.MISTR|AL IN CASE
OF SOLICITOR CLAY

The trial of Solicitor General Her
bert Clay attracted large crowd II
Cobb Superior Court last Friday
afternoon and Saturday morning.
The jury, after being out severa
hours, reported to the court that they
were hopelessly divided and could not
agree on a verdict; that they stood
seven one way and five the other
and mistrial was declared.
The indictment charged Mr.. Clay
with having followed Mrs. Bobbie
Lee Greer when she alighted from the
1890 midnight car from Atlanta
several months ago, and started to-
ward her home on Whitlock avenue
and with having placed his hand upon
her and making improper remarks to
her when he overlook her just west
of Anderson Bros. store.
Mrs. Greer testified emphatically
to these allegations, and Policemen
Grower and Sanders testified that
they saw Mr.. Clay and Claud Mad
dox standing near the car when Mrs
Greer alighted, and that Mr.. Clay
left Mr.. Maddox and followed Mrs
Greer as she started toward her
home.
Mr.. Clay introduced no evidence
but made statement in his own be-
half to the jury, in which he admitted
that he approached Mrs. Greer, spoke
to her and shook hands with her nea.
Anderson Bros. store on the night in
question, but most positively denied
making any improper remarks to her
He claimed that prosecution was a
frame-up by his political enemies.
He stated that he had known Mrs
Greer for several years and had
never heard anything against her
character.
Many witnesses were in court to
testify to the excellent character OF
Mrs Greer if it had been attacked.
The case was hard fought on both
sides. Hon. Walter McElreath, Of
Atlanta, and Gordon Gam, of Mari
eta, represented the prosecution,
while the defense was represented by
Hon. Charles H. Griffin and Judge
George F. Gober.
A mistrial having been declared,
the case stands for trial again at the
next term of court.

WHISKEY GALORE
AND A FULL CAR

Last Sunday night about nine
o'clock Buick Six automobile driven
by a negro and occupied by two
white men and one white woman, was
seen coming toward Marietta down
the Cherokee road at a high rate of
speed, turning to the right at the Nc
Cliskey gin to come into the Bells
Ferry road toward Church street,
near John Browns store they could
not make the sharp turn, so over the
bank they went, crushing the two
front wheels of the car and spilling
the occupants together with about
$50 gallons of apple brandy and corn
whiskey, mostly in gallon tin cans.
The white occupants of the car, ap-
pearing to be badly bruised, got into
another automobile that was follow
ing the wrecked car, after having re-
moved the number plate from same,
and were driven away.
The negro driver of the wrecked
car began at once to hide the liquor
in the vines, bushes and gulleys
nearby, but a large crowd quickly
gathered and the goods began to rap
idly disappear in every direction.
Constable Dave Latimer and Police
man Tom Sanders were the first Off
GERS on the scene, and by this time
the negro driver had gone.
The officers took charge of the
wrecked car, together with twenty
six gallons of the booze, and brought
it to Marietta. After they had gone,
Sheriff Swanson's son found about
twenty-five gallons more of the hid
dep goods, but the mob which had
gathered took it all and made for the
woods with it.
Sheriff Swanson was out of town
at the time, and on his return poured
out the captured whiskey, and is now
looking for the occupants of the car,
and no doubt he will locate them
through the register number of the
engine.

ROSWELL BRIDGE FUND
LOANED BY COURT ORDER

The case of the Board of County
Commissioners against ]. B. Barfeld,
county treasurer, to require him to
loan at interest the special fund of
$4,000 levied and collected in 1916
to rebuild the Roswell bridge was up
for a hearing before Judge Morris
Saturday.
The petitioners alleged that after
this fund was collected that the au-
thorities of Fulton County refused to
pay their part for rebuilding the
bridge, and that the bridge has not
been relull5 Tor unat reason; that ever
since its collection it has been in the
bank, drawing no interest; that while
under the law the money could not be
to rebuild the bridge, they prayed
an order of court directing the
county treasurer to loan the money
out at interest until it could be used
for the purpose it was collected.
D. w. Blair represented the county
board and Campbell Wallace as at
torney for the county treasurer,
stated that his client was willing to
do anything he could legally do so as
to protect himself and bondsmen
under the law Judge Morris stated
that he was going to pass an order
directing that the fund be loaned
at interest, and suggested that the at
torneys and parties get together and
see if they could not agree on a con-
sent order disposing of the matter.
In very few minutes they arrived
at an agreement for the First Ma
tional Bank, where the money was on
deposit, to pay the county interest at
the rate of per cent per annum
from September l, 1917, until the
fund was used to rebuild the bridge
in question, the bank consenting
thereto.
The court signed an order to this
effect disposing of the matter.

ments.
A vacancy having occurred on the
the Board of County Commissioners
on account of the death of Mr.. j,
B. Wing, we have after careful con-
sideration, elected by a unanimous
vote, Mr. Jasper L. CAN'T, to fill the
unexpired term. We believe Mr..
CAN'T to be thoroughly competent
and qualified man, and commend him
to our Board of Commissioners and
citizens generally.
Mr.. T. V. Coleman, having resign
ed as N. P. and Off j. P. for the
845th district of Cobb County, we

the 1O1 7th district and Mr.. R. D..

