COBB COURT GRINDING
ON PETTY CIVIL SUITS
Much Time of Court Taken up
BY Gases of Small Importance.
Criminal Court Next Week.

Cobb Superior Court met Monday
and started for a week on the civil
calendar, most of the cases being
of very little interest to the general
public and involving small amounts.
Most of the time for two days was
taken up with suit between a negro
preacher and one of the officers of
his church over the ownership of
house and lot in Marietta. Natur-
ally this drew a large audience of
the members of the church and was
hard fought by able counsel on both
sides.
The injunction case against the
city board of lights and waterworks,
was on the calendar for Wednesday,
but had not been reached up to noon
on Thursday. This being the case
involving the right of the board to
pay the treasurer of the board sal
airy of $4,000, great interest in its
outcome has been evidenced.

ALL AMERICAN MEET
ENDORSED BY LEGION
State Body Sends Message to
Leaders in Madison Square
Garden in New York.

Atlanta, Ga, March 1.-THE
American Legion of Georgia has
sent its greetings and its endorsement
of the great all-American mass meet
ing to be held under the leadership of
the Legion at Madison Square Gar
den, New York, on March ID, as an
answer and national demonstration
against the revival of German propa-
ganda activities in the United States,
it was announced today by j. G. C.
Bloodworh, Jr., State Adjutant of the
Legion
Mr.. F. w. Galbraith, Jr., National
Commander of the Legion has been
placed in charge of arrangements for
the meeting by committee represent
ing fifty patriotic civic, fraternal, pro-
fessional and labor organizations. Mr..
Galbraith has sent word to Mr.. Blood
worth that the meeting will be the
"mightiest patriotic demonstration
Americans ever witnessed since the
Armistice." kilograms will be read
from every state in the union. On
behalf of the ex-service men of Geor-
gia, A. L. Henson, State Commander
of the Legion has wired Mr.. Gal
braith as follows:
Executive Committee, Georgia
Department, endorses unqualifedly
your national compaign against Ger

anything"
In his response to the Georgia greet
ings Mr.. Galbraith asserted that he
was being deluged with kilograms
from all parts of the country. He
writes:
"There has been nothing like it
since the wave of patriotic ardor en-
veloped the nation following our dec
laration of war against Germany. 1t
marks the spontaneous beginning of
a great All American counter often
sive against enemy propaganda which
is sweeping America. 1t is the natur-
al reaction from the national wave of
resentment which swept the country
in the wake of the exposure by the
American Legion Of the projected re-
vival of German propaganda afforts
in THIS country, the insidious objects
Of which were to astrange the United
States and those nations which were
our comrades in arms in war, and the
resortation to it's place of former
vi ,,,A oil
affairs of the powerful pro-German
political machine of which Horn Won
Bernsorff and others made such good
use in the imperial cause before we
entered the war. The cards are on
the table now. The disloyalists have
stated their case and America has
made its answer"

DECATUR HI HERE
FRIDAY NIGHT 7,3O
Will Contest With Local High
School For the Championship
of Girls Prep League.

The Marietta High school and De-
cautr High will play the game that
will decide whether of not Marietta
will have chance at the pennant or
Decatur go away champions of the
Prep League Friday night on the Y.
w. c. A. court.
Decatur hasn't lost single game
this season and Marietta has lost on
ly one in the league and that to De-
catur.
AS they stand now Decatur has one
game in the lead and if she wins Fri
day night the matter will be settled.
If Marietta wins the two teams will
play off the tie for the champion
ship.
The Marietta High school girls
are in fine trim for the game and
feel confident they will even up mat
tiers with Decatur. They outplayed
Decatur on her home court, but lost
the game on account of having so
many fouls called on them and the
accuracy with which each was &C
counted for.
A big crowd no doubt will be on
hand to witness the game Friday
night at 1880.

