Peek MURDER TRIAL
HOLDING ATTENTION
OF SUPERIOR COURT
Trial Began Early On Thursday
Morning And At Night The
Evidence Was Still Being TAX
en-Case of DR.. Knott Thrown
Out.

The trial of Mr.. J. S. Peek on the
charge of numbering his wife began
the second thing ON the docket of the
Superior court adjourned July term
this morning, Thursday. and at the
close of court at dark on Thursday
night, the hearing of the evidence
was still in progress. 1t is expected
the case will come to close some
time Friday, perhaps late in the af-
ternoon.
After considerable sparring on the
part of counsel for the state and the
defense the following jury was drawn
j. P. Shipp, C. K. Carrouth, w. D..
McClesky, c. McCollum, E. M. Cas-
tleberry, NJ. L. Daniel. H. A. Medlin,
Henry Adair, ]. B. Adair, H. S. Mar
tin, W. L. Howard and NJ. A. Griggs.
This is the case of most widespread
interest for the adjourned term. 1t
is stated that the counsel for the de-
fense js making its fight on the
grounds of insanity on the part of
Cne de1endanC at the time the crime
was committed.
According to the statement of the
clerk of the court not more than Is
per cent of the cases that were to
come up for trial at this term have
as yet been disposed of and it is very
that more than half will be
gotten to before adjourning tomor-
row afternoon. Most cases so far
disposed of have been for possessing
liquor. The case of DR.. Knott, local
Chiropractor, charged with practic-
ing medicine without license was mol
pressed owing to the fact that since
the charge was made the Georgia

By Downing Gainesville 1870

Campbell to kick goals were failures.
Gainesville, 0.
Marietta kicked off in the 3rd and
held the foe for downs. The ball
passed into the hands of the Mari
eta boys and was worked steadily
down the field, crushing all opposi-
ton, which eliminated only when
Field got away with another end run
this time for Is yards, and 6 more
points were added to the score Of the
winning team. Score end of 3rd
quarter, Marietta, 18, Gainesville,
@.
In the last quarter Marietta sent
in 6 subs and the scoring for them
ended. 1t was in this quarter that
Gainesville did most of her gaining.
They decidedly outplayed the Mari
eta substitutes. Gilreath, for Car
tersville made several brilliant plays
for the opposition in this period.

RATE IS 40 CENTS
ON HUNDRED ABOVE
LAST YEARS. RATE
County Commissioners at Meeting
Tuesday Fix County and State
Tax Rate at $1.9O; Expect In
crease Will Pay off Entire In
debtedness This Year.

AT their regular monthly meeting
Tuesday he Cobb county commission
ers of roads and revenues fixed the
state and county taxes for Cobb coun-
ty for this year at $40 on the hun
dred dollars, which is an increase of
40 cents on the hundred over last
years rate, making the increase in
taxes that the citizens of the county
will have to pay over last year of APP
proximately fifty thousand dollars.
Fifty cents on the hundred dollars
was levied for state purposes and
$l.4O on the hundred forecoulty ~pur-
poses. $500
This rate coupled with the cUHneN
school tax of 3 1-2 mills. affecting
MI parts of the county with the ex-
ception of Marietta and Roswell, will
make the total tax rate for the ueo-
pie of the couny 1925 on the hundred
dollars.
The people of Marietta viii have a
tax rate, when the 81 40 rate for the
city is added, of $3.50 on the hun
dred dollars.
The highest rate levied during the
past several years is $3.50, and it
may be that the present rate of 81 90
constitutes high record mark in the
history of the county's taxes.
The reasons for increasing the tax
rate to the extent announced is given
by the commissioners as being for
the purpose Of paying off the indebt-
edness of the county, which was ap-
proximately $4,000 at the beginning
Of this year, and which has changed
but very little since then, it is stated.
The additional fifty thousand dollars
increase in taxes it is expected will
Just about pay off the complete in
debtedness, which has been running
for about ten years, and start the
county off free of debt the first Of
next year.
1t is said that most of the present
indebtedness was incurred thru the
construction of highways, primarily
that portion of the Dixie Highway
extending from Marietta to Smyrna,
which when completed will be a paved
road, and the highway extending
from Mason and Turner bridge to the
Paulding county line, hard sand
clay road.

In game full of drive, pep, and
intense rivalry the Marietta High
School football team continued on its
march of victory last Friday after
noon by defeating the Gainesville
High School eleven by the score of
IL to 0. on the latter's grounds.
The two teams averaged about the
same weight, around 143 pounds per
man, and for high school teams there
was an unusual amount of excellent
defensive and offensive work pulled.
On each of these the advantage was
decidedly in favor of the Marietta
boys as the closest the Cartersvillo
team ever came to a touchdown was
TO get the ball on the Marietta Highs
20 yard line.
Marietta made 8 first downs and
Gainesville 4. The former team re-
sorted to punts but one time in the
game and the latter four times.
Before the game started Carriers
vile was certain. of winning and to
make this certainty still more certain
lhey had about As men on the field in
uniform.
But almost before the game was
well under way the Marietta boys
mad carried the ball over the Carriers
me by two splendid end runs, by
Eeed and Field, a forward pass,
s.owler to Campbell, and then buck
1or touchdown by Fowler-only four
strokes on the part of Marietta and
me consumption of less than three
minutes of play.
The game was fairly even from
men until the End quarter when Field

Lum Dawlings, youth of II years
and son of Bob Rawlings, of Dallas
Georgia, was instantly killed about
II o'clock Monday morning at Aus
tell as he was alighting from a rap
idly moving thru freight on which,
it is said, that he had been taking a
free ride.
Death is said to have resulted from
the boy being pulled back under the
train either by suction or by mo-
mentum, and receiving a blow upon
the head, presumably by some pro-
lection on a box car. This blow
crushed in the skull. One of his
hands was run over and amputated,
but otherwise it is said that he was
not mangled.
1t seems from the best information
obtainable that young Rawlings with
two friends had caught the thru
freight at Dallas, their home, or near
Dallas, thinking that it would slow
up before going into Atlanta. AS
the train reached Austell it showed
no signs of stacking up, or at least
only very slightly, and fearing to be
carried into Atlanta on account of
arrest or other trouble, young Raw
lings decided to take chances of
alighting on the level open ground
at the Austell station. 1t was in the
attempt to do this that he was pulled
under the train and killed. The acci-
dent was in full view of number of
Austell people, it is said.
The identity of the dead youth
was unknown it is stated, until his
two companions, alighting at stop
further up the road, told his name
and address. The body was SHIPPED
to the boys parents in Dallas for
funeral and interment.

SNAKE KILLED IN DUE
WEST SEVEN FEET LONG;
COULD SWALLOW FRYER

Mr.. E. T. Reed, of the Due West
community, has acquired reputation
as being the champion snake killer
of his section, at least in regard to
size of snakes killed, according to the
Journals representative at that
place.
It is stated that he recently killed a
snake that measured z feet in length,
with a body, throat and mouth so
large that it was possible for it to
have swallowed a regular frying size
chicken.
The species of the snake was not
related to us, so this fact will have to
remain generally unknown until more
definite information can be acquired.
