DRAINAGE CONTRACT
LET-ANOTHER SOON

On Tuesday, in accordance with ad-
vertisement, sealed bids were opened
in the Office of Joe Abbott, for the ex-
cavation work on the canal known as
Powder Springs Drainage District
No. 2, of Cobb county.
There were four bids received,
three from contractors elsewhere, and
one from N. M. Morris, of this coun-
ty, the bids being per cubic yard OF
earth removed as follows: one at
1885, one at 1875, one at .1345, and
one at .1140.
The bid of .1140 was made by Mr..
Morris and he will receive the con-
tract. The price for the removal OF
rock is to be $3.50 per cubic yard.
The amount of earth estimated for
removal is 100000 cubic yards, so the
contract will approximate $4,000
very little rock is thought to be there.
The date for beginning the work has
not vet been set but it will probably
be sixty or ninety days yet.
This is the second drainage project
for Cobb county, the first having been
nut through last spring in time to
raise crops on much of the reclaimed
lands.
Another drainage project is in pro-
cess of organization, known as the
Noses Creek District No. g. This pro-
iect has passed to stage where any
objections are offered, the commits
sioners in Tuesdays meeting having
received the final report of the board
of viewers, and passed upon same.
The complete success of the first
project in this county has been en-
couraging, and we feel sure that many
other counties would find canals most
profitable.
Mr.. Joe Abbott has been the attorn-
ey for all the projects in this county,
and in a recent interview he admit
ted that it was probably lack of
general understand of the drainage
law that has kept many from taking
advantage of it.
We have often wondered why work
so beneficial to so many is being over
looked by so many sections.

CITY MOURNS DEATH
OF JAMES o. HARDIN

Mr.. James o. Hardin, 81 years
old died at Davis-Fischer Sanitarium
in Atlanta on Thursday night, fol-
lowing an operation for appendicitis.
The funeral services were conducted
from the residence of his mother-ln-
law. Mrs. A. Reynolds, on Powder
Springs street, the Rev. R. R. Clal-
borne officiating. Lead Kindly
Light" and "Nearer My God to Thee"
were the hymns sung by Miss Virginia
Crosby, Mrs. C. T. Nolan, Mr.. d. q.
Cole and Mr.. Sylvester.
The interment was in the Citizens
Cemetery, the pall-bearers being
Messrs. Edward Hook, E. H. Ginn'
Arthur Redding, Alfred Wilson,
James Wardlaw, and Robert Barn
well, of Atlanta, and N. K. Smith
and Ralph Northcutt of Marietta.
Mr.. Hardin is survived by his young
wife, who was Miss Elizabeth Rey-
nolds, an infant son; sister, Mrs.
Will Goodman, of Knoxville; and four
brothers, Archdeacon W. H. Hardin,
of Salisbury, N. c.; E. ]. Hardin, OF
Cazewell, Tenn; Walter Hardin, OF
Waynesville, N. c.; and T. H. Hardin
of Knoxville, Tenn.
No young man in Marietta had a
brighter future than did "Jim" Hard
in. A graduate of the University OF
Tennessee, he had risen steadily IN his
profession, and brilliant career was
predicted for him.
He first came to Atlanta from
Knoxville, Tenn. as valued employe
of the General Electric Company;
then for four years he was Electrical
Engineer for the Ga. Railway and
Power Co.; and eight months ago he
was made Consulting Engineer for
the Southern branch of Lockwood,
Green, and Co. Each of these firms
sent magnificent floral offerings to be
placed on his casket, besides which
were handsome pieces from the ern-
pIoyees of the different organiza-
tons, and quantities of most beauti-
full flowers from scores of personal
friends.
Mr.. Hardin was born in Morgan
ton, N. c., in 1888. In November,
1914 he was married to Miss Eliza
beth Reynolds, and has lived in Ma
rietta ever since.
In spite of his youth he has been
a leading figure in st. James Episco-
pal Church, and has been vestry.
man for several years. He has been
a power for good in both Church
and community, and his influence for
the best has ever been felt by all
who came in contact with him, either
in business or social life. 1t sounds
trite to say that he numbered his