We recommend that on account of
the greatly increased cost of food
stuffs, that the Sheriff be allowed
65 cents per day for feeding prison
ers, instead of 60 cents as is now al
lowed.
We recommend that the County
Commissioners take immediate steps
to compel the Southern Railroad to
replace or repair the bridge over
their tracks at Oakdale, same being
in dangerous condition, and they
having postponed the matter from
time to time for long period.
Through committees, we have eX-

LAND FRAUD CASES
ALL OUT OF COURT

On Friday of last week Solicitor
General Herbert Clay, in open court,
asked an order ofthe court discharg-
ing and acquitting Charles E. Davis
and L. P. Weathers, in the famous
land fraud indictments.
He also asked in open court that
the court permit him to take ver-
dict in the j. E. Motley case as fol-
lows: eve, the jury, find the de-
fendant not guilty; we further find
that the prosecution was tnfounded,"
and the verdict was taken.
At the July term of court he asked
that verdict be given H. B. Moss
finding him not guilty, which was
done.
In August he dismissed the cases
in Cherokee county against c. e.
Davis. In September he dismissed
the cases in Pickens county against
Davis.
These indictments were all re-
turned just before the primary cleo
tions for solicitor and judge last sum-
mer and a great deal of political
capital was made out ofthem. Many
speeches were made by Solicitor Clay
telling how he was going to put all
these parties in the penitentiary.
They are all out of court now, and
on the motion Of Solicitor Clay him.

county large sum of money at the
expense of the taxpayers.

SPEAKERS APPEAL
FOR Y. N. c. A.

IN Sunday evening at 1880 a union
vnooting was held at the Methodist
church to formulate plans for rails
inc war funds for the 7. M. c. A.
The house was well filled and all the
nastors of the city were present. The
service was opened by singing "The
Rattle Hymn of the Republic" fol
lowed by prayer and Scripture read
ing.
Mr.. Edwards, who is associated
with the Y. M. C. A. at Fort Ogle-
thorpe. made an interesting appeal
of ten minutes. He outlined the work
being done at the army camps for the
soldiers. telling how they looked
after the physical life of the boys,
giving them games for recreation
after the work was over.
He related how educational work
was carried on, how they taught
classes of boys who could not read,
anuealing to his hearers to think of
these boys as human beings, just
average human beings as are else
where who have not had the advant-
ages of learning. One company at
Fort Oglethorpe was composed of
men of seventeen different nationali-
ties, and with them the work was
progressing. One Georgia soldier of
95 had only learned to write his
name.
Books, magazines and papers were
kept for the boys, and writing ma
terial and even more, sometimes the
secretaries write letters-yes, even
love letters-for the boys and then
read the answers for them. Every
help was given the boys to improve
the social condition and make a real
home for them.
But the religious work is the in
spiration of the Y. NJ. C. A. secre-
taries. Bible classes are held twice
week, and every possible help is
given the men through personal con-
tact with them, to avoid the tempta-
tons and pitfalls which beset on
every side in camp.
He paid tribute to the patriotism
and heroism Of the secretaries, who
are voluntarily serving in France,
calling attention to the fact that 8
per cent Of those who have gone have
already been killed They occupy
places of the greatest danger always
there, and another contingent of sec
retarles had orders to sail about the
18th of this month He urged the
people to place the Y. M. c. A. on a
hrm foundation to enable it to follow
the boys and keep hold of them and
bring them home again safe and
clean.

tary Of the Y. NJ G. A. at Athens for

PUBLIC PLEASED
With NEW HOTEL

Fairmont people visited the new no.
tel yesterday afternoon and evening
literally by thousands. The place was
crowded from the time the doors we're
thrown open atabout o'clock until
about midnight. Nor were the visitors
confined to the people of the city All
the little towns within an easy trip
o. the city were represented and there
would have been many more of these
visitors had the weather and the roads
been favorable to automobiling.
The visitors were uniformly charmed
with what they saw and the uninter'
rupted flow of approval and congratu'
lation must have gone long way to-
ward rewarding the members OF the
committee, Manager O'Neil and his
assistants who worked feverishly for
a month or more preparing the house
for the triumph 1t scored yesterday.
AS was to have been expected all
we're charmed with the good taste that
has been displayed in the outfitting Of
the hotel and the vast amount Of
thought that was given to the comfort
Of the guests. 1.-THE success of hotel
depends upon the kind of an impress.
sion it makes on the opening day The
Fairmont will score some new records
in the hotel annals Of this state.
One of the pleasing features of both
afternoon and evening was the con-
certs which were rendered by the
Greater Fairmont Band and Of the Vim
cent orchestra which played in the aft
ernoon from 8 to6 and in the evening
for the dancing
Many of the young people took part
in the dancing and one Of the notice
able things about the crowd was the
large number who we're in full even
ing dress.

WILSON WILL ACT
IN COAL FAMINE

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, July II. -
The coal shortage problem in the
Northwest will be carried by Presi-
dent Wilson to the railroad committee
of the Council of National Defense,
according to word received here to-
day from Joseph P. Tumulty, secre'
tary to the President. The word was
received in response to telegram
from the Minneapolis Civic and Com
merce Association urging upon the
President the gravity Of the coal sit
uation.
WASHINGTON, July II. - Gov.
Goodrich Of Indiana told the Senate
Interstatee Commerce committee yes
terday that coal prices in his state had
been stiffened considerably by the re-
cent price agreement between the BIZ
luminous operators and the Defense
Councils coal production committee.
He said, too that although the coal car
supply in Indiana had been increased
1900 in As days and now we're getting
100 per cent servicee no drop in prices
had resulted.
While there is no standard price of
Indiana Gov. Goodrich said the oper-
ators had been getting from $1.90 to SO
a ton for mine-run coal at the mouth
of the mines, while $1.30 ton would
be an outside price for $50 per cent. of
the output The price fixed by the
recent agreement was $2.75,
Commissioner Colver, Of the Federal
Trade Commission, said he believed
the only solution Of the problem is for
the government to pool the coal or fix
the coat Of production at the mines
and follow 1t all the way through to
the consumer.
