CAR FOR RUSH HOURS
CAN'T Be TAKEN Off.
The Railroad Commission
Refuses Request Of
A. N. II. r..

Inc street car company, which was
ordered last November to put ON an
extra car to and from Marietta dur
ing the rush hours, applied to the
railroad commission for permission to
take it off. and the hearing was set
for Friday.
The car has been leaving Atlanta
at p. m. and Marietta at a. m. It
was supposed to be through car but
as 1t followed the local car 1t has
been regarded as something of joke.
In fact, people generally have never
understood the rules and regulations
in regard to the car, and it has been
accepted as deliberate effort of the
company to nullify the effort of the
Railroad Commission to do something
for the people of Marietta.
The company, leaving out the rush
days about Christmas, claimed that
during December only 14S persons
would have been compelled to stand if
but one car had been run at six
o'clock.
The Marietta petitioners who have
been trying to better the car service.
sent letter to the commission pro-
testing against the car being talAen
on. and protesting against compelling
14S persons In twenty one days to
stand In the aisles after having paid
their fare. ~
The commission heard the case Fri
day and refused to let the car he TAX
en- off.

And, Of course, indigestion IL neg
lected long enough, brings on seri-
GUS diseases In which Kodol cannot
benefit you. Some Of these there
Is no help for at all.
There are, In fact, very few all
ments which cannot be traced d.
Tectly to impure blood. And i'm
pure blood is always due to a dis
ordered stomach.
Use Kodol and prevent Nervous
Dyspepsia.
Kodol will effectua1ly assist Ma.
ture to secure a complete restora-
ton Of good digestion. 1t does
this by at once digesting all food
in the stomach and keeping it d.
gested, until the stomach is rested
and can resume its own work. Ko-
del removes the cause-and the
eject quickly removes itself.
When 1t Is recalled that Apo
plexy, Heart Disease, Cancer--and
even Consumption--are due to
poor digestion and poisons thus
transmitted to the blood. and
throughout the systematic impor-
lance OF maintaining good diges-
ton ia at once realized.

A KNOCK FOR THE kNockER.

The Dalton Argus publishes an edi-
torial on "The Knocker." which ia so
good that We give it space In it's en-
tirety. Here it Is

ei-head, penurious. selfish, suspicious,
whining, hesitating, near-sighted fell
low. His eyes have a fondness for
scarecrows and skeletons; his ears
seem to itch for grunts, groans and
shrieks OF distress. His voice seems
a strange combination of the squeal
of a pig, the bray of donkey and the
growl Of an old coffee mill. Perfume
to him is nauseating. He delights to
talk of the inequalities of life, the CD
preston of government, business fail
ures, and is prophet of evil. To him
the future is dungeon of horrows.
lie says conditions have grown worse
for long time and will do SO faster
in the future. He has all the horrors
OF memories without any pleasures of
hope. He is miserable when he is
happy; happy when he is miserable.

gives him a nightmare. Stagnation is
his ideal condition. He does not be-
lieve in any outlay for building of
schools, or churches, roads, bridges,
water works, sewers, sidewalks, pave
ments or any public Improvements.
Because our fathers did not have all
of them, he does not believe in leav-
ing these things for his children, but
wants them to take care of them
selves as he has done. He dwells
among the tonbs, holds communion
with the mummies, seems worried
that he is alive, and is glad that he is
going to die.
"A knocker is worse than a wart on
the public nose. He is cancerous
growth upon the face of social beauty.
He is the tuberculosis of life. He is
crick in the neck, a catch in the
back, the string haired balky horse in
the team, break upon the wagon up
hill, the leak in the steam-chest of the
engine, the short circuit of the cleo
trio battery, the discordant note in
music. Men with healthy spirits for
public improvements shun him as
they would leper, tread on him as
serpent and despise him as a howl
ing coyote.

IN SHADOW OF DEATH
WEBB WRITES POETRY.
Wants Lily Planted over
His Grave-Composes
a New Pilgrims
Progress"

Willard Webb, who is to be hanged
on Friday, February 4, occupies a
cell on the second floor OF Cobb coun.
ty Jail, and spends most of his time
lying on a cot reading his Bible.
He has in the last few days written
an article of several columns in length
entitled. THE Pilgrims Progress: A
Truth Foundation of One Poor Man"
Webb does not mention John Bun
yam, but seems to liken his own con-
dition in Jail to that of the immortal
author who composed while in prison
one of the worlds most famous books.
Pilgrims Progress" as written by
Webb, is very urgent appeal to sin.
ners to tell the truth and turn to God.
He says he has been tossed from
wave to wave, but that now he has
gained his course, the winds are calm.
and he sees the lighthouse in the har.
bor He says he is innocent of the
crime Of which he was convicted.
Under a sub-heading, Deaths
Doom" Webb drops into poetry. He
says:
II have been condemned to the gal.
lows:
They mean to bang me high.
They are going to gather around me
there,
And watch me till die.
THE crazy mob will shout and groan,
THE peaceful read of prayer,
The trap will fall beneath my feet
And leave me in the air.
He quits poetry long enough to say
he will swear he is innocent and pro-
ceeds:
my enemies are striving against
me, and are waiting for me to be
hung.
'All earthly joy has vanished now,
And gone each mortal hope,
They will draw a cap across my
eyes,
And round my neck a rope"
Il know that | am innocent,
And God is on my side:
The ways Of life on earth are narrow,
"But heavens fields are wide"
When Death shall cleave to my
body and they have committed murder
on ne, then the very God of heaven
shall deliver me, and it will be seen
then that they have murdered the
wrong man"
He forgives everybody, however,
and adds that when he has been
hung
Lay me in my coffin,
las you have sometimes seen me
rest
Put one Of my hands beneath my
head,
and the other upon my breast;
And pray 10 God for His great mer-
cies,
"On my devoted head,
And plant lily on my grave,
And think Of me no more when |
am dead"
The article written by Webb is to
)e left for his relatives after he has
been executed.
Webb has a wife and one child. He
says he is member of Zion church
1t Roswell He is dark mulatto and
appears to be about thirty-five or for
y years Of age His handwriting is
good and he seems to nave had a
rood common school education. The
rhine for which he will be hung was
near Winnings last summer.
