A FALSE CHARGE
AND IT'S ANSWER

One of the dirtiest pieces of poll
tics that has gone the rounds in Cobb
county in many years is being fos-
tered against Mr.. ]. J. Thomas, coun-
ty Commissioner from the Marietta
district, by a few scheming politici-
ans in Marietta They are election
ering against him, and telling vari-
Gus people that Mr.. Thomas did a
large amount of work at the Golf
Club with convicts without any con-
sideration for the county in return.
The facts of the matter are as fol-
lows: The county board allowed seven
teams with the necessary help to do
grading ten days to assist in complet-
ing the reservoir on the Golf Club
grounds, which the city is to use for
fire protection. This reservoir will
hold about three million gallons of
water and is almost full at this time.
1t is the purpose of the city to con-
meet it's water main with this large
reservoir for fire protection for the
city for emergency use. By doing
this it will save the various property
owners, incuLding the court house
and other county property, about ten
thousand dollars fire insurance premi-
ums annually.
In return for this and other city
work, the city is to furnish for term
of three years free lights, water and
sewerage, for the county court house,
the county poor farm and the, county
convict camp. This will save the CO.
unity about six thousand dollars per
year in addition to the saving in re-
duction of insurance on it's public
buildings.
In making this trade the city Off
cialS did great service to the vari-
Gus tax payers by helping them to re-
duce their insurance, and by giving
them permanent streets, at the same
time, the furnishing of lights to the
various public buildings is not an ad-
ditional cost to the city for the reas-
on they were not using the maximum
amount of current that they have to
pay for under their contract with the
power company. The country peo-
pie in the district appreciate the fact
that an arrangement has been made
by which the public square and other
streets are permanently improved
it is beneficial to them as we'll as the
city. The entire transaction was for
the betterment of the property Of
people understand the real facts they
will approve the acts of both the city
officials and the board.
Mr.. Thomas has made a clean fair,
fearless and impartial commissioner,
and the people of Marietta and vici-
nifty will and should resent this out
rageous attack that is being made
upon him by few scheming politici-
ans, who are anxious to defeat him
at any cost, because they can't con-
troll him.
If the mean insinuations made
aginst him were true, not only the
Golf Club membership but the Mayor
and council, and the whole board of
commissioners would have to be cor
rupt.

ministration.

Fees collected for representing the
criminal cases in Court of Appeals
and Supreme Court, $375.00. Sal
ary paid by the state, 375.0O. In ad-
dition to this the certificates of the
Clerks show cash on hand undistri-
buted, and fines and forfeitures to be
distributed amounting to $3,380.30.
The Solicitor will get sixty per cent
of this sum making $2,028.00, which
will make his fees for the year and
half, $7,054.7S.
In addition to the above fees col
lected by the Solicitor General he
gets fee of $500 for each bond
issue validated in the entire circuit.
In all fines imposed Judge Morris
provides in his sentence for the pay
ing of the Justice Of the Peace and
Baliffs their commitments costs, also
for the paying of witnesses their fees,
also for the return to the county any
non resident witness fees paid by the
county, or Jail fees, or expense of ar
rest and return of the defendant to
the county, where there is an arrest
out side of the county. These sums
the Judge specially provides shall be
paid back to the county out of the
various fines. After all these sums
have been paid Mr.. Clay has collect
ed fines as above stated.
Many people will be surprised at
the foregoing facts, as there has been
an effort as we construe it, for po-
litical or other purposes, to circulate
rumor that Solicitor Clay was being
starved to death in the Solicitors
office.
We called attention in a recent ar
ticle in the Journal to the fact that
two legal obstacles were in the way
of the salary bill going into effect
January 1st, 1919. First, there was
no provision made for the collection
of the taxes in the various counties
| to pay the Solicitor General the sal
airy.
Second, that under the bill allow
ing the Solicitor General to be put
upon a salary, and under the consti-
tuition of the State, he cannot go on
a salary during his present term of
office. This question viii probably
be tested out in the courts.
Under the salary bill of the Solic-
itor General will fairly, impartially,
and faithfully, discharge his duty and
prosecuts the various criminals with
out favor or affection, in all proba-
bility it will give general satisfaction,
but there is great room for Solicit
or General to play politics under the
salary system. 1t will be possible for
him to protect his friends without any
financial loss on his part. If this is
done the salary system will be very
unpopular with the law abiding ele-
ment of the circuit.

Eat Corn: Grow Beautiful

HE statement that comes from Kansas
j. to the effect that corn is a beautifier
IS going to do more than anything else to
increase its consumption, For so great is
the demand for beauty mlady will con-
sumo anything that is to be obtained if it
promises to produce it. In this she is right,
for beauty is worth all it costs to obtain it,
But to get back to the subject 1t seems
that at beauty contest half dozen girls
who outranked all others admitted they
ate nothing but cornhrcad They stood
"1OO' for complexion and ''98" for shapeli-
ness. We can easily see wherein corr
bread might influence the complexion, but
we have never before heard that shapelj-
ness was a matter Of diet, further than as
shapelincss pertains to size. But we must
accept the verdict of the judgcs--and go
ahead advocating cornbrcad as a moulder
of form as we'll rs q producer Of COM

An Iron Foundry in the

q N interesting narration Of opera
~ tion under unique and difficult con-
ditions of an iron foundry in the
war area is given by the correspondent of a
British paper writing from the firing line
in France. He relates: One does not see
much foundry work out here, but few
weeks ago l was billeted in town nearby,
and actually saw cupola in full blast. |
at once got permission to have a look
around, and was greatly surprised at what
l saw. The foundry was very primitive
affair-Just a little jobbing shop-and was
mostly run by French women and girls,
superintended by a few men. These women
were making work up to three or four
hundred pounds in weight, and in a little
side shop some half dozen women were
making component parts Of machinery by
the simple method Of bedding-in. l after
ward saw some Of the finished work, and
it would put to shame the work done by
many of our so-called molders at home
The women work in ordinary dress, and
work very clean and exact in both iron
and brass, and also under shell fire and air
raids. In the shop was a great hole where
a German had dropped great bomb the
night before, but the women still worked

Concerning Oysters

\ S EARLY as so B. c. the fame Of the
British oyster had extended as far
as Rome, and Sallust seems to have been
more impressed by the oyster than by any
ether feature of the country, for he wrote:
"The poor Britons-there is some good in
them after all-they produce an oyster"
In so a. d. oysters were exported from
the Thames estuary to Rome. and ever
since that time England has had an oyster
industry Of respectable proportions, al
though for many years the supply has
been inadequate 10 fill London's gigantic
demands, and importations from the
United States, Holland and France have
been necessary.-San Francisco Argonaut
