All Stores Will
‘Give Employees
- Holiday July 4th
The Marietta Advertising Club has
issued a request to all places of bus
iness in Marietta asking them to close
on July 4th and give their employees
a holiday. The president of the ad
club made a statement to the effect
that all stores will close. It has al
ways been. the custom in Marietta to
make the Glorious Fourth just as
much a holiday as Christmas and let
all working people have the whole
day off and enjoy themselves to the
greatest extent. Among the enter
tainments for that day are the con
tests at the Golf Club and the base
ball games and field meet at the base
ball field.
CONVENTION AT A
DEADLOCK ON 54TH
BALLOT THURSDAY
McAdoo Holds His Own; Ralston
Leads Dark Horses. Favorite
Sons Remain in Fight
At the end of the fifty-fourth bal
lot, the Democratic National Conven
tion still stands at a deadlock. The
number of ballots has broken all pre
vious records but one and that was
when Douglas was nominated on the
fifty-ninth ballot many years ago.
Wednesday night McAdoo reached
his high mark with 505 1-2 votes, but
has now dropped off to 437. Missou
ri went to Davis Tuesday and caused
a great deal of excitement in the Me-
Adoo ranks but her 36 votes went
back for McAdoo Wednesday night.
Wednesday Mississippi changed back
from Davis to McAdoo on the thirty
fourth ballot.

doo and made a speech while being
hooted by Smith’s crowd in the gal
leries, and cheered by many of the
delegates. Davis being accused of
being tied to Wall Street and big in
terests, his friends circulated litera
ture in his. behalf showing that he
has been the council not only of the
Standard Oil Co., but the plate glass
blowers’ union, the Irish Free State,
Eugene V. Debbs, Tammany Hall and
‘Mother Jones” of West Virginia.
~ On the fifty-third ballot Ralston,
of Indiana, was leading the dark
horses with a vote of ninety-two.
It is impossible to tell yet who will
win, but it is thought by most people
that neither of the two leaders—Me-
Adoo and Smith—will be nominated.
The vote for the leaders at the end
of the fifty-fourth ballot stood as fol
lows: McAdoo 437, Smith 320, Ral
ston 92 and Cox 69.
Many native sons who have only
received a handful of votes still cling
to the convention, preventing a
choice being made.
Eight Members of the Local Camp
Have Passed
Away
A memorial service will be held at
the Second Baptist church at 3 p. m.
on the second Sunday in July in com
memoration of members of the local
camp of Confederate Veterans who
have died during the past twelve
months. To this service their rela
tives and friends with all ex-Confed

every store in town participating.
Eleven thousand circulars were sent

any previous Golden Rule Sales and
that is going some. One of the big
features of the day will be the auc
tion sale on Mill street beginning at
nine o’clock. The president of the
Ad Club says that there was a regu
lar “cloudburst” of articles listed for
the last sale and the crowd was the

more articles are anticipated on

Park Committee .
Puts New Flower
Bed in the Park
Another improvement to make our
park more beautiful is the new flower
bed that has recently been built on
the northwest side of the park. The
bed is made of brick and the same
bronze statue that once shot forth
water from the fountain is in the
center holding an electric globe and
adding beauty to the bed. Our park
now is as pretty as any in the state,
thanks to the park committee that
has worked hard to make it so.
DIREGTORS TO OUTLINE
PROGRAM FOR C. OF C.
AT AN EARLY DATE
It has been one meeting right af
ter another with the newly elected
board of directors of th Marietta
Chamber of Commerce—the cause of
it all being that they are getting
things in shape to present to the
membership a program of work for
the coming year. It will take some
days yet to complete the program,
but when it comes, every member will ‘
be expected to pull off their coats
and dig right into the work just like
the newly elected board is doing. '
It is useless to comment further on |
the work accomplished du the
past year. Much more moml
plished than was hoped for, even
though some thinge were not done'
that some of us wanted—but then, itl
takes time to do gll things and flh‘
‘Marietta Chamber of Commerce is
Ralph J. Hancock, the newly elec-|
ted president, is going right into the
work with a determination that does'
not spell defeat and he will be backed
by every other member of the board
of directors, and it is up to every'
member and every interested citizen
of Marietta and Cobb county to falll
right in line and go forward with a
mighty force during the coming year.
The board of directors hold regu-'
lar meetings every two weeks, how-!
ever, many special called meetings
are held between periods, and a spe
cial invitation is extended to each |
and every member to attend any or
all of these meetings. Many mem
bers who may not be in position to
attend other meetings of the organ
ization have the privilege of attend
ing the directors meetings, and you'
may rest assured that if you have any
suggestions or criticisms to offer they
will be gladly accepted. |
Every member must do his or her
part in the work of the organization
if real results are to be accomplished, |
so let’s all work together with but
one single thought in view—that of
a greater Marietta and Cobb county. '
