Cattleand Mr. J. T. Anderson Seven Firsts on
Herefords. Is Fine Showing.
Cobb county failed to win the
first prize for the best aggregate ex
nibit of any county in the state, but
through Mr. R. H. Northcutt and
Mr. James T. Andersca she brought
home a bunch of first and second
prize ribbons, and then some, for the
best cattle.
Mr. Northcutt entered only dairy
cattle, and what he did to the prizes
is shown below. He believes in fine
cattle and won’t have any other kind
on his model farm. Any man in the
country would be proud to be award
ed the number of prizes which he
captured, especially when it is a fact
that the fair which has just closed
was the best ever held in Georgia.
Here is what he brought back
prizes for:
Aged bull—First.
I}ull, one year and under two—
First.
Aged cow—We showed three and
won first, second and third, beating
a cow which the owner claimed has
never been beaten before in the ring
and had been all over the circuit.
Two-year-old bull—Second.
Yearling heifer—First.
Herd, consisting of bull and three
cows—First.
Champion bull of the show—First.
Champion cow of the show—First.
Mr. James T. Anderson is just as
particular about fine cattle as Mr.
Northcutt., The only difference is
that Mr. Northcutt raises the kind
you drink and Mr., Anderson the
kind you make porterhouse steak
and roast beef out of. He has a
fine reputation for the quality of his
beef cattle and he went to Macon
with a view to getting what was
there in the way of prizes for beef
cattle. Seven first prizes, with two

NEARLY TEN THOUSAND
BALES GINNED IN COBB
Five Thousand Bales More
Than Had Been Ginned
One Year ago
Mr. J. L. Stephens, cotton census
enumerator for Cobb county, reports
officially that the cotton ginned in
the county to October 18 amounted
to 9,893 bales, as compared with
4,588 bales to the same date last
year,
This is an increase of 5,305 bales
and Mr. Stephens thinks the 9,893
bales amounts to nearly half the crop
that will be ginned in the county. If
that is correct Cobb will not make as
much cotton as was expected. Some
of the estimates have gone as high as
22,000 bales.
There are fory-seven gins in oper
ation in Cobb. Mr. Stephens has to
visit them all and it keeps him busy.
FIRST MAN CONVIGTED
BY INSPECTOR JOYNER
In Jefferson Superior Court last
week Judge Brand sentenced Emory
Montgomery, colored, to twelve and
one-half years in the penitentiary
for burning a barn. This conviction
is the first under the new law that
allows the state to investigate fires
supposed to be of incendiary origin.
State Fire Marshal ‘“Cap.” Joyner
thinks this conviction will have a
good effect in preventing incendiary
fires and feels encouraged in his
work, which is not very pleasant.

COBA TAKES SECOND
AT THE STATE FAIR
Exhibit Gotten Up By Govern
ment Demonstration Agent
Feats The Banner County
Although “Uncle Gid”’ did not
bring back first prize from Macon
this year he brought seeond, which,
under the circumstances, is doing ex
tremely well.
This was the best state fair ever
held in number and excellence of
the exhibits, and Houston county
won first prize largely because its
exhibit was collected by a govern
ment agricultural demonstrator. Mr.
Morris has not been well for some
time, and began collecting his ex
hibit only three weeks before the
fair opened. He won $lO for the best
five bolls of cotton on the stalk over
eleven contestants. Mrs, Morris did
not enter anything except in the
county’s exhibit. Mr. James T. An
derson won second premium on the
best twelve stalks of corn in the
Cobb county exhibit. Mr. D, A. Sum
merour won first premium on the
best ten ears of corn for the third
time and received $lOO from the
Georgia Seed Store, in Macon.
Mr. Cliff Fowler has sold his Berk
shires to the Central Railroad,
- Mrs. Morris says Cobb county will
try again for first place and restore
‘its claim as the banner county in
| agriculture.
} The fine showing made by Cobb
county for many years has stimu
lated other counties to greater ef
& forts and when a government demon
istrator is given opportunities to
prove what can be done on Cobb
county farms then the rest of the
!state can sit up and take notice of
‘lour exhibits at future fairs.

MEETING HELD MONDAY NIGHT
FOR COMMISSION GOVERNMENT
Ex-Mayor Clay, Col. Cheney, Mr. Cortelyou,
Mr. Potter And Others Spoke In Favor Of
Trying New System of City Government
A large and practically unanimous
meeting of citizens was held at the
Court House Monday night to con
sider the proposed commission form
of government, which will be voted
on next Tuesday The meeting
had not been very widely advertised,
only a few circulars having been
scattered around, but this was sup
plemented with music by the Gem
City brass band, which played in
front of the Court House and inside
the court room while the crowd was
gathering.
Colonel J, H. Boston, Jr., was
called to the chair and presided. He
stated the object of the meeting and
spoke of the necessity for united
action in the interest of Marietta.
Mr. L. B. Robeson, one of the
members of the Water Board, was
called on as the first speaker, and
made a very earnest talk. He re
ferred to the increased expense of
the city and then said the situation
demanded more concentration of
management than is possible with a
large Council. He asserted that he
could manage the affairs of the Wa
ter Board better by himself than
could be done as it is now consti
tuted, and in ‘this Mr. Gramling
agreed with him.
The city has gotten behind about
$20,000, is unable to borrow money
and this floating indebtedness has
re-acted on the Water Board and im
paired its eredit, He said he could
not be induced to serve again, even if
commission government should not
be adopted, and if it should be
adopted he would be legislated out of
office, so that in any event he would
be out after January.
The next administration would go
in, he said, without a cent in the

treasury aud with no power to bor
row money and with a floating ifu
debtdness of $20,000. He said he
would no more repudiate the debts
of Marietta than he would repudi
ate his own debts and he would vote
for any good men to take hold of the
problem even if they were men who
would not speak to him.
Colonel D. W, Blair spoke next
and said Marietta was confronted by
a serious problem in this floating
debt. There is no way to meet the
situation except by the adoption of
the new charter and the placing of
affairs in the hands of three men,
who, being able to devote themselves
to the ' work, could manage more
clogely than the Council could pos
sibly do. .The city’s income is $40,~
000, to which the Water Board’s in
come would be added, making re
‘ceipts of $70,000 a year. Yet this
big business is handled by men
‘meeting for an hour or so only once
a month. The new charter provides
a levy of ten cents on the hundred
dollars for three years with which to
‘meet the floating indebtedness, and
without that it will be impossible tp
)restore the city’s credit.
Mr, Joseph S. Calhoun, of Carters
ville, spoke of the great benefits that
have come to Cartersville from the
adoption of the commission form and
said he did not know of a man in the
town who would vote to go back to
the old system, which was so cumber
some and unsatisfactory.
Colonel Moultrie M. Sessions spoke
very heartily in favor of the new
charter. He said we could not do
worse than we are doing now. He
felt about it like the fellow who
was asked by a waiter. whether he
