I. Barton Ford, Jr., Winner End Prize
Former Marietta Bay.
Since writing the above, it has been
learned that still another of the prize
winners, T. Barton Ford, Jr., winner
of the second prize, is also, in a way,
a Marietta product, inasmuch as he
was born in this city, his parents hav-
ing moved to Atlanta while he was a
child. He also has relatives in this
city, being the nephew of Miss Laura
Ford. who has been for many years
a member of the Marietta public
school faculty.
From this it seems as if Marietta
has made very nearly clean sweep
of the contest. The first, second and
third prizes being the only actual pri-
zes-thc fourth winner receiving no
prize unless one of the four is the
winner of the National prize-so that
all the prizes given in the contest have
been awarded to either present or for
'mer Marietta residents.
Ph:s is only another indication of
the manner in which Marietta and
Cobb county show the. rest of the
state how things are done.

Though the French declare the Leip-
zig trials of alleged war criminals are
farcical, and have withdrawn from the
commissions watching the proceedings,
the trials are going on, and last week
there was revived interest because two
German lieutenants were arralgned
charged with submarine frightfulness.
They commanded the U-boat that sank
the British hospital ship Landovery
Castle, and are accused of attempting
to murder the entire personnel of the
vessel, including the wounded and the
Red Cross nurses, after they real. sed
their mistake in sinking the ship The
defendants refused to testify, but
members of the crew told how 1t was
decided to hide all traces Of the crime
and how the 0vercrowded iifeboats
were shelled and sunk. The
court then surprised the allied watch.
ers by calling a dozen Germans who
testified to alleged British atrocities
at sea, and maze the charge that the
steamship Baralong flew the American
flag when 1t sunk the German subna-
rlne U-31. Some OF them sw0re the
British used lifebOats as decoys and
carried troops and munitions aboard
hospital ships. All OF this was In

Worth County Jail Filled.

Sylvester, Ca, July 14.-Sheriff
j. N. Sumner reports that he has 33
prisoners in the Worth county Jail,
consisting of 8 white men, 8 negro
women and 81 negro men.
Very few are able to make bond
and the sheriff is wondering if he
will be able to take care of all the
others that it becomes necessary be-
fore the next term of Superior court,
which will be the first Monday in
August. This is the largest number
of prisoners ever confined in this jail
at one time.

Would Make Burke into Is Counties.
Waynesborc, Ca, July 12-The
present session Of the Georgia Legis-
lature will probably be asked by the
representatives from Burke county to
pass legislation creating a county for
each of the towns in Burke county.

The present new county craze has
hit Burke right in the middle and the
fact that these different towns can
ask for county each makes the poo
pie of Waynesboro contemplate ask

extend their city limits for three
miles around and then call that
Burke county.

ling to put up for the expense even
to building the courthouses and jails

Representative Dixon, who is in
the house from Jenkins, will probab-
~ favor such legislation for il will
help him in his race for attorney gem
eral and give him a number of coun-
ties where he is favorably known.
These little towns are progressive and
want to grow with the other towns in
the state, and it is very probable that
the legislature will be asked to waive
the usual formality of advertising the
constitutional amdndnient creating
these counties and that the people
will not have to exercise their right
of vote as to whether they want a
county or not. Truly this section of
the country is progressing and with
old Eurke county giving up about
fifteen new counties instead of re-
naming the best county in the state,
will be the mother of fifteen of the
best counties in Georgia, and add to
the growing and amending list of new
ones now being proposed.

Backing up the statements of Sec
rotary of the Treasury Mellon, Presi-
dent Harding went before the senate
and urged that action on the soldier
bonus bill be deferred indefinitely.
The reasons given by both the PreSl.
dent and the secretary were purely
financial, and both of them declared
in effect that If the bill were passed
tax reduction would be impossible and
the financial stability Of the country
would be imperiled.
Il know the feelings of my own
breast and that of yours and the crate
full people Of this republic" the Presi.
dent said. 'But no thoughtful person
possessed with all the facts, Is ready
for added compensation for the
healthy, self-rellant masses Of our
great armies at the cost of a treas.
ury breakdown, which will bring its
hardships to all the citizens of the re-
public"
AT the same time the President de.
clared himself most emphatically In ia

centrate on tax and tariff revision,
especially the former. He told the
senate that ''there is confessed disap-
pointment that so little progress has
been made in the readjustment and re.
duction OF the wartime taxes"
The Democratic senators began a
fierce fight against the motion to re-
commit the bonus bill, Senator Rob.
inson Of Arkansas assuming the lead.

opposed to the bonus. However, 1t
was taken for granted that the melton
would prevail.
The Sweet bill, providing for ade-
Quate relief for disabled veterans and
for the consolidation OF relief agen,
cies was favorably reported by the
subcommittee to the senate finance
committee, but its progress was halt

1t was said Lloyd George and Lord
CurzOn foreign minister, would come
as the representatives of Great Brit
ain, and this stirred up ar amusing
row over there. The Times declared
editorially that neither of those men
is fitted "by his position, his tempera-
ment, and his past career to take d.
rect part in these negotiations.
The premier retorted with an order
that representatives of the Times, the
Daily Mail and the Evening News, all
controlled by Lord NOrthcliffe, should
be denied access to information given
out to the press generally at the for
cign office and by the prime minister's
secretaries at 10 Downing street. How
Lloyd George can justify such blow
at the liberty and independence of the
press remains to be seen. Perhaps
he will not try to do so.
1t Is interesting to note that COM
mittee Of the League of Nations met
IN Luxembourg on Saturday, under
the presidency of Nj. Viviani, to con-
slider disarmament Officials of the
league at Geneva assert the league is
not yet considering abandoning its dis
armament plans because of the action
of the United States. 1t will be still
more interesting to see what will hap
pen If both the league and the Wash
ington conference adopt different dis
armament projects.
