- MORRIS JOINS FIGHT.
When the present General Assem
bly convened last summer Mr. Cole
was joined by Mr. Morris, a new
member from Cobb county, in the
fight for the north Georgia counties
affected. Both arc members of the
Western and Atlantic railroad com
mittee of the house and both in this
committee and on the floor of the
house they fought for their proposi
tion. And when the bill finally got
over to the senate they followed it
over and by persistent work with
their friends in the upper house they
were enabled to keep the clause in
the bill until it was finally enacted
into law.
Mr. Cole, who is a prominent
business man of Cartersville is serv
ing his second term in the house.
Mr. Morris, a leading young attoc
ney of Marietta, is serving his first
term. Both are hard-working, faith
ful and capable legislators and they
will no doubt come in for strong
commendation in their own and
other counties along the Western
and Atlantic railroad.
In their arguments for the clause
requiring the lesse to pay taxes
Messrs. Cole and Morris pointed out
that under the existing lease the
‘esse was exempt from taxes. They
contended that this was a hardship
on the counties traversed by the
road in whose courts many damage
suits arose against the road, which
cost the counties large sums annu
ally, to say nothing of the heavy ex
pense incurred by the counties in
building bridges over the road. |
The above is ‘copied from the At
lanta Journal. It is a high and de
serving compliment to Col. Fred
Morris, and comes as a reward for
faithful service in the legislataure in
behalf of the tax payers in his coun
vy |
Platforms and campaign promises
are often referred to as ‘‘something
to get into office on”, but this cannot
be said about Col. Morris with refer
ence to the matter. He promised
the voters while a candidate that he
would, if elected, do all he possibly
could to have this provision in the
new lease act of the State’s proper
ty.
During the almost three-quarters
of a century this road has been in
eperation not one dollar has ever
been received to offset the heavy
court expenses, for bridges and ap
proaches nor in taxes, The county has
failed to receive many, many thou
sands of dollars on account of this
road being owned by the State. Un
der the recent lease act old condi
tions in this respect no longer exist.
It will mean Cobb county will re
eeive $10,000.00 to $15,000.00 ad
ditional revenue annually. The fact
that it was a hard fight makes the
victory greater and affords addition
al cause for rejoicing, both to Col.
Morris and hLis constituents.
PEOPLE OF AUSTELL THANKED
FOR DINNER BY BRIDGE CREW
‘Editor Marietta Journal: !
Will you please allow us a little
space in your paper to thank the
dear people of Austell for the grand
dinner they gave us on Thanksgiv
ing day. We cannot express our
feelings in words, but nevertheless,
we are determined that every one
who reads your paper shall know
that we certainly feel grateful to
know that the people on the out
side have sympathy for us, if we
are in prison.
We had a very good tall game, af
ter which dinner was served, and
you can bet your life that was a
dinner, and the ladies certainly did
not fail to wait on us, and after din
ner was served we sang a little, and
the' people gave us a very liberal
contribution of $2.15. We think
that the people of Austell are the
kindest people on earth, and we will
always feel grateful to them, for the
dinner that was tendered us was
good enoguh for any one to eat.
This is from the convicts of Capt.
Westbrooks camp, known as the
fbridge crew, now stationed about
one mile and a half north-east of
‘Austell.

““Deestrick Skule’’
Pleases Big Crowds
This fine entertainment filled "the
auditorium on Monday and Tuesday
evenj{xgs with delighted audiences.
Col. J. Z. Foster made a droll
back-woodsy teacher and was arm
ed and equipped to punish infrac
tions of rules.
Mr. J. W. Legg, one of the tallest
men in town, wore a blue apron and
posed as Buddy, a 4 year-old, with
Miss Annie Lucia Warren as his big
sister.
Mr. Tom Wallace recited a _poem
and drank water whenever ne
thought of it. Mr. E. L. Robertson
read a composition oen the horse, and
Mr. A. C. Robertson read one on cats.
Quartettes of young ladies and
young men visited the school and
sang very sweetly.
Mrs. Honeysuckle, mother of two
of the pupils, came in to enjoy the
exercices and was highly pleased.
