MARIETTA IS INTERESTED.

The people of Marietta are deeply
interested in the development OF the
water powers of the State for the rea-
son that the city will soon have its own
electric lighting system and will use
the water power current if it can be
bought cheaper than electricity gen
Grated Ky steam.
The city has already installed an
electric plant in connection with the
water works and only needs to put up
the wires.
II electricity from Tallulah Is used
the machinery now on hand will he
held in reserve for use in case Of ac-
cident. II was bought originally to be
used in pumping water from Allgoods
creek and is not needed for that pur-
pose because artesian wells are fur
nishing the CITY with water
If there is any delay in developing
Tallulah Falls there will be a conse-
uuent delay in the use of that electric
ity by the city. Marietta is in that
way interested in the matter and hopes
to soon see it settled. The same thing
is true of Gainesville.
As a matter of fact all of North
Georgia is interested because wher
wires are strung over the country Tai
lulah will furnish lights for numberless
towns, power for countless farms anC
lights for farmers as well as city
folks. Few persons have any concep
ton of the tremendous development
that is involved in the proposed us'
of the water powers of the State,

THE SUPERIOR COURT.

Cobb Superior Court convened Mon
day with Judge Morris presiding and
got down to business without delay.
Judge Morris delivered a vigorous
charge directed very largely at the
trio of evils-blind tigers, concealed
weapons and gambling. He said whis-
key was the cause of from seventy
five to ninety per cent. of the crime.
He spoke of mdrders committed in the
circuit due to whisky, called attention
to Illicit distilleries broken up in the
northeastern part of the county and
the existence of blind tigers near Vim
lngs, Austell, in the western part of
Cobb and in Marietta. He urged the
grand jury to break up the blind tigers
and took shot at the pardoning Of
several notorious blind tigers that he
had fined heavily or sentenced to the
chaingang.
He called attention to the game law
and urged that 1t be enforced. The
charge also covered the other usual
grounds.
Judge Morris paid high compli-
ment to the County Commissioners for
their excellent work on the roads. He
said the county had $40 600 worth of
property exclusive of the public build
lngs and was not only out OF debt but
on the first OF January would have
$35 900 or SAC. 900 cash in the treasury
The Camp will case, which was an
appeal from the Court of Ordinary was
decided with verdict sustaining the
will
Several divorces were granted.

NESsITT.

Rev. Mr.. Lipham closed up his work
here for this conference year in good
shape last Sunday night week. His
salary of S125 was paid in full, togeth-
er with ali subscriptions and all that
was promised for other purposes. Mr..
Lipham has very greatly endeared
himself to his people here and the
church and community would be pleas.
ed to have him returned to this work
for another year.
We are sorry to note the Illness OF
Mrs. Geo. Kemp.
The very low price of cotton has
created quite an unrest among those
who are renting land in our commu-
nifty. ALI but about three or four will
change places though it don't seem to
affect the price of real estate.
In the past few days Mr.. G. E. Kim
berly has bought Mr. j. w. Fleming's
little farm of 10 IL acres for $1,000,
and Mr.. Fleming has about closed UP
deal for 140 acres of DR.. Fed Cot
tons old homestead, 2 IL miles south
east. of Powder Springs, for about
$4,000
We are reliably informed that the
ginner's report for Cobb county will be
shorter this time than it has been for
November in some years. We think it
VIII be short some all over the cot
ton belt. The extremely bad weather
is reducing the cotton crop very fast.
So. brother farmers, don't get scared
and dump your cotton on the market
at the present price. Just remember
that i've years ago the bumper crop
was made and cotton sold in February
for six cents, and in June she brought
fifteen cents. There are so many
farmers moving to town and so much
more small grain wiz be sowed this
winter than last; the SPECTATORS and
the manufacturer are we'll on their
their jobs and will know these facts
very quickly and the thing to do is to
hold fast what you have got and sin
steady in the boat

THE NEW CHARTER DE-
FEATED.

The amendment to the city
charter providing for what was
called the Commission Form oil
Government was defeated by the
voters of Marietta last Wednes-
day, the vote being 252 for and
POO against.
We regard the result as more
postponement than otherwise.
The act as drawn contained sew
eral excellent features, but it did
not provide the Commission
Form as we understand it. 1t
simply reduced the council to
three and abolished the Water
Board.
The city has just voted $4,000
for the construction of lighting
system. 1t would have been an
experiment to have abolished the
Water Board, which has made
such success of the water works
and managed the interests of the
city with such ability and faithful
ness.
The people can give a years
thought to the subject and by
next summer a satisfactory COM
mission bill may be drawn.
Our own view is that there
should be a council of six as at
present, representing various sec
tons of the city and charged with
the duty of examining accounts to
see that they are correct, acting
in an advisory capacity and pass
ing ordinances, but with no exec
utive authority There should
then be a commissioner who
would be the executive officer,
elected by the people for long
term, but subject to recall. That
would concentrate the executive
work, the authority and the re-
sponsibility, and at the same
time there would be council that
could uncover any Wrong-doing.
Such a commissioner would have
to be paid, but he would earn his
pay if he looked properly after
the affairs of this city with its
6,000 population.
If such a bill is drawn and the
people are made thoroughly ia
miliar with its provisions at a
time when it will not figure in a
campaign for city Offices and be
passed upon on its merits we shall
be glad to give it our cordial sup
port. There will be no election
next year, and bill can be con
sidered then without reference tc
either those who are holding of
fee or those who hope to hole
office.

MARTHA BERRY TAVERN
HAS HOUSE-WARMING.

Tuesday evening the Martha Ber-
ry Circle was at home to its friends
in the Black building on Atlanta
street. The Circle consists of twen-
ty-four girls and the tavern is a
suite with reception and grill rooms
divided by curtained arch. The
color scheme is snow white and
green and has been adhered to even
in the penholders and pencils be-
side the register on the desk which
was presented by Mr.. Ed. Massey.
The big crex rug is a gift from
the Haverty Furniture Company, a
dainty round table from Mr.. John
Dobbins, the cooking stove from
Joe Abbott, the heater from Mr.. ].
j. Black, the radiant moon of an
electrolier and the electric chafng
dish from friends who prefer not to
be known. Snow-white taborets
hold fine ported ferns and begonias.
Fine etchings and interesting photo
graphs adorn the walls and the Mar
tina Berry calender is tackled above
the desk.
The windows are curtained in
white and green and the dainty
cream pitchers, sugar bowls and tea
pots are lettuce green outside and
white inside. The candles in crystal
holders were green, the big vase of
pink and white chrysanthemums on
on the tea-table was green and the
girls, fresh from natures mint" as
sweet as the tender verdure of
Spring.
The swinging sign of heavy dark
oak is lettered in red " Ye Martha
Berry Tavern" and was made by
the boys at the Berry School.
Lunches will be served from
11:30 to 2:30 and from $3.50 to $50
