THE MARIETTA JOURNAL
Southern Granted Right to Take Off
Service on Road Chamblee
To Roswell
The Roswell railroad, connecting
Chamblee, on the main line of the
Southern, with Roswell, Ga., has dis
continued operation no trains being
run Tuesday. The Southern railroad
up until several years ago -was in
possession of a charter giving it ope
rating rights on the railroad, and con
tinued to operate the short line, at
a substantial loss. Trains continued
to run during government control,
but net losses were sustained each
month, and just before the roads re
turned to their owners on March 1,
H. W. Miller, vice-president of the
Southern, went before the railroad
commission with a statemexnt to the
effect that his line was unwilling to
stand the losses of this piece of pro
perty any longer, and applying for
the right %o discontinue operation,
which authority was granted.
~ Incregsed cost of operation, and
droping off in revenue, due to con
struction of good automobile and
itruck roads were given as the causes
of the railroad’s failure to pay ex
penses.
’ Marietta now has even greater
icause to regret that she has not a
permanent good road to Roswell, for
the truck service will naturally go
over the better road to Atlanta even
though it is much further from Ros
well.
l Milton county trade also would
come to Marietta over a good road to
Roswell, and this should have the
earnest attention of our road com
missioners if they have at heart the
building and holding of business in
our county.
MR. O. Q. NORTON
Funeral services for Mr. 0. Q.
Norton were conducted Wednesday
morning at the First Baptist Church,
at 10 o’clock, the Rev. I. A. White
officiating, assisted by Rev. W. T.
Hamby.
~ The pall-bearers were Messrs. John
R. Fowler, Gus Benson, Charles T.
‘Ward, George H. Sessions, Milton Me-
Clain and Hiram Wade.
. Those in the choir were Mrs. H.
C. Dobbs, Mrs. I. A. White, Mr.
Kemp and Mr. Hawkins.
Interment was in the City Ceme
tery.
Mr. Norton had been ill for seve
ral weeks, and his death was not un
expected.
The deceased, who was one of Ma
rietta’s most prominent citizens, was
born in Fulton county, sfixty-four
years ago.
When quite a young man, his fam
ily, removed to Alabama. Here he
married, and of the three <children
born to him, only one, Mr. Marvin
Norton of Marietta, survives him.
After his wife’s death, he moved to
Cobb county and lived here until his
death. He was“engaged in farming,
and was also associated with his son
in the hardware business.
Mr. Norton was a deacon in the
First Baptist Church, and was one
of its most faithful members.
Twelve years ago he was married
to Miss Moore, of Marietta, and she
also survives him, i
QUICK CAPTURE OF
TWO CAR ROBBRBERS
On Wednesday evening Dr. Leslie
Blair missed his car which he had left
standing in front of his office, but at
first though a friend had borrowed it.
After an hour he became uneasy
and started a search for it. Mr. Al
bert Dobbins coming in from Ac
worth reported seeing it being driven
by two soldiers going north on the
Dixie Highway and a phone message
"W"Rome resulted in the capture of
the two robbers on their arrival at
that city about midnight.
- The men proved to be ex-soldiers
who were attempting to get back
north with the car. They were
brought back to Cobb county jail on
Thursday evening, where they will
face Judge Blair in the coming term
of the Blue Ridge Circuit Court. -
Car stealing is getting to be such
a common practce and the robbers so
often escape that there should be no
little sympathy for them when they
are caught.

THE KENNESAW RANGERS
By LAWSON FIELDS
When the Mexican War broke out
in 1846, the new county of Cobb—
only 14 years old at the time—
promptly raised a company of volun
ters, including eleven officers and
eighty-three privates, and proceeded
to the border with General Zachary
Taylor to show the Greasers where
to get off.
The organization was known as the
Kennesaw Rangers, and it did yeo
man service all throegh the two years
the war was in progress, finally help
ing raise the Stars and Stripes over
the capitol building in the City of
Mexico in September of 1847.
