MEN ANNOUNCE FOR
SENATE AND LEGISLATURE

Below will be found the announce
ments of Messrs. Gordon B. Gam
and c. Marion Dobbs for reelection
to the Legislature. Both these gen
tlemen have made an excellent rec
ord as members of this body, and
their many friends turnout the coun-
ty feel that they should be returned
without opposition. So far, we have
heard of none for either of them, and
consider opposition improbable.
Below also, will be found the card
of announcement of Hon. Bolan G.
Brumby for state Senator from the
Thirty-ninth District. Mr.. Brumby
is a well known business man of Ma
rietta and has many friends through
out the county who will be pleased to
hear of his announcement. Some
weeks ago we mentioned Mr.. Brum-
by as probable candidate.

SUPERIOR COURT RECESSES
TO End MONDAY IN AUGUST

On Tuesday evening after trying
all jail cases, Superior Court of Cobb
was recessed until the second Monday
in August. This was to allow far
mers to keep up with their crops at
this critical time.
A few cases Of general interest
were disposed of. One of these was
that of Elmer Randolph, who was
one of the escapes from jail last fall
who left the sheriff kindly messages
on perfumed note paper.
Elmer just naturally drifted back
to Cobb and to the sheriff's board
ing house, and he drew year on a
charge of larceny from the house,
with the recommendation that he be
punished as for a misdemeanor.
John Moreland got five to ten
years for burglary, and Bryson Wise
: fine Of $500 and six months on
the gang for being caught with an
auto full of liquor.

POLITICAL pot IS IN
FOR VIGOROUS BOILING
Hardwick, Watson and Probably all
the other Candidates to Speak
to Cobb County Folks II

Cobb County will not be sighted
or neglected at all by any of the SEN
atorial or gubinatorial candidates so
far as speechmaking is concerned
this year.
Already Cliff Walker has made a
speech here, as has Senator Smith,
although the senator was supposed
to be running for president at that
time, and will probably come back
to explain it all and tell why he asks
now for reelection to the senate.
John Holder is still busy with the
legislature but explains that he will
endeavor to get around to see the
people and present his claims to the
governors chair, and it is to be pre-
sumed that he will not neglect so
good county as Cobb.
Tom Hardwick has been Smelling
the woods for some time, from one
end of the state to the other, and we
have the announcement that he will
speak in Marietta at four o'clock OF
the afternoon of August 4th, having
filled an appointment at Dallas at
ten o'clock on the morning of the
same day.
The "Red Topped one also is to-
see the voters of Cobb. Thomas E.
Watson will speak in Marietta, on
Friday, August Goth, at 10 A. M.
So it is easy to foresee anything
but dull time in the next forty days
for those who love political meetings
and oratory.
As all these candidates are pretty
well known in Cobb, and as the voters
have an opportunity to see and hear
them all, it is up to the voters to
pick the fright men, but we wish to
say just one word about picking"
don't neglect to 'pick" the boil wee
wills, or there will be very little cot
ton to "pick." That is not political
advice, but it's sound.

CHAS. DAVIS LOSES APPEAL
MUST SERVE FOR FORGERY

Charles Davis, the Rome lawyer
well known in Cobb county on ac-
count Of having been defendant in
the celebrated land fraud cases in
our county, has at last reach the end
of his defense on another forgery
charge in the Foulton County courts
and must serve for forgery of the
name of the late Judge Logan E.
Bleckley to a land deed.
He had able counsel and it was
only after hard-fought legal bat
tie, that the verdict of the lower
court was sustained.
The deed to which Justice Block
ley's name was forged was on an
engraved plate photographed sheet
and was dated of the year 1852, at
least thirty years before such plate
photo printing was ever done in the
country.
In Rome last week he was con-
victed on another charge of uttering
a forged paper, although he was not
found guilty Of the actaul forgery

HOLDER TO MAKE
CAMPAIGN LATER.

