money CnaC is TO De eApeHucu III INC
Acworth road district and the class OF
roads that they are to get.
In distribution sheet shown to
Journal reporter by Clerk of Commits
sioners, Mr.. ]. R. Miller, he plainly
shows that the Acworth, Kennesaw
and Red Rock districts will probably
receive more miles of paved roads
than any other section of the county.
This is due to the fact that most of
the Dixie Highway lies in these three
districts.
The people of Acworth, Kennesaw
and Red Rock districts are under the
impression that they are to receive
only $4,000 for road work inetheir
section, but in truth, according to the
distribution sheet that has been pre-
pared in the office of the commission
ers, they will receive 100000 of the
road bond issue and will have more
paved road than any other section in
the entire county.
The question was discussed at
length with the citizens committee
from Acworth and they will be given
another hearing at the regular month
ly meeting of the commissioners in
August.
Action on the proposed bond issue
was deferred until the regular month
ly meeting. A joint citizens commit
tee for the county at large will meet
with the commissioners at that time.
Commissioner Delk introduced
resolution at the Tuesday meeting,
providing for the establishment of
several road wards in each militia dis
trict of the county and the appoint
ment of road supervisor for each
ward. The resolution provides for
the supervisor to have charge OF the
collections and disbursements of the
road tax in his ward, under the super
vision of the county commissioners.
The road supervisor will be under
bond to the county and he is to be
allowed small stated commission for
his work.
1t is claimed by the hackers of the
resolution that this system of spend
ing the road tax in the militia dis
tricts will add greatly to the efficiency
of the road working forces by elimin-
ating a great deal of long distance
travel for small jobs, and it will also
increase the interest of citizens in the
lateral roads of the various districts
The resolution seemed to meet with
the approval of the county commits
sioners and in order to allow more
time to study and work out the de-
tails of the plan, final action was de-
ferred until the August meeting.
No other business of Importance
was taken up by the commissioners in
this mid-month meeting.

DOBBS-PAWLEY

Mr.. and Mrs. Herbert Clifton
Dobbs have issued invitations to the
marriage of their daughter, Annie
Hair, to Mr.. William Douglas Paw
ley, the wedding to take place on
Friday evening, July rs, at the First
Baptist church.
Marietta society is warmly inter-
ested in this event, which will be one
of the largest and most beautiful
ever seen here.
The prominence of the family, the
unusual beauty Of the bride and the
popularity of this young couple, all
combine to make the coming we'd
ding and reception the event of the
season.
Miss Annie Hair Dobbs, after her
graduated from the Marietta High
School, attended Randolph-Macon, in
Virginia, and Sophy Newcomb Col
lege in New Orleans.
Since her debut some three years
ago she has been a popular member
of the society of Lynchburg, Va,
Washington, D. c., and Atlanta, as
well as one of the leaders of the
Young set of Marietta.
In the spring of 1917 she was one
of the girls, (who were recruited from
all over the U. S. attending the Ma
tional Service School in Washington
and Miss Dobbs was voted the pref
test girl there. This was no surprise
to her many friends, for her statues
que beauty with her wonderful dark
hair and blue eyes make her type
very striking and lovely.
Mr.. William D. Pawley is a proml-
nent young business man of Port au
Prince, Hayti, being a member OF
the firm of Exporters and Importers.
He has made many friends on his
frequent visits here.
The only thing to be regretted is
the fact that Mr.. Pawley will take
his bride so far away, for Port au
Prince will be their future home.

Marietta where they had been to visit
Mrs. McCutcheon at Benson's sanito-
rum, had gone into the yard of the
Echols home for some stove wood. AS
he passed large tree in the yard a
bolt of lightning struck him in the
head and he was instantly killed. His
clothing was burned and his left shoe
, was torn into shreds.
Mr.. McCutcheon was the son of Mr..
and Mrs. J. G. McCutcheon, of Pow
der Springs, Ga. "Roy," as he was
known by his hundreds of friends in
the county, was member of the Mid
way Presbyterian church, and was
ever on the alert for anything for the
good of his church and community.
Mrs. McCutcheon, who has just un-
dergone serious operation at the
Benson Sanitorium, was not told of
the untimely death of her husband un-
til Wednesday, as it was feared the
shock would be too trying on her
weakened condition following the OPP
GRAFTON.
The funeral services of Mr.. Nc
. Cutcheon were held from the Midway
Presbyterian church on Wednesday.
The interment will be in the Midway
cemetery.
Property Damage
The storm also did much damage
to property in this section.
A fine mule, owned by Mr.. Hiram
Wade, who lives north of Marietta,
was killed by bolt of lightning dur
ing this same storm. No other dam
age was done on the farm.
Lightning also struck the barn of
Mr.. Jodie Haney, who lives in Merritts
district and fire followed that de-
stroyed the structure and burned a
COW and mule in the barn.
Other damage over the county is re-
ported, but the details cannot be
learned as we go to press.

