FRIDAY, MAY 2, 1919
Memorial Day was fittingly observ
ed on Friday, under the auspices of
the Memorial Association and the
Kennesaw Chapter of the U. D. C.
It was a bitter disappointment not to
have the school children in the line,
but this year as it was not on the
26th, the powers that be thought best
not to give a holiday.
Quite a number of automobiles fil
led with the noble men who wore the
grey, members of the association, the
Boy Scouts marching, and Daughters
of the Confederacy and citizens,
wended their way to the cemetery,
and strewed flowers over the graves of
the heroes who sleep there. ‘“Under
the sod and the dew, awaiting the
Judgement Day.”
Conspicuous in the line of march
were two bright girls, one carrying
the Stars and Bars, the other the
Stars and Stripes.
It has been more than fifty years
since Lee surrendered and none can
tell what the next fifty years may
bring.
“But when all have gone who wore
the grey :
Let us hope sweet little children with
their flowers
Will meet to greet Memorial Day
And never—no never forget the
grand old men who wore the grey.”
At the court house a goodly number
had- gathered to hear the address of
Hon. Hugh Cobb, of Atlanta. Mrs.
McEachern and Mrs. Tom Read had
decorated the room with flowers and
Confederate flags. ‘‘America” was
sung, Dr. White leading, then prayer
by Dr. Hamby.
Prof. Lynes, in a few eloquent
words, introduced the speaker. His
address was grand. Many thought it
the best ever delivered here on Me
morial Day. He certainly upheld the
oratorical reputation of his illustri
ous family.
The prize for the best essay from
the schools, given by Kennesaw chap
ter, was awarded to Miss Helen Faw,
“and Mrs. John Graham, in her own
sweet way, presented the beautiful
badge, together fith a membership in
the chapter.
“Cover them over with beautiful
flowers” was sung sweetly by a quar
tette composed of Messrs. Moore and
Hawkins, and Mrs. Glenn Giles and
Mrs. John Warren.
While all our states rejoice, as they
well and truly should,
Memories yet should linger and well
be understood.
To not forget the old “Confed” who
proudly wore the gray,
And who would not, for all the world
have a word to say
Against the honors paid the boys who
now are coming home, :
But they would ask in love and right
to not be left alone
Or be forgot, because that they
On coming home had no display
Save in the tears that sprinkled roads
From weeping eyes with sorrow loads.

Bad Breath
Puts Stomach in Fne Condition. Lax
carin Tablets Get at the Cause
and Remove Bad Breath
Laxcarin tablets for which there
is no substitute of any worthy con
sideration, acts gently on the bowels
and positively do the work.
People afflicted with pbad breath
find quick relief through Laxcarin
tablets. The pleasant chocolate
coated tablets are taken by all who
know them not only for bad breath,
but for the cause of bad breath itself,
which is most usually caused by stom
ach disorders such as indigestion,
soury and gassy stomach, where there
is much bloating of gases, etc., ete.
Laxcarin tablets are also very good
for constipation whether it is a chron
jc case or whether it may be only
occasional. Laxcarin gently forces
the bowels to move, at the same time
compels the toxins, and other poisons
which accumulate in the bowels and
the kidneys to leave the system. Lax
carin stimulate the bowels and the
liver into natural action, clearing the
blood and gently purifying the entire
system. Laxcarin does this work
without any danger, and without any
bad effects which are usually caused
by others.
All the benefits of nasty, sickening,
gripping cathartics are derived from
Laxcarin tablets without gripping,
pain or any disagreeable effects.
Laxcarin tablets formula is not a
secret preparation, and the same
formula is being used by thousands
and thousands of physicians all over
‘the world. Only so far it has been
obtainable only by physicians' pre
scriptions. It is the prescription of
a very famous professor. ’
- Laxcarii is @ purely vegetable com
pound—you will like them after a
trial. Will never want to be without
it. tt is really a very good family
laxative.
It is best to order enough for a full
treatment at once, which is six boxes
for five dollars, as on account of the
very changing marget conditions and
on account of the many repeat orders
we are hardly able to fill the orders.
One box is only one dollar and it is
‘worth a million more to the sufferer
because it relieves and because it
works like a clock. Wwill be sent up
on receipt of remittance, postpaid.

