Editor Journal:
Will you advise me and my neigh
bors the address of Mr.. Bill Harris
who used to live in Cedartown, but
l understand now has a $4,000 job
with the government somewhere?
l hear that he is going to run for
the United States Senate, but first
we would like to tell him few things
about this coal business. had the
money last summer to buy my coal,
but | saw in the paper where Mr..
Harris said that coal was too high
and that he was going to see to it
that we got our coal heap cheaper,
that his Office with the government
gave him the power to do this. He
had big job of some sort, or at
least the pay was big, and he talked
big through the papers at that time.
Well, l did not buy any coal but
took his advice and waited.
In fact / am waiting yet, but the
reason now is that / can not get it
at any price, and it just keeps me
so busy thinking about how to get
enough coal each day to keep my
folks from freezing, that cant think
of much anything else. And the
price of what little ] am able to get
has gone up higher and higher.
Sometimes / am tempted to think
that the Bill Harris who advised us
about the coal must have been a
different Bill Harris, and not the one
who was working for the government,
for it looks like the government
would have it's employees work in
the interest of the people, and not the
coal trust.
Anyhow, am going to be little
slow about taking any more advice
from any man of that name, and /
would be glad if you would give us
the correct name and address of the
Bill Harris who got US in all this
trouble. A MARIETTA VOTER.
IF you address Hon. w. ]. Harris,
Chairman of Federal Trade Commits
sion, Washington, D. c., he should
receive it,

THE BOY SCOUTS AND THE
LIBERTY LOAN.

The report of the work of the Boy
Scouts of America in the Second Lib
erty Loan drive has been made public.
1t shows that the Boy Scouts were
directly responsible for the sale of
$101 1873, 900 in bonds.
This means that they procured
about IL per of the total subscrip-
tons to the loan, and the number
Of bonds they sold show that they Sc
cured 1 subscription out of every 18.
This is a splendid record for the
boys of America and hopeful sign
for the future of the country when the
boys of the land are willing and able
to perform such valuable public SER
vice
1t is to leave them such national
heritage as our forefathers of the
Revolution bequeathed to their de-
scendants that the proceeds of the
Liberty Loan are to be used.

DO WE NEED ROADS?

Will the people of Cobb County
wake to their present opportunity
and back their commissioners in per-
manent road work with Government
help2
Opportunity is knocking at the
door of Cobb County and it remains
for the Citizens of the County to
welcome HER with all the enthusi-
asm and energy at their command
The Federal Government proposes
to spend part Of the 1918 Georgia
Highway appropriation on the Cobb
County roads. The Cobb County
Commissioners have submitted to the
Georgia Highway Commission three
objects viz; The Dixie Highway the
Bankhead Highway and the Paulding
Polk and Cobb Highway, the State
Highway Engineer has already view
each proposed project and will recon-
mend one of the three upon which
the Federal Aid will be spent, the
Government will reimburse the Coun-
ty one dollar for every dollar spent
by the County upon the accepted
project.
Let the County Commissioners de-
eide what amount would be available
for permanent road work each year
and apply that mount, supplemented
by the Government help, to just such
milage as will assure permanent
roads, if the county could appropri-
ate $4,000 this same amount would
be supplemented by the Government
and would build 10 miles of sure
enough roads each year, this program
might be carried out every year until
every trunk road in the County would
soon be made permanent. We wish
our people would seriously consider
the great value of permanent good
roads, and they would urge this mat
ter on our commissioners for imme-
date action. Don't wait for your
neighbor to do it, speak the word
yourself.
See or write your commissioners
now.

A BAD CITIZEN, BUT
A VERY GOOD ACTOR

This is not a patent medicine or a
quack doctors advertisement, as you
may have guessed it to be by the
headline.
If you thought that you have an
other thought coming to you.
When George Morris, alias George
Thomas, was arrested on the charge
of burglary, no one supposed him to
be insane. When he was convicted
and sentenced by Judge Morris, no
evidence of insanity had appeared,
nor had any basis of his defence rest
ed such theory.
However Immediately after his con-
viction and sentence to the chaingang
he developed violent insanity. He
frothed at the mouth, tore up his
bedclothes in the Jail, and gave a
good imitation of Bosco, the Snake
Eater, or the Wild Man from Borneo.
DR.. Parkinson, the County physician,
made an examination of George and
decided that he was good actor al
though bad citizen, and ordered him
sent to the convict camp. Warden
Morris took George out to the Camp,
and when he started to put down his
record, George still appeared to be
hopelessly insane. He ignored all
questions asked him and continued to
tear his clothes and froth at the
mouth.
Captain Morris then called for the
whipping strap with the remark that
when he got through with George he
would be cured.
George suddenly seemed to come
out of his trance, Hold on boss" he
said, "I'm cured right now. You
don't have to put the leather to me.
I've done time before and I'm going
to be good niger"
George is now hard at work, eats
well, sleeps well and is mending ra-
Their than tearing his pajamas,

