FINANCING FLORIDA
FARMERS DISCUSSED
Representatives of Sessions Loan &
Trust Co., of Georgia, Met IN
Mason Hotel

That Cobb county and Cobb county
institutions are known and recognized
far beyond the borders of our coun-
ty and state, is a well known fact,
but it is with pardonable pride that
we reproduce the article below from
the Jacksonville Times-Union, which
appeared on the occasion of a re-
cent meeting of the representatives
of the Sessions Loan and Trust Co.
in the city of Jacksonville.
The article is as follows
Financing Florida farmers under
reasonable conditions and at the same
time intoxicating new and practical
means for systematic saving, were the
two subjects discussed yesterday at
the second days conference of rep
resentatives of the Sessions Loan and
Trust Company of Marietta, Ca, in
the Hotel Mason.
President Moultrie M. Sessions pre-
sided, and answered great variety
of questions concerning the compa-
ny's methods, successes and expert
ences throughout the thirty-two-yea1
period of it's existence, as mortgage
banking institution.
AS to the systematic saving feature
of the Sessions company, the accumu,
lative bond plan was discussed from
every viewpoint by Mr.. Sessions and
the representatives present from the
various states, all of whom spoke with
enthusiasm of the plan and of thei1
experiences in placing the bonds as
a means of systematic saving of mon
ey.
Among those who spoke were Johr
w. Bobbitt, division agent for Flori
da; Louis B. Farley, Alabama divis
ion agent; Capt. ]. R. Watson, divis
ion sales manager for the Boston di
vision, Boston, Mass, and Altor
Gliedman, manager Of the bond de

Mr. CORYELL HAS A
SERIOUS ACCIDENT

Mr.. Howard Coryell attempted to
alight from a moving car on Allan
ia street on Saturday evening, and
had the misfortune to fall on the
pavement breaking his hip.
The car was the one arriving from
Atlanta at 10 o'clock in the evening
and slowed down only in front of the
postofice.
The conductor noticed his APP
proach toward the steps, but he
made no sign of desiring to get off
at the postoffice stop, the conductor
considered 1t only a part Of the usu.
al general movement Of passengers
toward the door as the car approached
the court house station.
Not realizing the speed of the car,
Mr.. Coryell stepped off and lost his
footing and fell heavily. He was
hurried to Nolan's sanitarium at once
and given attention. At this writing
he is still confined to his bed in the
sanitarium, but is improving, and his
friends wish for him speedy recov-
cry.

CLOTHES MINUS BOY
BOY MINUS CLOTHES

Some young people at a moonlight
picnic at the lake in the club grounds
one night recently discovered full
suit of small boys clothing on the
bank of the lake.
AS some hundred boys had been
bathing in the lake that afternoon,
it was at once a conviction in the
minds of the young people that some
boy had been drowned and had not
been missed. Immediately the police
were notified and the phones were
busy. There was nothing about the
clothes to establish identity so a
round of the homes of small boys was
started.
Then about the time the case as
sumed it's most serious aspect the
owner of the clothes was discovered.
1t was boy who was taking a night
plunge in the lake, and had been
chased off, minus his clothes by the
approach of the picnic crowd.

SURPLUS ARMY STORES
OF FOOD WILL Be SOLD
DIRECT TO THE PEOPLE
Government Agents Trail
the Pro6teers
United Efforts of the Government are
Being Directed to Relieve the Food
Situation and Reduce the High Cost
of Living.

Not only will the surplus food stuffs
purchased for army use and being
held by the war department be put
on the market through every availa-
BILE channel, but competition in prices
will be met by the government.
In Atlanta the Rogers chain OF
stores and nearly all the other gro
GERS will handle at retail at ten per
cent above the wholesale cost prices,
and arrangements are being made all
over the country to have either mu-
inequalities or corporations to handle
the goods.
City papers already report a fall
in food prices generally, and it is
probable that the sale of all these sur
plus army stores of food will have
lasting effect on the markets.
So far as we can learn there will
be none of these goods handled in
Marietta.
The activities of the government
agents in the seizure of cold storage
supplies, where they have been found
| in quantities indicating violation OF
the food control law, has also had
some effect on the market.
The chase of the profiteers in food
supplies is probably based upon the
same law passed in August 1917 and
| it is thought that the prosecution Oh
number of these cases will be ben
eficial.
There can be little doubt that the
president is in earnest in his state
ment that the high cost of living must
be reduced, and that he will back
up the officials of the various depart
ments in the active prosecution Of
hoarders and profteers.
The dispatches of the day indicate
considerable activity along these
lines. In Chattanooga yesterday a.
600 dozen eggs were seized, by agents
of the department of justice, from the
cold storage plant Of the Atlantic and
Coal Company. The eggs were said
to be held by Morris and Company,
packers of Chicago. .G.--~~~'
In Binghamton, New York, a deal
err was fined the sum of $500 for sell
ing sugar at Is cents per pound. 1t
is possible that some of these fines
or seizures may not stand under the
law, but it is certain that the action
of the department Of justice in these
cases will make the holding of food
for the purpose of profteering, both
unpopularsand Improbable.

