FEW IMPORTANT
CHANGES EXPECTED
IN BANK ELECTIONS
B. w. Guy Declares He Is
Not Candidate for Bank
Presidency.

Among the banks and other companies
which hold their annual meetings Tues
cay few important changes are beinG
contemplated, though some of the annu-
ally recurrent rumors are on the street.
1t is admitted at the Columbia National
Bank that the position of president may
be occupied next fiscal year by a sue
cessor to A. +. Fox, who has long been
at the head of the institution and who
is now frank in his desire to retire.
Mr.. Fox SAID today that while he
knew what he thought he would 90. ne
was not sure that the directors would
agree with him. One Of the possible
successors to Mr.. Fox, who has been
spoken of as a candidate for the posi-
ton, Benjamin w. Guy. took occasion
today to say that in no isense Is he
candidate for the position.
IL the change is not made immedl-
ately following the annual meeting
1t Is expected that Mr.. Fox VIII re-
tire shortly thereafter and not I'M
dertake to serve out another year.
Business on the Washington Stock
Exchange dropped to q small volume
today Only $4,000 in bonds and eigh-
ty-one shares OF stock were traded
in. The high price of Washington

ferred brought 81. Washington Gas
bonds also were strong. A price OF
110h was spaid for $4,000 Of the
bonds.
In addition to the national banks the
Union Savings Bank, the McLachlen
Banking Corporation, the Park Saw
ings Bank, the Union. United States,
and Washington Loan and Trust COM
panies will hold their annual meet
ings Tuesday.
The Continental Trust Company has
its meeting Monday.
The new Baltimore and Ohio ~ per
cent convertible bonds seem to have
taken from the start in the New York
market Sales were reported on the
curb there up to 9s1s. This is points
above the price at which the stock
holders are given the right to subscribe.
AT ISL the $50 $4,000 bonds win yield
the company $50, 100000 less the under
writing commissions. The Baltimore
and Ohio viii, therefore. be free to
spend less than $4,000 900 on construe-
ton and equipment between the present
date and the time Its $4,000. 900 of notes
are otherwise funded. II they are not
otherwise funded, the $1,000. 900 will
have to serve for a longer period,
The yield basis on which the bonds
are offered to the stockholders is 4ss
per cent. supposing the bonds to be
held to maturity. II converted before
the expiration of the conversion, priv
ilege, the current interest return will
be approximately 40 per cent on the
purchase price. -

Several Persons, White and Colored,
Fined in the Police Court This
" Morning

Since the adoption by the City
Council of the ordinance forbfIdlng
the running ait large of unmuzzled
dogs upon the streets small percen-
tage of persons owning such animals
hnve complied with the letter and
spirit of the law, but during the past
few weeks it has been observed that
in the majority of cases the law was
being honored more by its breach
than observance, and unmuzzled dogs
had boone scarce, although the usual
number were running at-large.
Officer Campbell yesterday sum-
lmoned several persons, white and col
sored, to appear in the police
Court this morning and show cause
why they shout not be fined for viola
ting the law by allowing their cannes
! to run at large minus muzzles, (wlre
or leather) When the court convened
lit was found that in most cases Hhe
rlelinouents had failed to obtain IL
censes, and they were told they couIo
Ibe fined $40. They were, however
made to pay S. each. Several parties
summoned by the officer failed to APP
pear. They will be arrested and MADE
to leave collateral for their appear
iance tomorrow morning.
1 1t is the intention Of the police tc
ksummon all delinquents, and the Ia"
will be enforced; hence persons IN
Sterested had better take due notice
and act accordingly.
! 1t is expected that the latter par'
! of the month the dog wagon VIII De
isplaced on the streets for the purpose
of gathering in all unlicensed ca
mines found roaming the streets with
TOUT the required license, tag, or muz,
fzle. Many dog owners In the city
i.have not taken out license.

HON 4. |. PATTERSON
OPENS COURT HERE
Court House Was Packed When
Sheriff Searight LindIey
Called Order.

