mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Frey; three
sisters, Mrs. Arthur Moore, of Way
cross, Mrs. Mayo Gantt, of Nelson,\

Marvin Frey, of Marietta, besides a
number of other relatives who mourn
the cutting off in his prime of this
promising young man.
Moultrie Frey joined the Methodist
Church in Marietta when but a small
boy, and has ever been a devoted
Church member, and a consistent
Christian. He had a sunny, affec
tionate nature, and numbered his
friends by his acquaintances.
About a year ago he moved his
little family to Montezuma, where he
had a good position with the Stan
dard Oil Company. There he took
a prominent part in Sunday School
work, as he always had here; and was
highly thought of in the town.
The sympathy of all goes out to the
bereaved family especialy to the
young wife and little children.

THE IMPETUOUS YANKS
The advance was rapid, amazingly
sO. Meeting that lon-prepared offen
sive, our divisions broke through,
passed all objectives, and dashed on.
A national vigor, which has lain fal
low ever since sunset at Gettysburg,
flowered afresh in that tempestuous
dawn at Chateau-Thierry. Prodigal
youth flung the savings of fifty years
into the shouts which ran from rank
to rank—‘‘Come on!” ‘“We’ll beat
you to it!” They dropped their packs
they outdistanced their artillery and
supply trains, they caused their dress
ing stations to move up by leaps and
bounds. In fact, they outstripped ev
erything, including their commanders’
calculations.—From “Chasing a Vic
torious Army,” by Melville Chater, in
the January Red Cross Magazine.
GOVERNMENT REPORT ON
THE COTTON SITUATION
{Continued from page one)
The crops of Alabama, Arkansas,
Florida, Missouri, North Carolina,
Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia were
smaller in 1917 than in 1916; but
Arizona, California, Georgia, Louisi
ana, Mississippi, and South Carolina
showed increases. |
Consumption and Exports
During the year ended July 31,
1918, the mills of the United States
consumed 6,566,489 running bales of
cotton. This consumption comprised
6,296,756 bales of domestic upland
cotton, 85, 939 bales of sea-island
cotton, and 183,794 bales of foreign
cotton. In addition, 1,118,840 bales
of linters were consumed. The stocks
held in the country on July 31, 1918,
aggregated 3,450,188 bales of lint
cotton and’ 439,917 bales of linters.
The exports during the fiscal year
ended June 30, 1918, 4,641,023 equiv
alent 500-pound bales, were less than
for any preceding year since 1893,
and fell below those of 1917 (6,176,-
162 bales) by nearly 25 per cent. The
greatest amount of cotton exported
during any fiscal year in the history
of the industry is shown for 1912—
11,070,251 bales. For the following
vear the exports fell to 9,124,591
bales, and during the fiscal year 1914,
which ended just prior to the outbreak
of the European war, 9,521,881 bales
were exported. Since that year the
exports have declined, although 1917
showed a slight increase as compared
with 1916. Less than half as much
cotton was exported in the fiscal year
1918 as in the fiscal year 1914.
The items which make up the 1918
totals are: Exports to the United
Kingdom, 2,387,101 bales; to France,
658,553; to Italy, 369,213; to Spain,
259,194; to Russia, 15,945; to Hol
land, 10,098 ; to other European coun
tries, 82,572; to Japan, 583,546; to
Canada, 249,973; to Mexico, 10,706;
and to all other countries, 14,122.
The exports to Belgium, Germany,
and Austria-Hungary dropped to very
small amounts during the fiscal year
1915 (the first month of which, July,
1914, preceded the outbreak of the
war) and since that year no exports
whatever to those countries have been
made. The only countries the ex
ports to which during the fiscal year
1918 exceeded those during the pre
ceding year were Japan, Canada, and
Mexico.
Cotton Manufacture
Massachusetts still retains its su
premecy in cotton manufacturing, the
consumption by its mills during the
year ended July 31, 1918, being
1,493,113 bales, including linters.
Next in order were North Carolina,
with 1,186,314 bales; South Carolina,
with 892,532; and Georgia, with 880,-
395. The mill consumption in these
four states alone represents nearly
trhee-fifths of the total for the coun
try. Since 1912 the annual consump
tion of cotton in the cotton-growing
states has amounted to more than half’
the total for the United States, the
proportion for 1918 being 57 per
cent. |

that it acts like magic, by far more
effective and certain than the old
styvle calomel, heretofore recommend