STATE DEPARTMENT
TAKES over ROAD
Cobb County to Furnish Road
Working Machinery. High
way Dept. will Supervise

BY an agreement just made by the
State Highway, Department with the
Cobb County Commissioners, that
department has taken over the up
keep of the Dixie Highway from Ma
rietta to the river at Collins Bridge.
The agreement provides the county
furnish a tractor and scrapes when
necessary to drag the dirt portion of
this road, but the labor and super
vision will be furnished by the State
Highway Department. The reason
for this agreement is that the state
department is willing to keep up the
main highways, but will not buy
dirt-road Working machinery, the
state roadsAll being paved as rapid
ly as possible.
An effort is now being made by
the commissioners to have a like
agreement entered by the depart
ment for the upkeep of the Dixie
Highway from Marietta to the Bar
tow County line above Acworth.
Mr.. Henry Ridgsway has been
placed in charge Of the road south
Of Marietta by; the Supervisor Of
Work for the 5th Division of state
roads.
The" State Highway Department
has recently contracted to keep up
the Dixie Highway for % miles
through Barlow County, but that
county has turned over to the de-
partment all it's tools, equipment and
labor, and will have to provide extra
gangs for its other county work. 1t
is said that there is much more work
to do on the Barlow roads than on
Cobb's roads, however.
The Cobb County Commissioners
have also made a contract with the
w. C. Hill Construction Company of
Birmingham to do the work which the
county is obligated to perform in con-
nection with the government in the
construction of the Bankhead High
way from the river to Austell, and
the Western Branch of the Dixie
Highway from Austell, by way of
Powder Springs, to the Paulding
County line.

COMPENSATION CLAIMS
SHOULD Be MADE NOW
Many Cases Have Not Yet Made
Claims for Adjustment and Blu
reau Is Anxious to Settle Up.

During the past two months in the
State Of Georgia the Bureau of War
Risk Insurance, in cooperation with
the American Legion, through it's
State Representative, Mr.. Harry A.
Wallerstein, has endeavored to reach
as many men personally in the State
who had claims against the Govern
ment because of injuries sustained
in service as possible, and the Allan
ia Office was successful in reaching
nearly six hundred claimants and
taking up their claims for adjust
ment with the Department.
There are still a great number of
men who have not yet looked into
their rights under the War Risk In
surance Act, and they are urged to
communicate either with the Bureau
of War Risk Insurance or the Ameri-
can Legion or the American Red
Cross if they have suffered phys
ical or dental disability in the SER
vice so that the proper action may be
taken on their claims.
All opportunity to reinstate in
surance has not yet been closed and
ex-service men can reinstate their
insurance on the payment of, two
monthly premiums and a full medi-
cal examination before July 1, 1921,
after which their opportunity will
cease for all time. Inquiries will be
answered and information promptly
furnished with reference to insur-
ance and compensation, and ex-ser-
vice men are urged to communicate
with the Bureau of War. Risk Insur-
ance, at 1876 Peachtree St, Atlanta,

GUY H. NORTHCUTT CHM.
GREATER GA. COMMITTEE
Has Accepted Leadership of Activ-
tiles in Cobb county. Tour set
For April Goth.

Guy H. Northcutt, Supt of the Ma
rietta Knitting Company will head the
movement for a greater Industrial
Georgia through a Greater Georgia
Tech in Cobb County. Announcement
that M. Northcutt had been offered,
and had accepted the Craftsmanship
of this important movement for this
county was made yesterday by Victor
Allen, Of Buford, General chairman
of the movement.
The Greater Georgia Tech cam
paign will begin April 20, under pc
culiarly favorable conditions. It's OBJ
jectve is $5,000,00O, to expand the
Georgia School of Technology into a
technical training institution capable
of an enrolment of at least 5000
students, and of training them as well
as any school in the world into pro-
ducers; men who will develop the
enormous natural resources of the
state, now for the most part either un-
tauched or sent out in crude form to
be made into valuable commercial pro-
ducts in other states, which thus reap
practically all the benefit and profit.
Georgia begins work on this fund
with challenge from Georgians in
New York City, headed by Ivy L.
Lee, that they will raise in New York
and the East 100000, if Georgia
will raise the remainder. On top of
this comes the approval of the Geor-
gia Cotton Manufacturers associa-
ton of resolution that its members
shall contribute 100000 to the
fund.

