The Purple Tross l
An organization to be known as
the American Purple Cross is beingl
organized in Philadelphia. Its ob
ject is to properly embalm the bodies |
of American soldiers who are killed
or die in France so that they may
eventually be brought home and laid
to rest with their fathers.
Such an organization is second on
ly to the American Red Cross which
undertakes to relieve the suffering
of the wounded. It is certainly hor
rible enough for a man to be killed
in war, but to fail to give his body
a decent burial after his life has been
sacrificed for his country is just as
shameful as it would be not to give
his wounds attention. ‘“Greater love
hath no man than this, that a manl
lay down his life for his friendss’
Every human being that will benefit|
by victory in Europe is a friend forl,
whom our soldiers will die. Let us
hope they will all return unharmed,
but that would be a vain hope, there
fore let us make every provision fort
their comfort and safety—and for
their burial when they die. Let us
write to every member of congress
and urge them, DEMAND them to
pass the Purple Cross Bill No. 5410.
At present Mr. H. S. Eckles, of
Philadelphia, is paying all the ex
penses out of a purely patriotic spir
it in organizing this great move
ment. The least anyone can do will
be to write your congressmen to
vote for the bill. You cannot tell
when you, your son, brother or fa
ther will be called to arms, and you
certainly want his body brought back
if it cannot come back. I
Mr. William Kuhnen, of the Black
Undert#Fing Co., of Marietta, will
be glad to give anyone interested in
formation regarding this movement.
We urge you to get behind it. It
is worthy. It is necessary.
HON. W. J. HARRIS FOR SENATE
Atlanta, Ga., July 30th.—William
J. Harris, chairman of the Federal
Trade Commission, who has just re
turned to Washington after spend
ing ten days here on matters connect
ed with the work of the commission,
was urged by a great many of his
friends to make the race for the
United States Senate to succeed
Thomas W. Hardwick, whose oppo
sition to President Wilson is one of
the uppermost subjects of discussion
in legislative and political cireles.
While Mr. Harris has not made up
his mind as to whether he will be a
candidate, and in fact has not been
inclined to discuss it his friends in
sist that he should make the race,
and the general expectation is that
he will he a factor in the contest.
Mr. Harris is very much interested
in gecuring reduced coal prices, and
his opinion is that the government
will fix a price almost as low as
prevailing prices in normal times, un
der the provisions of the food con
trol bill authorizing the regulation of
fuel as well as food.

DEATH OF AN INFANT.
The funeral service of Israel Har
din Noe, Jr., infant son of Rev—and
Mrs. 1. H. Noe, was conducted Thurs
day morning in St. James church by
Rev. Russell K. Smith, rector of the
church of the Epiphany in Atlanta.
The interment was in the Episcopal
Cemetery in Marietta.
The church choir sang Jesus, Ten
der Shepherd and For All Thy
Saints.
This little boy was the first born
of his parents who have the sincere
condolence of many friends in thei:
SOITOW. ,
RESIDENCE BURNED.
Mr. Glenn Boatner’s home on Lem
on streets was found to be on fire
about supper time Wednesday even
ing. He and his wife had gone to
spend the night with his parents
on Atlanta street and had locked all
the doors so the neighbors had to
break them down to get in. The fire
started in a bed-room closet and
must have been caused by mice and
matches as there had been no fire
in the house all day.
The firemen responded quickly to
the alarm and extinguished the
flames before the house was destroy
ed. It was a seven-room story and
a half house and belonged to Mr.‘
W. M. Boatner. It was insured for
much less than full value.
Some of the furniture was saved.
It was a tremendous blaze seen
from a distance and made an alarm
ing sight, but the walls and floors
did not burn and the fire was kept
from spreading. |
FARMERS UNION PRAISES
| CONGRESSMAN GORDON LEE
\
‘ Birmingham, Ala., July 28, 1917
Hon. Gordon Lee, M. C.,
Washington, D. C.
| My Dear Sir:
We are holding our State Farmers
Union Convention today in Birming
ham, and we wish to express to you
sincere thanks for aiding in removing
cotton from the Food Control Bill,
and we trust you to keep it out.
After years of labor on the part
of the Farmers’ Union, the United
States Cotton Futures Act became a
law by act of Congress in 1916, and
this law is fair alike to cotton manu
facturers, to legitimate cotton buy
ers and traders and cotton manufac
turers, and the farmers do not want
this law changed in anywise what
ever,
There are interests now in Washing
ton endeavoring to change this law
lund adopt some new method of regu
‘lating cotton prices, and we want no
regulations except those provided for
lin the above law, and we hope vou
will stand by the farmers in this,
our request.
Yours respectfully,
O« P: - FORD,
| President Alabama Division.

