WILL HAVE POTATO
CURING HOUSE COM
PLETED BY SEPT. 10
MIR. Legg Explains Method of Cur
ing the Potatoes. Will Use
Wells System of Curing

Mrs. J. w. Legg says that his po-
tato curing house is coming along
fine and that it will be completed
somewhere around September 10th.
None of the equipment has arrived
as yet but the building is practically
completed.
Mr.. Legg will use the wells I'm
proved Air Method" of curing the
potatoes. This process differs radi-
cally from the one now in use by
the state and if it does what they
claim it is great improvement. In
this method cold air is passed over
the potatoes for about three days.
This is to remove any moisture that
may be OH the potato. Next hot air
is passed over the potatoes for about
three or four days. This cures the
peeling of the potato and leaves the
nOurishment of the plant intact. At
ter this cold air is again passed over
them to close the pores so that no
nOurishment may evaporate.
This method enables the potatoes
to stay healthy for longer length
OF time that is otherwise possible, 1t
is claimed. Mr.. Legg has experiment
ed with both systems and says the
difference of life and weight keeping
Is remarkable.

Marietta Wins From
Powder Springs, 20

In one of the fastest games of the
season here Saturday, Marietta took
the fast Powder Springs bunch into
camp in great fashion, the score be-
ing to O.
Lefty" Parker was on the mound
for Marietta and that's "'nuf sed''.
You can look at the score for other
information. The whole Marietta
team played good ball behind Parker
and as result the Powder Springs
boys did not score. This is a feat
that is not often pulled on the visi-
tors, because they have one Of the
best teams in the state
Hobson, for Powder Springs, nit
ched a nice game, and if his team
mates had hit a little better there
would have been different story to
tell. But the best team won. or we
were in luck, or whatever you want
to call it.
Batteries:
Marietta-Parker and Minis.
Pow. Sprgs.-Hobson and McTyre.
Time--1 $50.

HIGHWAY BILL PASS
Ed SENATE WITHOUT
A DISSENTING VOTE
Bill Sponsored by Local Woman's
Club. Will Not Come Up in
House Until next Session

The bill sponsored by the local
Woman's Club regulating lighting of
automobiles on the public highways
of the state passed the State senate
this week without a dissenting vote.
The bill will not come up for vote
in the House of Representatives on
account of the many bills already to
be considered by that body before it
adourns today.
1t is hoped that the bill will be
passed by the house the first thing
when they meet next year. It viii
not be necessary for the bill to go
back to the senate but will become a
law as soon as it is passed by the
house and o. KID by the Governor.
This bill has created much inter-
est and favorable comment through
out the state. The Marietta Woman's
club has been the most active organ
ization in getting the bill passed.
The bill originally introduced was
ammended in a few instances.
The local Club has been doing
splendid work for Marietta, and the
State as whole, and we should feel
proud of it for it is one of the most
active clubs in the state.

Gold is Found On
Farm Near Black
wells, Recently

Can you imagineI what a modern
golc rush would be like. With fiv-
vers instead of Ox-carts and covered
wagons; with paved highways instead
of mountain trails; with traffic COPS.
instead of the indians; with modern
dredges instead Of the romantic
pick and shovel; with cold drink
stands instead of saloons. In fact. a
real modern gold rush would hold
no more romance than a modern
dance.
The other day Mr.. H. E. Kerley
brought a gold nugget up to the Of
fee. 1t weighed eleven penny weight
and by what Mr.: Kerley called sim
pie figuring it was found that it was
worth ten whole dollars. The mug
get was found on a farm near Black
wells, Ga. Mr.. Kerley said that he
did not ask the name of the party
and just bought the nugget as a mat
ter of business and at first did not
think of anything unusual about it.
However, it is interesting to spec
ulate on what modern Cobb Coun.
ty Gold rush would be like.

Campmeeting Was One of Most
Successful Held in Many Yrs.
Was Well Attended

The revival services closed at the
Marietta Camp Ground, Wednesday
night. This was one of the best
meetings in years, from every stand

the average and the large crowds
were unusually attentive. The great

est in the history of the camp meet
ing, and also one of the largest in
many years. People from all over
county and adjoining counties were
there and the great tabernacle could
not hold them. The attendance thru
out the week has been above the av-
erage for the last few years, and peo-
pie have taken great interest in the
meetings.
A corps of tn most able ministers
in this district has been on hand and
delivered some of the greatest SER

Powder Spring Loses
to Middleton, 2 to S

The fast Powder Springs team went
down in defeat before the heavy
Middleton sluggers last Thursday in
Middleton. At first it looked as tho
the home boys were in hot water but
by fighting every minute and playing
air tight ball the visitors were sent
back carrying the little end of the
horn.
Powder Springs made her two runs
by the only two errors that were
made by the Middleton boys. The
game seemed to be the visitors up
until the fifth inning when the home
boys loosened up and put the game
away on ice. It was C. E. Bankers
homer in this frame that started the
fireworks.
Powder Springs had beat Middleton
by large margin early in the sea-
son so this game ties the two teams.
1t has not been decided where the
tie will be played off.
Score:
Middleton, s. Pow. Springs, 2.

COMEDY or ERRORS
ENACTED WHEN TWO
LOCAL CLUBS meet
Rotations Get Best OF Civilians in
Hard Fought Game. Over
500 Cleared from Game

The most spectacular baseball
game ever witnessed on the local field
was played yesterday afternoon,
when the mighty Rotarians sent the
Civilians back to their den carrying
the little end Of the we'll known
"horn."
Over a hundred dollars was clear
ed and donated to the ball field. The
game was filed with spectacular plays
thrills and errors. In fact, one of
the fans was heard to call it a real
COMEDY of Errors"
But despite the fact that the game
was not as smooth as it might have
been, it was exceedingly interesting.
And the five hundred fans that
crowded the park saw some plays that
couldn't be seen on the Polo Grounds.
For instance, when Jim Legg got
stretched out between home and first.
Or, when, in the last inning, the Ro-
tarians put in some pinch hitters,
viz, DR.. Parkinson, Jas. T. Anderson,
and John Boston. Some of the pref
,tiest hitting was seen on the local
field was pulled by the aforemention-
ed Babe Ruths.
The American Legion challenged
the winer of the game to play some
time in the near future. This should
be another real game.
The line up was as follows:
