POLITICAL RUMORS HAVE
STARTED THE ROUNDS

South Georgia has a number of
counties where there is already a full
ticket and half a dozen candidates
for each county Office in the field. but
SO far this section has avoided any of
the excitement.
We have not any direct or off,
clal announcement, but it seems tn
be understood that John Wood. of
Canton, with Lindley Camp, of Mari
eta, will be one of the tickets in the
race for the solicitorship.
This week the rumor is fastened
on d. H. Collins with jamie w. Cor
ley as a ticket for the clerkship of
the Superior Court of Cobb. Both
young men are well known here and
IN the county and no doubt would
make formidable race if they 60 in
to it.
The present solicitor and clerk of
court will no doubt be candidates for
reelection, SO the first contests for
1920 elections in the county are al
ready being lined up if rumors spell
anything.
Four year terms of Office occasion
early and holly contested campaigns.
but we do not expect the local cam
paign to really begin until after
Christmas.

GIVE UP FIGHT FOR LIQUOR
AND WILL WORK FOR ROADS

New York, November 11.-Mem-
bers of the New York State Hotel
Mems Association, despairing of nit
lgating the. rigors of the prohibition
law, intend to cater to motorists in
the hope of making up through their
patronage the loss of revenue from
the sale of liquors. At the third on
nual convention of the organization
held here today a resolution pledg-
ing support to proposed bond is
sue of $100,000,0O0 for good roads
in New York State was unanimously
adopted. This action was taken aft
er the members of the association
hal learned from their counsel that
there was little hope of selling liquor
again.
Fl. Steward Green, commissioner
Of state highways, who advocated
the bond issue pointed out that
good roads meant more motorists
from other states and a larger num-
Der of patrons for the hotels.

STOPS SUNDAY SCHOOL S

Two Atlanta Sunday Schols '1et
OUT for the circus on Sunday when
the children rushed from the churches
to see the camels and elephants pass
by. A complaint against the circus
only furnished further advertisement
of the same. Circus folks are past
masters at the advertising game. The
Atlanta Journal speaks of the affair
as follows.

churches on Ponce de Leon Avenue
Sunday morning, Councilman Claude
L. Ashley appeared before Chief of
Police Beavers Monday morning and
registered q complaint against the
circus.
Chief Beavers stated that the mat
ter would be investigated to ascer-
tain whether the circus had a permit
to carry their animals past the
churches. If they did not have per-
mits. cases for disturbing public wor-
ship would be made against the cir

NO TRICK USED TO
MAKE COUNTRY DRY
Men Elected Who Voted For The
Amendment Before Soldiers
Went To France

Atlanta, Ca, Nov. 10.-.In refu-
tatlon of the charge of the sswets''
that national prohibition was isput
over" on the men in the service
while they were overseas, the head
quarters of the Georgia campaign
for the Anti-Saloon League of Amer
ca issued the following statement
today:
The members of the Congress
which submitted the National pro-
hlbtion amendment to the states for
ratlflcatlon were elected largely on
TINS very measure long before a state
OF war existed between the United
States and Germany. The amend
ment was submitted by Congress
December IS, 1917, when only a few
scattering regular units had been sent
overseas.
Before the United States entered
the war twenty-five states had gone
dry and were pledged to nationss.
prohibition, and legislators in enough
others to carry the amendment
through had been elected to Office.
There were fifty per cent more
people living in dry territory than in
licensed territory before a state of
war existed between the United
States and Germany. Fifty-ive mil
hon people stood arrayed against
56,0O0,000 in the direct issue of pro-
hibtion before the war.
The Eighteenth Amendment i
the elimination of organized effort
for over a half century The act of
Congress is submitting the amend
ment, and its ratification by forty
flve OF the forty-eight states is the
result of years of organized effort
and the growth of public sentiment
against the liquor traffic"
The law enforcement campaign in
Georgia is being rapidly organized.

RED CROSS ROLL CALL

The work of the local and county
committees on the Red Cross Roll
Call work is still incomplete, and a
full report is not yet available, but
the returns made show that the mem
bership will be about the same as
reported last year. Lack of a thor
ough county and city organization to
give the matter full publicity is one
cause of an Indifference in the peo-
pie in giving serious consideration to
the needs and purposes of the Red
Cross in time of peace.

