ROSWELL PUTS CR|MP
IN MARIETTA TEAM

Roswell defeated Marietta last
Saturday in one of the hottest games
Of the season.
Marietta started off with a rush,
scoring one run in the first inning.
Morgan Mcneil singled through Sec
ond, was sacrificed around to third
and scored on Waddell's single to
center-field. Rucker frightened up,
however, and Waddell was left on
third. Roswell tied the score in the
second, their left-fielder, although
being red-headed, was responsible
for the run. This same left-fielder
also robbed McLain Of hit in the
first inning, in fact this fellow is
some all-around player.
Roswell forged ahead of the Town
Boys in the fourth inning. Ros-
wells star pitcher, Rucker, was re-
sponsible for this run, when he sing
led to right-field with a man on
third. Roswell scored another in
the sixth. Marietta made several
desperate rallies after this but al
ways Rucker frightened up and shut
them out without another run.
Capt. Waddell shut off another
run by running almost to the in-field
and catching short fly This Wad-
dell boy is also some player, unless
| am cross-eyed. The other players
starring for Marietta was the play
ing and hitting of Harris and the
pitching of Kemp.
This game was a pitchers duel
between Kemp and Rucker, Rucker
having a shade the better of the ar
gument.
Marietta secured hits while Ros.
well hit EN- where they wasn't 7
times.
The only mar of the game was a
little argument over a foul ball in
the End inning. Rucker appeared
to be 'going up" in the 8th but set.
tied in time to shut EN- out withou,
a score.
Marietta was without the services
Of their star third baseman, as Pat
Cassidy hadn't recovered from an
injury received in Canton.
Fellows this was some game if "
did lose.

SUNDAY EXCELLENT

At the First Baptist Church Sun
day evening DR.. Rembert Smith
preached from the account. in the
third chapter of Exodus, of the An
gel speaking to Moses from the burn
ing bush which was not consumed.
if Moses had not stopped to consider
that amazing sight he would not
have received the instructions from
the Lord that made it possible for
him to bring the Hebrews out of
Egypt.
On account of the heavy rain only
a few were present but they highly
appreciated the sermon which was
very logical and impressive.

MARIETTA SHUTS OUT DALLAS

Marietta applied the white wash
brush to Dallas Wednesday, to the
tune of to 0.
The game was interesting from
start to finish. Kemp pitched an
other one of his fine games. He
was never in any great danger of
being scored on. Marietta's fast in
field was very much in evidence,
pulling several fast plays. The whole
Marietta team played good ball, al
though without the services of their
captain, Bud" Waddell.
The star of the Dallas team was
their center-fielder. He robbed sew
eral Marietta players of hits, besides
boosting his own batting average
several points. Dallas catcher also
played good ball.

Commissioners Protest Against Passage
Of Bills Prohibiting New Railroads

After hearing from a large dele
cation of representative citizens, in
Guiding the Marietta and Cobb Coun-
ty Progressive League, the Board Of
County Commissioners adopted very
strong resolutions against the pass
age of proposed bills designed to
prevent the construction of railroads
affecting the business of the West
ern and Atlantic.
We give our ideas about this mat
ter in our editorial column this week
and believe that every fair minded
citizen of North Georgia will agree
with us.
Georgia has no right to prohibit
the building of anything that will
add to the material advancement of
any portion of the State
The resolutions in full follow:
Whereas, the Board of Commission
ers of Roads and Revenue of Cobb
County has learned with grave ap-
prehension that there has been in
troduced into the House of Repre-
sentatives and Senate of Georgia,
bills for the purpose of preventing
any railroads, interurban lines Or
like Developments from being con-
structed, which would compete with
or parallel the Western and Atlantic
Railroad or in any wise affect it's
business, and
Whereas, the County of Cobb and
territory in North Georgia that
would be disastrously affected by the
passage of such laws is entitled to a
sane, free, and fair treatment and
full opportunity to invite investment
of capital and development of it's
great natural resources as all other
parts of the State without being dis
eliminated against and prevented
from SO doing by any such laws, and
Whereas, said territory is also en-,
titled to be relieved of the unjust
burden it is now bearing Of support
ing the courts and juries and trial Of
cases without any return from tax
alton upon the Western & Atlantic
Railroad, and on the contrary is en-
titled to all of the benefits of the
State, county, municipal and school
taxes that would come from the
building of additional roads and the
Development consequent thereon,
and
Whereas, the policy of Georgia has
always been to invite the investment
of capital, encourage competition and
destroy monopoly, and should con-
tinue the same without discrimina-
ton against any part of the State,
and
Whereas, the State of Georgia is
big enough and rich enough to treat
all of its citizens justly and fairly
and impartially, both with relation
to the road owned by it, and in all
other respects, and
Whereas, in the opinion of this
Board it is unjust, wrong, and wholly
unwarranted that such laws should
be passed against the interest of
Cobb County and the large territory
in North Georgia that would be so
seriously hurt thereby,
THEREFORE, RESOLVED, That
this board in behalf of the tax payers
and citizens of Cobb County does
most earnestly protest against the
passage of any such laws, and does
call upon our Senator and Represeu-
tatives in the legislature, and upon
all members of the General Assem-
bly, and the Governor of the State,
to protect them from such injustice
and wrong,

Harvest Help Beyond Needs Around
Aberdeen.

Aberdeen, Aug. 27.-Work in the
harvest fields for 1864 men was fur
nished by the harvest labor bureau of
the Commercial club here this year,
and 1t is estimated than from $4,000
to 10000 harvest hands made Aber-
deem their headquarters during the
harvest. There has been very little
crime here this season as compared
with other years. Fifteen gunner
have been arrested and are either
serving time in the county jail or in
the state penitentiary at Sioux Falls.
The fact that Aberdeen has been a
dry" town since July ! is given as a
reason for this falling off in the num-
Der of crimes committed during the
harvest season.
The supply of men to take ARE of
the harvest vas ample all through
this section. A wage of $3.50 for a
ten-hour day prevailed, and only one

SAVES LIFE
Bitten by Rather, Gregory Man Does
Quick Work Successfully.

Gregory, Aug. 27.-Struck by the
fangs of a rattlesnake while working
in a hay field, Carl Hoblit, employed
on the farm of Benjamin Bailey,
saved his life by his presence of
mind. Immediately after the fangs
had penetrated his arm he cut the
wound with his knife and then suck
ed out the poison. He then went TO a
nearby farmhouse, where the wound
was cut still deeper and more blood
drawn out and an antiseptic applied.
Aside from being made sick from the
effects of sucking out the poison and
having a very sore arm he is none
the worse for his narrow escape from
a horrible death. He was raking hay
when he heard the kissing of a rat
tier behind. the snake evidently hav-
ing been raked up with the hay.
Hoblit placed his arm behind him TO
get off the rake when the fangs of
the reptile struck him near the
elbow.
