PAUL NEESE NOT DEAD
BUT WAS WOUNDED

The casualty list last week contain
ed the name of Paul M. Neese as hav-
ing died of disease in France.
We published the list as reported,
but we were delighter to learn soon
after our paper was out that he was
only wounded and that this occurred
some time ago.
His mother Mrs. Jefferson D. Neese
of Lawrence street Marietta phones
us that Paul had written on January
10th that ne had entirely recovered
from his wound and had returned to
duty.
There is therefore every reason to
believe that the list reporting his
name as having died of disease, was
one of those long delayed ones and
that in it the nature of the casualty
was in error.
We hope that he is in the best OF
health at this time, and may soon
come home to find that he is one of
many who were enormously report
ed as dead.

Seeing THINGS"

This was the subject of an interest
ing lecture at the courthouse on Tues
day evening, by DR.. Robert Arthur
Elwood.
This was given for the benefit of
the Armenian fund, under the aus
pices of the local schools of Marietta.
The night was extremely unpropi-
tious, and a rather small gathering
greeted DIR. Elwood, who will always
be remembered by the people of Ma
rietta and Cobb county for his gene
rous work here during the third Liber-
ty Loan Campaign.
His CHEEKY smile and good nature
and his rare intellectual qualities en-
deared him to the people here, and
during the time he was in the Y. M.
C. A. work at Camp Gordon he was
frequent and welcome visitor here.
His lecture on Tuesday evening
was characteristic of the man and his
optimistic nature, and we regret that
more of our people could not have
heard him.

FORSYTH COURT DATE
SET so DAYS LATER

Judge Morris has received a petit
ton from the citizens of Forsyth
county asking that the regular term
of circuit court for that county be
deferred on account of the continued
prevalence of smallpox there.
The regular term of court was set
for the third Monday in February, but
Judge Morris, in granting the petit
ton, deferred it until the third Mon
day in April, by which time it is hop
ed that the situation will be much
improved.
A great deal of smallpox has also
been reported from Milton county re-
Gently.
In several of the upper mountain
counties of the state the flu seems to
have held on with great tenacity and
a great many of the cases have proved
fatal.

E. L. MOORE UNDERGOES
APPENDICITIS OPERATION

On Monday evening, while Mr.. E.
L. Moore was returning from Pow
der Springs in a car, he was taken
suddenly sick, and on reaching home
summoned physician, who discover
ed that he was suffering with appen-
dicitis.
During the night the symptoms be-
came so severe that on Tuesday morn
ing he was rushed to the Davis-Fisch-
er sanatorium, in Atlanta, where an
operation was at once performed.
1t was found that this took place
just in time to prevent the most
serious complications.
He was doing well at last reports
and his many friends join in wishing
his early and complete recovery.

Shall 1t Be Hospital
Or A Monument?

Shall it be either, or both, as a
memorial to our boys?
We learn that Mayor Brumby has
made an appreciate start on the hos
pital plan, having secured promises OF
over $500 already from some with
whom he has conferred.
We are further told that he is
working out definite plan of organi-
cation, but these plans are not yet
ready for publication.
On the other hand, from a reliable
friend who lives in the country and
is close to the people, we have the re-
port that some of the country people
view the hospital plan as CONNER
cializing, rather than memorializing,
and think a memorial should be some
thing that would not be susceptible to
the whims of politics, or dependent
upon the county or municipal funds
for support.
This friend further states that he
personally would be glad to see a
monument unveiled upon our square
by this fall, and reunion of all Cobb
county soldier boys to take part in
same. 1t could be made an occasion
for an official welcome home to all
our boys, he thinks.
Personally, we would be glad to
have both a monument and hospital,
and if we had an active chamber of
commerce, it could take the burden
off the mayors hands, and we believe
secure both for Marietta.

CHILD SERIOUSLY Ill

DR.. W. H. Perkinson's little daugh-
ter. Jane, has been most seriously i'll
for several days, and is in the Davis
Fischer hospital, where an operation
was necessary.
Not only did she develop double

