WAGES GOING DOWN

Gaffney, Nov. 1.-The cotton
mills of Gaffney have announced a
Is per cent reduction in wages, to
take effect on the first day of No
vember. The management of the va
rious mills say that the reduction is
made with the greatest reluctance,
and nothing but stern necessity
would have caused them to issue
such an order. All of the mills of
Gaffney have quantities of goods in
their warehouses, there being prac-
tically no demand for the goods at
this time.

VIZ THIN the last few weeks sew
w eral dozen requests have come
to me from different parts of the
country, to explain the reason for
freckles, and to give some advice upon
their prevention and treatment. Many
people think that it is the heat of the

lists have found out, however, that it
is not the heat but the light from Its
electric rays-called its actinic rays
which develops these small blotchcs.
In hot countries, these are stronger
than In cold climates.
Now, neither blue nor white wells
are protection against these, as the
electric rays pass directly through
these colors. On the other hand, rod

YOU MIGHT BE ARRESTED
WITHOUT A 1920 TAG

The thirty days of grace granted
to automobile owners by Secretary of
State S. G. McLendon expired on
April 1, and according to a letter
sent by him to all sheriffs in Georgia,
prosecutions will be in order for all
motorists failing to show 1919 motor
vehicle license tags on their cars.
The automobile department of the
secretary of states office has issued
about IL 5000 tags to date and all ap-
plications have been filed, says Mr..
McLendon. Thus there is no ground
for excuse on the part of automobile
owners that tags were not available.
There has been during the past thirty
days some difficulty in securing tags,
due to the inability of the manufac-
turers to deliver on time, but this
handicap has been overcome and
there now is on hand an ample supply
of tags to fill all demands.
The motor vehicle license tax law
las passed in 1919 provides that auto
mobile owners shall secure their tags
by March 1 or be liable to arrest and
prosecution. On March 1, however,
Secretary McLendon advised the
sheriffs of Georgia not to make ar
rests, but to wait until April l to al
low the department to catch up with
the applications on hand. This has
been done, according to the secretary
of state and in his letter to the sher-
ifs he advises them to proceed vigor-
ously under the law, arrest all auto
mobile owners who do not carry 1920
tags.

MEN MEET ON
FRIDAY TO TALK BUSINESS

The Georgia State Press Associa-
ton will meet in Atlanta on Friday
of this week to consider business that
is of vast importance to the country
newspapers of the state.
1t is the oft spoken of newsprint
shortage that is ever before them,
with its constantly increasing menace
to the very life Of every country pa
par, and the problem must be solved
or put on a stable basis for their Sc
curing the necessary paper if they
are to stay in business.
Long ago the matter passed a ques-
ton Of price, which has very nearly
approached five times the normal fig
ure, but it is now serious question
jif all the papers can get enough to
keep going at any figure.
This paper has been very fortunate
in the matter of looking ahead for
/ its paper stock up to this time, but
the time has come when it will have
to scramble for its share just as the
others who were less provident.

A CLINIC FOR THE COUNTY
WOULD BE A GOOD THING

There has been some discussion OF
the benefits to be derived from the
operation of the Ellis Health Law in
this county, and the extension OF
health work generally, since the ex-
aminations of the school children has
located so many detectives, and one
OF the practical things that might be
done is the establishment of a clinic
in Marietta.
For the benefit of some of our
readers who may not understand it
we will say that clinic is a place
fitted and equipped for making all
sorts of physical examinations, and
performing the various minor oper-
atoms, for which many physicians
offices are not properly prepared.
In some cities, in fact in most OF
them, free clinics are established for
the benefit of those who are unable
to pay for these things, but if one is
to be opened here, asmall charge for
rent and maintainence would proba-
bly, have to be made in addition Ito
the medicines furnished.
The health department will so far
as it is possible, locate the cases but
"a clinic fitted for any one who chose
to go and be examined and treated
we believe would be of benefit to the
public, although it would not inter
fere with the business of the estab-
lished sanitariums in any way.

ATTORNEY GENERAL WALKER
RESIGNS ON APRIL BOTH

The resignation of Aattorney Gen
eral Clifford Walker was rendered
Governor Hugh M. Dorsey Wednes-
day, to take effect thirty days from
date. His successor will be Colonel
R. A. Denny, well-known attorney of
Rome, Governor Dorsey having an
nounced some weeks ago that Mr..
Denny would be appointed in the
event Mr.. Walker resigned.
Mr.. Walkers resignation was sub
mitted in view of the fact that he
wishes to devote his time to his can
|didacy for governor.
Mr.. Walker was in Marietta one
day last week shaking hands with
ould friends and making new ones in
the cause of his candidacy.

