JOURNAL, ESTABLISHED 1880
VOL. 5%
Fifteen Thousand Dollars
Appropriated To Pay
For The Work. -
The farmers of Georgia will re
joice to know that the State Market
bureau bill, which was introduced
by Representative John P. Cheney,
h:as passed by a record breaking vote.
This bill was introduced at the be
ginning of this sessigm by our rep
resentative and he succeeded in
bringing it to a vote in the house
last Saturday. It passed by a vote
of 151 to 10. It was immediately
iransmitted to the Senate where it
was passed on Tuesday by a vote'
of 36 to 2. These figures show only
12 members of the legislature against
the bill which is, according to old
members, a record vote,
This law creates a Bureau of Mar
kets in the Department of Agricul
ture which will be in charge of a
Director of Markets who will be ap
pointed by the Commissioner of Ag
riculture. The sum of $15,000 was
appropriated to carry on the work
to be done by the Bureau.
The object of the Bill is to aid the
farmers who produce the crops to
find a better market for their pro
ducts, and will work largely along
the same lines as the Georgia Fruit
Exchange which has saved hundreds
of thousands of dollars for the peach
growers,
The bureau will work to get far
mers, bankers, merchants and busi
ness men in every county to get to
gether and establish local marketing
systems, one for each county, so
that the farmer who diversifies his
crops will have a nearby market for
them. This will assure him of a fair
and reasonable price for his products
and he will not be confronted with a 1
local glutted market as is now often
the case.
The State Market Bureau will actl
in conjunction with all these local!
market associations in the nature of
a clearing house for them. The bill
was endorsed by the Farmers Union}
and the Georgia Agricultural So
clety. It was also highly favored by
the labor organizations of the State
because it was thought a more equal‘
distribution of food products would
enable the laboring people of the
state to secure the necessities of life
al a more reasonable price.
Mr. Cheney says that he was ably
assisted in the passage of the bill by
!:.zs colleague from Cobb, Hon. Fred
Morris and feels good over its pas-

BIG PATRIOTIC RALLY HELD ‘
~ BY HOME GUARD FR!DAY%
*
i |
: Prof. Lynes presided over the meet
ing at the court house Friday even
ing when Hon. Murphy Candler made
such a fine address on the true mean
ing of patriotism.
There was an orchestra playing
such stirring national airs as Ameri
ca and The Star Spangled Banner
consisting of Miss Lucile Morris at
the piano, Mr. Allen Hardeman cor
netist, Mr. Thomas Nolan violinist
and Mr. Frank McNeel drummer.
Hon. Herbert uiay made a brief
talk on patriotism in his impassioned
style and Mr. Campbell Wallace in
troduced Mr. Candler who explained
the situation into which our country‘
was forced by the German emperor.
He then spoke of President Wilson’s
great speech to Congress soon after;
which the United States was declared
to be at war with Germany. |
Mr. Candler strove to correct
wrong impressions on the subject of
conscription and said in part: |
“To call upon the citizen to bear
arms in time of war, is no more ‘in
voluntary servitude,’ than to call
him to jury service or road working
duty in time of peace. The citizen
summoned to jury duty must answer,
and if qualified must serve, and dur
ing his service may be and frequent
ly is restrained as to his freedom of
communication and action.
“The summons to military service
in a national army is no different in
principle. The difference in fact is
that a citizen promises more, and is
obligated to give more to his coun
try, in war, than in peace, because
the needs of his country are greater
in war than in peace. The prinei
ple of universal obligation and ser
vice is the same and every citizen in
a republie, is particularly pledged to
its recognition.
Another objecto says that the
government is using or is going to
use the state militia in illegal service
and in a manner forbidden by the
constitution. This is not the truth.
The federal government is neither
proposing or attempting any such
thing. The assertion merely sets up
a military straw man, for the pur
posing of an easy knockdown.
“Every informed man in Georgia
knows as a fact, that more than a
year ago, when the Mexican border
situation became acute and it be
came necessary to send troops there
and the national guard was called in
to the United States service, that ev
ery member desiring a discharge was
given it, and that every man who
finally went was accepted after a
voluntary re-enlistment for the fed
eral service and was in fact a volun
teer. Every man who has, since the
return of these regiments of origin
ally state troops, joined them, has
voluntarily entered them while they
were and are national tro%ps, con
stituting units of the national guard,
and not units in state service.
“You hear other objectors say they
are willing to send the regulars into
service abroad, but not the drafted
men.
“Who are these ‘regulars’ whom
these objectors would send upon a
dangerous national service. They,
too, are our boys. Two of them I
happen to know are brothers of your
fellow townsman, Solicitor Clay. Why
should the sons of your late Senator
be sent to such service and my son
or Jones’ son not be subject to like
dangerous service in behalf of the
country. Some other fellow says
he is opposed to sending any Ameri
can boys to Europe—that it is un-
American—contrary to American
policy to invade foreign countries
or to send armies out of the country
and into other countries.
“Since when has this become an
American principle or policy?
“In the war of Independence we
sent troops into Canada, In the Mex
ican war we sent them into Mexico,
‘even to the very capital. For much
less national cause and interests, we
iinvaded and conquered during the
'Spanish-American war foreign terri
itory in Cuba, Porto Rico and the
Philipines, and actually dethroned a
king in so far as those islands were
lparts of this kingdom-—within the
short memory of every boy scout be
fore me, we have twice invaded Mex
ico. We now and for years past
have maintained armed troops in
;China, who fought their way from
the coast to the capital of that great
country, where they are now sia
tioned.
We have troeps in Santo Domingo
today, and more, that unhappy is
land i now under the rule of our
military forces. ; ;

