|B CARROLL FLEMING, THE
FAMOUS THAN 10 SER
3 MUTUAL DIRECTOR

L.
Anybody can make enemies. It Is
the open season for that sport about
365 days every year. Some of US de
vote Feb. % quadrcnnially to making
friends. In the main. however, we're
always stepping on somebody's toes to
such an extent as to create a feeling
of resentment.
Carroll Fleming is just the opposite
sort Of man. Maybe he uses his leap
year Feb. 20ths to make enemies. 1t
must be that way because no man as
strong as Fleming but mas enemies.
and yet he always seems to be making
friends of every one.
OF course Fleming doesn't know al
his friends. He couldn't. No man
could know all of Fleming's. They're
high in the millions Fleming is the
man who put on the great Hippodrome
cxtravaganzas and marvellous produc-
tons back in the days when Thompson
and Dundy started that enterprise. In
the three years that Fleming reignei
supreme there it is estimated that not
fewer than 100000 people saw the
Hippcdrome productions. They all be-
came his friends, because he gave them
$50 worth Of fun for every 81 they
spent. =
Now he's continuing that kind of
work with the Thanhouser-Mutu Film
Company. Hes the star director Of
the New Rochelle studios, and he Is
turning out plays that have made an
other 5000 600 friends for him. Be
tween D. W. Grinith and Fleming
they'll about corner the market In aim
friendships 7 ,Lhls thing keeps on.

MRS. WILLIE GRESHAM
CLAIMED BY DEATH

Mrs. Willie Gresham passed ava.
at her home near Woodstock On
Tuesday afternoon in her 2Sth yea:
leaving her devoted husband and q
little daughter eight years old. Sho
had been i'll for ten weeks and all
that loving friends and physicians
could do was done to relieve her,
but, after great suffering, she fell
asleep quietly and is now at rest.
She was Miss Elizabeth Brooks,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. ]. R.
Brooks, and her death is the first
break in their family circle
Her sisters are Mrs. ]. R. Griggs
Mrs Pickens Tate and Mrs. Tom
Bentley. Her brothers are Messrs.
William, Charles, Carl and James
Brooks.
The funeral was conducted at
MONDAY Church, by her pastor, Rev.
Barrow, with Rev. G. L. King and
Rev. E. M. Dyer assisting, at II
o'clock Thursday and the interment
was in the burial ground of the
Gresham family. Many friends at
tended and many sweet flowers COW
cred her last earthly resting place.
The bereaved ones can take COM
fort in the thought that this fair
young sister lived through the ten
der joys of life's May days and es-
capped the blighting heats of mid
summer and the chilling frost of
old age.
There is day of sunny rest
For every dark and troubled night;
And grief may bide an evening
guest,
But joy shall come with early light.
For God hath marked each sorrow
ing day
And numbered every secret tear,
And heavens long age of bliss shall
pay
For all his children suffer here.

LITTLE CHILD KILLED
BY A DYNAMITE CAP

Last Friday Mr. T. j. Clearley,
who lives on the Chamblee place
three miles from Crab Apple, took a
dynamite cap which he happened to
have and to amuse his children, who
were playing around, attached fuse
to the cap and lighted it in antici-
patton of hearing the explosion.
Not thinking of his little two-year
old son, r. J. Jr. being away from
the two older children who had gone
into the house for safety, he was
Mortified to see the little fellow run
from behind the house toward the
explosive just as it was in the act of
firing.
AS the cap exploded the baby fell
to the ground mortally wounded, the
cap having rebounded and torn it's
way into its abdomen just below the
stomach.
The injured child was rushed to
Nolan's sanitarium here where every
little life until death ended it's suf-
fering Sunday at / O'Clock.
The little fellow had been very
unfortunate during his short life as
about year ago he fell into a fire
and at that time horribly burning
his face and head
The body was removed to Allen &
Moons undertaking parlors where it
was prepared for burial and later
taken to the home of its grandpa
rents, Mr.. and Mrs. ID. X Clearley,
near Sandy Plains where it was held
until the funeral Tuesday at Sandy
Plains church with interment fol-
lowing in the churchyard
Mrs. V. H. Frey, Mrs. Albert Will
mouth, and Mrs. G. w. Gignilliatt,
all of Marietta, are aunts of the little
child.

