Political Advertising.
TURNING OF THE TIDE
VERMONT ON THE EDGE OF
POLITICAL REVOLUTION.
Machine Press Misleading Voters.
Lifelong Republican Denounces Ma
chine, Proctor Newspaper Demands
Reform, Voters Aroused.

After the recent Republican cau,u 'es,
in which there was no opposition what
ever to the machine candidate, the re-
suit was advertised in certain news
papers as a GLORIOUS VICTORY
FOR PROCTOR.
The organs of the Ring are belittling
the independent movement in the same
degree and have published columns OF
misrepresentation in the effort to show
that Proctor will have it all his own
way at the polls.
This is false and misleading in every
respect. VERMONT Is FILLED
WITH A GREAT UNREST. There is
powerful under-current OF revolt
against the continuation of ring rule.
Forty years of Proctor promises
forty years more of the same influence
and domination

GEORGIA PEACHES 8
WILL co FORWARD,
The Crop Estimated Will
Be About $500 Cars
This Season.

The fruit crop in Georgia will begin
to move in about ten days. In this
section the shipments begin about July
1st and continue until August 18th.
The crop will be fairly abundant one.
A railroad official has been making
this industry a careful study and says
there are now 500 cars of peaches in
sight in Georgia OF this number, he
estimates there are 900 cars on the
Central of Georgia north of Atlanta ;
1900 on the W. A. north of Atlanta
800 on the Chattanooga Southern north
of Atlanta 209 on the Louisville and
Nashville north of Atlanta, and $500
cars on all roads south of Atlanta, thus
making total of 800.
Even if the conditions prove unfavor-
able he believes that the crop will net
over 5000 cars, and this will be a new
record for Georgia, as up to this time
the 1904 season with 4 900 cars has held
the record. Last year the crop fell far
short, amounting only to some 2,70O
cars

A JERSEY cow =
MAKES FINE RECORD,
Six Gallons Milk aud 2IA
Pounds Butter Per Day
Is the Yield.

1t is always pleasure to chronicle
items that tell of improved stock. We
believe Marietta has COW that cannot
be exceiled in quantity of rich milk per
day, and as butter producer, she is
without an equal.
Mr.. E. H. Clay, prominent young
lawyer OF Marietta, and son of Senator
Clay. has Jersey COW raised at home,
that gives six gallons of milk per day,
and the milk produces two and half
pounds OF butter per day. While the
cow is being MIXED, butter rises on top
of the milk, showing its richness.
Mr.. Clay was offered fancy price for
this valuable cow the other Gav, but
refused to sell her at any price,
1t pays to own such fine COWS, and we
have number OF cows about here that
are yielding five gallons of milk per
day.
Cobb county is hard to beat on fine
stock, and the interest increases among
our citizens in owning fine cows, hogs,
mules and horses. This is we'll. Such
progressive methods will keep Cobb
county in the forefront, the Banner
county in the State.

SCHOOL BONDS
DEFEATED,
Indifference and a Failure
to Vote Contrib
uted to 1t.

An election called by cur City Coun-
Gil was held last Saturday on the prop
osition to issue $4,000 worth of bonds
to build an annex to our public school
building as the increased attendance
made it necessary to provide addition
al accommodations
1t required three -fourths vote OF
the qualified registered voters to carry
the election for bonds. which would
have been about 40 votes for the
bonds. But there were only ia votes
polle0 at the election 1877 for bonds
and 81 against bonds.
This lack of interest or indifference
defeated the bonds, and the question
will have to come up for decision later.
An election was also called for the
same date to issue $4,000 worth of
bonds to put in sewerage. Owing to
the fact that the present waterworks
are owned by a private corporation,
some dissatisfaction in the minds of the
people as to the charges for water was
brought about, and the City Council,
at call meeting Friday night, called
off the election for sewerage bonds un-
til more suspicious condition of af-
fairs could be arranged.
1t is probable bill will be passed by
the next legislature giving the city the
right to vote for waterworks bonds
also, and this election may be called
again.
In the meantime the City Council
could not do better thing than to thor
oughly investigate the Approximate
cost of putting in waterwO2ks than to
have civil engineer find the most
available supply of waters Chattahoo-
chez river for instance, the location of
dam, laying mains, and the total cost
of putting in waterworks in full opera
ton also the sewerage, and thus know
absolutely the cost and the amount of
bonds necessary to be issued. 1t may
be that it will take a15O,OO0 to put
these two very desirable public utili-
ties in operation. II 80, it is best to
have this information in advance, that
intelligent action can be had.