GOOD ROADS AND
COTTON DISCUSSED

Tuesday was big day in Mariet-
ia, if we may it big on account of the
number of people in town. Certainly
more people came to town on that
day than any other day for a long
time.
But we are sorry to say that not
nearly all of them availed themselves
of the opportunity of attending the
meeting and hearing the addresses in
the Court House.
The object of this meeting was at
least three sided. Good Roads, the
formation of County Council of the
Ga. State Chamber of Commerce,
and cotton.
Possibly the last named was upper
cost in the minds of the greater num-
Der present, but the other subjects
were discussed and received share
of the general attention.
The meeting was presided over by
Hon. John p Cheney, and the speak
ers during the meeting were, C. C.
Kirkpatrick, Field Representative of
the Georgia Auto Association, H. G.
Hastings, President of the Georgia
State Chamber of Commerce, Wylie
West, and w. J. Rudland, General
Secretary for Georgia State Chamber
of Commerce.
All of these gentlemen made rous-
s ing speeches, and we feel safe in as
serting that they made converts to
the Chamber of Commerce idea. 1t
was conceded that County Council
would be of great service in Cobb,
and while no organization was attempt
ed at this meeting an invitation was
extended to the state secretary to
come to Cobb and assist in the for
nation of such council.
Many farmers pledged support to
the measure, and it is known that a
majority of the town folks would give
it their cheerful support. A date was
not set for organization, it being left
to the secretary to arrange the most
suitable time for himself.
The taking of personal pledges will
be the first step toward an organiza-
ton, and this might take several days,
but it is believed and hoped that a
large and active membership may be
secured.

RESOLUTION PASSED
BY COBB FARMERS

At a largely attended meeting OF
the farmers last Tuesday the below
resolution was passed. This action
was taken as an endorsement of the
organization last week of the Cobt
County Marketing Board at which
Hon. John P. Cheney was elected tc
head 60 day campaign to be active
ly carried on in this county advocat-
ing a cut of Que third in the cotton
acreage.
We, the farmers of Cobb coun-
ty, this day assembled in mass
meeting, believing that our cot
ton, if sold at the present time,
would bring a price below the
cost of production, and that If
we plant in the cotton section for
the present year a large crop OF
cotton, that it also would have to
be sold below the cost of pro-
duction, and believing that such
a state of affairs would be ruin
Gus to the farmers themselves,
and also the business interests
of the South;
Therefore, be it resolved, that
we use our utmost endeavor to
encourage our farmers to de-
crease their cotton acreage to be
planted during this year at least
twenty-five per cent; also that
we earnestly urge upon our
farmers to plant sufficient
amount of food crops for both
man and beast, so that we WI
not have to depend at all upon
outside sources for our supplies
in Cobb county.
Resolved, further, that we call
upon all other counties of the
cotton belt to organize and stick
together until we finally whip
the fight and save the future OF
our Southland.

will see that the members of THEN
committees get them. We especially
urge that this work be taken up and
completed at once, as it is highly i'm
portant to us all. Let every farmer
who grows cotton be given an oppor-
tunity to sign one of these pledge
cards, stating that he will agree to
reduce his cottn acreage at least a
third, and impress upon him that upon
his pledge and a strict compliance OF
the same depends our future prosper
ity-depends not only the price OF
the cotton we now have on hand, but
also that of this years crop. The next
sixty days will tell the tale.
The Southern farmer-the cotton
farmer-will during these sixty days,
shape his own destiny and either make
or unmake himself.

SALARY OR FEES FOR
SOLICITOR GENERAL

A matter of more than passing in
terest to the people of the Blue Ridge
Circuit, during the session of the leg
islature last summer, was the bill
placing the Solicitor General of the
circuit upon a salary.
The bill was introduced by Hon.
John P. Cheney, Of Cobb, and it was
claimed by its advocates at the time
that it would reduce the cost of
court to the counties, and simplify
accounts.
The bill provided that the salary
should be $3.50 allowed by the state,
$4,000 provided by the counties of the
district. 1t further provided that this
should be paid by the counties, with
population as basis of determining
the sum to be paid by each county.
Under this plan Cobb would pay
about one third of the sum.
Some fees were also allowed for
service in state courts and for validat-
ing bond issues in addition to the
salary.
At the time the bill was under
consideration in the legislature, we
called attention to the fact that there
was apparently a constitutional OBJ
stacle to the operation of the plan, as
there was no way for the counties to
raise money for such purpose.
In fact it was pointed out that =
was clearly counter to the constItu-
tional provision for the raising OF
funds by counties.
The bill passed however, and was
signed by Gov. Dorsey. According to
it's terms it should have become oper-
alive on January 1st, 1919.
At the time of it's passage +. H.
CLAW was solicitor general OF the CIR
cult, but upon his resignation, some
time afterward, Hon. John Dorsey
was appointed to succeed him and is
at this time the solicitor general.
An interview with Solicitor Dorsey
this week discloses the fact that the
office is still operating under the ola
fee system, and is taking no cognl-
zance of the new law of 1918.
No decision of court as to the
validity of the new law has ever been
rendered, and We are not prepared 10
say as to which cause is right, or.
which is wrong, but it is evident that
the situation has "put it up" to the
solicitor general as to the proper
course to pursue.
We understand that the solicitor
of the Cherokee Circuit was also put
upon a salary" in the same manner
by the same legislature, but just what
they are doing about it over there
we do not know
We have no criticism to make OF
any one in the matter, but feel that
many will be interested in knowing
of the peculiar situation that EXISTS
