Thousands of His Friends
Stand Two Hours to Hear
Eulogies.
That which he strove hardest to
be and which he loved most to be
called—"a friend,” was the word
most tenderly and reverently used
by the speakers that paid tribute in
word pictures to the memory of
their distinguished fellow citizen on
Monday afternoon when the hand
some bronze statue of the late
United States Senator, A. S, Clay,
was unveiled in the city park here,
But the words of those with abil
ity to paint beautiful pictures in de
scriptive English by no means ex
ceeded the lasting tribute that was
dedicated to posterity to commem
orate for all time the life of one
who so well deserved the honor
bestowed upon him- The memorial
that stands in the city park, erected
by the spontancous spirit of love of
his fellow citizens and friends is
one of which all our Southland
should be proud. More expensive
monuments may be found in large
numbers, monuments that cost many
times that unveiled on Monday af
ternoon as twilight gathered, but
none more appropriately expressing
its purpose.
As Capt. Fred Morris completed
a short speech introducing the late
Senator’s only daughter, the long
white silk ribbon attached to the
pin that held the veil above the
statuc was handed to Miss Evelyn
Clay, and a moment later the life
size bronze figure of the father who
idolized her, was shown in life
like attitude.
That the bronze figure had lost
most of its brightness during the
time it had stood in wind and rain
awaiting the ceremonies of Monday,
only madé its appearance more life
like as the veil dropped from arouna
it. The characteristic pose and the
strong features tempered with ar.
expression of kindness are wonder
ful, to be composed of mere metal
The memorial entire is one that
indicates an inspired designer. The
beautiful marble used to set off the
the purpose and the clear, pure
water, fiowing from the foun
tains beneath the cluster of
electric lights on each side of the
expansive base is emblematic of th
constant devotion to truth and «e
vicg that marked the lifelong carce
of Senator Clay. Four large :ca
comfortable even though compo.ed
of marble, provide a place wl
one may sit and ponder the great
life of him whose statue stand
above.
The huge block of marble that
suporpts the statute is appropriate
ly engraved on all four sides. On
the front is the following inscrip
tion :
Alexander Stephens Clay,
Citizen, Lawyer, Statesman.
Born on a Cobb County Farm, Sept.
<9, 1853,
Died a Member of the United States
Senate Nov. 13, 1910
His life was largely given to the
service of his people—as council
man of his home city; representa
tive of his county in the general
assembly fo six years, during which
dme he was speaker pro tem. and
specaker of the house; State Sena
tor and president of the Georgia
Senate; elected to the United
States Senate in 1896 and twice re
clected without opposition.
CLaY.
EANT SIDE,
We live in deeds, not years; in
thoughts not breaths; in feelings,
not figures o 1 a dial.
- We should count time by heart
throbs. He most lives who thinks
most, feels the noblest, acts the
best.
NORTH SIDE.
1o the exemplary citizen, faithful
friend, trusted and honored public
servant, this monument is erected
by his friends, who knew him best
and loved him most, as a token of
their love and esteem, and as an
mspiration to noble action to those
wio may come after them,
“Seest thou a man diligent in
business? e shall stand before
kings.”
WEST SIDE.
Guided by lofty ideals, a steadfast
zeal for the right, and a sublime
taith in his people and country, with
an untiring energy he did his duty
as God gave him light to see it.
“After life’s fitful fever he sleeps
well.”
Coi- D. W. Blair was master of
ceremonies and Congressmar
Brantley and Bishop Candler, both
life-long friends of Senator Clay,
were the speakers of the day and
Capt. Fred Morris introduced Miss
Evelyn Clay. |
All four of these gentlemen spokei
with a feeling that could come only
from one who knew and umlcrstOOnH
the life of the man they had come
to nonor,
The largest crowd ever seen inl
Marietta witnessed the ceremonies.
It is ancere regret of the ed 1
tor tl wough in an extra large
ed { » beautiful speeches :m:l
] to publish them all 12
‘ next week,
Judge Morris has been against the
tigers, and they und their friends are
ggainst him. See?

MISS EVELYN CLAY.
Mrs. Candler came up with Bished
Candler to the unvetinz of the Clay
monument Monday afternoon. She
and Mrs. Keeler, Mrs. Blair and Mrs.
Fred Morris were seated on one side
of the monument and Mrs. Clay with
her sons, her grand-son, her daughter,
Miss Evelyn and her three friends
were on the other. These girls who
were with her during the speeches
and the unveiling were Miss Pauline
Boyle, of Uniontown, Pa., a chum and
class’ ate from the Hamilton School
in ¥ shington City, Miss Christine
Do’ , daughter of ex-Mayor Dobbs of
M etta, and Miss Lamar Latham,
of Washington, D. C. They were spe
cial favorites of her father and her
friends and playmates from earliest
childbood. It is no small compliment
to these lovely young girls to have
been selected by so fine a judge of
character as Senator Clay for inti
mate association with the daughter he
both idealized and idolized.
The Tigers and their friends want
a Judge who will not charge the
Grand Jury against them. They
have had enough of Judge Morris,

