COBB COUNTY NOTES
NOW ALL IN VAULT

All the county notes, which were
handled by Frank Scarboro, have
been returned to the clerk of the
county commissioners by the receiver
of the Scarboro Company, and are
now in the vault of the county.
These are the notes for 100000, on
which the county expected to get a
loan for this years business, but the
notes were not sold.
The county now has no outstanding
notes, but the warrants bear interest
and are being handled by banks or
local financiers.
We believe that the financial con-
dition of the county is being greatly
improved this year, as it was last
year, and we congratulate the COM
missioners upon the situation.

nd is now in the county Jail of Chero-
kee, charged with robbing the Bank
of Ball Ground some time ago.

and it is said these were traced to
Griffin where Nolan had disposed Of
them.
This man Nolan will be remem-
bered here as the party who was
charged with the robbery of the l..

the case was carried up and new
trial granted, because of some error
in the trial.
In the fourth trial he was ac-
Quilted, after remaining in Jail here
for many months, and the four trials
cost Cobb county many thousands Of
dollars.

Mr.. Gable was stricken with paral-

he will start back yet.
This is the proclamation calling the
session:

MRS. CAMPBELL AGAIN
REVIEWS HOSTILITIES
Jail Life is too Quiet For Her Siren.
uous Disposition So She
Starts Something

Mrs. Naomi Campbell, OF Orphans
Home fame, has broken into the
lime-light once more, that is she has
broken into the light as far as it is
possible for her to do without break
ing out Jail.
Solicitor Dorsey has been laboring
under the impression that he was the
only human being for whom Mrs.
Campbell did not entertain the kind
est feelings. In fact, following the
Biblical injunction, she claimed that
her love covered all humanity, ex-
cepting of course the Solicitor, whom
she had consigned to the bottomless
pit.
But now there is another story to
tell, another chapter has been written
in the play. While she has been
confined in the Cobb Jail, awaiting the
decision of her case by the Court of
Appeals, the sheriff with view to
being as humane as possible, has al
lowed her to occupy a cell with an
other woman, the wife of the Atlanta
Greek, Tom Brown, arrested last
week on a liquor charge.
ALI went we'll for a few days and
then the flame broke out at an I'M
expected moment. The Brown wo-
man, who is rather understood, got
into a quarrel with her husband, who
occupied a nearby cell, and Mrs.
Campbell also took hand. She as
sailed the Brown woman so feroci-
ously that she was soon down and
out, minus some hair and most OF
her clothing.
This was done before the sheriff
knew of the trouble and could in
terfere in any way. Mrs. Campbell
will now have a cell to herself So
long as she is guest of Cobb county
The Brown woman claims that Mrs
Campbell's attack upon her was
wholly without any cause. The jail
life perhaps, is wearing on Mrs
Campbell's nerves, or possibly she
can give Scriptural authority for hel
latest act.

CASE TO BE TRIED SATURDAY

By direction of the commissioners,
County Attorney D. w. Blair brought
mandamus proceedings against Clerk
of Court Dobbs this week to compel
him to comply with the provisions of
the Solicitor salary law which
was passed last year.
BY the terms of the law, it becomes
the duty of the clerk of the court to
collect and turn into the county treas
urer all fees, fines and forfeitures,
heretofore going to the Solicitor.
This case is brought as a test case
to determine the validity Of the law,
about which there has been much diff
ference of opinion.
Judge Morris has set Saturday for
hearing of the case.

He is acting as Judge of the In
ferior Provost Court in the section,
and the chief duty of this court is to
trv Germans for infractions of the

The court has the power to punish,

exceeding 1000 marks, or about $500
of our money.
And there is one other point we

not learned to speak the German
language yet we will bet he can just
look at one and tell whether he is
guilty or not.

ATLANTA WOMEN TO GET VOTE

White women of Atlanta will be
allowed to vote in the next white pri-
mary of that city. 1t is a good way
on the road toward the ultimate des-
tination, full woman suffrage. 1t will
make it easier for those who have
so long fought it, to give up grace
fully. Again it will accustom women
to the exercise of the right, when it
is finally granted. Not much longer
can it be delayed. In this connection
we see that "old Bill" Keller is in
favor of women voting but he wants
to restrict the suffrage to those wo-
men who have enough consideration
for the rights of others, to shut
street car door after them in cold
weather.

