We have been censured in certain
quarters for carrying advertising of
Senator Hardwick, but as we have
stated before, we shall be fair to
everyone i the mater of publicity,
and that without regard to which
candidate we are supporting. We
did as much for Harris and we are
also carrying ads of Shaw and How
ard in this issme.
The latest order is that all drafted
raen will be supplied with uniforms
before leaving the office of the local
boards. They are also to be accorded
all the rights and privileges of other
scldiers in the service.
The new registration will be from
18 to 45 and it will sound the death
kneH of the German autocracy.
The governmemt as well as the
state will malee some big exhibits at
the South Eastern Fair in Atlanta
this fall.
We are receiving many letters of
warm approval from subscribers and
quite a number have been reading
the Marietta Jowrnal for 50 years.
Mexico seems to be determined to
give us trouble while we are looking
the ofher way, but when it becomes
necessary we can attend to her case.
Senator Ollie James of Kentucky
is dead. He was a statesman and a
patriot big of body but bigger of
heart.
The farm furlough bureau at the
capitol in Atlanta has been discon
tinued effective September Ist.
The price of The Marietta Journal
after September Ist will be $2 per
year, and it will be worth iv.
Came to this Woman after
Taking Lydia E. Pinkham'’s
Vegetable Compound to
Restore Her Health
Ellensburg, Wa~h.—‘‘ After [ was

