VOL. 55. No.-12
OF DRAFT EVADERS
All Records of Local Boards In
Hands of Department At
Washington
COBBCOUNTYNAMES ONLIST
Volunteers Who Were Later Called
Should Report The Dates And
Branch of Service
The office of the Adjutant General
at Washington announces that the
final checking of the records of the
local boards is now in progress, and
urges that all persens who have rea
son to believe that they may be
charged with evading the draft call,
but who did not actually do so,
promptly to communicate the facts
to that office at once, or they may be
unjustly publicly branded as desert
ers. . 4 |
The department is preparing to
publish the names of all persons who
did not respond to the cal] of the
local boards, and it is known that not
a few of these were already in the]
service as volunteers in some branchl
of the service, but proof of the fact
not being available by the boards,
these persons still appear on the lists
as draft evaders.
It is known that a number of Cobb
County boys were embraced in this
class, and they should at once takel
steps to inform the office of the Ad- |
jutant General, Washington, D. C., of‘
the date and character of their ser- |
vice. )
Some time ago all the records of |
the local board of Cobb County were
boxed and shipped to Washington un
der orders of the department, and
the local board discharged from any
further duties, so the members of that
board have no further connection!
with the matter. !
It is finally proposed to offer a re-,
ward for all those whose names have |
not been cleared up, and of these at:
this time there are more than 150,000
in the country. Publication of the!
names is expected shortly, however. !

Y, W, . . TO PRESENT
Special Scenery Is Being Prepared
And Local Talent Rehearsing
~ Parts For Program
Rehearsals for one of the evenings
of one act plays have begun and are
being carried on with great enthusi
asm. Three entertaining plays have
been selectd for this first €vening, one
a whimsical play, o tragedy, and
one a most enjoyablé“comedy. These
productons, “Three Pills in a Bottle,”
“Triffles,” and “Joint Owners in
Spain,” are under the direction of
Mrs. W. E. Benson, chairman of the
Drama Council of the Y. W. C. A,
and after being thoroughly finished
and polished will he given about the
middle of April, }e exact date not
vet decided upor
The Dram uncil has selected
the best one-act plays in America for
their work on account of the very
large amount of royalty they will
have to pay, their efforts will have no
great amount of financial reward but
their aim“to give the very best plays
to the people of Marietta is very
much more valuable than a purely
commercial-aim.
The new scenmery which is being
prepared especially for the work, is
really an artistic triumph and Mrs.
Lawson Fields, who has charge of the
work on the old and new scenery is
very much to be congratulated on the
results she is obtaining. One of the
greatest.attractions about the new
scenery is the amount of hand-de
corations which add’ just the right
touch to it. :
Watch for more exact announce
ments as to time and cast.

Financial Aid For Farmers

Hopes To See Active Associations
Formed In Every County In

Congressman Lee is at home again
after attendance of the short term

than reports that reached him in

The Journal is in receipt of the

may avail themselves at this time.

Chickamauga, Ga.,
March 22, 1921.
Editor Marietta Journal:
Since my return from Washington
a few days ago, I have been met
wherever I have been with distressing
accounts of embarassment that our
people are laboring under by reason
of the unprecedental decline in prices
of farm products. This embarass
ment has reached al]l classes of our
people; bankers, farmers, merchants,
professional men and laborers all are
caught in the toils of this great world
wide shrinkage in values. Many who
were considered in affluence yester
day are today in doubt as to their
future.
I have been surprised to note that
but little interest has been shown in
a measure of relief that was provided
by congress in 1916, extending to
farmers the priviledge of securing
loans through Governmental agencies
on unusually favorable terms. I re

