LONDON, ENG. = The long invest
noent of the mid-Galician fortress Of
Przemysl has ended.
Depleted by disease, subsisting on
horse flesh and surrounded by SUI
periOr force Of Russians, the garrison,
Of more than $4,000 men, has surren-
dered to the besieging army after a
defense lasting six months, which up
TO the present is recorded as Austrias
most noteworthy contribution to the
wal.
The capture automatically releases a
Russian army of nearly 100000 for
action in Poland and along the Carpa-
THAN front and constitutes perhaps
the greatest victory for Russian arms
eince the beginning of the war.
Will March on Cracow Next.
The besieging army will now march
on the strong Austrian fortress Of
Cracow, 125 miles to the west OF
Przemysl, it being the announced de-
termination Of the Russian command
er in chief to reduce the ancient Pol
ish capital as speedily as possible.
Moral Effect of Fall.
1t was argued that the moral effect
of the surrender will be tremendous
the theory of the allies being that it
will stimulate feeling in their favor
both in ROumania and Bulgaria, just
as the operations in the Dardanelles
are causing an agitation in Greece
anG Italy
Przemysl fell with honor, the Brit
ish press comedies, for it withstoOd
the Onslaughts longer than any place
during the war, the investment having
begun about Sept. Is, something more
than six months ago.
Why City Held Out.
The duration of the siege compared
with the length of time it took the
Germans to capture such strongholds
as Liege, Namur and Antwerp was
due to two causes, one being the de-
sire of the Russians to keep the loss
Of life among the beSieging army at a
minimum, the other to the lack of
great guns which the Germans had i'll
Belgium.
Gar Attends TIE Deum.
As soon as the news of the fall Of
PrZemysl reached the headquarters
of the Russian commander in chief q
Tie Deum of thanksgiving was cele-
bTated in the presence of Emperor
Nicholas and Grand Duke Nicholas
and all their staffs.
Great Joy in Petrograd.
The Exchange Telegraph company
has a dispatch from its Petrograd cor
respondent saying that great enthu-
s<asm was manifested in Petrograd
on the receipt of the news.
Crowds of people thrOnged the
streets, cheering and indulging in pa
triOtic demonstrations. The fortress
was occupied by Russian troops i'm.
nediately after its surrender.

MARIETTA AND SOUTHERN BELL
TO PLAY HERE SATURDAY

On Saturday August 14th, the base
pail fans of Marietta will be given
the opportunity of again seeing tne
last southern Bell team of Atlanta
This is the second game with this
team and it will be remembered that
on their last appearance they gave
the nome boys the worst beating they
nave ever had either before or since.
The Bell Team has on its paw list
large number of star College and
seml-professional ball players.
such men as T. Montague, the fast
est amatuer we have ever seen-our
ola friend Henry Clay Burr the best
amatuer the world bar none. This
boy is ready right now for East pro-
fesslonal ball-we don't know of
any one we would rather see on the
Marietta team, or that we hate to
see playing against, quite as much
as we do this boy.
Some of the other stars are Fox
Montague, all southern infielder-
Doe Witherington who is some
catcher-ask Canton.
Jim Senter, Georgia-Tech's crack
pitcher and great many more--there
is not a weak spot on the team.
To offset this galaxy of stars, Ma
rietta will use the great and only
Marvel Rucker-the greatest of
them all, by gum-Nappie is goin,
great guns, these days. We respect
fully call your attention to the first
Canton game. If anybody can muz-
zle the Krupp guns of the enemy, we
believe this boy can do it. What he
ais't got amt worth having. AS he
says he "hain't never been beat"
This will be the best game of the
season. Admission two-bits.

FLAG RAISING AT SANDY PLAINS.

The d. A. r. of Marietta did not
appear to take part in the ceremony
on account of delay in receiving no.
tice of the hour and not because the
ladies' did not feel a cordial interest
in the event. Miss Mabel Cortelyou
, who has made inspiring addresses on
similar occasions was in Califor-
MIA and Mrs. Graham did not know
when to appear on the scene.
Dr.. Rembert Smith had a letter in
the Atlanta Constitution recently adj
yocating a law to compel all schools
to have United States flag where it
can be seen and saluted by pupils
daily. This is the best way to in
sure an early acquaintance with and
a reverent appreciation of the stars
and stripes and what the flag means.

