AROUND THE CIRCLE

President Wilson and party are off
on trip around the circle" of the
country. The president goes to pre-
sent his views of the peace treaty and
the league of nations to the people
directly. He thinks that the senate
should ratify the work of the peace
conference at once and that without
reservations, which would be the
means Of opening up many perplexlng
questions again that had been tempo
rarily settled by the conference.

COUNTY TAX RATE Is
FIXED AT TEN MILLS
State Will Need the Limit, Which il
Fixed by the Constitution
at Five Mills

At the meeting of the county com
missioners on Tuesday, the county tax
lew for 1919 was fixed at ten mills,
the same as last year, and as the state
will need every cent it can get this
year, the state rate may be stated now
as five mills, the constitutional limit.
This will make the total rate for 1919
only fifteen mills, which is as low as
any county in the state and far under
the rate of most of the counties.
Our commissioners are to be con-
graduated upon the economical and
conservative administration of the az
fairs of the county, during these years
of exceedingly high prices.
The matter of the application OF the
$40, 900 awarded Cobb county by the
government for road work was taken
up, and the refusal of the government
to allow a change of the road was dis
cussed. The award was made to ap-
ply on the Atlanta road south OF Ma
rietta, but the commissioners had ask
ed that it be put on the Marietta
Cherokee and the Marietta-Dallas
roads, which change was denied by the
authorities. 1t was therefore voted
to apply the amount, with the like
amount to be furnished by the county
on the Atlanta road, starting at the
end of the newly-built road at Far
Oaks, and building the same type OF
road on as far as the money Will pay
for.
This is estimated to give road as
far as Smyrna that will be first class
constructed on the Lindley SYSTEM
with 81 inches of asphalt top.
The contract for county supplies for
the month was awarded to Fowler
Brothers, while the hardware contract
went to Schilling for the month.
Much of the day was spent by the
commissioners hearing and passing on
drainage classiications of the Noses
Creek project.
The matter of road bond election
was not further gone into at this
meeting. A full attendance of the
commissioners was recorded and con-
siderable routine work of little gen.
eral interest transacted.

SCHOOLS START WITH
A LARGER ATTENDANCE
Open With 1887 Pupils First Day
This Year Against Only
ga Last Year

Marietta Public Schools were open
ed on Monday with record attendance.
In the High School 202 pupils were
registered, while the grammar school
grades had 885 pupils the first morn
ing.
This makes a total of 1887 or 143
more than started last year. Of the
grammar grades 214 are quartered in
the Haynes street school while GIL are
reported from the Waterman street
school.
We have previosulX reported the
names of all the teachers in charge OF
the various grades and will not repeat
it here.
At the Haynes street school the
chapel was crowded for the opening
exercises at 9 o'clock Monday. A
number of visitors were present but
it was plainly evident that the high
school can not be seated in the chapel
without adding more chairs.
A prayer by DR.. White and the
singing of the Battle Hymn of the
Republic opened the exercises. Super
intendent Dumas followed with a
short talk welcoming the new primer
and teachers and explaining some OF
the difficulties to be met in the or
ganization of the classes.
Col. Boston, DR.. White and Mr.
Claiborne all made interesting short
addresses, while songs were sung by
Miss Muriel Williams and Miss Sara
Patton.
Prof. ]. A. Tolbert, the new princi-
pal and teachers and explaining some
that elected the favor and applause
Of students and visitors before the
school was dispersed to the class
rooms.
Lack of funds to supply ample room
in the schools is one of the difficulties
under which our school board labors'
lust as our city is hampered by lack
Of homes to house would-be citizens
Still the schools are beginning a
most suspicious year, and we must
look to our people to supply IN some
way the means to go ahead with eN-
tension and improvement.
Cooperation was one of the key
notes in the talks of the various
sneakers. and we trust we shall have
more of this in the future between
pupils, parents, teachers, board ano
citizens generally.

-FOUR ESCAPE DEATH
BY NARROW MARGIN
Train Smashes into Automobile on
Crossing at Marietta, Throwing
Occupants into the Ditch

Just after ten o'clock last Monday
morning as the N. C. & st. L. passen-
ger train was pulling out of Marietta
for Atlanta, an automobile going out
Atlanta street ran upon the Butler
street crossing and stopped with the
front wheels of the car directly on the
track just in front of the approaching
engine. Although the train had not
yet attained full speed it was impos-
sible to check the speed quickly
enough to avert collision and the
car with it's four occupants were
thrown into the ditch beside the track
beyond the crossing.
The occupants of the car were Mrs.
S. r. C. Adams, of Senoia, Mrs. War
rem Baggerly, daughter OF Mrs.
Adams, Carolyn McHan, grandaugh-
ter of Mrs. Adams, and Glenn Brady,
of Jasper, Ca, driver of the car.
Brady was not seriously hurt, being
a little bruised and scratched by the
fall, but the others did not fare so
we'll. Mrs. Adams sustained num-
Der of severe cuts on her head and
face as did also her daughter, Mrs.
Baggerly, and the granddaughter, Car
olyn, had broken leg. All sustained
a number of bad bruises.
The injured were hurried to Nolan
Sanitarium as quickly as possible and
the two ladies and the little girl are
still there under treatment, but on
the road to recovery. Brady left for
his home in Jasper soon after the &C
cident. He was not clear in his state
ment as to how it happened, but there
were a number of witnesses, and 1t
was apparent that he discovered the
approach of the train too late to stop
and stalled his car on the track.
Mrs. Adams is the wife of Rev.
S. r. c.. Adams, who was pastor OF
the Baptist church in Marietta many
wears ago. He was at the time recup-
Grating in Jasper, Ca, and hurried to
the bedside of his wife and daughter
here, but has returned since they
were pronounced out of danger.
The accident was of the sort re-
corded daily in the papers-careIess
driver and grade crossing-and one IN
which the victims are fortunate to
have escaped with no more serious IN
juries.

CAR HITS INSANE MAN

In front of the south bound Atlanta
car on the electric line on Thursday
morning, George Templeton, an in
mate of the sanitarium at Greenwood,
deliberately knelt on the track and
was run over by the car, as it was too
close for the motorman to stop the
car. He sustained bad cash on the
head and many bruises, but at the
hour of our going to press on Thurs
day afternoon he was still alive but
the result of his injuries uncertain.

ALCOHOL GROWS ON TREES

Alcohol in these days has attention
from governments in diverse ways.
England has a committee studying
the possibilities of increasing the pro-

The opportunities discussed by the
committee are interesting. or course
potatoes, artichokes and cereals
came in for attention. But 1T seems
there are less known sources of
alcohol. For example, there is the
flower of the mahua tree, which
flourishes in Hyderabad and the

when sun-dried, contains so per
