PROSPECTS GOOD FOR
GOVERNMENT ROAD

Notwithstanding the delays and
the seeming indifference and the part
of the War Department in the matter
of road to Camp Gordon there are
signs that it will be built all right.
The building of a large bathing
pool at the camp here and orders to
wire the camp for electric lights tend
to make more certain the camp will
be permanent, and this week the au-
thorities at Washington wired the En-
gineer at Camp Gordon to hasten his
estimates on the cost of the road.
1t is certain that no other place is
available for an artillery range at
this time near Camp Gordon, which
is to be one of the largest of the can
tonments in the country, so the pros
poets are still good for the road.

CHURCH ST. PAVING
PASSES CITY COUNCIL

At meeting of the city council on
Wednesday night, the Church Street
paving ordinance was unanimously
passed.
This has been under consideration
for some time, and has had more or
less opposition at some meetings held
for the purpose of discussion, but a
report made to the council on some
legal aspects of the case by the city
attorney on Wednesday evenin, clear
ed the way for definite action, and
on a vote in council the ordinance
was unanimously passed.
When this and the Atlanta street
paving is finished, we will have two
miles of paved highway through our
town, which will be a credit to US,
and a standing advertisement to the
thousands of tourists who annually
pass through Marietta.
We hope no further opposition will
develop to the early beginning and
rapid completion of the work.

PLENTY FLOUR NOW
IN COBB COUNTY
FOR G MONTHS
Reports Show There Is In
Sight About A Barrel
To Each Family.

Almost 1000 families reported to
me the amount of flour on hand and
the work of tabulating these reports
and summing them up has taken no
little work. Reports vary in amount
from "enough for breakfast tomor-
row. to "20 48-lb. sacks" The aver
age of the large number of reports
is approximately barrel per family
already in the homes of people with
$500 barrels in the stores of the
county.
This indicates to me that Cobb
county people use good judgment IN
LAYING in supplies in winter for crop
season: that Cobb county people are
good livers." that we may live for
some time without shipping more
flour from the mills to Georgia: that
our people are patriotic and wiling
always to give facts about the true
condition of things and that we are
better off on the bread question than
many people thought we were.
The object of the government IN
asking for the report was to obtain
first-hand information about the real
condition so as to know how much
flour might be shipped direct to the
soldiers without meatrially hurting
home people.
There are, perhaps, 5000 families
in Cobb county. Mony of these made
no reports from the fact that they
had less than thirty days supply: that
thew knew nothing of the required
report: and possibly few from IN
difference or lack Of interest. Peo-
nle are everywhere urged to live on
the rouired 6 lbs. per month per IN
dividuaI, that the flour on hand may
last till the harvest of the new crop.
Merchants are cautioned to sell
onIv lbs. sugar to the lndlvlduai
in towns and 10 lbs. to those IN
country districts. DR.. Soule will pro
mulgate regulations within a lew
dav bv which those who wish to can
frnits and vegetables may get sugar
for this purpose.

DEATH OF MOTHER
CALLS SON HOME

Rev. Frank E. jenkins, who has
been conducting a series of revival
services at the Methodist Church, was
recalled to his home in Powder
Springs on Tuesday, by the sudden
death of his mother, who was visiting
there.
Mrs. Jenkins home was in Shiloh
near Columbus, and the body was
carried there for burial.
She was christian woman, and
indeed a mother in Israel having
given six sons to the ministry.
Few women have been so blessed
as to be able to make such an offer
ing to the service of the Lord, and
it is but the enjoyment of her re-
ward to which she has now been call

and by the help of the country chair
men it is hoped to reach every man
in Cobb county. The men who are
thus giving their time and labor to
this work are actuated by no other
than patriotic motives. They are do
ing it all free, and are not begging,
either for themselves or our govern
ment. You are not doing your duty

MEETING PRO TESTS
PRICE FIXING
ON COTTON
No Less Than 30 Cents Ask
ed If Prices Are to Be
Fixed BY Congress

A mass meeting of representative
citizens of the county was held in
the Court House last Saturday, and
organized by electing Mr.. John l..
Butner, of Powder Springs, as chair
man, and John p. Cheney, of Mari
eta, as Secretary.
The subject of the meeting was to
discuss Legislation now pending IN
Congress seeking to fix the price of
cotton, and Mr.. A. +. Reese, repre-
senting the Cotton States Advisory
Marketing Board was present and eX-
planned how the Bills now pending
were likely to affect the people of
the cotton growing states.
Others discussing the proposed
Legislation were Messrs. Jas. I. An
derson, j. NJ Fowler, John P. Che
ney, T. w. Read, John l.. Butner, and
j. A. Benson. The resolutions at
tached were unanimously adopted re-
questing that, if the price of cotton
is fixed, it be fixed at not less than
80 cents per pound
A committee consisting of Messrs.
Jas. T.. Anderson. r. A. Hill, I. w.
Read, John L. Butner, w. p. Jiles
and others were appointed to go be-
fore the County Commissioners at
their next meeting to ask that they
make an appropriation of $4,000
similar to appropriations now being
made by other counties in the State,
for the support and maintenance of
the Marketing Board. The Board
now maintains an Office in Washing
ton with a highly competent head
in charge whose duty it is to see that
we get justice in the proposed legis-
lation.
Marietta, Ca, April Goth, 1918.
At a meeting of citizens of Cobb
Count, held this date, the following
resolutions were unanimously adopt
ed.
We hereby enter our protest a
ganst the Ayers Bill now pending
in Congress. If the object of the
Bill is to encourage the production
of food, we submit that no mere i'm
portant food and feed crop is grown
than that derived from the seed of
cotton.
(2)
The present price of cotton is only
on a parity, as heretofore, with that
of wheat, meat, iron, etc.
(3)
To set a price on cotton and not
fix the price of meat, mules, corn,
labor, machinery, farm implements,
ETC., would be grossly unfair to the
cotton farmers.
(4)
If the price of cotton is fixed at
all we respectfully urge that mini
mum price of 80 cents per pound,
and not less, shall be fixed.
Is
We urge upon the consideration of
Congress the fact that good price
for cotton enables our farmers to
devote a greater acreage to food
crops.
C
We endorse the organization OF the
Cotton States Marketing Board.
Ct
We request the Board of Commits
sioners of Cobb County to appropri-
ate $4,000 for the support of said
Cotton States Marketing Board so
that it's work for our interests may
continue.
We hereby certify that the fore
going resolutions were unanimously
adopted and that the meeting was
representative one of the business in
terests of the County.

JOHN P. CHENEY, Secretary.
