Eighty Per Cent of Value May Be
Had By Member Banks on Their
Cotton Secured Notes.
That there will be no change in the
policy of the Federal Reserve Bank
for the Sixth District, in the matter
of cotton loans in connection with
the 1920 crop, is the positive state
ment of Governor M. B. Welborn of
that institution, in a letter to Com
missioner of Agriculture, J. J. Brown.
This means, as will be clear from
Governor Welborn’s statement, that
the Sixth Federal Reserve Bank will,
for the present season, as in the past,
rediscount merchants and shippers 90
days paper and farmers sixth months
paper, secured by cotton, in a basis
of 80 per cent of market value.
The assuranee given by Governor
Welborn in the following letter to
Commissioner Brown, under date of
Sept. 17, 1920, will be very welcome
to cotton producers and al] interested
in the holding of cotton for a fair
Pprice: :
“This is to ackn.owledge receipt of
your letter of Sept. 16. In reply 1
wish to say that we are advising our
member banks in reply to their in
quiries, that they need have no fear
that the Federal Reserve Bank will
net function properly and accommo
date its member banks in rediscount
ing their customers notes secured by
cotton, up to 80 per cent of its mar
ket wvalue, insured and properly stor
ed, having a maturity within six
month.”
The foregoing letter signed by
Governor Wellborn, was written in
reply to a direct inquiry from Com
missioner Brown, whose undertand
ing was that cotton loans would be
taken care of this year the same as in
the past. Commissioner Brown’s let
ter of inquiry under date of Septem
ber 16th, was as follow: .
“lI am receiving many inquiries
from citizens of Georgia as to the
present policy of the Sixth Federal
Reserve Bank, regarding the redis
counting of cotton paper. Will you
be so kind as to write me if there is
not any hesitation on your bank’s
part, toward rediscounting a farmer’s
six months note, or a merchant’s
three months note, either of which is
secured by a bonded cotton ware
house receipt. Your prompt reply
to the foregoing will be very much
appreciated.” :
It will be interesting to note that
Governor Wellborn’s reply is exactly
in line with the Department’s prior
information which was communicat
ed to the public through the press of
the state.
SUMMER TERMS OF '
SCHOOLS END.
The Cobb county schools have
closed their summer terms and the
5,000 children in them will hie away
to the cotton fields for ‘‘technical
education.” And, by the way, a lit
tle hard work mixed in with. school
school duties is no minor part of a
real good education. It develops also
the physical side of the body better
than any thing else can do the job.
But the children are cut off from the
best time of the year for study.by
the cotton fields that are beckoning
to tHem. September to December
furnishes the best weather conditions
and best roads for school going, but
the cotton fields are cheating many
poor boys and girls of their best time
for preparation for life’s work.
COBB COUNTY PIG SHOW.
The big.pig show put on annually
in the county for a number of years
will be held this fall October 14, and
bids fair to be the best ever held in
the county. The boys and girls clubs
are getting ready more pigs than
" have been shown before and they are,
generally, in fine shape. After the
county show is over, the best pigs
and the best of other exhibits will be
sent to the Southeastern Fair at At
lanta.
EQUINOCTIAL UPON US.
. The government has sent storm
warnings to all cities along the gulf
; coast, from Pensacola to the western
boundaries of the Texas coast. A
stgrm of large proportions is headed
toward the land, with some point
west of the mouth of the Mississippi
as the striking place. No doubt high
winds and probably rains will prevail
over the cotton belt within a few
days as the result of the storm.
True to the time, the equinox came
in on Sept. The storm is said to
bave a strong headway and will pro
bably do great harm where is hits the
coast and nearby sections. :

N. Y. ASSEMBLY
OUSTS SOCIALISTS.
Five socialists were ousted last
spring from the New York assembly
(lower 'house of the legislature).
They were recently re-elected to the
same office at a special election.
When the assembly met, three of the
number were again ousted by a vote
of 90 to 45. The other two were
allowed to retain their seates, but
voluntarily declined to do so unless
all were seated. They were put out
on the idea that socialist principles
are inimical to the government.

