ASKS INCOME TAX
PAYMENT DELAYS.
Clarksdale Now Back of Plan
to Give Payers More
Time.

t0peCtat 10 tHo NSNS SCHtHhatJ
CLARKSDALE, Miss, Nov. 25.---A
movement, which is slowly but surely
spreading. has been started here and
has for it's purpose an extension of
eight months on the payment of in
come taxes. The matter was taken
up and discussed at the meeting of
the board of directors of the chamber
of commerce. and the question has
been further augmented through the
expressed approval of the movement
by many of the city's leading cit
liens
At the chamber Of commerce meet
ing, the directors instructed Secre-
tary f. L. larry and President ]. w.
Cutrer to draft resolution for sub.
mission to the senator and represent
tative from this district invoking i'm
mediate legislative aid. There seems
to be a concensus of opinion here
that the tax funds which are di-
verted into channel of commercial
need will bring a large measure or
relief to a present distressed finan-
cial situation. p.
The resolution, mentioned above, as
framed by Messrs. Cutrer and larry
is given below:
Whereas, economic conditions
nave been so disturbed Dy the Tdplu
and unexpected deflation in prices OF
all products of the farm and commodi-
ties Of the market as to make 1t i'm
possible in many cases to sell prod
ucts or in anyway realize money on
them and
"Whereas, condition of extraor-
binary financial stringency has been
created depriving our people of abili-
ty to even discharge ordinary in
sdebtedness, involving all economic
factors, and
whereas, the postponement of
payment of the income tax and the
reimbursement of losses which have
not yet reached the maximum would
work a large measure or relief, there
fore be>it Il VT, e8 .
Resolved, that we request our
senators and representatives to take
this matter up in congress and en-
deavor to secure the passage of a
bill authorizing the secretary of the
treasury to pretermit the collection
of the income tax for period of
eight months and to readjust income
tax statements on file and be it fur
ther ....... ..-. ...... .....
Resolved, that this resolution be
made public through our press and q
copy forwarded to the senators and
representatives"

LOSE TEACHERS TO CITIES.

The city school systems are max
ing constant drafts on the supply of
really good teachers. They do not
get them all, but they do get quite
number of them each year, espec-
tally SO in the last two or three years.
Recently Cobb county lost good
teachers because of our proximity to
Atlanta, where teachers have found
more profitable employment as steno-
graphers and book-keepers in jobs
that last the year through. Miss jamie
AGREE, who was formerly teacher at
Sardis, is now in the Greenville, S.

ly with the Trinity school, has gone

THE FIRST TEN BALES
COME IN QUICKLY

Marietta business men quickly got
the ten bales of cotton at so cents
per pound. Farmers are ready to
market some cotton at this figure, but
they should go slow in selling at the
present price. 1t has cost at least
forty cents per pound to raise cotton
this year in our section of Georgia,
and the farmer is entitled to his cost
and some profit. We wish to con-
graduate the merchants and business
men en- the interest evoked in the
matter of paying well for the first
bale and to suggest that. Marietta can
make quite "rep" by paying a little
above surrounding towns all through
the season. This will draw trade,
help the farmers, and build up Mari
etta's standing over the county.

CHILD WELFARE WEEK

WINTER COVER CROPS.

In many respects September may
be considered the beginning Of farm
operations for next year. That is,
we should now plan for next years
results by sowing winter cover crops
for soil Improvement and such other
crops for harvesting as our needs
may call for.
Winter cover crops bind the sur
face soil particles together and there
by reduce washing, reduce the leach
ing out of plant food, and add humus
to the soil. Winter leguminous crops
such as crimson and burr clover and
vetch, not only prevent the teaching
out Of plant food already present in
the soil but at the same time transfer
nitrogen from the air to the soil to
be used by succeeding crops.
A fertile soil is the very first es-
sential to success on the farm and
cover crops, especially leguminous
cover crops, are an absolute necessity
in the work of soil saving and soil
building. When we remember that
pan acre of good clover plowed under
in the spring has fertilizing value
equal to more than 1900 pounds of
cottonseed meal or 400 pounds Of nit
rate of soda, to say nothing Of the
great quantity of humus- making mat
erial added to the soil, it is astonish-
ing that these crops are not more
widely grown.
Crimson clover should be sown in
this section the latter part of Septem-
Der. Is to 20 pounds of clean seed
or 40 to so pounds of seed in the
chaff per acre sown in cotton or corn
middles and covered with a gee-whiz
will give good stand if sown when
there is goood season in the ground.
If clover has not been grown on the
land in the last few years the soil
should be inoculated with soil from
field that has been growing clover
successfully, or with commercial cul-
ture.
Rye can also be put in this month.
1t makes a valuable winter cover
crop and is one of the surest crops
for this section of the country. Sow
from one to one and a half bushels
to the acre. 1t will also furnish good
grazing in the early spring.

