for all the contestants did really re-
markably well. Indeed it came near
er being tie in both cases than d
matter of first and second choice.
The declarations were, particular
ly good. Steve Clay's subject was
"Spartacus To The Gladiators," and
Emmett Kemp's was ''Emmett's De.
Tense" 1t is interesting to note that
Emmett was named for Robert EN-.
NETT, and is of Irish descent, SO he
spoke most feelingly.
The girls were equally fine, and Miss
Catharine Cogburn was very good.
The judges in the music contest
were Mrs. Sam L. Rambo, Mrs. M. D.
Hodges, and Miss Glennnis Hancock
and they also. found it very hard to
decide on the winner.
Eliza Holmes, who player the first
Waltz, by Gonnod, brilliantly, was
finally given first place, and Anne
Boiling Claiborne was given second.
But the playing of Miss Margaret
Black and Miss Nancy Boston certain.
ly deserves special mention.

IMPORTANT CASES
TRIED LAST WEEK
Judge Blair Fines Users of Punch
Boards. Gambling Given a
Set Back by Court.
HETRICK s MONTHS AND $1,000
"Shine" Fowler Given 2 to S Years
For Stabbing White Man Seve-
raj Months Ago.

The March term of Cobb county
Superior court adjourned here last
Saturday after a busy week with
criminal cases.
Gambling in Marietta was given a
set back by some of the court de.
cisions and punch boards users fined
by Judge Blair.
A. s. "Shine' Fowler was senten-
ced to 2 to years in the chaingang
for stabbing Ernest Wilson, a white
man, several months ago. Fowler
was driving public auto in Marietta
when the trouble occurred.
The most important case tried was
that of W. F. Hetrick, charged with
misrepresentation of Acworth Cotton
Mill funds.
This case was holly contested, Sol
icitor General John S. Wood being
assisted by Judge N. A. Morris, while
the defense was represented by Clay
& Blair and H. B. Moss. No stones
were left unturned on either side.
After considerable alteration the
jury rendered a verdict of guilty, and
under the law, as the Judge charged
them, fixed his punishment at two
years minimum and four years maxi
mum, but the Judge further charged
that they could reduce his punish
ment to that of a misdeameanor if
they saw fit; they did recommend a
misdemeanor punishment. The Judge
could have disregarded this recon-
mendation but he stated that he had
not seen proper so far in the admin
istration of the duties of his Office to
disregard the recommendation of the
juries and that in view of this recon-
mendation he would fine him $1,000
and add to that six months in the
changing.
Hetricks counsel Immediately made
a motion for a new trial and gave
bond. It is said that pending
the hearing he is assisting in the
operation of a cotton mill or hosiery
mill at Cornelia. The motion is set
for a hearing on May 9th at Mari
eta.

GRAND JURY REQUESTS
MANY IMPROVEMENTS
Suggest 100000 Bond Issue For
County Roads. Other Matters
Are Commended to Citizens

Sweeping improvements in Cobb
county were recommended by the
grand jury of the March term of
court which adjourned last week.
The Jurymen reviewed and inves-
tigated the road situation and deci-
ded that there was just one way to
get good roads and maintain them in
the county. According to their
judgement it is impossible to build
serviceable roads and keep them up
on the funds now available for that
purpose and they saw no other way
than bond issue to put the county
roads in the condition they ought to
be in for travel. Following the lead
ora number of other counties in the
state they recommended 4 bond issue
roads. NJ
( The unsanitary condition of the
Marietta court house was looked into
by the jurymen and recommendations
regarding repairs and improvements
were made.
The health work under the Ellis
Law was reviewed and DR.. Todd com
mended by the jury.
The jury also investigated the
county school superintendent salary
and found it inadequate and recon.
mended that it beSraised from $1,000
to $500 per year.

Mrs. Moore was charged with for

statute that would permit him to
make the sentence less than two

INCREASE RECOMMENDED.
Macarthur Would Have West Point
Cadets Number ESQ.

.T -
An increase in size of the cadet corps
at the West Point military academy
from 1884 to $500 Is recommended by
Bfigadier General Douglas Macarthur,
superintendent Of the academy, in his
annual report to the secretary of war,
made public Thursday. The academy
at the present time, the report shows,
can train only one-third Of the officers
needed even fora a peace time army of
15o, ,oe0 men and would fall Short, it
was said, of providing the nucleus Of
officer material desired for training
civilians in time of|emergency. -,
"As our standing army goes down in
numbers" he continued, the enroll
of the military academy should go up.
The basic idea which led to the fouf-
dation of the academy was the desire to
have a nucelus. to train the great body
of our citizens In time of. emergency,
rather than be forced to keep large
bodies of men continually under arms.
Over century ago, with a population
Of scarcely more than 100000 the
American government authorized a ca
det corps of over ESQ. Today'with that
population increased twenty fold tho
number of cadets in training, is scarce

thorized. 80 - -. ,-'..-' - ''-' {: , -,

INSURANCE co.. to say nothing of
those not insured at all, or insured IN
some other company, will be amazed
when they see and have explained to
them the new policy to be issued by
the Grand Old Company beginning
with January, 1922. II will include all
the liberal features embraced in the
policies now being sold and every fea-
ture in the 1922 Model will be made to
apply automatically to every policy
then in force, regardless of when Is
sued. The new policy is simply. the
sum total Of the experience OF the sue
cessive managements coyeringa period
of more than seventy six years. Not
in years, If ever, have the contracts or
any life insurance company in the
United States been nearly so liberal as
those of the Mutual Benefit, and the
1922 Model goes as far ahead Of the
1910 Model, which is now being sold. as
the 1910 Model is ahead OF all other 5.
Ii, buying life insurance the ONE I'M
