Democratic Convention Geis
Through Naming Candidaies
STAGED WHEN W'ADOB
Al Smith, of New York, Appears
to Be Next Strongest Man to
Georgian in Convention
The Democratic convention which
met in New York City on Tuesday
had completed getting the names of
the various candidates and favorite
sons before the convention, planning
a platform and completing organiza
tions up to the time of going to press
and the convention expegts to: get
down to the real voting Friday morn
ing.
Noisy demonstrations lasting an
hour and a half were staged when
the name of W. G. McAdoo was
placed in nomination by his manager
Judge David Rockwell, likewise a
demonstration lasting about the same
time was staged when Al Smith, of
New York, was named.
The situation so far as a nomina
tion is concerned remains about the
same as before the wconvention con
vened. Mr. McAdoo has about half
of the delegates, Smith about one
third and the balance scattered
among favorite sons.
After the balloting getls under way
tomorrow some reasonable indica
tions can be gained about the final
outcome, but the situation at present
is doubtful for any candidate. Mr.
McAdoo at present is the only candi
date with enough votes to near the
two-thirds necessary for nomination.
The convention is marked by the
bitterness of New York newspapers
and citizens toward McAdoo and his
supporters. They have even resort
ed to rudeness to embarrass Mr. Mec-
Adoo’s campaign.
DIVIDEND T 0 8 P. C.
New Home For Banking Institu
tion Will Be Occupied by July
10th is Present Plan
About the 10th of July the Mer
chants & Farmers Bank, of Marietta,
will move into their handsome new
bank situated on the north side of
the Public Square. This building,
which will be used exclusively for
banking purposes, was designed by
Morgan & Dillon, of Atlanta, and is
one of the most modern and up to
date banking houses in North Geor
gia.
At a recent meeting of the board
of directors, another semi-annual
dividend of 4 per cent was declared,
payable July Ist. The total resour
ces of the bank during the past
twelve months have made a gain of
over $200,000, making the resources
of the bank now over half a million
dollars.
One of the most important fea
tures of the bank, from the view
point of depositors, is the largef
eihteen-inch reinforced concrete
vault with its massive door, which
weighs over 11,000 pounds and which
is drill and trch proof and burglar
proof. This is possibly one of the
largest vault doors of any bank in
the State of Georgia. ¢
When the Merchants & Farmers
bank moves into their new home they
will have ample facilities for render
ing every banking service and they
have a capable and efficient person
nel to gee that every patron is given
prompt and courteous attention. Hav
ing reached the half million mark the
bank will place the million as their
new goal and with the new facilities
will no doubt make great progress
toward the mark.
The unusual success and progress
of the Merchants & Farmers bank
during the past few years is attribu
table to the popularity of it officers,
their keen appreciation of the servi
ces expected by their customers and
their business-like way of meeting
this demand. |

Court; 9 Speeders
At the Mayor’s court Monday,
21 cases were brought up and
every defendant was fned, There
were nine gpeeding wases and the fine
ranged from five to fifteen dollars.
It seems that the speeders of Mari
etta have not yet realized that the
police mean business in their war on
reckless driving. Seven charged with
disorderiv conduct were fined from
five to fifteen dollars; six of the of
fenders were negroes and one was a
white man. Two were put in the cal
aboose because they were unable to
pay the fine. Only one drunk was
brought up this time and he was
fined seven dollars and a half. Two
were found guilty of swinging a train
and their fine was five dollars each.
Monday night's court tried an un
usually large number of cases bat
as @ whole the number of cases has
be¢n getting smaller gradually.

LINDLEY W. CAMP
Candidate For Representative From
Cobb County
Shut Out Route Used on Oppo
nents During the Past Weeks
Bchedule
.a real ball club can hit, the Marietta
lads, led by captain “Pug,” went on
a hitting spree Wednesday after
noon and after two hours and nine
innings of good batting practice won
the second game of a two game se
ries from New Holland. Marietta
scored eleven runs while the Dutch
men were getting a big round goose
eRR to show their folks back home.
~ “Shut-out” Hamilton, Marietta’s
portside twirler, was on the mound
for the home crew and his superb
pitching just naturally made New
Holland look bad. He gave up only
three hits, none of them bearing an
extra base tag. The first five men
to face him were given a return pass
to the players bench by the strike
out route, Hamilton is setting a pre
cedent for pitchers by his hitting.
Wednesday, out of four trips to the
plate, he hit safely twice, both
scorching liners to deep center.
The onslaught in the second in
ning by the “fighting smokers” was
enough for the New Hollanders. The
six runs scored in this inning appa
rently took all the life-from them and
they blew up like a canyon breeze.
Joe Barton, newly acquired pitcher
and fielder, got safe at first on short
stops error. Maurier, the next man
up, socked a hot one through the
pitcher’s hand and both he and Bar
ton were safe, and scored on the
next play when the catcher threw the
ball away. None out. Wall was
walked and Eskew sacrificed. Ham
ilton then came to bat and knocked
a clean gingle, the first hit of the
game. Partridge walked and the
bases were as full as a wet sponge.
Bryant, next up, connected squarely
with the ball knocking a screaniing
double down the first base line, scor
ing Wall, Hamilton and Partridge.
Freckles Barnes then came to bat
and as usual got a hit. His gsingle
brought in Bryant with the sixth and
final run of this inning, the next two
men grounding out to the pitcher.
The local boys again got next to
Elder's delivery in the eighth inning
and brought in three more rnus, Bry
ant and Barnes again figuring inethe
scoring. “Freckles” and “Pug,” the
first up in this frame each got a sin
gle, Bryant again sending his down
the first base line. Jake Morris then
came to bat and knocked ot a
scorching single scoring the two men
on bases, He came in with the third
run after Wall placed a hot grounder
between shortstop and second base
man,
Elder's pitching for New Holland
should not be given all the blame for
