Vol. 53. No. 37.
Will Meet In Court House Friday
Evening Fir Business And
Further Enrollment
John W. Bale, of Rome, who is ad
jutant general of the Georgia divi
sion_ the Sons of Confederate Vet
erans, was in town on Monday, and
assisted by Major John T. Dorsey, who
is brigade commander of the same,
reorganized Kennesaw Chapter No.
700 in Marietta.
The following names were enrolled
on Monday, John T. Dorsey, Virgil
McCleskey, J. M. Austin, G. B. Gann,
Lawson Fields, C. M. Dobbs, Dr. W.
M. Kemp, Rev. J. M. Crowe, J. E.
Massey_ A. D. Little, G. A. Griffin,
W. E. Swanson, R. A. Hill, J. J. Black,
Dr. W. H. Perkerson, Lindley W.
Camp, Herbert Clay, R. L. Squires,
Joe Abbott, Wm. .Tate Holland and
J. H. Groves.
All these were secured on Mon
day while Col. Bale was in the city.
Other names are being taken and a
meeting has been called for Friday
evening at the council chamber for
receiving further names and transact
ing other business. s
All sens and grandsons of Con-|
federate veterans 16 years of age or
over are eligible to membership andj
are invited to join. Ae re-union of‘
the Sons of Veterans will be held in‘
Atlanta during the Confederate Re
union in October and it is desired that
-Cobb county should hake a good show
ing.
The railroads have extended very
low rates for the occasion and not
only the old veterans, but also mem
bers of the Sons of Veterans and their
families wil be accorded this reduc
tion of fares. The round trip on the
railroad from Marietta will only be
42 cents. Major John Dorsey has
blanks which you must sign to get
this rate.
It is probable that this organization
will be able to be of much assistance
to the old veterans during the reunion,
and at this time it should be the
thought of everyone to do a service or
& kindness to the old Confeds.
PAID TO JUDGE MORRIS
; i (‘
The last grand jury paid Judge N.
A. Morris a deserved compliment in
their presentments in the following
paragraph: . |
“Before taking léave of his Honor,
Judge N. A. Morris, we desire to thank
him, not only for his clear-cut, fair
and able charge, but for his courtesy
to this body as well. We also appre
ciate his efforts to so try to conduct
the trial of all cases that every liti
gant will obtain a fair and impartial
trial, which results that the cases are
seldom tried but once, thus saving the
expense and time to litigants as well
as to the taxpayers.” |
During Judge Morris’ present term |
he has been reversed in only two crim-‘
inal cases. In one of these the verdict
of the jury was declared to be con—{
trary to the evidence, and in the otherJ
¢ase the court record was changed in
transcribing the brief, so that in neith
er case was the error one chargeable
to the trial judge.
This is indeed an enviable record,
and one meriting the words of com
mendation from the grand jury. The
county and state have both saved
money by the quality of justice meted
out in Judge Morris’ court.
SACRED HARP MEETING IN
ATLANTA FRIDAY TO SUNDAY
The fifteenth annual convention of
the United Sacred Harp Music asso
ciation will be opened in Atlanta Fri
day morning at 9 o’clock and will re

many as 1,500 singers, and that some
of the best voices in the state will be

hand from several southern states.
The public is invited to attend the
singing convention, which will be con
tinuous from Friday to Sunday except

COUNTY RECEIVES DELAYED
FUNDS FROM THE STATE
Clerk Miller received a check on
Thursday from the State Treasurer
for the county’s share of the Motor
Vehicle License fund, which was col
lected in the spring of the year, but
whs used temporarily by the governor
to pay pensions and other pressing ob
ligations of the state at that time.
The county expected to use this
fund for the road pay rool during the
summer, but by its non-receipt was
obliged to make other arrangements.
The check received this week was
for $3,578.96, and although delayed,
is welcomed into the treasury of the
county. i

' The management of the Southeast
ern Fair in Atlanta, October 11-21,
will have a free boys’ school during
the fair. Two boys from each county
in.the state will be given a free trip
rax}d free board at the Southeastern
Fair while attending this school, There
‘will be teachers here to teach these
boys how to judge livestock, etc.,
throughout the entire week.
’ Governor Dorsey has mailed out
$250,000 to the counties of Georgia,
an installment of their pro rata share
of the Motor Vehicle License fund,
which had been withheld by authority
of the Georgia Legislature which al
lowed the Governor to use the money
until September 10 for other purposes
considered to be more pressing.
On October 7, Brunswick has either
got to buy or lose a railroad. The
road is a short line, extending from
Collins to Brunswick, a distance of
100 miles. It has ocean terminals at
Brunswick and Darien and is consid
ered one of the Thost important small
lines in the state. Citizens of Bruns
wick and other places on the line pro
pose to purchase the road as a going
concern. It is understood New York
junk dealers will also make bids. In
the event the junk dealers make the
highest bid, the road will be disman
tled.
