THE STRAND AND
lIBE R TY
Marchman Sells Out But He
Will Manage New
Company

The Marietta Amusement Company
which was recently chartered, has
bought out the Strand and the Liber-
ty Theatres in Marietta.
The company completed its organ
ization on Saturday evening, electing
officers and directors, and assumed
charge of the above named theatres.
The officers elected are as follows
F. G. Marchman, President and Trea-
surer; Bolan G. Brumby, Vice Presi-
dent; Ralph W. Northcutt, Secretary.

Austin.
The capital stock is $4,000, with
power to increase to $4,000.
1t is announced that the Liberty
Theatre will remain closed for the
present, until conditions justify re-
opening it.
Two more large exhaust fans have
been put in the Strand Theatre, which
will insure a perfect ventilation. The
fans in operation now will change the
air completely in the whole building
every minute, thus providing boun-
tiful supply of fresh air all the time.
The Strand has always been one
of the best movies in the country,
showing the very highest class of pic
lures made, and showing them far
ahead of any other theatres, except
in the largest cities.
Under the management still OF
Mr.. Marchman, the names of the gen
tlemen now associated with him, fur
ther guarantee the continued success
and popularity of the Strand. 1t is

SOUTH GEORGIA CROPS
BOTH GOOD AND BAD

Atlanta, Ca, June 20th-"The boil
weevil is playing havoc in the cotton
fields of South Georgia" said Com
missioner of Agriculture, j. J, Brown,
who is just back from a several days
trip through several of the leading
AGRICULTURAL counties of that section.
81 saw several fields of cotton that
looked fine at first glance" Commits
sioner Brown continued, "but on ex-
animation it was seen the ground was
covered with fallen squares; and in
p1any places the farmers are plowiny
I'D their cotton in order to get their
land in time to make some other kind
of crop between now and frost.
"Any reports given out now about
the South's cotton crop, will be in
excess of the real acreage, for the
simple reason that many thousands of
acres are being destroyed by the boil
weevil, while thousands of others are
living idle for lack of labor to culti-
vate them.
"The bear speculator who bases his
hopes of getting cotton on bumper
crop, will be sadly disappointed; for
the South cannot and will not, under
present conditions, produce even a
normal crop of cotton"

HEROIC BOY LOSES LIFE IN
TRYING TO SAVE BROTHER.

One of the saddest deaths that has
ever occurred at Austell, was that of
little Carl Leffel Jr., the son of Mrs.
C. L. Couch, on last Thursday after
noon.
Leffel lost his life trying to save his
little brother of eight years old from
drowning in Sweetwater Creek, near
Ben Scot Springs.
This accident was almost the occa-
sion of three deaths. The mother
and grandmother of the boys, with
two girls, Misses Ollie and Inez Miller
had gone 20 pick berries. The young
folks stopped on the creek to watch
Ollie, who was swimming. She came
out and went to dress and they de-
cided to get mud to make models.
In some way Gussie slipped and fell
in and Leffel ran to his assistance,
but it was too much for him. Seeing
the danger they were in lnez called
for help and Ollie, who was half
dressed, ran to them, leaped in and
succeeded in reaching the little one
in time, he clasping her around the
neck as she swan out with him. her
sister helping her but before she could
return to Leffel again he had sunk
the last time.
Ollie herself was so exhausted, she
had to be assisted and came near los
ing her life, being hampered by her
wet clothing.
The funeral of Leffel was from the
Baptist Church on Thursday after
noon, the service being conducted by
Rev. Burrell of Powder Springs, as
sisted by Rev. j. E. Russell, of the
Methodist Church.
The little body was laid to rest in
Rose Hill Cemetery, by the side of
his father, who met his death about
eight years ago, while in the employ
of the Southern Bell Company.
Besides his mother, this little one
leaves five brothers, and anumber of
relatives, and many friends who will
miss him. Four of his little friends
Hugh Wade, Jamie Dell, John Cloud
and B. F Fleishman acted as the
pail bearers.

