SUGGESTIONS FOR ICE TRUST
Just Few Reasons Why There
Should Be an Advance in Price
Of Summer Necessity.

The Ice trust having offered silver
loving-cup for the best excuse which
might be invented for raising the
price Of ice after the cold winter. we
hopefully submit the following:
l. The ice being so thick and heavy.
it costs more to handle it.
2. The blocks are SO large that there
is great waste in cutting them up for
the retail trade.
The Ice is 30 cold it freezes solid
in the storage houses and Is very diff
cult to get out.
4. AS the winter has been so cold.
the summer will necessarily be very
hot, and the demand for ice very
great, so THAT 1t is doubtful If there
will be enough to go around.
8. The Ice being extra thick. extra
cold. and extra quality all through. 1t
is only proper that an extra price
should be demanded
6. The price of ice never had any
relation to the cost of production, any.

ONE VIEW Of VERA CRUZ

aCTOb5 Iuo piazza, Ildt tAo ohoS wos
fred that killed the first American
marine.
The Plaza de la Constructor
'abounds in grape-laden arbors. There
is music in the square on three nights
Of the week. and It ia converted into
dress parade. 1t wakes in cool Of
early morning. for the Vera Cruzane
rise early and transact their business
before the heat of the day arrives.
At II. o'clock the shops along Avenue
de la Independence put up their shut
ters. The whole public retreats into
its sleeping quarters behind thick,
adobe walls where the cool OF the
morning still fingers because Of the
early closing of every aperture, and
takes its siesta.
The Sacred scavenser.
But while Vera Cruz sleeps from
eleven to one. Natures scavengers are
at work. 1t is a weird scene that
meets the American who passes down
the deserted streets Of this port Of a
rich nation at the siesta hour. With
shutters up and all the human life Of
the city suspended, one walks the de.
serted streets with feeling of weird
desolation. 1t appears to the unac-
customed visitor as city Of the dead.
And as he passes through the still,
sunlit streets bereft Of human COM
partnership there is ever with him that
weird presence Of the scavenger buzz
zard. This, the sacred bird Of mys.
terry Of the Aztecs, is a sort Of guard
ian spirit of this city OF the tropics.
The new sewage system OF Vera Cruz
does much to dispose OF its refuse.
but there is still need of the turkey
buzzard for doing away with matter
left on the surface. So they flock
through the streets. They hop about
the cutters and are so tame as to be
almost stepped on. They ride ma5es-
tically and solemnly on the tail of any
passing milk cart They sit in the
trees of Plaza de la Constitution. But
above all. they flock by the thousands
about the roof of the old Parochial
church across that plaza from the
hotel.
And this spot is rich in historical
events with which every man is &C.
quainted, but the exact setting for
which he has forgotten. Here 1t was
that Cortez burned his ships in 1913.
He first landed at this little island with
his band of soldiers of fortune gath
cred from among the adventurous spir.
its who were then wont to rendezvous
about Porto Rico. The ships were
burned that retreat might be made i'm.
possible and the march inland was be-
| gun. 600 men against the millions, with
no possibility OF retreat.

Mer, tia Chautauqua on Monday a

can of the Twentieth Century"
Mr.. Hobson spoke eloquently OF
the American citizen of the past and
the progress that the South is max
ing in the development of America.
He gave in the course of his lecture
some vivid illustrations of the educa-
tional needs OF the United States and
smoke heartily Of the reasons why
the United States Government
should aid the several states in wip-
ing out illiteracy among the citizens
of our country. He said that he Elk
nected the time to come in the near
future when the United States Goa
gress would take steps to aid the
States and when they did America
would see new era of prosperity.
He spoke OF National prohibition
and gave some interesting facts IN
support of his argument. He said
that he expected Congress to reach a
vote on or about July 9Th on the
Hobson resolution which provides
for a Constitutional amendment to
prohibit the sale of all intoxicating
liquors and if the resolution passes
both branches of Congress by two
thirds majority the question of Ma
ton prohibition will be placed upon
the several states to say whether or
not they wish to ratify the Constitu
tiOnal amendment.
He insists that his amendment
will not interfere in any way with
State Rights but will merely provide
way for the States to handle the
liquor question. He said among
other things that the physical evolu
tiOn of man had reached it's highes;

.E0UAL|zERS MAKE A
STATEMENT TO PUBLIC
Explain Some of Difficulties
Encountered In Fixing
County Taxes.

The BOARD of Assessors and Equili-
zers of Cobb County desire to call
the attention of the people of Cobb
County to few difficulties with
which your board had TO contend in
our efforts TO assess and equilile
taxes in Cobb County under the new
law passed at the last session of the
General Assembly of the State of
Georgia.
In the first place this was new
law in Georgia Your board had no
precedent of other similar boards to
be governed by, we had no successes
or failures of any preceding boards
by which we could profit, we were
compelled to undertake the duties
of our position absolutely without
precedence or experience.
In the same place the people of
of our County did not realize the inn
portance of making their tax returns
by the first of May, as provided by
the new law, and our Tax Receiver
under these circumstances did not
close his books on the first day of
May as required by Section first Of
the present Act, but continued to re-
ceive tax returns after the books
should have been closed according to
law, and is probably still receiving
tax returns at the time required by
law for us to finish our work
Consequently, there are quite a
number of returns which have nol
been and probably will not be sub
mitted to us for examination.
In the third place while the city
authorities of all the incorporated
towns and cities in Cobb County that
have town or city tax assessors
j have very kindly submitted thc
! books of their town assessors to MS
/ thereby greatly aiding us in reach
ing the relative value of propert!

The City of Marietta, for some
reason by an act of the Mayor and

diets that within twenty five years
we will have National prohibition
and before the century is half turn

speech was along optimistic lines

South would lead America.