GOVERNOR TURNS LOOSE
A BAD NEGRO CRIMINAL
ON PEOPLE or COUNTY
Some influence Used To Get
Pardon For Negro
Court Dockets of Cobb County Full
of Criminal History Made By This
Negro. Once Convicted of Assault
With Intent To Murder.

Considering Governor Dorsey's pre-
election attitude on the subject, he is
far from consistent in sustaining the
verdicts of the courts.
He has just pardoned one of the
most notorious negro criminals who
ever figured in Cobb County Courts.
Last fall George Gardner, colored,
was convicted in liquor case before
Judge Morris at the November term
of court, and was sentenced to IL
months in the changing without the
right to pay out.
This week, although less than half
this sentence has been served, George
Gardner is free, by the grace of Gov
ernor Dorsey, and the activity of his
attorney, Herbert Clay.
Let US tell you who George Gard
ner is in order that you may appre-
ciate the full meaning of this.
George is a negro, whose court
record we have just looked up for a
dozen years only, and this is what
we find on the Cobb County records.
We quote from the docket and we
only looked back to 1905, and it's
plenty.
1905-Convicted of a misdemeanor.
19O6-Convicted of misdeWeanor,
19O6-Convicted of assault with
intent to murder, his victim being an
old and respected white man, Billie
Mason, whom he also robbed. He
was tried by Judge Gober who gave
him 10 years in the penitentiary
which was the limit under the statute.
He only served about one-third of
this term, securing a pardon through
his attorney Herbert Clay.
191O-Indicted for misdemeanor.
1911-Indicted for assault with in
tent to murder, and convicted OF
assault and battery, and sentenced to
8 months in the chain gang by Judge
Morris.
1911-Convicted of liquor selling
and sentenced to s months in chain
gang by Judge Morris.
1911-Indicted for misdemeanor
and case nolle pressed.
1913-Plead guilty to misdemean-
or and sentenced to Z months in
changing or 500 fine by Judge Pat
| terson.
1915-Indicted for misdemeanor
and case nolle posed by Judge Pat
terson and Solicitor Herbert Clay.
1918-Plead guilty to liquor charge
and sentenced to II months in the
chaingang by Judge Morris, and this
is the case in which he has just Sc
cured a pardon of Governor Dorsey
through his attorney Herbert Clay.
1918-Indicted on liquor charge
still pending against him.
Now isn't that nice record Tor
YOU? And rumors of other events
| in the history of George Gardner are
current, but for lack of time we have
not traced these rumors, but we are
sure they will not reflect credit upon
George as a citizen.
Some former governors may nave
abused the pardoning power-we are
sure they have-but it would be nara
TO find a worse case of abuse than
turning this negro loose on the COM
munity again.
How can the courts of Georgia be
expected to enforce the liquor law or
anv other law and order when we
have a governor who thus uses his
mower to free notorious negro GRIM
inals upon the country.

NEW YORK, Feb. 22.-The ques-
ton viii airplane construction in

a number of answers. most of them
negative, at the convention of the
Society of Automotive Engineers

NJ. Crane of the Wright Martin Air
craft corporation. New Brunswick:
Howard c. Harmon Of the Nordyke
q Marmon company, and o. Z. Hunt,
chief engineer. carriage division,
Packard Motor Car Co., Detroit, ex-
pressed opinions which agreed for
the most part, that the lessons they
learned during the war in producing
aircraft engines would not greatly
influence automobile practice in the
future.
Mr.. Hunt pointed out that the sys-
tenn of control applied with success
to war airplanes, was entirely un-
suited to automobile control. Second
~, since the body of an airplane is
its chief structural member, 1t has to
be strong and light, and since it must
be narrow 1t is not readily made
comfortable. Instead Of using steps
and doors, one has to climb into the
cockpit. Windshields when provided,
are not adequate protection and
