FLOWERS TAKEN FROM
GRAVES IN CEMETERY

An act of vandalism of the worst
type was practiced this week when
some one robbed the graves in the
Episcopal cemetery of flowers placed
there by friends and relatives of the
dead.
One new grave in particular, was
decorated with a large number of
beautiful flowers and wreathes, and
these were stripped from the grave
and taken away, while flowers were
also taken from other graves.
How anyone with the spirit to ap-
preciate flower could be so debased
as to rob the dead, is beyond US, and
we are forced to conclude that the
flowers were taken to be sold.
A reward of ten dollars has been
offered for the detection of the guilty
parry in this particular case, and whe-
Their they are ever caught or not, it
should be part of their punishment
to feel that they are beneath the
scorn and contempt of all decent
civilized people.
One punishment for grave robbing
is to be grave-robber.

CONGRESSMAN LEE IS
TO HAVE OPPOSITION
Claude Porter Solicitor General OF
The Rome Circuit Says He
Will Be in the Race

Although he has not yet made the
official announcement, it is to be pre-
sumed that congressman Lee will ask
to be returned from the seventh dis
trict again, and while the announce
ment of any opponent has not been
officially made, we conclude from the
card below which we clip from the
Rome News, that Claude H. Porter,
now solicitor general of that circuit,
will make the race.
To the People of the Rome Circuit:
My term as solicitor general of this
circuit will expire with this year, and
want to thank you for the trust
imposed in me with the hope that
have rendered you that service which
you had right to expect. Whatever
degree of satisfaction I may have
given is due enirely to the co-opera-
ton of the people and the officials of
the circuit, and / want to especially
thank you and each of them for every
consideration shown and aid given
me. But for this cooperation, and
the active, energetic and efficient as
slstance given me by my assistant,
Eugene S. Taylor, I could not have
given you the service to which YOU
were entitled.
L have always believed strongly in
square deal to everyone You have
given me that an dnow I owe the
same to you. There are other ambi-
tious, capable and deserving men in
the circuit, more deserving, capable
and worthy than I, who are entitled
to the same opportunity you gave me,
and it is eminently proper that they
should have an opportunity to serve
you. For that reason I am making
this announcement that will not be a
candidate for reelection, believing
IN giving everyone and equal chance.
At the proper time 1 will make form
al announcement of my candidacy
for congress from this district, and in
the same spirit in which leave the
office of solicitor general shall go
before the people of the congress
sion district for their consideration.
Sincerely yours,
CLAUDE H. PORTER.

COBB PRIMARY TO Be
HELD ON APRIL 10Th
Action OF State Committee Fixes
That Date For Primary
For President

Cobb county will hold her primary
for county officers on April Goth, this
year, in accordance with the action
of the county committee some weeks
ago, which passed resolution to the
effect that the county primary should
be held on the same date as the state
presidential primary, in event one
was called by the state committee.
The state committee held its meet
ing on last Friday, Feb. 6, and it was
voted to have the presidential pri-.
mary in the state and April 20 was
fixed as the date
The chairman of the state commit
tee had previously asked that as far
as possible all counties arrange to
hold their county Office primaries on
the same date with the state primary
in order to save expenses of election,
no fund for paying clerks for presi-
Dental primary being available.
1t was in accordance with this re-
quest that the Cobb county commit
tee left the date open until the state
committee had acted, so along with
the primary for county officers on
April 20 you will have an opportuni-
ty to express your choice for presi-
dent of the United States.
There will be qrite bunch of cam
didates in Cobb to exercise your
judgement in picking the best man
for most of the offices, and while up
to this time no names have been put
up to go on the presidential ticket
you will probably have number of
names there from which to choose.

THE ELLIS HEALTH LAW
WORKING FINE IN COBB

Doctors Haygood and Applewhite,
of the State Board of Health were
in Marietta Tuesday going over the
plans and work SO far accomplished
by DR.. Anthony, the health commits
sioner for Cobb county, and were
much pleased with the progress so
far made.
1t is interesting to note the good
results from the law in those coun-
ties in which it has been longest in
operation and more funds are sup
piled freely in these counties to pro-
mote and extend the work.
Although only recently adopted by
Cobb county we are proud of the
company in which we find the county,
and feel that it is long step in the
march of progress.
Nearly hundred thousand dollars
has been appropriated this year al
ready by various counties for the
work, and number of other coun-
ties are just taking it up.
Glynn county leads all the coun-
ties with budget of $4,000. The
amounts to be paid out by the others
follow: Baldwin, $4,000; Barlow,
$4,000; Cobb, $500; Colquitt, $4,000
Floyd, $4,000; Laurens, $4,000;
Lowndes, $4,000; Sumter, $2,4OO;
Thomas, $4,000; Tiff, $4,000; Troup,
$4,000; Walker, $4,000, and Worth,
$4,000. Hart is also operating under
the law, but has not yet furnished
budget of expenses. Dougherty
Will begin operations under the law
this month.
Dolly county is among a number
where a strong effort is being made
for the adoption of the law.

