to stay in her car and help him get
the stricken motorists to Marietta

to driving the big auto with its
CHASTITY burden back to town. How
ever, man took her place at the
wheel and she returned to Mrs.
Gardeners while Mrs Robson tried
to comfort poor woman who live
just across the road from the curve
on which the accident occurred and
had seen the car turning over She
was shocked into a frenzy and could
not control her emotion. 1t was a
sight to hOrrify any one but she fin
ally was able to think of the possibil-
ity Of doing something for the in
jured and told Mrs. Robson to give
them all the quilts they needed Miss
Mary Robson does not intend to be
a-chauffer-err to rescue distress
ed motoring parties but when she
chances to run into one she will not

Marietta, Ga, Aug. IS, 1916.
The Marietta Journal
In last Sundays Atlanta Journal
appeared an editorial launching an
attack against our fellow townsman,
Hon. e. p. Dobbs, as a candidate for
the office of comptroller-g general of
the state.
1t made the unsupported assertion
that he was an ally of a corporation,
but failed to state whether as agent
stock holder. sole owner, or allied
by desire to have justice done and
improve the material welfare Of the
state.
The question arises: Since when
has it become inconsistent with the
principles Of patriotism and loyalty.
for citizen to harbor desire to
advance the business interests of his
country?
The time has arrived when the
thinking people must realize that
we have listened too long to the
preaching Of this corporation bug-o-
boo. 1t would appear that we are
fast drifting to the point and it will
be sorry day for Georgia when it's
citizens must stand in the middle of
the big road with club and knock
on the head every corporation that
might chance to stray this way, be-
fore he dares to announce for public
office.
1t should be patent to every man
that every corporation or combina-
ton of capital locating in Georgia
is an asset to our State, and a mater
ial benefit to every farmer, laboring
man and business man in the com
munity.
And the man that pulls the hardest
and longest to draw capital into the
state is its NEST loyal friend
When we flood our state with cor
porations as the New England States
have done, then and not till then.
viii be be Independent Of the New
England States,
The people of this community have
known Mn Dobbs all his life and
have put his administrative and exc
cutive ability to a severe test under
most trying conditions and found
him equal to every demand made on
him.
feel safe in saying the people
who know him best, his home peo-
pie, have every confidence in his in
tegrity, industry, administrative abil-
ity and his undivided loyalty to his
town, county and state
May his tribe increase,

there can be any truth in the mali
cious charges against the courage and
backbone of a man who fought glo-

the Prohibition acts possible in the

threats?
Will you deny to Georgia the priv

the last time, man who honored his
gray uniform beneath the grand old
stars and bars of the Confederacy?

horse steak today?
Customer-Neigh Neigh!
At which the butchers boy is expect

fer from tuberculosis than Is the COW
and that the horse ls more dlscrimi-

Arguments, from various sources,
against horse meat as food for human
beings, are that the flesh is darker,
tougher and less palatahle than COW
meat; that inspection to insure good

that young, healthy horses whose meat
might be good to eat, are worth twice

apt to be put on the food market. and
that, finally. the public won't overcome
its prejudice against horse meat anV-
how.
There are some horse meat sales, but
the market is exceedingly restricted
and mighty few shops list the item.
DIR. w. T.. Hornday Of the Bronx
