ROAD TAX REGISTRATION
DOES NOT APPLY TO COBB.
Only Counties of $4,000 to 10000
Are Effected.

Last week in speaking of a road
tax registration law passed by the
last legislature We failed to note that
it only applied to counties of from
$4,000 to $4,000 population, and
therefore did not effect Cobb county.
Clerk Jack Miller says, however,
he is satisfied that The Marietta Jour
nal is being read in Cobb county, for
people have been pouring into his
office ever since to register. We re-
greet the error.

KNITTING MILLS
PRODUCTS ON SALE
1000 DOZEN PAIRS SOLD.
Local Merchant Places Gsods ID
Stores Over State and Win Offer
Them for Sale Here.

Special efforts have been brought
to bear in a number Of sections
throughout the country to get the
mills and plants back in. operation
after the business depression which
was responsible for so many Of them
closing down. 1t is quite fitting that
an enterpr!sing and progressive Ma
rietta firm should cooperate with the
the Marietta Knitting Company to
start the wheels of that concern NOV
ing again and give employment to
800 to 500 men and women, who have
been out of employment since the
mills closed several weeks ago.
The Marietta Knitting Company
ran as long as there was an order in
sight and until the warehouse was
packed and they were forced to dis
continue.
The Standard Mercantile Company
and the Jno. c. Cogburn Company
propose to take one thousand dozen
pairs of the present stock of Radium
half hose at "a loss to the manufacb-
urer and place them on sale in the
Golden Rule Stores" over the coun-
try at exactly cost in an effort to-
move the warehouse stock of the Ma
rietta Knitting Company and give
give them a chance to resume opera
ton and employment of their former
force of several hundred people.
The plan is to offer the hose for
sale in boxes of six pairs at $1.5O
box, which is 25 cents a pair and
less than manufacturers cost. The
half hose are now offered for sale in
Marietta at the Standard and Jno. G.
Cogburn's and are also being placed
on sale in other stores over the state.
If every man in Cobb county
should take advantage of this big
opportunity. several thousand pairs
would be marketed right here and
they would be cooperating in the eff
fort to start things to moving and
bring Marietta and Cobb county back
to normal conditions.
If the knitting mills resume opera
ten it will not only give employment
to several hundred Cobb county citi-
zens, but will create market for
some of the Cobb county cotton and
will work out as direct impetus
business in this section.

HIGHER COURT UPHOLDS
MAYOR BRUMBY'S SALARY

The Court of Appeals has reversed
the ruling of Judge Blair in the case
of the mayors salary, which was car
ried up last spring.
Judge Blair held that it was not
constitutional for the mayor to draw
two salaries, while he was in position
to create one of the offices and FIX the
salary by reason of his ether office.
The mayor was getting salary of
$4,000 year from the city as may
or and another salary Of $4,000 a
year as the treasurersof the board Of
lights and waterworks.
Under this decision the mayor will
ask for some 100000 back salary.

HIGHWAY PROGRAM
NOT DEFINITE
Congress Must Act on Macarthur
Bill Before Plans take Shape
With Any Certainty

In q statement issued by the high
way department. it is pointed out that
there cdn be no definite announce
ment as to the highway construction
program for the twelve months be-
ginning July 1, 1921, because of the
fact that congress has not yet taken
final action on the Macarthur bill,
which carries the appropriation of
federal funds for good roads pur
poses. Many inquiries are being re-
ceived by the department as to the
program for the next fiscal year, but
until the national legislative body
takes decisive action on the Macarthur
measure, highway construction plans
must be held in allegiance, says the
department.
The bill in question appropriates
$100,000,000 in federal aid to be dis
tributed to the several states under
the good roads act. AS originally
drawn, the measure provided $780,
000,000 annually for a period of five
years, but in it's present form, only
one years appropriation is provided.
The state highway construction pro-
gram for the present fiscal year has
yet more than five months to run and
as congress takes the necessary action
in providing additional federal aid
funds, the new program will be per-
fected, it is announced.
Special emphasis is being laid by
the department on the enunciation of
policy ais contained in. the recent ad-
dress of w R. Neel, state highway
engineer, before the Georgia Automo-
bile Association and given cordial APP
proval by Governor-elece Thomas w.
Hardwick The departments state
ment calls attention to the fact that
in its work for the completion of the
state highway system, the underlying
principal is the opening up of the en-
tire system to serve the whole state
rather than the construction of small
Stretches of theoretically correct roda
in5isolated spots.
'The first consideration is that the
whold seate shah have transportation
service" says the department state
ment "Our problem is to put the
whole system into passable condition
at the earliest possible date, making
its construction conform to uniform
plan so that when the work is finally
complete, it shall be welded into one
harmonious whole.

= The woman, who refuses to give
Ter home address, says she came out
to. Marietta from Atlanta at the sug-
egestion of some short, stout man in
Atlanta, who told her he had lived in

She came to Marietta, presented
| the check to Mr. T. W. Read after
making "a purchase Of two pairs of
overalls, and was given SIT in change.
According to the woman's statement,
she met Walders after she had made
! the purchase and that he knew moth
lsing about the forgery, but had con-
xented to carry the package Of over
alls at her request and that they were
: planning to catch the street car at
Buffers crossing to Atlanta, when she
was arrested. Walders escaped ar
rest at the time by entering a store
or running away. Later he was ar
rested with the package when at
tempting to board a car at the same
: place.
Walders, who said he lived near
Dalton, Ga, claims that he came to
Marietta to get job at the Brumby
Chair Factory and that he was APP
preached by the woman while stand
ing in front Of hardware store look
ing at some army shells. He claims
the. woman told him her name was
Maude Moore and asked him to carry
the package for her because her hands
were cold. After they had walked
several blocks down Atlanta street
Walders claims Mrs. Moore told him
she wanted to catch the car to At

going that way also. They missed
the ear at Buffers and Policeman
Iatimer arrested the woman and
few minutes later Walders was ar

Mrs. Moore would not give her
home address or tell anything about
her relatives further than that she
had been married IA years and that
she and her husband had been parted
for two months She claims to have
been looking for employment for sew
eral days in Atlanta, but failed to find
a position, and was telling the short,
stout man about her destitute condi-
ton, when he made the suggestion
,to1her about forging the check
q She is rather tall and slim, has dark
hair and looks to be about 80 years
old.

BASKET BALL FANS
HAVE GREAT WEEK
Many Games Staged on Local
Courts During Past Few Days.
Marietta Defeats Fulton.

Marietta has been the scene of
many basket ball battles this week
and fans of that line have not wanted
for excitement for a few days any
way.
Monday afternoon the first game of
the season for the Marietta High
school girls in the Prep League, was
played at the Old Academy with the
Fulton quintet, the Marietta five
walking away with the game by a
score of 6 to 2. Fulton's new team
proved entirely unable to contest
with the local veterans and were de-
feated without field goal to their
credit.
The Marietta team never played
better basket ball and from every
indication they will give any team in
the league run for the pennant.
