A GIANT OF THE FOREST
CUTS 1000 FEET LUMBER

Mr.. w. p. Watts, who lives on Mr..
Griggs' place. at the two Mile creek,
delivered to the Brumby Chair com.
pany a few days ago a tree for which
he was paid $1O775
1t was veritable giant of the for
est. The largest diameter was five
feet and two inches, and at the small
end of the top cut it was thirty-three
inches Five cuts were obtained of a
total length of fifty-eight feet, and
from the tree the Brumby Chair com
pany cut four thousand feet of lum-
Der.
Do the land owners of this section
OF the State realize how quickly the
hardwood trees on their property can
be converted into cash at the highest
market price right here in our town ?
This company has a band saw mill,
which is run in connection with their
plant and with which they convert
these trees into the finest quality of
lumber to be used in the manufacture
of chairs.

PLUNGE Of 1903 FEET
TAKEN BY HIGH DIVER
Big Crowds Gather to See
Capt. Nick Carter do a
Hair-Raising Act.

The sensation in Marietta for the
last week has been the high diving of
Captain Nick Carter, who has taken
plunge every afternoon and at night
from the top of ladder 103 feet in
height into tank of water. Captain
Carter is the worlds champion high
diver, with record dive of 189 feet
made from the superstructure of
bridge at Louisville, KY.
Captain Carter came to Marietta
last week with Mr.. Jack Mitchell,
who is citizen of this city, and who
for number of years has been highly
successful in the merry go-round
business, travelling over the country.
The high diver attracts the crowds for
the merry-go-round, and the enter
prise evidently pays Mr.. Mitchell, for
he does land Office business"
The ladder from which the dive is
made is located opposite the court
house on the vacant lot between the
Singer Sewing Machine Office and the
wagon factory of Mr.. w. w. Wat
kins. 1t consists of seven sections of
fourteen feet each, the whole being
held in position by number of guy
wires. At the top is small platform
upon which Captain Carter stands,
one hundred and three feet above the
ground. On the ground, seven feet
and four inches from the foot of the
ladder, is tank thirteen and half
feet long, nine feet three inches
across, and four feet deep.
Twice day Captain Carter climbs
the ladder, and dressed in tights
weighs 148 pounds. He is we'll built
like an athlete. He stands on the
platform with his back to the tank,
far up above the crowds that wait ex-
pectantly to see the plunge. Finally
he stands erect with his back to the
tank, leans backward, slowly turns
over in the air and in an instant is
plunging downward the frightful dis
lance of hundred feet. He exactly
turns a somersault and strikes the wa
ter on his heels at an angle that shoots
him into the water at one end of the
tank and up at the other. Just as
he strikes he takes full breath and
sets his body rigid, and like a crook
ed arrow, goes in, glances past the
bottom and comes up at the other
end. If he were to strike the water
fiat it would kill him. If he were to
miss the tank it would kill him.
AT night gasoline is poured on the
water, and ignited, and the Captain
dives into a tank of fire.
Captain Carter made his first dive
in 1900 at Alma, Michigan. 1t was
in 1903 that he dived from the super
structure of the Big Four bridge at
Louisville into the river, distance of
189 feet. Steve Brodie's jump from
Brooklyn bridge, was 164 feet.
Captain Carter's home is in Rich
mond, Va. He and Mr.. Mitchell will
be in Marietta until Saturday, and
will probably go from this city to
Atlanta.

STREET CARS SHOULD STOP
AT MARIETTA P0STOEFICE,
EDITOR MARIETTA JOURNAL /:

EDITOR MARIETTA JOURNAL:
Let me suggest that you use your
influence with the city authorities to
have the electric cars to stop at the Ma
rietta post Office when a passenger
wants to get on or off. as to-day at 8 q.
m. | attempted to get them to stop, and
no attention was paid, or any signal
where / could get on.
This is the only place between New
York and San Francisco where l have
ever known electric cars refuse to stop
for passengers at post Office. sug-
gest, il they will not, to then nave them
post sign cards, Gears do not stop
here, but do at the court house corner
every hour in the day"
Yours truly,
r. p. SIBLEY.
The suggestion made by Mr.. Sibley
is in line with the convenience OF the
public, and we see no reason why it
should not be adopted by the street car
company without action Dy the city
council.
1t frequently happens that a man
wishes to get his mail just as car is
leaving, and it an unnecessary hard
ship to compel him to walk back to the
court house in order to board car.
Again, men coming in from Atlanta
wish to stop at the post office and get
their mail, and it would be convent
ence if they were permitted to get off
the car at that point
The street cars in Atlanta stop at
practically every corner.
We feel sure that the management
OF the Atlanta and Northern will act
promptly on this suggestion that the
post Office be made one Of the stopping
places Of the cars.
