PLEADS
FOR TAXES ON v & A

A strong delegation of prominent
cluzens from our county, under the
leadership of Representative Fred
Morris, appeared before the Western
4 Atlantic lease commission last
Thursday and urged the commission
to make some provision, in the event
the road is to be released, to take
care of the several counties through
which the road runs, by which the
road may be taxed for the benefit of
the Counties and to reimburse them
for the expenses of Court trials and
the building of bridges over the
road.
1t was shown that our County re-
ceives no taxes, amounting to an an
nual loss of probably $4,000. that
1t is expanding approximately $3.50
annually in Court expenses incurred
on account of litigation against the
road and that during the past two
years has spent about $12,500.00 in
constructing two bridges over the
road and that none of the amount is
ever returned to the County.
In the delegation were: Represen-
tative Fred Morris, Mr.. c. w. Nor
gan, Kennesaw, Mr.. J. b. Wing. Ros-
well, Mr.. NJ. S. Booth. Kennesaw
Mr.. j. Nj. Austin, Mr.. j. f. Massey
Col. Lindley w. Camp, Mr.. NJ. L.
Mcneil, Hon. j. p. Cheney, Ordinary
J. NJ. Gam, and Mr.. j. w. Chastain
of Kennesaw.
There were also delegations from
Fulton, Barlow and Catoosa counties
present, urging the same relief.
Representative Morris worked for
and obtained provision in the lease
Act giving the Commission the right
and power to make some provision
for the relief of the counties in this
respect and it is now up to the Com
missiOners to give us the relief. The
fact that no provision of this kind
was made in the old lease has prob
ably cost this County in what it has
expended and lost approximately half
a million dollars.

HIGH SCHOOL CLASS
PAID HIGH TRIBUTE

When Col. Blair arose to bestow
diplomas upon ten girls and seven
less at the arnory last Friday eve
ming he announced the board of edu-
cation was declaring a dividend on
the most valuable securities in the
world. Then he declared those grad
yates were the most valuable assets
in the world because they would
soon become the women and men
who would take up the affairs we
would leave to them in the course
of time.
DR.. Patton, in his opening invoca-
ton, had thanked heaven for our
faithful and capable superintendent
Of schools, who had labored so many
years in the cause of education, and
all the fathers and mothers present
would have felt sorry for Prof. Du-
mas at the sight OF those pretty
girls with their bouquets and dip
Tomas meaning farewell to his faith
erly care if they had not remembered
that school girls and boys form
procession that never fails.
The stage was banked with green
vines and daisies and across the back
was a white picket fence giving a
rustic touch to the scene The

ing rose bushes and the boys were
all very nice looking. A boy who
won first honor bore the imposing
name of Ralph Waldo Emerson Fow-
Ter and another boy who also W =

Ter Griggs. OF these two illustrious
preachers Warren Gambler is still liv-
ing and continuing his crusade fo'
education of both the head and tie
that character transcends knowledge
and what a man is must always be
Of more importance than what he
knows or what he does.
The class officers were president,
Annie Hair Dobbs; vice president,
Louie villa Dean; secretary, Mary
Frar tes Gilbert, and treasurer, Ralph
Waldo Emerson Fowler.
Miss Lucille Morris, who will be a
senior next term, played piano a.
compartments for the class songs
and for Miss Mildred Parks, the sing
ing teacher of the Marietta schools,
to sing Last Rose of Summer"
which she did in grand opera style.
Miss Annie Hair Dobbs played an
instrumental piano piece, and four
girls in japanese Eimonas sang a
Jap love song that was very catchy.
Miss Elizabeth Hague, in deep
pink and as sweet and piquant as a
maidens blush rose, sang the soprano
while Misses Mary Frances Gilbert,
Leone Swanson, Hattie Black and
Mary l.. Benson sang the minor parts
and the refrain.
Miss Benson had throat affec
ton that prevented her from reading
her Glass Sketches, so Miss Odessa

GOOD EFFECTS OF TROUBLE
Much of the Advancement OF the
World May Be Traced to Those
PuonaciousIy Inclined.

Most of us love trouble-that Is,
most Of the human race. Man cannot
remain contentedly out Of trouble Tor
any length of time, it seems. And Il
you doubt the statement. all you nave
to do is to remember the numerous In
stances when you were getting along
all right, and then deliberately "Dutted
into" something that was not your az
fair.
Take the matter of politics, II you
please. Half Of the political troubles
we read about are unnecessary. mat
is to say, lot Of the people mixed up
in politics are so mixed for no pur-
pose in this world save that they may
make trouble for themselves or some
body else. For it really makes little
difference to the average man who is
elected indeed the average man takes
an interest in politics not because he
thinks by doing so he can best serve
the public, but because he wants
fight.
IOf course all of us like to flatter our
selves that we are doing something for
the nation or the country or group
of people. But the truth is most of
us are doing nothing of the kind.
But, did you know that most Of the
good that has so far resulted to the
world has come from the troublemak-
ers, and not from the peacemakers p

Mr.. O'Conne1l.

ALEXANDRA STILL POPULAR

Queen Alexandra still remains the
most popular member of the royal
family Of England, and scarcely a day
passes that she does not make at least
one public appearance at some bene-
fit for war veterans. Although she
will celebrate her seventy-third birth
day next December, Alexandra takes
the utmost pride In her personal ap-
pearance, and at distance she gives
more the impression of being unaf-
fected by time than does Queen Mary.
Nobody thinks of calling the wild
ow queen the s'queen mother or the
''dowager queen" She objects to be-
ing designated by either of these tt
ties in print, yet no familiar use of
them by the press would lead her
friends to adopt them in speaking OF
her. They don't fit. She doesn't take

not and never has attempted to inter-
fere in politics, and devotes herself

Roofing

takes its place in the SUI" and holds it longer
than other similar roofing, because it IS made
of the very best quality roofing felt, thoroughly
saturated with the correct blend of soft asphalts,
and coated with blend of harder asphalts.
This outer coating keeps the inner Saturation
soft, and prevents the drying out process SO
destructive to the ordinary roof
The blend Of asphalts used by The General
is tle result of long experience. It produces
roofing more pliable than those which have
less saturation, and which are, therefore,
harder and drier.
AT each of the Generals big mills, expert
chemists are constantly employed to refine,
test and blend the asphalts used; also TO expert
mentf for possible improvements. Their constant
endeavor is to make the best roofing still better
The quality of CERTAIN-TEED is such that
it is guaranteed for S, 10 or Is years, according
to thickness &, 2 or ply. Experience proves
that it lasts longer Behind this guarantee is the
responsibility of the worlds largest manufac-
turer of roo6ngs and building papers.
