THE PEOPLE HAVE A RIGHT TO
"-''-'-' KNOW -- ------.-I.

The tax payers of Cobb county are
dissatisfied with the present system
and management Of Roads and Rev
enues and are quite willing for
change provided they see and un-
derstand that said change is for the
better or will relieve the present sit
uation. But they are not foolish
enough to go at this thing blind or
in other words, not know just what
they are voting for.
The people are, if l mistake not,
not only talking but thinking as they
have never thought before. The news
has been published that bill has
been passed by the recently adjourn
ed general assembly Of Georgia that
would call for an eection in the coun-
ty for the tax payers to say whether
they would continue the present plan
Of five county commissioners or would
they prefer one man to handle the
county's financial affairs.
But what puzzles US is how are we
to vote intelligenay on this very
important matter unless we know just
what this bill contains, just how this
bin reads and just what this bill looks
and sounds like. 1t was Or nj n
nation that several men from differ
ent sections of the county were to be
asked to help sketch or draft this bill,
this was never carried out, and so far
we have not been able to find but one
man that has seen the bill as he sup
posed it was passed. He was a grand
juryman and stated that he could not
vote on the bill inteligently without
studying it some. So, for the benefit
of every man, woman and child and
most especially the tax payers of the
county, we kindly ask that the good
old Marietta Journal, the longtime
friend of the people, get busy and
publish this bill paragraph by para
graph, in a good bold type so that
the people may know just what they
are voting on, they are entitled to
know in order that they may vote in
diligently; and without the facts be-
fore them they certainly cannot know
whether it is good bill or would be
a good law or not.
What do you say about it Allen? .

Long Lost Brother Supposed
Dead Found BY Kennesaw Man
A. M. Duvall Locates Brother ].
J.. Duvall After an Absence of
Many Years-Both Are Veter-
ans of the Civil War.

That the expected dead are not al
ways dead, or the unknown forever
unknown, is the experience of A M.
Duvall, of Kennesaw. The expected
and long feared dead, and the UNI
known and feared forever unknown
in regard to whereabouts, etc, was
A. M Duvall's brother, J. l. Duvall.
The brother had done his part in
the war of the Confederacy, had re-
NAMED among the known for a few
years after the surrender of Gem
eral Lee, and had then disappeared
in the direction of the West. Kenne-
saw was then not Kennesaw at all,
but Big Shanty.
Thirty and more years passed and
nothing was heard from his brother
by Mr.. A. M. Duvall. Big Shanty
changed to Kennesaw and grey hair
and feeble steps took the place of
youthful locks and steps. The bro
theirs whereabouts could not be as
certained and doubts crept in as to
the lost brother being still in the land
of the living. The doubts at last grew
INTO certainty and the long missing
BROTHER was finally cherished in mem
Try as only the dead are cherished.
Then, one day, very recently, there
anne a letter bearing the name of
\. M. Duvall, addressed to Big Shan
". The sleuths of the postal depart
nent ferreted out the proper desti-
nation despite the fact that there was
40 longer a Big Shanty. The letter
vas opened with curiosity on the part

osity changed to unexpected and al
most uncomfortable happiness, for

now residing in Tyler Ala, and was
an inquiry as to the whereabouts and
existence of one Mr.. A. M. Duvall.
And the dead was no longer dead for
either brother, or the unknown, lon
ger unknown for either.

Bv Lost Mountain Correspondent

BV Lost Mountain Correspondent
The tent meeting at the Midway
PRESBYTERIAN church closed Wednes-
day night with seventeen accessions
to the church roll, by experience.
Rev. J. A Trostle, who led the SER
vices. preached the gospel pure and
simple, and the large crowds that
attended were evidence of the inter-
est in his sermons
Rev. Mr.. Ayers, with the assistance
of a large choir, furnished some very
fine music. We feel sure the entire
community has been benefited by
this meeting and much good has been
done. The Christian people have
been brought close together and many
reconsecrated themselves for greater
service in the Christian life.
Besides the number joining Mid
way several others expressed de-
sire to go to the other churches.
Rev. Mr.. Trostle in ten days
meeting at Mars Hill will complete
his work in the Cherokee Presbytery
and will go thence to Virginia where
he has accepted charge
We would not forget to express
the appreciation Of the community to
Robert Gaines Of Kennesaw Mte
Arthur Rollins, of Roswell, Mr.. Had

man orchestra, Of Marietta, for their
assistance with instruments at times
during the meeting.

WHITE BEET, SUGAR
AND FEED TUBER,
ADAPTED TO COBB

Evidence of the fact that the wnitel

grown in Cobb county was demonstrat
ed by DR.. Kemp, ca Marietta, who re-
Gently brought ti4c Journal an unua
ualIy large srco lien which was grow

has something like sixteenth of an
acre, all doing N.ll, and that each
beet viii average n weight from 3 ID
5 EosfasiS
THIS variety nf beet is seldom seed
IN this county CT section, but is grown
en- a large scale m certain portions d
the .$orth and West, where, in addi-
ton to being grown for the purposes
OF making Slo2r is also grown exten-
sively as stock feed, being excel,-
tionally we'll suited as feed for
mich and beef cattle.
DIR. Kemp states that the yield per
acre is unusually large and being a
very hardy tuber requires but little
cultivation as compared to many 9TH
er staple crops.
The beet is fed to cattle in much
the same manner as turnip, mere-
ly requiring cutting into fairly small
sized chunks and mixed with bran,
hulls or other feed.
DR.. Kemp believes that the farm
ers of this county and state can BE
greatly benefited by taking up the
growing of the sugar beet, and Ne
gives it as his opinion that such will
be done on reasonably large scale in
the near future.

der trials held in Georgia in great
many years was the second trial OF
Vernon Vincent, who was charged
with the murder of Smith Treadwell

At the former trial it was report
ed that the jury stood eleven to one
for acouittal. At this trial the jury
found him guilty Of murder straight

onment.

cution by Clay and Blair, of Mariet-
la and Vincent was defended by

WELL GAS PROVES
FATAL To ROSWELL
WORKMAN SATURDAY
Dead Body Rescued From Deep
Well After Seven Hours by
Neighbors and Friends
SEVERAL ESSAY RESCUE
Finally Brought to the Surface by
George Lanier, of Atlanta
but found dead.

