Newspaper Page TextThe Marietta Fonenal JOURNAL, ESTABLISHED 1866. VOL. 47. Store of Wikle-Butler Drug Company Burglarized and Cash Taken. , The safe in the office of the Wikle- Butler Drug Co., was robbed last Sat urday night and about three hun dred dollars in money and checks stolen. No clue has yet been found to aid in finding the burglars. The robbery was committed some time after closing time late Satur day night and it is evident that the burglars entered the store by the ice chute in the rear of the building. The money was taken from a smali safe in the office and the theft was committed by an expert as the com bination lock on the safe was work ed to gain. entrance to the money drawer. The only evidence of a bur glary having been committed was the bolts in the hinges of the safe having been removed which is the‘ only thing about the robery to indi-{‘ cate an ameteur job. It is probable that the bolts were removed to leave the impression that the robbery was not the work of an experienced CTOOK. | Dr. Wikle hopes to recover part ofj his loss by stopping payment on the stolen checks. | MASONS BIG MEETING AT POWOER SPRINGS Tenth Annual Convention of Cobb County Masons Last Thursday. The 10th annual convention of Cobb County Masons met with Spingville Lodge No. 153 at Powder Springs. last “Thursday, with the largest attendance in the history of these gatherings. At 10 o‘clock the Masons met in the Hall of Springville Lodge and were welcomed by Prof. H. R, Hunt. The response was made by Prof. Wil ber Colvin of Acworth Lodge.

Miss Lois Bookout and Miss Josie Vaughn added to the entertainment with reading and the principal address was made by Past Grand Master Thomas H. Jeffries, of Atlanta. Len Baldwin says that Mr. Jeff ries made a fine speech that delight ed the ladies but opposed “suffra gets' "', : Following the speech of Mr, Jeff ries the Gem City band played several delightful selections before dinner was announced. : If we had the space to spare we could give some ideas of the dinner which Mr, Baldwin describes as con sisting of "five long tables laden with good things to eat’”’, but nobody went away hungry and thkere have been no reports of increased sale of digestants by the druggists of Pow der Springs. The afternoon program included reading by Miss Lorena Vansant, address by Joseph 6. Camp, reading by Miss Ruth Bartlett, of Dallas, Ga., address by Deputy Grand Master N. H. Ballard, of Brunswick, and talk by Rev. S, R. Belk, of Atlanta. There were fully 1,800 people presént and a great day was enjoyed. The convention was organized in Marietta ten years ago by Mr. Len C. Baldwin and Col. John P. Cheney. — | | TEW OF &G N. WRECK AT NOONDAY CREEK | VIEW OF L. & N.

TAX EQUALIZATION BILL IS PASSED Rev. and Mrs. Elam Christian re ceived a telegram Tuesday morning announcing the death of their daughter ,Mrs. John Bate in San- Antonio, Texas. The shock was all the harder to bear because they had just received a letter saying she was much better. Shesuffered from drop sy and when that touched her heart life was soon extinguished, Mrs. Bate once lived here and had many friends. She was a handsome woman of amiable disposition and sincere piety. She is survived by her daughter, Mrs. Edwin Zincke, Miss Grace and Miss Julia Bate and her sons, John, Phillip and Max Bate. MR. MILT. LATIMER IS KILLED BY TRAIN Mr. J. Milton Latimer died at Dr. Nolan’s sanitarium early Thursday morning as a result of injuries re ceived when North bound N, C. & St. L. passenger train struck the buggy in which he and Mr. Emmett Bengson were returning from the Veteran’s reunion at Kennesaw, Wednesday afternoon at 5:30. The accident occurred at Dobbs crossing just beyond Kennesaw Mountain. The cause of the accident has not been accertained but it is probably due to the dangerous crossing at this point which makes the sight of North bound trains practically im possible. Both of the fine horses the gentlemen were driving were killed and carried some distance from the crossing by the terrific impact of the collision. : Mr. Benson's left arm was broken below the elbow and he was badly bruised amd shakem up but is not fatally injured.

Aug, 13— After three hours and a half of debate marking the most bitter and most sensational fight of this session, the house Tuesday afternoon passed the Anderson-Miller tax equalization substitute of the senate when Speaker W. H, Burwell, of Hancock, broke the tié of 85 to 85 by voting aye. Immediately there was a dem onstration by the adherents of the measure that the vigorous pounding of the speaker failed to stop for sev eral migutes, The bIMI was taken up at three o'clock, when the lower assembly convened- for i4s afternoon session, and the debate by both sides lasted until 5:30 o'clock, when the pre vious question was called and the vote began a few minutes later. After the first ten pames were called the vote was 7 to 3 against the bill, and tax reformers became decidedly uneasy for fear the same ratio would continue. From then on, however, they forged to the front and at one timeé were sleven votes to the good. Here the tide turned again and it “was nip and tuck down the third and last col umn of the roll call. Slowly but surely the lead of the victors was cut down and when the letter “S" was reached the tle eame, nor could it be broken, 5 At the conclusion of the vote |t stood 86 to 83 agains:t the bill. Then two things happened that changed what seemed to be certain defeat into victory. One member of the house found that he had veoted ‘no"” under a misapprehension and chang ed to “aye” cutting down the lead against the measure to one. A sec ond member was not in the house when the roll was called, but reach ed the capitol just in time to cast his ballot in favor of the bill, thas 3 COURIER, ESTABLISHED 1901. I am asked so frequently as to who will attend the new school and who the old that I deem it advisable to make the following statement: The new school is intended to ac commodate the children on the north side of the town, those living on Church, Cherokee, Kennesaw, Polk, and contiguous or connect ing streets, while the Waterman St, school will accommodate the child ren on the south side, | The dividing line runs east and iwvst between Washington avenue and Lawrence St. and down Whit lock Ave., or possibly north of Whit lock Ave. This line divides the town equally as to school population, but like the magnetic meridian, it cannot be absolutely stationary. There will have to be shifting from one school to another near the di viding line, and the equitable divi sion will have to be determined by experiment, transfers being made according to the necessities of the case, | All high school pupils.will attend the new school; all seventh grade pupils will attend the Waterman St. school regardless of what part of ’town they may live in, At the ‘new school there will be six ‘ele mentary grades, beginning with the first; at the Waterman St. school there wiil be nine grades. As there is more room there, more children will have to attend that school. I wish the public to be strongly impressed with the fact that we have attempted to make the two schools of equal merit, The Water man street school will have tefchers just as strong as the new gchool. It will be just as sanitary. Its heat ing system is superior, in fact. The superintendent will spend as much of his time there or more than at the new building. i { In addition to the four high gchool teachers, the following ele mentary teachers will be at the new or Haynes St. School: Miss Marie Scott, Ist grade; Miss Caroline Deas, Znd grade; Miss Laurie Ford, 2rd grade; Miss Helen Daughtry, 4th grade; Miss Emma Broach, sth igradp: Miss Marie Turner, 6th grade. | The following teachers will be at the Waterman St. School: Miss Exa ißmmett, Ist grade; Miss Lula Me- Michael, 2nd grade; Miss Florine Dial, Ist and 2nd grades (mixed): | Miss Rosalie Scott, 3rd grade; Miss Jennie Daughtry, 3rd and 4th grades (mixed); Miss Blanche Barnes, 4th grade; Miss Louise Chick, sth grade: Miss Inda Harrison, 6th and 7th grades (mixed); Miss Sena Towers, 7th grade. In order to avoid confusion 1 will ask all parents living on the north side of the city to have their child ren call on me, during the next week or two, at my office in the new school building, and bring their pro motion or other cards with them so .that 1 may write on the cards what school they are to attend.
