The wild rumors Of mergers and
combinations of steel, copper, to;
bacco and other industrial enter
prises which proved such an adver-
tiscment for the stock market In
the first part Of the month have
given place to calm and judlcious
consideration of this whole subject
by conservative investors, many OF
whom have failed to see that there
will be any immediate fruits Of an
amalgamation of q few Of these
concerns. Certainly 1t seems absurd
that millions of dollars worth OF
dividend stock can be immedi-
ately converted to the dividend
class.
Rail Decision Helps.
The effect of the decision Of the
Interstate Commerce Commission
ordering a 10 per cent horizontal
reduction in freight rates, both
upon the market for railroad stocks
and upon American business and
industry in general, was wholesome
and security purchasers least Of
all saw in 1t any cause for uneasi-
ness as to the market value of the
stocks and bonds they hold. In
fact, with the bad news out" II
such It can be construed, specula-
tors were more inclined to add to
their commitments than to reduce
them. AS compensation for the re-
duction in freight rates, the rail.
road managers have the prospect
for greatly increased traffic as a
result of the improvement in gen
eral business throughout the coun-
try and the assurance that a re-
vision downward in their greatest
item of expense. that Of labor. will
be granted by the special agency
that now has this matter under
consideration.
Judge Gary's optimistic statement
on Friday was a strong factor on
the constructive side of the stock
market, and his keen analysis of
the important matters Of industrial
relations, tariff and bonus and
other legislation was the subject
Of much favorable comment in the
financial district. Across the water
the skillful summary Of the re-
suits Of the Genoa conference and
the assurance that the Germans
would accept the dictates Of the
bankers committee on loans when
all other conditions failed, might
also be listed as important con-
structive factors.

SILENT PARTNERS
Names of Firm Owners Must

Court Clerks.

RICHMOND, Va. May 2o.-Silcnt
partnerships will be rendered prac-
tically impossible in Virginia under
the terms Of a law enacted at the re-
cent session Of the general assembly

Under the act, every partnership is
required to file with the clerk Of the
court in which deeds are registered a
certificate showing the names and
addresses of each and every person
composing the firm and other details
connected with the proposed asso-
citation.
The act also makes 1t impossible
for corporations or individuals to
conduct business enterprises under
fictitious names. 1t requires every
person or company doing business
under an assumed or fictitious name
to file a certificate showing the
names and addresses Of each and
every owner.
Credit Mems Associations in all
parts OF the State gave their active
support to the measure, which was
introduced in the Senate by Senator
Griffith Dodson, Of Norfolk. The
Norfolk .Tidewater Association Of
Credit Men was especially active in
arousing sentiment in favor OF the
legislation.
Another measure intended for pro-
lection Of creditors Is already effec-
tive, having been passed with an
emergency clause. 1t provides that

INTERESTING MEET OF
COWETA COUNTY SCHOOL S

The following is contributed to
the journal, With should be of inter
est to many readers:
MISS Grace Hayden jolly returned
SUNDAY from Newman, where she
spent a few days with Miss Marie
Harvllle and Miss Irene Jolly, who
are principal and first teacher in
Welcome High School near Newman.
While there she attended Literary
and Athletic Contest of the schools
OF CoWeta County, including those
in small towns.
The many friends of Misses Har-
Vile and Jolly will be pleased to
know OF their success in winning the
Literary Banner, by scoring "a
points, which was nine points more
than anyother school. In expression,
they Won first place for girls under
twelve years and second place for
girlsover twelve. In Literary and
Athletics combined, they, by scoring
thlrty-three points, led all the schools
Of the county.
These contests are much to be COM
mended for the interest aroused both
in literary work and athletics. This
shows that the teachers, pupils and
patrons of Coweta County realize the
benefit to be derived from physical
as well as intellectual training. Supt.
Starr is much interested in this work
There are only thirty-one white
schools in that county Twelve of
the largest of these enrolled eighty
i've per cent Of the children-this
does not include Newman School.
These facts should impress upon
the minds of Cobb County people the
Importance of fewer and better
schools.
Mr. E. A. Bound attended this
meet and gave very instructive lee
ture on the importance of higher edu-
cation and the great need of improv-
ing the country schools.
Not only this county, but a num-
Der of others in Georgia are making
great progress in educational work
It is high time we, the people of Cobb
County, were aroused to our duty
and to the fact that we are being
outstripped by others.
