Chamber of Commerce
Proved Clever Police
Agency in This Case
FIND MAN WANTED
IN SOUTH BEND

While II is not the usual province
OF the Chamber Of Commerce to act
as police agencies, a communication
received today by the Chamber in this
city shows that they can prove very
effective in that line when called
upon.
Some weeks ago a call was made
by the Chamber OF Commerce OF
South Bend. Indiana, upon the cham
bers In this country and Canada to
assist in apprehending William Burn
ham, alias wv. j. Burnham." alias
Bend on charges OF obtaining money
under false pretenses in connection
with an alleged fake real estate deal,
issuing worthless checks and using
newspapers for fraudulent advertis-
ing.
The Wilmington chamber bulletined
Burnham through its membership as
did also the chamber In Camden, n.
J. One OF the members OF the latter
body connected the man with an al
legged shady" deal in that city and
through this connection Burnham was
traced and arrested in Camden.
Burnham has since been taken back
to South Bend and is awaiting trial
other cities have since asked for his
apprehension on charges similar to
those made against. him in Indiana.

THOMAS W. HARDWICk
SPEAKS AT MARIETTA
Addresses a Crowd of Followers
and Opponents. Some
Enthusiasm.

The Hardwick meeting here on
Wednesday afternoon did not get
the big crowd expected, probably
because of the rain which drench-
ed the town and country at about
the hour for the speaking. How
ever, some three Or four hundred
people were present and consider
able enthusiasm prevailed.
1t was noticeable however, that
the cheering was done by only a
part of the crowd, many being
present to find out first hand
what the speaker would say and
not being supporters or followers
of Mr. Hardwick.
His speech was practically that
reported by the dailies elsewhere
In the state. His attacks on the
president had no responsive chord
in the whole audience, or if so no
vocal demonstration was made of
the fact. Mr.. Hardwick readily
acknowledged his error when he
stated that Mr.. Trammell Scott
was employed in the office Of Mr.
Clark Howell and was called to
account for it by some one in the
office. He spoke about one and a
half hours and had the close at
tention of all. The county at large
was pretty well represented in
the audience, some Of his follow
ing coming from remote corners
Of the county.

A REGULAR LIBRARIAN
FOR CLARKE LIBRARY

The Clarke Library will have a
trained librarian for the coming
year. Miss Helen Griffith of FIT.
Wayne, Indiana, will arrive the
middle of September to take the
work. Librarians are hard to find
and Marietta is fortunate to have
secured one.
Miss Templeton of the Georgia
Library Commission, aided by
Miss Barker Of the Atlanta Car
negie Library, has been trying
since May to find one for us.
Miss Griffith is an experienced
librarian, a graduate Of the Indi-
ana State University, and took
her library training at the Uni
versity of Illinois. For six years
she was in the reference depart
ment of the Des Moines Public
Library, and while there she cat
alogued the library of E. T. Mer-
edith, the present Secretary of
Agriculture. The past year she has
been in charge Of the library at
Valley City, North Dakota.
In order that the work of re-
classifying and recataloging the
books may not be delayed longer,
Miss Lily Dodgen will be here for
the month before Miss Griffith s
arrival. The Board hopes that by
the middle of October the libra
ry will be ready to issue books
free.
About $1,000 is outstanding in
pledges, and the Board asks that
every one who can do so at this
time, will now make out a check
for the amount or their pledge,
and mail it to Mr.. A. V. COrtelyou
There will be the expense Of
some new equipment, and the Ii
brarian's salary must be met
promptly every month, so that the
Board would like to have the
money on hand to meet all obliga-
tons without delay.

The interment was in the city
cemetery, the pail bearers being
Messrs. Herbert Clay, Ralph
Northcutt, Guy Northcutt, Harry

was heaped with beautiful flow

The tragic death of little Fred
cast a gloom over the many rel
atives and friends of the family.
The child had climbed into tree
to witness base ball game, and
lost his hold, falling forty feet to
the paved sidewalk.
He was carriedsto the hospital
at Rome, but everything that love
and skill could do was in vain,
and the end came in a few days.
He was very bright child, and
made friends with everyone, and
the sympathy of all goes out to
the bereaved ones.
He is survived by his parents,

Their, Bella Barnes, Jr., and his

LOCAL LEGION HONORS
HORACE ORR'S NAME
Also Accuses Both Hardwick
and Watson of Unpatriotic
Public Utterances.

At meeting'of the Blackjack
,, Post No. 20, on Tuesday evening
it was voted to change the name
of the post to Horace Orr Post, in
memory of the brave Marietta boy
Seargent Horace Orr, who died in
France upon the field of battle.
In order that the change may
become official, it is necessary to
get the approval of the state or
ganization of the American Lee
gion, but Of course this will be
given.
The following resolution was al
so unanimously passed by the the
same meeting:
To the Citizens of Cobb County:
1t appearing that Thomas E..
Watson is candidate for the
United States Senate, and that
Thomas w. Hardwick is a candi-
date for Governor, in the coming
primary, to be held Sept. s, 1920;
And it appearing further that
both the aforesaid candidates
were disloyal to their country du-
ring the time of the world war,
of the and that both the aforesaid
candidates sought to obstruct and
hinder the United States Govern
ment in every possible way during
said war, and sought to retard the
progress Of it's military forces,
both in America and foreign
fields;
And whereas, we the members
of Horace Orr Post No. %, have
sworn to foster and perpetuate
one hundred percent American
ism, and that as we believe that,
unles we oppose the principles
upon which these candidates are
seeking election that we will vio-
late our pledge and prove our
selves unfaithful to these thous-
ands who died on foreign battle
fields;
Be it therefore resolved, That
we, the members of Horace Orr
Post No. 30, denounce the candi-
dacy of Watson and Hardwick,
and condemn without reservation
their candidacy for the Senate
and for Governor.
BE it further resolved, That we
the membersof Horace Orr Post
No. 20, are not supporting the
cause or candidacy of any candi-
date for any office whatsoever
BE it further resolved, That we
the members of Horace Orr Post
No. 20 individually and collective
ly, pledge ourselves to use any in
fluence we may have to defeat
these candidates; to work to unite
all ex-service men against them,
and to strive with the aid of all
loyal citizens tosave Georgia from
dishonor and disgrace through
the election of these men.

NEW MARIETTA CHARTER
PASSES LEGISLATURE

A bill of much interest to Mari
eta people is that of the new
charter for the city. The Jour
nal has not seen the bill as passed,
hence is unable to give an out
line of its content. We shall, how
ever, inform the readers of the
Journal about it next week and
let them be making up their
minds as to whether they prefer
the old or the new. A change in
the fundamental law of the city
III It's entirety needs careful study.
We should see its provisions first
hand before forming an opinion
of its value.
Among the bills passed and APP
proved by the governor was one
raising the salary of the solicitor
general of the circuit to $4,000 a
year. This subject, however to a
referendum, and must first be APP
proved by the people at the polls
II 1t becomes a law.
The same is true of the bill to
make the salary of the treasurer
of Cobb County 800 per month.
The city of Austell was author
lied to hold an election for bonds
to the amount of $4,000 for the
purpose of securing an electric
light outfit for Austell.
