Continued From Page 1.
frankly surprised at the completeness
of the arrangements, The enactment
cf the bill with the least possible (‘le
lay is vitally wmecessary, General
March emphatically announced.
General Pershing has reported the
results of a recent inspection of dock
facilities in l“r'un(-e,‘ said the chief
of staff, showing the Xtensions and
improvements have now made it pos
sible for America to handle a greater
number of men and supplies than
ever before.
No estimtae of the American cas
ualties in the present drive has yet
been received from the overseas com
mander, General March said.
It is very likely that the Twenty
seventh Division, made up of the
crack former National Guard regi
ments from New York State, com
manded by Major General John K.
O'Ryan, had its part in the British
victory in ghe north, Officials gener
ally believe that it was the division
mentioned by the British War Oflice
@s having won a cuccess between the
Somme and the Ancre In today's offi
cial report. This is not yet confirmed
by advices from “over ‘there,” but
General March stated to the news
paper men that the Twenty-seventh
was “in training with the British in
Flanders.”
Hears of Captures.
General March read from a confi
dential cablegram the statement that
in the present drive the British have
taken more prisoners than they have
been able to take care of, including a
German general and the members of
his staff,
General March again praised in the
highest terms the great work of the
Rainbow Division. The official re
ports received tell of its excellent
work in forcing the passage of the
Oureq and in defeating the crack
Prussian Guard and Bavarians sent
in to hold it.
The general said. that the Twenty
ninth Division is in the Alsace sector,
the Seventy-ninth in a training sec
tion and the Eighty-fifth has just ar
‘rlved in France and is not yet defi
nitely located.

Lawson Fields, Marietta Prmter,‘
: [ l
Fears Serious Slump in His |
Printing Business.
Lawson Fields, the poet-printer of
Marietta, i 8 distressed by the fewness
of the prospective candidates for the
Legislature from Cobb County. Law
son runs a print shop, and the more
cancidates there are for anything, the
more anrouncements and platforms
and declarations and discussions ot
these issues he has to print on his
8 by 12, which, as he modestly asserts,
*has printed more dope for success
ful candidates than any other press
since Old Ben Franklin pocketed his
rule and laid down his stick, away
back ‘in Seventeen Hundred and
Something.”
In his famous publication, The
Booster, Lawson urges‘a number uf‘
noble and worthy citizens of Cobb to
get in the going while the going is‘
good. Lawson plays no favoriws. He
says:
“There’s Old John Boston and Eph.
Roberts, Boyd Moss and Bill Attaway,
Gordon Gann and Cam. Wallace, J.
Abbott and G. Anderson, Jim Brum
by and his little brother Bolan, Til
Connor and Geo. Montgomery, Mor
gan McNeel and Dr. Perkinson, George
Sessions and Bob Hill—oh, the woods
are full of 'em! Don't get your feel- |
ings hurt, gentlemen, if I failed to in.
clude you as good and available tim
ber; any of you will do, and I like
you all,
“But, on account of your allfired
modesty, I'm going to help you out va
making one nomination, letting the
chips fall clattering wheresoever they‘
will.
1 3 herew, then, nominate Colonel C.'
Marfon Dobbs for one of the places
being made vacant by the retiremént
| 0f Cols. Cheney and Morris, the pres
ent incumbents
“Know C. M., don't you? Pretty
clever sort of a chap, I should say,
with sufficient mule in him to make
a conscientious ‘“‘gentleman from
Cobb.” Got plenty sense, teo. Also
safe ad sane is Marioi. He has
never asked for political preferment,
and probably never will, unless his
friends dé just as I am doing and get
in behind him with a sharp stick and
make him run, I say, there are no
filigree fixings and furbelows about
Dobbs. He's as plain as brogan shoes
and too honest ever to wax rich, and
too proud to let out a yell when the
luck’s against him. He smacks of the
soil, and would‘(eqresent the farmaer
as well as the town folk, except per
haps a leetle more so.
“Let's bundle him ap and ship him
on down to Atlanta next ternrand see
what he can do as rart and parcel of
the notoriouvs Georgia Legislature.”

