VISIT SMYANA.
The Postoffice Safes Dy
namited and Robbed.
No Clue.
“Critic,”” our Smyrna correspondent,
writes of a robbery in that town as
follows: Last Saturday night robbers
entered the store of S. J. Irelan, who
also is postmaster of Smyrna, and help
ed themselves to all in sight. They
drilled the safe of the postoffice and
also the safe of Mr, Parker Rice and
blew them open with some explosive
presumably dynamite, or nitro-glycer
ine. They then carried away all the
postoffice funds, stamps, and stamped
envelopes. In Mr. Rice’s safe they
found no valuables, but both safes are
ruined by the explosion. The job was
evidently done by experts as the work
was thoroughly done they having
piled flour, bolts of ecloth and other
stuff against the safes to mufile the
sound of the, explosion. It is no
known what amount they secured but
it will amount to several hundred dol
lars. There is no clue to the robbers,
save a few footprints at the back door
of the store where they entered and
left the place.
They tave Holiday Goods
of Every Description.
Build Up Homte.
The Christmas holidays will soon be
upon us. Our merchants have putin
splendid stocks of goods in all lines,
which are generally sought during the
holiday season. It is nothing more than
right and just that our people should
give them their trade and thereby help
sustain them in business. The trade
this fall has not been all that was ex
pected. Farmers Lhave done but little
trading in comparison with what they
have done formerly, and every well
wisher of our town and county should
se@ to it that their trade this season
should be given to home merchants.
Don’t go to Atlanta, but patronize home
people, who help pay the taxes and
make contributions to all your enter
prises, and who afford you accommoda
tions when you need it The way to
build up Marietta is to contribute your
good words when you can, and your
money, when you have trading tedo, to
home merchants and business men.
You will find in Marietta stores arti
cles of every description and sold as
reasonable as any Atlanta house. So
place your patronage at home, and
thereby keep your money at home, so it
may come back to you again. If yousend
it off to other towns, it is gone forever,
and you hurt those who are disposed to
help you if you will enable them to do
so by your trade. Trade at home.

MARIETTA, GA., THURSDAY MORNING, DEC. 12, 1901
DISPENSARY BILL
; L
|
| VETOED BY GOVERNOR.
“Delusion and a Snare”
is what Governer Can=
dler Calls the Bill.
Governor Candler vetoed Seab
Wright’s whiskey dispensary bill and
|he gave good reasons for it. He said it
was ambiguous—that it meant either
dispensaries or barrooms, with no
chance to vote for prohibition.
Governor Candler further says: ‘lt
is evident that it was drafted with spe
cial reference to the ‘‘wet’’ counties in
the state, and without regard to those,
{ more than ninety per centof the whole,
in which liquors cannot now be lawful-
Iy sold at all. Its effeet would be to
precipitate elections in all of the coun
ties which have, under the local option
law, prohibited the sale of liquor with
in their borders, in order to give the
wet counties a chance to establish dis
pensaries ; to lose those counties which
have been saved in order to save those
which have been lost; to damn the re
deemed by an awkward device to re
deem the damned.”’
Hon. Seab Wright says he will now
vote to sustain the governor’s veto,and
after the legislature is over, he will not
offer for another office, but will retire
to private life.
Rev. Sam Jones has also recanted
and says it would have been a bad thing
if the bill had not been vetoed.
The Governor did right, and prov
ed a breakwater in preventing the peo
ple from being flooded with whiskey,
and preventing interminable strife and
bitterness over frequent elections in all
the dry eounties in the state. If Gov
ernor Candler had done nothing else
worthy of mention during his incum
bency of the, Executive chair, he de
serves the gratitude of the people in
vetoing this faulty and mischievous
dispensary bill. Seab Wright has been
erratic in his polities; and has demon
strated that he is erratie in his temper
ance principles and judgment. Alj
honor to Governor Candler. /

Caught It in Atlanta. He

small pox also, having taken it from
her husband,

FOUND NOT GUILTY,
l
He Killed Ed Jennings by
Striking Him with a
Plank,
Bud Keith, colored, who, in a diffi
culty, struck XEd Jennings. colored,
with a plank, fracturing his skull, from
which he died three weeks afterward,
was tried Wednesday in Cobb Superior
Court for murder. The testimony was
that Jennings had a knife in his hand
and was was advancing on Keith, in
Meinert’s livery stable where Keith
was employed, and that Keith backed
two or three steps and warned Jennings
before he struck him with the plank.
The blow knocked Jerninge to the floor
and he was carried off unconscious with
blood dripping out of his nose and ear.
After lingering for three weeks Jen
nings died. Keith was defended by
Col. J. Z. Foster and Col. P. D. Me-
Cleskey and prosecuted by Solicitor
Simpson and Assistant Henley. The
jury returned a verdict of not guilty,
and Keith walked out of the court room
a very happy man.

Lovers of amusement should avail
themselves of the opportunity of wit
nessing ‘‘Railroad Jack” on its presen
tation here. The explosion at Dawson
Switeh, and the flight of the midnight
express is said to be very realistic, the
great tornado scene in which a circus
tent is blown to pieces and alady is
thrown into a lion’s den and rescued by
the tramp in full view of the audience
is the most sensational of all previous
efforts. *‘Railroad Jack” will appear
at the People’s Theatre on Friday, De
cember 13th. The lion will be drawn
through the prineipal streets at noon
on the day of exhibition. Prices 25c,