- ON CRIMINAL DOCKET
New Solicitor and Assistant Try
ing Their First Cases In
Cobb Courts
This is criminal court week in Ma
rietta and Solicitor John Wood and
his assistant Lindley Camp are get
ting their first official experience in
Cobb county court. Both have per
formed their duties with dignity and
credit, securing quite a number of
convictions, most of them negroes,
but several whites also.
Will Compton, white, was found
guilty on the charge of stealing the
car of J. W, Petty and pawning same
to party in South Carolina. The car
was recovered, the party to whom it
was pawned appearing as a witness
against Compton. The jury recom
mended that he be punished as for a
misdeameanor, and gave him a one
year sentence. :
Lon Williams, colored, got 3 years
for burglary, while Frank Alexander
got 2 years on a felony charge. Joe
Sampson, Offie Lester, J. B. Warner
and Harry Warren got terms of 3 to
12 months on the gang for minor of
fenses.
Other cases including the Hetrick
case had not been concluded on
Thursday.
Th Grand Jury committees are
making the rounds and preparing
their presentments which will be pub
lished next week.
A Merchant’s Opinion
Of Steady Advertising
The manager of one of Ma
rietta’s progressive business
firms handed the following to
the editor of the Journal for
.publication. v
The firm is a consistent pa
tron of the Journal and the
satisfaction expressed in this
article should be convincing as
to the merits of advertising and
where to place it.
JUST ON ADVERTISING
You may be reading this to
find out if it pays to advertise
—YES—we have no time to
argue with a n{z:m who does not
believe that advertising pays.
Experience has taught that ad
vertising is the best and ealy
business insurance,you can take
out. You can buy fire insur
ance for your stock of goods,
but no company will issue a
soan Act, by the terms of which loans
n be had by farmers at a rate not
gXceeding six per cent and for a term
from 5 to 40 years by organizing
Loan Associations.
. The operation of this law has been
sgspended for nearly twe years by
an attack upon its constitutionality
‘made by parties in a Western state.
Recently, however, the Supreme
Court of the United States has affirm
d its constitutionality and there is
‘tow no hindrance to its beneficial
i brovisons, but the apathy of these for
Whose benefit the law was enacted.
L" About half a million dollars was
HJoaned in this Tth district before the
ostile litigation was instituted. A
fmillion or two more can be obtained
by compliance with the terms of the
. When this act first became a law
it was not regarded with favor by
many bankers. Now, however, that
hey are sharing in the general hard
ship that prevails, I am informed that
they will gladly welcome the aid that
'this law extends to their farmer
friends and patrons.
. In fact, nearly all classes may get
some relief from present money ur-
Pjgency by these loans made to farm
‘ers, as they will relieve local banks
;{from some of the usual demands up
on them.
~ Applications for full instructions
‘and blanks should be made to the
‘Farm ILoan Bank, Columbia, S. C.,
or, if preferred, to me at Washington
iCity.
I respectfully suggest the free use
‘of this source of help by all farmers
iwho need it and are prepared to pro-
Ft by its use.
+ I hope soon to hear that Farm Loan
Associations are being formed in
l;every county in Georgia. Besides
iz:eing a law of far-reaching benefit to
the agricultural interests of the
country, I feel a personal interest in
E,its successful operation by reason of
having actively aided in its enact
?ment. Very truly,
; Gordon Lee.
ACWORTH DIV, B.Y.P. U,
Splendid Program is Given to
Delegates That Attend From
Other Churches
The Acworth division of the Noon
day Associational B. Y. P. U. held
their first annual rally at the Acworth
Baptist church Sunday afternoon be
ginning at 2 p. m.
A splendid program had been ar
ranged by the divisional vice presi
dent, Mr. M. A. Goodwin and a large
attendance was present.
The B. Y. P. U. has made good pro
gress in Mr. Goodwin’s district during
the last year and good reports were
heard from all the unions in the dis
trict at the meeting Sunday.
Not only the unions in the district,
but many represenatives from other
B. Y. P. U’s. were there.
A bright future is seen for the
unions near Acworth and much in
terest was shown in the young peo
ple’s work in that section.
The Acworth Union gave a demon
stration program which was well ar
ranged and nicely rendered. The of
ficers of that Union are to be com
mended for work they are doing in
the church.

policy covering your business.
Advertising pays a profit as
you go along, and in addition
it gives protection, it gives
you a following and enables you
to hold it. You advertise your
self into a good business posi
tion and reputation.
Now don’t think that you can
take a flyer in advertising. Fly
ers don’t pay. Get in to stay,
or eclse stay out. Advertising
is a business within a business,
and the man who neglects it
will find himself with & busi
ness without a business. Good
careful advertising of ' the
steady never-let-up sort will
positively win. Simple Jan
guage, but strong, positive
statements that go right to the
mark and always the truth are
best.

