AN APPRECIATION
A majority of the voters of Cobb
county have seen fit to re-elect me
to the office of County Treasurer. I
am deeply grateful for their supoprt
and will endeavor to discharge the
duties of the office as in the past,
serving the citizens of the County as
a while, answering to no special in
terests or factions. Where the law
leads I will follow.
Gratefully yours,
Hoyt L. Barfied.
Marieta, Ga., April 21, 1920.
CARD OF THANKS
We deeply appreciate the friend
ship shown in the votes cast for our
ticket last Tuesday and to those true
friends we wish to express our
thanks.

MARIETTA, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, APRIL 23, 1920.
TO COBB COUNTY PEOPLE
I can not express the extent of my
gratitude to the people of Cobb coun
ty for the honor conferred upon me
last Tuesday, and I can only say that
I shall strive to merit their trust and
confidence.
Hugh Moore.
NOTICE

port in my race for Treasurer, anpéj

FROM GEORGIA TECH
‘ s s
Twenty-Two Cobb County Boys At
’ Tech. Three On The Latest
‘ Honor Rol]
Thre Marieta young men have been
placed on the honor roll at Georgia
Tech in Atlanta for excellence in
scholarship. The honor roll is made
up, each spring, of 10 per cent of the
members of the respective courses,
those with the highest standing being
tchosen. This year there were 85 of
them.
The names of the Marietta honor
men and their standings follow:
Sophmore commerce: A. D. Ses
sions, 82.55; D. W. Osborne, 79.44.
Freshman commerce: J. R. Griggs,
87.317.
The faculty at Georgia School of
’Technology in Atlanta has recom
mended to the Board of Trustees that
.a Department of Mechanics and a De
;partment of Automobile Engineer
ing be organized. The first depart
ment has become necessary because
of the rapid expansion of the classes.
’The second is to meet the insistent
;demand for automobile engineers in
the South’s rapidly growing indus
’tries. :
One hundred and fifteen of Geor
gia’s 150 counties have students en
rolled this year at Georgit Tech in
Atlanta. Fulton with 298 enroll
ments, of course, leads. Chatham
county with 51 second, and the re
mainder come in the following order:
Bibb, 36; Deklab and Muscogee, 34;
Coweta, 24; Cobb, 22; Richmond, 19;
Thomas, 17; Bartow and Glynn, 16;
Sumter, 13; Elbert, Floyd and Han
cock 11; Hall, 10, and so on down
the list.
H. H. Caldwell, registrar at Geor
gia Tech, reports that all indications
point to the largest enrollment next
year that Tech has ever experienced.
Already more applications for admit
tance than usually come in by the
first of June. Reservations have been
made in a number of cases by fresh
men for rooms in the dormitories.
Tech is already overcrowded, and,
although provisions are being made
for a 50 per cent increase in enroll
ment, there is every indication thatl
many students will of necessity be
turned away next fall because of a
lack of facilities for handling morei
than 1800 or 200 students. Students
wishing to enter will do well to fine
their applications soon.

