Mr.. Jack Smith, of Atlanta, so well
known for his good humored prejudices
and incorporating preferences, also
as the designer of an apartment house
called 1.-THE House that Jack Built, :"
has been,visiting relatives in Marietta.
He spent Wednesday night with Mr..
and Mrs. S. A. Anderson and visited
Mrs. C. A. Reynolds, Mrs. w. ]. Man
ming and Mr.. Gus Lindley before re-
turning to his home in Atlanta. Mr..
Jim Camp, of Atlanta, and Prof. Joe
Camp, of Douglasville, accompanied
him.
Mr.. ]. M. Fowler, Mr.. Fred Dunn,
DR.. Elder and Prof. Langford enjoyed
feast on the bank of the Chattahoo-
chez Thursday night. Several days be-
fore "trot line" had been stretched
across the river to catch the fish. The
man who inspected this line reported
Friday that its hooks were full, so none
of these four friends ''had other fish to
fry" that evening. A riverside caterer
furnished corn bread and coffee and the
city men did all the rest.
Major Commerford has made a re-
quest of the War Department at Wash
ington for two companies of the 18th
regiment, stationed in Atlanta under
Col. Van Orsdale, to come to Marietta
on the Both of May to attend the
memorial exercises. A military band
will be with the soldiers. The Marietta
Rifles will march with the soldiers of the
regular army. Major Commerford also
invites especially all confederate vete-
rams who can to be present.

one in the world-higher than the Cap
itol at Washington and six years of
strenuous, ceaseless toll were spent in
building it. The capable engineer who
succeeded where others had failed in
this great work is Mr.. Daniel Webster
Cole, son of Mrs. H. G. Cole, of Mari
eta. After this beneficent work had
been completed and the last pat on the
concrete summit had been made with
this little trowel, Mr. Cole sent it to
firm of silversmiths and had the handle
ebonized, the blade heavily silver-plated
and engraved with an explanatory in
scription. This trowel is not so costly
nor so snowy as the Caffornians' spade
but it means as much to our city, in
way, as that spade does to San Fran
cisco. The hand that used this trowel
once shot marbles and caught baseballs
in Marietta and is now busy with stu
pendous projects in controlling the wa
ter power of western rivers and Mr..
Cole is one of our country's great men
deserving a place beside William G..
McAdoo whom the world delights to
honor
Speaking of unique things in precious
metals, Mr.. E. C. Gurley, cashier of
the M. & F. Bank, of Marietta, has a
handsome watch case made of gold
mined in North Georgia from a mine
owned by his father who lives in Dab
lonega. Mr.. Gurley also has valuable
nuggets of gold in the vault of his bank
which is, however, as safe from burg
lars as any yet devised. Some of those
nuggets have been mounted on scarf
pins with fine effect.
Popular Mechanics for June has a
picture of dancing slipper made of
Irish crochet lace over kid or satin.
1t is hand made in one piece and takes
two weeke to crochet pair. The
price is $50 pair, SO an expert with a
crochet hook can earn sum we'll worth
while by making these slippers.
| The same magazine mentions the
fact that in Dayton, Ohio, number of
boys have organized company to
make furniture of wooden boxes in
which dry goods are shipped.

TIE HUMAN BODY As AN
ELECTRICAL MACHINE

One does not fancy the human
body as an electric dynamo, but il
the heat and muscular energy eX-
pended by an average man of sedrn-
tary habits, were converted int" cleo
trical units, he would find himself in
possession of quite Il valuable asset.
1t is proved that Il man uses up about
two and One-half kil"watt hours of
electrical energy in a working day.
Approx imately one-half Of this
amount is used to keep the tempera-
ture of the body constant, while the
other half is expended in muscular
energy.
This amount of electricity may not
seem great, but an interesting article
in the October Popular Mechanics
Magazine says that it is sufficient to
maintain four 25-watt tungsten lamps
of 20 candlepower each for % hours
or heat an electric tiatiron for &
hours; run n sewing-machine motor
for 100 hours; heat an electric toaster
for 4 hours; an electric heater for 2
hours; an electric curling iron for 100
hours; run a large fan for 80 hours,
or warm a chatting dish for & hours.

THE FAIR AND THE CITY.

Some time ago the business men of
Abbeville undertook an advertising
tour to Calhoun Falls, down the Sa-
vannah Valley Railroad to McCor-
mick and return. A full write-up OF
this section followed in both the. pa
pers, with photographs of points of
interest taken enroute. The names
of all residents along the route were
printed and write-ups of the towns
passed. The purpose of this trip was
to cultivate closer social and business
relations with the people.
In about a month we are to have a
county fair. The prime purpose OF
the fair is to bring together the peo-
pie of the entire county. If we fail
in this we fail in the first essential.
Is this, then, not an opportune time
to combine advertisement of the fair
and advertisement of the resources of
the city. We should carry the invi-
tation to the homes of our friends,
and seek their cooperation to make a
bigger and better fair than ever.
Abbeville spends thousands of dol
lars on her fair annually. Some of
this should be spent in advertising
the event. We should visit Lowndes-
vile, Antreville, Due West, Donalds
and intervening communities, the
work of about two days, and give an
account of the trip.
II only ten automobiles could be
had for this trip they would suffice,
though double that number would be
better. We trust that the Mayor
will at once call a meeting of the
city to work out the details Of All adj
verti>ing tour. The time and the oc-
ca-iun could not be more propitious.

COTTON

An article is printed in this issue OF
the Press and Banner which sheds
new light on the consumption of cot
ton. 1t is taken from the New York
Sun, and it is safe to say does not err
on the side of the bear element.
While the Press and Banner would
not undertake to advise anybody to
hold or to sell cotton, we make the
prediction that much of the present
crop will sell for more than ID cents
per pound.

an immediate censorship over the
entire enrolment of his school, has
given way to others, many Of whom
are only temporarily interested in
the calling which they pursue.
The problem of education is the
greatest and most many-sided that
confronts our people today and
too much discussion can not be
accorded it. The Press and Ban
ner will welcome a discussion of all
phases Of the subject, and invites all
who feel an interest to speak through
its columns.

CITY SPEEDWAY;

There are two bumps on thetspeed-
way, up Greenville Street, that should
be removed. One in front of NJ. T.
Coleman's and the other in front of
Mrs. l.. w. PERKINS,. Some Of the
auto-drivers are afraid to make over
fifty miles an hour up this street, on
account of the aforesaid bumps.

some real scorching if he would
saunter occasionally up Greenville
