The city election to be held here next
Wednesday is of general interest, owing
to the unusual features connected with
it, for while the interest that is always
shown in the election of mayor, police
clref and recorder is lacking, this be
ing what is called an “off year,’’ still
Dalton,' for the first time in its history,
lias a woman candidate for public office,
and the women are going to help hold
the election.
Miss Mary Wheeler is a candidate
for clerk in opposition to Clerk W. M.
Carroll, who is a candidate for re-elec
tion. Then, in the Sixth ward, genuine
interest attaches fo the race for coun
cilman, for two brothers are candidates
for the office, and the warmest kind of
a fight has developed, with three men,
Walter Kenner, Will Kenner, Jr.,vand
L. B. Lawton, rolling logs. Indications
are the contest is going to be a close
one in the sixth.
Two Races Develop.
Last week, it appeared that J. W.
Williams and F. .D. Percy would he
elected without opposition as council
man from the iSeeond and Seventh
wards, respectively; but there’s going
to be no easy sailing for anybody. E.
E. Bailey and W. M. Painter state they
are in the race in the Second ward, and
J. L. Murphy has entered in the
Seventh. This makes certain opposi
tion to all who want to hold any of the
city offices.
There’s a lively race for treasurer,
with Toon Gilbert and George Spring-
field both wanting the job. _
In the Third ward, it appears that the
candidates. are J. N. Caylor, the only
retiring member of the present council
who is seeking re-election, and T. F.
Pierce and J. T. Vick.
There’s plenty of interest in the
election of next week, and, with the
women voting, a record vote is ex
pected.
Mr. Murphy’s Announcement.
Mr. J. L. Murphy makes his formal
announcement for councilman in this
issue of The Citizen,'and, although he
is entering late, he has .'entered with
the determination of giving a good ac
count of himself.
Mr. Murphy is a ibuieher in the em
ploy of Bowen Bros., and is one of
Dalton’s good, steady citizens, being
a man of many excellent traits. Be
ing popular among many people, he will
make a good race for the office. His
announcement is as follows:
For Councilman.
To the Voters of the Seventh Ward:
Desiring to represent my ward on
city council, I hereby announce my
candidacy, subject to the election of
Wednesday, Dec. 8. If elected, I will
at all times work for the best interests
of the city. I will appreciate your
vote and help in the election.
Respectfully,
J. L. Murphy.

offer any help.

eduction and common sense can teach
the work as outlined by Mr. M. L. Brit

Empty Stocking Fund Com
mittee Ready to Re
ceive Donations
MONEY TO BE WELL
SPENT AS FORMERLY
Committee Will Decide on Methods of
Helping Needy During Coming
YuldtS.de — People Asked to
Give Generously
The Empty Stocking Fund committee
is ready to receive contributions to be
used for bringing Christmas cheer to
the hearts of the city’s poor. Just how
the committee will spend the money this
year will be worked out and announced
later—that is whether there will be a
Christmas tree for the youngsters of the
poor or a distribution of food and cloth
ing, or both—at any rate, the money
will be carefully and wisely spent, as it
has been in the past, and all who give
to the fund can do so with the knowl
edge that their contribution is going
to be used to advantage.
The Empty Stocking fund idea, start
ed years ago, has been a happy feature
of Dalton’s Christmas observance of
the past. It has been the means of mak-
ing glad the hearts of many little chil
dren, who, otherwise, would have had
no “Santa Claus.” 'It has also brought
bodily comfort to the older people who
were not fortunate so far as the world’s
goods were concerned. Baskets of
food, warm clothing, fuel, etc., have
been sent into all sections of the city,
the committee handling the fund being
well acquainted With conditions and
seeing i that all worthy cases received
attention. While the work has not been,
perfect, it has been just as near to
it as is possible, and all acquainted with
the workings of the Empty Stocking
fund committee know this.
This year, you have much for which
to feel kindly toward the world in gen
eral, and a good way of showing this is
to share with those who are not so for
tunate as you are. Send in $1 or $5 or
$10 or any larger sum, either to Dr.
Frank Sims, who is permanent chair
man of the copunittee, or to T. S. Mc-
Camy at the Citizen office, and your con
tribution will be acknowledged through
the columns of The Citizen and will be
applied to the Empty Stocking fund.
You who have little children at home
who are anticipating the coming of San
ta Claus, think of the children of Dal
ton ’s unfortunates, and dig, brother, dig.

