Not a Candidate
Senator Page Will Not Be a Candi
date for Reelection
Hon L, II. LEWIS.
Editor of News and Citizen:

I1ON IL IL LEWIS,
Editor of News and Citizen:
The question has been asked me, and
should expect as the weeks multiply it
would be often repeated, DO you intend
to be Candidate in 1922 to succeed your
self as United States Senator?" The
question is proper one and in justice
to my friends should be finally answered
now. My answer is No"
1t is fifty.two years, since as Represen.
tative from Hyde Park, first entered
public life. While my official service has
not of course been continuous, l have,
nevertheless, been actively interested in
public affairs all these years. l shall al.
ways be proud of the generous support
that has made that service possible. l
have tried to give the best that was in
me, according to my opportunities, for
the good of the people who have called
me to serve.
I am today the oldest living United
States Senator and when my present term
expires, shall have entered my eighty.frst
year. The time has come when home is
the dearest spot on earth and at the end
of my present term l want to spend the
years remaining to me back with my
old friends in Vermont.
Sincerely yours,
CARROLL S. PAGE.
Hyde Park, VT, August %, 1921.

Chautauqua a Good Thing

lures by talent that we couldn't get for
six times the money in any other way.
Bennington is to have Chautauqua, Aug.
1926 and as usual it is hard work to sell
the tickets to make good the guarantee.
Too many people admit it is good thing
but would like to have other folks support
it. Good works cannot get far with that
kind of backing. A season ticket to the
Chautauqua costs only $3.50. Why not
make it 60 with the success it deserves by
buying the tickets promptly.

The suggestion that a Taxpayers
League be formed in Vermont should not
go unnoticed. Such league is needed
to stop the state expenses from going still
higher. Unless something is done there
will be no relief. The effort will have to
be made with bang-no jellyfsh effort.
The state must be stirred UP to the i'm
portance of this matter. The pets " at
Montpelier will kick and howl against re-
trenchment and it is going to take nerve
to defeat their efforts. A strong man will
be needed to head such an organization
but be will have lots of support. The
people are now ripe for reducing state ex-
penses. Let's go-and go to it strong

FAIL TO AGREE
ON PORT PLAN
Proposals Of Lamping and
Christensen Rejected

Two plans Of operating the port
properties were under discussion at
the session Of the port commission.
ers Wednesday Both were defeated
by vote OF Commissioner Lincoln.
DIR. christensen's spbstitute for
the Lamping resolution was first
considered.
The county and state officials are
assuming responsibilities OF the posi-
lions 10 which they have been elect
ed and see no reason why the
members OF the port commission. who
receive equally az much pay. should
not do likewise" was the statement
of DIR. Christensen. II believe that
we can handle the various depart
ments more economically than hired
men.
The management system has not
proven entirely satisfactory under
county and state government.
"If we get in and work am sat
kfied that we can put this business
over without an additional tax isvv
thls coming year.
Lack Of harmony among commeD
sioncrs prevented as good show.
ing in 1920 as should have been
made. Regardless OF this condition.
We made money. Now we are losing
money. tho Che expenses are less
than last year"
Commissioner lincoln joined with
Col. IAmping In voting down the
substitute providing for department
tai management.
Col. Lamping's measure providing
for an executive secretary was de-
feated BY Christensen and Lincolp
after Lincoln had proposed an
amendment specifying length Of
term. salary and name Of the ap.
pointee. LampinG refused Lincoln's
suggestion.
Indications point to an agreement
Of the commissioners within the
next few days on the proposition
and the appointment OF a ma nager.
Sam Green has been mentioned ~
4 possibility for the position.

