Contestants of the will of the late
' Joshua B. Crawford lost in their final
fight in the Supreme Court of Geor
gia Friday when a writ of error was
denied them and the case was thrown
out of court.
Forty-eight contending helrs-at-law
charged that Crawford made his will
giving all his property to his wife,
Mrs. Mary Belle Crawford, while he
was of unsound mind.
The entire estate, valued at $250,000,
now goes to the widow. The fight
over the will has been on the courts
,‘tor more than a year. In March, 1914,
James L. Anderson, appointed a spe
cial auditor by the courts, reported
that Crawford, in his opinlon, was of
sound mind and the will valid. This
decision was upheld by Judge George
L. Bell in Superior Court. It was‘
then the appeal was taken to the State
- Supreme Court.
Under the established procedure of
Pthe Supreme Court, the plaintiff in
. error must except to the final judg
~ ment of the trial court. Omission of
§ this formality invalidates the appeal,
. under the rule. It was this omission
. that resulted in the court’s action 1n
. the Crawford case.

But sometimes they DO come back.
George W. Clark, for instance—
lately Convict No. 3001 in the Atlanta
Federal Prison.
The Georgian got a letter from
George Clark Friday morning. The
letter said:
“Inclosed please find $35. Please see
that Mrs. Emma Neal Douglas gets
this money, I forgot her address. This
is money I borrowed from her, with
the interest added. Tell her that I
have had a hard time of it, but things
are picking up now, and I have got
together the amount I owe her, Please
thank her for me the best you can.
She certainly does a lot of good out
at the prison.”
The letter was written from Cin
cinnati. It is pretty nearly self-ex
planatory.
And it is good evidence that they
DO come back.
WAYCROSS, GA. July 16.—The

front telling of fighting south of that
town, in which the Russians repelled
numerous German attacks.
German attacks are also in prog

have resumed their offensive in the
Shavli and Niemen districts, while the
Austrians on the Dniester River are
