BIG BUSINESS BLOCK
HAS NARROW ESCAPE
Fire Discovered in Building
Recently Sold by Judge
Geo. F. Gober.

Several we'll known citizens were
standing Sunday afternoon in front
of the block of buildings sold last
week by Judge Gober to Messrs.
Blair and Mckenzie when the odor
of smoke became very pronounced.
A hunt for the fire started at once
One of the party ran up the steps
and shouted:
Here it is boys! Come quick"
A blaze five feet high, which had
started in a pile of waste paper in
the hall, was rapidly making it's way
up the wall and for a few minutes
there was a lively fight The blaze
was extinguished but it left a big
charred spot on the wall
1t is supposed that a small boy who
had gone through the hall tossed a
lighted match into the trash without
noticing what he was doing. But for
timely discovery the entire block
might have been burned.

NEW WATER SYSTEM
FOR THE GEM CITY
Commissioners Decline Mr..
Woodruff's Proposition and
Order New Pipe.

The Water Commissioners have de-
clined Mr.. Ernest Woodruff's propo-
sition in regard to the Public Service
Company's water system and are 60
ing ahead with a new system for the
city. The pipe has been ordered, the
contract for the work is ready to be
signed and the matter will be closed
up in day or two.
Mr.. Woodruff was offered $4,000
and the Commissioners would proba-
bly, have squeezed the figures up to
$4,000 Mr.. Woodruff finally got
down to $4,000, to be paid $4,000 in
cash and $4,000 in notes extending
over four years, but he had stipula-
ton in regard to water which was
10000 gallons a day free and 100000
gallons day at cents a thousand
gallons, which would mean 10000
gallons a day for SO. If the entire
city paid that rate the income from
the water works would be SO a day,
which Mr. Woodruff figures would be
So profit. 1t is said, however, the peo-
pie of Marietta are now paying about
$4,000 year for water.
Mr.. Woodruff having failed to trade
with the Commissioners has written
them a letter urging that they arrange
to provide his mill with 100000 to
100000 gallons of water a day at the
rates fixed for other manufacturers
1t is supposed he will take the posi-
tion that the Blackjack Mountain
source will not supply that amount
and that he will use that alleged fact
in any litigation he may start But
the Commissioners will notify him
that he will be furnished with the
amount of water wanted if he will
contract to take it.
The Commissioners have very ear
nestly tried to adjust the matters
with Mr.. Woodruff and as they have
been unable to do so they are going
ahead with the great work which the
people of Marietta cut out for them
when they voted for the bond issue In
order to get good water and neces
sary fire protection.

5. c. M'LENDON WINS
AGAINST GOV. SMITH
Judge Charlton Holds That He
Was Illegally Fired From
Office.

The case of S. G.. McLendon,
the railroad commissioner, who
was removed by Governor Hoke
Smith and the Georgia legisla-
ture, has been decided in favor of
McLendon.
Judge Charlton, in the Supe-
rior Court in Savannah, holds
that McLendon was illegally re-
moved and that the proper course
would have been impeachment
proceedings. Such proceedings
would have required a two-thlrds
vote in the senate and it is adj
mitted that such a vote against
McLendon could not have been
obtained.
The main ground for firing
McLendon was that he had flop
ped in port rates and gone over
to the railroads. 1t developed
later that he had been dealing in
Athens railroad bonds and had
made $500.
Mr.. Joseph F. Gray, of Savan-
nah, who was appointed by Gov
ernor Brown to succeed McLen-
don, will appeal to the Supreme
Court.
1t is the irony of fate that this
decision against Governor Smith
is made by one of his own APP
pointees-Judge Charlton.
The Supreme Court will prob
ably sustain Judge Charlton and
it will be up to the legislature to
abolish the present commission
and get new one or swallow
McLendon, bond deal and all.

COTTON GOES SKYWARD;
FARMERS ARE HAPPY
Three-Fourths of Crop Already
Sold and They Have
the Money.