Current Events
Since the Hanson and Hardwick
bombs have put the police to work
they have found in the New York
postoffice, nearly a score of bombs of
the same type addressed to promi
nent men in various sections of the
country and the evidence seems to be
accumulating that some members of
the I. W. W. or similar cult are re
sponsible for these latest outrages.
Nearly every day now some county
in the state votes for road bonds.
Since the Federal government has had
up its offer of 50-50, we have not seen
any report of a defeated bond issue.
It seems only to be a question of
which ones will get roads first. Seven
counties during the last few weeks
have voted bonds to the amount of
over three million dollars, while 20
others are to vote on the question in
May. And what is most striking is
the fact that in nearly every case the
vote for bonds has been almost unan
imous.
The superdreadnaught battleship
Tennessee, the largest fighting vessel
afloat, was launched at the Brooklyn
Navy Yard on Wednesday. She car
ries twelve 14-inch guns and is said
to be unsinkable—proof against tor
pedo attack. She displaces 32,300
tons. More than fifty thousand peo
ple saw the launching.
A good portion of the boardwalk
at Coney Island, with its attractions,
was burned on Wednesday. As these
features have been duplicated already
in most of the pleasure parks of the
country, it will be up to Coney to put
up something new in place of the old
catch-penny joints.
No action will be taken by Georgia
in opposition to the new raise of
phone rates by the Postmaster-Gen
eral, as decisions of the Supreme
Court are soon expected involving the
authority of the Postmaster-General
over rates of the wire lines, and it is
further believed that the government
will return them to their owners at an
early date.
An inquiry addressed to the fac
tories throughout the country devel
ops the fact that more than half of
them that employed women in place
of men during the war, will now re
fuse to discharge the women to take
back the men. It further finds that
most of the women are anxious to
hold on to the jobs. In the South,
however, the men have found many
new jobs, and up to date there is no
enforced idleness.
Since liquor has seen its day as a
revenue producer, Uncle Sam has an
extra penny tacked on to the price
of the old five and ten-cent soft
drinks, which the dealer must pay
over to him as a tax. This means six
cents for a five-cent drink, so don’t
forget your pennies when you go to
the soda stand. The dealer is charged
with the duty of collecting and ac
counting for this tax, which will give
him a bit of extra work, but it is not
thought the public will make any
kick.
Last week the Postmaster-General,
evidently staggering under a load of
criticism, called the President for
authority to return the cable lines to
their owners. Mr. Wilson promptly
assented and orders have been issued
that at midnight of Friday, May 2nd
the lines will be returned to their
owners. Similar action in regard to
the phone and telegraph lines would
have ended considerable friction that
has arisen in regard to the Postal
Telegraph lines, whose owners the
Postmaster-General fired out of their
offices some weeks-ago.
An official report from the sur
geon general, issued by the war de
partment, gives the total number of
deaths reported in the army during
the war to date as 111,179. Of this
total 56,639, or 51 per cent, were
from disease, 43 per cent in battle or
from wounds received in battle and
6 per cent from other injuries. Of
the deaths from disease about 12,000
have occurred since hostilities ceased.
The Italian delegates to the peace
conference, having walked out, are
now apparently considering ways and
means to get back to the table. It
is a safe bet that they will get back,
and the best way to do it is to come
back and admit haste and bad judg
ment in leaving.
MT. CALVARY
We are having some fine spring
days and the farmers are making
good use of them.
The little infant daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. A. A. Hendon died Friday
night, April 25. She was laid to rest
at Shilo cemetery Saturday at 11
o’clock.
Mrs. Hendon is very low. We hope
she will soon recover.
Misses Lillie Bell, Virgie and Abbie
Smith have the mumps.
Mr. and Mrs Ernest Barfield spent
Saturday night with relatives at Due
West.
Mr. and Mrs.J. L. Stephens spent
Friday night with relatives at Post
Oak.
, Messrs. Lee Alexander and Ruben
Stephens spent Saturday night with
Herman Smith.
Some of our young people attend
ed club at Wayside Saturday night
and reported a nice time.
HOW THE MONEY
IS TO BE USED
Some voters say they want to vote
for good roads, but would like to
know how the money is to used.
Others say we have already squan
dered much money in trying to build
good roads. Possibly so. Experience
is always a dear school. The child,
when learning to walk, gets many a
hard fall. Our fathers ran their corn
rows up and down the hill. They did
not know any better. They did the
best they knew, but there were thou
sands of acres of land all over this
country now worthless as a result.
