COUNCIL, NOT LEAGUE,
IS THE VOTING BODY
The Power of Great Britain and the
United States the Same In
League of Nations.

President Wilson in a western
speech calls attention to the efforts
of enemies of the league of nations
to misrepresent the powers Of nations
in that body. They keep repeating
the statement that Great Britain will
have six times as much power or
votes in the league of nations, as the
United States.
Mr.. Wilson explains why this is not
true. 1t is the council of nations, in
which Great Britain, the United
States, France, Italy and Japan, each
have just one vote, which controls
all action Mr. Wilson justly de-
scribes the membership in the league
as the debating society. ~
Great Britain's six members are
from Canada, Australia, India, Afri-
can Colonies, and the British Isles.
We might claim Cuba as ours and
Panama. They have representatives,
but no power. The power is in the
council and action there must be I'M
animous, so why shrek about Brit
aims six votes to our one?
at sticks in the craw of a great
many persons" says the president,
"that in the constitution of the league
of nations as it is, Great Britain has
been given six votes and the United
States only one. Well, now, that
would be very interesting, if true,
but it does not happen to be true;
that is to say, it is not true in this
sense, that the one American vote
counts as much as the British six.
"In the first place they have not
got six votes in the council of the
league, which is the only body that
originates action, but in the assembly
of the league, which is the debating
and not the voting body. And every
time the assembly participates in any
active resolution of the league that
resolution must be concurred in by
all the nations represented on the
council, which make the affirmative
vote of the United States in every in
stance necessary. The six votes of
the British empire cannot do any
thing to which the United States does
not consent.
'No, / am mistaken, there is one

FIRST NATIONAL DEPOSITS
NEARING MILLION DOLLARS

The Comptroller of the Currency,
several times a year, calls upon the
national banks Of the country for a
detailed sworn statement of the con-
dition of the national banks, and this
is required to be published for the
benefit of the public.
These statements may be called for
at any time, and are for the additional
safety of the banks, although it also
gives those banks which are the
soundest and best, an opportunity to
advise the public of their condition,
and not charged with Boosting.
We publish elsewhere in this issue
a condensed statement of the condl-
ton of The First National Bank of
Marietta. of date Sept. 18th, and it
warrants at least feeling of pride in
the officers of that institution.
In it also, is reflected the pros
porous condition of the community,
for the increase in deposits in one
year is nearly two hundred thousand
dollars, and we are advised that the
average deposit balance at this time
is about fifty thousand more than ap-
pears on the particular date on which
this statement was called. 1t is free
~ predicted by many that the deposits
viii pass the million dollar mark be-
fore the end of the year.

A PROGRESSIVE FIRM
AND WORTHY ENTERPRISE

The Sessions Loan & Trust Com
pany is a great business, the extent
of which is not fully realized at home,
although many of our people are US
ing the Sessions plan Of saving to ad--
vantage.
In this issue appears a page adver-
tisement of this progressive company,
and also another advertisement of a
prize offer by this company for the
best articles on thrift and saving. A
number of prizes are offered, and the
subject and it's motive is worthy of
the attention and approval Of every
one.
Locally, Mr.. Sessions and his as
sociates are so well and favorably
known that any words of commenda-
ton from us are superfious, but it
gives US pleasure to give prominence
to their plans for the promotion of
saving.
We should be glad to publish the
letters of the prize winners in this
contest, for they will certainly be con-
ducive to the promotion of thrift.

RATIFICATION ELECTION
WILL Be IN NOVEMBER
Jim Brumby's Friends Say He Will
Be Qualified Before The Pri-
mary In December

The--outcome of the injunction
which stopped the city election on
September 10, will be to hold the
outlying election in November, after
tie registration books whic opened
on September Is and close Novem-
Der 1st shall have been purged by
the registrars.
This is the claim of the mayors
friends who say that not only viii
the election to qualify him be held,
but that he will be stronger than
ever after the new registration. They
say that the primary in December
will be held as usual, but that the
mayor will be qualified before it is
held, and will have complied with
all requirements of the law.
An article in the Atlanta Georgian
one day last week, stated that the
decision of the court would bar the
mayor out of the race, but this was in
error, the decision specifically barring
only the election on Sept. 10 while
there is still time to call one in No
vember which will be done, no doubt.
The registration books of the city
are now open at the police head
quarters in the court house and will
remain open until the first of Novem-
Der.

SOLD HIS FARM BUT
IS STILL A FARMER
Man Who Took Prizes at Fairs for
Cobb County, Can Not
Give Up Farming.

Cobb County has taken the prize at
many fairs in recent years, and one
reason alone provided or secured most
of the exhibits.
From his big farm at Belmont on
the Atlanta road, Mr.. j. Gid Morris
has year after year sent out some of
the finest farm products ever raised
in Cobb County, which means the
finest ever raised in Georgia. Re
Gently he sold his farm, but when he
gives it up we predict that he will
get another, for he just can not give
up farming. He must see the green
growing.
He has a special acre of cotton
growing at his home at Belmont, of
which he is very proud and which
looks like two-bale acre. He is ask
ing his friends to guess how much
cotton it will grow, and we print be-
low letter just received from him.

Although / have sold out, and am
to quit farming for the time being,

cotton now growing at Belmont l be-
lieve the best variety have ever

MAN OF PROMINENCE
GETS GANG SENTENCE

Judge w. E. Searcy, Jr., in court
at Forsyth last week created some
CONSERVATION in the ranks of whisky
advocates when he gave man OF
some prominence a chain-gang SEN
tence.
Judge Searcy sentenced him to IL
months on the chain-gang and three
months in Jail, the gang sentence to
be suspended upon payment of $500.
A petition was circulated and nu-
merously signed by some of the most
prominent prohibition advocates of
the town asking the court to be more
lenient. Judge Searcy not only turn
ed deaf ear to the plea, but ordered
the names on the petition recorded IN
the court records.
This is the kind of justice which
will help to uproot the business of
whisky selling and whisky making in
the state.

SUBURBAN CAR KILLS
WOMAN AT GILMORE
Fatal Accident When Aged Woman
Fails To Get Of The Track
On Approach of Car

Mrs. w. A. Babb was run over and
killed by a Marietta-bound interbur-
ban car at Gilmore at II 80 o'clock
Wednesday. Mrs. Babb was standing
on the track in front of the home of
her son-in-law, James Cook, an At
lanta salesman, with whom she made
her home, and for some reason did
not get off the track when the motor
man blew his whistle as the ar round
ed a curve. Passengers on the car
were of the opinion that Mrs. Babb
was hard of hearing and did not hear
the warning, and that the motorman
took for granted she would get off the
track. The car ran some distance be-
fore it could be stopped, and the body
was badly mutilated.
The car was in charge of conduc-
tor j. A. Couch and motorman w.
w. Walker. Mr.. Walker says he has
been running street cars for Fl years
and this is his first fatal accident.
Mrs. Babb, who was about SO years
old, had planned to move to Atlanta
soon to make her home with an un-
married daughter. Her husband, Rev.
w. A. Babb, died last fall.
The funeral service was conducted
at Gilmore on Thursday afternoon
by Rev. F. NJ. Jackson and Rev. j. W.
Ham, and the burial was at Kenne-
saw. Mrs. Babb leaves four daughters
and two sons.
