CANTATA SAUL"
BY LOCAL TALENT
IS BIG SUCCESS
Most Ambitious Production Yet
Attempted Here. Other Town
Asks that Play Be Staged

"Saul, King of IsreaT' which was
presented at the Y. W. c. A. Audito-
rum Thursday and Friday nights was
the greatest play yet staged in Mari
eta, is the opinion of the general
public, and many good plays have
been shown here.
This was by far the most ambitious
program yet attempted in Marietta
by local talent and was one of the
most successful.
The first night there was a big
attendance and the second perform
ance brought out still larger audi
ence, all the reserved seats were sold
and the sides of the auditorium we'll
filled.
For several months the Methodist
choir assisted by others was busy
practicing several times a week under
the direction of Mrs. Benson and the
public was not at all surprised at the
splendid production for many Others
have been staged by Mrs. Benson
with remarkable success.
The fame of the cantata Saul
has spread to other neighboring
towns and appeals have been made for
the play to be shown elsewhere. Tho
no definite arrangements have been
made the performance may be re-
peated in few nearby towns in the
next few weeks.

TODAY Is THE 18TH
ANNIVERSARY OF
THE ROTARY CLUB

Unique among birthday gifts is
that which the Rotary Club Of this
lefty distributed today as remem-
brance of the SEVENTEEN anniversary
of the organization of the first Ro-
tary Club in Chicago in 1905. The
Rotary gift took the form of free
offer of service to every one of the
heads of city executive departments
from the mayor down and to the
heads of all civic organizations.
The officers of the local club ex-
plain that this in done for the pur-
pose of getting before the city Off
cials and the heads of organizations
in the city that the purpose of the
Rotary Club is to be of service to
other organizations. Rotary, the of
ficers explain, rarely takes up for tie
purpose of carrying on itself any civ
ic movement. The whole object of
the organization is service to the
community through the existing or
gaAiZations. Because of the fact
that there are agencies at hand to
carry on almost every form of civic
enterprise, Rotarians act only in init
iating movements and turning them
over to the one Of these existing ag-
encies whose regular business is to
handle such things
But the responsibility of Rotarians
does not end with the turning over of
such movements. 1t devolves upon
the Rotarians who are members of
the organization to which such a
movement is given, to see that the
organization carries it out and to
call on the whole Rotary club for
further assistance in carrying it out,
being understood that the movement
is movement of the agency selected
and that such agency and not the Ro-
tary club, shall receive all the credit
of the accomplishment.
1t is thus. the Rotary officers ex-
plain. that the club seeks to empha-
size its creed of ''He Profits Most
Who Serves Best"
The seventeenth anniversary of the
organization Of Rotary finds the
movement has spread to twenty-five
countries where more tran a thous-
and clubs have approximately $4,000
members. In every club today ami
versary exercises are being held and
pledges Of service given similar to
those that are being given here.

GEORGIA TO RAISE
BOND ISSUE MONEY
ON EASY PAYMENTS
Automobile Fees and Tax Will
Raise Funds to Care for In
terest and Retirement