MARIETTA NEEDS AN UP
TO DATE LIBRARY

Marietta has had a library for
thlrty-nine years. The Marietta Lii
orary Association was organized in
1881, with a small collection of we'll
chosen boks, and a membership made
up of all the progressive, public
spirited citizens of that day. In 1898
Miss Sarah Freeman Clarke gave her
library of two Thousand volumes and
a building, the Marietta Library As
ISOLATION gave its books-nearly two
thousand-a number of generous
citizens donated two thousand dollars
Tor the Church street lot, and this
combination of the two libraries was
called the Clarke Library Association.
The present building was opened in
the fall of 1893. For twenty six
years the library has been maintained
by the small membership fee of two
dollars a year. This has meant a
very small sum to carry on library
work, as the city has made no appro-
priation, and there was no endow-
ment. The librarians have been vol
unteers all these years, as the income
has never been large enough to en-
ploy trained librarian.
The time has come when Marietta
must have a more up to date, better
equipped library. Other towns whose
Libraries have been established only
a few years are far ahead of US in
their efficiency. We need new books,
especially good reference books for
the benefit of the High School, the
books need to be rearranged and re-
catalogued, and we need a trained
librarian who will give her time and
thought to extending the Library SER
vice, an dmaking it mean much more
to the community.
Our newly organized Woman's
Club needs a well equipped library.
The chairman of the sections now
have to use the Carnegie in Atlanta
for much of their work. Our High
School is in great need of an up to
date reference works, and the young
er children ned to be guided in their
choice of books, and be given an in
terest in good literature by the story
telling hour.
1T is time for the citizens of Mari
eta to rally to the aid of the Lii
brary. Headed by the Rotarians the
appeal will be made in April, every
one will be asked to help. With the
whole hearted cooperation of all we
can have a Library equal in efficiency
to any in the samller cities of Geor-
gia.

MARIETTA. VOTERS OUT
OF ONE COUNTY RACE
Last Legislature Cut Out City Voters
From Race OF County School
Superintendent

In one of the races for county Of
ficers, citizens of Marietta can not
vote this year. Of course the voters
of each district only are permitted
to vote for their county commission
ers but there is another Office for
which the voting is restricted. We,
refer to that of County Superintend-
ent of Public Schools for which
Messrs. Bernard Awtrey and Hugh
Moore are the candidates.
Under the Act of the General AS
sembly approved August 10, 1919, it
is provided Georgia Laws, 1919, D.
349), as follows: County Superin-
tendents of Schools shall be elected
for term of four years, as now pro-
vided by law, at the same time and
place as state and county officers; Pro,
vided, if there is in this county one or
more independent school systems not
under the supervision of the County
Superintendent, the voters of such in
dependent systems shall not vote in
the election for County Superinten-
dent"
The city of Marietta has an inde-
pendent school system which is not
under the supervision of the County
Superintendent, and for this reason
the voters within the incorporate
limits will not be permitted to vote
for County Superintendent Of
Schools.
We understand that Roswell also
has its independent system, and if
there is any other town in the county
that is similarly situated, the voters
of that district will likewise not be
entitled to vote.
This is a just law, and there were
lgood reasons for its enactment. Only
the people over whom the County
Superintendent will have jurisdiction,
will be permitted to express their
choice by ballot for his election.

ROSWELL NEITHER SEAPORT
OR EVEN A RAILROAD TOWN

Roswell is still country town so
far as railroad service is concerned,
for while the Railroad Commission
has issued an order to the Southern
Railway to resume the service on
the Roswell branch, railroad attor-
neys can usually find way to delay
if not defeat, the execution of orders
of the Railroad Commission.
We do not mean to say that there
is not merit in the contention of the
railroad in this case, or that the road
may not be entirely within their legal
rights at all, but there is always a
long litigation of matters pertaining
to these rights.
Judge Bell of theFulton Superior
Court has granted an injunction re-
straining the commission from the
enforcement of the order, and has
appointed a special receiver to take
charge of the affairs of the Roswell
branch of the road.
The final outcome of the matter
will probably rest upon the report of
the receiver, after he has had time
to make an examination of the affairs
of the road. In the meantime Ros-
we'll will have have to wait, if its re-
sourceful mayor can not match the
the moves of the railroad lawyers.

MARIETTA COTTON MILL
ELECTS ITS OFFICERS

The Marietta Cotton Mill compile
ted its organization this week by the
election of its directors and officers.
The officers are w. F. Hetrick, pre-
sidept; J. w. Hancock, vice-president
w. E. Schilling, Secty and Treas,
who with the following gentlemen
compose the board of directors: w.
I. Holland, J. A. Carlisle, J. E. Mas
sey and Guy Northcutt.
This company was oily recently VI
ganized with the prime purpose of
affording home market for the cot
ton crop of Cobb county but already
before even yard of goods is turn
ed out the stock is worth $125 per
share.
This fact is partially due to the
promoters having purchased their
machinery some time ago, and now
the markets of the whole world are
bare of machinery of almost every
description and particularly cotton
mill machinery.
1t is said that the Japanese have
contracts covering the output of the
machinery makers for the next two
years and this practically creates q
monopoly for those who are already
supplied. The machinery has arrived
and is being placed for early ope.
ration in the mill building on the
W. & A. railroad south of the Ste.
hens lumber yard.
A small amount of the treasury
stock has not yet been sold and this
is yet available to the stockholders
at advantageous figures.
1t would not be surprising to see
the Marietta mill stock worth double
within the current year.

AN UNSOLICITED HONOR
FOR A MARIETTA MAN

Mr.. John T. Dorsey was much sur
prised last week to receive through
the mails a commission as Assistant
Judge Advocate in Chief of the Sons
of Confederate Veterans.
The commission came from Gene
raj Nathan B. Forrest, of Memphis,
who is now Commander in chief of
the Sons of Confederate Veterans,
and son of the famous general of the
same name.
Although the duties of the Office
are rather vague, requiring only some
service at time of reunions, Mr.. Dor
sey says that he highly appreciates
the honor as it came entirely unsoli-
cited.