COMMISSION WILL PERMIT
RAISE ON LIGHT AND POWER
The railroad commission has rend
ered a decision that the light and the
power rates of the Georgia Railway
& Power Comrany may be raised in
Atlanta, and of course this will also
eventually touch Marietta and other
customers of the power company, to
scme extent.
The immediate effect of the decis
ion is to raise the Atlanta street car
rates to seven cents on October Ist.
The rates on the Atlanta N rthern
(Atlanta-Marietta line) are rot cov
ered by the decision, but they will
probably be eventually reached by an
increase if the matter is pressed.
NOONDAY ASSOCIATION.
The next annual meeting of the
Noonday Baptist Association goes to
New Hope church, four miles north
of Acworth. Rev. A. J. Morgan was
re-elected Moderator. The recent
session of the body was held with the
Canton church.
MULE BREAKS BOOTH’S ARM.
Mr. John Wilkes Booth had his arm
broken by the kick of -a mule one
day last week. He had gone to the

denly turned round and kicked him,
breaking the arm pretty badly above
the elbow. 2 G gty LR

WINTER COVER CROPS.
In many respects September may
be considered the beginning of farm
operations for next year. ‘That is,
we should now plan for next year’s
results by sowing winter cover crops
‘.for soil improvement and such other
crops for harvesting as our needs
may call for. :
Winter cover crops bind the sur
face soil particles together and there
by reduce washing, reduce the leach
ing out of plant food, and add humus
to the soil. Winter leguminous crops
such as crimson and burr clover and
vetch, .not only prevent the leaching
‘out of plant food already present in
the soil but at the same time transfer
nitrogen from the air to the soil to
be used by succeeding crops.
A fertile soil is the very first es
sential to suecess on the farm and
cover crops, especially ° leguminous
cover crops, are an absolute necessity
in the work of scil saving and soil
building. When we remember that
pan acre of good clover plowed under
in the spring has a flertilizing value
equal to more than 1200 pounds of
cottonseed meal or 400 pounds of nit
rate of soda, to say nothing of the
great quantity of humus-making mat
erial added to the soil, it is astonish
ing that these crops are not more
widely grown.
Crimson clever should be sown in
this section the latter part of Septem
ber. 15 to 20 pounds of clean seed
or 40 to 50 pounds of seed in the
chaff per acre sown in cotton or corn
middles and covered with a gee-whiz
will give a good stand if sown when
there is a goood season in the ground.
If clover has nct been grown on the
land in the last few years the soil
should be inoculated with soil from a
field that has been growing clover
sucessfully, or with commercia] cul
ture. ’
Rye can also be put in this month.
It makes a.valuable winter cover
crop and is one of the surest crops
for this section of the country. Sow
from one to one and a half bushels
to the acre. It will also furnish good
grazing in the early spring.
RAIL RATE ON COTTON AND
BRICK WILL NOT BE RAISED
The Georgia Railroad Commission
‘has denied a 25 percent raise on cot
ton and brick asked for by the roads
of the state. The decision maintains
that the present rates are reasona
ble and adequate.

THE FIRST TEN BALES
l COME IN QUICKLY.
; Marietta business men quickly got
the ten bales of cotton at 50 cents
per pound. Farmers are ready to
market some cotton at this figure, but
they should go slow in selling at the
present price. It has cost at least
forty cents per pound to raise cotton
this year in our section of Georgia,
and the farmer is entitled to his cost
and some profit. We wish to con
gratulate the merchants and business
men on the interest evoked in the
matter of paying well for the first
bale and to suggest that. Marietta can
make quite a “rep” by paying a little
above surrounding towns all t’hrough‘
the season. This will draw trade,‘
help the farmers, and build up Mari
etta’s standing over the county. ‘
HEALTH WEEK BIG SUCCESS.
The week set apart by the County
Health Commissioner for examining
children under school age proved a
big success. Both the commissioner
and his assistant were kept very busy
all the week and good crowds attend
ed the public meeting to hear the fine
addresses made. Cobb county is go
ing rapidly forward in the great work
cf taking care of her rising genera
tion. People are waking up to the
fact that much suffering may be
averted by early attention to child
ren’s minor defects. , We have too
long acted on the idea that children
would “outgrow” defective teeth,
poor tonsils, adenoids and the like.
These things should be cured, not
outgrown.
CHILD WELFARE WEEK
A BIG SUCCESS.
Dr. Todd and Miss Gibbes had a
very busy week with the ‘“babies”
last week. About 275 were exam
ined. Most of them were found phy
sicaily fit, but some needed atten
tion. Nothing of more importance
can have the attention of parents
than have the little ones kept up to
the top-notch in health. A great
work was done by the Health Com
m fi‘e’jr- in the summer in the work
of WMo uldting against typhoid - and
nq‘gv he ‘will give his time largely for
several weeks to examining school
children in the village and long-term
schools over the county. Prevention
is far better than cure, apd our
Health Commissioner works on this
line,
LOSE TEACHERS TO CITIES.
The eity school systems are mak
ing constant drafts on the supply of
really gocd teachers. They do not
get them all, but they do get quite
a number of them each year, espec
ially so in the last two or three years.
Recently Cobb county lost good
teachers because of our proximity to
Atlanta, where teachers have found
more profitable employment as steno
graphers and book-keepers in jobs
that last the year through. Miss Janie
Acree, who was formerly teacher at
Sardis, is now in the Greenville, S.
C., schools: Miss Mary Noble, former
ly with the Trinity schecol, has gone
to Lithia Springs: Miss Grace Jolley
from Mars Hill to Locust Grove and
Miss Lucy Carroll to Pendergrass.
HALE—MEACHERN
“Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Hale announce
the e'ng'ag;ement of their sister,
Pearl Elizabeth Hale, to David Wil
liam McEachern of Marietta, Geor
gia, the wedding to take place in the
early fall. No cards.”
Mr. McEachern has a large circle
of friends in Marietta who are much
interested in the above announcement
which appeared in the Atlanta papers
of Sunday.
The bride-to-be, who has visited
in Marietta, is a pretty and petite
brunette, and is as sweet and fin‘
as she is pretty.
Mr. McEachern, who is one of our
successful young men, is in business
with his father, and will bring his
bride to his home here. His many
warm friends will give her a cordial
welcome to Marietta.
COAL ASSOCIATION SAYS
SUPPLIES ARE SUFFICIENT
The National Coal Association has
issued a statement that there will be!
enough coal to supply every need
this winter, but says that it may take
until December to finish deliveries.
The statement says ‘““that by taking
only enough coal now to tide' them
over to December first, the entire
situation will work out with no great
iprivation to any one,” It doubtful if
people who have suffered for lack of
coal in the past will be inclined to
[uu so complacent a view of it.

