A BLOCKADE STILL IS
CAPTURED BY THE
REVENUE MEN
Deputy Hicks and Revenue
Men Bring In Copper
Still Tuesday.

On Tuesday afternoon Deputy
George Hicks accompanied by two
U. S. Deputy Collectors from Attain
ia office, made raid down in the
Howell district of Cobb County and
captured 35 gallon still.
When the officers arrived the still
was not being operated, but search
of the neighborhood disclosed a lot
of the new products in the hands of
one Charlie Smith, colored who con-
fessed that he was the owner of the
still.
He said he had been operating for
some time and that he found mar
ket at $40 per gallon for his whiskey
through parties along the river and
near the county line of Douglas.
He was brought to Marietta and
placed in Jail, and the still was de-
stroyed as provided by law.
The high prices being paid in some
instances for blockade whiskey is a
great temptation to many people to
make it but we believe that compare
lively few are so engaged, and wheen
they are captured they lose it all.

BANKHEAD AND
DIXIE. HIGHWAYS
Resolution Passed By Board Calls
For Top Soil On These Roads
r AS Soon as Practicable.

A delegation from Powder Springs
headed by DR.. J. D. Middlebrooks, ap-
peared before the Board of Commls-
sioners on Monday asking that they
top soil the roads in the county, from
the river at the Mason and Turner
bridge, to Acworth on the north, and
to the Paulding county line on the
west.
This is the western branch OF the
Dixie Highway, with the Bankhead
Highway turning West out OF 1t at
a point between Middleton and Pow
der Springs.
1t appears that on two previous
occasion the Board has passed reso-
luton that this work be done as soon
as practicable.
The matter was deferred for the
time, but just before the adjourn
ment of the Board on Tuesday after
noon it was again brought up and
again the FeSOIuGlOn was PN@SN' -
was also resolution that all the
roads in the county be dragged as
soon as it is possible to have the work
done.
There was some discussion as to
whether the top soiling could be car
ried on at the same time that the
War Department may be using
large part of the county force and
machinery on the Camp Gordon pro-
ject, but it was voted that the best
possible effort be made to do so.
Government aid was hoped for by
those interested in the Bankhead and
Dixie Highway roads, but n y
seemed to conclude that the carrying
out of the camp Gordon, plan, would
bar any effort they might now make
to secure aid for these roads.
To US it seems more than probable
that the government will yet be IN
terested in the establishment of a
highway between Atlanta and An
niston and Birmingham by this
route.

MARIETTA GETS THE
7TH DISTRICT HIGH
SCHOOL MEET
Will Entertain Coming Men
and Women of the Dis
trict on April 1918
Editor Marietta journal !:

Editor Marietta Journal:
Please allow me space in your pa
per to remind our people of the meet
ing of the Seventh District High
School Association to be held here
April 18th and 18th.
Most of the high schools in the
district will send representatives each
school being allowed thirteen. These,
together with the judges, superin-
tendents, principals, and teachers,
will total about one hundred and
eighty or two hundred.
We do not doubt that our people
will respond generously and cordially
to the request of the committee now
being appointed, mostly from the la
dies of the Civic League, to enter
tain these visitors. The various ex-
ercises of the association will cover
only one day-from Friday noon UNI
til Saturday noon; so the burden of
hospitality will not be great.
This district has more first class
high schools than any other in the
state, and our town will be flooded
with lot of enthusiastic young peo-
pie whom we wish to make happy
while they are here and send away
with pleasant impressions of Mari
eta. To secure this result there
must be full cooperation between our
citizens and the schools. A recep-
ton will be given our visitors and
owners of automobiles will be re-
quested to offer the use of their cars
for short time.
Our high school pupils are busy
preparing their parts and are looking
forward to the meeting with much
pleasure.

DRAINAGE LAW PLAN
IS PROPOSED FOR
ROAD SYSTEM
A Plan So Each District Can
Either "Put Up" or "Shut
Up" About Roads.

We reproduce below letter from
Judge Morris, which appeared in Sum
days Atlanta Journal.
This letter outlines a constructive
policy for road building, or rather
for road financing, which is the first
step.
1t is based on the same principles
as the drainage law, with which the
Judge has had experience, and we
commend it's careful consideration by
all our people.
In order to become of use the
legislature would have to enact the
law, but if the system works as well
as we believe it will, we feel that
the legislature will give it proper con-
sideration.
Read the Judges letter and think
of the various phases of the matter,
and if you approve it, talk about it to
others and to your legislators.

COBB COUNTY COURT
CONVENES MONDAY
IN MARIETTA
Dr. Jones Speaks at Court
House on Monday-Big
Rally Tuesday Night

The regular March Cobb County
superior Court will begin it's term
on Monday morning. We published
a list of jurors at the time of draw
ing several weeks ago, and the calen-
dar in our issue of February 22nd.
The Calendar contains quite num-
her of cases which are of more than
usual interest, and large number
fro mall over the county are expected
to be here.
One matter of interest on Monday
will be an address by DR.. Ashby M.
Jones, on the war. Judge Morris has
consented to recess court to have
this speaking and music will be
furnished by the band from the Ar
tilIery camp on this occasion.
DR.. Jones is an earnest and elo-
ouent speaker, and if you are inter-
ested in any phase of the war, come
and hear him tell of that front over
there where so many of our boys are
going.
On Tuesday night the court house
will be the scene of a thrift stamp
meeting, and "real live" French Of
ficer will be one of the speakers.
1t goes without saying that a
French uniform is an unusual sight
1--WE whisper it to some of the old
folks, it is Confederate Grey, trim
med in red) in Cobb county, and to
hear one in that uniform from the
trenches in France should be enough
to bring you out.
AS between these meetings and the
regular business of the court, next
week will furnish plenty of interest
in Marietta.
Our boys have begun their fighting
on the front in France, and the daily
casualty list is growing.
Soon the names of some of those
close to US must appear in the lists.
Attend these meetings and let US be
ready to do everything possible in
support of our boys.

