ELLIOTT NOW
SEEMS VICTOR
In HIS FIGHT
Marion County Con-
Germ Offers Lower
Paving Bid.
OTHERS HOLD OUT
New Estimates Show
Reduction Of 81
Square Yard.

Victory for John l. Elliott, city
civil engineer, IN his fight for lower
asphalt prices was in prospect today,
when compilation Of bids upon the
permanent improvement OF Eight
'eenth street from Rural to Parker
avenue showed the Marion County
CONSTRUCTION Company cut its price
for asphalt paving to $301 a square
yard
Mr.. Elliott went on the asphalt war
path Feb. 90. when bids were sub
mittcd for permanent improvement Of
streets with asphalt were around $40
per square yard. He wrote to the
board Of public works he thought tho
price should be between s.. 80 and 50 n
square yard. Feb. 20. the Marion
County Construction Company bid $40
A square yard on the permanent I'm
provement wi h asphalt Of Maple street
from McClrty 10 Morris streets and this
bid was among those rejected by the
board Of public works as too high. The
hid upon Eighteenth street, which Mr..
Elliott said be would recommend 10 the
board Of public works for acceptance.
shows the Marion County Construction
Company has cut It's price 81 square
yard.
MARION COUNTY
CONCERN BIDs ALONE.
The Marion County Construction Com
pany IS the first and only contracting
company to heed the demand Of the
engineer, which has been backed up by
the board Of public works TO considerable
extent, that asphalt prices be lowered.
An idea of the extent TO which the
Marion County Construction Company
has cut under the prices Of other CON
tractors Is -obtAined by comparing It's
bid on Eighteenth street. which was
submitted Wednesday, with those OF
three other companies.

Board of Health Acts Wisely

The Cobb county Board of Health is to be com

the board of commissioners is to be condemned for

The Board of Health is also to be commended in
that it did not vote reduction Of the expenses at

much of this is due to the careessness and lack of
health work among us
America stands very low in the scale of the civil

of its individuals and our infant mortality rate is
the highest among the IA most civilized nations of
the world And it must further be said that the
South in this respect is by means the fairest part
of the United States The fact is it ranks behind all
the other sections of the nation and if the work

That public health work does raise the health

ALL EDITORS ARE LIARS

From the Manson Qowa) Democrat.
We overheard a man remarking the
other day that the reason he did not
take the Manson papers is that all
editors are liars. While we know that
the reason that he does not take the
Manson papers is that he fas dead
heated both of them out of several
years subscriptions, we will admit
that he told the truth about all edi-
tors being liars. Fact is, we never
told the truth about the man. We
always lied about him, but we will
not lie this time about him. When
he got married over 25 years ago we
published in this paper that he was
Jan "honest, Industrious young man"
THAT was a lie and we knew it. He
was a deadbeat before he ever marri-
ed and owed for board, room and
washing that he did not pay then and
has never paid since. He owed for
chewing tobacco, clothing and any
thing he could get trusted for and has
never paid for it. He was not indus
ltrious, but VIGOROUSLY lazy, hulk
ling lout and loafer who would not
work if he could possibly get out of
it, and then when forced into work he
was shirk and sneak always try
ng to put the heaviest work on his
companions. We said he would make
la good home for his wife. That was
la lie. He never owned a home of
his own, and does not own one now,
but he has to pay his rent in advan-
ce every month now. We said his
wife was a handsome and accohpli-
shed young lady" That was seve-
raj lies. She was homlier than the
back end of the buildings that front
on Main street in Manson, Iowa; she
had no accomplishments except to
chew gum and talk slang; she was
iyoung but she was not lady as she
had q shady reputation. When her
father died we told another lie, for
we said the old man was a prominent
and highly respected citizen, when he
was notorious chicken, coal and a
horse feed thief and every one hat
ed him and would have been glad
when he died had it not been for the
fact that the county had to bury him.
When our hero's daughter got marri-
ed, we said the same nice things abb
out her we said about her mother and
lied some more, even a lot worse.
Yes. it's all true, all newspaper men
are liars.

And who will say that the Yankee
pitching staff does not look easily to
be better than the Giant pitchers?
This is assuredly true SO far as any
human being can work out the prob
able value OF base ball players. Test
them mentally, physically, by ex-
perience, by what they have done and
by what they have faced. the Yankee
pitchers are much superior to the
National League clubs pitchers. And
yet 1t is reported that the big gam
blers are taking all the short-end
bets on the Giants they can get.
Must be that they figure bats are bet
ter than pitchers.
However. let US today look over the
history of the world series beginning
with 1905, and it will be found that
the winning club in every year, with
the possible exception of 1912 and
1914. had the better pitchers. In 1912
the Giant pitchers were perhaps as
good as those of Boston. although the
worst mistake in pitching in the
series was made in the last game
when Speaker was pitched for. in
stead Of being teased to bite at bad
ones In 1914 the Athletics had the
pitchers, but they were buffaloed out