These are happy days with the Cobb
County farmers. Three-fourths of their
cotton has been sold and the money has
gone to them instead of to the specula-
tors as was largely the case in the Sully
year. Debts have been paid, some of
which have been hanging fire for ten or
twelve years.
The price Wednesday ranged from IL
cents for the worst storm cotton to 154 &.
The prediction is made that cotton will
go to I6 and it may go even higher.
The farmers, however, who would rather
have good, safe thing than risk are
selling their cotton, and they find Mari
eta good market,

Spanish, but it brought the mon
ey at the postoffice. The goods
were forwarded to Cuba-rather

contemptuous snort from the Newly Married One, at this point, interrupted the disserta- ton. In moment, the Bachelor continued:
 "The funny feature of this love maady is that it is violently contagious. And yet, the means by which it is communicated are very obscure. The general manner of catching it is, though, something like this: A man, say, meets passably good looking and intelligent woman-the woman need not always be intel ligent Their eyes flash some cryptic message, a la Marconi, their hands touch inadvertent- ly, and To ! both the man and the woman have the Love malady in its most virulent form. The ailment is then, however, only in its in- cipient period. The second stage is marked by dlstrait manner an agreement that tastes are mutual, a concurrence of opinion as to the divine quality of the moonlight, and then, with all speed to the church.
 "The beginning of the cure comes, of course, after marriage, or with marriage, to be exact The deluded victims of the Love ailment discover by degrees that the universe holds something of interest to them besides each other, and straightway they become pos sessed of great restlessness. For this, in its most modern form, there Is no soace in such simple home remedies as forbearance, resignation, and the like, that our grandpar- ents resorted to. The popular opinion is that nothing short of a term of residence at some wateringplace like Sioux Falls, South Dako- ta, will give relief from this marital unrest. And even after one attack and cure, neither the man nor the woman is immune from re- currence of the malady in form more acute than at first. A most mysterious afficton is Love"
 The sound of scraping chairs and the sud den thld ot' pair of feet dropped from the railing of the Cynics' circle interrupted the monologue at this point A moment later, l saw the Newly Married Man burst through the baldheaded row on the sidewalk below and vanish in the direction of East Globe. And, verify, my heart went out to him in sympathy. As for the Bachelor, l am unde cided whether he is of the disappointed or hopeful type. In any case l hope he gets long term in what he calls a "conjugal asylum" Truly what is in bachelors mind passeth all understanding, even his own. Selah!

band has not always received the support of the community, in a financial way, that it well de- serves. Globe has a good band-in fact one of the best bands in city of anything like this size anywhere-and they have been allowed to work out their own destiny, pay their own hall rent, pay for their own music and many other incidental expenses, all for the privilege of ren- dering free concerts on Saturday evenings in the summer. And now they have not even a place which they may call their own in which to render their concerts.
 Globe needs band stand.
 Globe should be, and is, willing to give en- thusiastic support to its chief musical organiza- ton.
 The citizenship of Globe is generous and lib eral, and willing to pay the shot.
 All that is necessary is for some public spirit ed group of citizens to take the lead, and no diff fculty will be encountered in obtaining plenty of money by private subscription to not only build creditabe music pavilion, but to lend permanent financial support to high-class musical organization
 A band concert in the evening brings the people out on the streets. When the streets are full business with the merchants is good. A small monthly investment in music for the pub lic will bring golden harvest in return to the downtown merchant Let us see what can be done about this.
 And again. Globe has good band and band of which she may we'll be proud.
 Apropos of additional recreation, the vacant backgrounds to the south of the city are deserv- ing of our attention. In this athletic field we have a property that would lend itself readily to various amusement plans. Whether it would be profitable if revived as baseball field is a question: but if some people of enterprise would initiate some form of entertainment there at intervals, it would, doubtless get good support A general amusement park with vaudeville and similar entertainment would perhaps be feasible, and would have the ad- vantage of permitting the audience to be in the open air while taking its recreation. Any inno- cent amusement that induces people to get out under the blue sky after the work of the day is sure to help elevate mankind.

