The Marietta Tonrnal
The
People’s
Paper
VOL. 55.N0. 11,
Commissions Have Expired at
Nearly One Hundred of
The Georgia Offices.
REPUBLICANS AWAIT PLANS
Senate Policy of Refusing to Confirm
Has Held Open Many
Jobs For Them.
Almost a hundred Georgia postof
fices are now held by postmasters
whose commissiqp;-i’have expired, or
by postmasters ose confirmation
was refuskd by the senate during the
last yeary
Quite=#@ number of others in the
state are held by postmasters whose
commissions will expire at an early
date and in few if any of those cas
es it is ‘expected that the present
incumbents will be reappointed, de
spite the placing of all offices under
the civl service by Mr. Wilson.
Many other postmasters who have
commissions to run for two or three
years have much hopes of three
years have much hopes of being per
mtted to fill out their full terms, no
matter what may be their conduct
in office, for the reason that so many
hungry republicans are clamoring
for the places. Only those postmas
ters who have a short term to fill
expect to complete their terms.
Thrée Cobb county offices are
among those considered open, Smyr
na only recently having been made a
presidential office and its postmas
ter not having been confirmed by the
senate, while the commissions of
both Roswell and Acworth postmas
ters expired on Wednesday of this
week.
The commission of Mrs. Clay in
the Marietta postoffice will expire
in November, 1922, while the Aus
tell commission § supposed to run
until June, 1924.3
It has alrefi been announced
that the policy of the present ad
ministration will be partisan, so it
remains to be seen what disposition
they will make of the offices with
long terms yet to run, It is known,
however, that pressure for a ghange
will be made in many instances. |

JOURNAL TO PUBLISH ON
THURSDAYS IN FUTURE

publication date from Friday to
Thursday. This will enable all
the subscribers in the county to
get the paper on Fridays and

vertiser.
~ FRIDAY NIGHT 7.30
i
Will Contest With Local High
School ‘For the Championship
of Girls Prep League.
l The Marietta High school and De
cautr High will play the game that
will decide whether of not Marietta
will have a chance at the pennant or
Decatur go away champions of the
Prep League Friday night on the Y.
W. C. A. court.
Decatur hasn’t lost a single game
this season and Marietta has lost on
ly one in the league and that to De
catur.
As they stand now Decatur has one
game in the lead and if she wins Fri
day night the matter will be settled.
If Marietta wins the two teams will
play off the tie for the champion
ship.
The Marietta High school girls
are in fine trim for the game and
feel confident they will even up mat
ters with Decatur. They outplayed
Decatur on her home court, but lost
the game on account of having so
many fouls called on them and the
accuracy with which each was ac
counted for.
A big crowd no doubt will be on
hand to witness the game Friday
night at 7:30.
SHOGLD BE MADE NOW
Many Chases Have Not Yet~Made
. Claims for Adjustment and Bu
reau Is Anxious to Settle Up.
During the past two months in the
State of Georgia the Bureau of War
Risk Insurance, in co-operation with
the American Legion, through its
State Representative, Mr. Harry A.
Wallerstein, has endeavored to reach
as many men personally in the State
who had claims against the Govern
ment because of injuries sustained
in service as possible, and the Atlan
ta Office was successful in reaching
nearly six hundred claimants and
taking up their claimg for adjust
ment with the Department.
There are still a great number of
men who have not yet looked into
their rights under the War Risk In
surance Act, and they are urged to
communicate either with the Bureau
of War Risk Insurance or the Ameri
can Legion or the American Red
Cross if they have suffered a phys
ical or dental disability in the ser
vice so that the proper action may be
taken on their claims.
All opportunity to reinstate in
surance has not yet been closed and
ex-service men can reinstate their
insurance on the payment of; two
monthly premiums and a full medi
cal examination before July 1, 1921,
after which their opportunity will
cease for all time. Inquiries will be
Answered and information promptly
furnished with reference to insur
ance and compensation, and ex-ser
vice men are urged to communicate
with the Bureau of War, Risk Insur
ance, at 195 Peachtree St, Atlanta,
Ga., accordingly.
YOUNG ATLANTA COUPLE

The usual monotony of business'
in “the ordinary’s office was brokeni
on Monday afternoon when a young
couple came in and asked for a mar- |
riage license. Judge Gann, as is his}
custom with strangers, and particu
larly young people, asked some ques
tions to satisfy himself of the age
of the applicants then issued the li
cense to Miss Myrtle Slaton and Ray
‘mond Cox, aged 19 and 21, respec
}tively, both claiming residence in At
lanta. At their request Judge Gann
‘then performed the wedding cere

