 He sure did treat me fine" he said, after describing his own capture py a band of Villas men, who had shot his companion and who had placed a rope around his own neck with the decla- ation of their intention to kill him. He described the destruction of the Magista properties by Villa.
 Why did he do it?" he said, re- beating an inquiry by one of the com mittee. ITO show the United States that Carranza was unable to keep his promises to Americans that he could guarantee their safety. And that's the message he gave me to bring to the United States, and l brought it.'

 Are you going back?" asked Sen ator Fall.
 Sure, I'm going bac:, some day. I know where Villa hid two or three million dollars worth of bullion and I'm going back to get it." He was not asked the location.
 It was in 1914 that Anita Whalley now P years old, had her adventure with bandits in Parral, Chihuahua. Her father owned dairy there. He was not at home one night when the bandits appeared and demanded arms and money from her mother The mother gave them pistol, and then came tC the bedroom where the girl and her sister were sleeping and asked them to hand out a 22-caIibre rifle that was in the room. The ban dits forced theirxway in and demand ed S5000. There was no money in the house and the girl so told them. Their insistence failing to obtain money, they took her and her sister into the court of the house, where they were placed against the wall to be shot. A firing squad was ranged in front of them and the leader rais- ed his arm. It's fall would be the signal 10 fire.

 You gringoes certainly love money better than your, life,'' was his com ment, and he adopted other tactics. He drew the blade of a Mnting knit across her throat and then told her he would cut of her toes and fingers if she did not tell him where the money was, He removed one of her bedroom slippers and did slash her foot, but by that time ne appeared convinced the money could not be ob. tained and left them. He was later arrested and the judge assured the Whalleys he would be convicted.

MILLION
WOMEN ENFRANCHISED

The lower house of the Tennessee
legislature voted Wednesday on the
federal amendment bill to the nation
al constitution, the vote being SO for,
to DC against the amendment. The
senate had already passed the matter
by vote of rs to a.
1t is understood the opposition
will endeavor to have the house re-
consider its action and that it will
come up again on a motion to recon-
slider at once.
The Journal regrets that our own
legislature did not pass this measure
at its recent session. There can be
no sort of doubt that the amend
ment will prevail within year or so
even if Tennessee retraces it's step.
Our own state ought to have part in
the great matter of setting her wo-
nine on an equal footing with men.
No valid reason has been advanced
why women should not vote. The
whole trend of civilization is in that
direction. Let Georgia fall in line.

DIGEST HAS BIG GAINS.

Cobb county has gone forward by
leaps and bounds, if the increase in
the county tax digest is an index
to her growth. The gain shown there
is $2,802,s95, which gives the coun-
ty total taxable property of $12,-
567,370. Whether this increase in
the taxable property will enable the
County Commissioners to reduce tax
rates remains to be seen. But this
is fine showing for the county, prov
ing that we are getting our share of
the nationwide prosperity that has
crowned the democratic administra-
ton of the national government.
The increase is distributed pretty
well over the county, every militia
district showing substantial gains.

LOCAL TAX WINS OUT.

Powder Springs city had her char
ter, which provided for a system of
public schools, repealed during the
last legislature and has held an cleo
ton under the McMichael law for a
Local Tax. The friends of local tax
alton for the support of their schools
won out by vote of IS to IL, a fine
showing for the district.
Rehoboth school district, a district
made by taking about one half the
territory from Cobb county and the
other half from Paulding county,
also had an election for local tax and
the vote was unanimous for it-be-
ing 80 for and 0 against The Jour
nal hastens to congratulate these dis
tricts on their forward step in school
matters. Local taxation makes good
schools because it furnishes sure
and fixed income to pay teachers
with. Good ones are rarely gotten
on haphazard ways of raising their
pay.

JURY REvIsoRs AT WORK.

The jury revisors consisting of
Messrs. A. A. Bishop, Orlando Aw-
trey, VIM. M. CAN'T, R. B. Moon,
Lee McCleskey, and H. A. Glore,
were at work on the new jury list
Monday and will return next Mon
day for the completion of the work.
Nothing will give people more con-
fidence in the findings of the courts
than to have only upright, intelligent
men, free from partisan bitterness
enrolled among the jury lists of the
county. Only such men can de eff
fective work as jurymen. Cobb has
ample material for a good selection
of men for this important place.

