COBB COMMISSICNERS
SCORED BY GRAND JURY

the commutation road tax in their
respective districts and to use the
money thus derived, or such part as
may be necessary; for the repair and
maintenance of roads in their respec
tive districts.
The contract with the state high
way commission calls for the com
pletion of the Dixie Highway with a
hard surface road to Loves street in
the town of Smyrna and the present
ments recommend the full carrying
out of the contract. The work is now
under way on the Dixie Highway in
this county and is completed from
Marietta to within a short distance
of Smyrna. The completion as per the
contract will give a first class hard
finish road from Marietta almost
thru the city limits of Smyrna. The
Dixie Highway thru Smyrna, known
as Atlanta Street, is a very jolty and
disagreeable road at the present and
the proposition to put it in first class
shape will meet with the hearty ap
proval of all who have to travel this
road.
The approval b ythe Grand Jury of
the bill calling for a one
man county commission makes
its adoption by the people of
the county an almost assured fact
when it goes before them for ratifi
ration. The bill has already passed
both: the senate and house without
opposition.
The only other recommendation
was to the effect that the county com
missioners purchase two dozen chairs
for use in the grand jury and jury
rooms, the judge’'s chamber and oth
er places in the court house.

One of his fellow workmen, it is
stated, in nis efforts to get him louse
from the wire struck his hand scv-‘
erar Llows with a hammer or wrench.
This was not successful and he \vas‘
not released until the main trolley
wire was cut. Mr. Starnes was then
removed in full possession of his con
sciousness, to the office of Dr. Mims
where it was discovered that while
he had been severely shocked it would
not in all likelyhood prove serious,
but his hand had one od two bones
broken by ihe blows struck in thel
efforts to tear him loose. ‘
The cutting of the trolley wire sent
one end o the brick pavement where,
it is stated, that a little girl came
near being hit. The wire, coming in
contaet with the bricks caused much
noise which attracted quite a large
erowd.
The Marietta chief of police came
immediately- to the scene and kept
the crowd back so as to avert the
possibility of any one coming in con
tact with the withs. The other
linemen were soon on the job repair

more minutes the line was again in

Jf his death.
There were few men of greater
personal popularity, than Captain Ir
win, and he numbered his friends by
the hundreds from all parts of the
state.
The funeral was largely attended
by relatives and friends, including
many friends from the state capitol
in Atlanta, with whom he has been
associated for years. And the beau
tiful floral offerings bore silenti tes
timony to the love and esteem in
which Captain Irwin was held. The
services’ were conducted by the Rev.
R. R. Claiborne, at Union Chapel,
the little stone church near the Irwin |
home, and which Mr. Irwin had at
tended for years, and of which he
was a devoted member.
His remains were laid to rest in the
family lot in the City Cemetery, rest
ing beside his beloved wife.
Surviving Mr. Irwin are, one daugh
ter, Mrs. E. E. Irwin, of Marietta, and
seven grand children, of deceased
sons, and nine nieces and nephews
He had reached the ripe age of 78
vears, and died in the steadfast faith
that:
““His spirit would return
To Him who gave it birth,
Who captive, led captivity,
Who robbed the grave of victory, :
And took the sting from death.”
The pall bearers were, Messrs. Os

W. Camp, of Marietta; and Wm. B.

Federated Press Writer States
That All Visitors’ Expenses
are Paid by Soviets.
The Journal is in receipt of an ar
ticle written by William Z. Foster,
famous as the labor leader of the
steel strike of 1919, who is in Rus
sia for the purpose of writing of con
ditions as found there at the pres
ent for the Federated Press Bureau,
which tells of the treatment accorded
to visitors to the Socialist Republic.
He went to Europe only very re
cently for the purpose of entering
Russia, so that what he has experi
enced may in every respect be con
sidered as the very latest methods
of the Bolshevists.
He states that he had to wait in
a border town until his case could be!

ment of Moscow.
He was permitted to enter after
the Bolshevists were convinced that
his visit was entirely in the interest
of information and that he had no
desire to spy upon them or to injure
their cause.
He states that every person per
mitted to visit Russia, regardless of
their standing, that is, whether they
are worker, capitalist, or what not,
becomes the guest of the Socialist
government the minute he steps up
on Russian soil and remains so un
til his departure. And during this
time, he. states, ths guest, regard
less of what he is there for, provid
ing the government has considered
it is legitimate, is clothed, fed, hous
ed, transported and entertained free,
being permitted to pay for nothing
during his stay in the country. He
goes where he pleases, investigates
what he likes, and all at the expense
of the Soviet government. There is
said to be nothing parallelling this
in a general way in any other coun
try in the world.
It is stated that Foster is in Rus
sia neither as a friend or enemy of
the Bolshevicks, but merely in the
interest of the facts for the Feder