The Court House was packed to the
doors Monday when Judge Henry T..
Patterson for the first time occupied
the bench of Cobb Superior Court,
Not seat was vacant and many per-
sons were standing in the aisles.
Solicitor General Herbert Clay was
on hand ready for business.
The new Sheriff, Hon. R. S. Lind
ley was in his place and opened court
while at the Clerks desk were the
genial faces of Hon. Virgil McCleskey
and his deputy, Mr.. B. HI. Carrie, of
Acworth. At the reporters table sat
Mr.. Charlie Willingham, who had
been appointed to his old place by
Judge Patterson.
Business started off with a rush.
The petty jurors were called and
sworn in by Mr. Clay and then the
Grand Jury was completed by the
addition of three jurors sworn in to
take the places of three absentees.
Judge Patterson's charge to the
Grand Jury was brief, as this jury
had been previously charged by
Judge Morris. He dwelt on the laws
against whiskey selling, gambling,
carrying concealed weapons and the
dessecration of the Sabbath.
Court met at ten o'clock and at
quarter of eleven the hearing of cases
was begun.
In his rulings during the day it
seemed that Judge Patterson was a
little disposed to lettechnisalities get
in the way. He was rather after get
ting at the facts.
The following gentlemen compose
the Grand Jury for this week:
E. Christian, Foreman; Nv. w. Hun
ton; L. T. Ward; B. H. Hill; Jos. Il.
Burton; H. G. Coryel; e. ]. Cog
burn; o. d. Gam; M. A. J. Landers;
p A. Reed; l. E. Hill; j. G. Lazenby;
George H. Keller; D. T. Miller; w.
t. Brown; R. L. Gam; w. A. McDon-
aid; J. E. Carnes; w. E. McCollum;
F. M. Lacy; A. j. Ward; j. w. Lyle
Clerk-James L. Brooks.
This week is being devoted to civ
il cases and it is probable they will
run over into next week. The Grimm
al cases will be taken as soon as the
civil cases are heard. There are a
dozen people in the Jail, most of
whom are charged with selling whis-
key.

CHAMBER COMMERCE
AND COUNCIL MEET
Many Citizens Attended Meet
ing at The Armory Last
Friday Night.

The joint meeting of the City Coun
Gil and the Chamber of Commerce at
the Armory last Friday night was
largely attended many citizens not
members of either body being present
A string band furnished music
while the crowd was gathering.
The object of the meeting was to
consider plans for handling the float
ing Indebtedness of the city, which
amounts to about $21, 100000.
Major r. j. Quinn and Hon. Aldine
Chambers, of Atlanta, had been in
Vited to be present and deliver ad-
reeSes. Both were ON hand and made
excellent talks.
Mr.. James t. Anderson presided
and first introduced Mr.. Chambers
who explained how Atlanta met mum
icipal problems. His most valuable
suggestion, perhaps, was in regard to
personal property returns. Atlanta
has men specially engaged in looking
after personal property returns in ad-
dition to the regular real estate as
SCISSORS
Major Guinn's address was largely
devoted to the Importance of unity
and the great disadvantage to a town
from political bitterness and wrang-
ling.
Mr.. George Montgomery made a
good talk along progressive lines and
said the floating Indebtedness was
a bagatelle to a city like Marietta.
Mr.. Arthur S. Potter made a splen-
did talk on harmony as force in
building a town; praised our beaut-
tiful city and it's advantages and
said he would gladly pay an increase
on his home, which is assessed at
s11,0O0.OO.
: Mr.. Robert H. Northcutt said he
would cheerfulIy pay an increased
tax.
Mrs. John NJ. Graham was called
on to speak for the Civic League and
responded gracefully, saying the la
dies could be depended upon to CO.
operate with any movement that was
made for the beterment of Marietta
After the speeches the ladies serv-
ed coffee and sandwiches and then
followed a meeting of the Chamber
of Commerce.
The committe that had been pre-
viously appointed to report on the
situation was unable to do so on ac-
count of the serious illness of Mrs
D. w. Blair which had made it i'm
possible for Col Blair to meet with
them. He is Chairman of the commit
tee and further consideration of the
plan to meet the situation was deferr-
ed until a meeting of the committe
can be held.