This same operation may have to
be repeated one of these days, and
when it is, it wouldn’t be surprising
if the descendants. of these dead-and
gone veterans of the Mexican War
are not among those who shall unfurl
and hoist old Glory in the same spot,
duplicating what their granddads did
73 years ago.
Who were these old fellows—
yvoung fellows then—who laid aside
the yardstick and the plow and volun
teered their services in putting down
the haughty Santa Anna and his
chesty cohorts, and gave Uncle Sam
the states of New Mexico and Cali=
fornia? ‘
How many returned to tell the
tale; how many left their bones in
Mexic soil? The writer can answer
neither question, but he does know
the names of the brave and daring
fellows who went, and the list is here
by attached, taken from White’s His
torical Collections, that you may put
your finger on your particular an
cestor who had the grit and intrepidi
ty to help wallop the stuffing out of
Mexico’s then magnificant army.

NE OF
Its Founders Associated With Early
History of Settlement of
This Section
From the pen of one entirely fa
miliar with the history of Roswell and
its people, we have the following his
tory of the Roswell Mills which will
be of interest to all patriotic citizens
A short sketch of the above Mills
of Cobb county.
may be of interest to all true Geor
gians who have watched the develop
ment of their State, as this Factory
has been in existence eighty years,
and can rightly be termed ‘“one of
the pioneer cotton mills of Georgia.”
It was recently sold to the Easley
Cotton Mills, of Greenville, 8. C., for
a sum exceeding $BOO,OOO.
In the latter part of the ‘“thirties,”
Mr. Roswell King, of Darien, Ga.,
(at that time an important seaport
of the state), passing through the
coumtry on his way to Dahlonega,
Ga., having been sent in the interest
of the Bank of Darien, to investigate
the gold mining industry of that seec
tion, discovered this beautiful part of
the state, still the home of the Chero
kee Indian.
He was so impressed with its
healthful situation, and fine water
facilities that he persuaded his son,
Mr. Barrington King, a wealthy
planter of Darien, Ga., to accompany
him upon another trip for further in
vestigation.
Mr. Barrington King was equally
pleased with the climate and situ
ation, and together they bought a
large tract land, naming it “Roswell,”
in honor of the elder Mr. King.
It was not long before these two
gentlement persuaded a number of
friends to accompany them to the
“up country,” and to “make assur
ance doubly sure,” they presented to
these friends large building sites,
severa] acres in extent.
- This colony numbered thirteen
families, all from Darien, Ga.,
Among the Maj. James S. Bulloch,
irand-father of the late Theodore
Roosevelt.
* Almost the first building erected,
was a beautiful little Presbyterian
church, and the Rev. N. A. Pratt in
stalled as its pastor.
Mr. Barrington King organized a
fimpany,- and in 1840 the Roswell
ills were built, he becoming the
President, and continued as such un
til they were destroyed by Sherman’s
Army in 1863.
Mr. Barrington King was a man of
wonderful business ability. Of the
strictest integrity himself. he exacted
the best from his “hands,” and in re
turn he made their welfare his ear
nest concern; protecting, advising,
and controlling his people;-a Chris
tian gentleman of the “old school,”
using his power for the good of all,
by methods found so e}i‘ective at the
present time. ;
His son Mr. James Roswell King
also built a large Woolen Mill on the
banks of the Chattahoochee.
Here, during the “war between the
states,” was manufactured the gray
cloth used in making the Confederate
uniforms. This factery was burned
at the sagme time, by the Federals.
* Mr. Barrington King and his son,
Mr. James Roswell King, being men
of indomitable will and courage, re
built the Roswell Mills as soon as the
War was over in 1865.
‘Mr. Barrington King again became
its president, until his death, only a
short time after its erection. Soon
after Mr. James Roswell King had
assisted his father in rebuilding the
Roswell Cotton Mills he moved with
his family to Paterson, N. J., where
he engaged in the manufacture of
cotton goods. |
This move proved a great success,
establishing his family in Brooklyn,
N. Y., he continued his manufactur
ing interest at Paterson, N. J., for
several years, until the climate prov
ing too severe, he was forced to re
linquish it, and return to his home at
Roswell, Ga.
