DEATH OF AN OLD CAT.

Bent" the pet cat of Mrs. Lawson
Fields, died last Saturday at the ripe
old age of fifteen and a half years.
He was buried with betting cere-
mony by the family and the children
of the neighborhood. This cat was
born at Calhoun, Gordon County, in
1904, and was greatly Travelled, hav-
ing ridden on the cars possibly more
than great number of people who
consider themselves travelled.
When in his prime, "Bent" weigh
ed twenty pounds, but at his death
he was the merest shadow of his
former self, possibly weighing not
more than five pounds.
Fifteen years is long time for a
cat to live, but Henry w. Longfellow,
the poet, owned cat that attained
the remarkable age of thirty years.
There are several old cats in Marietta
and fine ones, too; but we know of
none that is older than this pet of
Mrs. Fields.

THE NEGRO AND THE SOUTH

Much has been said anent the South
and the negro. Southern people have
been severely arraigned for a cen
fury, by the North, East and West,
and that, very unjustly. The negro
is in the South to stay-the North
sent them south to start with, be-
cause of climatic conditions, and here
the bulk of them have been ever
since, and, will no doubt always re-
main. The Southern man is the
negro's best friend, has always been
and always will be. Every true South
ern gentlement likes good negro
there are good ones and there are
bad ones-the same holds true in
every race. The South has plenty
of room for the good negro and al
ways will have-every negro who be-
HAYES himself gets the protection OF
the law and is admired by all good
Southern folks.
The bad negro is another propo-
sition-the South has no room for
this class, neither has any other sec
ton of this country-just so long as
negro brutes commit their outrages
on Southern womanhood, just so long
will they be dealt with summarily.
Now is the South the only section of
the country that deals with the negro
in this manner? We will not refer
to ancient history for it is not our
intention to engender any bad feel
ing-we will just take what has fresh
ly happened for example. What has
the West to say about the Chicago
riots and more recent still, the Oma-
ha, Nebraska, lynching? We haven't
any criticism to make on the exc
cution of the negro if he was guilty
of the crime charged, for it was the
darkest crime known to mankind. Did
the mob stop there? The mayor of
Omaha was also strung up for trying
to enforce the law-he was trying to
do his duty-we ask again: Has the
South ever furnished a mob to string
up an executive for trying to enforce
the laws of his State? We answer in
the egative.-Talbotto New-Era.

WEEKLY CROP AND
WEATHER REPORT

Although showers occurred on sew
eral days during the week, thye were
irregularly distributed and INSULT
cient in amount, so that the drought
is becoming serious in many sections.
The weather was very favorable for
harvesting operations, which are pro-
ceeding rapidly; haying, gathering
corn, and digging sweet potatoes have
advanced to the northern limits of
the State. Preparations for seeding
winter cereals are backward, but
some oats were sown during the
week in several counties. Corn is
fair to good and is being gathered
rapidly. Peanuts are poor. Sweet
potatoes are good crop, but the
yield will not be as heavy as indica-
ted earlier in the season. Meadows
and pastures are deteriorating rapid
ly. Fall gardens are generally poor
on account of lack of sufficient mois-
ture. Peacans are ripening and in
dictate a good yield Picking cotton
has progressed rapidly, and over
most of the southern district is prac-
tically all out and ginned A good
deal remains to be gathered in the
northern half of the state. In the
north the yield of cotton is fair,
though less than expected a month
ago. This will be the last weekly
report for the season.

A DOUBLE WEDDING
OF LOCAL INTEREST

On last Saturday night in Atlanta
Rev. R. A. Edmondson, of st. Paups
Methodist Church, performed a
double wedding which is of local in
terest, as one of the grooms formerly
lived here. Mr.. Virgil Butler is son
of Mr.. B. A. Butter who formerly
was resident of Marietta.
The principals were Miss Marie
Pearson, of Milwaukee, Mis-, Virgil
M. Butler, of Greenville, S. c.; R. K.
Stansell, of Greenville, and Miss Mel
lie Petty, of Greenville. Miss Pear
son became Mrs. Butler and Miss
Petty became Mrs. Stansell.
The double wedding was quite ro-
mantle affair. The two grooms are
lifelong friends working and room
ing together at Greenville. One of
them, Mr.. Butler, met his bride while
he was in the army, member of the
Thirtieth division, when he was sent
north to Milwaukee to get some
motor trucks. While in France he
corresponded with his sweetheart and
when he returned home last April,
they had an understanding" In the
meantime, his chum, Mr.. Stansell, had
also become engaged to a girl in his
home town.
Having been pretty much together
all their lives, the two young men de-
cided to be married together. The
young ladies were willing, and At
lantal was decided upon as a good

DRAMA COUNCIL FOR
MARIETTA ORGANIZED

AS an outgrowth of the beautiful
pageant, The Vision of the Blue Cru
saders, which was so successfully
stage dby the local branch of the
Y. W. C. A. in August last, Drama
Council for Marietta has been form
ed. This council will be affiliated
with the Marietta Y. W. c. A. but
will work under the leadership OF the
National Council on Pageantry and
the Drama of which Miss Hazel Mac
Kaye is chairman.
At meeting held last Friday at
ternoon in the Y. W. c. A. parlors,
the scope and purpose of the work
was discussed, and plans outlined for
the future.
Mrs. Benson, the chairman, has
appointed the following ladies to
serve with her on the Council:
Mrs. E. G. Gilbert, dramatic d.
rector; Mrs. M. D. Hodges, musical
director; Mrs. Lawson Fields, direc-
tor of scenery and properties; Mrs.
Herbert Hague, county dramatic or
ganizer; Mrs. M. T. McWhorter, pub
licity director.
The fact that Mrs. Benson is at
the head of the work is in itself a
guarantee that it will be carried to a
successful termination.
Mrs. Benson is endowed with that
s rare combination of brilliant dramat-
ic and executive ability, and this,
coupled with her great eenrgy, al
ways brings overwhelming success to
crown her efforts She will bring to
this work fine conception of dra-
matte Interpretation which she has
the happy faculty of imparting to
those she trains.

Director of Publicity.
