MARIETTA STILL IN
LINE FOR BIG CAMP

Mr.. William Tate Holland who has
been in very close touch with the
prospects of landing the army camp
for Marietta is just back from Wash
ington and says that we will still have
an excellent chance to get the camp.
He says that General Leonard Wood
who will choose the location of the
camp, has stated that he expects to
train one half of the troops in Geor-
gia and one half in Texas on account
of the climate. He will be in At
lanta in two or three weeks to de-
eide whether the camp shall be locat-
ed there and if we can get him up
here we are pretty sure to get an
overflow camp located at Kennesaw
Mountain.

COL. ROBERTS TAKES
COL. GILES PRACTICE

Col j. Glenn Giles has been ac-
cepted as an officer il. the reserve
training camp at Fort Mcpherson
and is leaving his legal affairs in the
hands of Col. Will Eph Roberts. Mr..
Giles is well known for his prompt
and efficient services as an attoreny
and it is only natural that he should
choose to leave his practice in the
hands of Mr.. Roberts.
Mr.. Roberts has been member
eff the local bar less than year and
during that time has won quite a
reputation for himself in handling
some difficult cases with distinction.
He is young man of fine character
and with the ability he has already
shown is certain to make an eviable
record for himself as a lawyer. Mr..
Giles has certainly chosen we'll in
leaving his practice in Mr.. Roberts
hands and his clients will have no
cause to complain Friends of both
these popular young men are con-
graduating them on this matter.
In addition to the regular clientele
Mr.. Giles also leaves in Mr.. Roberts
care the representation of the Sea
board Air Line Railroad in Cobb
County.

BRADFORD ADVISES
PLANTING SWEET
POTATOES

The following letter is from DR..
Bradford to County Demonstrator
Sawyer and was given the Journal
for publication.
Cedartown, Ca, May 8, 1917.
Dr. D. E. Sawyer,
Marietta, Georgia.
Dear Mr.. Sawyer:
By far the major part of the soils
of Cobb County are as we'll or better
adapted to the production of sweet
potatoes than those of any other
county in the 7th District. If am
not mistaken this is crop that few
of the farmers of Cobb have hereto
fore found profitable. With the i'm
proved methods now in vogue for
curing and keeping sweet potatoes,
methods that insure such small loses
as to be entirely negligible in calcu-
lating the profits, am sure that you
can render your people and your
country no better service than by
urging greatly increased acreage in
this crop. 1t is a most bountiful pro-
Queer, easily cultivated and always
brings a good price at some time dur
ing the year.
Let me urge also that you bring
to the attention of the chambers of
commerce, or other organizations in
your county, the necessity for their
taking immediate steps to secure the
erection of drying kilns for this crop.
1t is estimated that about half of
the usual crop of sweet potatoes is
lost by rotting. This general i'm
preston is likely to interfere serious
ly with your efforts to increase the
acreage in your county until the
farmers are assured that these i'm
proved methods of curing and keep
ing them will be within their reach
when gathering time comes. l sug-
gest you write to College of Agricul-
ture for bulletin detailing manner
constructing these kilns.
Very truly yours, :.
VIM. BRADFORD,
Assistant State Supervisor.

therefore, the Adamson decision
bears directly upon the problem Of
manufacture. How shall the cost
be distributed? WHAT adjustments
are necessary? To what extent will
the increase granted to the railroad
brotherhood be borne by the pub
lie? Who, in short, pays the ulti-
mate freight?
In the past ten years there have
been many conflicts between ship
pers and carriers, and the Inter
state Commerce Commission has
been deluged with petitions Of
grievance for overcharges. The is
sue between the carrier and tie
brotherhood having been determin-
ed, the next phase of the problem
will arise over the conflict of in
creased rates, and in the determina-
ton OF this question, intricate and
complicated, the Interstate Com
merce Commission will be called up
on to perform most imports at du-
ty. They will have to see to It that
the carriers are measurerab. = com
pensated for the increased burden
through the Adamson act, and at
the same time safeguard the ship
pers against increases that are in
equitable so far as the public is
concerned.
The curbing of the boosted free
dom of action by labor unions; the
advancing of the inherent power Of
Congress to regulate interstate COM
merce; the mandate that\the inter
state traffic must not stop, are
therefore the three essential points
determined by the Supreme Court
decision. l do not discuss the
method of brutality which the bro
l'therhoods adopted in their first
threat to paralize commerce: in
| their stop-watch demand for legis-
lat1on, and in their open threats to
dlsobey the ruling of our highest
| court. The public is sufficiently
versed in the attitude of this parti
cular organization toward the com
mon veal because of the country
insecure condition of preparedness.
Their refusal to arbitrate was blum
deringly stupid, for the decision in
the Adamson case holds in effect
that Congress has the right to com
Ipel arbitration out of consideration
OF public necessity. In my opinion
| organized laborites will be very
chary from now on in demanding
legislation with respect te their
right and grievances. They have al
ready perceived that law may
work both ways instead of one way
their way. They realize now that
the demand for a basic eight hour
day, although granted, carries with
1t substantial restrictions on their
proclaimed freedom of action: 'Let
traffic be stopped" They cannot
now do what they always claimed
they could do, paralyze transports
ton at will. For organized labor
the decision was a victorious re-
treat, and recall of judges will soon
be discussed again.

