REPUBLICANS CENTERING
ON zIHLMAN.
Washington County for Harmony.
Lewis Strength has Weakened.

1t is becoming more and more ap-
parent that Maryland Republicans in
tend to center their energies in an at
tempt to recapture the Sixth district
this fall, and to this end leaders, not
only in Allegany county, but Hagers-
town also are quietly getting behind
the candidacy of State Senator Frede-
rick N. Zihlman of Allegsnv county.
That the contest will be between
Zihlman and Warner is almost a fore
gone conclusion. All efforts to get a
Washington county man to enter the
list have failed, and it is regarded by
some of the leaders at Hagerstown as
too late to bring out local candidate.
It is contented that any Republican
nominee from Washington county
would tend to bring about harmony in
the party here, but on the other hand
any observer of the Republican split
up at Hagerstown would declare that a
a Republican from any other county
would run much better IN Washington
county than any Washington county
Republican.
1t is asserted by a Republican leader
that Warner, who has no strength at
Hagerstown personally, is sure to get
fairly good vote in a primary contest
with Zihlman but for the men here
supporting him.
Despite this, Republicans are hopeful
of harmony by election time and sangu-
inc of success, because they feel sure
that registration will be properly taken
care of and that Lewis will have a
heavy burden to carry in 1.-The failure
of the Democratic Administration to
reduce the cost of living, the business
depression, the curtailment of work in
factories and in the disappointments
of many officeseekers.
Democrats are not nearly as certain
of Lewis reelection as they were a
month ago. In fact they are not at all
certain, and believe that the coming
fight will be one of the hottest ever
waged in the district.

the sick and take care of them. He
was very kind and indulgent husband
and father. as we'll as a good neighbor
and friend. The services were held on
Tuesday, the 18th, in the Methodist
church, of which he was member and
where he had sung in the choir for
years. Rev. Hamrick, assisted by
Rev. D. A. Friend. conducted the SER
vices, after which he was taken to
Sand Spring cemetery. followed by rel
atlves and friends and brothers of both
orders. There the beautiful service of
the Knights of Pythias was most i'm
pressively rendered.
Sleep, o brother, softly sleep,
While thy loved ones for thee weep;
May thy spirit from above
Hear US in fraternal love
While the days are fieeting by,
And we learn we, too, must die,
Deepest love we ever hold
Forithy scarlet, blue, and gold.

CREDIT ASSOCIATION
IS ORGANIZED HERE
Retail Merchants Incorporate To
Protect Customers and
Themselves.

Elsewhere in this issue appears
legal advertisement of certain bust
ness men of this town seeking a
charter for the Retail Creditmen's
Association. This will no doubt be
OF interest to the people of this town
and the surrounding country. The
purpose of the Association will be to
collect information about every par
ty in this town and in Cobb County
as far as possible as to their habits
of meeting their bills and whether or
not they are prompt, medium or
slow pay. This information will be
kept in the office of the secretary,
furnished to the merchants and used
by them as a basis for extending
credit Other towns in Georgia
have successfully operated such a
work and the Marietta business men
are to be congratulated in perfect
ing this organization for their mu-
tual benefit, and it will no doubt
operate to the good of the public in
general as well as to the merchants.
We are glad to see the merchants get
together. The merchants who have
already joined the Association are as
follows: T. L. Wallace Clothing Co.
W. A. Florence, Hodges Drug Co.,
The Fair, F. E. A. Schilling, E. l..
Faw, Smith & Ward, Benson Bros. &
Co., Dobbs Hardware Co., E. G. Gill
bert & Co., Griffith's Pharmacy, T..
W. Read, The Marietta Book Store,
H. A. Ward & Co., Wilkes Drug
