Newspaper Page TextThe Marietta Tonenal JOURNAL, ESTAB .ISHED 1866. iR DR e h AT e R YOL. 49. BY SMITH-LEVER BILL The bill known as the Smith-Lever bill is regarded as one of the most important and beneficial measures passed by the Legislature at the ses sion just closed. The measure car ries with it an appropriation ot $25,174.00 for the year 1915 and $46,150.00 for the year 1916, the purpose of which is to meet the ap propriation by the Federal Govern ment for the same period amounting to $91,000 as provided in tHE bill which passed Congress August 14th, 1914, making a total sum of $162 - 628.00, which, according to the terms of the act shall be used for agriculture extension work and in struetion in home economics in all the eounties of Georgia. This measure does not conflict with or Jiscontinue the appropria tion of $80,000.00 already made by the United States government for farm management work or farmer’s co-operative demonstration work. In addition to the amounts men tioned above the government usual ly increases the amount by $lO,OOO until the year 1922 when the amount will reach $182,020.00 which will come into the State from the United States government, all of which shall be used to help those farmers ana their families who are unable to take advantage of a course in Agriculture at the College and higher institu tions of learning. This bill was introduced by Repre sentative Fred Morris, who worked earnestly for its passage. His work in behalf of the measure has been extensively commented upon by the Atlanta papers, both in their news columns and editorially and the fa':ti that the measure is now part of our lawe is gratifying to its author, no doubt. FLAG RAISING AT SANDY PLAINS. The D. A. R. of Marietta did not appear to take part in the ceremony cn account of delay in receiving no tice of the hour and not because the ladies did not feel a cordial interest in the event. Miss Mabel Cortelyou wlo has made inspiring addresses ou similar occasions was in Califor nia and Mrs. Graham did not know when to appear on the scene, Dr. Rembert Smith had a letter in the Atlanta Constitution recently ad vocating a law to compel all schools o have a United States flag where it can be seen and saluted by pupils daily. This is the best way to in sure an early acquaintance with and a reverent appreciation of the stars and stripes and what the flag means, SWIMMING POOL FOR MARIETTA. Mr. Pierre Camblos and Mr. J. R. Prumby are building a first-class Sswimming pool on Church st. near in. It will be 55 feet long and 21 feet wide with smooth concrete floor, dressing-rooms, hot and cold shower baths and plenty of towels. The opening night will be an in teresting social event. Tickets are now on sale in all the drug stores in town and a system of voting for the mo,t popular young lady has been arranged. Books of tickets will also be on sale at lower rates than single tickets, ol time, iy | The young lady receiving most Votes Will select her swimming part fier and be the first one to enter the (rystal water. Every one receivinz‘ €ven one vote will be allowed to select her partner and take a swim Cn the opening night. Mr. Camblos and Mr. Brumby are real benefactors in supplying a wat €ring-place right in the midst of Ma rietta, Sea-breezes are the best things im nature with “power to Guiet the restless pulse of care’ as the poet has it but the effect of zep ¥rs and even electric fans is super ficial and temporary. A swim in 00l waters with a shower bath af lerward is really akin ‘“to the bene ction that follows after prayer” bccause it soothes and sweetens the *Dirit as well as the body. Being 'l under the "cvollar’ is dangerous énd keeping cool is one of the ele “its of the policy known as safe- Wy first or safe and same conduct. et busy everybody and welecme L 2 swimming peol as it deserves, as “ liret aid to comfort and happiness, *lmoked baecon for seasoning i MARIETTA AND SGUTHERN BELL TO PLAY HERE SATURDAY. On Saturday August 14th, the base ball fans of Marietta will be given the opportunity of again seeing tne fast Southern Beil team of Atlanta. This is the second game with this team and it will be remembered that on their last appearance they gave the home boys the worst beating they have ever had either before or since, The Bell Team has on its pay list a large number of star College and semi-professional ball players. Such men as T, Montague, the fast est amatuer we have ever seen—our old friend Henry Clay Burr the best amatuer the world bar none. This boy is ready right now for fast pro fessional ball—we don’t know of any one we would rather see on the Marietta team, or that we hate to see playing against, quite as much as we do this boy. Some of the other stars are Fox Montague, all southern ihfielder— “Doe” Witherington who' is some catcher—ask Canton. Jim Senter, Georgia-Tech’s crack pitcher and a great many more--there is not a weak spot on the team. To offset this galaxy of stars, Ma rietta will use the great and only “Marvel” Rucker—the greatest of them all, by gum—Nappie is goin, great guns, these days. We respect fully call your attention to the first Canton game. If anybody can muz zle the Krupp guns of the enemy, we believe this boy can do it. What he ais’t got ain’t worth having. As he fays he “hain’t never been beat.” This will be the best game of the season. Admission two-biis. CARNES REAL ESTATE . | COMPANY’S BIG DEAL Mr. Carnes has just closed a tradei with Mr. W. L.