TWO CANDIDATES N
MARIETTA SATURDAY

Marietta was treated to two poll
tical speeches Saturday Hon. Ran
dolph Anderson, candidate for Gov
ernor, spoke in the morning and
Hon. G. R. Hutchens, candidate for
the Senate to succeed Senator Ba-
con, spoke in the afternoon.
Colonel Anderson was introduced
by Colonel ]. H. Foster and made
good speech which was well received.
report of his speech appears else
where in the Journal The people
of Cobb county will be particularly
interested in what he said about the
State road. He said the new lessees
ought tobe required to pay taxes
to the counties through which the
roads runs as the counties have to
go to much expense on account of
the litigation in which the road is
involved
Colonel Hutchens was introduced
by Judge AWtrey and made speech
which called forth considerable ap-
plause. He said the records of his
opponents, Slaton, Fielder and
Hardwick were barren of results.
He said he had intended to support
Slaton but had gone in against him
because Slaton's friends had tried
to get the Executive Committee to-
gether to change the rules so as
to nullify the County Unit plan.
Colonel Hutchens promised to make
another speech later on in Cobb.
Governor Brown was an interest
ed listener at both speakings and
had Colonel Hutchens with him at
dinner.

SYNOPSIS OF THE CHAUTAUQUA
PROGRAM TO BE RENDERED HERE

This Thursday afternoon at two
o'clock the people of Marietta will
have the opportunity Of attending
their second chautauqua, which is
brought here by the famous Red
path bureau and given under the
auspices of the Civic League.
For several weeks past the com
ing chautauqua has been the subject
of enthusiastic anticipation and dis
cussion.
Having seen last years excellent
program the people of this commune
ty feel no hesitancy whatever in
boosting the attractions to be given
this season. The Redpath manage
ment promises that the quality re-
mains as high as last year, the only
difference being that instead Of sew
en- days program this years session
lasts only five days, June 18th to
18th, inclusive.
The grounds are the same as last
year, being located on Forest Ave,
near Cherokee street.
The program for the first after
noon will consist of a musical con-
cert by the Bolander Orchestra at
two-thirty, followed by DR.. G. L..
McNutts lecture at three o'clock.
The Bolanders have made good all
over the south This is their fifth
year as musical organization, and
their concerts show the result of
long years of special study added to
natural talent
Besides rendering many popular
selections, the orchestra will preser t
such well-known classical works as
the Sextette from Lucia, Verdi's
Poet and Peasant" Offenbach' s
''Orphens", The Bohemian Girl" by
Balfe and a strong number HUI
moresque" by Doorack.
A feature of each program is the
work of the drummer, Miss Alice
Bolander. In addition to the drum
she operates the sleigh bells, canary
whistle, locomotive whistle, a school
bell, a chinese block, triangle,
castanettes, crash cymbal, orchestra
bells, rackette, sliding steamboat
whistle, a cyclone whistle, a duck
quack, a rooster crow and a tam
BOURNE. Two of the members of
this family group are excellent rea-
ders, and they will intersperse the
musical program with interesting
readings.
At three, DR.. McNutt, the we'll
known Dinner Pail Man" will de-
liver one of his lectures, the sub
ject here being Culture and Demo-

cracy" Dr. McNutt has filled hum
dreds of lecture engagements all over
the United States, and he has yet to
meet people who failed to enthuse
over his message. Dr. McNutt is
not a mere taiker. He comes with
vital message of optimism and up
lift and every person in Marietta
should accept this opportunity of
listening to one of the finest lee
turers and preachers on the Ameri-
can platform.
Friday morning at nine-thirty the
first "Children's Hour" will be gil
ven under the direction of Miss NJ
Slick, trained reader, story-teller
and Kindergarten worker. She will
take charge of this Children Hour
each morning during the chautauqua
and it is hoped that all the mothers
will see to it that all of Mariettas
little girls and boys are at the big
tent every morning at nine-thirty.
Friday afternoon the American
quartette will give a musical pro-
gram followed by a lecture by Bryan
Pratt of Kansas, upon the subject,
Dead or Alive. Mr.. Pratt is
known as 1.-The prophet of new
era. He has a message that is new
and vital. 1t will pay you to hear
this brilliant dramatic orator.
Saturdays program IS unusually
interesting to those who desire pure
entertainment. Charles A. Payne.