Speaking in Chicago to a confer
ence of business men, James P. Orr
declared that unless the business men
of the country immediately awake
and take the position in politics to
which they are entitled and so put an
end to the dilly-dallying policy of
present politicians they will be caught
in the vortex of radicalism and unrest
sweeping the world.
How to make three stalks of corn
grow where nothing grew before,
through selling the right kind of fer
tilizer to the farmers who need it,
will be the principal course in a sales
manship school to be held in Atlanta
October 21 to 24, as announced Tues
day by the Atlanta Convention Bu
reau.
This year promises to be one of the
greatest in the history of the South
eastern Fairs, which are held each
year at Lakewood park, near Atlanta.
The dates this year are QOctober 11-21
‘and the attractions will be unusually
‘fine. The Southeastern Fair is an ed
ucational institution and is not run for
profit. = There is no one connected
with the institution that receives one
penny, either for their services or
dividends, except the office force.
During the stringent financial times
of 1915 the grocery firm of The Brow
der-Manget Company went into bank
ruptey. After the assets had all been
figured up and closed out there still
remained $20,000 in debts that could
not be settled. A few days ago an
advertisement in the Atlanta papers
announced that any person who held
any claim against the bankrupt con
cern could come to the office of John
A. Manget and get his money, and the
advertisement further stated that it
was notice to all persons who owned
the firm anything that their debts had
been canceled.
After the Atlanta Democratic Ex
ecutive Committee had passed on the
question favorably ef allowing white
women to vote in the city primary,
they made the mistake of refusing to
allow the women the right to use as
they liked their registration fees, to
which no one seems to have had a
legal claim. In the primary the com
mittee was defeated by the votes of
the women and now the committee
is said to favor denying further votes
to women, but a new committee is to
take charge this week.
Fulton county tax returns show an
increase of more than $6,700,000,
while the increase for the whole state
is registered at about $70,000,000.
As Liberty Bonds are not taxable this
would indicate a healthy increase of
wealth in the state.
The police of the city of Boston,
having joined the unions in actual
fact, as well as in sympathy it has
become necesary to call troops to pro
tect life and property in that place.
Rioting is in progress and the fruits
of mislead unionism are ripening very
rapidly.
Key West and South Florida has
been swept by a gale that devastated
Cuba a few days ago. In Key West
more than two million dollars of dam

life is yet reported there.
The Southern Railway has com
pleted its line of double tracks from
Atlanta to Washington, and the first
trains were run on the new track on
Tuesday. The work has heen under
way for several years. An eleetric
block system of signals make for the
safety of the trains, and with double
tracks, traffic over the road may be
doubled or quadrupled with safety.
Marietta, Georgia, Friday, September 12, 1919,
AROUND THE CIRCLE
AND IN THE SENATE
o tmres
As President Wilson swings
around the circle of the west on
his speech-making tour, he is us
ing plain language in his condem
nation of those senators who are
bloéking the progress of the league
of nations and permanent peace,
and in most places is receiving an
ovation which shows that the peo
ple are with him. Back in Wash
ington, the senators who oppose the
president are daily becoming more
bitter and personal in their attacks
upon him. It is plain that the po
litical cambitions of some senators
on each side of the chamber are
stronger than their desire for peace
either at home or abroad.
The summer school at Sardis end
ed on last Saturday after an interest
ing and profitable session. This is the
school of which we recently wrote,
where the attendance was double the
house capacity, and where the high
school section ‘“used a log for a seat
and went under the house when it
rained,” to quote the teacher in
charge. Such a spirit as shown here
will not be denied, and our interest in
this community was greatly increased
thereby.
We have a letter from Prof. Edgar
Turner, the late principal of the
school, who states that he will be. as
sociated for a time with the editorial
and circulation department of Will
Upshaw’s magazine, The Golden Age.
Mr. O’Quinn, whom we understand to
be in charge of the magazine since!
Mr. Upshaw’s election to congress, is
also an old friend of ours, and we
take pleasure in commending Prof.
Turner to him.
Wheat, Corn and Pig Clubs of. Cobb
County Boys Number Over
Two Hundred Members
The boys’ club fair, which was such
a big success last year will be re
peated this year and they will strive:
to outdo their former showings. En
rolled in the boys’ wheat club of
the county are 42 progressive young-.
sters, while on the corn club roll you
will find 83 and the pig club tops thel
list with 103 young stockmen of the
future. 1
October 9th, which is Thursday, has
been selected as the day for the fair
in Marietta, as this will be the day
preceeding the opening of the South
eastern Fair at Atlanta. Many of the
exhibits will be taken on to the At
lanta show, and at the close of that,
on to the State Fair at Macon. The
boys won prizes and ribbons in great
number at all these fairs last year.
