HON. BEN F. PERRY WRITES OF
THE CHANGE. !
0 JourNAL AND CoURIER READERS:
The re-organization of the Marietta
Journal has a peculiar interest to me,
and while saddened that Neal and Mas
sey are to retire from actual newspaper
work, yet the readers of the Joarnal
may be congratulated that the paper
will be 1n charge of others in every way
capable, honest and fearless in the dis
charge of duties 8o vitally concerned
with the life, progress a§d right devel
opment of not only the fleld in which
they are to labor, but as well upon the
upbuilding, morals and growth of their
readers.
Josiah Carter, the managing spirit in
the re-organization and econsolidation
of the Journsal and Courier, is a man in
every way worthy, capable and experi
enced from long service with some of
the leading weeklies and dailiea of
Georgia and at New York—a man train
ed on a country weekly, who knows
and and appreciates not only the every
day instincts and nature of those in
humbler walks, but as well those who
oceupy more exalted positionsin social,
financial and political life—familiar
with the important questions of the
day and the home life, surroundings
and conditions of the whole people.
\ Knowing Mr. Carter and his execu
‘tive ability as I do, I venture nothing
‘in saying that his associates ,on the
&Journal and Courier have been and will
|be selected with a view to their fitness,
‘tact and adaptability for the special
work assigned each; hence every de
partment will be replete in its make-up
| and full of interest to the patrons of the
}‘paper. Therefore, lam gratified, and
feel that Marietta and ail of Cobb coun
ty may, with pardonable prile, con
tinue to boast of her newspaper as one
of the best, if not the beet, and strong
est weeklies in the State, and that the
change in no way detracts from its
standing among the Fourth Estate, but
rather puts it far in the lead.
~ While all of this, and even more, is
peculiarly gratifying to me, yet there
is a tinge of sadness in the transfer of
the interest 8o long held and owned by
Noah Neal and John Massey, who have
spent a most usefal life-time almost in
the service of the people of Marietta
and of Cobb county in the successful
ond conservative conduct and manage
ment of the Journal. It was my good
fortune to be associated with them for
several years, back in the ‘‘seventies’’—
to serve my ‘‘devilship’’ and apprentice
ship under them—and hence the pecu
liar interest I feel in the past, present
and future history of the Journal. To
these men, whatever of success I may
have attained in the field of journalism
or in other vocations of life, is largely
due the correct habits and training re
ceived while ‘‘rolling the forms,”
*‘pulling the press,’” ‘‘scicking type’’ or
‘‘delivering papers.”” I can never for
get them, nor would if I could. Their
devotion to duty, conservatism at all
times, faithfulness, honesty, uniform
courtesy and personal interest in and
for every citizen and enterprise about
them has largely made Marietta and
Cobb county what it is—one of the pret
tiest, most progressive and enterpris
ing sections of our state, and her peo
ple foremost in all that tends to correct
ideals and right living. A gem in the
galaxy of cities and counties! In lay
ipg down the editorial tripod, these
men may have the satisfaction of know
ing that their labors for forty years
have been well done and are appreci
ated, and that success has crowned
their efforts, which is the more gratify
ing to their friends.
In a cursory resume of the Journal,
it is almost like history repeating itself
that in the re-organization of the paper
my son, Clarence A. Perry, should be
associated in its future weltare and
service to the people, and, therefore, I
would especially ask a héarty co opera
tion from the people of Cobb county,
my native home, for the snccess of the
Journal and Courier, which I am sure
will deserve continued and increasing
patronage, and will be a great help and
inspiration to all in the continued up
building and prosperity of the best eec
tion of Georgia.
With greetings to all friends of Iwy
boyhood days and of later years, and to
everybody who loves Marietta, Cobb
county and Cherokee Georgia, I beg to
assure you that I am yet one of you

Gray Who Was Sentenced to
Seven Years Gets
New Trial.
The hearing of the extraordinary mo
tion for new trial for Horace Gray took
place before Judge Morris Monday and
a new trial was granted.
Gray was released on furnishing bond
in the snm of $5OO. He left the Cobb
county jail in company with his father
Monday evening for his home in Mis
sissippi.
It will be remembered that Gray was
convicted at the March term of the Su
perior court of passing a forged express
money order on the Southern Express
Company, of this city on December
2nd, 1908.