Monday nights session of the P0-
lice Court gave proof that the crime
wave has passed over the city and
the little village is again operating
on a peace time basis.
Only eight cases were tried in the
Mayors Court Monday night. These
were all minor cases for speeding,

ADJOURNED TERM OF
COURT FOR SEPT. 1ST,
A Number of Jail Cases, Three OF
Them Felony Cases, to
Be Tried

The July term of Cobb Superior
Court was adjourned until the first
Monday in September on account OF
a number of cases being represented
by Messrs. Gordon Gam and Marion
Dobbs, both of whom were members
of the legislature then in session.
Since the last term a number OF
important felony cases have been
added to the docket, and more time
than was expected may be taken uT
with this session.
Among these cases are two murder
cases and one forgery case. Henry
Robertson, colored, will be charged
with the murder of Miss Julia Green,
and Ed Walker, colored, will face a
murder charge for killing Jessie John
son, a young negro woman of Ken
nesaw.
o. H. Bruce, white, will answer a
charge of forgery, various checks ag-
gregating $4,000 being denied by J.
H. Bruce, against whose account they
appear to have been drawn.
Jake Daniels, colored, will be tried
for stealing an automobile from a To-
cal garage. He hid it in the woods
and confded the sale or disposition
of the car to a friend, who turned
him up to the officers!
A list of the petit jurors drawn for
this term appear on another page

CampbeH Gone
Meier to Return

The Campbells are gone-to stay,
we hope, away from Cobb county in
future. We speak of Mrs. Naomi
Campbell and her husband, of orphans
home fame, who did so much to direct
unfavorable comment. at our county
during the last few months.
No, they have not gone to sum-
mer pleasure resort, unless the state
farm at Milledgeville could be so
termed, and we do not believe it ever
has. Mr.. Campbell, who is one
legged man, and thereby escaped the
changing service, was taken last
week, and Mrs. Campbell departed on
Wednesday in charge of deputy with
other prisoners for the state farm.
Mrs. Campbell had perhaps given
the sheriff more trouble than any re-
cent prisoner, as ne could never be
certain what she would try to do next.
She had been declaring that she would
never be taken to the farm-that she
would kill herself, and making various
other threats, but when the papers
were received on Wednesday, she was
given short notice to be ready, and
she gave no trouble whatever to the
officers.
She has two one-year sentences to
serve, while her husband was only
found guilty on one count, was given
one year.
Cobb county is no place for adven-
turers who risk violating the law for
profit, but every court finds us in
licted with some of this character.

Carnegie, ironmaster and philanthro-
pist, died today in his great mansion
overlooking a lake in the beautiful
Berkshire hills where he sought Sc
clusion when bodily infrmity over
took him and his mind was saddened
by the entrance of this country into
the world war.
Although he Mad been in feeble
health for more than two years, his
final illness was brief-a matter of
days. A severe cold developed into
bronchial pneumonia, the aged pa
tient lapsed into Inconsistencies and
the end came as of deeper sleep.

PAGEANT NOTES

No seats will be provided for per-
sons attending the Pageant so it is
advised that those who feel unable
to stand through the hour bring a
folding stool, automobile blanket
cushion, or whatever may suit their
fancy for making themselves COM
Portable.
Extra takes will be running, so it
is hoped all may find means of reach
ing the grounds.
Through some inadvertance the
name of Mrs. A. L. Dick as having
the Pageant work of Smyrna in hand,
was omitted last week from our notes,
for which we are very sorry. Smyrna,
through the past two years, has done
such splendid work and has been so
loyal, never flinching when called
upon, to be seemingly sighted. We
most humbly beg her pardon, and
only hope her dear girls will present
such a charming appearance when the
Pageant takes place that she will
have greater reason to be proud of
herself.
Through the courtesy of Major
General E. M. Lewis, of Camp Cor
don, their song leader, Mr.. Chas. P.
Morse, will lead the community sing
ing.
Col. B. M. Bailey has promised a
recruiting party, with special recruit
ing military features, together with
extra music, from Camp Gordon and
Fl. Mcpherson.
Recruiting for the hymns to be
sung at intervals through the Pa
geant is still going on. Mr.. Geo.
Beyearle will act as leader for these.
The picnic supper, which is to fol-
low the Pageant, we-hope all will be
interested in, and come with we'll
filled baskets. Marietta, as hostess
OF the occasion, OF course Will grasp
the opportunity to do her best.
The Board of Directors of the 7.

gan, together with their assistants,
Misses Weber, Brown and Mallard,

dist church.

donated funds for an orchestra for
the Pageant, and through this gen.
