Nap Rucker Abolishes Roswell Police
Force, Tears Down Calaboose
Roswell, Ga.—Roswell, a town of
approximately 2,000 inhabitants, is
no longer to have a calaboose or po
lice force, Nap Rucker, mayor and
one-time big league ball player, an
nounced Friday.
The decision was reached at a
meeting of Roswell city council
Thursday night and the old jail
house will be torn down, Mr. Ruck
er said, and the marshal, who also is
the city policeman, with extra help
on week-ends, will be the mashal
only.
“The city marshal can attend to
the few legal matters which come
up,” Mr. Rucker stated. “There are
one or two criminals around town,
but you can’t keep them in jail any
way. We don’t know how it will
work, but we’re going to try it. And
it ought to save some tax money,
too.”
Mr. Rucker, who has been mayor
for a number of years, pitched for
the Brooklyn Baseball Club from
1907 to 1916. He is a native of
Georgia and was born in old Milton
County.

HONEST ADVERTISING

Nothing will take the place of honest ad
vertising in this country for many years to come.
Advertising carefully prepared and attractively
presented will help business now just as it has
done in the past. Those who practice the
doubtful method of economy by refusing to use
any advertising media are woefully ignorant
of facts. —Weston (Mo.) Chronicle.