W. A. FLORENCE IN
EAST BUYING GOODS.
Mr. W. A. Florence has gone to Bal
timore and New York to spend about
ten days looking over the newest fas
hion ideas and buying fall goods. He
has gone with the intention of getting
the best in the market as he always
does, and plenty of it, as he is expect
ing a good business this season.

back through the colums of the Journal

Committee Wants Few More
Homes and Little More
Money.
The committee in charge of the
Confederate Reunion to be held on
August 28th, and 29th, report that at
least $500.00 more must be raised
to meet the actual estimated expenses,
and that more homes must be procur
ed. These old men who fought brave
ly for four years in defense of our
homes, who suffered untold hardships,
should be made comfortable when
they become the guests of Marietta
and Cobb county. A simple statement
calling attention to the fact that more
funds and homes are needed should
be sufficient. You, together with ev
eryone else, want some part in this
undertaking. The committee cannot
possibly see everyone, so send your
subscription or number of veterans
you can take to one of the under
signed at once, and put them in a
position to furnish plenty of tood and
a bed for every man who wore the
Gray. Don’t delay. The time is
short, and the arrangements must be
made at once.
Respectfully,
E Fred Morris, Chrm,,
J. R. Fowler, Treas.,
J. H. Groves, Sec’ty.
NEW MOVING PICTURE
THEATRE OPEN SOON
Suggest the name for the new thea
tre on Atlanta street and get $5.00
in gold. This amount is offered by the
owners of this new moving picture
house to the person who suggests the
best name for the theatre. See the
advertisement on page three.
You had better think hard before
making a suggestion for everybody
is going to try for the prize and the
theatre is certainly worthy of any
name you might think of. Nothing has
been left undone that would add
beauty, comfort or convenience.
The theatre was designed by Mi.
D. S. Tennent of Marietta, and when
completed will be as pretty as any
in the state. The entrance is at the
rear of a high arch, studded with elec
tric lights and the floor and steps are
of marble. Regular opera chairs will
be placed on a well inclined flooor
assuring a good view of the pictures
and comfort to the patrons.
There are two exits into the alley
at the side of the building besides the
regular exit in front, which will be
capable of any emergency that might
arise.
A fine electric piano has been pur
chased and plenty of electric fans
have been installed. The celling is
ibout twenty feet high and the entire
room is well ventilated. It is hoped
by the proprietors to have the thea
tre ready to open next Saturday.
REMINGTON RIFLES FOR
AMERICAN BOY SCOUTS
American Boy Scouts, 300,000
strong, are to have an official arm—
a special model 22-calibre Reming
ton.UMC rifle—says a dispatch from
the New York headquarters of the
organization. For a long time the
boys have been drilling with broom
sticks, staffs and a variety of guns.
Now every scout is to be armed
alike with a real “‘grown-up”’ mod
el firearm.
Of course, the scouts will not be
allowed to use the guns except when
in charge of competent ‘instructors.
They will he taught to know and to
respect firearms and will be shown
how to avoid the accidents that
sometimes happen even to adults
who have just “‘picked up” gun
knowledge.
PUBLIC SPEAKING.
Herbert Clay will close his campaign
for Solicitor-General of the Blue Ridge
Circuit with a speech at the Court
House in the City of Marietta on the
night of August 20th, at 7:30 p. m.

A Heavy Vote 1s Expected
Throughout The Blue Ridge
Circuir.
Next Wednesday the state election
for Governor, Judges, Solicitor Gen
erals, state house officers, and legisla
tors will be held. The race in Cobb
county and the Blue Ridge circuit has
been hotiy contestad and just who will
be the winner seems to depend mostly
on the point of view of the man doing
the talking. The Journal has tried to
keep clear of factional lines and wants
to see a big vote and a fair count of
the ballots cast by voters who have
weighed the merits of each candidate
and reached his own conclusions in the
matter as he has a right to do.
The deepest interest of the Blue
Ridge circuit is centered in the race for
Judge of the Superior court between
Judge N. A. Morris of Marietta and
Col. H. L, Patterson of Cumming, Ga.,
and the contest for Solicitor General
between Hon. E. H. Clay of Marietta
and Hon. J. P. Brooke of Alpharetta.
The lines of these two contests are
very closely drawn with both sides
claiming victory.
The governor’s race is apparently alk
one way and Cobb county is expected
to go almost solid for Hon. Jack Sla
ton.
ANDREW ROGERS, JR.,
WORKING ON ROADS
Andrew Rogers, Jr. who was sen
tenced to the chain 'gang by Judge
Morris for horse stealing, is now
working on the roads of Cobb county.
The court of appeals affirmed the de
cision of Judge Morris and as soon
as the decree was returned to Cobb
county Rogers was taken to the con
vict camp.
Judge Morris secured another victo
ry in the court of appeals a few days
ago in the case of Tobe Avery, con
victe dof selling whiskey. This case
was also affirmed by the higher court.
If you want to help the Tigers,
vote against Judge Morris.