iMARIETTA HIGH AT
i DISTRICT SCHOOL MEET
| e
‘ The local school got above an ave
irage share of the honors at the Sev
enth District School meet in Rorpe
last week although few first places
came our way.
~ Miss Isabella Manning won first in
Girls’ Essay, while Clarence Jolly
won first in 220 yard dash, and the
other boys helped enough to bring
home second place in athletics, Cal
houn winning first place.
Marietta came third in literary‘
events, the first place going to Cafl
houn and second to Darlington SChOOI“
of Rome. Cedartown and first in
English and history and Dalton first
in science, Latin and mathematics.
ALL BURGLARS OPPOSE
WAR SAVINGS STAMPS
The safe cracker has a hard life
with a lot to worry him, according
to one of the fraternity recently
captured in the Southwest. This ex
ponent declared however that he felt
amply capable of coping with the or
dinary precaptions, with police detec
tives, watchmen, burglar alarms and
all the new inventions to make safes,
vaults and strong boxes invulnerable
to attack. But he complained bitter
ly of the growing habit of the public
to put its cash into government sav
ings securities and register the secur
ities. That protection, he admitted
he could not overcome.
The Treasury Savings Certificates
of $lOO and $lOOO denominations are
registerer in the name of each pur
chaser when the purchase is made.
lThey are more easily traced if lost
or stolen, than a missing freight car.
No robber can realize an them for he
must present them to the postoffice
for redemption and be identified as
their proper owner. Even if he
destroyes them or throws them away,
the real owner is protected from loss
and can have a new certificate issued
in their place by taking the proper
steps.
AFTERMATH OF THE ELECTION
We didn’t win on every ballot we
cast, but we came mighty near it.
A majority of the voters have spo
ken. Take your medicine and smile,
whether it suits you or not.
It was a bitter dose to some of the
old line politicians for Hugh Moore
to be elected County School Superin
tendent. Hugh is a live, progressive
teacher. His character is above re
proach. He will put new energy into
our schools. We predict that he will
make an excellent School Superin
tendent.
The last minute campaign cry by
some of the would-be political bosses
to defeat Hugh Moore was the claim
that Judge Morris put Moore into
the race; that he was Morris’ candi
date. Well, whoever put him in
seems to havé pleased the voters, for
they not only elected him, but they
carried twelve out of the nineteen
precinets for him.
Herbert Clay started out for Pal
mer for President; wrote a letter
which was published in one of the
daily papers in the interest of Pal
mer. Just before the primary, Hoke
sent for him, and he swapped over
to Smith and supported him. If he
had known that the county was going
for Watson, he would probably have
gone to Watson, but Herbert didn’t
know for certain, and he thereforei
can’t claim that he carried the coun
ty for Watson. }
Deputy Sheriff Tom Sanders made‘
the statement, after the election that
he was going to sell his negro pool
room. Amen, Deputy, Amen. Let
it be a genuine sale, and to a negro.
Don’t camouflage it to a white man.
To show the people that you appre
ciate your nomination, our advice
would be not to sell it at all, but to
close _11: =='f_or. good.
No wonder Hoke didn’t carry Cobb
County—he had such a heavy load to
carry;- Herbert, Tom, Otis, and a
bunch of little Toms. That was some
handicap. He did well under the cir
cumstances.
- As the primary election is over,
and Simp’s brother, Tom has worked
faithfully and voted, and Sheriff
‘Swanson is safe in office for another
lfour years, we very modestly suggest
that Sheriff Swanson execute the
ESTABLISHED 1866
THIS WOULD BE GREAT
Our Lost Mountain Correspondent
Has a Day Dream of More
| Farm Help
\ By A. N. Mayes
~ Dr. C. A. Wikle said he thought
that when the weather faired up the
;merchants ought to close up their
stores and help the farmers plant
their crops. We are expecting this
to happen any day and we thought it
might be well enought to parcel out
the jobs best suited to each fellow.
John Fowler and Ed Allgood would
be good hands to lay off corn ground,
and Dan Anderson, Mack Fowler and
Oscar Shaw, of course, would want
to run the cotton planter. Homer
McCleskey would feel at hime with
the guano distributor; Fred Dunn
would want to bed potatoes, Jud
‘Ward and Geo. Griffin could plant
peas, Marvin Norton could bring
ialong some of those keen cutters and
work on the stove wood pile, Jim An
derson could feed the cattle, and of
course, Tom Florence would want to
feed the hogs.
Newt Medford could tote in stove
wood Charlie Ward and Will DuPre
would make good water boys if they
didn’t fish in the branch, Tom Hicks
and Esmer Bullard could feed and
curry the mules, Will Florence and
Joe Hardage would want to work in
the flower yard, Dr. Wikle and Tom
Read could hoe in the garden, Demp
sey Medford could furnish sweat
rags and pick blisters. Mac Hodges,
John Collins and Johnnie Griffith
would want to dig sassfras sprouts to
get the extract. Gus Benson would
want to ditch in the bottoms, Dunklin
Reynolds could look after the har
row’s teeth. Walter Sams and Ralph
Northcutt could milk the cows, Doyle
Butler, Arthur Delk and Fred Ward
could ride the tractors and Luther
Benson could rock the crows out of
the watermelon patch.
d .G Kinc;aid and Martin Griggs
could set out “tater” slips, Carl Med
ford could ring the bell for dinner,
Ed Murray could get a few snap
shots for the “Country Gentleman”.
David Comfort and Otis Brumby
could lecture the crowd at dinner
time on “How to Farm.” Doctors
Benson, Nolan, Blair, Mims, Malone,
Elder, Donahoo, Perkinson, also Dr.
Harris and a half dozen more rubbing
doctors could bring out ambulances
in the afternoon and get them back
to town and repair the damages.
Surely wonderful things are hap
pening in these days.
MARIETTA MEN BUY
ANOTHER BIG BUSINESS
Messrs. N, K. Smith and G. P.
Reynolds, last week, closed a deal
for the Joseph Dry Goods Company,
of Milledgeville, one of the biggest
concerns of its character in central
Georgia. Mr. Joseph, the active head
of the firm recently died and the
estate wished to get out of business,
with the result that the sale was
made.
warrant issued by Judge Blair for
Simp Jackson, and arrest him. We
heard a good citizen say he met Simp
on the streets of Atlanta a few days
ago.
When the Executive Committee
consolidated the vote, and it was of
fically declared that Watson carried
Cobb, Judge Morris made a speech
Ibefore them, stating in substance as
follows:
“Mr. Chairman, and Gentlemen: I
voted for Palmer. If Palmer had
carried this county, we would have
insisted on a strong Palmer delega
tion to the state convention. If
Smith had carried it, the Smith fol
lowers would have insisted upon a
strong Smith delegation. As Watson
has carried it, he is entitled to a Si
mon-pure Watson delegation., His
following has agreed on a delegation.
I hope you will elect them. It is
nothing but right that you shoud do
80.”
George Welsh made a talk endors
ing the same sentiment. If you don't
believe Watson got such a delegation,
read the names of those elected, pub
lished elsewhere,
Herbert wanted to make certain of
getting on the winning ticket, so he
could go to the San Francisco con
vention. He swapped from Palmer
to Smith in order to go, and for oth
er reasons. Now, he has lost out
entirely—too bad-—shocking!
Mack Pair and Lint Stephens car
ried thirteen precincts and Swanson
seven., The Acworth box saved the
Sheriff.
If Sheriff Swanson ever expects to
get on his knees and thank the Lord
for anything, we would suggest that
he thang Him for sending that rain
Tuesday afternoon instead of Mon
day night.
Scores of the supporters of Pair
staid at home and plowed, becauge
lthey were behind in planting their
crops. If it had rained Monday
night, they would have gone to _t):e
polls, which would have guamhcd
Pair’s election. P s B