WEEKLY WEATHER
AND CROP REPORT

In most sections Of Georgia the
weather during the past week was
more or less detrimental to all crops
on account of excessive moisture
end deficient sunshine. Rain fell on
nearly every day and was excessive
in places, washing the soil considera-
bly,. Although no floods have oc.
Cured, both cotton and corn in bot
standing water. The rainy weather
tom lands have been damaged by
is causing weedy growth of cotton
at the expense of fruit, shedding is
increasing land the plants are be-
ginning to suffer from rust.
In good many eastern counties,
however, where less rain occurred,
the crop continued to do we'll. Cot
ton continues to open slowly in the
south and picking is under way, and
some bales have been marketed. The
excessive moisture has greatly in
creased the activity of the boil Wee
vii, with increasing damage in many
sections of the State.
The rainfall has practically assured
a fair corn crop; corn cared well,
and is maturing in the south; fodder
pulling was interrupted by rains.
Sweet potatoes, peanuts, sugar cane,
velvet beans, and other minor crops
have not been injured, but appear
to be making normal progress. Pas
lures and forage crops have i'm
proved. Army worms continue to
damage crops in scattered localities.
Farm work was practically at a
standstill during the week.

GIRLS IN G. N. & |. c.

Cobb county has Jared well in the
matter of getting her girls in the G..
N. & /. c. The quota allowed her is
IL, while Is have been admitted to
date, some obtaining places where
other counties had not asked for the
full quota. There were FL appli-
cants before the Cobb County Board
of Education on July 80, when the
selections had to be made by that
body. The Board promptly decided
that pupils who had already made
part of the course there should have
preference in the makeup of the
county's quota, and nine of those
who had attended before were re-
turned. This left three vacant places
which the Board filled with applicants
from sections of the county not rep
resented in those already there.
Three others have been admitted by
the authorities from among the ap-
plicants, the Board having asked that
as many be put in as there was room
for from among them.
Following is the list of those ad-
mitted to date:
Misses Lena Carnes, Helen Pace,
Katherine Bishop, Frances Carnes,
(Acworth), Margaret Foster, Sarah
Cantrell, Isabel Manning Allene
Clark, Marion and Eunice Patton,
Muriel Williams, Mary Ward, Irma
Dobbs, Lois Benson, and Mildred
Dobbs.
This gives five from Marietta, two
from Smyrna, two from Roswell,
four from Acworth, one from Black
wells, one from Powder Springs.
Kennesaw and Austell had no appli-
cants for places.

is COBB COUNTY BOIL
WEEVIL PROOF

The ravage of Cobb county by boil
weevils has so far failed to material
ize. An ideal year for his develop
ment has not perceptably injured cot
ton to August Is. 2 A few localities
have reported his presence in small
numbers, but substantial harm has
not been reported in any case. The
lateness of the crop, the continued
rains and the rapidly growing weed
invite him to do his worst, but he
has not needed the invitation.
The weevil has been in the county
in small numbers for years, being
most destructive in 1919, when he
did considerable injury to few
fields of late and rank cotton. The
impression grows that Cobb is prac-
tically immune from the weevirs
worst attacks.

CAMPAIGN AGAINST TYPHOID.

Assisted greatly by the state
Board of Health, which has furnish
ed free the virus for the purpose, the
Cobb county Board of Health, July
/, inaugurated a campaign against
typhoid in the county. There had
been numerous cases of this disease
reported in the county,, and the
board believed no better service
could be rendered the county than to
effectually stop the ravages before
the summer and autumn were fairly
upon us.
DIR. Todd, county health commits
SINGER, was put to work inoculating
everybody that would come to him
fer the purpose, free of charge. Not
only so, but the doctor carried the
campaign directly to the people by
making trips to all schools and offer
ing the incubation to the children
there and to all parents who would
come out for that purpose. More
than forty schools were visited by
him, dates fixed for the work to be-
gin, and talks made, showing the ad
vantages Of being made immune
against fever for three years.
After this hurried round to the
schools, DR.. Todd began the systema-
tic visiting, inoculating at least 40
per cent of the school children at
practically all schools. The work
has become SO large that he has been
unable to reach all schools even yet,
and he is still making his rounds
daily, and hopes to reach all during
the summer session.
Up to Tuesday night, August II,
he had inoculated 1476 different peo-
pie, and had given second and third
injections to many of them, the total
number of"shots" administered be-
ing 3O71. Miss Gibbes, the county
assistant, is now with him, having re-
turned from her special work at Col
umbia University. The work of CIV
ing children a physical examination,
as required by law, will begin just as
soon as the work against typhoid is
copleted, which the board thought of
most Importance just now.

TO THE CITIZENS
OF COBB COUNTY

| believe that Georgia ought to be
more economical in her various pub
lie Offices. In this day and time, men
who serve the public ought to do
more work than they are doing. We
have too many soft snap jobs con-
nected with our state. If this money
was used for our public schools, we
could pay our teachers much better
salaries.
We have located in Cobb County
the Seventh District Agricultural
School. This school has never received
it's just deserts from Georgia. 1t is
educating hundreds of young men
and young ladies to be men and wo-
men from a practical and economical
standpoint. If it had the proper ap-
preparation and the proper consider
alton, it could accommodate five
times as many as it does at present.
If / am elected State Senator, |
am first going to keep in mind the
common schools of Georgia; and sec
ond, to the utmost of my ability to
get for the Seventh District Agricul-
tural School of Macland what it is
justly entitled to.
