BRITISH PAPERS ATTACK
BULLITT'S TESTIMONY

London, Sept. II. - Comment on
William Bullitt's testimony before the
senate foreign relations committee in
Washington continues in the British
press. Instead Of Mr.. Bullitt being
attacked as an intruder in British poll
tics the unpopularity Of the Russian
campaign has temporarily massed the
anti-American press against Lloyd
George and Ironically it has left the
usually coafilatory pro-American Sec
ton to criticise Mr.. Bullitt's vercity
or at least his lack Of discretion.
The premier's supporters declare
tht unfortunately he intercepted a
blow aimed at President Wilson.
3 There is some tendency to dismiss
Mr.. Bullitt as bolshevik agent. The
Pail Mall Gazette said:
ss'Mr. Bullitt's admiration for Dol.
shevism evidently led him to adopt its
methods as we'll as it's principles. Any
weapons are good enough for the po-
litical man-hunt such as Mr.. Wilson'S
enemies are engaged in, but Mr.. Bull
lit probably will find that his oppor-
tunities for mixing with honorable
men, then traducing them, will be linn
tied in the future"
The Evening Standrd, while hest
tating to describe Mr.. Bullitt's testi-
mony as tissue Of lies," thinks "his
journalistic Imagination got the better
of his diplomatic poise as an occasion
al statesman"
The Westminster Gazette, address
ing Lloyd George, declares Mr.. Bull
lifts testimony calls for careful,
reasoned refutation, with specific
statements.

FROM A HOLE IN THE
WALL TO ROOM FOR ALL

We would not exactly say that the
w. A. Florence Dry Goods Company
was ever so small that it could actual
ly be put in "hole in the WALL but
it has not ben 80 long since it was q
very small concern compared to it's
present dimensions.
Crowded into the three floors Of
its present quarters is stacked up the
largest stock Of goods ever brought to
this section. The upper floors are
full of bales and cases for which there
is absolutely no room to display.
While this is. the situation pre-
vailing IS the moment, in a very few
days the very large floor above the
new Richardson warehouse will be
occupied by the Florence company,
giving ample room for display Of the
enormous stock Of ready-to-wear and
relieving the strain upon the capac-
ity of the present store for other
goods.
And besides all this Mr.. Florence
states that a big stock of the latest
goods are still in transit. You should
see this store. /.

Southeastern Fair AT Expense
OF The Management

Last Saturday was the time APP
pointed for the competitive examina-
ton for the Club boys t ODE given
the week at the Southeastern Fairs
free school at Lakewood during the
fair.
County Agent McMahan states that
only two boys appeared at the APP
pointed hour and these being fully
qualified in every way were given the
appointments.
These boys were Homer Glore, age
IT, of Middleton, of the pig club and
Henry Dewberry, age IT., of Acworth,
of the wheat club. Both boys were
prize winners in the contest last year.
Glore won first prize with a Duroc
sow pig and Dewberry first prize with
401a bushels of wheat on an acre.
Some other boys of the club APP
peared latter in the day-too late to
be considered in the contest for the
fair scholarship.
Boys from all over the state-two
from each county-will be given this
trip to the fair and weeks free in
struction under the best teachers the
state college of agriculture has.
We congratulate the young men
who have this fine opportunity to take
valuable course, and at the same
time enjoy the hospitality of the Fair
Association, who are paying all the
expenses in the matter.

A NEW HOSIERY MILL
COMING TO MARIETTA
To Start October First With About
Thirty Machines Making Finer
Grades Ladies Hosiery