He built other cotton mills at
various points; the last being in At
lanta, Ga., the Elsas, May & Co. fac
tory, operating it for a number of
years.
Both Mr. Barrington King and his
son Mr. James Roswell King were in
deed the pioneer cotton manufactur
ers of the state of Georgia.
Mr. George H. Camp ,late of Ma
rietta, Ga. was for many years a re
sident of Roswell and was engaged
in business as Agent for the Roswell
Mills; a valuable assjstant to Mr.
King. He was made President of the
factory, after Mr. Barrington’s death.
He was succeeded by Gen. A. J.
Hansell, followed by Col. J. W. Ro
bertson, then Mr. F. R. Minhinnett.
The assertion that Mr. Clark Howell,
Sr., “had charge of and operated the
Mills,” was a mistake. .
I cannot close this little sketch of
the Roswell Mills, without paying a
fitting tribute to its last and wonder
fully successful President, Mr. S. Y.
Stribling, who's fine business acumen,
and sterling uprightness of character,
has placed these Mills in the foremost
ranks; and who has always endeavor
ed to further the interests of the
stockholders to the highest degree.
WHY IS THIS?
NEW YORK, Feb. 28.—Feder
al prohibition has come to stay.
That, in brief, is the belief of
Bird S. Coler, commissioner of
public charities of New York.
The working men’s Jodging
house, wherein years past this
time of year has brought a long
line of applicants for a bed and
a few day’s rest from over-in
dulgence in alcoholic spirits, is
about to board up its doors. Al
cohelic wards in city hospitals
are silent for the want of pa
tients. '
‘“Prohibition is accomplishing
more good results than the ex
treme advocates have ever claim
ed,” said Mr. Coler. “I feel posi
tive that no majority of our citi
zenship of excellent men and wo
men will go back to the old con
ditions, despite my belief that pro
hibition was brought about in an
un-American and an undemocratic
way, apd that the people should
have an opportunity of express
ing their convictions.”
Yet some people are still hoping
for the return of the greatest evil
mankind ever faced.
Mr. Mack Pair, With Mr. Lint Ste
phens as His Deputy Announce
| For Sheriff This Week
T political news of the week in
Cobb county is centered around the
anouncement of Mr. Mack Pair for
the office of sheriff with Mr. Lint
Stephens as his running mate.
~ Mr. Pair is a man of the highest
character, a successful farmer and
business man, and is spoken of in
the highest terms by the wide circle
of his acquaintances.
~ He is 49 years of age, was born
in Coxes District of Cobb county, and
now lives on the Jonesville road near
Marietta. |
He has never before asked for of
fice of any sort, and in making this
anouncement states that he wil live
up to the pledges he makes to the
people, and it is not questioned that
he will do this absolutely.
. Associated with him will be Mr.
Lint Stephens, who like Mr. Pair, is
a farmer of the best reputation and
has never before sought office. |
Mr. Stephens was born in Gritter
District of Cobb county and now lives
on the Dallas road west of Marietta
Both gentlemen have scores of
friends all over the county, who claim
that they will have an easy victory
of the present incumbent who has
held the office for eight years and
should be satisfied with that.
PENSION CHECKS FOR
COBB CCUNTY READY
Judge J. M. Gann asks us to an
nounce that the pension checks are
now ready for the Confederate Vete
rangs of Cobb county.
He wishes us to make it clear that
the present fund only goes to those
who were pensioners under the old
law and that all those who come un
der the law passed last summer must
wait until after the next legislature
meets to provide an appropriation to
cover the pensions due new pension
ers.
When the legislature passed the
new law they followed their usual
custom of passing laws without the
necessary appropriation to carry
them out. No doubt however the
coming July session will get around
to this.