Speaker John N. Holder Of the
house of representatives, expressed
regret in statement this week, over
the fact that he is unable for the
present, to make more speeches to
the people of Georgia, upon the is
sues in the campaign for governor.
81 feel that as long as the legisla-
tive session lasts, my duty to the peo-
pie is here in the speakers chair,
from which l have never been volun-
tarily absent during any one of my
four terms in this Office" Mr.. Holder
said.
while my opponents are taking
advantage of the opportunity, and
speaking all over Georgia. it is only
possible for me to get away occas-
ionally on Saturday when the house
happens to adjourn over to Monday
morning. Following the final adj
journment of the session in August,
| shall go more actively upon the
stump, reaching as many of the peo-
pie as possible, and telling them of
the states needs as | see and under
stand them, from the vantage point
of my eighteen years Legislative ex-
perience.
at has ever been my policy to re-
fuse to neglect the public business
even for my own political advance
ment, and | certainly shall not do so
now, even though it should mean my
defeat 1t is a very important part
of my work to watch and help direct
legislation upon the matters of tax
alton and finance-problems which
the general assembly is now trying
to unravel; and there are others, such
rs good roads which we are trying to
provide for every county in Georgia.
81 am confident from the many
assurances I am receiving from all
parts of the state, that the people of
Georgia are appreciative of service,
and that while | am here on the watch
tower for them. they will not fail to
stand by me in this campaign for
governor which comes to a close with
the primary Of September 9Th"

is THERE AUTHORITY FOR
PAYING THIS DEPUTY :?

We call attention to the Grand
Jury presentments in this issue, with
reference to the proposition of Sher-
if Swanson that the Ordinary APP
point a deputy sheriff, and their APP
prevail of the proposition.
There is no provision of law for
the Ordinary to appoint a deputy
sheriff. He has no authority to do
so, and he refused to make any ap-
pointment. However, the Sheriff has,
in writing, appointed Maddox
as a deputy. The sheriff has the
right to appoint as many deputies as
ne sees proper, and has had this au-
thority all the time
Under the present law the Solicit
or General is on a salary, paid by
the various counties. All fees accru-
ing to his Office for cases tried, fines
and forfeitures, and his insolvent
costs, go into the county treasury.
Now is this new deputy PROPOSE
ton move to divert these fees, that
are now going into the the county
treasury, to the payment of this dep
'uty's salary and expenses, and in
that way make the county pay the
salary Of the sheriff's deputies when
there is no law for doing so? Their
pay properly comes from the fees,
fines and forfeitures allotted to the
kheriff's Office under the law.

OPPOSE GORDON lee
Would Ride District in Els Own

His Big Cadillac.

Claude H. Porter, Solicitor Gener-
al of the Rome Circuit has entered
the race for Congress, and writes the
following challenge to Congressman
Gordon Lee, who will ask for another
term. 1t is not considered likely that
Mr.. Lee will accept, but Porter's
style of campaigning assures lively
time between now and September.
Rome, Ca, July "a, 1920.
Hon. Gordon Lee,
| Chickamauga, Ga,
Press reports indicate you will
again be candidate for reelection
to congress. / presume you ask this
extended honor based on your for
mer record. have your record and
am also candidate. You probably
think your former record entities
you to further service, but you are
not to be the judge, as the voters
are entitled to that privilege.
1t is my purpose to freely discuss
your public record, which is public
property, and l am DESTROYS of your
being present. Won't you agree to
go with me before the whole people
in the open, and frankly discuss, not
only your public record as Con-
gresham of many years experience,
but give them the benefit of our
views on vital, pending public issues.
I have good second hand Ford car
and am considered fair driver, and
this will cost you nothing. If you pre-
fer your chauffeur and Cadillac, |
will be glad to ride with you; any
thing to avoid the use of long range
arguments, or a resort to listening
post, trench campaign methods.
l sincerely hope you will not de-
cline, and that we may arrange a
clean, frank, open and intelligent
discussion of issues before the peo-
Pile, and in this way best show our
sincerity and true colors, and shall be
disappointed if you decline.
Sincerely yours,

Porter's official announcement is
presented below.
To the Voters of the Seventh Distric,
| announce myself candidate for
Congress from the 7th District of
Georgia, subject to the Democratic
primary of September the 9Th.
/ subscribe to the principles set
forth in the San Francisco platform
applicable to the House of Repre-
sentatives.
| am in favor of real democracy
and unalterably opposed to the cor
rupt use of money in any election,
and | hope the time has come when
every man offering for public office
will be defeated because of the use
Of money in corrupting the elector-
ate. 1t is criminal to do so and the
man who does it is unfit for office,
however genial he may be. believe
public officials should sustain them
selves by proven ability and accom-
plishments, and not by the fllmsy use
of free distribution of garden seed
at the public expense.
We have helped make the world
safe for democracy, let's now make
'the 7th District of Georgia safe for
democracy" otherwise every life lost
and every dollar spent has been in
vain. | believe in open free discus
sions of public questions, and to that
end especially invite my opponent or
opponents to meet me any time or
anywhere. / am opposed to trench
or long range discussions, and | ask
the support of the unpurchasable,
right thinking, honest voters of the
district.