GEORGIA POSTMASTERS|
ARE ON ANXIOUS BENCH
Commissions Have Expired at
Nearly One Hundred of
The Georgia Offices.
REPUBLICANS AWAIT PLANS
Senate Policy of Refusing to Confirm
Has Held Open Many
Jobs For Them.

Almost a hundred Georgia postof-
fees are now held by postmasters
whose commissions. have expired, or
by postmasters whose confirmation
was refused by the senate during the
last year
Quite@a number Of others in the
state are held by postmasters whose
commissions will expire at an early
date and in few if any of those cas-
es it is expected that the present
incumbents will be reappointed, de-
spite the placing of all offices under
the civil service by Mr.. Wilson.
Many other postmasters who have
commissions to run for two or three
years have much hopes of three
years have much hopes of being per-
mtted to fill out their full terms, no
matter what may be their conduct
in office, for the reason that so many
hungry republicans are clamoring
for the places. Only those postmas-
tiers who have a short term to fill
expect to complete their terms.
Three Cobb county offices are
among those considered open, Smyr-
ma only recently having been made a
presidential office and its postmas-
ter not having been confirmed by the
senate, while the commissions of
both Roswell and Acworth postmas-
tiers expired on Wednesday of this
week.
The commission of Mrs. Clay in
the Marietta postoffice will expire
in November, 1922, while the Aus
tell commission is supposed to run
until June, 1924 f
1t has already been announced
that the policy of the present adj
ministration will be partisan, so it
remains to be seen what disposition
they will make of the Offices with
long terms yet to run. 1t is known,
however, that pressure for change
will be made in many instances.

CITIZENS TO VOTE ON
STREET PAVING BONDS
April 18th Fixed AS the Date to
Determine the Future Prog
ress of Marietta.
LIST SHOWS sOs REGISTERED
No Women Are Yet Registered To-
Vote In Marietta City Elections.
Can Register This Fall.

April 18th has been fixed as the,
date for holding Marietta's paving,
bond election and we carry in an
other column an advertisement of
the ordinance showing the details OF
the proposed bond issue.
1t provides for the issue 100000
of five per cent, thirty year bonds.
1t is not thought probable that
there will be any opposition to tlYe
bonds, but it is important that hea-
Wy vote be polled in favor of he is
sue, as this always has bearing up-
on the price obtained for bonds.
The registration is 903, and as no
women are registered, they win not
be qualified to vote in this election.
Our present charter only provides
for registration once in two years
and this fall will be the first time
women may register for city cleo
tions. The registration held just be-
fore the proposed city charter and
manager election of last fall was au-
thorized by special act of the leg
islature.
Many of the advocates of bonds
have expressed regret that the wom-
en- will not be qualified for this cleo
ton, but the women may greatly
help the cause in seeing that full
and favorable vote is polled-being
yet without vote she has a pow
erful influence.
Many women have already reg
istered, however, for county and
state elections and are fully quail
fled, except for city elections.

NET INCOME
ONLY $150,000,000;
TREASURY MUST PAY
(Ry Associated Press)

WASHINGTON. Jan. S.-The rail-
roads of the country earned only about
sl50,00O,000 last year, or 1866, 900, 900
less than in 1919, according to esti-
mates prepared by H. P. Parmelee, di-
rector of the bureau of railway econ
omics, made public today.
Mr.. Parmelee estimates that in 1920
the carriers had a gross revenue of
s6, 200, 100000 and expenses amounted
to $3.50, 100000, leaving a gross in
come of $450,000,000. Deduction OF
taxes and equipment rentals amount
ed to $300.000,0O and left the net in
come at $150,000, 600
This sum was far short of the gov
ernment's guaranty and treasury and
other officials have estimated that the
government must pay the roads about
$500, 900 for the six months period
of guaranteed returns which expired
on Sept. l. New rates became effect
i've then and their operation served to
materially increase the carriers in
come which for the first ten months of
the year showed a net deficit.