THE GEORGIA STATE
AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY
The annua! convention of 'Ehe‘
Georgia State Agricultural Society
was held at Statesboro on August Bth
and 9th. It was the 71st anniversary
'of the reorganization of the so
ciety. It was the 107th year of the
initial organization—the purpose all
the time being the upbuilding of the
agricultural interests of Georgia.
The convention was largely attend
ed. At every session, the spacious
Court Room was filled with far
mers, business men, ladies and gentle
men.
Mayor Rountree welcomed the del
egates in a timely address during
which he took occasion to point out
the beauties and the strength of
Statesboro and the great county of
Bulloch. He dwelt upon the value
and importance of the recently com
pleted $150,000. packing plant—a
purely local industry.
Judge Peter W. Meldrim, of Savan
nah, replied to the address of wel
come in a speech at once eloquent
and practical.
The regular annual address was
delivered extemporaneously by Presi
dent Calvin, of Marietta. He told
of the rise, the progress and the good
work of the society.
Col. W. T. Anderson, of the Macon
Telegraph, gave an illuminating ad
dress on the Farmer and the Daily
newspaper; Mr. J. B. Wight spoke by
the card on the Pecan, giving a wealth
of valuable facts as to the cultiva
tion of the trees and handling the
crop; Chancellor Barrow, of the
State University, thrilled the large
assembly with an address on The
Day’s Duty; Mrs. Frank P. Harrold,
of Americus, held the audience spell
bound with an address on The Ameri
can Woman’s Co-operation in the
War; an address by Hon. Samuel L.
Rogers, Director of the U. S. Census,
possessed peculiar interest to every
farmer and was heard with great
pleasure; Maj. B. W. Hunt's address
on the Farmer and the Banker was
very fine—calculated to bring farmer
and banker into closer communion
and confidence with one another; an
address by Mr. George R. James, of
Memphis, Tenn., on Farm Homes,
"Farm Implements and Farm Machin
‘ery, was one of the finest. He spoke
}without notes—showing a perfect
‘mastery of his intensely interesting
subject. He was practical, incisive,
droll, humerous and instructive.
By unanimous vote Mr. Calvin was
re-elected President, Mr. W. L. Wil
'liamson, of Commerce, was re-elect
ed General Vice-President, and Mr.
D. A. Summerour, of Cobb, was elect
ed Vice-President for the 7th Con
gressional District. A Vice-President
for each Congressional District and
one executive committeeman were
chosen, the first mentioned for a
term of one year, the later for a term
of three years.
It was the unanimous consensus of
opinion that the convention was the
very best held since 1906. The lo
cal people congratulated themselves
upon being host to the members of
the convention, and the members
shook hands with each other upon
the open-door hospitality that was
literally showered on them.
TRUSTEES ELECTION
An elction for trustees of the Cobb
county schools will be held in the va
rious school houses or other conveni
ent places August 20, from two to
five P. M. All vacancies should be
filled whether caused by expiration of
term, death, or removal eof trustee
from the district. Returns should
be made to the County Superinten
dent for the Board of Education. By
order of the Board of Education of
Cobb County.

Local Players Lead Visitors
With 15 Points After
Game In Rain.
Regardless of the downpour of
rain Wednesday afternoon the 18
hole mateh play between the golfers
of Rome and Marietta was played on
the local links. The game was sche
duled to begin at 2:30 but it was an
hour later when the rain slowed up
enough for the players to get out on
the links. Rain continued to fall
throughout the game and pools of
water on the course proved a great
handicap for the players.
Out of 36 points only 2 points were
halved. Marietta won 25 points and
Rome 9, which gave Marietta a mar
gin of 15 points,
Mr. George Daniell made the best
medal score for the 18 holes which
was 68, Mr. George Montgomery
was a close second with 69 strokes,
which is phenomenal golf for the lo
cal course when the rain is taken in
to consideration. Dr. W. H. Per
kinson led in the number of holes
won,
Before the game a delicious lun
cheon was served.
The committee preparing the lun
cheon included Mrs. W. A. DuPre,
Mrs. George Montgomery, Mrs. A.
H. Gilbert, Mrs. T. L. Wallace, Mrs,
George Daniell, Mrs. A. V. Cortel
you, and Mrs. J. T. Anderson. The
girls serving were Misses Emma
Katherine and Elizabeth Anderson
and Fredonia Field.
The day was enjoyed by every one
and ended with a dance at night for
which many of the visitors remain
ed.
PAVING COMMISSION
SAYS WAIT AWHILE
The Paving commission has made
a recommendation to the city coun
c¢il to hold up for the present in re
gard to extending the paving in the
city. It seems to be the opinion of
a number of citizens that it would
put the city too deep in debt to go
ahead with other streets until the
taxpayers have recovered from this
first plunge in the good work, The
recommendation of the commission
follows:
To the Mayor and Council:
The citizens committee elected by
you, to aid and advise with your
honorable body relative to the paving
of the business section of your city,
beg to make the following recom
mendation regarding further paving
in Marietta:
We think it best that before you
ordey other paving, or enter into
other paving contracts, the present
job should be completed, accepted,
and settled for, and a statement of
the city’s financial condition given
the public.
We are mindful of the fact that
this is a time of international war,
with our country seriously involved,
and no one can foresee what finan
cial conditions are ahead.
We think caution and economy
should prevail at present in public
matters as well as individual affairs.
