REAL CHANCE TO STAR

Has Bing Miller, outfielder Connie
Mack got from Clark Griffith in that
three-cornered deal with the Red Sox
last winter in which Roger Peckin-
paugh went from Bosting town to
Washington.
And Miller deserves the chance.
He's one of those birds overlooked by
fate, who has played good ball and
struggled valiantly for years without
drawing well earned praise.
Miller got his baseball start out in
Iowa and went from there to Atlanta.
The war then interrupted lis diamond
career and when peace Gale he re-
Joined the Georgia club. He got a
brief trial with Detroit, but drew no
notice-except the one to pack up.
When Connie bought half the Atlanta
team to look it over two years ago he
didn't include Bing in the list obtain
ed. Atlanta didn't even want him.
In 1920 he signed with Little Rock
and when the smoke cleared away
that fall he ranked fifth in hitting
with a mark of 1922 and had fielded
brilliantly. Griffith grabbed him that
fall.
His real names Edmund B. Miller.
He got the Bling" from the way he
walloped the OF apple.
The Reds finally broke into the win
column Saturday afternoon and scored
total of eight runs on seven hits.
This is something unusual for them,
as they most always need dozen hits
to get three or four.
How about the new heaves medi
cine you tried?"

BAD WASH-OUT IN THE
LAWRENCE STREET Paw
ING OCCURRED LAST WEEK
Additional Paving on Powder
Springs st. to come up at the
Meeting on May 18th

With damage and delay by the
heavy rains the latter part of last
week, the paving on Lawrence street
was greatly retarded but at this time
it looks favorable to have the street
open for traffic early in May.
A large portion of the completed
eurbing was washed out by the rains,
and in order to quickly replace the
damage and prepare against another
such calamity, double>shift has been
put on the job by the Bittman Con-
struction Company, and work is being
pushed forward night and day.
Preparations are also going along
nicely on Powder Springs street, and
paving should be well under way the
coming month.
Work preparatory to paving Cher
okee street was started this week at
the outer end of the street, and will
progress rapidly under favorable wea
Their conditions.
On Saturday night at eight o'clock,
May 10, property owners and others
who may be interested will meet at
the city council chambers for consid-
Grafton of ordinance now pending for
additional paving on Powder Springs
street, running from the railroad
tracks to the South property line on
Goss street. ~

NEW RADIO BATTERY
PERFECTED FOR USE

The newest radio "a" battery re-
Gently Placed upon the market is
said to overcome the bothersome
noises caused by electrical leakage
and consequently gives a far more
satisfactory performance.
Electrical leakage is overcome in
this new battery by the use Of a spe-
cial one-piece case which is nodded
from new rubber Cell partitions
are fused with the sidewalks and bot
toms so that the construction is tru-
ly "monobloc". There is not a single
fitted joint anywhere in this contain
er.
To make doubly sure that no flaws
or air bubbles might have escaped de-
lection, each one is tested with an
electrical current of $4,000 volts
which would pass through and spark
across the most minute opening that
could possibly be present. Danger
of leakage of battery solutions is al
so eliminated at the same time.
This new radio battery is the pro-
duct of Willard Storage Battery CO.,
of Cleveland, Ohio. This company,
a pioneer and for long time the
largest builder of automobile start
ing and lighting batteries has been
doing considerable experimenting in
radio work. This new ga" battery
is the latest addition to their line
and will be handled by their auth
orized service stations.

SHOT DEAD AFTER
AN ARGUMENT OVER
FIFTY CENTS SUNDAY

Charlie Williams, colored, who con-
Quoted a pressing shop in rear OF
Frank Gums barber shop on Atlanta
street was shot and instantly kill
ed at about 6 80 Sunday night at the
negro Holiness church on johnson
street.
The negro who did the shooting,
Guide" Tillman, is still at large, but
officers expect to find him in hiding
here, as it is not thought he has left
Marietta.
From the negros who were pres
ent when the trouble started, it is
learned that there was an argument
between "Dude"and Charlie over fif-
ty cents which Dude" claimed was
owing him. Failing TO get the money
he went to his home and returned
with a shot gun, and fired at close
range, the entire load entering Char
lies neck and killing him INSTANTLY.
Williams was a quiet and well
thought of negro. He had lived in
Marietta the past fifteen years, with
exception of a period of service in
the world war. 1t is said that he had
about $50 or $40, a diamond ring
and gold watch with him when the
shooting took place, but the valuables
were missing when his body was
found. Jim Jackson, negro, was
locked up by the officers Monday,
charged with theft of the money and
iewelry. On Tuesday morning the
diamond ring was found in Williams
room on a trunk near broken win
dow, where it had been placed dur
ing the night.
