10 CENTS POUND FOR
FIRST BALE OF COTTON

Eighteen cents a pound was the
sensational price paid for the first
bale of Cobb County cotton Tues
day morning. The bale was raised
by Mr.. w. M. Latimer, who has
brought in the first bale for the past
two years, this making his third sue
cessive year with the first bale.
Fowler Brothers Company bought
the bale.
While this price was rather high,
il is apparent that the price viii be
ia the neighborhood of fifteen cents
a pound this fall as the crop estimat
acs are low. The crop is shor and
that means good price if the farm .
ers will use good judgment in bring
ing it into the markets slowly in
Accepting with the demand.

Whoever has known the

from Georgia for many
years, having opportunities
to graft and to be corrupted,

Of thousands oflOyal friends,

When Herbert Clay be-
came a candidate for Sole

he told his friends that he

He is now accused of not

CANTON WALLOPl0 BY
MARIETTA SAT- SATURDAY ] AltBAII !

n Canton has been vanquished. But
dear reader remember this does not
include Johnny RudasiI. Johnny did
not play in the game last Saturday.
That running around feature he
pulls was devoted to chasing all over
the Southwest side of Cherokee coun-
ty after balls that Marietta players
hit. And then the game was delayed
because he could not keep up wit
the rapid fire pounding the local
boys pulled on Johnny's Pets. If
Johnny had played, why of course
we never would have had a chance
We will have to take another day
and play Johnny all by himself and
then the victory will be complete
that is if we can beat Johnny single
handed.
Interest in the game 6 at lrday WI S
deeper than ever because it had been
agreed that it should be the last
Six games had been played and Ma
rietta had won three and Canton
three. The seventh was to be the
grand finale, and grand it was. Elev-
en- to ,wo-eight runs wasted. AZ
three perfectly good pitchers were
wasted. Yes they were. The pitch
ers were all right; the trouble was
w, I'll the batting eye of the Maritt-
tt boys They never took their eye
off the ball except when it got so
far over the fence they could not
see it any more. they batt9d ba Is
over the fence fas,er than Johnny
'oud haul them to the park. 1t was
awful, especially for johnny who
stayed bravely by and watched the
fireworks, but was powerless to stop
it, Il

think of it. These three peerle
pitcher. Were a.,d 80 hard that
the Marietta boys got tired finally
and let up. Canton got oAe gul IN

Until the last of it.
