HIGH SCHOOL At
TENDANCE DOUBLED
IN LAST 8 YEARS
Total Enrolment Last Year Was
1864. 242 in High School. Five
New Teachers for Year

In the annual report to the Board
OF Education, Mr.. G. A. Keith. Super-
lntendeht of the Schools, pointed out
that the attendance in the high school
had practically doubled in the last
five years. The enrolment in the
high school last year was 242, with
a graduating class of as. Consider
erlng the facilities of the school this
IS a remarkable record. There were
100 pupils in the freshman class last
year.
The total enrolment, according to
the report, was 1864, this includes
LIST white pupils and the remainder
colored. This is an increase of 1O8
over the previous years attendance.
To provide for the anticipated in
crease next session the board has en-
gagged five new teachers. Two of
these will teach the first year high
school classes and the other three will
teach the primary grades. AS there
are no additional class rooms the
primary classes will have to have two
sessions to accommodate all the pupils.
In his report, Mr.. Keith stressed
the need for a new up-to-date high
school building. The board intends
to go to work Immediately on a plan
to secure new high school building
for Marietta. He also pointed out
that the compulsory school law was
working fairly welP', but that be-
cause of the Indifference of the pa
rents 1t was not doing the good that
would be possible if the parents would
cooperate with the school authorities.

Marietta still leads the North
Georgia Golf League. By defeating
Gainesville, last Saturday, here, by
margin Of 10 points they clinched
the hold on the top rung of the lad

POLITICAL CON-
TESTS WARMING
UP IN COUNTY
Another Possible Entrant in Race
for Representative. Guberna-
torial Race Will be Hot

1t looks like there will be 'hot
time IN the old town" between now
and September 18th. All the races
are getting interesting. On every
corner you can hear the politicians
pushing one candidate or another. Tt
seems that the race for representa-
tive will be the hottest. All three
candidate have many supporters, so
that 1T promises to be a grand and
glorious time. 1t is rumored that DR..
Pace, of Smyrna, will enter the race
for representative also. If this is
true it should make the race even
more interesting.
Up to the present time only three
have thrown in their hats for Com
missioner of Roads and Revenues.
Mr.. Delk and Mr.. B. N. Summerour
OF the Marietta district announced last
week and Mr.. FELTON, Brown of the
fifth road district has his announce
ment IN this weeks Journal.
Getting away from county officers
it appears that the old Gubernatorial
race will be the hottest ever in the
state. From reports from the ex-
changes it seems that the candidates
are about even throughout the state.
The other day Cliff Walker in pass
ing through paid this office visit
and he seems to be confident of VIC
tory. However, you never can tell.

MARIETTA WINS
FAST GAME FROM
CANTON WEDNESDAY
Morris Holds Visitors 10 eight Hits
While the Locals Bat Reeves
To All Corners

Marietta made it two straights from
the Canton team here Wednesday af-
ternoon on the local diamond. The
largest crowd that has yet been to
the ball park was on hand to see the
locals win-and they did. It is esti-
mated that 500 fans saw Canton 90
down in defeat. When the smoke Of
battle had cleared away the count
stood 3 to 3 in favor of Marietta.
The Canton bunch started with a
rush in the opening frame, with one
on Swafford, the big left fielder for
Canton, caught one of Morris fast
ones on the end of his bat and lost
1T in the bushes in right field. But
after that Morris was never in dan
ger.
Mr.. Hawkins caught the same dis
ease that STAFFORD had earlier in the
game and poled one of Monkey
Reeves benders into the bushes for
the circuit, with one man ahead of
him.
In the third the locals tied the
count, and then united it and were
never overtaken.
Morris, after he had warmed IN.
pitched brilliant game, striking out
twelve menI The whole Marietta
team played good ball, but the work
OF Blackstock, in center for the locals
was spectacular. In the second he
made a beautiful shoestring catch
Of hot liner, and again in the sixth
he ran back in the bushes in center
and took one from the bat of Swat
ford that was Tabled four bases.
Lafitte, the Canton catcher, is one
OF the incest one seen on the local
diamond this year, and STAFFORD also
played good game for the visitors.

trayed in the picture is absolutely au-
thentic.
A resolution was passed by the lo-
cal post, asking our congressman at

the benefit of mental detectives"
is not sidetracked but rushed to
conclusion. The bill has already been
passed appropriating the money but
the building of the hospitals is held

Farm Loan is Proving
Big Success; $4,000
Already Applied for

Over one-half of Cobb county's ap-
preparation for the farm loan has al
ready been taken, according to a
statement made by Mr.. Awtrey, the
secretary and treasurer of the organ
ization. The county was allowed
$4,000 and $4,000 has already been
applied for by the farmers.
This year the loan is being pretty
well scattered out through the coun-
ty. Each section will get about the
same amount of loans. Mr.. Awtrey
believes that before the time is IN
all the appropriation will be applied
for.
M The loan only draws 515 Cd inter-
est and the borrower is given from
fiye to thirty years to repay it in.

