DIRECTORS TO OUTLINE
PROGRAM FOR C. OF C.
AT AN EARLY DATE
New Committees to Be Named
Soon. New Board Enters Into
Work With Determination

1t has been one meeting right af-
ter another with the newly elected
board Of directors of tn Marietta
Chamber of Commerce-the cause of
it all being that they are getting
things in shape to present to the
membership a program of work for
the coming year. 1t will take some
days yet to complete the program,
but when it comes, every member will
be expected to pull off their coats
and dig right into the work just like
the newly elected board is doing.
1t is useless to comment further on
the work accomplished during the
past year. Much more was accom-
plished than was hoped for, even
though some things were not done
that some of us wanted-but then, it
takes time to do all things and the
Marietta Chamber Of Commerce is
not an organization that plays the
part Of the gutter"
Ralph j. Hancock, the newly cleo
ted president, is going right into the
work with a determination that does
not spell defeat and he will be backed
by every other member of the board
of directors, and it is up to every
member and every interested citizen
of Marietta and Cobb county to fall
right in line and go forward with a
mighty force during the coming year.
The board of directors hold regu-
lar meetings every two weeks, how
ever, many special called meetings
are held between periods, and a spe-
cial invitation is extended to each
and every member to attend any or
all of these meetings. Many mem
bers who may not be in position to
attend other meetings of the organ
ization have the privilege of attend
ing the directors meetings, and you
may rest assured that II you have any
suggestions or criticisms to offer they
will be gladly accepted.
Every member must do his or her
part in the work of the organization
if real results are to be accomplished,
so let's all work together with but
one single thought in view-that Of
greater Marietta and Cobb county.

CONVENTION AT A
DEADLOCK ON SAITH
BALLOT THURSDAY
McAdoo Holds His Own; Ralston
Leads Dark Horses. Favorite
Sons Remain in Fight

At the end of the fifty-fourth bal
lot, the Democratic National Conven-
ton still stands at a deadlock. The
number of ballots has broken all pre-
vious records but one and that was
when Douglas was nominated on the
fifty-ninth ballot many years ago.
Wednesday night McAdoo reached
his high mark with sos 1-2 votes, but
has now dropped off to 437. Nilsson
ri went to Davis Tuesday and caused
a great deal of excitement in the Nc
Adoo ranks but her SO votes went
back for McAdoo Wednesday night.
Wednesday Mississippi changed back
from Davis to McAdoo on the thirty
fourth ballot.
Az noon Wednesday, in the midst
of the thirty-eighth ballot w. J. Bry-
an took the floor in behalf of McA-
doc and made speech while being
hooted by Smiths crowd in the gal
leries, and cheered by many of the
delegates. Davis being accused of
being tied to Wall Street and big in
terests, his friends circulated litera-
ture in his behalf showing that he
has been the council not only of the
Standard Oil Co., but the plate glass
blowers union, the Irish Free State,
Eugene v. Debbs, Tammany Hall and
Mother Jones" of West Virginia.
On the fifty-third ballot Ralston,
of Indiana, was leading the dark
horses with vote of ninety-two.
1t is impossible to tell yet who will
win, but it is thought by most people
that neither of the two leaders-Mc-
Adoo and Smith-will be nominated.
The vote for the leaders at the end
of the fifty-fourth ballot stood as fol-
lows: McAdoo 437, Smith 800, Raj
ston go and Cox SO.
Many native sons who have only
received handful of votes still cling
to the convention, preventing a
choice being made.

The Marietta Advertising Club has
issued request to all places Of bus
mess in Marietta asking them to close
on July 4th and give their employees

SINGING At KEN
NESAW MOUNTAIN
FOURTH Of JULY
First Woman Senator Will Shovel
First Dirt Starting Memo
rial Tower

Thousands of spectators will be
present at Kennesaw Mountain Fri
day morning, July 4, at $50 to watch
Senator r. L. FELTON, shovel the first
dirt for the construction of the tow
err, which with addresses by Josiah T.
Rose, collector of internal revenue
for Georgia; DIR. NJ M. Parks, presi-
dent Of the Georgia State Woman's
college; DR.. Eucian Lamar knight,
state historian, and several promi-
nent officials of the United Daugh-
ters of the Confederacy, the formal

federate memorial tower atop Ken
nesaw mountain, will be celebrated.
Other speeches will be made by

eral of the United Daughters of the

dent.
The Sunday school singers of Cobb
county will also hold their annual
Fourth of July singing at the noun
tain this year. The Kennesaw Noun
tain Association invited not only the
Sunday school singers but the whole
public as well and it is thought that
the crowd viii reach into the thou
sands. In the past the Fourth of
July singings have been held in the
court house, but this year when the
unusual opportunity was offered the
president in charge Of arrangements
Mr.. Ed Crow and his assistants, Mr..
Sam Huddleston and Mr.. w. L.
Thacker, they quickly accepted the
invitation because the event will be
several times larger than it could
possibly be in Marietta, and in addi-
ton to this, it gives the people Of
Cobb and the adjoining counties an
opportunity to see the work progress
sing on the Kennesaw Mountain road
and on the development of the Ken
nesaw Mountain park which will be
completed in the early fall.
Mr.. Montgomery, of the Coca-Cola
Bottling Company, has donated to
the Daughters of the Confederacy
free of charge Coca-Cola to supply
the immense crowd during the entire
day. The Frank E. Block Candy Co.
is donating five hundred dollars
worth of candies and cakes to be sold
at the regular price, and the Mariet-
ia Cigar Factory has donated all the
Kennesaw Smokers that can be sold
during the day. These sales will be
handled in attractive booths by the
Daughters of Confederacy and the
entire funds realized will be used as
the initial fund for the tower which
the Kennesaw Mountain Battlefield
Association is permitting them to
erect at the summit Of Big Kennesaw
as memorial to the heroes who lost
their lives in the great struggle that
took place there

Park Committee
Puts New Flower
Bed in the Park

Another improvement to make our
park more beautiful is the new flower
bed that has recently been built on
the northwest side of the park. The
bed is made of brick and the same
bronze statue that once shot forth
water from the fountain is in the
center holding an electric globe and
adding beauty to the bed. Our park
now is as pretty as any in the state,
thanks to the park committee that
has worked hard to make it so.