FARMERS To PROFIT
BY SMITH-LEVER BILL

The bill known as the Smith-Leyer
important and beneficial measures
passed by the Legislature at the ses-
sion just closed. The measure car
ries with it an appropriation OF
$25,174.00 for the year 1915 and
$4,000 for the year 1915, the
purpose of which is to meet the ap-
preparation by the Federal Govern
ment for the same period amounting
to sol, goo as provided in the bill
which passed Congress August 18th.
1914, making a total sum of 1882
$500, which, according to the
terms of the act shall be used for
agriculture extension work and in
struction in home economies in all
the counties of Georgia.
This measure does not conflict
with or discontinue the appropria-
ton of $SO,00O.O0 already made by
the United States government for
farm management work or farmers
cooperative demonstration work.
In addition to the amounts men
toned above the government usual
o. Iy increases the amount by $4,000
until the year 1922 when the amount
will reach $182,O2O.OO which will
come into the State from the United
States government, all of which shall
be used to help those farmers ano
their families who are unable to take
advantage of course in Agriculture
at the College and higher institu-
tons of learning.
This bill was introduced by Repre-
sentative Fred Morris, who worked
earnestly for it's passage. His WORK
in behalf of the measure has been
extensively commented upon by the
Atlanta papers, both in their news
columns and editorially and the fact
that the measure is now part of our
laws is gratifying to its author, no
doubt.

Editor Marietta Journal,
Marietta, Georgia.
Dear Sir
/ note in the issue of the Marietta
Journal of July 30th, a letter signed
by "One Who Is Interested in Good
Government" vigorously indOrsing
Honorable George D, Anderson, Of
Marietta as a candidate for Judge
of the Superior Courts of the Blue
Ridge Circuit.
In my humble opinion there is no
member of the Marietta, Bar, nor
the Bar of the Blue Ridge Circuit,
better qualified in every respect TO
hold this high office, than Honor
able George D. Anderson. He had
considerable experience at the bar
of the Courts of the Blue Ridge Cir
cult, and it is we'll known among
those who have come in contact with
him that he has a profound know
ledge of the law, both civil and Grim
inal and is otherwise qualified by
temperament, etc, to make most
satisfactory judicial officer. Mr..
Anderson being man of unassum-
ing and quiet demeanor has never
taken decisive stand in the faction
al politics in this Circuit and for
This reason, among others, l consid-
er him to be the proper man to be
elected Judge Of our Superior Court
for the next term.
Let us all get together and by our
combined efforts place this eminent
lawyer on the bench.
Yours very truly,
~. L. RICHARDSON.

WESLEY BARACA NOTES.

Last Sunday the Treasurer's re-
port for the period ending July 21st
was read. 1t showed the financial
condition of the class to be in very
good condition.
Mr.. Walker Whites talk was fine,
practical and much to the point. Mr.
White comes from Emory College and
from his way of speaking it was easy
to see that he is accustomed to talk
to young men for he knew exactly
what TO say and how to say it.

ENcerps Showing Committee Findings

Your committee holds that be-
cause the board of examiners, COM
posed of the governor. the secretary
failed TO carefully scrutinize all bonds
and because they followed careless
and lax methods that they are sub
ject to censure."
The evidence introduced before
your committee, in the judgment of
the committee, is sufficient to prove
that two of the individuals so sign
ing the bond had not sufficient assets
to warrant signing the bond. nor the
acceptance of the same by the state
officers who passed upon it,
The bond is dated Sept %, 1912.
but from the evidence introduced be-
fore your committee, We find that the
bond in fact was not executed until
on or about the 1st day of March
1913; that the sureties did not JUS
tify until March l, 1918. In
short the evidence shows that the
bond was ante-dated though the
sureties on this latter bond justified
as required by law"
The deposits in this bank and il
many others were so excessive as to
warrant the statement that the state
treasurer gave the benefit of deposit:
of excessive amounts of state money