the case, and at this writing, Thurs

Numerous are the inquiries con

Marietta Property Mvolved
I'm an Interesting Lazv Suit

OHe VI the largest anu .tIlUSO III
teresting suits recently in our civil
court will come up in the March term
of Cobb. Superior Court.
1t involves the ownership of two
brick store houses, on the square in
Marietta, and seven hunderd acres
of land just west Of Kennesaw.
The suit is based upon the inter-
probation of a clause in the will of
John w. Hill, a prominent and veal
thy resident of Cobb county, who died
in 1884, and the litigation is between
the heirs to his estate.
Mr.. Hill willed a good portion of
his estate to each of the following
children, George, James, Edward,
Mary, Griffin and Benjamin, provid-
ing the life of the legatee and then go
each case, should be held intact dur
ing the life of the legatee ad then go
to the children of the legatee, share
and share alike.
To his wife he then willed good
portion to be held by her during her
life and added further the following
clause:
"The residue of my property, both
real and personal, whatever and
wherever it may be, including that
given to my wife in the third article,
when her estate therein is over, goes
to my son Benjamin, all that has been
willed and dedicated to my wife, both
land and Big Shanty property, all
goes to Ben, except the little Babb
place"
Mrs, Hill died soon afterward and
the property described went to Ben
jamin Hill.
Last year one of the original heirs,
Edward Y. Hill died without children,
and the other heirs except Benjamin
asked for letters of administration
and leave to sell his property for
division.
BENJAMIN Y. Hill then asked for
a stay of the order and filed claim
to the land and store houses left
Edward Y. Hill by his father, his
claim being based on the clause OF his
fathers will providing that the pro-
perty should go to the children OF
each legatee.
Mrs. E. Y. Hill also filed claim to
the land in the case, but we have
not heard what her claim is based
upon.
AS we understand it the claimants
are now Mrs. Edward Y. Hill as
stated above, Benjamin Young Hin
who claims that property afterWard
coming to the estate reverts to the
residuary legatee, and the other child
rem of John w. Hill who claim that
it was the intent of their father to
leave each child the property desig-
mated in the will, without thought of
any having no children to inherit 1t
when he made the will.
The living heirs of John W. Hill
are now Mrs. Mary Lunsford of Ac-
worth, the children of James and
George Hill who live in Atlanta (both
James and George are dead) E. Crit
fin Hill of Kennesaw and Benjamin
Y. Hill of Kennesaw.
The Hill family has been one of the
most prominent in the county, and we
understand that the suit is a friend
ly one to determine the law and legal
ownership of the property involved.
Mrs. E. Y. Hill and Benjamin \.
Hill have their claims in the hands
of Col. D. W. Blair, while the other
heirs are represented by Motley q

MARIETTA BASKETBALL
GIRLS LOSE FIRST GAME
TO FULTON HIGH Il To II
Encounter Fiercely Fought
By Both Teams
Fulton High Was Present With Their
Cadet Corps Band and Hundreds of
Rooters. Many Locals Supporters
Witnessed Game.

On last Friday evening the girls
of the Marietta High School basket
ball team met Fulton on the local
floor and met defeat at the hands of
the visitors by the score of IL to IL.
The two teams were very evenly
matched, as the score indicates, and
it was not until the last few seconds
of play that Fulton tailed the win
ming points. Marietta was in the lead
by the score of II to 10 up to twenty
seconds before the final whistle was
sounded. But Estelle Martin, of Full
ton, rang a field goal changing the
score to IL to II and changed our
joy to gloom.
We are not satisfied yet that we
haven't the best team in the league.
The numerous fouls called on the two
teams-16 on Fulton and l 5 on Mari
etta-tended to slow up the game to
such a degree that we don't think
the contest was true test of merits.
Yes, Referee Holt, of the Atlanta Y.
M. C. A. was very much in evidence.
We know that both teams took the
floor with the understanding that they
were to fight it out to finish. But
with the poor court on which the
game was staged, with no side walls,
causing the ball to be thrown in from
out of bounds every few seconds
and with thirty-one fouls called in a
single contest, neither team had time
to open up for more than few sec
onds at time.
We think the picture of Referee
Holt and his whistle will be fresh in
the minds of the players long after
the outcome of the contest is for
gotten.
But there were two of the fastest
basketball teams in the state on the
floor and, naturally, there was some
fine playing pulled off in spite of this
automatic whistle machine.
Of the fouls called, Mural Williams
scored five points for Marietta and
Miss Graves scored four for Fulton.
The first field goal of the game was
a very spectacular shot by Frances
Phillips, who rushed down the floor
near the side line and threw very
difficult goal before one of our demon
guards could get near her. By the
way, Miss Phillips is an all-prep guard
and has been one of Fulton's leading
players for two seasons. Her home
is but a few short blocks from the
College Park High School building,
and it would have suited us all right
if she had played with College Park
this season.
Miss Martin was the real heroine of
the game for Fulton. She shot three
field goals during the game, the last
one, as stated before, being the one
that turned defeat into victory for
the Fulton colors.
With the exception of Miss Martin
it would be hard to pick any "stars"
of the game. The Marietta girls all
played jam-up basketball throughout
the contest. Rebecca Cole had two
pretty field goals to her credit and
Ruth Galley scored one. Muriel Will
liams played a splendid all-around
game throughout the contest. When
an opposing team puts the ball in the
basket while being guarded by Murlel