No RIGHT TO HAVE
LIQUOR EVEN FOR
PERSONAL USE
Supreme Court Has Made
An Important Decision
On This Point.

The U. S. Supreme Court has just
rendered an opinion which is most as
suredly victory for the "bOne dry"
prohibitionists.
The decision holds that citizen
has no right to have liquor in his
possession, even for personal use, if
the state forbids it.
Justice Reynolds gave the courts
opinion that state "has power abb
solutely to prohibit manufacture,
gift, purchase, sale or transportation
of intoxicating liquors within its bor-
ders without violating the constitu-
ton.
eve further think" ne added, cit
clearly follows from our numerous
decisions upholding prohibition legis-
lation that the right to hold intoxi-
eating liquors for personal use is not
one of those fundamental privileges
of a citizen of the United States
which no state may abridge. A con-
trary view would be incompatible
with the undoubted power to prevent
manufacture, gift, sale, purchase or
transportation of such articles-the
only feasible ways of getting them.
And assured right of possession would
necessarily imply some adequate me-
thod to obtain not subject to destruc-
ton at the will Of the state"

not powerless. Be one of them-join

YOUR INCOME TAXES
FIGURED OUT
FOR YOU
But 1t Will Be Your Duty to
Report To The Collec-
tor For Yourself.

/ AIldHJd, NIds, Ley. IL IOI
You won't have to figure out your
income tax all by yourself hereaf-
ter. The government is going to send
out men to help you. 1t will be up
to you to hunt up these men, who
will be sent into every county seat
town, and some other towns besides.
to meet the people. Postmasters,
bankers, and newspapers will be able
to tell you when the governments
income tax man will be around, and
where to find him. He will answer
your questions, swear you to the re-
turn, take your money and remove
the wrinkles from your brow, Re-
turns of income for 1917 must be
made between January / and March
1, 1918.
"The Government recognizes"
Collector of Internal Revenue Blalock
said today, chat many persons ex-
perience a good deal of difficulty in
filling out income tax forms. 1t rec
ognizes too, that taxpayers resident
at points where collectors officers are
not easily accessible find it hard to
get proper instruction in the law.
Next year, when every married per-
son, living with wife or husband, and
having a net income of $4,000 and ev-
cry unmarried person not the head
of family and having net income
of $1,000, for the year 1917 must
make rturn of income on the form
prescribed, there will be hundreds in
every community seeking light on
the law, and help in executing their
returns. Ny own and every other
collection district in the nation will
be divided into districts, with tn e
county as the unit, and government
assigned to each district. He will
spend hardly less than week in each
county, and in some counties a longer
time, very likely in the courthouse
at the county seat town In cities
where there are collectors branch
offices, he will be there, and in other
cities possibly at the city hall. My
office will in due time advise post
masters and bankers and send out
notices to the newspapers stating
when the officer will be in each coun-
ty. 1t will be unnecessary for pros
pective taxpayers to ask my office
for forms on which to make returns.
The officers who visit their county
will have them.
at may be stated as a matter of
general information that met income
is the remainder after substracting ex-
penses from gross income. Person
al, family, or living expense is not
expense in the meaning of the law,
the exemption being allowed to cover
such expense.
"The new exemption of 1000 and
$4,000, will add tens of thousands
to the number of income taxpayers
in this district, inasmuch as practi-
cally every farmer, merchant, trades
man, professional man and salary
worker and great many wage work
ers will be required to make return
and pay tax.
"The law makes it the duty of the
tax payer to seek out the collector.
Many people assume that if an in
come tax form is not sent, or a gov
eminent officer does not call, they are
relieved from making report. This
is decidedly in error. 1t is the other
way round. The taxpayer has to
go to the government and if he
doesn't within the time prescribed,
he is violater of the law, and the
government will go to him with its
penalties"
