Whence Came They (!

1.-The Georgia Daughters under Mrs.
Peel's leadership have added over 1000
names of revolutionary heroes to the
state archives. These records will be
presented to Georgia during the pres
ent legislature, which is expected to
make an appropriation for the publica-
ton of this gift ATLANTA News. Nov.
18th.
As there were only about five thous-
and people in Georgia at the close of
the revolution, including men, women
and children, white and black, it is diff
ticult to conceive whence these 1000
soldiers came. If from other states
their names do not concern this state
1t is doubtful if that number of men
ever were in Georgia during the revolu-
ton. RADIUS VICTOR

SUPREME COURT DECLARES VALID
COBB's PROHIBITION LAW.

Minnie Smith, colored. who was con-
victed in Cobb Superior Court for selling
whisky appealed her case to the Su-
preme Court, alleging that the special
local option act in Cobb county was un-
constitutional. The case was argued
before the Supreme court in behalf of
Minnie Smith by her attorney, Col. J.
q. Foster. Many citizens of Marietta
employed Col. d. w. Blair and Col. j..
E. Motley to assist Solicitor Tom
Hutcherson, and they argued the case
in behalf of the constitutionality Of the
bill.
Last week a decision was handed
down declaring the local option act in
Cobb county valid, all the judges con-
curing, which will be very gratifying
to our people. The following is the de-
cision:
1919. Smith V. State Before Judge
Gober. Cobb Superior Court.
Little, il. A local act passed in
1888, applicable TO two counties only,
and by its terms prohibiting and max
ing penal in either, after an election
therein, for which the act MAIDS provis-
ions, should result in specified way
the sale of intoxicating, vinous, or malt
liquors of any kind and in any quanti-
ty, =. except wine for sacramental
purposes, did not affect or modify the
operation, in either county, of the act
of February 9th, 1877, with respect to
the sale of domestic wines Facts 1877,
p. 3d. when the act first named con-
tanned proyiso that nothing therein
should "be so construed as to prevent
any person from selling domestic wines
and cider made by them in said county,"
the words "in said county" as here
used, evidently relating to the place of
sale, and not to the place of manufac-
ture.
2 Because of such proviso, the act
embracing the same obviously differs
in a most material particular from,
those which were under consideration
in the consideration in the cases of Pan
worth V. State, 1903 Ga. So; O'Brien V.
State, 100 Ga. 81; Embry V. State, Id.
81; Tinsley " State, Id. 821 and was
not violative of that clause of the con-
stltution which prohibits special legis-
lation in any case for which provision
has been made by existing general law.
5. 1t follows from the foregoing that
the special prohibition act Of Septem-
Der 26, 1888, for the counties of Thomas
and Cobb (acts 1888, PIP 605, 606), the
provisions of which now material are
summarized in the first of the preced-
ing notes, was not contrary to the above
mentioned clause of the constitution.
4. An Indictment based on this act
was not open to demurrer on the ground
that it was in violation of that clause
and for this reason unconstitutional.
Judgement affirmed. All concurring

GONE BY.

The glory of summer has gone by
the beautiful greenness has become
Wlthered and dead Were this all
were there no associations of moral
desolation--of faded hopes-of hearts
whitening in the bosoms Of the living
connected with the decaying scenery
around US, we would not indulge in a
moments melancholy The season of
flowers will come agaiE-the streams
will flow gracefully as before--the trees
will again toss their cumbrous heads of
greenness to the sunlight, and by messy
stone and winding rivulet the coming
blossom will start up at the bidding of
their guardian But the human heart
has no change like that of nature. It
has no springtime. Once .blighted in
its hour of freshness, it bears forever
the mark of the spoiler. The dews of
affection may fall and the gentle rain
of sympathy shower upon-but the
stone root of blighted feeling will never
awaken into life-nor the crushed flow
ers of hope blossom with their wonted
beauty.

AN APPEAL FOR YOUNG MEN.