Governor Dorsey's proclamation
follows:
STATE OF GEORGIA,
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT.
Atlanta, Ga.
Whereas: The statewide meeting
of cotton farmers and business men
held at Macon, Ca, did on February
9th, 1919, pass unanimously the fol
lowing resolutions, towit:
Resolved: That this convention
call upon the governor of Geor-
gia to make February 18th as
the day for statewide county
meetings to secure pledges and
take other steps necessary to
effect this reduction.
Resolved: That the reduction
of cotton acreage by thirty-three
and one-third per cent is just as
important at this time as was the
sale of Liberty Bonds by the gov
eminent during it's war, this con-
vention urges the same thorough
and definite organization of the
cotton growers in each county as
was effected for Liberty Bonds
and Red Cross campaigns. To
that end we recommend the APP
pointment by the Commissioner
of Agriculture of a chairman in
every county to secure working
committee, hold farmers meet
ings in every district, sign up
pledges for reduction as stipu-
lated and create a sentiment in
favor of reduction; it is import
ant that the cotton farmers be
true to one another at this time
stacking now is like Stacking
on the government during the
war.
Therefore, /, Hugh M. Dorsey, gov
ernor of the State of Georgia, do
hereby issue this proclamation, en-
dorsing said plans and purposes to all
our people of the state. suggest
and request the general observance of

THREE-MINUTE VIEWS
OF THE FOREIGN NEWS
Germans Still Feeling AS If They
Were The Victors In
Worlds War

Late reports from the interior of
Germany indicate that Germany has
ceased to disband her armies, and
that everywhere there is spirit of
defiance of the powers smouldering,
and refusal to acknowledge defeat.
The National Assembly at Weimar
has elected Friedrich Ebert as the
first president of the German state,
and fixed his salary at million marks
about 100000 per year, and desig-
mated Berlin as his place of residence.
King George of England has made
a notable speech at the opening of
Pertinent, declaring in favor of many
important reforms and incidentally
giving his approval of President Will
son and his work over there.
Lloyd Geoge warned labor circles
where threats against the govern
ment are said to have been made,
saying:
Gin all solemnity on behalf of the
government that we are determined
to fight Prussianism in the industrial
world exactly as we fought it on the
continent of Europe.
President Wilson is preparing to
leave Paris for home, reaching this
country about Feby. 25th, but it is
said that he will return to Paris after
stay of only ten days in Washing
ton, as he has become convinced that
his presence is necessary to the sue
cess of certain plans in the peace
conference.
The Japanese and Chinese dele
gates at the peace table are at log
gerheads, the Chinese say copies of
the secret treaty forced upon China
by Japan, were stolen from their
baggage during it's passage through
Japan. 1t is said to have been the
intention of the Chinese delegates
to make these secret treaty terms
known to the conference. The Jap
anese deny the theft and also that
there has been any forced treaty with
China. Japan further states that she
will unfold all her secret treaties to
the conference, but the reasonable
ness" of the situation would seem to
favor the Chinese statement as true.
There is still some fighting report
ed from the Archangel sector of Rus
STA. In Siberia the American forces
have to date lost 324 men, nearly
100 of them were killed in battle or
died of wounds. These losses have
been reported on the regular casualty
lists, the war department says. Rus
STA as a whole seems hopelessly in
the hands of the Bolsheviki, who have
continued the slaughter of all oppon-
ents who fall into their hands.
Until the propaganda, like ter
riable disease, runs it's course there
seems little hope of helping Russia
in any way.

NAVY OFFICERS
 TO HAVE UNION
Will Affiliate With American Federation of Labor-Sailors
 in All Squadrons Interested.

Organization of labor union of navy officers for the purpose of obtaining in creased pay and other concessions from the government has been begun in the United States Atlantic fleet It is planned to affiliate the body with the American Federation of Labor and to extend its scope to the Pacific fleet and Asiatic and European squadrons.
 The organization, under way several months, has been carried on in secret because of the clause in navy regula- tions which, in effect, prohibits such plans. Pay of officers has not been in creased since 1908, although the cost of living has more than doubled. Also, much dissatisfaction has been expressed with the contemplated demotion Of tenn porarily promoted officers, which began with Vice-Admira1 Sims.
 It is pointed out that through organ ization the Seamep's Union has been able to obtain for its members, officers and men, pay considerably in excess of that of the corresponding grades in the navy. Sponsors for the new organiza- ton also assert they are actuated by the example of railway employees who have obtained wage increases and better working conditions through unions.
 Number of officers joined the new organization immediately after the re- cent announcement of the action of the House committee on naval affairs, which, acting on the recommendation of Secretary Daniels, reported claues
