The United States Government, re
cognizing tile valuo of the service be
ing rendered by the seven organizations
doing welfare work among-our soldier;

sums of money are required to carry

IStln
These organizations are doing vital
war work and are backing the Gov

The Registration Cards and Question-
aires.
The work of the Woman’s Committee
in filling the registration cards and
questionnires for more than thirty-five
hundred men deserves special appre

questionnires for the younger and older

Mrs. ,1. 1). McGouirk, of Carrollton,
Chairman. I passed away at her home on West Av
enue on Wednesday, the 23rd day of
October, and while she had resided in
ubt a short time, she had
by her strong character and marked
personality, won the respect and es
teem of a large circle of friends and ac
quaintances.
She was domestic in her tastes, aad
devoted her life to the making of an
agreeable and happy homo for her hus
band and children. Her chiefcst care
and consideration was that her children
might grow up to manhood and woman
hood healthy in body and pure and
clean in mind and spirit and those who
know the relation existing between her
anil her children wore, impressed .with
the love, tenderness, and beautiful de
votion that characterized tho conduct
of her children towards her. She was
a veritable queen in the home where
all the subjects delighted to acknowl
edge her wise and loving direction.
She is survived by her husband, .1. D.
McGouirk,' and ten children, all of
whom have the sincere sympathy of
their friends, and neighbors.
May an inscrutable Providence mel
low and sweeten the lives of her loved
ones, that the sacrifice they makejn the
loss they sustain may not have been in
vain. . /. \A FRIEND.

WE WILL MEET
AGAIN SOME DAY
The boys are going over the top
Our country’s flag to.shield;
They fight to maintain freedom
On a foreign battle field.
Some of them have fallen
In the battle’s stormy fray;
But again we will meet some day.
The. service flags are flying,
In every patriot’s home
For the brave boys lighting,
Far across the ocean’s foam.
Defending our noble country
Against the tyrant’s sway,
d they in graves distant sloe]),
We will meet aljain some day.
Brave lads, we are praying for you
To crush the German band,
That fights for Kaiserism
In France, on No Man’s Land;
We are praying for you ever,
n And in our prayers we pray
Should you sleep in graves far distant
Again we will meet some day
When the cruel war is over,
And the fighting is all done,
, When the boys come home in splendor,
A glorious victory won.
In soling home there will be sadness;
Some heart will have to say,
“lie sleeps in a grave far distant
But we will meet again some day.”

Now that tho ordinary has called the
election to vote on the question of
abolishing the City Court, and that the
people may vote intelligently, 1 desire
to say a few things which is made ne
cessary because of some misrepresents
tions of facts in regard to tho court
and the hill to abolish the same.
The first thing to bear in mind is
that a hill was passed by the last leg
islature putting the Solicitor General
of the Coweta Clieuit on a salary. By
tlie advocates of the court it is elnipi-
ed that we will not get no more con
victs on our roads, because nil convicted
in tlie Superior Court goes to the State.
This is an error, because nil misde
meanor convicts go to the county. The
Inw fixes that, and besides there is less
likelihood of Superior Judges reducing
lines in order for it to he paid so that
the court officials can get the fines to
pay insolvent cost. There is where the
county suffers. Again, it is claimed
that it costs more to try n case in Su
perior Court than in City Court. This
is an error, because it takes tlie same
iiiimer of jurors, bailiffs and other court
officials for the City Court that it does
for the Superior Court You may have
been presented with figures showing
what* it costs to try so many eases in
Superior Court and City Court which,
taken by tliemslcves. show somo ad
vantage in favor of the City Court, but
when you consider that the eases in
the City Court are misdemeanor eases,
and do not consume much time, so tak
ing into consideration the grade of of
fenses it costs mo.'o to try a case in
City Court than in Superior Court.
Again, it is claimed that’ it will keep
the jail full. That is an error, because
the eases tried in the City Court nre
bomlnblo eases and nearly always taken
out mi bond. Again, it is claimed that
the fees that tlie Solicitor of the City
Cojirt gets will go to the Solicitor of the
Superior Court. This is an error, lie -
auso the Solicitor of the Superior
Court is oil n salary, and the fees of
the Solicitor of the City Court will go
into tho.county treasury if court is abol
ished. Again, it is said if the City
Court is abolished the present Solictor
will lose all of his unpaid cost. This is
an error, because the bill provides that
all costs actually earned by him shall be
paid to him ns the eases are tried in the
Superior Court.
If the court is abolished and the Su
perior Court cannot take care of the
business, the legislature enn arrange for
four terms of Superior Court, hut this
canid not be done witli referendum in
bi^ The support of this court is one
of-the heaviest burdens the tax> payers
have.
\viiat will it save the countyf Let
us see. We can only judge by the past,
and by this we find that the Solicitor of
the City Court received Inst year, ac
cording to his sworn report, $2,055;
the Solicitor of tho Superior Court re
ived jn fees from this county about
$1,450. By August first, this year, he
had received over $800, The Judge of
tli City Court received a salary of
$1,500; total, $5,005. Now the Solici
tor of the Superior Court gets from the
county $912, which, taken from $5005,
leaves $4003, Which will go into the
county treasury if court is abolished.
Besides too may courts breeds litiga
tion and harasses tlie,people tearing up
communities and bringing people to
court in the busiest of times, which, if
such cases had to go to the grand jury,
would never find their way into court.
Personally, J care not what the peo
ple do. If they vote to abolish it or
to retain it, makes no difference with
me, but courts are established for the
people and they should have a Say in
all local matters. If you want to abol
ish it go to the polls oil November 5th
and see tlifit your ballot reads, “For
Abolishing the City Court;” if you
want to retain it, see that your ballot
reads, “Against Abolishing the City
Court.”
Yours truly,
I. II. P. BECK.
P. S.—The above was written before
I saw the feeble effort in the Free Press
last week trying to show that the court
was a necessity, rit is fully answer* xj