Marietta has no place for her bows
| and young men to meet each other. OF
where they may spend profitable
hour together. The old Methodist
church building, if not sold immedi-
atety is to be torn down. 1t can be
bought and fitted up with lecture room,
reading room. gymnasium, and shower
baths-in other words, made in to a
model Y. M. G. A. building-for fifteen
hundred dollars.
Alta meeting of young men Tuesday
evening it was decided that the amount
above named could be raised. by SELF
ing shares of stock in the building and
lot, but it could not be seen where we
could raise $500 year to. maintain the
association.
Are there not ten men in Marietta
who will give twenty five dollars wear
to support such cause? Each con-
tributor to be a director, or to name
one. If so. with a small membership
fee, this work could be carried on sue
cessfully.
1t would be blessing to Marietta at
large, and great benefit to every
young man who came within its in
fluences.
Will you help? If so, notify one of
the undersigned as soon as possible.

Hello Charley!'

There were six of them, all pretty
and sixteen, neatly dressed, with
looks of satisfaction fitting across
their dimpled faces.
They were going up and down
Broad street, discanting upon their
own beauty, as reflected from the
many plate glass windows of the
stores they passed.
There was a young clerk who
came out OF a grocery store on the
opposite side of the street. He had
on loud tie, double breasted vest
of the plaid kind, and a hat that
was loud enough to wake the man
in the moon.
The young man coughed, cleared
his throat and waved his handker-
chief in a frantic effort to attract
the attention of the bevy Of young
ladies, but they were opposite a big
glass that reflected their charms,
which gave them chance to twist
their bangs,
The young man became frantic
and placing a couple of fingers In
his mouth, blew shrill whistle, and
Immediately a half dozen heads
were turned in bis direction and a
half dozen mouths said
"Hello Charley"
This seemed to have soothing
effect on Charley" and he lighted
a cigarette and fell to work assort-
ing rotten apples from the good
ones.

He comes in from the country with
an air of Importance and solicits a
private interview from each candi-
date. He makes a tender of his
support in every instance and asks
financial assistance. He either
wants a loan or asks to be endorsed
for the amount he thinks his pro-
posed victim will stand. When he
gets through he has worked the
whole push, promising his 'valuab' e
influence to two or three men for
the same place, On the day of the
of the primaries he will work for
the man who pays him last. We
speak of this fellow as in the sim
gular number merely for conven-
fence sake. If we are to rely upon
the candidates for information his
tribe is quite numerous. How TO
get rid of such rascals is question
which the future must answer. Il.

Your Valentine Received.

The city editor wishes to thank
the idiot or imbecile, who wasted a
penny in sending him a valentine,
which doubtless is intended as a
picture representing himself. We
do not claim the likeness to be a
correct work of art, for while our
nose is built on the Roman archi-
tectudl style, it is not as red as the
picture paints it. Again while our
mouth contains as many snags per-
haps as there are in Red river, we
do not display a grinning row of
teeth made from the chips of tomb
stones, nor does our ears bag over
like a pair of Topping trousers. This
picture would be well enough of it.

pect to change front now and will

advocate of transmitting through
the mails anything that only cost a
penny. Before we close, will say
that we believe the cayote who sent
us that valentine would distill
pine top whiskey, and smuggle it
into a lunatic asylum.

Kidney disease is the enemy we
have most to fear as a result of the
feverish restlessness of our much
vaunted modern civilization. 1t is a
treacherous enemy working out its
deadly effect under cover of the
most trifling symptoms, The first
indication of changes in the urine,
frequent headaches, digestive
troubles should be the signal for
prompt remedial measures. Prickly
Ash Bitters is a kidney remedy of
superlative merit; it is soothing,
healing and strengthening, quickly
relieves the aching or soreness that
always appears in the advanced
stages, checks the progress of the
disease and through its excellent
cleansing and regulating effect in
the stomach, liver and bowels, it
brings back the strength and ruddy
glow of vigorous health. Sold by
