CAMPS URGED
Abandoned Barracks Of
District Proposed to House
Junior High Students.

AS a means of solving the prob
lem of congested schools in the
District, Henry X. Bush-Brown,
former president of the Washington
Art Club, urged the use of various
abandoned army camps for tenn
porary school houses in an address
before the Board of Education at
it's meeting yesterday.
The camp in East Potomac Park
was cited in particular as available
for a Junior high school.
ut is not necessary" he main
tained. that education should be so
expensively housed as many people
think. The war disclosed that one
third of the men subject to the
draft were physically unfit. The
first requisite of good citizenship is
good health and good health is best
attained in simpler manner of living
and more time spent out of doors"
There are more students in
eleemosynary institutions and in
sane asylums in this country than
there are in college. Bush-Brown
declared, in a plea for the develop
ment of the study of the fine arts
in the schools.

NATIVITY SERVICE
TO BE REPEATED.
To Be Made An Annual Event.


Owing to the fact that there were
hundreds turned away at the nativity
service Last year at the Methodist
chucrch, the drama council of the Y
w. c. A. is giving the many who
have expressed desire to have it re-
peated, the opportunity to see this
artistic prodution this year on Sun
day evening, December 10Th.
The beautiful religious spirit in
spired by this spectacle of sacred
story, told in pantomine, makes ii
worthy of permanent place in the
hearts of all who witness it.
After having felt its influence once
one can appreciate what is meant by
the Y. w. c, A. giving this wonder
fully artistic and appealing produc-
ton as its Christmas present each
year to the people of Marietta. 1t is
of a story sacred to all them and
hence a service for all of them.
The same setting and lighting will
be used and as far as possible the
same cast will take part, as the more
they go thru with it the more will
they be in the spirit Of it. This spec
tally selected cast last year presented
it with such dignity and reverence
that it was but natural that the audi
ence was filled with a feeling of deep
worship.
AS the ones who sang in the Choir
uses last year were unable to see the
players, Mrs. W. E. Benson, chair
man of the drama council, asks that
all the people who sing, both men
and women, and who saw the per-
Torrance last year. will help with the
singing this year, so that these Others
might see it. If those who sang last
year will send in their names to her
a special seat will be reserved for
them. MARY L. BENSON,
Chairman of Publicity for Y.W.C.A

CITIZEN OFFICER KILL.D MAN
WHO SERVED FOR MURDER.

The Atlanta papers for ten days
have been discussing the citizen po-
lice service of that city, which was
inaugurated some weeks ago, to try
to stop the speed maniacs and check
the wave of crime which swept over
the city.
All this discussion arose from the
killing of a drinking man by one of
these citizen policemen. Since the
killing the policeman has been in jail
under murder charge. Naturally
the whiskey dealing and drinking ele-
ment are trying to make an exam
Pile" of him, and are anxious to see
the end of the citizen police work.
1t does not appear just what the aver
age, plain, home owning citizen
thinks.
A sidelight upon the former his
tory of the slain man is found in the
Last issue of the Alparetta Free Press
which is reproduced below:
Last Sunday afternoon, at the
hour of 300, citizen policeman shot
and killed Bart Smith at Corrupt and
Marietta streets in Atlanta.
at is said that Smith had been
drinking, and that he had got up a
row with some woman living next
door, so that a demand for his ar
rest had been sent to officers of the
law The officers went in and ar
rested him, but he jerked loose from
them and ran back through the house
to the rear. The officers ran around
the house and overlook him, and as
they did so he ran his hand into his
hip pocket, so it was alleged, where
upon the officer shot him, killing him
almost instantly.
at will be recalled that Bart
Smith was tried and convicted in
Milton superior court for the MUIR
der of Frank Webb about eleven or
twelve years ago. Evidence showed
that Webb was shot in a gambling
card game in an old pine field north
of Alpharetta on Saturday night
His body was discovered Sunday
morning, bullet having pierced his
heart.
"Smith was found guilty and SEN
fenced to life service in the peniten-
tiary, but Governor Joe Brown, pop
ularly known as Little Joe," par
doned him."

THE WINSTED LIAR MUST
COME A LITTLE STRONGER

The author of the daily news item
from Winsted, Connecticut, and the
Mole st. Nicholas liar, will turn green
with envy when they read this story
1t originates from Pascagonla, Miss.
which sounds all right in a date line
and is probably in the section where
alligators and weasels are not I'M
known. Here it is:
GA party of hunters which has Just
returned here from Bayou Casotte
report that on Saturday they saw an
alligator prepare to attack weasel
whereupon the weasel, with remark
able alacrity, leaped into the gators
extended jaws and slid down into its
stomach.
"The hunters say they were much
astonished at the actions of the wea-
sci and awaited resultes. Within
fifteen minutes they observed the
weasel eating its way through the
entrails of the monster.
According to the hunters the
fondness for eggs prompted the slen-
der animal to take it's chance in the
alligator's insides."