The Georgia Good Roads association
which organization is now conducting
an active campaign to enlighten the
voters as to every phase of the pro-
posed $75,000,000 road bond issue
gives out the following interesting
facts on the question this week.
Growing interest in the proposed
STE. 100000 road bond issue is mani
tested throughout the state in en-
dorsement of the plan by Chambers
of Commerce and civic organizations
that have the progress of the state at
heart.
Many voters are asking whether OF
not the bonds can be retired, primer
pal and interest, with only the auto
mobile license fees and gasoline tax
as provided for in the plan.
An impression seems to have gotten
out in some sections of the state that
under the proposed bond plan the
state would be plunged into debt
$75,OOO,00O all at once, with interest
accruing on the entire issue from the
very beginning. This is entirely
wrong.
The plan provides for the sale OF
$1O,OOO,OOO per year for the first
two wears; S6,0O0,000 the third year,
and 100000 per year for the next
succeeding seven years Out OF the
s2O.OOO,OOO sold the first two years,
refunds will be made to counties that
have already floated bonds and built
a part of the state system of roads
This refund will be made one-halt the
first year and one-half the second
year.
Only S1O,OOO,OOO will be at interest
during the first year, which Will a.
mount to $45O,O00. The second year
S2O,OOO,OOO will be at interest, max
ing the interest that year 5000, 900.
The third year $26,000.000 will be at
interest, making an interest $1,l70,-
600; the fourth year only S31, OOO,-
600 will be at interest, although $685.
100000 will have been sold, for 1t Is
planned to retire $2,000,OOO of the
bonds the fourth year, and a like a
mount will be retired each succeeding
year for seven years. During the
next six years S2,500,00O per year
will be retired, and for the succeed
ing eight years $3,00O.OOO Will be re-
tired each year, and for the remain
ing five years $4,000,000 will be re-
tired each year, completing retire
ment of the entire issue.
At no time will the entire issue De
at interest. At the expiration OF the
tenth year the maximum will be
reached, at which time it is estimated
the system of roads will be completed
and s14 600 600 of the bonds retlr-
ed. In the tenth year interest VIII
have reached its peak and SCI, OOO'-
900 of the bonds will be drawing IN
terest; then the amount of interest
will be only $2,835,000. From the IN
tenth year on, interest materially
decreases each year until when the
thirty years life of the bonds nave
expired it will amount to only $751;
600 the last year.
An intelligent study Of the plan
should be all that is needed to con-
vince any voter of its feasibility.

N. { F. BANK WILL
INCREASE STOCK
IN NEAR FUTURE
Officials of First National and M.
& F. Banks Considering taking
Over Marietta Trust Co.

At meeting of the directors of the
Merchants and Farmers Bank and the
First National Bank, held this week,
definite move was made by these
two respective bodies with view of
helping as far as possible the relief of
the depositors of the Marietta Trust
& Banking company, and with view
of cooperating with the stockhold-
ers of this Company and the state
Superintendent of Banks, to aid the
depositors in securing their money
on deposit with the Marietta Trust
& Banking Company at the earliest
possible date.
A committee composed of j. E.
Massey, President, and A. V. Cor
telyou. Director, of the First Nation
al Bank. and R. E. Butler, President
and W. E. Schilling, Cashier of the
Merchants and Farmers Bank, was
appointed with instructions to confer
with the stockholders and interested
parties of the Marietta Trust &
Banking Company, and T. R. Bennett,
State Superintendent of Banks, in
working out a solution of the clos.
ed Banks affairs, with view as far
as practicable of taking over its sol
vents assets and paying the depositors
without delay, in proportion
to such assets so taken over
No definite action can be taken in
regard to this matter until the audit
of the Marietta Trust & Banking Co.,
which is now being made, is complet-
ed.
T. r. Bennett, State Superinten.
dent of Banks, was advised of the ac-
ton of these two bodies and then
willingness to cooperate and he was
very much gratified, and stated thar
| it met his hearty approval. He also
stated that as soon as the audit was
completed he would be delighted to
give his full and hearty cooperation
to the relief of the whole situation.
The action of those two banks in
offering their assistance shows a
splendid spirit in assisting the de-
positors and stockholders of the clos
ed bank, and will no doubt receive the
hearty approval of the depositors as
we'll as the entire community.
At the same meeting of the direct
ors of the Merchants & Farmers
Bank, it was unanimously voted to in
crease the capital stock of this insti-
tuition at the earliest possible date.
A meeting of the stockholders has
been called for the 18th day of March
to vote on this question and fix the
amount of the increased capital. The
stock will be offered first to the stock
holders and any remaining unsubscri-
bed stock will be offered to the pub
lie. A number Of the stockholders Of
the Marietta Trust & Banking Com
pany have expressed a desire to OBJ
tain a portion of the additional stock
of the Merchants & Farmers Bank to
be offered, and to affiliate with the in
terests of the Merchants & Farmers
Bank by subscribing to same and
lending their cooperation in the en-
larging of this splendid institution.
When this increase is put into effect,
Marietta will have two large banks
with sufficient capital to care for the
business interests of the town and
county.
1t is also understood that the Mer-
chants & Farmers Bank will become
a member of the Federal Reserve
System of banks, and will be under
supervision of the u. S. Government.
