A Delightful Occasion Was
The Visit of Secret
' Order Men.
A ride around Kennesaw Mountain
and through the Federal Cemetery in
automobiles, a lunch spread under
the shade of* the beautiful elms in the
city’s park, a visit to a cotton field,
with old time negroes picking cotton
to the music of their favorite melo
dies, an examination of the largest
chicken farm in the State—all this
accompanied with agsurances of a real
southern welcome, and responded to
by expressions of the highest delight'
and appreciation—these are the lead-‘
ing and major features of the visit of |
officers and members of the Sovereign
Lodge of Oad Fellows, Saturday after
noon to Marietta and Cobb county.
It was practically the whole town]
that turned out to greet the visitors,
and the reception accorded them was, 1
though unique and unusual, one
thoroughly characteristic of the sin
cere Southener. And how the visitors
teemed pleased and delighted—it was
well worth one’s time to look and
b listen.
Five special cars on the electric
line, loaded bevond their seating ca
pacity, rolled on to the public square
atl:3o o’clock., Many of the delegates
were accompanied by their wives and
daughters, and, all told, there were
4bout three hundred and fifty Short-
ly afterwards, an L. and N. train,i
“onsisting of eight or nine Pullmans, |
discharged an equal number at th9‘
*tation. Without a hitch, and with
perfect system, both parties were
Funv.imed seats in automobiles, and
were whizzed around historic Kenne-
Saw and through the National Ceme
ery. A great many were driven over
the city, and, on this trip, were en
abled to see the Confederate cemetery
lmmediately after the completion of
the auto ride, the crowd assembled in
the city park, where Mayor Clay wel
tomed the vigitors on behalf of the city
faying that Marietta was particularly
lad to have . the presence of those
delegates from gections in the north

and east, since to Marietta goes the
honor of being the first town in the
country in which state troops ever
took part in the Memorial day exer
cises. This, he said, was simply
another proot that the scars of the 60°s
have entirely bealed, and made the
point that the annual gathering of
men bound by fraternalties has done
possibly more than any other one
thing to bring about this reconcilia
tion.
Mr. John B. Cockrum, deputy grand
sire, who is to be elected grand sire,
made a short reply to Mayor Clay’s
speech. Mr. Cockrum spoke of the
great pleasure he felt in being present;
of how deeply grateful he felt for the
cordiality with which the town had
opened her arms to the visitors, many
of them northerners, and assured his
hearers that he voiced the sentiment
of not only his own state, but of the
great north and east, when he said
he loves the south second only to his
own state.
Mr. Cockrum was followed by Col.
John A. Hynds, of Atlanta, who made
ia short talk, thanking the city on be
half of the visitors for the reception
l extended.
Then it was lunch time, and the
crowd paid attention to the repast
prepared by the ladies of the city,
spread upon improvised tables in the
‘walks of the park. It was a nice
| luncheon, the leading feature of which
lwas chicken fried as it should be fried,
followed by watermelons just from the
‘vines, with lots and various delicacies
in between.
At the conclusion the crowd petook |
themselves to the cars, where they
said goodbye to the newly made ,\lari-‘
etta friends, and proceeded to Bel
mont. Here it was that they <aw‘
sights entirely new to the greater |
number of them. Mr. J. Gid Morris/
had a field of open cotton, with old |
time darkeys picking, and it was this
that caught the visitors. Many car
ried away bolls, and even whole stalks
of the Southern staple, as souvenirs.
From Mr. Morris’ place, the guests
were taken to the Belmont stock and
poultry farm, ard found much to
interest them here.
It was about five o'clock that the
visitors boarded the cars for Atlanta.
‘The ofticial Marietta committee hav
ing charge the various details of the
occasion, consisted of the following
well known citizens: Reception, H.

they already were of the delegates.

essary information were distributed

their purpose conveniently. At the

OF STATE PRISONERS.
Five Men Secure Freedom
from Enforced Con
finement.
Some time between eleven o’clock
Thursday night and four o’clock Fri
day morning, five prisoners made their
escape from the Cobb county jail.
The tive men who sought and obtain.
ed freedom were Jobnson Flanigan,
convicted of murder and under sen
tence to the penitentiary for life, and
whose case 1s now in the Supreme
Court; Buck Williame, for gambling;
Will Turner, trespassing; Lewis
Williams, shooting at another; Walter
Dendy, larceny.
Flanigan was retaken Friday after
noon near Lost Mountain by Mr,
James Hardage, constable of Oregon
district, The officer was making a
gearch for the men at the time, and
unexpectedly ran upon Flanigan in
the public road, headed towards Mari
etta, and seemed, Mr. Hardage states,
to be lost. He claimed however, to be
on his way to Marietta, intending to
surrender.
The other four men are still at large,
and the officers are doing all in their
power to capture them, having tele
phoned and telegraphed over a large
area of the surrounding country. Itis
believed that these men, not being
charged with very serious crimes, will
not go far away, and they will finally
be returned to prison.
The four defendants were confined
in a cell of the lower tier, from which,
several years ago, there had been an
escape of several men by sawing out,
In repairing the cell, the workman
used a prece of iron plate, fastened to
the two nearest bars with bolts and
nuts, One of these bolts had been
sawed apart, and, the piece of plate on
the other side acted as a hinge, mak
ing it & light task to get out of the
cell.
t Once in the corridor, the prisoners
found it an easy matter to remove two
' bars covering the window, and in this
way secured their freedom.
The only instrument the men were
known to have in their possession was
Misses’ Shoes.

eleven o’clock Thursday night, and
that no evidence of anything out of
the ordinary was then seen. Flanigan,
on his return to jail, says he heard
Mr. Kincaid in the yard at that time,
and that the escapes were made halfan
hour later. Flanigan also says he was
the last man to leave, and that he saw

Chickamaugu Saturday when the
Convention met to nominate Gordon
Lee for Congress,
The convention was a side issue.
Mr. Lee had provided a barbecue for
over 6,000 and the crowd was there to
enjoy it. The big dinner required
3,600 pounds of meat and 1,600 loaves
of bread. Mr. Lee has one of the most
beautiful homes in the state and made
the day one long to be remembered.
The platform ig said to have had
the right ring, and there is no reason to
doubt it, for any committee on resolu
tions could whoop things up with the
woods full of barbecue. Hon. W. C.
Bunn, of Cedartown, was chairman of
that committee.
When Mr. Lee had been nominated
he was presented to the conveation by
Judge Branham, of Rome, and made
an excellent address of acceptance.

tive committee of the Seventh District:
