be but another step in the direction
which you have lead he country to
demonstrate not only III power but
our purpose to Immediately command
every esource to insure complete vic
tory.
Il am %presuming to express my
opinion on this point because the
passage of such a bill must inevita-
bly, have a very marked effect or the
personnel now within the %organiZa-
ton of the American Red Cross. as
well as those whose service must be
secured to carry on the work. You,
of course, appreciate that men vol
unteers now serving us throughout
the United States and Europe are of
such a type that most Of them would
wish Immediately to volunteer rather
than want to be drafted.
"At the time the war council was
formed we adopted the principle that
we would not accept for service
abroad men within the draft age, as
we did not wish to be in any degree
open to the charge of being a shelter
pit
owing to the ~increaser demand
for personnel and our difficulty in Sc
curing it, we modified about two
months ago our ruling, accepting men
with obvious disability in class sc
as we were informed this might reas-
onably be regarded as exempt from
military liability.
LAS the proposed law would probab-
ly cover so per cen of our male per-
sonnet we would, | fear, Immediately
upon its enactment, find men resign
ing, so that our problem of securing
additional personnel now called for in
would not only be greater but, indeed,
the problem of maintaining our pres
ent organization would become a seri-
Gus one.
Il am sure you know that | would
ask for nothing except your consider
alton Of the steps which would en-
able us to continue our work of i'm
portance of which | believe is estab-
lished, and you have given me reas-
on to know Of your W appreciation
Of its value.
Whatever the solution of the prob
lem may be, | am sure that | am tx
pressing the sentiment of the entire
organization when | say that no one
could or would ask for exemption from
military service on the ground of his
work for the Red Cross"

Cleveland, Ohio, Aug. II, 1915
Dear Sister and All: Gee! I'm sorry
I've not written you before but you
know | left Mineola (Hazelhurst) in
such a hurry that | hardly had time
to roll my bunk. We are travelling
all over the United States and having
a great time, perhaps you've seen
the account of it in some Of the pa
pers. The eastern papers are ali full
of it.
We arrived in Cleveland yesterday
from Columbus. and tomorrow we 20
to Toledo, from there to indianapolis.
Ind, then Detroit and then start north
for Kansas City, Omaha, ST. Paul and
Minneapolis. Gee! it sure is a great
trip and we're sr~e having a wonder
full time. We're always entertained
at the different clubs at whatever
cities we're in, and then dances etc.
a%fterward. Tonight is the first night
I've been away at as early an hour
as eleven since we left two weeks
ago, and this was on account of its
being Sunday night. and they couldn't
very we'll have any dancing. 1t usual
ly is two and three o'clock when we
get to bed and one night we only
had IN hour and a half sleep. Really
| was glad to get off this early to-
night so | could write a couple of let
ters and still get to bed about one
o'clock.
Did o get the hat cord | sent
you? We've had very good luck so
far with the exception of Cincinnati,
an English captain by the name of
Morris, was killed in a fall before sew
eral thousand spectators. He had 20
German planes to his credit, but had
been wounded several times so the
English government let him in on this
trip and figured it would be a good
chance for him to rest up a little.
He vas up alone at the time and eth.
er tainted or something went wrong
with the plane. No one will ever
know, as the plane was quite badly
wrecked. Well must close for now,
and will try to write again soon.
AS ever, Lloyd.

O. j. Sundet has received an inter
esting letter from his son, Phillip,
who is at Camp Custer, Battle Creek,
Mich, and we give it for the perusal
of our readers:
Camp Custer, Mich. Aug. 81, 1915
Dear Dad: Having a few spare min
utes will answer your letter, also re-
ceived the Brookings Register, which
l thank you very much for sending.
To read the Register again is about
like having an old friend, hard to
get along without"
We haven't been drilling any this
morning, been too busy getting the
new fellows that are coming in locat-
ed. Other days we drill from 8 to
1870 a. m, mess at IL, then drill
from / to 4 p. m. Then we take a
bath and clean up for mess at $3.50,
and retreat at 500. Then we are
free till taps which are at 10 o'clock
when the lights go out. But we can
stay out till IL if we wish. There are
services every Sunday morning in
the "Y" and they generally are we'll
attended.
Saturday afternoon and Sunday we
have to ourself. We generally have
a ball game or some other sport game
to pass away the time. We organized
a team last Saturday. Some Of the
fellows have played on league teams,
so I think W. will have a pretty strong
team. | have been doing the pitching
Last Sunday we played a fast game,
shut out the And Regiment while we
made Is runs. We practice every
Wednesday afternoon.
We are still under quarantine, and
can't leave the barracks unless in
squad formation. About the first place
am going after we get out is to
the lake to take a swim. It's only
about a mile down to it--a very beau
tiful little lake.
Our eats are good and plentiful;
cool water to drink, a good soft cot
to- sleep on. so you see we are treat
ed fine. AS soon as pay day comes
will have my picture taken and send
you one We have been moved so
much that's why we haven't been
paid yet. But expect to get paid
the first part of September.
1he funniest thing about army life
is, that, you don't know where you

GORDON B. GANN

Here is one of our young lawyers
headed for the legislature.
Gordon Gam is probably toe well
and favorably known for US to add
anything to his prestige. He is very
popular with both the town and coun-
try people of Cobb county, and while
he has much of the conservatism of
his father, Judge J. M. Gam, he is
of the progressive type of the young
er generation.
Our personal knowledge of the man
and his character is intimate enough
for us to give him our unqualified
endorsement, and we feel sure the
voters of Cobb will justify our es-
TEEN of him on election day, Septem-
ber 18th.
He is alive to all the interests of
the county and it's people and will
be heard from higher up.
The Marietta journal and courier., 1918-08-16
w. J. HEADDEN

1t seems to be the general Impress
ion that one of Cobb's representa-
tives should be a farmer, and Mr..
w. ]. Headden is both a successful
farmer, and a candidate for the leg
islature.
He is well known in Cobb county
where he has farmed for more than
twenty years, and has served on the
board of County Commissioners for
nine years.
His regularity and tenacity of pur-
pose is perhaps best illustrated by the
fact that he has not missed meeting
of the board, either called or regular,
during the whole period.
AS young man. he was druggist,
but he liked tanning better, and pre-
sents his experience and qualifica-
tions for your support in this race.