WOULD LET WOMEN
VOTE FOR PRESIDENT

Before the capital removal bill was
taken up in the house on Thursday a
number of bills were introduced.
Among them was bill by Represen-
tative Covington, of Colquitt county,
to authorize women to vote for pres
idential electors in Georgia. This
bill does not propose to amend the
constitution, but proposes strictly to
give the women this right by legis-
lative enactment. Representative
Covington contends that this can be
done. The bill is put up as a sort
OF substitute for the Susan B. An
thony amendment, which, it is con-
ceded, cannot be passed at this SEES
sion.

Current Events

Atlanta is passing through her an
nual ice famine. Representatives OF
the ice companies were called for a
consultation with Mayor Key We'd
nesday. The ice men claim that the
heavy demand for ice to ship to South
Georgia for preserving the peach crop
is the cause of the famine. Mayor
Kew had made a request that they
consider the wants of the city con-
sumers first Marietta is an icing sta
ton for a number of peach shippers,
but up to this time the local plant has
not had any trouble in supplying the
demand.
The Capital removal row has about
subsidized. Macon has about decided
that it is folly to try to haul the capt.
tol so far down state. The removal
bill was tabled in the Senate Tuesday,
but Atlanta followers are fighting to
keep out further delay in the House.
A novel plan of BODYBUILDING has
been undertaken in the city of Savan-
nah by Mayor Stewart. The plan OF
a newly organized syndicate is to ac-
ouire sites and build homes for reli-
able persons upon very small initial
pavment and low interest and small
payments on the balance. The funds
to carry on this work is being raised
bv popular subscription, and it IS
hoped by the officials in charge to
raise at least one million dollars. This
is one way in which every city can
build more homes and bring more re-
liable people into their city who want
to own their homes but do not have
the necessary capital with which to
purchase one outright.
Two hundred enemy aliens were re-
leased from Fort Oglethorpe this
week. Among them was Count James
Minotto, the son-in-law OF Louis
Swift, the Chicago meat packer.
Reports from Washington to the eff
feet that Postmaster General Burle-
son was about to resign, are said to
be untrue and absolutely without
Foundation. The Postmaster General
had a conference with the President
on Tuesday and all friction seems to
have been removed in the postotfice
department.
Mail service between the United
States and Germany has been resumed
according to advises from Washing
ton. Mail matter addressed to any
portion of Germany now will be ae-
cepted under the same rate and I'M
der the same regulations as apply to
mail to other European countries. As
direct steamship service has not been
established between this country and
Germany, mail win be sent by way
of Holland, Norway and Denmark.

Data Gathered During
Iransc0ntinental Air
Derby Prove Valuable

the transcontinental air race, which
has just been completed. can be taken
as a forerunner Of what we may ex.
pect in the way OF aIrplane transpor
tation, then municipal landing fields
will be as big an asset to the large
cities as are it's railroad terminals
and steamship harbors.
The experiences of the contestants
in this race were many and varied.
The humorous and serious incidents
in connection with the first coast to
coast air derby were unique and un.
usual and the lessons learned by tho
pilots and race officials could never
be secured by reading books, and will
be invaluable when the next contest
Of similar nature Is held.
F. G. Diffin. president of the Unit
ed Aircraft Engineering Corporation
Of New York, has made a careful sur
vey of the results of the race with a
view of submitting recommendation
TO Washington which will be of value
in determining a basis for a separate
air service department. Such a de-
partment will do more than any other
one thing to keep the pilots together

modern type ships and promote COM
mercial aviation and civilian flying.
The results of the transcontinental
air derby have proved conclusively
that we can no more estimate the ac-
complishments of the airplane five
years from now than we could have
predicted in 1915 the important par,
aircraft played in the worlds war.

ROYAL GARAGE

The shortage Of suitable automo-

In the Washington district has been
the sourse OF considerable incon-
venience to automobile owners for
several years. Garage facilities have
