Puausnefns AND PROPRIETORS Officiai Journal ot Cobb County. Official Journal of Marietta. MARIETTA GA- Traurspay MorNiNGg, Sger. 5, 1907, ] Richard Mansfield, the great Ameri can actor, died at New London, Conn,, last week. Every now and then a craze comes over the country. It runs its course and then peters out. Wateh the pres ont condition of affairs. Why in the name of wise statesman ship doesn’t this government dispose of the Philippine Islands, as they are costing us too much money and lives? Judge Horace M. Holden has been appointed Justice of the Supreme Court of Georgia, to succead Judge Andrew Cobb. The Georgia Railroad Commission seems to be a legislative body also. What the General Assembly failed to enact, it will proceed to enact itself. No matter what your condition in life, you will find that work is the pan acea for trouble and will give more con tentment and Happiness than idleness. ‘“‘Whatsoever & man soweth that shall he algo reap.” Greed sometimes over leaps itself and is hoisted by its own petard. Haven’t you seen that occur in more than one instance? The Armour Car Lines have agreed to pay $1.50 per crate for peaches that were at the place of shipment that they were unable to furnish cars for trans portation at Adairsville, Ga. Governor Smith has appointed Hon. Fuller E, Calloway, of Troupe county, and Hon. George hillyer, of Fulton county, as members of the Railroad Commission. The Commission was re- ‘ organized with Hon. 8. G. McLendon ag chairman. 1 Tom Watson’s bitter editorial against Congressmap Livingston, in the last issue of the Jeffersonian, lays a splendid foundation for criminal libel and dam ages. A bitter tongue and a virile pen are not the safest weapons to use in dealing with a fellow mortal. . The Railroad Commission calls on the railroads to furnish them a list of free passes by October Ilsth. TUnder the present law, as enacted, and to be en forced, the railroads have no rights, but simply to pay taxes. Itis a question of how long before some of them will be in the hands of a receiver. Judge Bogle, of Dalton, has decided that the city council of Dalton ecannot tax dogs. There is where the Judge is wrong. Itisnota *‘tax,” but a “li cense,’”’ and the city council can put any kind of a license upon anything it., pleases. Editor Larry Gantt of the Athens Call says hereafter his paper will not fight the political battles c¢f any candi date, but that his paper will give the "news,” and seek to build up the town and county. For a newspaper to be come a ‘‘personal” organ is not the best course to pursue by a good deal. A writer in the Atlanta Constitution gays the law prohibiting the sale of nar eoties to opium users is judieial mur der; that the sentence of death may have just as well have been imposed upon these poor uafortunates, who must have the morphine or die, go erazy, or commit suicide. A Kansas man is convinced that ad vertising pays. He advertised for a lost five-dollar bill and a stranger, who had picked up one on the street, read the sdvertisement and restored the bill to the advertiser. A few days later, while Ipoking over a vest he had laid off, the original lost bill was found in a pocket. He says advertising pays 100 p er cent, We thank Editor Ernest Camp for sending us a copy of his splendid in dustrial edition of 48-pages. It is pleas ing to newspaper men to see such evi dernce of industry, intelligence and en terprise as displayed by Editor Camp in this magnificent and creditable edi tion, 8o profusely illustrated and beau tifully printed. It will prove the best‘ advertisement Monroe aud Walton l eounty ever had. Our congratulations on this evidence of prosperity and suec eegs ! The SBavannah Press says ‘it remains o be seen whether the State has not .sustained a loss in the summary sus. pension of Railroad Commissioner Jo seph M. Brown,” who it declares to be “an able man and well up in railroad work.” The Preas, too, calls attenticn to the fact that his gtand upon the sub- Ject of port rates was endorsed by the chairman, Warner Hill, and Commis gionet O. B, Stevens. CUOTTON FACTORY. We have been urging our people to build a cotton factory for years, and at one time we got a meeting in the office of the Marietta Trust and Bank ing Co. of a number of our ecitizens, and we thought the enterprise was a dead certainty. We had one man who offered to take a big amount of stock, but it failed to materialize. 