SOLICITOR SALARY BILL
PASSES STATE SENATE

In it's closing hours the Senate
passed the bill recently passed by the
house which provides that the solicit
or of the Blue Ridge Circuit shall be
paid q salary of $3,5OO, which shall
be prorated against the counties in
the circuit on basis of population.
Some two weeks ago we called at
tention to this bill giving reasons why
we considered it unconstitutional.
We quoted the prohibition of coun-
ties levying a tax for such purpose
and the provision that salary shall
not be changed during the term OF
an incumbent.
1t remains to be seen what will be-
come of the law since it has been en-
acted.

J. ]. THOMAS

Joe Thomas is a countryman whom
we have naturalized in Marietta
but we like him better because in
spite of our naturalization, he is a
countryman still.
He has been faithful in the dis
charge of his duties as the commits
sioner from the Marietta District,
and it was largely through his instru-
mentality that a cooperative ar
rangement was brought about, where
by some much needed work was done
on city streets, etc., in return for
free light and water privilege for
the county.
He recently had the unanimous en-
dorsement of our city council for re-
election, and we think he deserves the
support of both town and country
voters. Without any disparagement
of any other candidate we predict
his overwhelming election.

BOYS 21 BY AUGUST "a
TOBE REGISTERED THEN

Orders have been issued for new
registration on August oath.
All boys who become 21 years of
age after June 5th, 1918, and on or
before August oath, 1918, will be re-
quired to register on August oath.
Marietta will be the only place of
registration for Cobb County and the
place the Same as before, the Post
Office building between Z a. m. and
8 p. pm.
This must not be confused with a
registration which is expected some
time in September covering younger
and older ages than heretofore.
The law for that has not yet been
passed but it is expected to go
through at an early date and to
cover all ages from 18 to As with
some conditions.

THE FOURTH LIBERTY LOAN

The campaign fer the Fourth Lib
erty Loan will begin September 28th
and close October 10. The result of
the loan will be watched with keen
interest in Europe, not only by our
associates in the war against the Teu-
toAic powers but by our enemies. 1t
will be regarded by them as mea-
sure of the American peoples sup
port of the war.
The Germans know full weH the
tremendous weight and significance
of popular support of the war, of the
people at home backing up the Army
in the field. AS the loan succeeds
our enemies will sorrow; as it falls
short they will rejoice. Every dollar
subscribed will help and encourage
the American soldiers and hurt and
aepress the enemies of America.
The loan will be a test of the 10y
atty and willingness of the people of
the United States to make sacrifices
compared with the willingness of our
soldiers to do their part. There must
be and will be no failure by the peo-
pie to measure up to the courage and
devotion of our men in Europe. Many
Of them have given up their lives
shall we at home Withhold our money?
Shall we spare our dollars while they
spare not their very lives?

BOSTON FOR SENATOR

AS soon as it was learned chat the
new districting of Cobb county with
Cherokee and Douglas, would entitie
Cobb to the next senator for the 39th
District, many people from Marietta,
and all over the county, began to
urge Hon. John H. Boston to an
nounce for the place.
We have heard it on every corner
"John Boston is the man for the
place."
Mr.. Boston enlisted on the first
call for volunteers for the Spanish
American War, served throughout
the war and was nearly three years
in the Philippines, and came home a
Captain.
When war was declared against
Germany he again volunteered but
was barred by the age limit, but he
is still trying to get in.
He is a splendid attorney, and has
hundreds of friends who believe he
will be easily elected, if he will al
low the use of his name.

Bill Harris tells about his brothers
N the war All high ranking officers.
He is very proud of the 20 year old
officer. Yes, yes, yes. They aresall
officers. If there were any more liz
tGe "Harrises" of the Ranlac famil7
they would all be officers. High e.
nough in rank to sit far enough back
of the line in 3France to not get killed.
'EMost likely coed portion would
fight among that official crews in
Washington. 1t is said some of them
have spurs on to keep their feet fren
slipping off the tables. Please wire
me if any of Bill's brothers show up
in the casualty list. Bin Harris had
pull enough to get the boy in as a
high officer. These are the kind of
officers that will possibly lead some
sof your "buck private sons" into a
Geman trap or rather order them to
go in while they sit in the rear.-The

NEW SENATORIAL DISTRICTS

One of the changes effected by the
last legislature was the rsdistricting
of the senatorial districts.
Additional districts were created
and many changes made in the old
ones, Cobb Cherokee and Douglas be-
ing placed together.
This should give Cobb county the
senator for the coming term, as Cher
kee has the seator at present and
Douglas is to follow Cobb.

friends all say that he will just leave
a "blue streak" behind him in this
race.
The doctor is popular and well
known throughout the district whose
voters will pass upon the vacancy,

Headden, who is in the Legislative
race.

they do not need regular doctor,
but just ''hoss sense" of which he
has a plenty.