County Agent McMahan, School
Superintendent Awtrey, and Chair
'man W. L. Evans, of the Fair Com
mittee, will have charge of all ar
rangements. The program and prize
list of the local fair is being printed
[and County Agent McMahan will sup
ply them upon request if you do not
’receive one this week.
The prizes to be offered the wheat
‘club members aggregate $64.00 in
money and other things of value. - The
corn club will get $56.00 in cash, while
the pig club boys will divide $116.00.
' Let everybody come out and en
courage the boys, and remember the
)date——Thursday, October 16th, in the
Park Square, in Marietta. .
MARIETTA TO LOSE
ATLANTA PACKAGE CARS
We understand that the Atlanta
Northern will ask the railroad com
mission for authority to take off the
package car service on the Atlanta-
Marietta line.
We do not know the reason for this,
but presume the cars do not pay, al
though a raise in rates was permitted
a short time ago.
Should the request be allowed Ma
rietta will lose a very great business
convenience now afforded by these
cars.
NEW AMBULANCE COMING
FOR THE BLACK COMPANY
Another progressive step for the
comfort and convenience of the peo
ple of Marietta was taken when the
Black Undertaking Company ordered
a handsime new ambulance of the
Reo car people. It will be up to date
in every detail, and everything that
could be desired for its purpose. It
will be in charge of Mr. Donnelly and
will render the peopie of Cobb coun
ty a service equal to that of any city
gervice.
D. A. R. TO MEET
WITH MRS. ROBESON
Fielding Lewis Chapter D. A. R.
will meet at 4:20 o’clock on Monday
afternoon at the home of Mrs. L. B.
Robeson. The Board will meet at
4 o'clock.
He Declares that America Will Ge
Into the League and That There
is No Other Way
Bismarck, S. D.—Sept. 10.—Presi
dent Wilson told a Bismarck audience
today that the issue involved in his
speech-making tour for the treaty was
“a question of war or peace.”
There was one only way in which
peace could be maintained, he said,
and that was by such a concert of
nations as was proposed 4n the league
of nations.
| Completing the first week of his
tour, the president spoke in the small
est hall in which he had yet spoken,
seating about 1,500, It was filled. No
other address was on Mr. Wilson's
schedule for today.
When the president’s train arrived,
a display of pyrotechnics was set off,
carrying small parachutes with Amer
ican flags high in the air. On the ride
to the hall through crowded streets
an airplane flying low turned flip flops
over the presidential party. -~
Mr. and Mrs. Wilson were cheered
as they entered the auditorium. He
was introduced by Governor Lynn J.
Frazier. .
Should the movement for world
concert fail, the president said, the
heart of mankind would be over
whelmed by a “despair” which would
result in chaos.
“Men in despair don’t constitute
governments, If we stay out or if we
qualify our acceptance in any way,
then the world will say: ‘There can be
no peace.’”’ "
If the world were in disorder, ask
ed the president, who would buy the
wheat of the United Stdtes? All the
processes of international economic
rehabilitation, he said, waited on a
complete basis, because the world was
waiting, he continued; the great coal
fields of Europe were not being work
ed to capacity and the whole industry
of the world was “chilled.” ¢
“While we debate,” he went on, ‘“all
the world is raging today, Why does
America hesitate?”
The president declared there was
no more danger of America staying
out of the league eventually than of
reversing all the other processes of
her history. But it was the delay, he
added, that was upsetting affairs
everywhere,
~ Referring to proposals to separate
the peace terms from the league cove
‘nant, Mr. Wilson said the covenant
had been put first in the treaty be
‘cause without it the rest of the treaty
will be worthless. That conclusion
was reached unanimously at Paris,
asserted Mr. Wilson, because the
peace conference realized that having
set up a peace settlement, there must
be some way to enforce it.
Replying to objections to article 10
of the covenant, Mr. Wilson reiterat
ed that the article had no binding
force without the assent of the Unit
ed States, under the unanimous vote
required for action.
“Unless it's our war,” he continued,
“we can’t be dragged into a war with
out our consent. That’s an open and
shut proposition; it's the heart of the
treaty. You have either got to take it
or you have got to throw the world
back into that old contest over land
titles.
“There is no other way to quiet the
world, and if the world isn’t quieted,
then America sooner or later will be
drawn into the melee.”
The president asked whether any
one thought the United States could
stay out of the league without being
“hated’”’ and intrigued against by the
other nations. Should the American
nation refuse to accept the treaty, he
asserted, it would be in the position of
repudiating its promises to those who
fought the war and of saying it did
pot like what had ben accomplished
by its armed forces. The peoples of
Europe, said the president, “are in a
revolutionary state of mind,”. and in
danger of “substituting one kind of
autocracy for another.”
