100 GERMAN SHIPS IN
SERVICE FOR NATION

Sailing under American names in
the service of the United States are
100 German ships damaged by their
crews prior to their seizure by the
Government when war was declared.
They add more than 100000 gross
tonnage to the transport and cargo
fleets in war service for the United
States.
~ There is evidence that German
central authority gave orders for
damage to these ships, so that none
could be operated in less than IS
months, and documentary proof that
the enemy believed much of the dam
age to be irreparable. In less than
eight months all the ships were in
service.
The former German liners, sailing
under distinctly American names, are
now fitted as troop and cargo ships.
Each is convertible to completely
equipped hospital ship for return
voyage service.

A MOST KINDLY
AND GENEROUS GIFT

On last Sunday, during the bitter
cold weather, The Marietta Mining
Company, through it's manager, MIR.
Hamilton, donated to the city through
Mayor Jim Brumby, car load of
coal for the use of the poor. This
car is the only coal the city has been
able to get for week and has been
used to relieve much suffering, caus-
ed from continued cold.
In addition to this coal the Mayor
has distributed some twenty or more
cords of wood from the municipal
coal yard. More than one hundred
and fifty families have had to ap-
peal for fuel.
The generous act of the Marietta
Mining Company is more to be ap-
preciated, when it is stated that it
is not a coal mining company and
the coal was not their own product,
but purchased under the same cir
cumstances as Others have to buy.

INCOME TAX RETURNS
NOW BEING RECEIVED

Before March 1st every single man
who makes as much as a thousand
dollars per year, and every married
man who makes two thousand dollars
per year, must make returns under
the new income tax law. Those who
fail to do this are subject to a heavy
fine and a fifty per cent additional
taxation.
Uncle Sam is doing all he can to
help you in this matter, but if you
neglect your part he will not excuse
you. He is sending his agents to
every town throughout the land to
help make out these returns, so you
can have no excuse.

PROMOTION FOR TWO
COBB COUNTY BOYS

When the War Department recent
ly ordered the commanding officers
of Camp Wheeler at Macon, Ga, to
select 332 of the most efficient men
out the private ranks of the $4,000
soldiers in that camp to be sent to
Leon Springs, Tex. for three months
training, then to be commissioned as
Lieutenants, Bolan G. Brumby, Jr.,
of Marietta, and Peter 0. McLain, Jr.,
of Acworth, were selected as two of
the men. They will leave the last of
this week for the special train
ing.
When volunteers were called to go
to the Mexican border Bolan enlisted
the first day of the call and has been
in the 5th Ga. Reg. since that time,
having served several months on
the Mexico Border.
When war was declared with Ger
meny, Pete, as he is faniliarly
known. enlisted in the 5th Ga. Reg.
on the first call for volunteers.
It will be gratifying news to the
many friends of these two young
men to know that they are soon to be
commissioned officers IN our great
army on account Of proven merit
well deserved, and not on account
political favoritism.
Our best wishes will follow these
two young soldiers and we predict
that if they are sent TO the firing
line other promotions are in store
for them. 1t is officers Of this charac-
ter that the average private soldier
will stand by to the bitter end and
help force the Kaiser to his knees,
and it is also this character of off
GERS that our commanding officers
will and should entrust to do this.

AGRICULTURAL NOTES.

The State Department of Agri-
culture is advised by Nell r. Wilkin-
son, of Atlanta, who is now acting
as assistant to the United States
Commissioner of Agriculture, that
the farmers of Georgia will be able
to obtain nitrate of soda, in reason
able quantities, for fertilizing their
crops, during 1913.
Mr.. Wilkinson writes the Depart
ment from Washington, that nego-
tiations have already proceeded to
the point where it is now assured that
the greater part of the requirements
Of the farmers can be supplied from
January to June, 1918. The an
nouncement as to prices and the
months in which deliveries can be
made, will be Forthcoming very soon.
The State Department of Agri-
culture will keep posted on this situa-
ton, and will be glad to furnish any
one interested all information it has
II hand, upon application.
Labor scarcity this year is going
to make liberal and careful fertiliza-
ton more important than ever. Far
nlers should get in their fertilizer
supplies early, and while using liber-
ally, should employ it in the manner
to get the maximum of good results.