Cobb County to Furnish Road
~ Working Machinery. High
way Dept. will Supervise
_ By an agreement just made by the
State Highway. Department with the
Cobb County Commissioners, that
department has taken over the up
keep of the Dixie Highway from Ma
rietta to the river at Collin’s Bridge.
The agreement provides the county
furnish a tractor and scrapes when
necessary to drag the dirt portion of
this road, but the labor and super
vision will be flairnished by the State
Highway Depdrtment. The reason
for this agregment is that the state
department i§ willing to keep up bfig
main highwgys, but will not uy
dirt-road rking machinery, ithe
state roads“all being paved as rapid
ly as possible.
An effort is now being made by
the commissioners to have & like
agreement entered by the depart
ment for the upkeep of the Dixie
Highway from Marietta to the Bar
tow County line above Acworth.
Mr. Henry Ridggway has been
placed in charge of the road south
of Marietta by’ the Supervisor of
Work ror the sth Division of state
roads. _
e State Highway Department
has recently contracted to keep up
the Dixie Highway for 28 miles
thiough Bartow County, but that
county has turned over to the de
partment all its tools, equipment and
labor, and will have to provide extra
gangs for its other county work. It
is said that there is much more work
to do on the Bartow roads than on
Cobb’s roads, however.
The Cobb County Commssioners
have also made a contract with the
W. C. Hill Construction Company of
Birmingham to do the work whch the
county is obligated to perform in con
nection with the government in the
construction of the Bankhead High
way from the river to Austell, and
the Western Branch of the Dixie
Highway from Austell, by way of
Powder Springs, to the Paulding
County line. |

ALL~AMERICAN MEET
State Body Sends Message to
Leaders in Madison S&‘ua.re
Garden in New Yo
Atlanta, Ga., March 17.—The
American Legion of Georgia has
sent its greetings and its endorsment
of the great all-American mass meet
ing to be held under the leadership of
the Legion at Madison Square Gar
den, New York, on March 18, as an
answer and a national demonstration
against the revival of German propa
ganda activities in the United States,
it was announced today by J@ G. C.
Bloodworh, Jr., State Adjutant of the
Legion_
Mr. F. W. Galbraith, Jr., National
Commander of the Legion has been
placed in charge of arrangements for
the meeting by a committee represnt
ing fifty patriotic civie, fraternal, pro
fessional and labor organizaions. Mr.
Galbraith has sent word to Mr. Blood
worth that the meeting will be the
“mightiest patriotic demonstration
Americans ever witnessed since the
Armistice.” Telegrams will be read
from every state in the union. On
behalf of the ex-service men of Geor
gia, A L. Henson, State Commander
of the Legion has wired Mr. Gal
braith as follows:
“Executive Committee, Geqrgia
Department, endorses unqualifiedly
your national compaign against Ger
man propaganda. Georgia Legion
naires will support you to the last
ounce of strength, Call on us for
anything.”
In his response to the Georgia greet
ings Mr. Galbraith asserted that he
was being deluged with telegrams
from all parts of the country. He
writes:
“There has been nothing like it
since the wave of patriotic ardor en
veloped the nation following our dec
laration of war against Germany. It
marks the spontaneous beginning of
a great All American counter-offen
sive against enemy propaganda which
is sweeping America. It is the natur
al reaction from the national wave of
resestment which swept the country
in the wake of the exposure by the
American Legion of the projected re
vival' of German propaganda afforts
lEsWntry, the insidious objects
of which were to astrange the Ufmed
States and those nations which were
our comrades in arms in war, and the
resortation to its place of former
power and influence in our national
affairs of the powerful pro-German
political machine of which Horr von
Bernsorff and others made such good
use in the imperial cause before we
entered the war, The cards are on
the table now. The disloyalists have
stated their case and America has
made its answer.”

Much Time of Court Taken wup
By Cases of Small Importance.
Chiminal Court Next Week.
Cobb Supérior Court met Monday
and started for a week on the civil
calendar, most of the cases being
of very little interest to the general
public and involving small amounts.
Most of the time for two days was
taken up with a suit between a negro
preacher and one of the officers of
his church over the ownership of a
house and lot in Marietta. Natur
ally this drew a large audience of
the members of the church and was
hard fought by able counsel on both
sides.
The injunction case against the
city board of lights and waterworks,
was on the calendar for Wednesday,
but had not been reached up to noon
on Thursday. This being the case
involving the right of the board to
pay the treasurer of the board a sal
ary of $2,400, great interest in its
outcome has been evidenced.'

~ Vote In Marietta City Elections.
| Can Register This Fall.
i April 12th has been fixed as the
date for holding Marietta’s paving:
bond election and we carry in an
~other column an advertisement of
the ordinance showing the details of
the proposed bond issue.
It provides for the issue f $60,000
of five per cent, thirty year bonds.
It is not thought probable that
there will be any opposition to the
bonds, but it is important that a hea~
vy vote be polled in favor of he is
sue, as this always has a bearing up
on the price obtained for bonds.
The registration is 903, and as no
women are registered, they will not
be qualified to vote in this election.
Our present charter only provides
for registration once in two years
and this fall will be the first time
vomen may register for city elee
tions. The registration held just be
fore the proposed city charter and
manager election of last fall was au
thorized by a special act of the leg
islature,
Many of the advocates of bonds
have expressed regret that the wom
en will not be qualified for this elec
tion, but the women may greatly
help the cause in seeing that a full
and favorable vote is polled—being
yet without a vote she has a pow
erful influence.
Many women have already reg
istered, however, for county and
state elections and are fully quali
fied, except for eity elections.
