KATHERINE r. DAVIS.
NEW YORK, July 4.-That American
authorities win cope differently with their
hunger strikers than do the English po-
lice is evidenced by the stand taken by
Charities Commissioner Katherine Davis
in the case OF Becky Edelson, the an
archist agitator, on a hunger strike at
Blackwell's Island. I'm going to serve
my fun ninety days says Becky, "if they

the other a figure or woman typi-
flying Peace. The inscriptions are
appropriate and tend to soothe rath-
err than re-awaken the bitter feelings
of the war.
The members of the committee
who located the spot were consider
ate in another matter. 1t was sug-
gested that the monument be placed
on the summit of the hill. They
would not consent. however, taking
the position that the Illinois troops
never reached the top and that the
monument should so no further up
than their old battle line. The mouth
OF the tunnel will be permanently
preserved.
The three men who were in the
battle and who selected the spot for
the monument are Captain l.. J..
Dawdy, of Peoria, Mr.. w. A. Payton,
of Danville and Mr.. H. F. Reason, of
Mason City, Illinois Capt Dawdy
was wounded while so close TO the
Confederate breastworks that he fell
against the works and was pulled
over into the trenches and made a
prisoner. Mr.. Payton was a drum
mer boy.
1t is expected that the Governor of
Illinois and many distinguished men
will attend the unwilling on June
9th and that they will be received
by large delegation of Georgia Elk
Confederates. The people of Cobb
county will, of course, give the Wis
itors a most hospitable reception.

BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION
MAKES APPEAL FOR FUNDS.

The Benevolent Association urges
all contributors to continue their
subscriptions throughout the Summer
months. There is more sickness in
hot weather than in the winter and
it is difficult to meet the consequent
drain on the treasury for nurses SER
vices, for medicine, etc, unless the
monthly fund is regularly deposited.
Fortunately for the Association and
for the sick ones, the doctors have
been most kind in giving their SER
vices. But those in charge of ad-
ministering the necessary relief can
extend it only so far as the money
allows.

The handsome monument costing
twenty thousand dollars which is 20
being erected on Cheatham's Hill by
the State of Illinois, will be unveiled
with appropriate ceremonies on June
27th. The occasion will be notable
one, as many distinguished men are
expected to be present.
Cheatham's Hill was one of the
memorable battles of the war. The
Federals and Confederates faced each
other there for six days and six
nights, their lines being so close that
the soldiers were in ordinary speak
ing distance They fought from the
21th of June to the Bird of July, 1864
and on the last day the Confederates
withdrew because of flank move
ment. 1t was we'll they did so, as
the Federals had constructed a tun-
mel far into the hill, had placed ex-
plosives under the Confederate posi-
ton and intended to touch off the
mine on the 4th of July.
Cheatham's Hill is about four miles
from Marietta and reached by the
Dallas road The mouth of the tun-
mel is still in existence, and it is
supposed the explosives are still
buried in the ground.
Several years ago movement was
started to mark the spot occupied
by the Illinois regiments that fought
at Cheatham's Hill. Old soldiers VINO
were in the battle bought about 40
acres of land which was part of the
battlefield from Mr. B. Bt CHANNEL
The State of Illinois appropriated
$4,000 for the monument and the

POULTRYMEN URGED To
GET READY FOR FAIR
Biggest Interest Is Usually
Manifested In Chickens,
So Save Good Ones.
,-s;+or Marietta Journal

Editor Marietta Journal
One of the most important indus
tries and yet one Of the most neg
Iacted in most counties, is the poul-
trv industry. In some counties in
Tennessee they ship dressed poultry
70 New York by the car load, and
hiring in thousands upon thousands
Of dollars to the farmers of these
counties. We wish you would say to
the people of Cobb county that VIC
have all the necessary advantages
for the successful raising of poultry
that the people could ask for and we,
the Fair Association, wish to encOur-
age this branch of agricultural de-
velopement. We want our farmers
to get the best breeds of poultry and
devote special care to them this year
and be ready for the Fair, and when
it opens this fall to show to the State
that we can take the blue ribbon on
poultry as well as on other things.
We are going to offer all the cash
premiums we possibly can in this de-
partment and every blue ribbon won
at this show will not only be worth
the time and trouble, but the winner
will be amply repaid in the adver-
tisement it will give him. Of course
this poultry departmnt of our Fair
will be open TO THE >WORLD" so
far as entries are concerned, and we
expect to have on exhibit some of as
fine birds as we have in the South.
This will itself be worth a great deal
to our county in stimulating our peo-
pie towards securing the best poultry
possible. Don't forget that we are
going to have one of the biggest and
best County Fairs ever held in Geor-
gia.
Respectfully.

NEGROES CELEBRATION
ON MAY 50 DISL|KED
G. A. K. Man Writes Local
Camp OF Confederates To
Abate Nuisance.

A letter to the Commander of the
Local Camp of Confederate Veterans
from Past Commander of the Grand
Army of the Republic protesting
against the manner in which negroes
have celebrated National Memorial
Day in Marietta in the past has been
furnished the Journal with the re-
quest that it be published 1t shows
the spirit of the G. A. r. for their
memorial day and the Journal feels
sure that the Confederate Veterans
and the Mayor and Council will agree
with Mr. Scott. The letter follows.
Atlanta, Ga, May z, 1914.
Commander Confederate Camp,
Marietta, Ga,
My Dear Comrade:
In conversation with Sax Anderson
he told me he would see the Mayor
and go before the City Council and
ask that no more license be issued
for dance halls, hurdy gurdys and
such out of place negro gatherings
on May Goth.
Certainly at this late day common
decency would say, a city where so
many dead are buried from both
sides, the day when memorial SER
vices are held, should not be given
over to a mob of ignorant negroes
for the sake of gathering a few dol
lars into the city Treasury.
l know our Confederate Comrades
are with us, and we, the Grand
Army, look to them to aid us in
seeing that from now on we will not
have to say, shame on Marietta.
l am sincerely ana fraternally
yours,
w. NJ. SCOTT,
Past Vice COMMUNICATIVE Chief, G.