Marietta is to get another manu-
featuring plant to begin operations
almost at once. Mr.. w. T. Hetrick,
of the Hetrick Mfg. Co.., of Gaines
Vile. Ca, is in town, and has pur-
chased the number two building OF
the old Marietta Chair Company, on
Dobbs street and the W. & A. railroad.
About October 1 the Marietta Man
ufacturing Co. will begin operation OF
a hosiery mill in this building. The
Hetrick Mfg. Co. of Gainesville will
ship at once about 80 new knitting
machines and other equipment for
which they have not sufficient oper-
ators in Gainesville.
Mr.. George Potter, who has been
with the Hetrick Company for num-
Der of years, will be superintendent OF
the new plant. Orders have been
placed for additional machines and
when they are received and installed
the plant will have capacity of three
to four hundred dozen ladies' hose per
day, and these of the finer goods.
The plant will eventually furnish
work for between fifty and seventy
five employees. With two hosiery
mills already in operation, which have
established reputation for their pro-
duct, Marietta is becoming quite a
knitting center.
We welcome Mr.. Potter and the
new plant to our city and still have
room for more such reputable enter
prises.

"Hornets is Hornets"

Enthusiasm over the work Of the
big steel dredge on the Powder
Springs Drinage Districts got Judge
Newt Morris into peck Of trouble
on Wednesday afternoon when he
visited the work in progress on the
creek.
The judge is interested in the pro-
ject, and with his usual keen eye for
obstacles which might impede the
progress Of the big dredge, he saw
a small oak some hundred yards ahead
of the dredge, which had been felled
and left lying directly in the path Of
the dredge, by the force of hands who
were clearing the right of way.
AS the clearing force had gone some
distance head of the work and no en-
ployee was in sight who could be
spared from the operation of the
dredge, the judge, who always has q
lot of surplus energy, got an axe and
started to display his knowledge Of
the woodsman's craft.
He quickly cut off one section Of
the tree and then a second section,
coming to the branches he gave a
mighty blow to the first one with his
axe, shaking the whole tree top, but
that was his last lick.
Out of the top, in the twinkling of an
eye, came an angry army of yellow
jackets-volunteers all, and as mad as
hornets ever get to be-taking the
judge completely by surprise.
In his boyhood days the judge had
taken many crack at hornets nest,
but he was usually prepared and
managed to get away with few casual
ties, and now he is more for peace
and arbitration than active and bitter
warfare such as these hornets were
bent upon. He therefore beat hasty
but ignominious retreat, covered by a
cloud of the enemy.
Through the highest and thickest
cane and brushes went the judge, back
and forth. time after time, with the
enemy holding on and gaining at every
jump. Remembering an old trick,
down into the mud went the judge,
rolling over and over, but, too late,
for by this time two or three divisions
of the hornets had gotten under his
clothing and were buster than ever.
BY this time the big dredge had
stopped and tint crew were perehed
safely at a. distance, watching the
combat. Out Of the mud an into the
tall timber again went the judge,
with the enemy still in his wake, act
ing just like mad hornets will act, but
looking to the Judge to be about the
size Of aeroplanes and as numerous
as the sands Of the seashore.
Convinced by this time that more
desperate measures were necessary,
the. judge decided to adopt submarine
tactics so out Of the brush he went
like a streak Of blazing Are and down
into the creek he went carrying many
a poor hornet to q watery grave.
After q reasonable time he was able
to emerge and receive the congratu-
lations of the dredge crew, and il
there be such thing, he should also
have q cross Of honor. Under cover
OF darkness he came back to town and
on the way he took firm resolution
to let the clearing force remove all
the trees in future.

The one-piece or two-piece frock of
wool cloth is to be reckoned with in
every wardrobe, for it almost divides
honor with the tailored suit in the
favor of American women at least.
The chances are it is even more high
ly considered among English and
French women who may not be as in
alienably attached to the tailored suit
as Americans are. At any rate it is
presented in many different designs
and has peculiar interest just now
when we are all trying to shave down
the high cost of living. Women are
remodeling suits and converting them
into dresses that will answer for street
and business wear and combining wool
materials with satin or silk for after
noon frocks.
For the purpose Of remodeling, the
frock of cloth with underskirt of satin
is an excellent design. What was the
skirt in suit becomes a long tunic
in the frock, with IL narrow tucks set
above the hem. 1t discloses the satin
underskirt at the front and is gath
cred in at the waistline about the sides
and back. The coat provides for a
