WAR MUSEUM AND OBSERVATION TOWER ON KENNESAW
Hamilton Too Much For Taters.
‘““Goat’’ Cochran Not So Strong
As Expected Such Weather
el
The sun was sizzling hot, and the
bleachers bleached, and not a breeze
to cool the crowd except those in
curred by Tate batters fanning was
the weather gituation at Brown’s ball
park Wednesday afternoon when the
largest attendance of the season wit
nessed the sound drubbing given the
visiting Taters by the local color
bearers. Hamilton pitched a- game
for Marietta that was simply out of
the question for opposing contenders
to use for scoring purposes. The
only question about the game was
how many scores would Marietta be
able to add on the .debit side of
“Goat” Cochran’s ledger. The final
inventory showed the “Goat” should
account for five complete trips with
nothing to offset the item.
Hamilton, star pitcher for the Mer
cer nine last season, came across with
some of the most invincible pitching
Cy Hawkin’s proteges had ever seen.
They just couldn’t get onto his slants
and curves. For nine innings these
husky marble-cutters chopped and
swung at everything Hamilton
pitched, and when the dust of the bat
tle had drifted away they had gath
coming in the ninth, and “nary” run.
Captain Pug’s men had better luck
with the deliveries of Goat Cochran,
the Atlanta fireman, who was on
mound duty for Tate. As early as
the third inning Partridge connected
with a safety which proved conclu
s'ively that hits could be made. Af
ter this inning Bryant’s men held a
hasty parley and it was decided that
in the next inning a heavy barrage
should be laid over Cochran. Big
Boy Parrish was the first to connect
with the ball for a swat that meant
4 hit. Wall had even better luck. The
first ball pitched was not exactly to
suit him but just for the fun of the
thing he knocked a two"bager, the
longest hit of the game. This had
more to do with the runs that fol
lowed than one might think. For it
gave new life to the players and it
made the rooters forget how uncom
fortable they really were.
For two innings it had been three
up and three down, neither side appa
rently with any advantage. In the

| valley lilies, completed by a tulle veil
'held in place by a coronet of orange
,blossoms. The exquisite bouquet of
orchids showered with valley lilies

seau display complete in every detail
from filmy lingerie to stunning hats
and gowns. g

I dows of Florence’s store to be always

ried out in compliment to the June
' brides in Marietta.

Ralph Grogan Stabbed By Sister
With an Ice Pick, and By
Woman With Knife
Last week the local police took’into
custody Pauline Grogan, negress 16,
and Clara Garrett, negress 20, for
the murder of Ralph Grogan, negro
17. He died as the result of an ice
pick wound in his neck, dealt by
Pauline Grogan, and a knife wound
in his shoulder, dealt by Clara Gar
rett.
According to witnesses Ralph and
Pauline, his cister, children of Will
Grogan, a farmer on the Powder
Powder Springs road, were quarreling
over a dime when she stabbed him
through the back of his neck with an
ice-pick which was 'closg at hand. The
next day Ralph, seemingly recover
ing, had a squabble with Clara and
she thrust a knife blade ¥into his
shoulder. Blood poison developed
and two weeks later Ralph died. Au
thorities believe the ice-pick delivered
the fatal wound, but both womgn
were placed in the county jail. Clara
was released on bond but Pauline is
being held until further investigation.
Neither women tried to make their
escapt ag the wounds were not
thought serious at the time. An in
dictment on a murder charge will be
sought.
Superior Court would act as members
of the new commission with controll
ing power. The bill if passed by the
state legislature will be referred to
the people of Cobb county for ratifi
cation or rejection. :
The proposed bill will be published
in full in the Journal next week.

Architect Looking Over Situation
Before Drawing Plans. Work to
Start at Early Date
An important and attractive proe
ject in connection with the Kennesaw
Mountain Memorial is being planned
by the ladies of the U, D. C. through
a concession from the Association for
a monumental museum and observa
tion tower to be built on the top of
Kennesaw mountain out of stone.
The proposed museum and tower
is to be sponsored by the local chap
ter U. D, C. and is to be supported
by the chapters throughout the state
of Georgia. The museum will be
used to store and display war relics
of the Confederacy and the observa~
tion tower will be built fifty feet high
equipped with an electric elevator.
The Daughters of the Confederacy
will share in the revenues from the
project which will be operated under
their supervision.
Mr. P. Thornton Marye, of Marye,
Alger & Alger, architects, of Atlan~
ta, is in Marietta this week looking
over the situation preparatory to
making drawings of the proposed
building,

tion and will draw hundreds of vis
itors here to see the war relics and

play ground in the city park from
3:30 p. m. until 6:30 p. m. every af
ternoon but Sunday.

fare of the children and see that no
one child monopolizes a single appa
ratus, and to report to the policemen
any obreakage so that it might be
fixed immediately. The Y. W, C. A,
will continue to co-operate with the
park committee in this way until a
permanent supervisor is secured.
The following ladies served this
week: Mrs, Mac Fowler, Mrs. Chan
dler, Mrs. Langford, Mrs. M. R. Gat
lin, Miss Mary Nichols, Mrs. Frank
Hardeman, Mrs. Stuart Milam, Mrs.
P. L. McDaniel, Mrs. Betty Smith