Two Candidates for
Justice of Peace in
Saturday’s Election
T. C. McBryde and T. J. Bryant Candi
dates — Six Offer for Bailiff —
Thousands to Be Elected
Next Saturday will bring Georgia’s
greatest election, for in every militia
district in the. state, there will be a
justice of the peace and -two constables
elected.
In Whitfield county, there are thir
teen imilitia districts, which means that
Whitfield county will elect 39 officials—
13 justices of the peace and 26 con
stables.
In the 872d district, in which Dalton
is located, • Judge T. C. McBride and
Mr. Tom Bryant are candidates for
justice of the peace. Judge McBride
ad no opposition up to this week when
Mr. Bryant entered the face.
In each of the thirteen districts of
Whitfield cbnnty, a justice of the peace
will be elected. In practically every
instance the justice whose time expires
will offer for re-election, and few will
have any opposition.
The race for constable here is a free
for all. With two to be elected, there
are six candidates out after the
offices. J. M. Cash and J. N. Leonard
have both announced in The Citizen, and
it’s certain they will run the race
through. W. B. Callahan, . N. W. Bar
ry, J. L. Brandon and J. W. Clark are
also in the lineup..
There are probably, throughout the
state, something like 10,000 men running
for these offices, and there are about
7,500 office holders to be elected, this is
figuring on 2,500 militia districts, which
is probably in the neighborhood of the
number. The greatness of the election
can be readily appreciated by reading
these figures.
McBryde’s Announcement.
Mr. McBryde, who makes formal .an
nouncement of his candidacy this week,
has served as justice of the peace with
decided ability in the past, his court
being run in a systematic manner. His
fairness and unquestioned integrity
have made him a moif^capable official.
His announcement follows:
For Justice of the Peace.
I am a candidate for Justice of the
Peace, and I will greatefully appreciate
your vote and influence on Dee. 4th,
1920.
T. C. McBryde.

Ed I*etty Remanded to Jail,
Hearing Being Contin
ued to 15th
WAS ORDERED HELD
ON MURDER CHARGE
Killed Former Partner in Row at Illicit
Distillery, Claiming Self-Defense .
—One Witness Was Jailed for
Contempt
The application for bail for Ed Petty,
charged with the murder in Murray
county of Jim Huffman, was heard be
fore Judge M. C. Tarver here Friday
morning, the hearing being continued
until December 15, at which time, ac
cording to the court, it will be re
sumed provided any additional' facts/
that would tend to show Petty- should
be allowed to make bond, should devel
op. Judge Tarver ordered the Murray
county sheriff to take the prisoner back
to the county jail' at Cbatsworth, and
he also ordered Marion Millsap, one of
the witnesses who testified in the hear-
ing, put in jail hdre -for contempt of
court.
The petition was brought by Petty’s
attorneys in an effort to show that the
defendant should be admitted to bail,
they making the contention that Pet
ty, when he killed Huffman, was acting
in self defense.
Petty’s statement, while adm tting
that he shot and killed Huffman, was
that Huffman was advancing on him
with a heavy “mash” stick at the
time he shot him. The killing occurred
at an illicit distillery in Murray coun
ty several weeks ago, it being alleged
that the moonshiner’s outfit was the
property of Huffman. Betty also ad
mitted that he was in partnership with
Huffman, but that the partnership was
dissolved about two months prior, to
the killing. . ■ i.
The attitude tff Marion Millsap, one
of the witnesses on the stand, was such
as to cause Judge Tarver to order him
to jail for contempt of court, to be
held until he would frankly answer the
questions asked him.