FOR MORE RECREATION

With the coming of the hot weather season the minds of the populace of any city turn nat uraly to forms of recreation that, in many cases, have been almost forgotten or at least remain in our memories only as pleasant recol- lectons Of past good times. The public in it's search for amusement is more tickle than the proverblal maiden who coquettes with her lovers by the "sad sea waves'' Something new, and again, something new is the ever pre- vailing cry that is set up by the mass of people, which, after toling and moiling in the mart for ten or twelve hours of the day, craves in the evening hours, some panacea for mental wear and strain
 During its hours of toll. the mind has become accustomed to working along certain grooves. Having had our mental machinery engaged in a restless whirring throughout the day, we often find difficulty in bringing it to a halt when night comes Do what we will, the business in- terests that have monopolized our attention during the day refuse to be busted from our thoughts with the locking of the door of store or office. So then, in the evening it is but natural that we should fly to theaters whists or concerts for relaxation. Some harmless amusement to drug thought, to stop that cease less activity of brain is what we are all on the search for
 Granted that this great need of recreation ex- ists we should promote the interests calculated to satisfy our desire to be entertained. The theaters and kindred amusement haunts fulfill an important mission in our daily lives. And the band concert is an institution to which the public should pay tribute with it's presence and its support, moral and financial Few experi- ences of our everyday living are more uplifting and refining in their influence than to get out under Gods starlit sky of an evening and hear good music. Shakespeare was not uttering bombast when he said. He whose soul is not moved by concourse of sweet sounds is fit for stratagems and spoils." Yes, the open-air con cert is a form of recreation that has come to stay. and let us hope that in the future, the number given in Globe will be greater than it is at present Whereas, at present the band plays in public only once week, it would be to the advantage of the city in more ways than one if our corps of musicians could be induced to give concerts two or three times a week.
 And in this connection it is we'll to call the at tention of the public to the fact that Globe City

THE BACHELOR DISCOURSES
By Maude Marie

Now for what follows hereafter I do not claim responsibility further than to say that I overheard it all from the Bachelor, the same old Bachelor of whom have spoken be- fore. There is only one Bachelor and his name is written with capital B. What think of him applies to all of his kind, for they are all surprisingly alike, in the essen tials.
 But to continue, l was swaying to and fro in the hammock on the second balcony of the Dominion hotel, just within reach of the pot ponrri of odors that is waited upward from the cigars of many nations in the baldheaded- ed row, to borrow theatrical expression. From the balcony above, which, for sake of convenience, we will call the cynics' circle, I heard the deep basso of the Bachelor in de- sultory discussion with the Newly Married Man.
 From still higher up in the family row, I could detect the shril falsetto of what ad- judged to be the sutfragette head of some family directing tirade at her inferior half. And, manifestly, he was getting much the worst of it, if the infrequency of his replies was any indication.
 I was lying in hammock, say, and for lack of any better occupation, I was using my hands as a telescope to look at the moon with. Did you ever do this, 1 wonder? You just partially close your fists, place one upon the other and use them as you would field glass. By decreasing the size of the opening of the impromptu telescope, you can make the man in the moon look infinitesmal. Foolish, isn't ita But just try it sometime. It's pity all women can't look at the man they think they are in love with through some such contrivance, instead of seeing his virtues through a high-power telescope, as they or dinarily do.
 But not to digress further, without the least intention of eaves-dropping, l over heard the Bachelor saying: "Love is noth- ing more nor less than disease. It general ly attacks the young but when an older per son is assailed by it, his chances of surviving the attack are not worth thinking of Now a young man or woman may have successive at tacks varying in duration and severity, but l never knew few years in the matrimonial straightjacket to fail to effect a cure. e.' A
