Newspaper Page TextThe 3Mavietta ¥ e e ee e Eurered at the Post Office. Marietta, Ga.. as Second Class Matter. MARIETTA GA- TrURSDAY MoRNING, MaY 28, 1908.: e — Mr. Bryan is opposed to more battle ghips Roosevelt and Hobson are ¢clam oring for a bigger navy. Hon. Joseph M. Brown is oat in an other eard of considerable length, but it is a very atrong paper. Bryan, iv is said, is making $280,000, or $60,000 net, off of his newspaper, The Commoner. Dwight Wheeler, of Middlebury, Conn., has succeeded in growing Irish potatoes on the potatoe vines. Hoke Smith is not the author of pro hibition, nor disfranchisement, says Hon. Albert Cox. To be sure. Bryan, if nominated, will carry every democratic State in the South. The Southern people are democrats from principle. If the people wanted a man to be governor four years, then they would have put it in the state constitution four years in place of two. A dentist of New York charged $4,000 for pulling a tooth for N, E. Barnes’ wife, of Colorado. He issuing for the money. Bishop K. Reese, formerly of Nash ville, Tenn , was consecrated Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Georgia, Thursday last, at Savannah. Senator Clay got some splendid ap propriations for Georgia recently. He 18 getting results for the good of the people, while politicians at home are fighting one another. Roosevelt with the stroke of a pen erased ‘‘ln God We Trust” from the gold coins, and it has taken congress a long time legislating to restore the motto. It has been estimated that a loss of 40 voters in each county from the vote received by Governor Smith in the last race, will defeat him. If this is true, Joe Brown wiil be alected. Joe Lrown is highly commended by his neighbors, which -is a mighty good sign. If there’s anything wrong with a man, his neighbors will know it.—Rome Tribune-Herald. In our judgment, the argument is about exhausted and the people are ready to vote for Brown or Smith, as they have made up their minds. There will be very few changes, one way or the other, from now on. Question! The Fort Valley Leader says that if the other counties in Georgia give Joe Brown as large majorities as Crawford and Houston, Hoke Smith’s defeat will be as great as Clark Howell’s was two years ago. Our information is, that Joe Brown will earry not only Fulton county, but every county north of Atlanta, except Milton, Chattooga, Gilmer and Gordon, and he will even up things with Smith in thoge counties. “Foreign capital’” means capital out side of the State of Georgia, no matter whether it’s Alabama, New York, Penn sylvania, Massachusetts or Europe. We mention this fact because a Hoke Smith advocate the other day said it meant only “European capital ’’ At a union meeting of the churches of Tifton, Ga., now being conducted at the Methodist charch Ly Rev. T. M, Christian, of Quitman, there have been four hundred conversions. Nearly two hundred have joined the church. Lead ing politicians have confessed Christ, Just such a revival is needed in Mari etta. Dr. Nunnally was asked if prohibition was safe in the hands of Governor Smith. He replied: *No. not unless ‘his hands are tied, his pockets sewed up, his mouth sealed, and his feet spiked down with forty penny nails. You ask me why and how do I come to this conclusion? Because he has no fixed principles and no well settled policies. His record shows that he has been on all sides of avery polit ical question for the last twenty years. Given the opportunity and the induce ment, he will take any side of any ques tion.” In the United States today there are more than 175000 lawyers—more than in any profeseion or calling save teach ing and medicine. In addition to this large number there are thousands of young men in law offices and colleges educating themselves for the law—a mighty army of legal representatives, Now, here is a chance for a real reform er to make a name for himself—and get an office, too. What this country needs is less lawyers. Now, let the real re former get busy.—Ohio Magazine. No reform necessary. Business con ditions will regulate it. Our observa tion is many of these young lawyers drop out and enter other lines of busi ness to earn a living. PLENTY OF CARS TO CARRY FRUIT. The railway lines touching the peach belt of Middle Georgia have placed over 1,000 fruit cars along the sidings, to be used in the moving of the crop this geason. Shipping of the Sneed varieties of peaches has already been started, and the indications are that the grow ers will have very large crops of fine fruit. Plans will be made to meet the over-supply with canneries in mary places. The carriers are now engaged in making plans for the rapid transpor tation of the crop to the large markets, and it is certain that the peaches will reach the larger cities'in a fine eondi tion.”’ POST-OFFICE BUILDING. We have information from Senator Clay that beaides the $50,000 appropria ted tor the new post-office publie build ing for Marietta, that an additional $lO,OOO has been secured to add another story for an armory. The architect has completed the plans, and the advertise ment is this week placed in the Marietta papers for contract bids. This meang gpeedy beginning of the work. It generally takes about a year after the appropriations for all the prelimi nary work to be perfected. This has now beendone. Senator Clay, Congressman Lee and others of the Georgia delegation have worked day and night for Georgia in gsecuring public builaings, and nearly $6800,000 was in the public building bill for this State last week. We do not think Georgia ever had a better delegation than she has there now, both in the Senate and the House. MARIETTA HIGH SCHOOL.

BIRTHDAY REUNION. On Sundey last the hospitable home of Mr. and Mrs. E. 8. Cleland was thrown open to a happy family and birthday reunion in honor of their mother, Mrs. George W. Cleland., Those present were Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Alston and family, Messrs. George and James Cleland and families, and Mr, Ewing Brown, of Muskogee. It was a great digsappointment that two branches of the family were unavoidably absent, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Alston, of Tahle quah, and Mrs. Barnwell, of Atlanta. It was a sight pleasant to behold~that crowd of loving children and grand children gathered around their aged mother, and she doubtless felt that it was good to have lived through the snowg and sunshine of saventy-five years to find herself still the recipient of such unbounded love and devotion. It was an occasion long to be remem bered.—Wagoner (Okla.) Record.
