SAYS FAMILY DID
NOT CONSENT FOR
A LIFE SENTENCE
Mrs. w. A. Wilson's Case Was De-
cided Without knowledge of
Family DR.. Vinson Says.
Marietta. Nov. .. 1922.

Marietta, Nov. 2, 1922.
Editor Marietta journal.
Dear SIR
Allow me space in your valu-
able paper to say to my friends in
and around Marietta that my brother
Or. w. D. Vinson, was murdered by
ms wife in cold blood, March 31st,
1922. She was tried by IL honest
jurors and sentenced to hang.
The defense appealed for new
trial, and for some reason unknown
to me her case was put off month
after month until October 21st, 1922.
At that time the attorney for the
defense and prosecution got together
and went to the Judge and they all
agreed to dispose of the case by al
lowing Mrs. Vinson to plead guilty
and give her life sentence. The
Atlanta papers quoted Schley Howard
as saying that all of DR.. Wilson'S rel
atives had agreed to her getting a
life sentence.
DIR. W. D. Vinson had five brothers
and four sisters, and two sons. Mel
Their one agreed to the change in the
sentence they were not even notified
that the appeal had been allowed.
| did not know anything about it un-
til it was all over with.
/ consider Mrs. Viinson's action in
Staying my brother one of the most
diabOlical crimes ever committed in
Georgia. 1t was willful, premeditat-
ed, cold blCoded murder. AS a re-
suit of Judge HUMPHREYS decision |
feHl like we had as we'll tear down
all the court houses and jails.
May the Lord have mercy on every
one that has been instrumental in
thwarting Justice.
George A. Vinson.

on their arrival in Marietta, spot
ted by the Police, and constantly
Swallowed until they boarded the car

EARN MONEY
TO PURCHASE MOVING
PICTURE MACHINE
Marietta High School Students
Adopt Novel Plan to
Obtain Funds.

The students of Marietta High
school have chosen business-like
method for earning money with
which to purchase the moving pic
ture machine which the school wants
very much.
They have launched the course in
craftsmanship provided by The Curtis
Publishing Company, of Philadel-
phia, which gives them training in
craftsmanship, and at the same time
provides them with a method for
earning this money through securing
subscriptions for The Ladies Home
Journal outside of school hours this
week.
This course has been conducted
through more than 5000 schools and
has the endorsement Of some Of the
country's leading educators and fore
most business men.
D. w. Parker, vocational director
for this district, delivered a very in
teresting lecture to the students, ex-
planning the present-day need for a
knowledge Of craftsmanship and Civ
ing the principles Of selling. He fol-
lowed this with a little two-aet play:
Glow Not to Sell" and "How to Sell. 4"
Some very Worthwhile instruction
in craftsmanship was gained, which is
to be followed up by the students in
their practical sales work this week.
The school is divided into two
teams, the "Tigers" with Steve Clay
as leader, and the wildcats" with
Miss Harriet Leake as leader.
Gold pencils will be awarded by
the school to the boys and girls MAX
ing the best record in salesmanship.
Keen rivalry has developed between
the opposing sides, and the loosing
side will entertain the winners at
the end Of the plan.

MARIETTA HI WINS
FROM Tech HI BY
SCORE OF Is TO 0
Local Boys Get on to Visitors
Shift Then March Down the
Field For Steady Gains.

Marietta High hung up another
victory at Browns Park, Friday, when
they defeated the Tech High second
team, to the tune of rs to 0.
The teams were about evenly
matched in weight and both put up
good brand Of football.
Things looked bad for M. H. S. in
the first quarter, Tech High receiving
the kickoff and immediately ringing
up several first downs in a row. Then
Marietta got on to the visitors Jump
shift and after that Tech High did
not threaten the score. Marietta
then took the ball and with Gober
hitting the line and Lobbs and Read
circling the ends, went down the field
for touchdown, Read carrying the
ball over.
Again in the second quarter Mari
eta staged march down the field,
which ended when Gober hit center
for touchdown. Later in the same
quarter Marietta started for another
touchdown, but the half ended with
the ball on Tech Highs Gne-yard line.
Marietta finished up the scoring
in the third quarter. After about
half of the period was gone, Gober
hit the center Of the line for 80 yards
and touchdown, and a forward pass,
Dobbs to Read. Melted an extra point.
Marietta kicked off and after few
plays a Tech High back fumbled,
Clay bounced on the ball and dashed
25 yards for Marietta's last score.
Late in the last quarter Marietta
again threatened to score, but the
game ended with the ball on Tech
High one-foot line.
The work of Durham, Clay and
Swanson featured the Marietta de-
Tense. Those men were in every
play and spilled many Of them for
losses. Read, Gober and Dobbs again
played their brilliant game in the
backfeld, rippink off many gains
through the line and around the ends.
Marietta's next opponent will be
the Seventh District A. & M. School,
from Macland, who come to Browns
Park Friday. These teams played a
scoreless tie early in the season, and
this second meeting should result in
plendid game.

RABID DOG SITUATION

Following up last weeks story
pertaining to the epidemic of rabies
in and around Cobb county, DR..
Todd states that since the outbreak
of the epidemic, the number of pa
tints he has treated, and is treating,
numbers twenty.
One dog, which investigation prov
ed to be suffering from rabies, and
two other dogs, which were supect-
ed to be suffering from the same
disease, although no examination was
made, have been killed this week.
Thre was one possible exposure from
one of the last mentioned animals
and none from the other.
Relative to the period in which a
dog may develop rabies after being
exposed, DR.. Todd states that the
disease rarely ever becomes evident
under nine days and that the usual
time required is from fourteen to
twenty days, probably nearer TWEEN
ty, although animals are not entirely
out of danger at the expiration of
sixty days after exposure. He also
mentioned one instance in Cobb
county, where, to his positive know
ledge, dog developed rabies forty
days after exposure.
There is only one sure method
whereby this terrible malady may be
wiped out and that is by complying
with the City Ordinance and keep
your dogs muzzled, or confined where
it will be impossible for them to come
in contact with other animals that
are possibly suffering from this
dread disease.

GENERAL ELECTION
NOVEMBER 7;;PEACH
CO. AMENDMENT UP
No Opposition to Democratic Can
didates in Georgia. Amend
Center of Interest.

The general election will be held
next Tuesday, November 7, for Uni
ted States Senator, Governor, Pen
sion Commissioner, State Superin-
tendent of Schools, and number of
other offices, all of which were nomi-
mated in Democratic primaries and
have no opposition.
A feature of interest in the cleo
ton will be the proposed constitu-
tional amendment creating Peach
county. Much interest has been
shown on this question throughout
the state and vigorous campaigns
have been waged by those for and
against the amendment.
With already 160 counties in the
state, the chance for ratifying the
amendment looks slim in Cobb cCun-
ty and many other places where re-
ports have been made.
The polls will open at the usual
hours and good vote is expected
in this section.