RAILROAD WORKERS
TAKE ISSUE WITH
JUDGES REMARKS
Request Journal to Publish Ans
wer to Speech Delivered Before
Local Organization

In last weeks issue of the Journal
was printed the speech of Judge D.
W. Blair, delivered to the local Rot
ary club at the club dinner the pre-
yious week. This week members of
the railroad workers union ask that
their side of the matters touched up-
on by Judge Blair be given publica-
ton. The first article was published
by request and the Journal accords
the answer the same courtesy below:
Marietta, Ca, Aug. 7th, 1922.
To the Public:
Judge D. w. Blair, of the Blue
Ridge Circuit, in an address before
the Rotary Club, of Marietta, has
made certain statements and charges
that we feel, in the interest of fair
play, should be answered and the
public given an opportunity to hear
something on our side of this cues
ton. Every man, woman and child
has right to form and express opin-
ions on all matters of public interest
and while we differ from our learned
Judge in what he has had to say and
regret that he has gone so far as to
say that we are not good citizens,
and places US in class with outlaws
and all other undesirables, yet we are
not writing this card as an answer
to him in particular but to give our
side to the great fair minded public
and let them pass as a jury of our
peers on this question.
The Judge questions the right of
any man working for public service
cOporation to strike and says that if
any man goes into that service that
it should be with a distant obligation
that his first duty is to serve the pub
lie. Would Judge Blair or any other
fair minded man go into any branch
Of work where he couldn't take adj
vantage of the freedom given him as
an American citizen? Surely they
do not expect us to sell ourselves and
work as slaves with no recourse ex-
cept the freedom that comes to all
men when they have lived out the
span Of life allotted them by the AL
mighty God. The Judge even ad-
mltS that the Declaration of indie
pendence declares that the pursuit
Of happiness is an inaleinable right of
all men. Then why should we, as
men, be forced and required to work
when we have been mistreated, and
are not receiving a living wage for
our labor? Many people have thought
that we as body were striking for
higher wages. That is a mistaken
Idea for we have asked for nothing
save to keep what we have been
gwen which is itself only scant liv-
ing wage that gives us nothing ex-
ceept necessities. And the great body
OF men that are striking today have
STOOD without complaint a reduc-
uon OF "a per cent in the last twelve
months. We respectfully ask how
much of that reduction has gone to
me travelling public? How much ben
ent have you, Mr.. Average Citizen,
received from this reduction? Where
naS 1t gone to? Ask yourself the fol-

CHEROKEE SIDEWALKS
ARE NOW COMPLETED

The paving on Cherokee street was
finished some time ago and the work
on the sidewalks is practically COM
pleted. This bids fair to be the most
beautiful street in the city when it is
finished. In the wider part of the
street, close in town, there will be a
grass plot between the street and
sidewalk, but out where the street
is narrow there will not be any grass
plot. The sidewalks will probably
be open to pedestrians by the first
of the week.

that the O.-W. Il. x n. company

Amwaco and Bell Junction, a dis
lance of about twelve miles Il is
said that the company has been
unable TO reach an agreement with
the Milwaukee for the use OF its
track from Plummer to Bell or
Mantle. and is therefore confront
ed with the necessity of either
building its own line from Chatco-
let to Ford on returning to the lake
route as soon as the ice breaks
up. The construction of this cutoff
would also have the advantage of
eliminating the heavy grade west
of ChatcOlet, which would be

MANY LEASERS ENGAGED
IN OLD WORKINGS OF
MORNING AND you LIKE

1t is estimated that between 80
and 40 men are engaged in leasing
operations in the old upper work
ings of the Morning mines which
includes the You Like. The ore is
taken out through No. 5 tunnel
and hauled to the railroad at Null
Ian, about a mile and a half. II is
understood that all are making a
good profit. In both the Morning
and You Like veins rich shoots of
gray copper have been found in
addition to the usual lead silver
ore. The You Like was famous in
the early days for high grade ore,
both lead carbonate and gray cop
per and leasers are finding much
of this that was overlooked by the
early operators. All of this ore is
inaccessible for large mining Oper-
atoms. and the Federal Mining &
Smelling company. which owns
the Morning, encourages leasers to
work the ground on a royalty ba-

SHAFT ON AMAzON-DIXIE
DOWN TO THE 15OOLEVEL
OUTLOOK FAVORABLE FOR CON-
MERcIAL ORE WHEN CROSS
CUT TO VEIN.

The Amazon Dixie shaft last Satur-
day was down rs feet below the 1900
level and will be extended 65 feet to
provide for stump and skip pocket, after
mich preparations will be made to
crosscut the vein. This information
was obtained from Wesley Everett,
manager of the Amazon Dixie Mining
company. who was in the city, accom-
panied by Mrs. Everett, to attend the
funeral of A. l.. Nicholson. Develop
ment at the Amazon Dixie has been
limited to sinking the shaft since last
summer. extending it 400 feet from the
100 to the 1900. This work was I'M
dertaken after the vein had been ex-
tensively developed on the main work
ing level and exploratory work on the
900 and 100 shaft levels. This work
not only showed a steady improvement
in the ore as depth was attained. but
what is even more significant the
deeper workings passed from the st.
Regis to the Revett formation, the last
named with the Burke quartzite which
underlies it being the usual formations
in which the lead silver deposits of
this district are found. 1t was these
conditions that convinced the man
agement of the Amazon Dixie that 400
feet additional depth on the vein
would find commercial ore The 1900
level means 1900 feet below the discov-
cry tunnel and in round figures 500
feet below the main working adit.
crosscut 500 Feet.
BY sinking 65 feet below the 1900
level ample provision will be made for
stump and large skip pocket. With this
distance completed, a station will be
cut. a station pump installed and skip
pocket prepared, when the crosscut to
the vein will be pushed with charac-
teristic speed. 1t is estimated that the
vein should be reached in about 500
feet. While much confidence is felt
that a commercial body of ore will be
found when the vein is reached and
that it's development will result in
making a producer of the Amazon
Dixie Mr.. Everett is of the opinion
that the greatest body of ore will be
found in the Leslie ground. now part
of the Amazon Dixie property, and
which will eventually be developed on
this level This opinion seems justi-
fled by the showing disclosed by ex-
tension of the main tunnel to the Les
lie by the results of early develop
ment and by the massive outcrop of
the vein.
