"POLLY OF THE CIRCUS"
 HAS GOOD COMPANY

Polly of the Circus'' with Miss Ida St. Leon in the title role, was the offering at the Elks Theater last nigh,. The house was by no means full, but much larger crowd than was anticipated witnessed one of the prettiest love stories that ha ever been written. This is "Polly's' third time in Pine Bluff and usually the third production of any of the latter day dramas does not draw we'll in Pine Bluff.
 The cast was good all the way through, especially Miss st Leon, who again scored in her unique part rider. The story is that of "a min- ister in a country town whose quiet life of Sunday school and church work is broken into by an accident which crippleis a little crcus girl She is taken into his home to re- ceive medical treatment, and fond ness grows between the two for each other that ripens into love. The narrow minded deacons of the church object to the circus girl in their midst and to prevent them from forcing the pastor to resign she runs away and rejoins the circus The pastor realizes after she is gone how empty is his life and he sets ou'. to bring her back. The last scene shows the circus wagons vending their way over the hills to ,he next village while the pastor and the girl are standing hand in hand watching the show depart.
 Miss St. Leon is good in the part. and her acting is enhanced by her girlish beauty. Joseph Harris made a good Rev John Douglas" and every other par. was in capable hands
 The scenic invl,stu're is char acteristic of the producer. Frederic Thompson.

COMMITTEE PRAISED
FOR REUNION SUCCESS
Those Who Did the Real Hard
Work Are Given
Credit.

A year ago a majority of the people
of Marietta declared the Gem City
was not capable Of entertaining the
United Confederate Veterans of Geor-
g1a should they come to our beautiful
little city for their annual reunion.
Today the praise of the Gem City
and its people resounds throughout
Georgia and more than fifteen hun
dred of those best able to say-the Vet
Grams themselves-declare emphati.
cally that Marietta gave them the best
entertainment they ever had That
they did not stay a week seems to be
the only regret of the old soldiers.
We all must admit that Marietta
never could entertain, or rather &C
commodate, so large gathering in
the same way that other cities have
in the past. We are all glad of it and
thank goodness We could not; we
don't want to and didn't try.
The whole plan of caring for the
Veterans was different from that I'M
dertaken by other cities and no better
way could have been found. Marietta
as a city and Mariettans as a people
get most of the credit for the good
times given the veterans but the
Journal feels that in view of the fact
that 80 many personal expressions
and SO many written communications
have been received in praise of the
reunion that it is due the committee
members individually to let every
body know who was behind the guns
that made that event such a success
To begin with the one who extend.
ed the invitation to the old heroes,
Miss Regina Rambo, was primarily re-
sponsible for the whole affair and to
her is due the credit for the opportu-
nifty, But she did not stop with CIV
ing Marietta the opportunity; she
worked for whole year with her soul
object to leave nothing undone to
prove to the veterans, and to those
OF Marietta who doubted, that the Gem
City could give their prospective guests
as good time as any city in Georgia
OF course she did not do all the work
and she does not claim or expect cred
it for it. But she did make the op-
portunity and one who makes an op-
portunity and then takes advantage
of it is due more credit than one who
merely sees an opportunity and takes
to it. Florence Nightingale's fame
may be broader but no army of gallant
soldiers ever had higher admiration
or deeper love for tender hearted,
beautiful woman than have Georgia's

1.-THE new State Democratic exc.
cutive committee met at the Capt..
toll in Atlanta on Wednesday al
noon and began taking evidence in
the contest between Col. H. L. Pat.
terson of Forsyth count y against
Judge N. A. Norris of Marietta.
Col. Patterson charged that the
voting in Gilmer county was illegal
in that no one who wished to vote
for him was allowed to cast his bal
lot and that names of parties known
to be for him were stricken from
the registration list by the county
executive committee of Gilmer
county.
These charges were denied by
Judge Morris who claimed that the
election was held in regular order
and that no one who wished to vote
was denied the privilege except Re-
publicans, who, it is said maintain
a regular organization in Gilmer
county and always attempt to con-
troll the Democratic elections.
1t was further alleged by the
Patterson supporters that special
registration lists were made up by
he Gilmer county executive COM
mittee and furnished the election
managers and that no one whose

