GOES TO SAVANNAH

Miss Julia Schilling has been elect
ed to the position of assistant libra
rian in the Public Library of Sa-
vannah to fill a vacancy cause by the
death of former assistant. This
is quite a distinction for this charm
ing Marietta girl who won the place
over a number of other applicants.
After her graduation in the train
ing school of the Carnegie Library in
Atlanta she became secretary to the
librarian and general assistant in
the management of this great Libra
ry. Before this she spent some time
teaching. Hon. J. Randolph Ander-
son, who has summer home here
IS a trustee Of the Savannah Libra
ry.
Marietta regrets to lose Miss Ju-
la Schilling, who leaves soon for
her new position in Savannah, al
though she is to be congratulated up
on her appointment and on the fact
mat she will reside in such a beauti-
lul, interesting and altogether lovely
pace as that historic old city.

OLD TIME CAMP MEET
ING TO BE HELD SOON

Old Fashioned Camp Meeting
Where? At the Marietta Camp
Ground. When? Beginning Friday
before the second Sunday in August.
Do very many people go there now?
Yes, good many sons and daughters
and grandchildren of the first tent
holders still go there, striving to
keep up this old sacred place where
many, many people have received
great blessings. Is it worth the time
and trouble to pack up and move out
there for the few days of meeting,
now that we have so many churches {;
do we need these camp meetings as
in days gone by? Let us think on
this. Is not sin as prevalent or even
more so than in other days? Are not
these very critical times in our coun-
try's existence? And what is the re-
ligious condition of our homes? Are
the family affairs" still going? Are
our young people just as consecrated
and useful as they might be? Then
let us keep up these recruiting sta
tions," our dear old Camp Ground,
where so many of the soldiers Of
the cross have gone forth to battle
against sin and wrong These old
Camp Meetings furnished many re-
cruits in faithful and loyal members
for the nearby churches and there
fore prove a help indeed. Yea, as
long as the timbers in the old arbor
(Which were hewn out by loving
hands, shall last, shall we not meet
for few days each year to ''Praise
God from Whom all Blessings Flow" ;
to have our hearts warmed by the
reuniting of families and friends
and our souls sweetly stirred by the
plain gospel sermons and the dear old
songs our parents loved and sang in
years gone by? Then shall we let
minor things keep us from tenting
this year? Nay, never, this should
be made and can be made the best
year for a good genuine revival at
the old Camp Ground. There are
to be two new tents built, and several
families from a neighboring town,
who have never camped with us be-
fore, coming out to help support and
enjoy good meeting Then as the
soldier boys sing, lets rally to the
Calf and do our "bit" to help in the
cause of our Master who has said !:
"The harvest truly is plenteous but
the laborers are few"

EFFORT TO DEFEAT
CHENEY MARKET BILL

Especial attention of Georgia far
mers is called to the effort that is
being made to defeat their market
bureau bill through a substitute
which, if passed, would not bring
them the relief they seek and, in
addition, would put further tax
burden upon them, to provide for the
expenses of it.
The pending market bureau bill,
known as the CheneyStewart bill,
is the measure which has been in
dorsed by the Farmers Union of
Georgia and by farmers mass meet
ings all over the state. 1t provides
for the payment of expenses out of
taxes which the farmer is already
paying, namely, the inspection fees on
fertilizers and oils. There is plenty
of surplus money derived from this
source to meet the expense, and no
extra burden should be put on the
Georgia farmers for it. Georgia
farmers should be careful not to be
misled by measures which will fail
to bring them the real marketing re-
lief which they need and must have.
1t would take a volume to answer
the question as to what the State
Bureau of Markets is doing and can
do for Georgia consumers and Geor-
gia producers. Sometimes a single
little incident tells almost the whole
story. The other day South Geor-
gia farmer who wanted 10000 sweet
potato slips, happened to be in At
lanta, and called on Director L. B.
Jackson. He made known his wants
and immediate hold was taken Of
the matter Another South Georgia
farmer was found who had 10000
potato slips he wanted to sell The
two were brought together and both
profited by it. The same thing can
be done with practically every Geor-
gia product.

COMMISSIONER AND ENGIN-
 FER GO TO WASHINGTON

Little Rock, March 14.-To consult with the Bureau qf Highways and the secretary of the interior, relative to what Arkansas road districts must do to secure federal aid, Highway Com missioner W. B. Owen and Hugh Car ter, engineer of the department, leave for Washington Wednesday evening. They will arrive in the national capi- tol Friday, and remain several days in conference with the officials.
 Arkansas, by the act of the recent legislature, has met all requirements to secure federal aid, but the details have not been given out, and it is ne- cessary to consult the government officials further before the state au- thorities know how to proceed.
 "All Arkansas is anxious to secure a portion of the federal funr," stated Commissioner Owen Tuesday after noon, "and I expect that fully 30 vicinities, which want to organize dis tricts, have written me in the past week"

ALCOHOL CANNOT BE
 ORDERED TOO REGULARLY

Little Rock, March 14-It may be possible to order bit of alcohol, and mark it for medical or mechanical pur- poses, but it is not safe plan to fol- low with any regularity Attorney General Arbuckle has notified prose- cutting attorneys that it is up to the consignee in the first place, if there is any doubt about the shipment being for medicinal purposes, to show that it is intended for such. Then, the attorney general states, the enforce ment officers are supposed to have common sense, and if person is re- ceiving more alcohol than his physical condition indicates that he requires, it would appear as though the alcohol might be used as a beverage, and an arrest should follow.
 Attorney General Arbuckle has been deluged with inquiries about the "drier than bone" bill, but he is un- able to give official information con corning it, inasmuch as the bill did not become an act. For that reason he has expressed the wish that re- quests for copies of the law cease to burden his mail.

why the TEACHERS LOST OUT.

The teachers lost out on the
Shortess annuity bill by a narrow
margin Of two votes in the house.
Taking the present house into consid-
Grafton the teachers did very well to
come that close TO victory. II is pos
sible that the bill may be given recon-
sideration. If so, it may Yet be passed.
The sex of the teachers was a
handicap. They are practically all
ONE They have no vote. II the
army of Iowa teachers held that eff
fective big stick II their hands the
lacking votes would have been easy to
acquire. But they didn't. If they had
been a druggists or merchants asso-
citation or a taxpayers league no doubt
they would have received much closer
attention and consideration.
The teachers are unorganized except
as organization looks toward better
work. They are morgan
as concerns pay and legislation
upon the pay check. Perhaps
they might learn wisdom from the
100000 tra!nmen who get what they
want when they want it.

they would give hin a box of candy II
he would leave Billy Bunny with them
for a playfellow. And another mer-
maid laid she wished she didn't have
a tail any bigger than Billy Bunny's.
Which made the Whale laugh so loud
that he split the coral Island right in
two, and one of the mernlaids fell INTO
the water and got all wet. Then n
tickled the Whale until he cried. and X
Billy Bunny hadn't asked her to stop
l don't know what would have hap
pened.
Then the three mermaids took Billy
Bunny into their Coral Castle n
showed him lots and lots Of lovely
shells. One they CAV him was just
like q whistle. and when you blew on
IL IL made a lovely sound.
BY and by the Whale got tired OF
waiting and called out, "All aboard"
Good -by.." cried Billy Bunny. and he
hoped on just In time, for the Whale