Beautiful Hawaii" has appeared at
the big cnautauqua in New York on
fourteen seperate occasions, and he
has appeared at Winona Lake, the

On Sunday afternoon there will be
a union vesper service at the tent,
in charge of the ministers of the To-
cal churches. Following this Dantes
band will give sacred concert, and
a second concert will be given in the
evening. 1t ought to be sufficient
to simply state that this band is
second "Kryls" so well liked last
season.
On Monday the last day, the Red
path management, has, as usual,
provided more talent than their con-
tract calls for. The three Burns
sisters have been enjoying unusual
success in the southland. Follow
ing them is Kirk Towers, the cele-
brated barytone concert singer who
has gained an enviable reputation
both in this country and in Europe,

GOV. BROWN IN CHEROKEE.

Governor Brown went up to his
farm in Cherokee County Monday
and will not return to Marietta I'M
til the last of the week. There are
those who look for him to be pretty
well satisfied with life as it is and
does not seem to be thinking much
about politics. He was at both
speakings Saturday and laughed
heartily at Colonel Rufe Hutchen's
jokes.

BATTLING | LEVINSKY
 MAY BOX WILLARD

There is talk of matching Battling Levinsky. the New York Hebrew light heavyweight, against Jess Will lard in the near future. Why such a. match should be proposed is hard to imagine. Levinsky at best weighs around 165 to 168 pounds. while Will lard strips at 235. The difference is too great between them If Levinsky was a great fighter with unusual sci- ence there mightA be some reason for it, but he is nothing more than a good, tough fellow with ordinary science and plenty of gameness. Willard may need considerable trying out be- fore he is sent against Jack Johnson to try and win back the heavyweight title to the white race, but it would be much better to select man some where near his own weight and. size Why not tackle Carl Morris and liar ry Wills, the colored sensation of California? If Jess can whip the two of them, why he is bound to car ry the support of the boxing fans when sent against Johnson Wills is a big fellow, almost the size of Willard not quite so heavy-but one who has proven that he has great deal of class He is well enough thought of to match with Sam Langford for a. twenty round argument. There are plenty of good fighters around the 170-pound mark with whom Levin sky can be matched. without send- ing him to meet a giant like Willard.

WHO WON WELSH
 AND WHITE BOUT?

Freddie Welsh. worlds champion lightweight, and Charlie White of Chicago boxed no decision bout in Milwaukee Monday night and follow CTS of the ring are unable to learn which man had the better of 1t. Maaty. of the Chicago critics at the ringside wired to their papers that. " hite won by a wide margin. Some Of the NH Waukee reporters wrote stories that indicated a draw. Eastern scr1bes who went to the scene of action with Welsh declared that the British boxer gave White a ..scienti1c lacfng.
 Under the circunnstances the con- clusion is drawn that some of these observers either know nothing about points in boxing or deliberately mis- represented the facts. Many wasers it is said. were decided by these news-l paper decisions, which means Of course that some persons must have been stung The controversy, it would seem. could have been avoided if tho referee had been permitted to render an official verdict.

HARVARD IN SECRET DRILL
 FOR DEFENSE

Cambridge, Mass, Nov 12.-With the scrubs putting on the Yale plays, asi Reggie Brown saw them, the Harvard varsity went through g. two hour practice in the stadium yester- day afternoon. All the regulars were. in the lineup, including Wallace at center.
 BigeIow, who substituted for Wal lace, is being retained as substitute tackle and guard Bfgelow's work as an alI-around man is the only thing that deters him from being on the
 varsity as a regular. The backf1eld consisted of Mahan, Bradlee, and Francke. Hardwick returned to the squad and was played at right ends'
 How the outcome Of yesterdays work against the. Yale players result ed is not being told by Haughton. who has put the lid on secret prac- tise more strongly than ever. Each man on the line is receiving individual coaching on the defensive. Although Harvard had the punch against the Tigers, it's defensive strength was not very thoroughly tested.
 TrunbuIl and Pennoc3k are capable of holding their. own, but the remain der of the Iinemsn, except the wings, have yet to be in big game. Mahan is fast rounding into form as a drop kicker, and he is usually found on the field, dropping them over, thirty min utes before the ssskull' lecture is called.