Sanford, of the State university, will speak to the Baraca class at the First Baptist church next Sunday. | As he was fermerly superinten dent of Marietta’s public schools and has many friends here he will have an interested audience and his ad dress will be well worth hearing. MR. W. L. RICHARDSON WANTS HON. GEO. ANDERSON TO RUN. Marietta, Ga., Aug. 10th, 1915. Editor Marietta Journal, | Marietta, Georgia. Dear Sir:- 1 note in the issue of the Marietta Journal of July 30th, & letter signed by “One Who Is Interested in Good Government’’ vigorously indorsing Honorable George D, Anderson, of Marietta as a candidate for Judge of the Superior Courts of the Blue Ridge Circuit. In my humble opinion there is no member of the Marietta, Bar, nor the Bar of the Blue Ridge Circulr, better qualified in every respect to hold this high office, than Honor able George D. Anderson. He had considerable experience at the bar of the Courts of the Blue Ridge Cir cuit, and it is well known among those who have come in contact with him that he has a profound know ledge of the law, both civil and crim inal and is otherwise qualified by temperament, etc., to make a most satisfactory judicial officer. Mr. Anderson being a man of unassum ing and quiet demeanor has never taken a decisive stand in the faction al polities in this Circuit and for +his reason, among others, I consid er him to be the proper man to be elected Judge of our Superior Court for the next term. Let us all get together and by our combined efforis place this eminent lawyer on the bench. ‘ Yours very truly, | w. L. RICHARDSON. | *A ST - AND COURIER. MARIETTA, GA., FRIDAY MORNING.

WESLEY BARACA NOTES. Last Sunday the Treasurer’s re port for the period ending July 21st was read. It showed the financial condition of the class to be in very | good condition. Mr. Walker White's talk was fine, practical and much to the point. Mr. White comes from Emory College and from his way of speaking it was easy to see that he is accustomed to talkl to young men for he knew exactly | what to say and how to say it. | For the coming Sunday, Presidenl’ Baldwin has arranged for Miss Hat cher, of Macon, to be with the Ba-i‘ raca Class. ; ST.JAMES CHURCH NEWS.

Much business of importance was transdcted. A num ber of ladies came later to the Rec-| tory and there was a social half hour, accompanied by music and refresh ments. May we remind thoze who drifted from the School during the warm weather that Autumn is nigh, and it| would be a great pleasure to see them drift back. Arrangements are being made for‘ heating the Church with steam next winter. An active campaign will be begun at once towards building a suitable Sunday School room.

On August 1, 1914 we made the announcement that if we could make and sell at retail 300,000 Ford cars between Aug ust 1, 1914 and August 1, 1915 we would share profits with the retail purchasers, to the extent of from $4O to $6O on each car. We have sold cver 300,000 Ford cars in the time speci fied, and profit-sharing checks of $5O each will be distribut ed as rapidly as possible after August 15, 1915. Retail pur chaers who have not yet mailed us their profit-sharing cou pons, properly endorsed, should do so without delay. Our plan to profit-sharing with retail purchasers of Ford cars during 1914-15 has been most successful. We thoroughly believe in it, but, realizing the uncertainty of conditions gen erally makes it advisable to defer any announcement of fu ture profit-share until a later date. We are, however, confident of our inability to reduce costs for several months, and therefore can offer no profit-sharing for cars delivered during August, September, October, 1915. Freight has also been reduced $lO from last year. Lewis & Butler Agents For Cobb, Cherokee, Pauiding and Polk Counties COURIER, ESTABLISHED 1901. NO. 33
