though in the show business for
fourteen years Mr.. Counihan never
before took part in any performances
on the stage, and his work with Mr..
Knight was highly appreciated by
the audience. The work of the
Dixie Four brought forth consider
able applause, as did the singing of
Misses Helen and Margery Couni-
han.
The program for the most part
was made up of singing and dancing
acts. With the exception of the act
i'm which Messrs. Counihan and
Knight performed, and the one in
which Mr.. Counihan's daughters
performed. all the talent for this
show was furnished by professional
performers.

BOIL WEEVM FEVER
IS A NEW DISEASE

Around Smyrna the boys claim to
have discovered a new malady caus-
ed by the boil weevil.
DIR. w. T. Pace, Messrs c. B. Nor
ton, P. F. Brinkley and some others
left on Sunday for three weeks
trip to Hot Springs. Rev. Mr. Bray
left on Monday, and will join them.
The boys are telling it that Mr..
Norton has the boil weevil fever, as
he had found boil weevil on his
farm and said he woull sell it for a
thousand dollars less than the day
before.
1t would therefore appear that
this fever is quite serious disease,
particularly when it takes a friend
his doctor and his preacher to look
after one sick man. Still some of his
friends hint that the preacher will
be the busiest man in the party, do
ing the praying for the party.
We trust that neither the health
or the agricultural department will
become alarmed over this report
however.

on Wednesday evening the proposed
new city charter was read in sections
and each section was discussed by
members of council and others who

asking that our legislators present
the change in a bill to the present
session of the legislature.
The most important change sug-
gested is the election of city mana
ger and a budget system for the
finances of the city.
We have not been given copy OF

published for the information of the
public.
The Fulton county members of the

city manager for the city of Allan
ia, and suggested that the people
first vote upon the matter.

We came near forgetting to state
that Marietta lost by five points.
But Rome has promised return

ABLE JUDGE
WHO ASKS REELECTION

Judge Chas. Smith, of the Court
of Appeals, has announced his candl-
dacy for reelection to that position.
Judge Smith has made an excellent
record during his term of service on
the Court of Appeals; he is hard
worker, and is considered by the Bar
generally throughout the state, as
one of the ablest judges that has ever
occupied place on the Court of APP
peals bench.
Judge Smith was appointed by
Governor Dorsey in September OF
last year, to fill the unexpired term
of the late Chief Judge Peyton l..
Wade. Before his appointment, ne
was Judge of the Superior Court OF
the Stone Mountain circuit. In that
position he made an admirable rec
ord. He is now a candidate for a
full term, and the people of Georgia
will certainly make no mistake IN
electing him.
It is understood that he will be
opposed by Judge BENZ. H. Hill, who
was formerly on the Court of APP
peals. but resigned that position to
accept an appointment as Judge OF
the criminal division of the Superior
Court of the Atlanta Circuit. He
was a candidate for reelection to
that position two years ago, and was
defeated by Judge John d. Hum
phries.

COTTON BLOOMS

The first cotton blooms came last
week, and at once there are millions
of them. The first bloom brought
to TINS office was from the farm Of
Mr.. NJ. F. Barnes on last Saturday,
although we have heard since of 9TH
ers claimed to be as early The sea
son was very backward and planting
unusually late this year, with poor
stand, but thearecent grown of the
cotton plan IN his section has been
very rapid. If the fight against the
boil weevil is successful Cobb will
have lots Of cash, but one thing abb
solutely certain, corn and wheat are
going to stay. high priced.

COUNTRY PEOPLE ASK
FOR COUNTY POLICE
Resolution to Establish q County
Police Held over by Board
Until next Meeting

At the regular meeting of the
County Commissioners on Tuesday
Of this week, Commissioner George
McLain introduced resolution to
put into force county police system
for Cobb county. The resolution
was tabled until the next regular
meeting of the board.
There is unquestionably growing
demand for the organization of a
county police force. 1t should be
self-sustaining, and if good, hustling,
efficient men are elected, who will
stand for the enforcement of the
law, regardless of who the violaters
may be, it will not only be a protec-
ton to the law-abiding citizens of
the county, but will be a great as
sistance in the suppression of crime.
If this resolution should pass, it
would be we'll for the County Com
missioners to be certain that they
elect men who will not play into the
hands of the law-breaking element.
Under the general law on the sub
ject, the county police would have
concurrent jurisdiction with the
sheriff in the arrest and detention of
all violaters of the law.
We will publsh next week the
resolution in full in order that the
people may understand it fully be-
fore it is taken I'm in the next meet
ing of the board. Is

cox AND ROOSEVELT
TO LEAD DEMOCRATS,
Prospects are good for Democratic
Harmony and Big Victory
Next November

The Democrats in San Francisco
this week, after forty four ballots,
named James M. Cox, governor of
Ohio, as the standard bearer OF the
party this fall. Only one ballot was
necessary to name Franklin D. Roose-
welt, as the running mate of Mr.. Cox
and it is conceded that a good tick
ct has been chosen.
Mr.. Cox is man from the ranks,
an able and aggressive fighter for
the rights of the people, and will go
into an active campaign, an offens-
i've against the Republicans, and not
a campaign of apology or defense.
Perhaps the difference between
the two newspaper men in Ohio who
are now running for the presidency
may be best understood by two lit
tie facts which are unconsciously
placed before the public.
His biographers state that when
young Warren Harding had shown
a taste for newspaper work, his faith
er bought a newspaper for him."
James M. Cox said out of the full
ness of his heart, when he was ad-
vised of his nomination, eff / should
become president of the nation, l
feel that l possess one equipment
which / would not give for any 9TH
er-that l lived through the life of
the underman. l now feel that am
the representative of that class"
Mr.. Cox is far from bieng a novice
in public life, having three times
been elected to Congress and as ma
ny times governor of his state by
big majorities, and it is thought he
will have no trouble in carrying it
again against the Republicans.
The nominee for vice-president is
a native of New York state, distant
relative of Teddy and married one of
Teddy's neices. He is an active and
popular Democrat, being at this time
Assistant Secretary of the Navy.
Cox and Roosevelt will sound all
right to the voters and which IS more
they stand for real democracy.
It was hardly expected that the
convention in San Francisco could
name candidate for president who
would find favor with Mr.. Wilson
and the administration, and at the
same time please the element in this
state which has fought every meas
ure having presidential favor, but
not only has the administration and
Mr.. Wilson endorsed Mr.. Cox, but
from Georgia hasty messages OF ap-
proval have been sent by Senator
Hoke Smith, Tom Hardwick and Tom
Watson, which show that this state
is not yet ready to bend the knee to
the party which is absolutely color
blind, so far as the south is concern
ed. There is still hope for better
feeling and more unity among the
white people of old Georgia.