W0MAN'S CLUB FORMED
BY MARIETTA WOMEN
Call For Cooperation At Meeting
To Be Held At Library At
d o'clock Friday
By Margaret T. McWhorter.


A representative gathering of wo-
men was held in the Clarke Library
on Thursday of last week to perfect
the organization of a Woman's Club
for Marietta. This move was the
crystallization of ambitions plans for
a wider scope in thought, clearer
conception of the arts and sciences
and more cultured community
Much enthusiasm was demonstra-
ted and if this initial meeting may be
taken as criterion the ultimate sue
cess of the body will not be a matter
of doubt.
A wide latitude will be given for a
very comprehensive course of study
upon the lines which appeal most
thoroughly to the individual fancy.
The method of procedure will be
practically the same as followed bv
all similar organizations. 1t has
been the concensus of opinion of
those who have fostered the move
ment that one general meeting should
be held each month, the early part of
the session being devoted to business
and the regular routine of club work.
followed by program arranged by
the various Study Sections.
AS an evidence of the undaunted
faith of the members in the upward
growth of the movement it was unan-
imously votel to Immediately join the
State Federation of Women's Clubs.
No action could have been taken
which could have been a greater
earnestness of the serious purpose
underlying the organization.
The personnel of the Executive
Board which is composed of the Pre-
sident, and vice-presidents, who are
at one and the same time Chairmen
of the Sections, Recording Secretary
and Treasurer, Corresponding Secre-
tary and Parliamentarian, assures all
who may be interested that only seri-
Gus conscientious work will be under
taken.
The following officers were elected:
President, Mrs. l. A. White; Record
ing Secretary and Treasurer, Mrs.
Lillian Finn; Corresponding Secre-
tary, Miss Cora McCord Brown; Par
humanitarian, Mrs. John M. Graham;
Chairman Music Section, Mrs. C. D.
Elder; Chairman Arts and Crafts
Section, Miss Emma Katharine An
derson; Chairman Child Welfare Sec
ton, Mrs. S. R. Hewitt; Chairman
Literature Section, Mrs. Horace Field
Chairman History Section, Miss Ma
bel Cortelyou; Chairman Education
Section, Mrs. Margaret McWhorter.
The election Of a Chairman for the
GIVES Section was deferred until
later date.
A cordial invitation has been given
by Supt. W. T. Dumas for the hold

THE FLU SITUATION IN
MARIETTA AND COUNTY

Advices from the secretary of the
state Board of Health to the Cobb
county Board of Health indicate that
the influenza epidemic has reached
Its crest, and from now on the mum.
Der of cases is expected to show a
gradual decrease.
The disease is in much milder
form than the previous epidemic and
pneumonia and other serious COM
plications have been rare. The stu.
alton in Cobb county continues favor
able. There are less than fifty cases
IN Marietta and total of about one
hundred and twenty five in the
county.
There is no cause for the public
to become alarmed, and no steps
relative to closing schools and public
places will be taken as long as con-
ditons continue so favorable. AS the
disease is still of uncertain origin and
no effective quarantine can be estab.
hshed due to this fact, individuals
are advised simply to take pre-
caution to avoid overcrowding, sleep
with windows open, secure plenty of
sleep, use an antiseptic in the nose
and throat and try and keep the
general health good.
Influenza vaccine may be secured
from the Health Commission, but NO
claim whatever is made that it will
prevent the disease.

MEETING TO CONSIDER
PREVENTION OF MALARIA

A Meeting has been called for Feb
ruary "a, at Albany for discussing
and planning to prevent malaria in
south Georgia.
The state board of health is much
interested in the meeting and will
have able representatives present to
speak upon the subject and to advise
with those in attendance as to ways
and means of attaining freedom
from mosquitoes and malaria.
The question of drainage is so
closely related that it is probable
that this meeting will also increase
the interest in that subject also in
south Georgia.

Indications that England's inabil-

The famous "bucking chair" at the

Fulton county may be anxious for
all the convicts she can get for road

of these is young Joe Webb whom
the governor saved from the gallows

ago. At last account the best the
camp authorities could do with Webb
and several of his fellows was to keep
them under double shackles and close
guard in camp.

confronted with big accumulation of
overnight selling orders and with a re-
newal of weakness in the New York

tumult when business began in the
corn pit, an extreme fall of six cents
bushel took place with simultaneous
dealings fully three cents apart among
different sets of brokers'. 1t soon grew
apparent, however, that there was to
be no further stampede, and that many
commission houses had turned to the
buying side This was especially the
case after gossip became current that