1 What we want to do to secure this ientel‘prise is to get the co-operation of iall the citizens, without regard to fac tions, and then something can be done. We are glad to see our Lawrence street contamporary urging this matter also. iLet us all pull together for building ‘up the town. What helps one, helps all. The prosperity of all towns is meas ured by its manufacturing enterprises. Let us keep the ball rolling until the eontton factory hums with the musie of spindles. i DEATH OF DR, J. P. LEGG. The sad news reached Marietta Thursday of the death of Dr. J. P. Legg on Wednesday afternoon at 6:30 o’clock at his home in Morristown, Tenn., where he has been ill for some time. He was the father of our esteemed citi- | zens, Mr. J.P Legg and Mr. J. W.{ Legg. He was a recent visitor to our city and is well known here. Our peo ple learn of his death with regret. Our sympathy is extended to the be reaved famify. A CONSERVATIVE MAN. Hon. Pope Brown, of Hawkinsville, in declining to accept the office of Rail road Commissioner, as tendered him by Governor Smith, says: “In declining the place I shirk no publiz responsibility. The duties are not arduous or distasteful to me, and if I felt that I might contribute to a bet ter state of feeling which would result in the betterment of all interests in volved, I would not hesitate to accept the place. But lam a conservative man and at this time there seems to be no spirit of compromise in the air.”’ OUR TEACHERS AND SCHOOL. Mrs. Little, Miss MecDaniell, Miss Cantrell, Miss Barnes, teachers in the public scheool, who have been out of the city during vacation, have returned and we are all [glad to see them. It isasource of deep regret, that Miss Foy, enroute from her home in Thomas county, to Marietta, was taken with fever in Atianta last week, and had to be faken to St Joseph In firmary for treatment. Her host of friends here pray for her speedy recov ery. The new teachers, Misses Deas, Robertson and Smith are most cordially welcomed. Miss Hunt takes position again as teacher. Misses Towers, An derson and Ford, and Mr, Sylvester and Supt. Dumas are on hand and al! in the active discharge of their responsible duties. The school opened Monday with the largest attendance in its his tory, and promises to be the most sue cessful. The first primary grade, two teachers, Las 122 pupils, and others had to be turned away. Two hundred new pupils have been admitted. The enroliment of whites isT63O, Colored enrollment 286 pupils} Total 916, DEATH OF S. W. JAMES. - Mr. S. W. James, an esteemed citizen, died Monday night at his home several miles west of Marietia, in the 76th year of his age. - He was a crippled Confederate vete ‘ran, and one of God’s noblemen in all the elements of true manhcoa. He leaves one son and two daughters. His funeral took place Wednesday. - Oar sympathy is extended to the be reaved. MR. T. A, GRAMLING’S RESIDENCE BURNED. About one o’clock Tuesday afternvon a tremendous down-pour of rain fell, in regular sheets of water, accompanied by vivid and incessant lightning that was alarming. During this frightful time the fire bell rang out, carrying terror to the hearts of our people. Lightning had struck Mr T. A. Gram ling’s elegant residence, located about one mile from the city square, on Pow der Springs street. Instantly, it is stated, the roof of the building was in a blaze, as if the wires in the building had communicated the lightning to all parts of the upper story. The raincon tinued to fall in torrents, and the fire men and citizens went through the flood of water to help save the house, but it was doomed and quiekly burned to the ground. A good deal of the fur niture, ete., was saved, but in a badly damaged condition from water. The house was & new one, built by Mr. Gramling on a slight eminence. It | was elegant in finish, and with all mod ern conveniences. ‘There was some in ‘surance, but it will be a great loss to Mr. Gramling and family. ~ We sincerely sympathise with them ‘ in this misfortune. LIGHTNING SHATTERS FLAG STAFF. The flag staff at the National Ceme tery 150 feet high, in Masietta, was to tally destroyed by a stroke of lightning Tuesday one o’olock Tuesday afternoon during the heavy rainfall, Pieces were scattered everywhere for a distance of 150 yards, Mr George B Nigh found a large piece on Roswell street sticking upright in the ground where it bad been hurled in destruction, The ball ‘ and flag were hurled over by the ros trum, AGENTS ¢ : : HUYLER'S Wesl Vi Fo Compny. i MARIETTA = I i @ @ Public School Book Lists Now Ready.
