CLARKE LIBRARY BIG SUCCESS
AS FREE PUBLIC INSTITUTION
Librarians Report of First Thirty
Days Service is Gratifying
To People.

Miss Porter, the librarian of the
Clarke Library made report to the
directors of the library last week in
which the activities of the library
under free service to the public for
the first month was reviewed.
The report is self explanatory and
needs no comment to show that the
library under the new system has
been splendid success and is rapidly
becoming great asset to the people
Of Marietta.
A meeting Of the board will be
called for the first Thursday in the
month and the library will be kept in
best possible condition for service.
Miss Porter's report to the direc-
tors was as follows:
On October 10Th the Clarke Lib
rary became free to the public.
have asked the privilege of address
ing you this evening for the purpose
of reviewing what has been done
from that date to November Both.
inclusive, and to suggest what, in the
present circumstances, seems the best
policy in order to increase the growth
of the library toward what it should
represent in the city's life.
From October goth through Nov
ember Both we registered 358 Dor
rowers and circulated 1919 books.
These figures, based on a population
Of 5000, indicate a yearly circula-
ton of 10000 books approximate
ly), which would be 3 1-3 volumes
per capita. This is not enough. 1t
is far below the average, some lib
raries running as high as to IA
volumes per capita.
To continue our report Of work
done-we responded to Al requests
for information; inaugurated a story
hour, which averaged an attendance
of 40; and observed the National
Children's Book Week by co-opera-
ton with the local book store, distri-
button of posters and by articles in
our local newspapers. This Book
Week is observed annually by lib
raries, publishers and booksellers
with view to stimulating interest
in children's reading.
The above results have been made
possible by the whole-hearted sup
port of the Georgia Library Commits
sion, represented by Miss Charlotte
Templeton, secretary; by the gener-
Gus aid of local women's organiza-
tons; by the liberal and consistently
constructive attitude of the two local
newspapers; the cooperation of the
local book store; the interest shown
by the teachers; and last, but very

NEGRO CAUGHT IN ACT
ROBBING LOCAL STORE
Policeman Grower and Latimer
Make Arrest in the EARLY
Hours Tuesday.

Tuesday morning about one-thirty
Police P. M. Grower and Policeman
Latimer arrested Lon Williams, a
Marietta negro, in the act of robbing
Anderson Bros. store on Whitlock
avenue.
The police were on night duty and
were making their rounds when their
attention was attracted to the store
by he light being turned off, which
usually burns all night in the store.
The men made an investigation and
found a back window open. Police
man Grower entered the store thru
the window and then opened a door
to let Policeman Latimer come in.
The negro had locked himself in
the wash room in the rear of the
store and the officers had to prize the
door open to make the arrest. Will
liams had robbed the cash register of
few dollars and had filed his peck
cts with watches, combs, thread and
other small articles. He was placed
in the county jail where he will await
trial in court.
At first it was thought he had two
or more confederates on the outside
waiting with an automobile, but an
investigation seems to disprove of
this rumor.

The last five named are the buyers
of Marietta and their books show a
total of cotton sales in Marietta UP
to Monday Of this week of only 1884
bales of cotton. 1t is thought that this
is perhaps twice as much as has been
marketed at other points in the coun-
ty, hence if the crop should turn out
as much as 1880 bales It would
mean that about ten thousand bales
remain unsold.
The general average of the esti-
mates would have it that the crop is
about 1860 bales, while the gener-
al average of the estimates Of unsold
cotton is sc per cent of this crop,
which would be 5000 bales, and
there are many reasons for believing
this to be about the correct figure.
A considerable part of the crop is
in warehouses of the county and on
this some money has been borrowed
of the banks, while many farmers
still owe their store accounts, and re-
fuse to sell any cotton, although not
large, the multiplicity of such past
due bills give the merchants much
concern.
Even at the present price it would
appear that Cobb County farmers
are holding nearly three quarters of
a million dollars worth of cotton.
The farmer who neglected to put
enough of his farm in feed stuff to
take care of his family and stock is
Tearing a valuable though severe les
son right now, and the merchants
will be forced to literally "carry"
these through another year.
1t would seem time to devote a
bit more time to the pillow and less
to politics and petitions to the gov
eminent, if the country is to pass
safely through the presenst crisis.

GOVERNOR WILL NOT
CALL EXTRA SESSION.

Some time ago the announcement
was made that the governor would
call the legislature into extra session
to consider affairs Of vital Importance
to the state, but it is now given out
that the session will not be called,
other ways of meeting immediate
necessities having been provided, and
the expense of an extra sission at
this time not being considered as be-
ing warranted.

BIG MILL CUTS WAGES
BUT RUNS FULL TIME

The Trion Cotton Mills near Rome
started operating full time this week
on a reduction Of forty percent on
wages of two thousand employees.
For some time this mill has operat-

stated that the operatives chose the
full time operation with the reduction
named rather than remain idle so

ROTARIANS HOLD VERY
INTERESTING MEETING
Splendid Report Given by Clarke
Librarian. Mr.. Geo. H. Sessions
Addresses Club.

The Marietta Rotary Club held
one of the most interesting meetings
of the year at the local golf club
Wednesday afternoon. Practically
all of the club members were present
at the meeting to ear the report of
the librarian of Clarke Library for
the first 80 days of operation under
the free library system, and to hear
the splendid talk of Mr.. Geo. H. SEES
sions on industries of Georgia.
Miss Porter gave an interesting
review of the work of the library and
the Rotarians were we'll pleased with
the showing made by the institution
the first month. Miss Porter was
thanked for her efficient service in
the library.
Mr.. George H. Sessions, cashier of
The Marietta Trust & Banking Com
pany, who was one of the 1877 bust
ness men of Georgia to go on the
Tech Industrial tour of the north
and east, was invited to address the
Rotary club and made an excellent
talk to the men of the club.
Mr.. Sessions reviewed his trip to
the different industrial centers and
told of the numerous Georgia pro-
ducts that were used by northern
manufacturers and resold to Geor-
gians at big profits. He appealed to
the men of Georgia to wake to the
big possibilities that lie dormant at
our doors and showed how Georgia
could become the leading Industrial
state of the Union by manufacturing
her raw materials.
Mr.. Sessions talk was very in
structive and much useful informa-
ton was given the members of the
club about industrial conditions in
Georgia, as we'll as in other states.
Mr.. Sessions talk was cordially re-
ceived by the Rotarians and he was
given a standing vote of thanks when
he had finished.
Short talks were made by different
Rotarians in response to both Miss
Porter's report and to Mr.. Sessions
Tx.
Mr.. Guy Northcutt made the an
nouncement to the club that the tour
of Georgia, which is to be made by
prominent Georgia citizens, together
with some of those who when on the
northern tour, will arrive in Marietta
on January 10 for the first stop.
The special train will visit all the
towns of Importance in the state.
Several Marietta citizens have been
invited to make the tour. A delega-
ton of Marietta citizens will meet
the train in Marietta and entertain
the tourists while they are here.