MILLION MEMBERS SOUGHT |
BY COTTON ASSOCIATION
New Orleans, Sept. 10.—J. 5
Wannamaker, president of the Amer
ican Cotton Association, announced
today that his organization has de
cided in executive session to begin
immediately a campaign for 1,000,-
000 members in the South. The sug
gestion of United States Senator
Ransdell, of Louisiana that the asso
ciation establish headquarters in
Washington was adopted ,said Mr.
Wannamaker. In line with the sen
ator’s suggestion, Mr. Wannamaker
said the association decided to erect
a building in the national capital and
to establish permanaent headpuarters
there.
MR. GILBERT BUYS b
BUTLER HOME
Mr. E. A. Gilbert has bought the
vary attractive bungalow of Mr. D.
P. Butler on Forrest Avenue, but will
not have possession until January.
Mr. Butler will build a handseme
home on the pretty lot between his
present home-sad Mz, J. M. Fowler’s.
SOME PUMPKIN, OR WAS
IT JUST SOME SQUASH?
In the window of Sams Drug Co.
on Thursdsy was exhibited a fine
specimen of vegetable growth from
some Cobb County farm. It was
a huge pumpkin-shaped and pump
kin-colored melon said to be a
squash. No one we could find could
say who brought it in, and there
was considerable discussion as to
just whether it was a squash or a
pumpkin. The rind was tender
like a squash, but it had every oth- |
er evidence of belonging to the
pumpkin family. It measured 52
inches in circumference and weigh
ed 52 pounds—big enough to make
pies for the whole town—or—any
way it’s some pumpkin,
e e
All dranches in the county are re
quested to call the members together
to form plans for the Roll Call Drive.
All branches are requested to col
lect all Red Cress work in their pos
session, and to send in all finished ar
ticles to Mrs. Graham, Director of
Woman’s Work, Marietta.
The officers for the coming Red
Cross year will be elected at the
October Board Meeting.
All branches should hold their elec
tions before that time, as the repre
sentatives of the branches will be the
electors of the County Officers.
Just after the signing of the armis
tice many of our chapters showed an
unfortunate but perhaps entirely na
tural tendency to lay aside their Red
Cross work as a thing which ended
automatically with the ending of hos
tilities. To their minds the Red Cross
wss a war organiation, brought into
existence by war conditions, and the
coming of peace left nothing more tor
be done. g
" That attitude, however, is a thing of
the past. The chapters have seen that
there is work still to be done, that the
Red Cross existed long before the
invasion of Belgium, and that it will
exist as long as there is humm!tv}fi
the world. All over the division 4§*¢
is a reaction in favor of the perma
nent work, which the Chapter officers
and members are determined to make
a success in their communities., Ly
War risk’ insurance policies which
have been cancelled or permitted to
lapse through non-payment may be re
instated by observing the following
conditions: ’
The reinstatement must be within
eighteen months after the month
when the policyholder was discharged.
The insurance policy itself must not
have lapsed for a period longer than
one year. g :
The policyholder must present with
his application for reinhstatemeént the
certificate of a physician that his
physical condition is as good as when
his discharge was granted,
This is a new ruling which will en
able many past holders of these poli
cies to obtain immediate reinstate
ment. It also is important in connec
tion with the ruling, recently made
public, that policies held under the
War Risk Insurance Bureau are con
vertible into the old-line life, tontine,
or endowment policies. The combina
tion of these rulings doubtless will re
sult in the reinstatement of many pol
icies that have been permitted to
lapse.
In announcing the date of the Third
Red Cross Roll Call which will take
place during the week begining Ne
vember 3rd and ending on Armistice
Day, November 11th, Dr. Livingston
Farrand, Chairman of the Executive
Committe of the American Red Cross,
nas optlined the plans and purposes
of the organization in it spermanent
work as follows:
“It is believed that the end of our
foreign obligations is in sight and,
accordingly, the Red Cross is turn
ing its chief attention and energy to
the development of a clearly defined
home program, which already includes
systematic preparation for Disaster
Relief, a wide-spread Nursing Plan,
continuing home service operations,i
First-Aid instruction and a Junior
Red Cross program, all of which will‘
depend for their success upon a large‘
and vigorous Chapter. For ‘these
reasons, the enrollment of menibers
is the chief purpose of the Novem
ber campaign. It is the primary am
bition of the American Red Cross to
be of service to Americans.
“The first tast of the American Red
Cross is, of course, to complete its
obligations to American soldiers and
sailors. The organization plans, as
its future policy, to concentrate it:
efforts upon peace programs at home.
unless American should again be in
volved in war or confronted by great
disasters creating special emergen
cies.
“The Red Cross programs are pri
marily within the field of public
health and will aim particularly at
co-operation with official activities
Federal, state and local. The Red
Cross will seek not to duplicate the

The Retail Grovers and Butchm‘%