We know better now but we paid a
high price to find out. So with road
building. We had to begin at the
bottom. We had no mode}. It has
proved expensive. The child that
pokes his finger in the. fire always
pays dear for the experience, but the
child is not apt to repeat the per
formance. It may be true that those
of us who seem inclined to criticise
the road authorities for an unwise
use of money would have made great
er blunders if* we had been at the
helm. But we have now emerged from
the experimental stage. We know
what it takes to constitute a good
road. We know that in this part of
the state the proper grade and the
proper drainage, with some twelve
inches of soil on top of our red clay
makes a tip-top road. This has been
tested thoroughly. And if the bond
issue in this county results favorably,
the money expended will be protected
by an expert road builder furnished
by the government. This man will
know how to build good roads. That
is the one prime condition on which
the government agrees to match dol
lar for dollar. They furnish an ex
pert who will have general super
vision—not over the money—but over
the construction of the road. The
patient who submits to the surgeon’s
knife wants to know about the skill
of the surgeon. He wants to know
that he understands his business. So
with good roads. The government
will place a man in charge of the con
struction of the roads who knows how
to build good roads. With this as
surance we can feel safe in spending
our money for good roads. With this
assurance it is wise to vote for bonds
and unwise to vote against bonds.—
Commerce News.
Everything said in the above article
applies very aptly to our own county
and people.
Every man in the county wants
goods roads and wants them now,
but they are slow in approving bonds
until they are sure the money will
be spent right. :
" An honest and efficient bond com
} mission will satisfy our people. The
government will see to it that “the
roads are “good roads.”
SWEET CLOVER
FOR POOR SOILS
“Grow sweet clover”. is the answer
for poor soil or worn-out pastures
which no longer suport live stock pro
fitably, according to investigators of
the United States Department of Ag
riculture, who have found that thous
and of acres of sweet clover are fur
nishing annually abundant pasturage
for all kinds of stock on soil where
other crops made but little growth.
In many portions of the Middle
West sweet clover bids fair to solve
serious pasturage problems, accord
ing to Farmers’ Bukletin 820, “Sweet
Clover; Utilization,’ \ just issued. Na
tive pastures which no longer provid
ed more than a scant living for a
mature steer on 4 or 5 acres, when
properly seeded to sweet, clover, will
produce sufficient forage to carry at
least one animal to the acre through
out the season. Diary cattle, horses,
sheep and hogs all do well on sweet
clover. Land which is too rough or
too depleted for cultivation, or per
manent pastures which have become
thin and weedy may be greatly im
proved by drilling in after disking a
few pounds of sweet clover seed per
acre. Not only will the sweet clover
add considerably to the quality and
quantity of the pasturage, but the
growth of the grasses will be improv
ed by the addition of large quanti
ties of humus and nitrogen to the soil.
Sweet clover has proved to be an
excellent pasturage crop on many of
the best farms in the North Central
'States. In this part of the country
it is often seeded alone and pastured
from the middle or the latter part of
June until fronst, or it may be sown
with grain and pastured after har
vest. g

THE MARIETTA JOURNAL
EX.SENATOR HARDWICK
HAS CLOSE CALL
(Continued from page one)
Tuseday afternoon, and it was at first
believed that the house had been
struck by lightning. This was the re
port given Grady Hospital when an
ambulance was called ta remove the
negro woman, Ethel Williams, to the
hospital. Both her hands were blown
entirely off and she bled profusely be
fore she could be gotten to the hos
jital. Grady physicians stated that
she was in a critical condition.
“It is an incredible crime, for which
I can offer no explanation,” stated
Senator Hardwick. “I have no idea
who the miscreant was and why he
should have sought to take my life.
It is just one of those outrages that
beggar discription, but there will be
a determined effort to bring the cul
prit to justice. Federal authorities
are already at work on the case both
in New York and Atlanta.”
They also state that it was evi
dently from the same source, that a
bomb of the same sort was mailed
from New York to Mayor Ole Hanson,
of Seattle, this week.
The mayor has been quite active
in his fight against the lawlessness of
the I. W. W. in that section and it is
believed he was marked by thgm for
destruction.
These outrages come close home to
thinking people and are the ultimate
result of wild and irresponsible lead
ers who inflame the minds of the ig
norant.