COBB COUNTY FUNNEL
TO ATLANTA BARREL
Mountain Counties Pour Blockade
Whiskey Through Cobb County
Into City of Atlanta.

The whiskey transported through
Cobb County from the mountains to
the north and into Fulton County
must run into thousands of gallons
every week, for not a week passes
but but some of the various kinds of
craft used in its transportation falls
into the hands of the officers here,
but in every such case the discovery
of the contraband is caused by an
accident to the vehichle or drunken
ness of the driver.
This week the first one to come
to grief was big Packard car with
a load of 1873 gallons of whiskey in
the usual gallon tin cans, and it was
captured on Sunday night about 8
o'clock after it had run amuck on the
Atlanta road south of town, striking
q car of young folks from town and
wrecking it, continuing it's own mad
flight into the open field, where the
driver Immediately deserted it and
escaped. He was evidently sober by
the time his car stopped and realized
that his safety lay in flight.
This car was brought back to the
city and the whiskey poured out in
the cutters, and this created a scene
that reflects no credit on the town.
We shall not attempt to describe it,
but those who witnessed some of the
details attending the pouring out of
this whiskey would hardly care to
witness another such exhibition of
degradation as occurred there.
Just two days before, an apparent
~ harmless apple wagon, but with a
drunken driver, was captured with
liquor, the wagon being suppl d
with a double bottom, and between
the floors were found some seventy
gallons of the usual quality of mean
whiskey. The driver, an old man was
held for action of the court.
Before this week is out more will
fall into the tolls of the law, but how
many hundred get safely through for
every one is not so unlucky as to
break down or get drunk or happen
to some other accident in Cobb.
We can not lay the blame on the
local officers for they have no right
to be stopping and searching every
car that comes, and even if they had
this authority, it would be impossible
to do so, for Cobb County is on the
main line of the Dixie Highway and
thousands of cars pass through it
every week.
The only consolation the people
who are law-abiding get out of this
situation is the knowledge that near
~ every blockade runner is user OF
his own goods and sooner or later
must come to grief, even though he
will in the meantime endanger the
lives and property of others.

LOCAL J. P. ELECTION WAS
HELD HERE ON SATURDAY

Saturday was election day in Ma
rietta for Justices of the Peace and
court bailiffs.
Up to almost the day there was
no sign OF a contest anywhere, bat
Mr.. Joe Austin was a late entry in
the race against Mr.. B. V. Greer. the
present justice, who was overwhelm-
reelected.
In the bailiffs race were Messrs.
J. W. Morris, C. M. Hicks and Mark
Lutz, the two former being elected.
After the returns were in the Jour
ma! man interviewed the candidates
for Justice, but Mr.. Greer refused
to talk at length for publication. In
the language of the late lamented
General Forest, he was evidently sat-
isfied with getting there with the
mostest votes"
Mr.. Austin attributed his defeat
to one of three causes, either. his
popularity had been greatly exagger-
ated, or the woman vote did not turn
out to the extent of his expectations.
or contrary to predictions in regard
to this vote they did not vote for the
handsomest man.
Amt that just like man, try to
put the blame for everything on the
women!

PENSIONS OF VETERANS
WILL BE DELAYED

Pension Commissioned Lindsey has
sent out a letter stating that the
payment of pensions to Confederate
veterans under the new pension law
will probably not be made before
next March.
Hope of paying sooner is gone be-
cause of the fact that under the pres
ent conditions taxes are being paid
very slowly, and March will be about
as soon as the money will be ready
This is peculiarly unfortunate for
some of the Cobb County veterans
who are suffering from the money
stringency as much or more than are
other people.

The operator advised the police

INCREASE IN PRESBYTERIAN
MINISTERIAL RELIEF FUND

The Graham Office Building in
Jacksonville, formerly known as the
Heard National Bank Building, and
one of the finest in the south, has
been purchased by a subscription
raised by the Southern Presbyterian
church, and the income derived from
it goes to the ministerial relief fund
of that church.
The local church was large con-
tributor to the purchase fund, and
Presbyterians will be Joined by all
denominations in rejoicing that so
handsome a provision has been made
for their deperdo~t and worn out
ministers AID their widows and or
pl:a..s.
The rental nets 100000 per annum
and this will be added to the regular
fund heretofore raised for this pur-
pose.
Mr.. Graham, the former owner,
whose home is in Greenville, S. c.,
sold the building to the church at a
greatly reduced price, and of this
price contributed practically $780,
600. The date on which the con-
tributions were to be received closed
on December the first, but they are
still coming in and will create a fine
surplus for the fund.

ROCK BOTTOM PRICES
BY MARIETTA MERCHANTS

The prices are at last on a pre-war

goods.

Marietta is the place and now the
time to buy. One big store is ad-
vertising in this issue any Shoe in
their store for only $4.85, and they

reductions.