TRYING HETRICKON
Audit Showed Net Shortage In
Mill Accounts Of »
$60,871.67
ALLPOINTS OF CASE FOUGHT
Court House Filled And Much In
terest Shown In The Out
/ come of Case
As the Journal goes to press on
Thursday, the case of W. F. Hetrick,
former president and treasurver of
the Acworth Cotton Mfg Co., charged
with a shortage of sixty thousand
dollars of that company’s funds was
in progress in Cobb Superior Court.
Judge Blair was presiding and So
licitor Wood was assisted in the pro
secution by Morris & Hawkins and
Joe Abbott, while the defense was
being conducted by Clay & Blair and
H. B. Moss.
v The first witness was J. A. Winn, &
public accountant, who had made an
audit of the books of the Acworth
company immediately after the com
pany had been placed in the hands of
a receiver and Hetrick's gkipped out
for parts unknown.
Marietta acquaintances of Hetrick
gave a bond of $5,000 for him when
he was first arrested, but he did not
return for trial and was finally trail
ed down by detectives and brought
back to the Atlanta jail, where he
remained until brought to Marietta
for trial this week.
On the stand the accountant iden
tified checks and papers upon which
he had based his report, which was
made by the direction of Orlando
Awtrey, the receiver of the company,
and testified as to‘such facts as came
within his knowledge by reason .of
the audit. His report showed a net
shortage of $60,871.67 which was at
tributed to Hetrick’s operations of
irregular and unauthorized charac
ter. | ’
The gross debit account was shown
as $129,120.89, with credits from
various assets left by Hetrick of
$68,249.22 leaving the net shortage
above stated.
Bankers were put on the stand to
establish the payment of checks of
the Acworth Cotton Mfg. Co., claim
ed to have been issued by Hetrick and
usedein a ‘manner for his personal
credit. : b,
The evidence showed that Hetrick
was interested in three corporations,
and it was by the manipulation of the
funds of these that he was able to
conceal for a time the actual condi
tion of his own finances.
Many witnesses were to be heard
and a hard fight is being made on
both sides of the case, Clay leading
for the defense and Morris for the
proscution, while the court house was
well filled with interested spectators.
DISGUSSED T 0 - NIGHT
Wm. Trickett Giles, National Or
ator Will Address Audience
At Methodist Church
Wiliam Trickett Giles, an orato# of
national fame will speak at the Me
thodist church to-night at 8 o’clock
under the auspices of the Local
Lodge of the Moose.
The public in general is invited to
attend this meeting and the matter of
securing the big Moose orphans home
that is to built in the South, for
Cobb county, will be discussed.
The proposed Moose home is fo
cost $2,000,000 and two very attraec
tive spots in Cobb county are being
considered. Mr. Giles is one of the
National officers and Marietta is very
fortunate to have him come to the
city at this time. ‘ .
Not only the members of the Moose
organization, but every citizen in the
county should be interested and come
out to-night and hear Mr. Giles.
Ladies and children are especially in
vited.
If Cobb county should secure the
Moose home it would be one of the
greatest steps forward in many years.
it is the duty of every citizen inter
ested in the welfare of the county te
be present and a good time is await
ing those who attend. -~
~ The Moose home would not enly
‘bring millions of dollars to this sec
\tion but would afford employment
for hundreds of workmen for several
!years. It’s a big proposition and Ma
rietta cannot afford to treat the mat
ter coldly.
Bring your wife and children,
|friends and neighbors and come to
night. It will go a long way toward
convineing Mr. Giles that Cobb coun
ty ig the place for the $2,000,006
Home.
