Pending formal decision, however, the captured steamer will be held by the American authorities with the prize crew, the captain and crew of the liner and lerlaia of the passengers who are alleged to belong to the armed forces of Great Britain on board. Permission lias been given by the government for the 245 other persons on board to land at Newport News. There is scarcely any fighting on any of the battle fronts except artillery engagements. Heavy bombardments have taken olacc in the Champagne region of " I France and near St. Die in the Yosges, with the French the aggressors. The French guns also have shelled the town of Lens. On the Russian front Berlin claims the defeat of a strong Russian force between* the Stochod and Styr rivers, while Vienna reports the forced withdrawal of the Russians from their advanced trenches near Uscieczko, in east Galicia during mining operations In hand to hand fighting on the Coldi Lana slope the Austrians report the capture and destruction of Italian saps and also the repulse of Italian infantry attacks in the Sugana valley. Rome, however, credits the Italians with the victor in the latter region. JLlie concentration 01 large numoers of Germans, Bulgarians, and Turks along the Greek frontier is taken in Athens to mean that an attack by the Teutons and their allies is soon to be made at Saloniki. In Albania the Austro-Hungarian: are reported to be continuing their progress unopposed. A dispatch from Athens says a portion of the Montenegrin army has affected a juncture with the Servian troops and fallen back on Durazzo, Albanias chief seaport, which is now the main objective of the Austro-Hungarians. Greece and Rouir.ania have signed a dual neutrality compact, according to a Rome dispatch. The British in East and West Africa are keeping up their gains against the Germans, according to official reports from that region. In West Africa a British column has forced a junction with the French troops v.\ Abam. The crow 1 prince of Turkey is rC reported in a Constantinople dispatch, -coming by way of Berlin, to have committed suicide, owing to ill health. "Reasonable hope for a positive understanding" between the United States and Germany on the Lusitania issue is felt in Berlin, according to a semi-official announcement there today Instructions sent to Ambassador von Bernstorff give rise to this hope, it is said. In Mesopotamia the British are pre vented f-om attempting to advance because of bad weather and floods. * o IN LOVING REMEMBRANCE Of Uncle Neal Lee On January 81, 1916, the death angel visited the home of Mr. and Mrs. C. S. Lee and took from them their loving husband and father. Ho was born July 15, 1855 and died January 01, 1916. He was 60 years, 6 months and 15 days old. His remains wore j laid to rest the foliowintr tlav m CJ ?** / V.IV Good Hope cemetery to await the res- | urection morning. The funeral servi- i ces were conducted by Rev. J. W. j Todd, his pastor. In early life lie joined the Mission- j ury baptist church at Good Hope and about thirty years ago he was happily converted and lived a failhfui member and Christian life until his death. He leaves a wife, eleven children, eight boys and three girls, one brother of Eastman, Ga., and one sister of Chadboum, N. 0., and ten grandchildren and a host of friends and relatives to mourn our loss of a good man and a kind neighbor. While we mourn our loss of Undo Neal we hope AGAINST TH? LAW TO WHIP COWiCTS I ! Attorney General Answers In-! quiry From Board of Charities and Corrections. "It is clear to my mind that if a sentence of corporal pun'shment is unconstitutional, as it is, certainlythe infliction of such punishment wit'i; i out sentence would be unlawful," says -j Thomas H. Peoples, attorney genrcal,j in an opinion rendered yesterday upon request of Albert S. Johnstone, secretary of the State board of ehari-( ties and corrections. The opinion in part follows: "The prohibition against the infliction of corporal punishment extends, in my opinion, not only to prohibiting the courts from sentencing a convict to corporal punishment, as was for-, merly permitted years ago under our laws, but in my opinion this prohibition extends also to convicts who arc confined in the penitentiary or upon chaingangs and it is unlawful to inflict corporal punishment upon them." it is his eternal gain. Fie was oniv sick a few hours. All was done that loving hands and kind friends could, do, but God saw fit to take him home, to rest.

He was always ready in sickness or in health to lend a helping hand. Many will miss his generosity and his charity, which was wide-spread and ever ready to help those in need. No one was ever denied his helping hand. Uncle Neal, it was hard to give you up, but God saw I best to take you home with him in Heaven. Peaceful be thy silent slumber, Peaceful in thy grave so low; Thou no more shall join our number, Thou no more our song shall know. Sleep on Uncle Neal and take thy rest and be forever blessed. A place is vacant that never can be filled, a voice we loved is stillel, but; we hope to meet you in that sweet bye and bye. His Loving Nieces, Beulah Lee, . t Blanch Goodyear. I I "T wk v, \v \*i. .