Presiding Officers Insisted That
Pending Measures Be Attended
To Without Delay.
Members of the Georgia Legisla
ture are not enjoying the usual holi
day at home this week, the Speaker
of the House and the President of
the Senate both having ordained that
the members of their respective hous
es remain in session Saturday morn
ing for the transaction of business.
According to the rules of the house
only local business is permissible to
be transacted on Saturday morning,
but a special order has been issued
providing for action on general bills
today. ;
The appropriations bill, which has
passed the Senate, probably will not
come up again in the House before
Monday morning. By that time it is
expected that Governor Dorsey will
have ready to deliver to the Gen
eral Assembly the special message he
is preparing dealing with the ques
tion of the State’s finances, and
which it is hoped will offer some so-'
lution to the entanglement facing the
General Assembly over the appro
priations bill.
~ Several general bills were acted
‘upon at the Friday afternoon ses
sion. A resolution providing for the
‘appointment of a special commission
to go to Washington and present to
'the Government the St. Marks-St.
Marys canal plan was adopted. An
lappmpriation of SIO,OOO for the pur
chase of hog cholera serum next year
lwas allowed, as well as $4,000 to
make up a deficiency for the present
year.
But for a clever bit of legislative
maneuvering on the part of Conger,
of Decatur, the bill of Joe Hill Hall,
’givlng the Railroad Commission au
thority to approve the duplication of
public utilities in any municipality
would have passed.
| Conger affixed a rider to the bill in
the way of an amendment, providing
further that the Railroad Commisison
'be given authority to fix a minimum
as well as a maximum rate. The
friends of the Joe Hill Hall bill were
for the most part antagonistic to the
amendment of Conger, which hal
been offered previously in a bill, and
killed. Alex Lawrence, one of the
supporters of the Hall bill, and the
principal- opponent of the Conger
provision, moved that the bill with all
amendments be tabled. This motion
prevailed.
The Neill gpecial hiennial legisla
tive session bill, which was brought
back from: the Senate for verification
of the roll, upoa a reseclution intro
duced by Lanier, of Bullock, was
passed. Due to error in recording the
vote of one member it was necessary
to bring the bill back. The first time
lit was up for action it passed by the
bare 126 votes necessary. Friday aft
(ernoon, a number of its friends who
were not present the day before when
the vote was taken asked to be re
corded in the affirmative, and the bill
‘was sent back to the Senate, having
‘pas?ed by a good majority of 132
votes.

over each route and that special de
liveries be eliminated entirely, is
urged on the local food administra
tion by the conservation division of
the War Industries Board.
The control of unlicensed retailers
by the food administration is so lim
ited that this matter can not well he
made one of formal regulation, but
the food administration urges ear
nestly that all retail grocers in the
city adopt that program. It is being
adopted generally as a thing of much
patriotic importance all over \ the
country. .

Thousands of Workmen Will Be
Thrown Out of Employment
_ After Monday.
More than 140 industrial plants op- |
erated by electric power, including‘!
cotton mills employing thousands of
operatives, will be shut down begin
ning Monday at midnight, to remain
closed until rains in the Carolinas and
the North Georgia mountains replen
ish the reservoirs above Tallulah
Falls.
Notices were sent the owners of
the plants by Rawson Collier, sales
manager of the Georgia Railway and
Power Company. following letters two
weeks ago, in which a warning was
given. It was expected then that the
current would be cut off a week ear
lier, but small rains relieved the situ
ation to some extent. But these rains
did not spread over the Taiiulah Falls
watershed, and the river is now lower
than it has been since the great pow
er station was built. The Chatta
‘hoochee River, too, is at an extremely
Jow stage, hardly any power being
available at Bull Sluice. The com
pany has been driving its Atlanta
auxiliary steam plant”to its utmost
ivaxmcity for several weeks, but thie is
not equal to the demand for current
from the industrial plants along the
hydro-electric lines.
The order aflects only industrial
plants scattered along the company’s
lines, and does not disturb the street
car system, the electric lighting and
‘water pumping of any town supplied
by the company, nor domestic con
sumers in Atlanta. The company ex
pects to produce enough current to
supply these customers unless mat
ters reach a much worse stage than
now exists. The 40 or more cities on
the lines, however, have been request
ed to economize in lights and in water
supplied by electric pumps.
The Georgia Railway and Power
Company is at work on a reservoir
far up the Tallulah River, and above
the lake which now supplies the Tal-
Julah hydro-electric plant. When
comnleted, probably a year or more
from now, this reservoir will have
twice the capacity of the present Tal
lulah Lake, and is expected to store
enough water tc carry the company
through any drouth.
A number of the factories affected
have auxiliary steam plants, which
were put out of commission when the
electric system were adopted, but
which can readily be returned to op
eration. The difficulty of obtaining
coal and the high prices prevailing
will prevent some of these from using
steam power, however. Many of the
plants affected are on Government
work.

The finishing touch to any home is
the draperies. The cheer and comfort
of the rooms are lacking with barren
or poorly draped windows. You should,
therefore, give your windows very
careful thought in planning the deco
rations of your home. v
Mest women appreciate the impor
tance of buying good draperies, but
they overlaok the fact that the cur
tain rod may either mar or enhance
the effect desired. A cheap, flimsy
rod has no place in the modern home,
and as the housewives realize this fact
more fully they turn to the Kirsch
Fiat Rod as the perfect curtain rod.
~ You want curtains to go up easily,
and you want them to stay up. You
want them to conic down easily, but
not acc’'dentally. You get all these
things in Kirsch Flat Rods.
You don’t like to see a rod all turned
black and tarnished. Your rods will
'stay new if vou use Kirsch Flat Rods.
\ Go tomorrow and see them fully
‘demonstraled and at the same time
'see the immense displays of curtain
\goods. draperies, floor coverings. bed
spreads, etc., at the Home Art Supply
Company's big four-story building.