One Calotab on the tongue at bed
time with a swallow of water,—that’s
all. No salts, no nausea ncr the
slightest interference with eating,
work or pleasures. Next morning
your cold has vanished and your

NEVER TOO OLD TO ADVERTISE
There are now appearing in the
newspapers and magazines a series of
illustrated advertisements put out
by a well-known mercantile house
that was established in 1723. They
deal with phases of the company’s
business which are not generally
known to the purchasing public show
ing the method of collecting the raw
material, the adventarous life of its
agents, episodes in remote lands, etc.,
all of which are interesting because
they possess the charm of novelty.
Reference is made to the matter
here not because such advertising is
new ,which, of course, it is not, but
because this long-established institu
tion, lacking only five years of being
two centuries old, feels that it is
well worth while to keep its name con
stantly before the publis. New com
petitors are constantly rising, and
only by meeting changed conditions
in the spirit of the day can the old
timer hold his own.
This is a point which should not
be lost up(g any line of business.
Age carries with it no great privilege
in trade, but must hustle to keep the
place it has won. Advertising, well
managed, is a prodigious help in this
direction. If this famous old house,
dating from 1723, before Washington
was born, finds printers’ ink essential
to its prosperity, how much more im
portant must such an aid be to the
individual, firm or corporation that is
in the first flush of youth!-—Publish

be required to have any other work
done on these trunk roads than the
necessary grading before they were
built. This would provide us with a
sufficient convict force to keep our
second class roads leading up to the
trunk roads in good condition. The
bonds should run for mnot less
than thirty years, so that the coming
generation could pay a part on the
improvements they would enjoy.
I should roughly estimate the total
mileage of these trunk roads at nine
ty to one hundred miles, and this at
ten thousand dollars per mile, would
have to issue bonds. Well, let’'s say
we would issue one million dollars of
bonds and float them at five per cent,
this would make fifty thousand dol-

Office of Clerk of Superior Court of Said
County.
I, J. E. Dobbs, Clerk Superior Court, Cobb
County, Georgia, do hereby certify that the
above and foregoing is a true, correct and
THE MARIETTA JOURNAL
lars which we would have to pay an
nually as interest on the bonds. Our
taxable property in Cobb County for
the year 1918, was about ten million
dollars, so you see even if our prop
erty tax values never increase at all
we would have to levy a tax of only
five dollars on the thousand of tax
able property in order to pay the in
terest on our bonds. Now, take the
average farmer who owns a five
thousand dellar farm, don’t you think
he would be willing to pay this small
amount of twenty-five dollars in order
to get a highway he could use any day
in the year without getting mud on
his wagon and besides be enabled to
pull two tons of freight to town
where he is now able to pull only one?
But no one would have the nerve to
come out and say that with all these
good hard roads that our taxable
values would always remain the same
as last year. My guess is that in
ten years our taxable values in Cobb
would be twenty million dollars, and
then we would only have to levy a
tax of about two and one-half dollars
on the thousand to meet the interest
on these bonds. Don’t you think this
argument is reasonable? If so, you
ought to agree that the bond issue
is the right thing.
I want tc guess at another thing,
and that is that the property owners
in our cities and towns will meet the
farmers half way on a bond issue to
secure good roads in our county; and
it does seem to me that if they show
this spirit in the matter, our farmers
ought to take hold ot it without delay.
If we can get a bond issue tnere
is a good chance to get State and
Federal aid, at least in the building
of some of our roads in this county.
Now, these are just merely a few
points roughly suggested, and I know
that they are subject to ecriticism,
but if we are ever going to have
any permanent roads, we must have!
some plans to begin with, and in order
to get a plan we must discuss the
ideas of all. |
My opinion is that the great in
crease in taxable values of the coun
ty’s property which would undoubt
edly be brought about by these road
improvements would more than pay
the interest on the bonds. If we had
these roads now, you would see peo
ple rolling into this county by the
hundreds, wanting farms and homes,
and they wouldn’t mind paying for
them ®either.
Now if anyone has a better plan
than this, let us hear from them, and
if it looks better than mine, we will
accept it as a substitute. I am not
jealous about the plan, but I am very
much interested in getting a road that
we can travel over in winter as well
as any other time.
Yours very truly,