Mr. Robertson, manager of the Ex
press Company here, identified Gray a
few months later as the man who had
passed the worthless money order for
$5O through this office, and his testi
mony convicted Gray at that time, and
and Judge Morris gave him a sentence
of seven years in the penitentiary.
Col. H. B, Moss, of this city, repre
sented Gray, and after sentence had
been passed he appealed the case to the
Court of Appeals, but that tribunal sus
tained the verdict.
Col. Moss then began to communicate
with Gray’s father in Mississippi, and
with jail officials in Omaha, Neb,, in
which city Gray claimed he was in jail
when the money orders were passed
here on Dec. 2nd, 1908.
An extraordinary motion for a new
trial was made and when the case came
up Monday, Frank F. Osborn, Deputy
Sheriff of Douglass county, Nebraska,
and U. S. Marshal J. H. Proctor, of
Omaha, Neb., were here as witnesses for
the defendant, and swore positively that
Gray was in jail in Omaha, Neb., from
September 28th, 1908, to January 1, 1909,
having been put in jail for using . the
mails for fraudulent purposes. They
had jail records and letters of identifi
cation which convinced Judge Morris
that the defendant was entitled to a new
trial. and upon this testimony, granted
another hearing.
It is “said Gray's father is a wealthy
planter of Mississippi, and when Colonel
Moss communicated with him concern
ing his son, he offered his time and
money to assist Gray in securing his
freedom.
Col. Moss was assisted in the proceed
ings by Clay & Morris.
This case has created considerable
interest in this county, and Colonel Moss
has received many congratulations on
account of his success in gaining a new
trial for his client.

Brooklyn Man Claims to
Have Reached the Goal
So Long Sought.
Dr. Frederick Cook, of Brooklyn,
N. Y., anoted explorer, has accord
ing to dispatches dated Lerwick,
Shetland Islands, discovered the
North Pole.
Dr. Cook claims to have reached the
pole on April 21, 1908. after a long and
arduous march with dogs and Eski
mos,
After giving an account of his jour
ney over the ice, Dr. Cook says :
‘‘On April 21st we had reached 89
degrees 59 minutes 46 seconds. The
pole was in sight. We covered the re
maining fourteen seconds and made a
few final observations. I told Etuki
shok and Ahwelsh (the accompanying
Eskimos) that we had reached the
‘‘Great Nail.”” Everywhere we turned
was south, With a single step we
could pass from one side of the earth
to the other; from midday to mid
night.
‘‘At last the flag floated to the breeze
at the Pole. It was April 21st, 1908,
The temperature was minus 38 centi
grade, barometer 29.83, latitude 90; as
for the longitude it was nothing, as it
was but a word.
‘‘Although crazy with joy our spir
its began to undergo a feeling of wear
iness. Next day, after taking all our
observations, a sentiment of intense
solitude penetrated us while we looked
at the horizon. Was it gossible that
this desolate region, without a patch
of earth, had aroused the ambition of
o many men for so many centuries ?
There was no ground, only an im
mensity of dazzling white snow; no
living being, no point to break the
frightful monotony.
“‘On April 23rd we started on our
return.”’
What's In a Man.
“All the constituents of a 150
pound man are contained in 1,200
eggs,” said the chemist.
“There is enough gas in a man,”
he went on, “to fill a gasometer of
3,649 cubic feet. There is enough
iron to make four nsils. There is
enough fat to make seventy-five
candles and a large cake of soap.
There is enough phosphorus to
make 8,064 boxes of matches.
“There is enough hydrogen in
him to fill a balloon and carry him
up to the clouds. The remaining
constituents of a man would yield,
if utilized, six cruets of salt, a bowl
of sugar and ten gallons of water.”
No wonder the psalmist.said, “I
am fearfully " and wonderfully
made.”—Baltimore Sun. *
A Hypothetical Knockout.
The attorney for the defense had
just completed the reading of his
hypothetical question. He looked
at the clock. It had taken him one
hour and twenty-six minutes. He
looked at the witness.
“You have heard the question?”
he said. |
The witness nodded.
“And what is your answer ?”
The witness wriggled uneasily.
“I guess I didn’t just catch th’
drift of it,” he apologetically re
marked. “Won’t you please read it
again ?” e
And the presiding judge fell back
with a hollow groan. — Cleveland