A MOST IMPORTANT
LABOR NOW IS THE
RED CROSS
This Work Must Grow AS
The War Goes On and
Casualty L;"'c Grow
Red Cross and Government.

The following editorial in the Sat-
urday Evening Post of March End,
will answer some of the queries put
to Red Cross workers as to why the
Government does not do the things
that the Red Cross is called upon to
do for our soldiers.
"Why doesn't the Government do
it," is the question you sometimes
hear concerning the work of the
American Red Cross.
The answer is: Because the Red
Cross can do it much better than the
Government could"
1t can do it more cheaply. A large
part of the personal services for the
Red Cross are performed by unpaid
volunteers. Chairman Dawson re-
Gently declared that ten million peo-
Pile were working for the Red Cross
without pay.
The Red Cross is much more flex-
IDLE agency than the Government can
be. 1t had no real organization in
Italy when the Italian armies were
suddenly dislodged and driven back
to the Pave last fall. Some thous-
and of families in the evacuated ter
ritories fled from their homes. A
hurried summons brought the Eu-
ropean chief to the American Red
Cross to the scene with aids. Imme-
ditely the Red Cross was picking up
children who had been SEPARATED from
their mothers, getting helpless fami-
lies under shelter, providing food.
Three million dollars was spent to
meet that unforeseen need.
The Red Cross can work in a way
that would be fairly impossible for
government For example, every
officer and agent of the French Gov
eminent will gladly assist the Red
Cross to find and help a mutilated
French soldier or a destitute French
family. The French Government
might have qualms about accepting
charity from the American Govern
ment, No questions of national pride
or politics comes up when the Red
Cross is concerned. Every where it
is received without reservation as a
friend.
The American public subscribed a
million dollars to the Red Cross last
summer. Our Government might east
ly have appropriated that sum for the
work. 1t would have been lost in the
mass of war appropriations and
meant nothing in particular to any
body 1t would have been so much
impersonal cold-storage money. AS
one-half Of one per cent of the Gov
ernment's total war appropriations
it would look meager and lifeless.
Freely subscribed by the people the
money is warm with human sympa-
thy. France, Italy, Poland, see it not
as bookkeeping entry made by a
machine called Government of the
United States but as the generosity
of fellow creatures. 1t palpaly means
that to US also. The Red Cross can
do it much better than the Govern
ment could"

Editor The Journal:
The building of permanent roads
is live question in the minds of a
great majority of the people in this
state. / believe public sentiment has
at last crystalized around this propo-
sition in favor of the building of such
roads if feasible plan can be pres
ented AS the great bulk of our
state is composed of rural counties
with limited tax value the serious
question is, how can these rural
counties build permanent highways?
1t cannot be done by direct taxation
under the limitation of tax assess
ments for road purposes fixed by
law. AS a general rule, efforts to
float bonds for this purpose has been
a failure for the reason that there
is always opposition among the vot
ers growing out of the fact that the
permanent roads will not be built
adjacent to property owned by them.
l have in mind plan that l believe
to be the solution of the question.
l ask that you publish it for the con-
sideration of your readers and the
law-making body of Georgia.
A state law should be enacted based
on the general principles of the drain
age laws of this state enacted in
1911, pages 108 to ia, Inclusive.
This law has been held constitutional
by the supreme court and many
drainage districts have been estab-
lished and are now being established
under the same for the reclaiming of
marshy and overlooked lands. Fol
lowing this general plan a law should
be enacted authorizing the establish
ing of permanent road districts pro-
viding that the majority of the prop
erty owners, or the people owning
a majority of the land affected, may
petition the county commissioners,
or ordinary if there are no county
commissioners, for the establishment
of a permanent road district from
any given point to any other point
within or without the county. The
district should embrace all the lands
for one mile on each side Of the road
to be permanently improved. When
this is done and the district estab-
Iished three viewers should be elect
ed to classify all the lands within
the district with reference to the
benefit it will receive from the con-
struction of the permanent road i'm
provement. Provision should be made
that the land receiving the highest
benefit shall be parked in class A.
The next highest in class B, and so
on to class E. In connection with
this classification the property should
be assessed by the viewer as to its
value. When this is completed it
should be ascertained as near as prac-
teal the cost of the construction of
the permanent highway and then an
assessment made as against all the
property in the road district accord
ing to it's classification sufficient to
raise the necessary fund to build the
road. Provision should be made, as
is provided in the drainage law, that
the land owners shall have the right
to pay their respective assessments
within a given time and if this is
not done bonds should be issued a
gainst the land of all that did not pay
to beretiredin ten annualinstallments

DIR. sAWYER's NOTES.

In going over the county see
some farmers burning corn stalks.
Let me beg you to stop this. Cut
them up with stalk cutter and plow
them under, for each ton of these
stalks contain six dollars worth of
nitrogen alone. Do not destroy that
which your soil so much needs.

and pig clubs, and premiums for these
will soon be announced. w L.

shires from Tennessee, John Poor

from Missouri The Durocs from
Townsville, Georgia, all are regis
tered, and these with the two Du-
rocs owned by Horace Clay, and

Note this. If people would put
some salt where cows could get it
all the time, and would feed some
variety of food such as wheat bran,
beet pulp, pea and alfalfa hay, and
not feed so much cotton seed meal
and hulls, the county agent would
have more time to do other things
than doctor cows.
Where your cow gets "off her
feed" give her pound of Epsum
salts and change her feed.
