SELLS HIGHWAY BILL
NOW BEFORE SENATE
$100,000,000 For Road Purposes
Passed House Now Goes
to the Senate.

Atlanta, Ga, Feb. 24.-The atten-
ton of good roads advocates through
out the southeast, and indeed, the en-
tire country, is now fastened on the
United States Senate, which has be-
fore it the Sells bill carrying $780,
100000 in federal aid for highway
construction. The measure passed
the house Of representatives a few
days ago, but in order that the high
way program Of the various states
may be completed for another year,
it is imperative that the senate enact
it into law before the end of the pres
ent session.
Only few days remain until the
present congress will adjourn. If
the Sells bill is not passed at this
session, great difficulties will be plac-
ed in the way of all states now en-
gagged in highway construction under
the federal aid sytem. Programs
cannot be mapped out unless it is
known just how much each state will
receive from the federal government.
Cooperating with the highway de-
partments of the other states and
with civic organizations throughout
the country. the state highway de-
partment of Georgia has forwarded
to Washington hundreds of resolu-
tons urging favorable and immediate
consideration of the Sells measure.
An appeal has been sent out to good
roads workers throughout the south
eastern states to communicate at
once with their respective senator's,
asking that the federal aid bill be
passed at this session.
Practically every county in Geor-
gia, through its county commissioners
has endorsed the Sells bill and adopt
ed resolutions urging its immediate
passage. Chambers Of commerce
and various other civic organizations
have taken similar action.
Many vitally important highway
projects in Georgia are ready to be
started as soon as it is known how
much federal money can be expected
for the coming year.

THE CROPS FOR
THIS SEASON

(By e. o. McMahan, County AGENT
One hears great many different
plans from the farmers, and for the
farmers, but one thing is pretty GER
tain about the coming year, and that
is that very little will be spent this
year for fertilizers, and it is wise to
act conservatively the coming year
Some will be obliged to act conser-
vatively. Even this may be over
done, however. For instance, one
hears that it is no use to buy fertil
izer at all. AS far as that goes, it
did not pay to grow cotton last year
at all, fertilizer or no fertilizer. But
how many farmer< would produce
three ourths of bale of cotton per
acre without anyf fertilizer? Some
acid phosphate is necessity in this
country, and, mixed with sulphate of
ammonia or cotton seed meal, or
used with barn yard manure, will
give very good results at a lower
cost per acre than anything that can
be used; but. of course, it should not
be purchased at as high a price as
last year.
The cotton acreage must be re-
duced if success is to be obtained in
1921. 1t seems absolutely necessary
in view of the latest estimate of a
nine-million bale carry-over predict
ed for this year. 1t would be foolish
to consider planting large acreage
in cotton this year. But to plant all
the cotton you can work without any
fertilizer at alias if your labor
counted FOR nothing--seems very
foolish also. The best results will
be obtained if the cotton acreage is
reduced to a few acres to the pillow
and these few acres fortified reason
ably we'll and cultivated well. This
will leaves more land to grow sup
plies for the farm and legJAnes and
green manure crops to be turned I'M
der and thus build up the soil SO that
it will not be necessary to buy so
much fertilizer in years to come.
Plans to rotate crops so that the
sell will become richer, producing
every possible thing to supply the
needs of man and beast on the farm.
A farm must be self-supporting to
pass such tests as we are now passing
through. Yet farmers are prone to

CONvICTS ESCAPE
COBB COUNTY CAMP
-Four Effect Escape BY Cutting
Wire and Prizing Bar in Jail
Window Monday Morning
2 RECAPTURED SAME DAY
Warden Secures Information of
Plans For Wholesale Delivery
of Prisoners

A plan for a wholesale getaway
at the county convict camp was un-
earthed Monday morning when four
negro convicts made their escape DUR
ing the breakfast hour, by cutting
the wire and breaking a bar in the
prison at the camp.
The convicts had been released
from the cages to get breakfast and
some Of them had gone into the ad-
joining room waiting orders to go
out for the days work, and during
this time four of them, Anderson
Franklin, Will Bryant, Fred Johnson
and "Geechie'', all in for terms of
from 10 to 40 years, cut the heavy
wire on the inside of window, priz-
ed and broke an iron bar and made
their escape through small hole.
The warden, Mr.. j. w. White, went
into the Jail thirty or forty minutes
later and noticed the absence of the
prisoners, and Immediately started a
search. Blood hounds were put on
the trail and late in the afternoon
two Of the fugitives. Anderson Frank
lin and "Geechie,' were captured by
Mr.. Mayor Fortner, on the Powder
Springs road few miles out of Ma
rietta. One Of the other convicts
was surrounded in a swamp for sew
era1 hours, where the water was too
deep for the dogs to trail him, but
made his escape.
The, officers have a clue as to the
whereabouts of both the convicts
still at large and they will probably
be captured soon.
Mr.. White, the warden, stated that
he had secured information from
some of the remaining prisoners that
a plan had been on foot to effect a
wholesale delivery A dilligent
watch will be kept. and all future at
tenpts will be readily frustrated.
One of the prisoners that escaped
and was recaptured had a sentence
of from 5 to 10 years depending on
his behavior. His sentence auto
matically becomes 10 years

The Marietta High school girls de-
feated Fulton High for the second
time this season Friday. Only a
small crowd was out to see the game
as it was generally conceded that
Marietta would have an easy road to
victory.
Marietta continues to hold second
place in the league. having lost only
one game and tina to Decatur, the
league leaders. They are counting
strong on evening up matters when
Decatur comes to Marietta and in
case Decatur remains undefeated to
that time Marietta will have chance
to tie them for first place and a
chance to win the pennant.

Lack Pep and Team Work.
Final Score is Is to Is.

AS was predicted, the Marietta
boys basket ball team had a hard
game with Griffin Friday night and
were also the victors.
The visitor were much heavier than
the local lads but lacked the speed
and pep displayed by the Marietta
quintet and were entertained in a
fast aft air which ended with score
of % to Is.
The local boys showed form and
team work seldom seen in high school
teams. They're a match for any
team Of their class in the state, and
in spite of the many basket ball af-
fairs that have taken place in Mari
eta the past few weeks, the boys are
beginning to draw big crowds and
the interest in their games is grow
ing.
Several of the individual players
could be singled out and praised for
his playing, but the whole team is
good and deserves mention as team.

and she has accepted it.
At the same time he sent a check
for $1,000 to the court at Buford
to pay forfeited bond and costs i'm

In view of these facts, the charges
in court against him have been
nol-prossed, thus closing an incident
which created much criticism Of
him during his campaign last year.
He probably did not care to be-
come senator while these charges
stood, whatever his followers believ-