MARIETTA is HONORED
BY DRAINAGE CONGRESS-


Georgia and Marietta are signal
~ honored by the National Drainage
congress in session at st. Louis this
week, when Judge N. A. Morris, of
Marietta, was elected First Vice-Pres-
ldent of that body, The Southern
Drainage Journal, of Marietta, was
named as the official organ, and At
1anta was selected for the meeting of
the congress in 1920.
Judge Morris was a delegate to the
congress from Georgia, and carried
with him an invitation from Atlanta
to make that place the convention
city in 1920. The recent great inter
est in drainage in Georgia far sur
passes the knowledge of the average
man, and few of the newspapers of
the state have guessed its Importance,
and Georgia is really the logical meet
ing point for the next congress.
Judge Morris, by reason of his ex-
perlence, first as a land owner in a
drainage project, and as a pioneer
promoter of the work in this section.
and later as a contractor doing
dredge work, is peculiarly fitted for
the honor conferred in electing him
the First Vice-President of the Con-
gress. He has been one of the most
enthusiastic advocates of drainage,
and the honor is well deserved
The Southern Drainage Journal.
edited by David Comfort, and pub
lished in Marietta, is a pioneer publ
cation in the promotion of the work
of drainig farm lands. It's first issue
was in June and its sixth number was
out this week, large number of ex-
ira copies being sent to the meeting
of the Drainage Congress in st. Louis
for free distribution among the dele
gates there. We are pleased to know
that it met with the approval of that
body and that it has been honored
by being designated the official or
gan.
Georgia already has a large num-
Der of completed drainage projects
and the work is yet in its infancy in
this state and the whole south. Be-
fore the meeting of the congress in
Atlanta next year a great many more
will have been completed and have
valuable crops to gather from the
once useless land.

BONDS ARE ADVOCATED
BY C. T MORGAN, C. C.
Expresses Utmost Confidence In
Whatever Action Brother Com
missioners May Take

Kennesaw, Ga, Nov. 10, 1919.
Editor Marietta Journal:
Dear Sir:
At regular meeting of the Board
Of County Commissioners held on the
first Tuesday in November 1919,
offered resolution calling for an
election for the issue of $500, 900
Road Bonds, sail election to be held
on Saturday, January 18th. 1920.
The Board of County Commis- ron-
ers decided to postpone action on
this resolution until the first Tuesdav
IN December. To what action the
5oard will take at that time ! an:
unable to say, neither do / desire to
criticise any action they may take
or have already taken in this matter,
for / have the highest regard for
each member of the Board, not only
as TO their judgment and business
ability, but also for their honesty
and sincerity of purpose, and am
sure that whatever action they take
will be what they see to be for the
best interest of the County.
In what / say in this connection it
is not my purpose to discuss the merits
or dement's of a bond issue, but if
you will allow me space in your paper
l would like to give my reason for
offering this resolution and why
think the commissioners should order
an election for bonds at this time.
think that it is generally known
that the Federal Government has al
ready, and will probably continue
from year to year, to set aside a
vast sum of money for the building
and improving of Public Roads in
the different States of the Union. on
condition that the State or County
receiving Federal Aid shall furnish
an amount equal to that which they
receive from the Federal Fund. In
other words they must meet the Fed
eral Government on tifty-fifty basis.
Quite a number of the Counties in
Georgia probably some forty or fifty,
have already acted in this matter and
have voted on the bond issue for this
purpose. Now the only authority in
Cobb County that can order an cleo
ton for this purpose is the County
Commissioners, and if they fail or
refuse to order an election for bonds
they simply say to the people of Cobb
County "You shan't participate in this
Federal Fund" while if they call an
election they only give the people an
opportunity to use their best Judge
ment and their own pleasure in is
suing bonds, in other words the Fed
eral Government says to Cobb County
"if you will build system of good
roads in your County we will furnish
half of the money" In calling an
election for bonds the County Com
missioners do not issue bonds. Ny
object in offering the resolution was
to put the responsibility for the bond
issue on the people instead of the
County Commissioners.
In addition to this, the Counties

MIR. L. B. CARNES BUYS
THE HOME OF MIR. TALLEY

Among the important city property
changes of recent date may be listed
the purchase of the home of Mr.. T. j.
Talley by Mr.. L. 3. Carnes.
The Galley home is one of the
best in Marietta, and Mr.. Carnes buys
it for his own use and will get posses
sion early next year.
Mr.. Galley has not yet found To-
cation to suit him, and we hear that
he had thought of leaving Marietta,
which we trust he will not do. The
removal of the family from Marietta
would be distinct loss to the town.
The Marietta journal. (Marietta, Ga.) 1918-1944, 1919-11-14

which are taking advantage of this
proposition of the Government, win
in few years, have a system of good
roads in their Counties by the aid of
the Federal Government supplement-
ed by their own funds, while the
people of Cobb county will be down in
the bitches, ruts and gullies with
their roads, and they will naturally
want to know why Cobb County did
not get some of this Federal Aid.
We are entitled to it, we help nav
for it, it comes out of the Federal
Treasury, and why don't we get it..
If the Countw Commissioners fail
to call an election they will be with
out an answer to this just criticism,
while if they do call an election and
bonds are defeated, they can simply
say to the people of Cobb County
You, by your vote, refused to place
US IN a position to meet the require
ments" and the responsibility will be
on the voters and not on the Com
missioners.
In conclusion | will say that I
have endeavored to explain my posi-
ton as clearly and in as few words
as ! know how.
Respectfully,

Commissioners.

would reclaim it, as it has worn out
its welcome in the vicinity.
