IF VOLUNTEERS ARE CALLED
! There was a meeting held at the
Court House Thursday night to see
if a military company was to be form
ed in Marietta.
Capt. Fred Morris an old military
man, explained to the large number
present that a petition signed by a
bout 60 young men had recently beep
presented tc him, asking that he re
organize the Marietta Rifles and
take the command of it.
Capt. Mcrris explained that he had
investigated the situation and had
lJearned ehat there was no opening
for a new Company in the National
(}{zard at he present time and that
in view of the fact that there prob
ably wculd not be a call for volun
teers until all the National Guard
companies had been recruited to
maximum strength, and that very
likely there would ngt be a call for
velunteers soon. Several present
gave their names for a new com
pany to be equipped as a machine
gun section while oclhers signifie.
their intemtion of joining the com
yanies in Atlanta.
Capt. Morris explained that the
provisions of the new army bill pass
ed June 3rd and that it required ser
vice at any place where the President
saw fit #o senu the company and car
_ried a, three year enlistment and
turee years in the reserve corps, there
were several present who decided to
await the call for volunteers.
In thesevent there is a call for
volunteers there is a sufficient num
ber cn the lis. in the hands of Capt.
Meorris to form a new company.

MARIETTA, GA., FRIDAY MORNING. JUNE 30, 1916
LOCAL GOLFERS WIN
Marietta won the golf match from
Cartersville lasq Friday by two
points. The play was unusually close
and warmly contested and resulted in
Marietta winning 33 holes while
Cartersville won 31.
The Marietta players were delight
ed with the courtesies shown them
while in Cartersville. They were
given a warm welcome and sandwich
es and cold drinks were served at
the club grounds.
An invitation to the Cartersville
players to come te Marietta about
the middle of July has been accepted
and all the Marietta players will be
required to qualify for this match.
Right here we want to suggest that
a special game be arranged between
the two Marietta ministers, who are
golfers of ability, and two ministers
from Cartersville. We know we have
the best preachers, but we want to
see if they are the best golfers.
The Marietta players who went to
Cartersville were: Fred Morris, Jr.,
George Daniell, Tommy Tompkins,
Geo. Montgomery, E. L. Robertson,
Dr. Perkinson, Arthur Beall, A Bar
illi, Fred Morris, Sr., John Boston,
Will Neal, Ed Groves, Judge Morris. |
These players were just picked with- |
out qualifying by play and managed
to win on strange grounds. We hope |
that with players selected by match!
play and on our own course Z\lariettai
can win by a better score. |

JANUARY SPECIAL TERM, 1916.

ings in this county, we have had the ac
tive co-operation of Hon. Herbert Clay,
who has been with us the entire time, and
who has worked faithfully and ably to
find the guilty parties.
FEBRUARY TERM, 1916.
We had subpoenaed before us a list of
witnesses furnished us by the State Firg\
Marshall and some of whom were before
the recent Grand Jury, in regard to the
recent burnings in the County and we
have failed to find enough evidence to
convict anyone, and it is useless to indict
anyone unless there is enough evidence to
convict them. We resent any statements
that might have been made that this mat
ter has been covered up. From our in
vestigations of same, the former Grand
Jury investigated this matter carefully,
and they were aided in their work by
Hon. Herbert Clay, Solicitor General, and
C. L. Harris, Assistant Solicitor General,
both of whom did all in their power, and
did their duty as well as the Grand Jury.
There is simply not sufficient evidence to
convict anyone of this crime, as yet found.
We wish to thank our able Solicitor
General, Hon. Herbert Clay, and his As
sistant, Hon. C L. Harris, for the many
courtesies rendered us at all times during
this term of Court. They have aided us
greatly in our work,