Simp Jackson runs amuck twice
‘n less than a week, after the order
passed by Judge Morris revoking the
two probation sentences that he had
passerd and ordering that Jacksen be
arested and put in the chain-gang
for two years, was set aside in Cobb
Superior Court on February 21st.
These orders were set aside, and Jack
son was discharged, on the ground
that he was not brought before
Judge Morris before he revoked the
probation esntences. On the follow
ing Monday night ,Mr. W. P. Mozely,
who lives at the old Richardson place
on the Atlanta Roard between Ma
rietta and Smyrna, heard some one
on his veranda; he went to the door
and it was Simp Jackson. Jackson
told Mr. Mozely that he was in
trouble; that his car was in the diteh
in front of Mr. Mozely’s house, and
that he wanted help. Mr. Mozely
stepped into the house to get a lamp.
When he came back on the veranda
he discovered that Simp was “glori
oulsy” drunk, staggering and falling
about his veranda. When he saw the
condition Jackson was in, Mr. Mozely
told him he would have nothing fur
ther to do with him, and started in
the house. Jackson asked him to
say nothing about. In a short time
a car came along going towards Ma
rietta, and was stopped. This ecar
then proceeded towards Marietta,
and in a short time, two cars came
from the direction of Marietta, and
stopped at the Jackson car. It was
dark, but Mr. Mozely and his family
could see that something was being
It:rans.i'erx‘ul from {ac Jackson car in
to one of these cars. As soon as the
change was made, all of the cars left.
The next morning a large broken
glass jug was found by Mr. Mozely
where the Jackson car was stopped.
The next day, this fact was report
ed to Sheriff Swanson. He said he
would investigate it. .
On the following Wednesday night,
Simp Jackson was arrested in a cel
‘lar at No. 2 Auburn Avenue in At
lanta, with a woman and two or three
other men, with a large quantity of
whiskey. These parties were all car
ried to the police station, and fines
were imposed upon them the next
day. Thursday’s Atlanta Constitu
tion and Atlanta Journal both pub
lished articles to this effect. Jackson,
however, is still at large.
When Judge Morris imposed the
two chain-gang sentences of twelve
months each on Jackson on June 14,
1919, and then put him on probation
on the condition, among other things,
that he should not leave the jurisdic
tion of the court without permission
of the court; should refrain from in
any manner viclating the prohibition
laws of the State of Georgia; should
not drink anything intoxicating; and
should not violate any of the laws of
the State of Georgia or of the United
States, Sheriff W. E. _Swanson
agreed to be probation officer for
Jackson, and was appointed as such
by the court. He signed the follow
ing obligtion, which is of record and
now on file in the Clerk’s office of
Cobb Superior Court, to-wit:
GEORGIA, COBB COUNTY:
I hereby agree to be a volunteer
probation officer for J. S. Jackson
whose sentence has this day been
moulded by the Superior Court of
said county, I agree to comply with
all the conditions prescribec! for such
Prcbation Officer as are rejuired un
der the Acts of the Gennral Assem
bly of Georgia of 1913, pages 112
and 113.
I also agree to see that said de
fendant complier with all the fore
going provisions of the order of pro
bation prescribed 1y the Court, and
also agree that in the event said de
fendant fails to comply therewith, or
meet any of the requrements thereof,
that I will immediately, without war
rant, arrest the probationer and
bring him before the Court to be
dealt with as the Court may direct.
This the 14th day of June, 1919.
W. E. Swanson.
‘What is the matter, Mr. Sheriff,
that you don’t arrest this notorious
law violator and bring him beforc
the court, as.you solemn obligation
binds you to do? Why haven’t you
done it before now? Why didn’t you
hold him when he was discharged on
the ground that he was not brought
before Judge Morris before his pro
bation sentence was revioked, and
then immediately bring him again be
fore the court for violating the pro
bation sentences, by having liquor
in his posession, and for leaving ‘the
jurisdiction of the court? He was
arrested beyond the jurisdiction of
the court. You were certainly aware
of that fact.
