Overcome by Smoke While
Asleep and Could Not
Find The Door.

Charlie Alexander, n we'll known
and respected negro, was burned to
death in his home in Holland Town"
at midnight last Thursday. He was
about 45 years old and had worked
for Mr.. J. w. Hardeman for the past
nine years. Mr.. Hardeman says that
it is big loss to him and that Char
lie was one of the best negroes he
ever knew.
The coroners jury returned YER
dict to the effect that death was from
suffocation but no cause for the fire
could be learned. Mr.. Hardeman
says that he thinks possibly the ne

and dropped off to sleep, the cigar
cite then igniting the bed of straw.
Gus Wood, another negro, went to
the rescue of Alexander but could not
break the door down and while he
could hear Alexander inside calling
for help he was so overcome by the
smoke that he could not locate the
door and was burned to ashes.

j. s. MAY HELP PAVE
ATLANTA ROAD IF
TROOPS COME
Location of Artillery Range
Here Would Make 1t
Almost Necessary.

The greatest advantage that Cobb
county can hope to gain from the
location of the proposed artillery
range north of Marietta is the pro-
ject to get government aid to pave
the Marietta-Atlanta, road.
This is the most expensive road in
the county to maintain and if it could
be permanently paved it would save
all the time and money required to
keep it in decent shape.
The heavy traffic of automobiles
through the county makes it out of
the question for a dirt road to stand
up under the strain and if govern
ment aid can be secured it would be
one of the wisest moves that the coun-
ty commissioners can make.
Before this road is paved, how
ever, the underpasses at Collins
switch and Carmichaels should be
eliminated because it is hard now for
oOlllO u uSho W pass ne
government would probably demand
that this be done on account of the
big trucks used by the army, to say
nothing of the danger of the sharp
curves which have caused damage and
death before.
With this road Strengthened and
paved Cobb County and Marietta will
profit greatly by business men of
Atlanta locating country home here,
such as have been done on the other
roads leading out of Atlanta. This
would give the county a great in
crease in revenue from taxes and in
crease the population.
The matter is being considered by
the army officers at Camp Gordon
but it all depends on whether we get
the artillery range at Blackjack
mountain.

NEWEST RULES FOR
COTTON BUYERS
GIVEN HERE
Bales Must Be Right Size
And Weight or Price
Will be Affected.

The Rules of the Association now
call for the following special instruc-
tons to local buyers.
Any bale from gin-box larger than
27x54 must be locked $1.OO per
bale.
Anv bale Of any size weighing less
than 400 pounds must be locked
81 90 per bale. (Such bales cannot
be compressed to required density.
Furthermore, New England and For
eign Mills figure tare in percentage
which on light bales gives the ship
per a very small tare allowance.)
ANY bale weighing less than 800
pounds is to be considered unmer-
charitable, or if accepted, must be
locked $500 per bale.
ANY bale covered with more than
six yards of two-pound bagging and
six bands of usual weight is unmer-
charitable. AS it is against the State
Law and punishable by fine and i'm
prisonment to make any deduction
either in price or weight for excess
tare, the only way merchant may
protect himself from such imposition
is to treat such bales as unmerchant-
able.
All purchases are to be based on
the cotton being reweighed and if the
cotton is shipped from local weighers
territory without being reweighed
lowing to weights being guaranteed,
etc. the weigher is to be paid his
fee whether he actually reweighed
the cotton or not.
Half and Half cotton is not to be
accepted in basis lots but is to be
culled out and bought separately, if
at all, and all basis purchases are to
be made with this understanding.

OFFICERS FOR HOME
GUARD ELECTED
ON MONDAY
Mr.. B. C. Brumby Was Made
Capt. of New Military
Organization.

Col. j. Cotton Lynes, who organiz-
ed the Marietta Rifles Al years ago,
was elected Capt. of the Marietta
Home Guard at the meeting held
Monday night. After the other of
fieers had been elected Col. Lynes
made a fine little speech in which he
explained that on account of being
on the retired list of the State Mill
tary role he was not eligible to hold
the commission of Captain. He there
fore rendered his resignation which
was accepted He offered his counsel
and advice to the organization and
his physical services in the event he
was needed
Col. Lynes organized the Marietta
Rifles Al years ago and was elected
Captain of that organization. He
later went to Rome, Ga, where he
was elected Captain of the Rome
Light Guard. He served four years
in the war of 1861, and. was also at
one time Captain of the Alex Ste
phens Rifles So it will be seen that
the Home Guard missed finely expe-
rienced officer because Of this legal
technicality. His resignation was ac-
cepted with a vote of thanks and an
expression of regret.
Following the resignation of Col.
Lynes, Mr., Bolan G. Brumby was e.
lected Capt. He also holds commits
sion on the Governors Staff which
it hoped will not prevent him retain
ing the honor conferred upon him
Monday night.
Mr.. Campbell Wallace was elected
First Lieutenant, and Mr.. w. T. Potts
Second Lieutenant. The other Off
GERS will be appointed by the Cap
tain.
The first and third Monday nights
in each month were designated as
drill nights and the organization was
formally named Marietta Home
Guard.
Between the resignation of Col.
Lynes and the election of Mr.. Brum-
by, Col w. R. Power presided over
the meeting.

LITTLE BOY" TAKES LONG
RIDE IN A BAGGAGE CAR.

Last Sunday as little Hugh Gatlin,
the ten-year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs.
M. r. Gatlin, was on his way to Sun
day School, he saw his father, who is
the baggage master, and was almost
ready to leave for Chattanooga.
Hugh decided all at once that he
would rather go to Chattanooga than
to go to Sunday School, and the
baggage car seemed so roomy, that
he couldn't see why he couldn't be
included in the baggage that was to
go that day. His father didn't see
1t that way at first, but Hugh coaxed
and coaxed and like the man in the
parable who Wouldn't hear for the
mans sake, yet for his much pleading
he arose and gave him to eat; Mr..
Gatlin who didn't hear for Hugh's
sake yet for his much plead
ing he pitched him into the bag
gage car and away sped towards
Chattanooga. And one little boy
was missing at Sunday School, but
was he conscience stricken? Well,
should say he was not. He was
spending the day in Chattanooga.
And the people who passed him on
the street that day, didn't know that
he was just baggage.