HEALTH WEEK BIG SUCCESS.

The week set apart by the County
Health Commissioner for examining
children under school age proved a
big success. Both the commissioner
and his assistant were kept very busy
all the week and good crowds attend
ed the public meeting to hear the fine
addresses made. Cobb county is go
ing rapidly forward in the great work
Of taking care of her rising genera
ton. People are waking up to the
fact that much suffering may be
averted by early attention to child
ren's minor defects. We have too
long acted on the idea that children
would "outgrow" defective teeth,
poor tonsils, adenoids and the like.
These things should be cured, not
outgrown.

EQUINOCTIAL UPON US.

/. The government has sent storm
warnings to all cities along the gulf
coast, from Pensacola to the western
boundaries of the Texas coast. A
storm of large proportions is headed
toward the land, with some point
west of the mouth of the Mississippi
as the striking place. No doubt high
winds and probably rains will prevail
over the cotton belt within a few
days as the result of the storm.
True to the time, the equinox came
in on Sept. The storm is said to
have strong Roadway and will pro-
badly do great harm where is hits the
coast and nearby sections.

school duties is no minor part of a

But the children are cut off from the

the cotton fields that are reckoning
to them. September to December
furnishes the best weather conditions
and best roads for school going, but
the cotton fields are cheating many
poor boys and girls of their best time
for preparation for life's work.

new CHARTER LOSES
IN SPECIAL ELECTION
By a Majority of IO2 Votes Marietta
Citizens Choose to Retain
the Old System.

The election Wednesday on the
new charter was an interesting one
in Marietta. The best of humor pre-
vailed, although the interest ran high
and coed workers for both sides were
on the job all day. A big vote was
polled, and the voters came early.
much more, than half the vote being
in the box before the noon hour.
There was registration of more than
9OC and the actual vote was 745, of
which majority of 1O2 was for re-
tanning the cid system.
A commission form of government
has been voted on in Marietta before
and had about the same result as
this one. that is, the majority against
it was about the same. The city
seems committed to the present char
ter form, and it's advancement must
come, for the time at least, under
this form of government. That we
need mere adequate law for civic inn
provement is perhaps true. The
Journal hopes to see all get together
and ask the next general assembly
for amendments to the present char
ter, if any be needed to make inn
provement on the streets, sewerage
and water supply. The school situa-
ton will be cared for in a special
election for that purpose soon.
With its natural advantages, it's
abundant wealth and it's progressive
citizenship, Marietta ought to go for
ward with rapid strides to all mod
ern and real civic Improvements. All
streets in evry section of the city
should have the advantage of good
walks, passable conditions for vehic-
les, sewer connections, and water
supply. The Journal will always be
ready to advocate these ideas and to
lend its columns gratuitously to all
who wish to give their opinions on
the methods that will best secure
and pull altogether" for Marietta
them. "a long pull, strong pull,
and her people will be our motto.

COAL ASSOCIATION SAYS
SUPPLIES ARE SUFFICIENT

The National Coal Association has
issued a statement that there will be
enough coal to supply every need
this winter, but says that it may take
until December to finish deliveries.
The statement says "that by taking
only enough coal now to tide them
over to December first, the entire
situation will work out with no great
privation to any one" 1t doubtful if
people who have suffered for lack of
coal in the past will be inclined TO
take SO complacent y view Of it.
