THE BEST SHOW
Of THE SEASON
Tempest and Sunshine at
the Armory Saturday
Night.

The Marietta Rifles have been for
tunate enough to secure Tempest and
Sunshine, the decentralization of the
book OF that name, by Mary J. Holmes,
for Saturday night This piece of
good luck is due to a confusion of
dates.
Every one who can possibly do so
should see this production
The story briefly sketched of this
famous novel is as follows:
The play has as its foundation the
contrasts of character in the two sis
tiers, out of which grow naturally and
inevitably, the episodes and entangle-
ments which combine to make the
plot. DR.. Lacy is, by virtue of his re-
lations with them both, so involved
in their interests as to become the
central figure of the story Tempest's
rather passionate nature leads her into
mistakes which bring her the most
serious consequences, though she is
by no means the sort of woman whose
conduct can be made the subject of
reprobation. Sunshine is the direct
opposite of her sister, being a lovable
golden haired girl of laughing sunny
disposition. The william of the play is
personated by the village postmaster
Joseph Dunn, at first a mysterious in
diVidual, but who afterwards turns
out to be rather a common kind of
criminal
The play is entertaining, and well
told, pure, sweet, an idyl of loyalty
of love, thrills through and through
with the tender grace Of a day that is
dead.
The cOstuming is quaint and pretty,
the gowns being of airy, summary
stuffs, made in the fashion of 1850,
which is the period of the play Beau
tiful southern melodies are introduced
throughout.
All who desire to see a first-class
production, presented in a irst-class
manner, should not fail to see ITEM
spest and Sunshine" at the Armory
Saturday night, April 16.

Compelled to Vote at Home
Precinct.

1t is probably well to again call the
attention Of the voters Of Cobb county
to the fact that in al elections, whether
primary or general, they are compelled
to east their ballots at the home pre-
cinct. The former practice was to
permit voter from the country to
vote il ne saw proper at the county
seat, but this was changed by the
Legislature Of 1908 by ensctine tn
following cluse to the election law:
"Section . he 1t enacted, that no
elect shall vote in any such primary
election in q military district other
than the one in which he resides, or,
il he resides in q city, in ward other
than the one in whico b. resides, if an
election precilc; IL i3cotcd ia such
ward"

PITTSBURG PEOPLE
WILL WORK VERY HARD
Hospitals and Office Buildings Go To-
gether.

Pittsburg, Pa, August 18-Owner5
Of the large office buildings of Pitts
burg lave agreed that each building
IN which there are 1000 or more OF
flee occupants shall be equipped with
an emerency hospital in which per
sons becoming suddenly i'll can oe
taken care of for the time. There are
SO many gir.s employed in tie Office
buildings OF Pittsburg that this has
become necessary. Each emergency
hospital will be equipped with train
ed nurse on duty during all office
hours and have refrigerators for ice
and hospital medicine chest. Tele-
phines will be installed for quick CON
nection with the city hospitals.
United States Senator Oliver has
taken the initiative in this work ani
has opened an emergency hospital IN
tile new Oliver building here. The
first report on this hospital which has
been made to others contemplating
the same move has been that an av-
erage of six persons have been treat
ed daily in this little hospital and that
no more than half this number were
employees The nurse employed in
the new hospital has asked for an as

THE CITl'S TAX LIMITS
A SUBJECT OF DEBATE
Where Does the Limits
Now Extend?
South Lee Street Prop
erty Owners May Be
Paying City Tax Un-
necessarily.

Has the city been taxing some prop
arty out on south Lee street and its
adjacent neighborhood that is really
not within the city's taxable limits?
That is a question that was brougnt
up at the last meeting of council al
the request of Capt. Culpepper tha;
the council take steps to compensate
him and his son for damages done t
their property by the raising of the
grade away out ON the southern enc
of Lee street.
AS a result of the regarding of tho
street, the Culpepper house now stands
abiut three feet below the level ol
the street. 1t will be necessary tc
raise it as a result of the city's work
and the owners believe that they
should be recompensed by the city
for the expense put upon them.
Mayor Fielder and Alderman Aller
were of the opinion that the prop
erty in question was outside of tn,
city's taxable limits.
IF it is, gentlemen, | have been pay
ing city taxes for some years." sale
Capt. Culpepper quietly. How abou
that?"
Mayor Fielder stated that the cit,
limits were one and a quarter miles
from the water tower in all direc
lions and inasmuck as posts sometime.
were removed and not replaced prop.
erly it would be we'll to have the cit,
engineer make the measurements an.
determine tie exact status of affairs
The mayor believed that the triangl
lar section out there was not in III.
city's tax limits, but was merely mad,
wuthin the police jurisdiction wher
The old street railway was runnig ou
there.
There seemed to be a decided diffet.
ence of opinion among the aldermen
on this point. 1t was finally decided
on motion of Alderman Allen to refe,
the matter to the city attorney for 8
report Mayor Fielder insisted tha
the proper course was to let the cit,
engineer cooperate and make tn,
measurements, so as not have further
delay.
If the city limits are where some
of the council think, then evidently
some of the property owners on there
have been paying city taxes for SOM
years without due warrant of law
If such would prove to be the case
will they get it all back in a lump
And if so, how and when
Ii the south Lee street limits prove
to be wrong, so far as the present
limit posts go, it may be decided tc
do some measuring in other directions
to make sure as to where the city gov
ernment stands in tax matters.

TO MAKE LIBRARY

A box will probably be opened at

sible for Mrs. Taylor, the librarian,
to get a line" on the wishes of tn,
reading part of the community aud
acquaint herself with the relative pop
ularity of the various books that are
desired for the library.
This system has been adopted in a
number Of libraries throughout the
country and has worked admirably.
Cards are provided and users of tae
library are requested to make their
wants known, giving TIE names OF
books they would like to read and
signing the cards with their names.
AT the end of every week or two the
Iresults are collated and the books for
(which there seems to he a sufficient
demand to justify tie expenditure are
purchased.
1T is the desire of the librarian to
make the library as popular and as
useful to the public as possible. Any
plan that will draw its working sys-
tenn and the public into closer CO.
operation is to be welcomed and there
is hardly a doubt but that tie pro
posed method of permitting the mem

become Immediately popular.

MARKET FOR COTTON SEED
NOT BRISK AT PRESENT
Very Few Offered Americas Mills at
This Time.

Americas oil mills have made NO
purchases OF cotton seed of the new
crop as yet; in fact, there is no
market yet for this great field prod
uct, as but little new cotton las been
ginned and the prices paid are on a
oasis with last season, SO the dealers
here have announced.
Probably not hundred bushels q,
green seed have been sold here, and
there are few offering.
The statement in the Times-Recor-
der yesterday regarding the proba-
oily price of cotton seed rather SUI
prised local buyers, who were not
aware that any such conditions exist
ed here.
10 the end Of securing information
regarding prices, they wired Dawson
Cuthbert, Cordele( Albany and other
places where seed are marketed. Co.
dele and Dawson dealers quoted Sc ID
at $40 per ton, while Albany dealers
paid only $1S.
When the market opens here a weal,
hence, the dealers say, prices will DE
around $40 per ton, although seed
sold here last season on the operiua
at SIC per ton. That they will be
higher this year is rather to be ex,
pected, owing to the short crop last
season and this as well, as seems as
sured.
There are few old seed carried Owe:
and not enough of the new stock Is
yet in to form a basis of prices for this
very valuable crop.