s
1 improved in health so I couy do mr
housework; we now have %littl one, all
of which I owe to Lydia E, Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound.”’— Mrs. O. S.
JoHNnsoN, R. No. 3, Ellensburg, Wash.
There are women everywhere who
long for children in their homes yet are
denied this -happiness on account of
some functional SISOtd er which in most
cases would readily yield to L({dis E.
Pinkham’s Vegetable Compoun
Such women should not give up hff”
until they have given this wonderful
medicine a trial, and for special advice
write Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Co.,
Lynn, Mass. The resuit of 40 years
experience is at your service.
and a good deal of
the time was not
able to go about,
Our greatest desire
was to have a child
in our home and one
day m{ husband
came back from
town with a bottle
of Lydia E. Pink
ham’s Vegetable
Compound and
wanted me to try it.
It brought relief
from my troubles.
WILL IT BE HOWARD OR
HARDWICK IN COBB
Mr. Voter, do you want Mr. Hard
wick to carry Cobb couty for Sen
ator on the 11th, of September? If
you don’t then you had better rally
to the support of Hon. Wm. Schley
Howard. Mr. Harris is out of the
running in Cobb county, as anybody
you see from any part of the county
will tell you. If the opposition to
Senator Hardwick will rally around
Mr. Howard and vote for him, he can
carry the county. If the few scat
tering Harris votes continue to fight
for him then the county is in danger,
the result is for you to determine.
What are you going to do about it.
Bill Schley Howard has been in
public life for eighteen years. Not
a candidate in the field against him
has ever dared to question his loyal
ty, or the wisdom of a single vote
cast since he has been in public life.
They don’t dare to attack his record
on this line. He is one hundred per
cent American. He answered the
call of his country in the Spanish-
American war and served throughout
that war., He has stood by his com
manding Chief in the present war
with absolute unswerving devotion
and loyalty. Clark Howell and Ed
Brown cannot destroy his political life
by their cowardly assault upon him.
We repeat, if you don’t want Sena
tor Hardwick to carry Cobb county
you had better get busy at once and
help Mr. Howard.
The contrast between Mr. Howard
and Mr. Harris is marked. For eigh
teen years Mr. Howard has been in
public life, elected by the people, loy
ally standing by his people, and sup
porting the government. For a num
ber of years Mr. Harris has been hold
ing offices to which he was appointed
and being supported by his govern
ment. Mr. Howard can point to his
record with pride, and none dare at
tack him. Mr. Harris has no record
to point to.
A FALSE CHARGE }
AND IT’S ANSWER
One of the dirtiest pieces of poli
tics that has gone the rounds in Cobb
county in many years is being fos
wered against Mr. J. J. Thomas, coun
ty Commissioner from the Marietta
district, by a few scheming politici
ans in Marietta. They are election
ering against him, and telling vari
ous pedple that Mr. Thomas did a
large amount of work at the Golf
Club with comvicts without any con
sideration for the county in return.
The facts of she matter are as fol
lows: The county board allowed seven
teams with the neccessary help to do
grading ten days to assist in complet
ing the reservoir on the Golf Club
grounds, which the city is to use for
fire protection. This reservoir will
hold about three million gallons of
water and is almost full at this tame.
1t is the purpose of the city to con
nect it's water main with this large
reservoir for fire protection for the
city for emergency use. By doing
\this it will save the various property
owners, inculding the court house
‘ and other county property, about ten
thousand dollars fire insurance premi
ums annually.
In return for this and other city
work, the city is to furnish for a term
of three years free lights, water and
sewerage, for the county court house,
the county poor farm and the county
couvict camp. This will save the co
unty about six thousand dollars per
year in addition to the saving in re
duction of insurance on it’s public
buildings.
In making this trade the city offi
cials did a great service to the vari
ous tax payers by helping them to re
duce their insurance, and by giving
them permanent streets, at the same
‘time, the furnishing of lights to the
various public buildings is not an ad
ditional cost to the city for the reas
on they were not using the maximum
‘amount of current that they have to
pay for under their contract with the
power company. The country peo
ple in the district appreciate the fact
that an arrangement has been made
by which the public square and other
streets are permanently improved
it is beneficial to them as well as the
city. The entire transaction was for
the betterment of the property of
both town and county and when the
péople understand the real facts they
will approve the acts of both the city
officials and the board.
Mr. Thomas has made a clean fair,
fearless and impartial commissioner,
and the people of Marietta and vici
nity will and should resent this out
rageous attack that is being made
upon him by a few scheming politici
ans, who are anxious to defeat him
at any cost, because they can't con
trol him.
If the mean insinuations made
aginst him were true, not only the
Golf Club membership but the Mayor
and council, and the whole board of
commissioners would have to be cor
rupt.
The price of The Marietta Journal
ia\ftel' September Ist will be $2 per
year, and it will be worth it.
THE MARIETTA JOURNAL AND COURIER
IS THE SOLICITOR GENERAL
BEING STARVED TO DEATH?
The bill providing for the Splicitor
General of the Blue Ridge Circuit to
go on a salary of $3,500 per annum
and in addition thereto the $250.00
salary paid by the state will go into
effect January Ist, 1919. This bill
provides that the salary shall be paid
by the various counties in proportion
to the population, |
Under this plan Cobb county will
pay about $1,065 per annum. We
have before us certificates under seal
from each Clerk of the Superior{
Court of the Blue Ridge Circuit show
ing the amount of fees earned and
collected by Mr. Clay in their re-i
spective counties for the first year
and a half under Judge Morris’ ad-i
ministration.
Cobb County $1,416.71 ‘
Cherokee County 1,215.23 ‘
Fannin County 538.50 |
Forsyth County 484.25 |
Pickens County 297.00 ]
Gilmer County 140.65 j
Milton County 184.10 ‘
Fees collected for representing'thei
eriminal cases in Court of Appeals
and Supreme Court, $375.00. Sal
ary paid by the state, 375.00. In ad
dition to this the certificates of the
Clerks show cash on hand undistri
buted, and fines and forfeitures to be
distributed amounting to $3,380.30.
The Solicitor will get sixty per cent
of this sum making $2,028.00, which
will make his fees for the year and
a half, $7,054.73.
" In addition to the above fees col
lected by the Solicitor General he
gets a fee of $25.00 for each bond
issue validated in the entire circuit.
In all fines imposed Judge Morris
provides in his sentence for the pay
ing of the Justice of the Peace and
Baliffs their commitments costs, also
for the paying of witnesses their fees,
also for the return to the county any
non resident witness fees paid by the
county, or jail fees, or expense of ar
rest and return of the defendant to
the county, where there is an arrest
out side of the county. These sums
the Judge specially provides shall be
paid back to the county out of the
various fines. After all these sums
have been paid Mr. Clay has collect
ed fines as above stated.
Many people will be surprised at
the foregoing facts, as there has been
an effort as we construe it, for po
litical or other purposes, to circulate
a rumor that Solicitor Clay was being
starved to death in the Solicitor’s
office.
We called attention in a reeent ar
ticle in the Journal to the fact that
two legal obstacles were in the way
of the salary bill going into effect
January Ist, 1919. First, there was
no provision made for the collection
of the taxes in the various counties
to pay the Solicitor General the sal
ary.
Second, that under the bill allow
ing the Solicitor General to be put
iupon a salary, and under the consti
tution of the State, he cannot go on
a salary during his present term of
office. This question will probably
be tested out in the courts.
Under the salary bill of the Selic
itor General will fairly, impartially,
and faithfully, discharge his duty and
prosecuts the various criminals with
out favor or affection, in all proba
bility it will give general satisfaction,
but there is great room for a Solicit
or General to play politics under the
salary system. It will be pessible for
’ him to protect his friends without any
financial loss on his part. If this is
’done the salary system will be very
unpopular with the law abiding ele
‘ment of the circuit.

