OFFICERS CHAMBER COMMERCE RENEW
. EFFORTS
Starting out on the second year of the chamber
of commerce with enthusiasm and determination
surpassing even that of a year ago when the organ
ization was launched, the directors of the Marietta
chamber of commerce are going to map out a plan
and accomplish things during the coming year.
Much has been done to the eredit of the chamber
of commerce since its organization, much can yet be
done in the interest ot the community through co-op- ‘
erative effort and the directors, committees and
members are in one accord that progress shall be
made during the next year.
The loyal support of the membership is absolutely
necessary for the chamber of commerce to succeed,
only this is asked by the directors, they will put
forth the necessary effort and time to assure a wor
thy year of service.
A GENERAL AVERAGE SHOWS COTTON —
A LOSS i
Cobb county cotton growers averaged only 155
pounds of lint cotton to the acre on last years’ erop.
Growing cotton in Cobb county last year resulted in
a direct loss. Of course there were some who made
good money and some who had almost a total loss.
The general average has te be taken when you fig
ure the prosperity of the community.
The above average shows that cotton growing is
not as certain to yield a profit as several years ago
and that only intensive cultivation and careful man.
agement will justify planting to the crop.
+' With few boll weevils showing up to damage the
early erop this year, the average yield will probably
be much better than last. Farmers in this section
are also beginning to manage their cotton acreage
better and will no doubt be able to make the general
average per acre show up greater in the future.
- COMMUNITY LOYALTY IS NECESSARY
FOR PROSPERITY
Buy it at home and build up your own community
was one of the key notes sounded at the annual
meeting of the chamber of commercd Wednesday
night of last week.
Communfiity loyalty is just as necessary as loyalty
in business or in a family. A community or town
can prosper when the citizens feel a pride in patron
izing home industry and keeping the money at
home. Tt helps the other citizen to be able to spend
the money you paid him right back where vou will
have the second chance to get benefit from it.
Remember that a dollar sent away seldom returns
to local circulation and its local eireulation of mon
ey that makes business good in all lines.
SCHOOL CHILDREN'S ANSWERS
The following are some quotations from recent
publie school examination papers:
A blizzard is the inside or a hen,
A cirele is a round, straight line with a hole in
the middle.
George Washington married Mary Curtis and in
due time became father of his country,
Sixty gallons makes one hedge-hog.
A mountain range is a large cook stove.
Pompeii was destroyed by an eruption of saliva
from the Vatican.
Typhoid fever is prevented by fascination.
Undoubtedly there is room for some inprovement
in the efficiency of the public school system of Geor
gia and there is more ignorance in the state than
needs be. But the above answers were made by
school pupils in the great and prosperous city of
Baltimore, and not by pupils of this state which
some people would have you believe has a monopoly
on ignorance and illiteracy. Of course, the answers
are not representative, but are extreme instnees
picked out from many papers. A like number of
such answers could be found in examination papers
of pupils in any city the sizeof Baltimore.
WHERE IS THE IDEAL HOME?
It would seem that any one financially able to
own and live in one of the most palatial Fifth Ave
nue homes in New York would be satisfied with it
as a place of residence. But it is not so. Mrs. Cor
nelius Vanderbilt has sold her Fifth Avenue home,
the ‘largest individually owned residential property
in Manhattan and said to be worth more than
$7,000,000. Mrs. Vanderbilt is displeased with the
encroachment by business buildings on Fifth Ave
nue and when a tall building was put up on a corner
opposite her property she did not like the long shad
ow it cast over her beautiful house. So she deter
mined to sell out.
The incident shows that there is no difference in
human nature and that neither righ or poor are for
ever satisfied with what they possess. The person who
lives in a log cabin imagines that it would be the
height of happiness to own just a plain frame house
as a home ; the one who lives in a frame house desires
la better residence. And so it goes on up in degrees
until Fifth Avenue’s most palatial home is reached
and even there we find its owner and oceupant want
ing something different and better., We wouldn’t
suppose the goal for a perfectly‘satisfactory house
in every particular is ever reached this side of heav
en. An ideal home would be a kind of heaven it
self, .
THE TWO GREAT EMPLOYERS
The news columns tells us that there are 162,792
people working for Henry Ford, not counting the
ones who operate the cars he makes and those who
are working to get money enough to buy a Ford.
The industrial wizard has built up his tremendous
organization in about twenty years. At the present
rate it will not be very much longer until all the
people will be working for either Henry Ford or
the government. 4
If those congressional investigators keep on turn

may become known as the Whitewash House.

