COBB CQyH1Y WILL

FIGHf \
eoDER AMI MoRRNSEAcLSgTs
STILL ENGAGED IN POLITICAL
BATTLE-5oTH SIDES NOW
HAVE NEWSPAPER.

Marietta, April 4-There Is evi
IDENTIFY going to be some more lively
political skirmishing in Cobb county
Cobb has been known for years as
notbed OF politics of the warm sort
and the present indications are that
there is no likelihood of harmony. at
least not in the immediate present.
The latest Indication is the report
ed purchase of Judge George F. Go
Der, OF his friends and supporters of
the Marietta Journal, wnich it Is
stated, viii become a Gober organ.
This gives both sides a newspaper.
the Cobb County Courier owned
by Hon. Newt A. Morris and man
aged by Fred Morris. his brother
Thus harmony seems farther off
taan ever. 1t is to be the same old
battle, it seems, between the Gober
and the Morris factions, 1t was re.
ported also that the Gober people
were on the lookout for a redhot
editorial writer. one of the sizzling
sort, to run that end of the game.
OF course all of this means some
thing. and it mas been pretty well
understood that Mr. Morris would
make another race for the judgeship
of the Blue Ridge circuit for which
he was defeated by Judge Eober
three years ago Mr.. Morris, II is
stated. means this time to make tne
fight OF his life His opponents
know it and it would appear they
are getting ready for him.
1t was reported that Judge Gober
would not be in the race. but later
reports throw some doubt on that
matter. The purchase Of tne. news
paper is in itself significant.
On the other hand it has been the
belief that things wero shnpins up
for the present solicitor general cr
tae circuit, Hon b. f. Simpson, to
make the race for judge. who, if
he runs, will undoubtedly have the
support of the Gober element.
In any event the situation is al
ready becoming interesting and the
two rival weeklies viii be closely
watched for developments.

ON A BICYCLE
Rider With the Parker Carnival
Company Now in Distress over
Broken Wheel.

"hiI Seseational Smftbson lean the
gap on his bicycle at the upellsl9
of the carnival Monday night? This
is the question that is worrying the
MANAGEMENT Of the Parker Carui-
val Company great deal for the
last day or two. The cause of the
trouble Is a broken wheel which it
is necessary to replace by a spec.
tally constructed one before Smith.
son can do his act. AS the matter
now stands it is a race between the
railroads and time
A few days aog Smlthson broke
tae front wheel Of the bicycle he
uses in his act and after trying to
mend the break he found it would
be necessary to have another wheel
shipped bim The wheel he uses
is made in San Francisco especr
tally for aim and the factory making
them Is the only one In the country
that has the measurements. 1t
would therefore be necessary to have
them make up a wheel and get it
here in time for the opening Mon
day night. Teelgrams began to fly
fast and furoiusly to the factory in
San Francisco and the last one red:
Make wheel and and ship immediate
ly Imperative! The answer was:
Wheel will reach you in time for
opening" Then began the race
against time. The foundry wired
yesterday that the wheel had been
made and placed in the express Of
fee with instructions to rush through
to Brunswick It is impossible to
trace the wheel from Brunswick but
the factory has the orders Of mana
ger Kennedy, Of the Great Parker
Amusement Company to follow the
shipment up closely with tracers
sparing neither expense nor trouble
to get the wheel here on time. In
tneJ meantime Smithson is
on the edge for fear the wheel will
rot reach here. AS a matter Of prof.
essional pride he feels that it is up
to him to open the show with his
great act Monday night and as he
stated yesterday he broke his own
wheel and he would cheerfully part
With half his own salary if it
would. get the other here on time.
The Parker Amusement Company
started moving their big wagons yes
terday to thu grounds at the corn I
of Gloucester and OglethorIe
streets, where the shows were
given last year. At 7,30 promptly
next Monday night, If his wheel
reaches Brunswick in time, Sensa
tional Smithson will open the week 6
carnival with his wonderful ride OF
death-Ieaping the gap on bicy
Gle. This is one Of the great free
acts of the Parker shows and as a
sensational feature It is easily in
J the class with the big circuseS
throughout the country and far u
advance of those o fthe sma1er ag

IL. regard to a black Maria" for the
city. brunswick is now large enough
for sucn an Improvement and
it would be one of the best things
that the city could do. 1t is not
proposed to put in a call alarm at
present but instead telephones
could be established at almost every
corner in the city locked in small
boxes, each officer carrying a key
then waen an arrest was made the
officer could phone to the barracks
for the patrol wagon. It would then
only be necessary to have an ad-
ditional horse, the wagon and driver,
as an officer is now always in the
hole, as they call it, and this man
could go out on the wagon.
Often these days ladies are com
PEELED to witness the disgraceful
scene Of seeing drunken men drag
ged to jail. often with his clothing
half torn off and using profane Ian
guage as he passes through the
streets. Invariably the officers are
compelled to cross Newcastle street
almost in the center of the city in
order to reach the barracks with
these drunken men. With but little
additional expense the city could
establish the black Maria" and all
oil this would be avoided.
It is understood that majority OF
the members Of the police committe
of council are in favor Of electing
the new officer for the department
and also a desk sargeant and putting
'on the patrol wagon. and it is likely
that the matter Will come up in coun-
cu before long.