DEPUTY SANDERS OFF TO
CINCINNATI FOR NEGRO
WHO JUMPED BAIL HERE

Deputy Sheriff T. M. Sanders left
Wednesday afternoon at sos o'clock
for Cincinnati, Ohio, where he goes
to bring back a negro, Sam Little
John, who is wanted here for jumping
bail on a charge of assault ond at
tempt to murder. Littlejohn is al
legged to have committed the crime
some time back and was placed un-
der a $500 bond, Rev. Williams be-
ing his bondsman.
Not liking, apparently, the idea of
standing trial, and it seeming SO easv
TO escape the cluthches of the law
when nothing more formidable than
a 500 bond stood as a bar to free
dom, Sam left for parts unknown to
any but himself something like a
month back. He wandered to the
land Of freedom for 'culored people'
and for two or three weeks every-
thing went fine. Then his identify
was ferreted out by the sleuths Of
the northern city and his ram5linus
came to sudden and tragic end.
Deputy Sanders expects to return
at ii o'clock Friday morning.

THE one-man commissioner bns
was beaten in Cobb county ia the
election today by majority OK an
pfoximately 500 the total vote gnsf,ss
around $500 with 856 for and zoe
against, according to figures available
at the time of going to press with
only three small districts unreported.
The defeat of the bill was due mann
ly to confusion in regard to the orc
man provision and the bond commits
sion Of IL men, large numbers OF
these voting against the bill being IN
favor of the one man commissions
but being opposed to the bond com
mission and believing that the tive
were inseparable. Another contribwt-
ing factor lay in the small vote easE
and the general lack of interest The
result of the ballots cast in each dis
trict showed that those districts taas
have had satisfactory work done sn
the roads voted heavily against tire
bill ami those that have had little or
no road work done voting strongly
for the bill. The only district cast
ing a unanimous vote either for uv
against, so far as the Is districts
uedIu lIOlu are COHttlHtu, was v III
ings, which cast 80 votes for the biz
and none against
The Marietta vote gave the bill a
majority Of 1876.
Only Small Vote Polled.
A surprising feature of the election
was the unusually small number Of
votes cast in the county as whole
With registration of approximately
5000 the total vote ran only slightly
more than 1000. The only districts
voting near the full registration
strength were those casting heavy
majorities against the bill, nanle3yA
Roswell, Austell and Powder Springs
With registration around 1000 Ma
rietta cast a very light vote the total
number being only 1876.
This is the first election in Geaita
county in which the women partiei-
pated and their appearance at the
polling places marked a strong eGn-
trast to all previous elections Their
vote was very light in the country
districts and heaviest in Acwortr,.
Marietta and Austell. 1t is stated that
large ajority of the women voters
were registered in favor of the bill
AS rule they went to the pc ling
places with minds fully made up and
in many instances cast their ballots
much quicker and in a more bOsineRs
like manner than did the old timers,
the men.

can be found in any city twice the

Marietta as a city is signally hon

same token should the buyiny public
appreciate the advantages offered.
In speaking of advantages vour at
tentlon IS called to the fact that
right here in our city can be bought
the most distinctive millinery ere
atoms direct from Paris, the world
recognized authority on women's hats
and wear.
In buying hat bert you have
a variety to select from that ranges
from the best and most expensive i'm

PEEK CASE PROBABLY
THE MOST IMPORTANT
ONE ON THIS DOCKET

The July adjourned term of Cobb
Superior court will be resumed here
on Monday, October 8, at which time
the several criminal cases which were
postponed will be taken up and dis
posed of. 1t became necessary to post
pone number of the criminal cases
which were represented by either
Senator Clay or Representatives
Gam and Dobbs to October due to
heir inability to be present on ac-
count of the fact that the General
Assembly was in session.
Probably the most important case
to come before this court is the Peek
murder case, in which Jewett S.
Peek, wealthy Cobb county farmer.
is charged with shooting his wife.
The counsel for the defence claims
1hat Peek was mentally deranged at
the time that this occurred.
There are more than fifty cases to
be tried for violations of the State
prohibition act, and also quite a num-
Der for adultry.
1t is believed that there is full
weeks calender on the docket. though
it cannot be definitely said lust how
long will be required to hear all the
cases postponed.
The same jurors that served during
the first half of the July term win
again be called upon.