Frank Sample, workman on the
Baker farm, on the Dairymple road,
near Roswell, Saturday met death as
the result of inhaling gas fumes in
a newly constructed well, from the
depths of which his dead body was res
cued only after seven hours of hero
ic work on the part of friends and
neighbors.
His body was brought to the sur
face at l o'clock by George Lanier, of
Atlanta. Sample was dead from as
phyxiation and all efforts at resus-
citation proved futile. 1t is under
stood that sample had been warned
by Mr.. Baker of the possibility of his
encountering gas in the well.
Heroic efforts were made to reach
his body and bring it to the sur
face when, following his failure to
come up, those at the top beanie alar-
med.
In the efforts tc rescue Sample sew
erel men essayed the descent into
the well, and one, w. C. Jeffries, of
Atlanta, an expert well-digger rushed
from Atlanta by Eugene Dickey, was
overcome by the fumes to such an err
tent that after two prolonged strug-
giles to attach rope to Samples body
had failed, he had to be taken, half
unconscious, back to Atlanta for emer-
gency treatment.
The blasting was done Friday af-
ternoon and Saturday morning Sam
pie and a man named Baker, owner
Of the farm, started to clean out the
broken rock, at depth of about for
ty feet. It seems they reached the
bottom before noticing the heavy
fumes which still settled in the cav
ity. Both were overcome, but Baker
was able to call for help. He was
rescued, but when the rescuers sought
Sample it was found he was wedged
in rift Of the rocks and could not
be readily reached.
Use Gas Mask.
Neighbors from the adjoining farms
including Aldine Chambers, we'll
known Atlanta attorney, and owner
of a place near by, rushed to the
scene and telephone call brought Mr.
Dickey and Jeffries
The latter put on a soldiers gas
mask, brought with him, but before
he got to the bottom of the well it
appeared that the mask was not func-
tioning and he discarded it. Holding
his breath and fighting against time,
Jeffries tried to fasten a rope to the
PROSTATE form lying wedged in the
rocks. He was losing consciousness
when drawn to the surface, but in a
few minutes insisted OH descending
again
This time, before being Overcome by
the fumes, Jeffries succeeded in at
taching rope to one arm of the UNI
conscious man, and was himself drawn
up, nearly asphyxiated. His condi-
ton was so alarming that Mr.. Dickey
and others got him into an automo-
bile and rushed him back to Atlanta,
where he was reported out of danger
but terribly week, following emergen-
cy treatment.
Sample had been dead for more
than two hours when finally rescued
by Lanier, who entered the well by
using an army gas mask.

The 10000 spectators were disgustedv
at the showing OF their ball nine and
just fingered around to watch Babe
Ruth lose the old horsehide. Babe
obliged in the sixth inning. Wienecke,
a southpaw, served the ball, which was
propelled by the Sultan of Swat over
the right field bleachers for the long
est homer the Babe has ever hit in
Chicago. The ball was still travelling
at high rate of speed when its prog
ress was halted by an armory.
Bob Shawkey did the pitching for
New York, and after a somewhat
wabbly start settled down to real bust
ness Not a hit did the White Hose
get from Bob after the fourth inning
Score on an Odd Play
The Sox scored a run in the first
inning, which Johnson opened with
single to center. Mulligan followed
tory. Eddie Collins sacrificed, pitcher
to first. Strunk banged one down to
pipp, the ball hitting Wally on the
foot and then bouncing to Ward, who
tossed out Strunk at first. Johnson
scored on the odd play
The Yanks made this one run look
lonesome in the third, when the
Gotham lads batted all the way around.
So fierce was the Yank attack that
lanky Wilkinson, the Sox pitcher, was
removed in favor of McWeeney.
Wally Schang began the fruitful
third by drawing a pass. Shawkey
singled to center, putting his battery
mate on third Miller hit safely over
second, scoring Schang. Peckinpaugh
sacrificed Ruth walked and Baker
also strolled filling the bases and end
IL
Weeney the next Chicago pitcher, was
no Improvement. He promptly walked
Meusel, forcing Shawkey in with
run. Collins tossed out Pipp, but Ruth
scored on the play.
Ward doubled off Mulligan's glove,
Baker and Meusel tallying. Ward
counted with the sixth run soon after
ward, when McWeeney uncorked wild
pitch
Shawkey Slightly Perturbed
The White Sox worried Shawkey
by Peck, a single by Collins and a
double by Strunk manufacturing two
runs.
In the fourth the Yanks broke loose
again, singles by Shawkey and Peck,
an infe' out and a double steal net
ting two tallies. With Wienecke pitch
ing for Chicago in the fifth, the Hug
men picked up another run. Meusel
walked and worked his way home on
q bunt by Pipp and single by Shaw
KEY.
The sixth inning was the occasion
Of Ruth's terrific clout over the fence.
Peck, who had walked, led the jubilant
Babe across the plate. The game was
stepped by rain at the start of the
eighth, just after Bob Meusel had
smashed out a triple.