The Seventh District A. & M.
School is offering a summer school to
the teachers in the public schools of
the district. This summer institute
will begin on Tuesday, July 1, and
will close with the state examination
of Friday, August 1. The entire cost
for attending this schoo! will be $l6
for board and $4 for incidentals.
The reason for the institute is a
desire on the part of the Seventh Dis
trict A. & M. School to make this in
stitution, during the summer months
when the regular student body is
away, a practical value to the dis
trict. In no way can it serve the
district better than by helping the
teachers of the district to help the
boys and girls at home. Also, there
is a need now for good grade teach
ers in all parts of our state, and by
this means our state school superin
tendent, is trying to solve this need.
It will supply the deficiency and help
those already in the work to advance
to better positions, and to feel a
greater confidence in their work and
therefore more genuine pleasure in
teaching.
Some Reasons for Attending
1. The State examination will be
held on Friday, August 1, at the
close of the institute.
2. The teachers assigned to the
school by State Superintendent N, H.
Ballard, will have furnished them his
idea of essentials, a line of questions
that will be asked on the examina
tions.
3. You will be enabled thereby to
get an idea of the essentials for the
examinations. You will be prepared
to secure a better grade of license.
4. You will be better prepared to
render service at your school next
year.
5. You will receive inspiration for
your work.
The State school superintendent
will make all the assignments as to
the faculty of the institute. To
quote from him “The faculty of
these schools will be, as far as pos
sible, master teachers. The student
body will be organized into classes
and taught by master teachers the
same subjects they will present in

Marietta, Ga., June 26, 1924.
To the White Voters of Cobb
County: .
I hereby announce my candidacy
for the Legislature, as one of the
members to be elected from Cobb
county, subject to the rules and reg
ulations of the white Democratic pri
mary called for Sept. 10, 1924.
In the special election of July 16,
1923, I was a candidate to fill the va
cancy caused by the untimely death
of Hon. Herbert Clay. In this elec
tion I admittedly received a majority
of the white votes of the county.
The opposition to my.candidacy at
that time organized and voted the
negroes, male and female, solidly
against me. In making this race I
stand upon all the principles pub
lished in my platform at that time,
and now I reaffirm my allegiance to
those principles and in addition
thereto I stand everlastingly for the
eternal principle of a government
ruled exclusively and entirely by the
white voters of Georgia. I hold that
no necessity or expediency of faction
or clique has any right to impair or
tamper with this principle of white
supremacy.
My fight is a common fight of all

diate any effort to bring the negro
back as an equal of our white men
and women at the ballot bof.
If elected, I promise a faithful per
formance of the duties of this office
and will endeavor, at all times, to
represent the people of this county to
the very best of my ability.

Resvectfully submitted,

Marietta, Ga., June 26, 1924.
To the White People of Cobb
County:
Two years ago vou honored me by
election as one of your Representa
tives in the Lower House of the Gen
eral Assembly of Georgia. I have
<erved you in one session and yester
day began service in the second ses
sion of mv term. In the last session
I labored hard and earnestly to carry
out vour will and wishes. In this
session just begun all the energy and
abilitv of which lam possessed will
be enlisted to guard and promote
your every interest.
Mv record in last years’ session is
a matter of general knowledge and
nnon this record T come to you my
friends and neighbors for your en
dorsement.
The Legislature will be in session
from now until a short time prior to
the primary and my duties there will
prevent me from making an active
canvas of the county. I refuse to
neglect my duties there to further
my candidacy and leave my interest
in the hands of the voters of the
county.
I want to take this opportunity of
thanking the white men and women
of Cobb county who have so highly
honored me and assure them that my
highest ambition is to make them a
worthv, hanest and efficient Repre
sentative.
Your vote and influence will be
greatly appreciated.
Respectfully,
Chas. M. Head.
To the People of Cobb County:
I am a candidate for the Legisla
ture from Cobb ‘county, subject to
the Democratic primary, to be held
in September. Your vote and influ
ence will be greatly appreciated.
As I see it there is entirely too
much legislation, the people ecan
hardly keep up with the new laws,
and most of those passed each year
amount to but little, and like faulty
fruit, fall, decay and are forgotten
before the people get acquainted
with or can adjust themselves and
their business to them.
If elected I promise faithful ser
vice, and shall try to represent all
the people impartially.
Respectfully,
R. A. Hill.