TOO MUCH LIQUOR
FOR A DRY STATE

On Monday Deputies George Hicks
and Dave Latimer had a grapevine
message that one Horace Rutherford,
young white farmer of the Post
Oak District above Sandy Plains, was
doing a blockade liquor business IN
the retail way.
They went up to investigate and,
being unfamiliar with the locality,
were late arriving at the place. Mr..
Rutherford was mot at home," but
the officers found some Is or 20
quarts of poor grade "stump licker"
in his smokehouse and took this in
charge of the law.
Word was left for Rutherford to
report to the authorities in Marietta,
and in event he fails to show up,
officers will probably go back after
him.
As the place is near the Cherokee
line, we presume he got the goods
over there, for of course none is be-
ing made in Cobb county.
The sentences that Judge Morris
has been dealing out to liquor vio-
laters are calculated, however, to re-
duce this business to minimum.

all looking fine.

For Boys Wardrobe.

Much as one may regret the intro
duction of the military and naval
note into the clothes the little boy
wears. the fact is that 1.-THE majority
of clothes made for boys his season
and bg far the majority of those that
appeal to the boy himself are in some
way suggestive of the soldiers or
sailors uniform. If in no other de-
tail. the influence would be seen in
the belt and buckle. forever present
on overcoat and often on suit coat.
that took it's inspiration from the So
called trench coat of the soldier.
And just TO show how far the in
fuence has gone. note some of the
names give to coats and suits by one
progressive boys outfitter. Behold
them: Lloyd George. Hoover, which
is described as a 'swagger military
mackinaw in khaki color with a
woolly red flannel lining"-just why
suggestivs' of Hoover or the food adj
ministration it might be hard to
tell-Clemenceau. Lansing, Viviani
and Churchill. And for smaller boys
are offered suits named Sergeant.
Scout. Corporal. Monitor. Captain and
Midshipman. For inspiration of de-
sign they go to the doubie-breasted
Russian uniform. the uniform of a
French ace as well as practically
every uniform worn by men in our
own country's service.
We hear a lot about wool shortage.
but apparently the outfitters have got
around their difficulty somehow for
warm clothing-and it doesn't much
matter whether it is all wool or not
SO long as it is warm and durable.
does it's to be had at prices that
do not seem exorbitant. To be sure,
they are higher than two or three
years ago. but not much in advance
of those of last year.
There is one advantage in the mil
itary mode in boys clothing. They
are at least built for service. these
uniforms, and the result is that the
clothing they inspire is substantial
and warm, with Overcoats that button
well up to the neck and variety of
hats that cover the head and ears in
splendid manner. At least, it is
better to go to soldiers uniforms for
inspiration than to Little Lord
Fauntleroy. with his velvet coatee
and his wide lace collar.

with it is a blue devil' tam, of mole

other bit of cleverness in the way OF
headgear is an Overseas" cap OF seal

prove that variety is fashions watch
word, and that if clothes are properly
selected a woman may within reason
able bounds follow the dictates of her
own taste in the matter OF length,
width, color and fabric.
Frenchwomen do this, and we all
know that the results are decidedly
worth while ones so far as the sar-
torial landscape is concerned.
A fashion fancy that is spoken Of
on both sides of the water when the
details of clothes are discussed this
season is the tendency to do away
with fastenings- least with visible
fastenings-for coats and various
types of wraps. Buttons are by no
means debarred from clothes: quite
the contrary. as many suits and
dresses employ them in extravagant
numbers as trimming; but the pref
erence seems to be for coats arranged
with blind" fastening if any at all
is used.

FASHIONS

American style designers and manu-

perienced rather jolt recently, when
word came from Paris that the ultra
long skirts SO puch talked about here
in America during the present season
were not in the authoritative ShowingS
of fall and winter garments. Here we
have talked about three to five inches
from the ground as the proper skirt
length. Paris says the conservative
length is eight to ten inches, and one
French designer showed number
that were very much shorter The
very short skirts, however, were gen.
orally claSsed as ridiculous, and it
is not believed that women will ac-
cept them for general wear. The mar
row ruling laid down here is adhered
to by Paris, and it is said that one and
a half to one and three-Quarter yards
in width is the average
These Paris bulletins really should
not be disturbing, as they only go to