rietta's young city clerk, though is a
capable man and the veterans are
praising him up for his courtesy and
kindness and even temper during such
a trying time.
Mr.. Morgan McNeel loves automo-
biles like John Boston loves horses and
the pleasure he gave the veterans with
automobile rides will live in their
memories as long as they live. Fifty
years ago those grand old men trudg-
ed the roads around Marietta pulling
heavy cannon and carrying heavy ri
f1es but last Wednesday they rode
In luxurious motor cars, gaily bedecked
in the stars and stripes with the stars
and bars floating fore and aft, they
glided over the hills and wales of the
roads around KennNsaw where so
many of their comrades were killed
in defending the flag they loved and
the principles for which they fought
There was probably no individual
number on the program that gave the
veterans more pleasure than this mo-
tor trip.
The little brass cannon that was the
property of the Georgia Military Insti-
tute before the war and which was
captured and carried away by Sher-
mans army was placed on exhibition
in the city park by Mr.. Ralph North
cutt It was an object of much inter
est and being placed in convenient
place saved many people the trip to
the confederate cemetery to see it.
If you didn't come out to see the big
parade Thursday you don't deserve to
read about it. Those who did not be-
lieve the veterans could make the long
walk in the hot sun got fooled. They
made it and still had life left. They
seemed to be rejuvenated by the mem
cries of long ago and fell in line to the
drum beat and marched the whole
route through.
Let's have them back again.

proved SO well that there was still a
place where their deeds were apprecia-
ted and where open hearts and open
homes were waiting to receive them.
Each member of the general COM
mittee that was given charge of the
detail work of caring for and enter
tanning did his duty as though he had
had a lifetime of experience III that
particular line. Capt. Fred Morris
ey and securing homes just as hard
turned business aside and worked and
wrote newspaper articles raising mon
as if he was being paid per capita
rate for the accommodations he pro-
cured and his general overseeing of
all the little details could not have
been surpassed. If you looked for him
during the two days that the veterans
were in Marietta you always found
him where he was most needed and
then he was too busy to stop unless
you had business and that important.
Capt Morris was assisted in his work
by Mr.. J. R. Fowler as treasurer and
Mr.. James H. Groves as Secretary.

of music) or not but he sure did have
plenty of those who could on the job
and no reunion was ever better provid
ed with as much or better music as
was that of last week. Mr.. Baldwin
had three bands here and as soon as
one got out of the band stand there
was another one waiting. Next time
put Len on the job again, he seems to
be on to it.
Everybody likes to eat and every
body likes good barbecue and there is
where Marietta made another big hit
when they put Mr.. E. L. Robson in
charge of the barbecue that was serv-
ed almost continuously for two days in
the Anderson Brothers warehouse.
Nobody got any but the veterans
but the people of Marietta who at
tended the fourth of July barbecue at
the waterworks can just remember
what Mr.. Robson had up there. They
say (but they will have to prove it,
that he eclipsed chat Fourth of July
affair but personally % don't believe
it.
You saw all the decorations. Mr.. c.
w. DuPre had charge of that. If a
little city ever was So deliberately or
appropriately decorated for such an
occasion it would have to be seen to
be believed.
The assignment of veterans To
homes was one of the biggest tasks
of the whole reunion and no more ca
pable or proper person for this work
could have been chosen than Mr.. w.
NJ Fleming. AS fast as the veterans
arrived they went to his Office in the
court house and registered their names
and cities and were given direction to
and name of some one where they
could be perfectly at home. Mr.. Elem
ing is young man and hustler and
in only a few hours actual working
time he handled more than fifteen
hundred veterans. That would be a
big job even if those handled were
young and active but to handle so
many men who were hardly able to
get about was a task of no ease. Ma

Thursday morning Judge Morris
took the stand in his own behalf
and under oath denied the charges
of fraud brought by Col. Patterson
The main point on which the con-
test was based was an alleged con-
versation between Judge Morris and
Bart Cox on the night of the cleo
ton. 1t was charged that Judge
Morris telephoned Cox and told him
that the election in Cobb had gone
against him and that he was de-
pending an Gilme~ to do the right
thing'. This was inferred by the
Patterson adherents to mean that
Judge Morris directed Cox to fix
the returns from Gilmer so as to
offset the vote rgainst him in Cobb.
W. A. DuPre, r. A. Manning and
j. M. Austin, of Marietta, and John
Howell telephone operators at Jas
per, Ca, all testified that they
heard several conversations between
Judge Morris and Will Richards on
the night of the election and that
Cox's name was not mentioned.
Richards admitted that he was the
man to whom Judge Morris tele-
phoned and that Cox's name was
not mentioned.