tremely proud of him. The entire
town is praising the mayor, even
those who reluctantly contribute
many dollars for the paving.
‘The speech of Col. Foster is as
follows:
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have met today to see Mariet
ta lay the first brick for the founda
tion of her everlasting fame.
A city is known by its streets.
Broadway means the business center
of New York City, Wall Street her
money market of the world.
The character of the street de
notes the character of the town. The
physical condition of the street de
notes the same.
The splendor and magnificence of
Paris is expressed in two words,
Champs Elysees, the name of her
beautiful street. Pennsylvania Aven
ue opens to our minds the capital city
of our republic, its physical beauty
and all that it is, and all that it
stands for.
There is a city that lieth four
square, and in Revelation, St. John
Makes the climax of its description,
not its dimensions, 12000 furlongs,
not its walls of jasper, not its twelve
gates of pearl, not its foundations
garnished with all manner of precious
stones—the Evangelist tells about all
these, but the very last words of his
description of its glory and its gran
deur, are about the street, of the
Holy City, its pure gold and its trans
parency.
In a speech, which won for him the
Democratic nomination for the presi
dency of the United States, the ora
tor said: “Destroy the farms and
grass will grow in the streets of ev
ery city in this country.” He simply
referred to the physical condition of
the neglected streets, as the infalli
ble evidence of the decadence and
ruin of the cities.
The streets are the index to the
city.
All honor to the present adminis
tration, our Mayor and Council, for
the work now in course of construe
‘tion upon the streets, and for the
‘passage of a bill by the present Legis:
lature for the pavement of every
‘street and alley in the city.
~ These actions of the present ad
'ministration stand without a parallel
‘in the history of our municipality.
In the midst of a panic, *the great
world war, and the opposition that
always, is, they not only exercised
their good sense to determine upon
that which was for the best interest

We have had all kinds of letters
from all kinds of subscribers but we
found one Thursday morning from
Texas that tickled us in more ways
than one. It shows to what lengths
a man will go when he wants to “get
right” with his better seven-eighths.
This subscribers “time” was up in
May and a few days ago we sent him
a bill for a year in advance. The re
ply, as mentioned above, came in this
morning. He just put the bill, notice
and return envelope all back in an
other envelope and enclosed a moneyi
order for $6.00 which will pay six
years in advance. The letter is as
follows: |
Houston, Texas, July 31, 1917
Marietta Publishing Co., |
Marietta, Ga. |
Dear Sirs:- 1
Please excuse my seeming neg
lect for not making this remittance
carlier. On arriving home last even-‘
ing my good wife would not speak to |
me on account of not making the
aforesaid remittance. Please renew
my subscription for the time it will
pay for and oblige me. 1 believe
this pays you for my arrears and a
little while longer.
Respectfully,
W. E. EDMONSTON,
Mr. Edmonston is head of the firm‘
of Edmonston, Mulvihill and Morgan,
Public Weighers, and has long been
a subscriber for the Journal. We
hope that his “remittance” will keep
him on speaking terms with his “good
wife” for six years at least, and we
thank her for her interest in the old
Journal.

of the city, but they went that one
necessary step further, and displayed
their courage by doing it.
May it please your Honor and gen
tlemen of the council, while the
mouthers and howlers rave, rant and
rage,—in the face of their obstruec
tion, go on with your construction,
and pave! pave!! pave!! until you
cover every sidewa_lk, street, avenue,
public -alley, other public place or

praises throughout-the beautiful city,
