DON'T DO IT." SAYS
MAYOR JIM BRUMBY

Last Christmas we had in Marietta
a sort of "open house" for slot mach
ines, punching boards, throwing dice,
matching and various games of
chance.
Everybody was doing it, apparently
and we heard no complaint at the
time. The town was full of soldiers,
and it seemed a natural part of the
holiday festivities. Even young boys
participated.
We are glad to announce, however,
that none of this will be permitted
this year. Mayor Brumby has asked
US to say that the laws against all
these things are plain, and they will
be rigidly enforced, and he trusts that
none of our shops will make it neces-
sary to apply the law to stop such
trade schemes.
Of course it is understood that no
harm or wrong is intended, but aside
from the laws on the subject, it is
setting very bad example to the
young people of our town and it is
Just as easy to steer clear of the
whole wretched business.

YOUNG MAN INJURED IN
AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT
Jack Lacy, of Kennesaw, Seriously
Injured; Several Other People
Hurt In Car Wreck

On Saturday evening at five o'clock
a serious and nearly fatal accident &C.
cured on Atlanta Street just in front
on Delk's Garage.
One of the Georgia Railway and
Power Company's big trucks, driven
by Sherman Keheely, was coming
northward, when it met Jack Powell,
colored, driving q delivery wagon of
John Dobbins', going south.
On the right of Powell's wagon,
was standing against the curb, a car
of a Mr.. Everett, of Atlanta, and in
the rear of this car stood Mr.. Everett,
and Jack Lacy, of Kennesaw, engag-
ed in fastening on an extra tire be-
hind the car.
The heavy truck fender caught the
rear wheel of the delivery wagon,
tearing the rear wheels and body
away from the front part, causing it
to strike the car of Mr.. Everett with
force, and catching young Lacy,
throwing him beneath the truck as it
swerved to the left into the side
street, before it could be stopped,
and all the while dragging the rear
wheels and body of the delivery Wag-
on with it.
Mr.. Everett was knocked down by
the impact, but not seriously injur-
ed; young lady sitting in his car was
severely jostled; the negro, Powell,
was thrown to the street, but kept
hold of his lines and was unhurt;
the little boy of Mr. Dobbins, who
was riding in the wagon, was found
on top of the hood of the truck, but
slightly bruised up, while young Lacy
was found beneath the wreekage IN
serious condition.
He was placed in the truck and
rushed to DR.. Nolan's Sanitarium, and
his injuries given attention, and at
this time is improving, and he is be-
heved to have escaped with no more
serious injury that the fracture OF
one or more ribs.
The usual ordinations were heard
with regard to the blame for the &C
cident, such as mo lights" "too much
speed" and mot giving right-of-way"
but we are not prepared to speak as
to these things.
We do know, however, that there
is much reckless driving on Atlanta
Street, and sooner or later, fatal
ties will occur there, if steps are not
taken to control the speed artists in
some way.
Young Lacy had narrow escape
with his life in this instance, and to
say the least of it, he was only an
"innocent bystander," and to blame
in no way for the accident.

The young men who are in the
various college camps constitute

son of the aid given by the Govern
ment in the way of uniforms and
private's pay, and when they are mus
tered out many will not return to
college.
The orders anticipate beginning
this muster out on December 4th, to
be completed by December 21st, all
being released from the service be-

whether any will leave the schools
when mustered out
This order is in keeping with the
policy of the government to release
men as fast as possible.

Ignorance Is Not Bliss, Nor
Is 1t Folly to Be Wise;
Unusual Gathering at The
Strand Wednesday
ILLUSTRATED BY MOVIES
Large Number of Young Men Listen
Intently for an Hour to Lecture
BY Jas. P. Faulkner, of the State
Board of Health

The experience of the Government
with men who were sent to camps
supposedly in good health, but who
proved to be infected with venereal
or tubercular diseases, has caused
both the state and national govern
ments to awake to the great danger
confronting the health and morals of
our country.
Since the first men were sent to
the camps, the government has been
giving them rigid examinations, and
also teaching them to safeguard the
body and keep it fit.
1t is now realized that just as i'm
portant that our soldiers should be
kept clean and fit so should our farm
ers and men of all walks of life have
the advantage of the same teaching
to make and keep them fit for life.
Some five million of our young men
have already been reached by the
camp training, and now since no more
are to be sent to camp, our govern
ment thinks it only fair that those
who were not called should receive
this necessary hygienic teaching.
The very great numbers of men
who were rejected should open the
eyes of our people generally and
make them anxious to avail them
selves Of this opportunity.
With this end in view, when the
draft was discontinued the local
board was directed to call all men in
class one not in the service to meet
in Marietta on Wednesday morning
when a lecturer could address them.
Some $50 or 400 class one men in
Cobb County responded and with a
number of other men, they filed the
Strand Theater to overlooking, on
Wednesday morning, to listen to an
illustrated lecture by James P.
Faulkner, who is director Of the di-
vision of tuberculosis of the State
Board of Health.
The intense interest displayed by
the men in the subject, was indeed
remarkable, and that much good will
come of this movemnt, there can be
little doubt.
Mr. Faulkner is an earnest and an
interesting speaker and he stated
that he would make a tour of the
state in the interest ow the cause.
We would urge the newspapers of
all the sections so fortunate as to get
him, to see that he has every man
who can possibly get there, hear him.
Ignorance is not bliss, nor is it
folly to be wise.

FIVE NAMES ON LATEST
LIST FOR cobb COUNTY
While Fighting In Europe has Ceased,
Large Casualty Lists Are Just
Reaching Home Folks

Our casualty list for Cobb County
is larger than usual this week and if
the report of the total number of
casualties in Europe is corecrt, we
may yet expect some large lists.
The reports since our last issue
carry the following boys:
Harvey w. Stephens, of Roswell,
killed in action.
James F. Martin, of Powder
Springs, killed in action.
Henry w. G. Simpson, of Powder
Springs, died of disease.
Hoyt S. House, Roswell, died of
disease.
E. H. Kemp, of Acworth, wounded
seriously.
We have not the details of any of
these casualties yet, but later when
they are received we shall be glad to
publish them, giving full honor and
credit to all our heroes.
We know that where duty called
our boys were there, and we still fear
the complete reports may swell the
list of those killed and wounded,
while disease will continue to claim
a share of victims.
We wish our readers to know that
although we pass over these reports
with little comment, the history of
these boys is yet to be written.

REV. HANDY COMES
TO MARIETTA SUNDAY

Rev. W. T. Handy, who has been
pastor Of the First Methodist church
for two years, has been assigned to
Marietta First church. During these
two years he has been power for
good, not only in his own church and
among his own people, but for all
Carrollton. During his stay here he
has made and numbered friends by
the hundreds and our people are
Ioath to give him up. His own
church is much stronger today than
when he came because of his faithful,
untiring, never-ceasing work. He
never missed an opportunity to do
good. He has been faithful to his
trust, patriotic to the core and a
worker and leader in every public
enterprise for the upbuilding OF Car
roll county. We will miss him. The
church and the people in general
regret to lose him and his estima-
bic wife; but Carrollton's loss is Ma
rietta's gain.
Sincere wishes go with them into

our general presentments:
Taking cognizance of the fact that
SPECTATORS are reported to have
combined to force down the price OF

cotton is now selling far below it's
actual value, and in view of the fact
that the governors of all the cotton

per pound, we wish to add our en-
dorsement to this movement, and by
unanimous action we earnestly urge
the cotton growers Of this county to
unite in this movement and not sell
their cotton for less than the mini
mum price agreed upon.
Through committee, we have ex-
amined the dockets of all Justices