GREAT PICTURE COMING
TO CRESCENT THEATRE
“Up in Mary’s Attic” to Be Shown
Here Next Saturday
Those hungering for a picture play
that will tie ail of their emot’ons in
a deep knot' and captivate them with
its unbounded humor should see “Up
In Mary’s Attic” at the Crescent
Thgatre, Saturday. The opening title
announces this picture as a Fine Arts
production. It is a six-reel comedy
directed by W. H. Watson and fea
tures Eva Novak, Harry Gribbon and
a galaxy of beautiful girls.
“Up In Mary’s Attic” is an excel
lent comedy, free from cheap trickery
andj slapst’ck. There are no exag
gerated situations, aimed too directly
to amuse the spectator. On the con
trary it depends for its humor on
its wholesome idea and spontaniety.
In other words here is a picture which
has a story, told with a dash of pep
and ■ humor. ,
Eva Novak and Harry Gribbon in the
leading roles play with plenty of spirit.
Miss Novak makes a most appealing
boarding school girl, and her efforts to
hide her baby and the fact that she is
married to-the athletic instructor are
rich with humorous possibilities. Mr.
Gribbon needs no introduction to the
habitual movie-goer. He is asknowl-
edged to be one of the cleverest come
dians of the day. No actor ,on the*
screen has more pantomimic ability.
A gesture, a wink of the eye, and he
has his audience laughing. ’
There are all the elements in this
picture which go to make up good
entertainment. Your money will be
well spent if . you choose to see it.
NEW RECTOR TO PREACH
SUNDAY AT ST. MARK’S
Sunday, Dec. 5th, there will be morn
ing, services at St. Mark’s Episcopal
church to which all are cordially in
vited. The new pastor, Mr. Gasque, of
Atlanta, will -conduct the service or
preach. Having been active in “wel
fare work ’ ’ during the w.ir, serving as
a Y. ML C. A. secretary, he doubtless
will be quite popular with the young
people and expects the cooperation of
all Episcopalians.
As the result of a fall susta’ned' on
Tuesday of last week, Mrs. F. C.
MeCutehen, relict of- the late Judge
Cic-ero D. MeCutehen, died shortly after
noon Monday, the death of this beloved
resident of D<on causing the deepest
sorrow throughout this section where
she had spent most of her long and use
ful life. Mrs. MeCutehen was 87 years
of age, and was, up to the accident
which caused her death, blessed with
excellent health. He life : was a most
detive one.
Prior to- her marriage, Mrs. McCut
chen was Miss Frances Cornelia Kelly,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas
Davis Kelly and a member of a prom
inent North Carolina fam’ly. She was
horn in North Carolina January 19, 1834,
and, at the age of 11 years, moved with
her family to LaFayette, where she was
married to Mr. C. D. MeCutehen, a
young lawyer, on April 27, 1854. They
moved from LaFayette to Dalton short
ly after the war between the states, and
it was here that her husband was elect
ed judge, of the superior courts over
which he so ably presided for a num-'
ber of years. ' *
Of the union eight children were
born. Three of the children, Mrs. Jas
per Satterfield, Mrs. Albert G. Douglas
and Gu^ McCutchen, the latter of whom
died in infancy, preceded here, and the.
other five, Mrs. George *L. Hardwick,
Sr., of Cleveland, 'Tenn.; Mrs. F. T.
Hardwick and Mrs. P. G-. Walker, and
Messrs. C. D. and F. K. McCutchen, of
this city, survive her. In addition to
her five children, one sister, Mrs. M. E.
Bitting, survives her.
Mrs. McCatchen was a gentle woman,
possessing a nobility of character that
attracted to her many admirers, and her
gentle goodness made for her lasting
friends. She was a member of the
Methodist church, and her religion was
strikingly shown in her daily walk—
she was, to a marked degree, charitable
and ever thoughtful of the comfort and
happiness of others. Typical of her
eharity was a remark she made to her
children shortly before her death, when
she had them promise th^t when she
died, instead of buying many costly
floral tributes, they would put the mony
into a fund to be given to the needy
children of Dalton.
The. spirit of helpfulness and unself
ish 'sacrifice that characterized the
noble womanhood of the old South was
hers to a marked extent. She perform
ed her task courageously and unfalter-
ingly, leaving to her children the herit
age of -a long life, spent in usefulness
and service., Hers was truly a beautiful
character, and the city as a whole la
ments her passing.
Tuesday afternoon at 2 o ’clock, many
friends and admirers assembled at her
home on South Thornton avenue from
which the funeral service was conduct
ed by Rev. Johq F. Yarbrough, assisted
by Rev. H. C. Emory, after which in
terment was in West Dill cemetery.
The many floral tributes were typical
of the life that was ended—beautiful
and sweet. ,
Among the’ out-of-town relatives and
friends here for the funeral were Mr.
and Mrs. George L. Hardwick, Sr.,
Mr. G. L. Hardwick, ” Jr., Mr. Cicero
Hardwick, Mrs. Sullins Stuart and Mrs.
Hal Moore, of Cleveland, Tenn.; Dr.
and Mrs. J. M. Hogshead, Mrs. W. G.
Evans and Mr. Emmett Newton, of
Chattanooga; Mrs. Will Patton, of
Sweetwater, Tenn.; Mr. and Mrs. J. E.
Satterfield, of Macon; Mrs. J. E.-San
ders and. son, Mr. James Sanders, Jr.,
of Alton Park, Tenn.; Mr. Kelly Bit
ting and daughter, Miss Susie Scott
Bitting, of Summerville.

With the-.eleetion managers select
ed and the polling places determined
on,; the stage’is. set for the city'election
of jjext Wednesday. £
That,the women will play a prominent^
part :n the coming election is evidenced
bv\ the number named as election man-
agers, the women predominating.
Small Registration.
The registration is unusually, small-
this year, being less than last year ’s in
spite of the fact that the women* will
be permitted to vote. In only one
ward is the registration around what it
should be, and that is the Third, where • •
309 have registered. Th’s, however,
is fully 100 short of the number en
titled to register in the ward. A notice
able feature connected with Jhe regis
tration of the women is that in the
down town wards, the registration of
women is by far heavier, than in the
wards ia the northern* and ; southern
part of the city*

Hue Order Expected. '
Owing to the-fact that the women
will assist in holding the election and
will also vote, the best o^ordier is ex
pected to prevail. Since the djty was
divided into wards, the elections have
been orderly, and this year’s is ex
pected to be • especially so.
The polling places will open next
Wednesday morning at 7 o’clock and
will close at 6 o’clock in the afternoon.
The candidates, the names of whom ap
pear elsewhere in this issue, are ready
and waiting for the election.