The dinner hour was a pleasant
scene when boys and girls shared
their lunches and brought dainties
to the teachers.
The classes in spelling, reading
and grammar were very funny and
80 were the songs.
The girls, in a few instances, were
grandmothers and two or three of
the boys were baldheaded. The
“skule” was exhibited for the bene
fit of the First Baptist organ funa
but the scholars came from other
churches as well as that.
NEXT SUNDAYS SERMONS AT
THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.
At the 11 o’clock services at the
Presbyterian church, next Sabbath,
several additional elders will be
elected by the congregation. This
is an important matter, and every
member of the church is urged to
be present.
The second discourse on the Holy
Land will be given by the pastor at
the evening service beginning at 7
c’'clock.
This address will include the
journey from Jerusalem down
through the mountains of Judea,
making special mention of the Sa
maritan Inn, the Jordan, the Dea4
sea, the ancient city of Jericho.
“THE BIRTH OF A NATION
COMING TO ATLANTA,
D. W. Griffith’'s mighty spectacle
of the South’s reconstruction, “The
Birth of a Nation’” is announced for
presentation at the Atlanta Theatfe,
Atlanta, for a week beginning next
Monday night and considering the
wide publicity that the great film
-and-music drama has had, it is re
garded as one of the season’s most
notable offerings.
As most readers of the newspapers
and magazines know, ‘“The Birth of
a Nation” was taken from “The
Clansman’’ but Griffith so thorough
ly dwarfed the Dixon story and play
that there can be no comparison.
With the great outdoors for his stago
Griffith employed 18,000 people and
3,000 horses in his acting company
and among the historical incidents
that he has reproduced are the bat
tle of Petersburg, with Gen. Robert
E. Lee in action; Sherman’s mareca
to the sea; The meeting of Lee and
Grant at Appamattox and the assas
sination of President Lincoln. in
Ford’s Theatre, Washington, by John
Wilkes Booth. ’
A symphony orchestra of thirty
plays the accompaniment for the
spectacle, the score being fitted to
its 5,000 separate and distinct
scenes. Two carloads of specia’
equipment are carried by the com
pany for the realistic stage effects.
A matinee will be given every
day after the opening next Monday.
night and seats are now on sale at
the box-office for the entire engage
ment. The prices are: Nights, or
chestra, s§l and $2; balcony, 75c,
$1 and sl.s¢ and gallery, 50 cents .
Matinees, orchestra, 75 cents and $1;
balcony 50 cents and 75 cents, and
gallery, 25 cents. Mail orders will
be promptly filled when aecompanied
by remtitances.
‘“The Birth of a Nation” is be
ing shown only in the principal cities
and as it can be shown only in large,
modern, theatres, it will probably
never reach the smaller towns.
There will be a rezular convoea

$0 il N, .. THE RAVEN
A scene from Edgar Allen Poe’s “The Raven,” shown here Friday Dec. 10.
Edgar Allen Poe, living only in our memory, has been revitalized
and brought before the actual visionin the great impersonation of Henry
B. Walthall in “THE RAVEN.”
Walthall won renown for himself as the star in “THE BIRTH OF
A NATION” that will last for years but his work in “THE RAVEN” ig
even greater.
It would really require Poe’s genius itself to describe Walthall’s
picturization,
Suffering, remorse, longing, heartache are painted here in colors
that burn and blind.
Sentiment rises to the highast. It speaks to men and women of
all ages, classes and temperament. It subordinates all else to love. It sets
apart the relatives value of life in their true proportions.
We of the South should feel proud of Walthall because he has
reached the heights he has. Born in . Shelby County, Alabama in 1878, he
has steadily climbed to this preeminience among the stars of the screen.
Those of us who are not ordinarily patrons of the “movies” should
every one See this great picture. The regular “fan” who misses it will
have a great source of regret.
Manager Swift has secured the great production for the Strand
Friday, Dec., 10th and gives his personel guarantee to the merits of the
picture, and assures his patrons on that day a treat they do not often en-
Joy.