,By a Majority of 102 Votes Marietta
Citizens Choose to Retain
' the Old System.
‘[ The election Wednesday on the
new charter was an interesting one
in Mariet*a. The best of humor pre
vailed, although the interest ran high
and gocd workers for both sides were
on the job all day. A big vote was
polled, and the voters came early,
much more than half the vote being
in the box before the nocon hour.
There was a registration of more than
90C and the actual vote was 745, of
which a majority of 102 was for re
taining the c¢ld system.
A commission form of government
has been voted on in Marietta before
and had dabout the same result as
this one. that is, the majority against
it was about“the same. The city
seems committed to the present char
ter form, and its advancement must
come, for the time at least, under
this form of government. That we
need mcre adequate law for civic im
provement is perhaps true. The
Journal hopes to see all get together
and asl: the next general assembly
for amendments to the present char
ter, if any be needed to make im
provement on the streets, sewerage
and water supply. The school situa
tion . will be cared for in a special
election for that purpose soon.
With its natural advantages, its
abundant wealth and its progressive
citizenship, Marietta ought to go for
ward with rapid strides to all mod
ern and real civic improvements, All
streets in evry section of the city
should have the advantage of good
walks, passable conditions for vehic
les, sewer connections, and water
supply. The Journal will always be
ready to advocate these ideas'and to
lend its columns gratuitously to all
who wish to give their opinions on
the ,methods that will bést secure
and a pull all-together” for Marietta
them. “A long pull, a strong pull,
and her people will be our motto.

BURTON-HARDEMAN WEDDING.
The wedding of Miss Juliaßurton
and Mr. George Hardeman was an
interesting event of the week, taking
‘place at the home of the bride’s par
ents, Mr. and Mrs. Fred T. Burton,
at 8 o’clock on Thursday evening.
The house was beautifully decor
ated in handsome potted plants, dah
lias, and zinnias. In the parlor
where the bridal couple stood, a color
scheme of white and green was effec
tively carried out. The ceremony
was performed before an improvised
alter of palms and ferns, centered by
a seven-branched candle stick, hold
ing unshaded white tapers. Dr. W,
T. Hamby, of the First Methodist
church, officiated. The bride and
grocm entered together to the strains
of Mendelsahn’s wedding march,
played by Mrs. Lelia Grist Hender
son, of At'anta.
The bride’s girlish beauty was en
hanced by her becoming costume, a
coat suit of navy blue peach blow
cloth, with collar and trimmings of
seal, and a chic blue feather togue.
She carried an armful of Bride’s
roses,
Immediately after the ceremony
an informal reception was held and
dainty refreshments were served in
the dining room, where a color
scheme of pink was carried out in
detail.
Later the young couple left in a
motor for At'anta, from where they
went to Jacksonville, Florida, . for.
their honey-moon. ;
The bride is the only daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Fred Burton and is