THE LIBERTY LOAN
BONDS AVAILABLE
TO PUBLIC

- Inc 1lrst offering or Government
Bonds authorized under the war fl
nance law, popularity know as the
Liberty Loan, is now open to popu-
lar subscription.
"These Bonds" says Mr.. Wellborn,
Chairman of the Board of the FEEDER
al Reserve Bank of Atlanta, "are
offered TO the public at par; and SUBJ
scriptions will be received until June
Is, 1917. These Bonds will! be dated
July 1st, bearing an interest rate of
315 per cent, payable semiannually,
January 1st and July 1st. The ma
turtles will be announced later.
"In accordance with the provisions
of the Act, should the Government
later on issue bonds bearing a high
er rate of interest, the present issue
will be convertible into bonds of the
higher rate. The Federal Reserve
Banks have been designated as fiscal
Agents and all subscriptions should
be made to the Federal Reserve Bank
of this district, either direct or
through banks or other agencies CO.
operating with the Federal Reserve
Bank of Atlanta"
Mr.. Wellborn further stated: "This
is the most stupendous piece of fin
ancing and the greatest patriotic un-
dertaking ever attempted by the Am
erlcan people, but it will be met as
all serious situations have been met
by our people, and the result is not
for an instant in doubt.
Il am sure the press will willing
ly give publicity as an aid in pro-
noting the prompt sale of the first
issue of bonds This is not a bond
issue for consumption by banks and
brokers alone, but the denomina-
lions of bonds will be so arranged
that even the small savings of the
country can be profitably and patri-
otically invested.
The young men of the Nation are
called on to fight the battle in the
trenches, and every man and woman
should do their share in providing the
means of furnishing the soldier the
food and equipment necessary to
victory. An opportunity is afforded
for practical display of patriotism.
Large business concerns can encour-
age the sale by purchasing bonds and
selling to employees on monthly paw
ments.
AS a safe investment, these bonds
nave extraordinary privileges. They
are not subject to Federal State or
Local taxation; they are convertible
INTO bonds of higher interest rate
they are the highest type of COLA
teraI on loans in the event of emer-
gency; and after the war thew will
probably go to a premium. For in
stance, IN January, 1917, U. S. Pana-
ma Canal Bonds sold at premium.
IOo a, bearing an interest rate of
only 8 per cent. These were non-cir-
culatlng privilege bonds, similar to
the present issue.
The outward expression of Ameri-
can patriotism should be,
Il OWN A LIBERTY LOAN WAR
BOND.

Well Done, Charleston!

Notwithstanding the fact that a
large portion of Charleston's popula-
ton is German, many of them born IN
the fatherland, yet Charleston has
proven her loyalty and patriotism be-
yond peradventure The people OF
Charleston have unstintedly placed
their wealth at the command of the
government, having subscribed for
Liberty bonds far beyond their allot-
ment. Nearly one-third of the Liberty
bonds purchased in South Carolina,
more than S5,OO0,00 were pur-
chased by patriotic Charlestonians.
Those who are disposed to throw stones
at the "City by the Sea- must hence
forth withhold the appraised hand.
There are no better people in all the
world than the true-blue South Caro-
linians who reside in Charleston. This
has been proven many, many times.
Again we say, Well Done, Charleston!

Commissioner of Agriculture Watson.

The death of COL E. ]. Watson Sat-
urday was distinct loss to the State.
AS commissioner of agriculture, instead
of spending the greater part of lis
time in his Office, as many public OF
ficials are won't to do, he went here
and there over the State as duty called,
keeping in personal touch with the ag-
ricultural class, always encouraging
and inspiring them. He was man OF
wonderful versatility, possessing the
qualities that were needed to make the
office of commissioner of agriculture
of much real value to the people. The
farmers in many parts of South Caro-
lima, with whom he has mingled ano
counseled, will miss Ebbie Watson.
His place will not be easily filled.