The senatorial campaign race, from
‘the best information obtainable, is
fast settling down to a contest be
tween Howard and Hardwick. Bill
Harris has already torn the tail off
President Wilson’s coat and the for
mer census enumerator is slipping
fast. Howard is gaining every day
and he is the one best bet to defeat
Tom Hardwick.—Jackson Progress-
Argus. ? }
The race for United States Sena
tor it is believed, will be fought out
in this county between William Sch
ley Howard and Hon. Thamas W.
Hardwick; W. J. Harris, so far as in
vestigation reveals, has developed
but little strength in this neck ’o the
woods. It seems that Mr. Harris
should make haste quickly and take
a fresh hold on the President’s over
worked coat-tail.—Bremen Gateway.
Fifty years ago mo man would have
dared to offer for the United States
senate in Georgia on the ground that
he would take his orders from the
President of the United States. If
Roosevelt, or Taft or Hughes wer:
President now, it would not be done.
Yet we do not know who will cucceed
in the presidential chair two years
hence. Suppose Georgia has a sen
ator at that time who is accustomed
to being bossed from the White
House! Give us an old-fashioned
States’ rights Democrat who can
think for himsef and is not afraid to
say what he thinks.—Chatsworth
Times. }
. PRAISES Y. M. C. A.
Lieutenant Chappell, of Columbus,
who is at the front in France, writes:
“Here’s another thing I've learned.
The Y. M. C. A. man is a thorough
bred. Not five minutes ago I was
convinced. The day is bright and
clear, and shells are landing pretty
well all over the trenches just tapping
first in one spot and then in another,
It’s one of the days men don’t move
about for exercise. Up the front line
trench comes the Y. M. C. A. man, a
middle aged man, friend of every sol
dier. He carried two packs, one on
each side, filled with oranges, tobacco
and candy, kinder like a Santa Claus.
His prices are lower than at home,
and he calls, ‘come on boys, help
yourself and pay me pay day! At
times he brings in the Paris papers,
printed in English. Many sneaking
remarks I’ve heard about the Y. M.
C. A. man but from observation here
in the front line trenches, I find he’s
made of good stuff, is too busy in the
trenches to take issue with those who
criticize him and as a general rule,
he is a man past military age limit.
The Y. M. C. A. man is all right. He
winds in and out the first lines, visits
the post and dugouts every day, rain
or shine, whether shrapnel is flying
or not. He’s no slacker but wears
the steel helmet and gas mask along
with the others. A French sergeant
who speaks pretty falr English tells
the tale that a Y. M. C. A. man spied
an abandoned dugout on the edge of
the advanced barb wire and prompt
ly asked whom he should see to get
the use of that place for a hut.
When a man growls at the Y. M. C.
A. War Worker he admits by his re
mark that he never saw the front.

AN OLD TIME
MEDICINE IMPROVED
Laxanodine is based on the private
prescription of Dr. R. B. Moore of
Gwinette, Ga. in which there has
been an improvement made by sub
stituting a distilled extract of man
drake for the common water extract,
which separates the properties that
act on the liver from the irritasing
resin that injure the stomach. Lax
anodine is a combination of liver
medicine with tonic and healing medi
cine, and is far superior to other pre
parations for liver, stomach and bow
el troubles. Fine for bilious fever,
jaundice, sick headache, indigestion,
constipation and dysentery or bowel
troubles. Sold on a guarantee to
satisfy or money back by Griffith’s
Pharmacy.
GIRL CARRIES MAIL
OUT OF SAVANNAH
Savannah, Ga., Aug. 23—Savannah
now has her first rural mail route
carrier, Miss Matilda Miller, who ac

office to releive some man for war
service. She is driving an uatomo
bile, and Postmaster Lucas says she
is giving as good service on the route
as any man who ever held the place.
Mr. Marion Holcomb, of Nancy, Ky., says: “For quite
a long while I suffered with stomach trouble. I would
have pains and a heavy feeling after my meals, a most
disagreeable taste in my mouth. If [ ate anything with
butter, oil or grease, | would spit it up. I began to have
regular sick headache. I had used pills and tablets, but
after a course of these, I would be constipated. It just
seemed to tear my stomach all up. [ found they were
no good at all for my trouble. I heard
THEDFORD’S
recommended very highly, so began to use it. It cured
me. | keep it in the house all the time. It is the best
liver medicine made. Ido not have sick headache of
stomach trouble any more.” Black-Draught “acts oa
the jaded liver and helps it to do its important work of
throwing out waste materials and poisons from the sys
tem. This medicine should be in every household for
use in time of need. Get a package today. If you feel

morrow. Price 25¢ a package. All druggists.
