MARIETTA, COBB COUNTY, GA., THURSDAY, APRIL 5, 1923.
MARTIN AMOROUS
Amorous Made Strong Impressien
On Board By Argument He
Made Few Weeks Ago.
Washington, March 31.—With the
withdrawal of A 7 A. Elmore from the
race for the dirt farmer appointment
on the federal reserve board, Martin
F. Amorous, of Cobb county, is in
a strong position. It is predicted by
some farm leaders and also by mem
bers of congress that the Georgia
man will finally land the plum. Mr.
Amorous made a profound impres
sion on the board a few weeks ago,
when he urged certain fundamental
changes in the treatment of co-oper
ative agricultural paper. While his
views have not been adopted as the
permanent policy of the federal re
serve board, it is known that Acting
Governor Platt and other members
are going carefully over the plans
suggested.
Elmore withdrew from the race
when it was discovered that under the
federal reserve act he could not leg
ally be appointed. No more than
one man can be appoifited from any
reserve district and the twelfth, in
which he has his voting residence,
has a member in the person of Dr.
Miller, of San Francisco.
The president has more than once
stated that he desired to name a
southern man. He would have ap
pointed Gus ‘Shaw, of Texas, but for
the fact that strong objections were
urged against him by some farm or
ganization leaders. But nobody
seems to be offering any objection
to Mr. Amorous. On the contrary,
there is a pretty general trend in his
direction. , He seems tu be satisfae
tory to agriculture in all important
sections of the country. Sghi
- No official statement has so few
been issued by the responsible headg.
of farm organizations in Washington,
but friends of Amorcus are encour
aged by the fact that the relations
subsisting between him and Charles
S. Barrett, president of the National
Farmers’ union, are of the mést cor
dial character. It is believed that
Barrett would be pleased to see his
friend on the federal reserve board,
but the farm leader declines at pres
ent to talk for publication.
It is contended'among the friends
of the Georgia man that he knows
more about banking in its relation to
the farming industry than any man
in the United States. And it is point
ed out that cotton, the most import
ant staple.in the country, is not now
represented on the board. The pres
‘ident himself has recognized this
glaring injustice to the south and if
the farm leaders show a genuine in
clination to support Mr. Amorous,
‘the wrong, will to a certain extent at
lleas‘t, be righted.
! “I know the president wants cot
‘ton to be represented on the federal
;reserve board,” said a western sena
tor, very close to the chief executive,
“and T know of no reason why he
:should not go to Georgia for his
man. The only reason a southerner
was not appointed when Mr. Camp-
Ebell got the post was that no cut
'standing representative of Dixie had

'which has drawn much praise from
‘the critics, will appear at the audi

‘the auspices of the Crusaders class,

% Since their first performance at

'ago, the club has thrilled capacity
'houses at Agnes Scott, Brenau and
'several other southern colleges. And
always the number of curtain calls
at the end of each act has demon
‘strated the fact that the club is the
best in the history of the school.
.'The Tech Glee club has always held
the disinction of being the “Scuth’s

“Five Feet of Love”, the witty
little comedy, given in twa acts at
Smyrna last Friday night, By the
Smyrna Shakespeare club, was a big
success from every viewpoint.
The play was directed by Mrs. J.
D. Wells and the cast was made up
entirely of Smyrna talent.
The parts were played with re
markable success and showed the re
sults of expert coaching. Special
mention may be correctly made of
Joe Camp, who played the part of a
detective; James Camp, the colored
valet; Collene Reed, as Miranda
Solun, and with emphasis on the part
the chorus played. We say “bring
in the chorus.”
. The play was well advertised and
drew a big crowd, play lovers attend
g from Marjetta and Atlanta, as
well as the Smyrna community.

of which deserves credit for the way

Former Georgia Governor
Will Be Buried Here Friday
Afternoon At 3 O’clock
Remains of Governo;“ae.rk Have Rested In
Florida For Nearly Hundred Years.
Being Brought Home By D. A. R.
For over ninety years, the remains
of a former governor of Georgia
have lain buried in another state.
This week, ,however, they are coming
home, to be reinterred, with every
honor, in the soil of the great com
monwealth which claims him as her
own.
General John Clark, twice gover
nor af the state, in the days when
the chief executive was elected by
the legislature, was a candidate in
the first campaign for governor de
cided by popular vote. He was de
feated in this election and, so great
was his chagrin, that he withdrew
from state politics forever, shortly
after accepted the post of Indian
agent, from the hands of President
Andrew Jackson, and left the state.
He moved to Florida to live and
erected a comfortable home overlook
ing St. Andrews bay. Here he lived
and died, being buried on what was
at that time a part of the land form
ing his homestead.
Since that time, however—Gover
nor Clark died in 1832—the land has
been cut up into building lots and,
until a few days ago, his grave has
been for a long time situated in the
backyard of a small cottage. Here,
with his wife and two grandchildren
beside him rested the bones of a
great Georgian. Above 'his grave
rubbish heaps and firewood lay. A
tenfoot marble shaft marked the
resting place, but no care was taken
of the spot, and it was merely a por
tion of a back yard, to be forgotten
at will, or used for any utilitarain
purpose.
SOCIAL DEPT. EN
TERTAINS LEAGUE
FRIDAY EVENING.
On Friday evening of last week
the Epworth League enjoyed the hos
pitality of its social department at
one of the loveliest parties of the
yvear. An unusual program of ‘fun’
was arranged by the hostesses, Misses
Daisy White and Helen Griffin, and
Mrs. White. After the series of ‘fun
contest,” in which the boys ran true
to form and won, the Barnyard Fro
lic was staged. At thjs special oc
casion Eugene Gifford and Polly
Webb outshone all the other attend
ants.
Delicious refreshments were served
by the committee in charge, and
Leaguers unanimously agreed that it
was the best social and most delic
iously refreshing ‘get together’ that
the League has ever enjoyed.
At the meeting on Sunday evening,
the usual business session was held,
at which the new offjcers were elect
ed. The following cfficers were
elected, to be installed at the instal
lation service on the first Sunday
night in May, next: Mr. Sherod
Tomlinson, president; Miss Lillian
Boatner, vice president; Mr. John
Heck, treasurer; Miss Helen Griffin,
secretary.

the moving of the body. Last week
it was disinterred and on Friday,
April 6, it will be reburied in the
National cemetery here.
Appropriate exercises have been ar
ranged. Governor Hardwick and oth
er state officials will take part in the
ceremonies at the graveside. Mrs.

tion committee on state historical

‘will have part in the exercises at the
cemetery, which will be held at 3

With the single exception of Gov
ernor Treutlen, whose last resting
place is unknown, John Clark was
the only one of Georgia's governors
| whose grave was not within the bor
ders of the state, and it is but in
payment of a debt which Gedrgia
owes to her own historic past that
his ashes are brought home.
