BIC DEMONSTRATION
STAGED WHEN NJ ADO0
IS NAMED CANDIDATE
AL Smith, of New York, Appears
to Be Next Strongest Man to
Georgian in Convention

The Democratic convention which
met in New York City on Tuesday
had completed getting the names of
the various candidates and favorite
sons before the convention, planning
a platform and completing organiza-
tions up to the time of going to press
and the convention expects to get
down to the real voting Friday morn
ing.
Noisy demonstrations lasting an
hour and a half were staged when
the name of w. G. McAdoo was
placed in nomination by his manager
Judge David Rockwell, likewise a
demonstration lasting about the same
time was staged when Al Smith, of
New York, was named.
The situation so far as a nominal
ton is concerned remains about the
same as before the convention con-
vened. Mr.. McAdoo has about half
of the delegates, Smith about one
third and the balance scattered
among favorite sons.
After the balloting gets under way
tomorrow some reasonable indica-
tons can be gained about the final
outcome, but the situation at present
is doubtful for any candidate. Mr..
McAdoo at present is the only candi-
date with enough votes to near the
two-thirds necessary for nomination.
The convention is marked by the
bitterness of New York newspapers
and citizens toward McAdoo and his
supporters. They have even resort
ed to rudeness to embarrass Mr.. Nc
Adoo's campaign.

MERCHANTS & FARM
ERS BANK INCREASE
DIVIDEND TO SP. C.
New Home For Banking Institu
ton Will Be Occupied by July
10th is Present Plan

About the 10th of July the Mer-
chants & Farmers Bank, of Marietta,
will move into their handsome new
bank situated on the north side of
the Public Square. This building,
which will be used exclusively for
banking purposes, was designed by
Morgan & Dillon, of Atlanta, and is
one of the most modern and up to
date banking houses in North Geor-
gia.
At a recent meeting of the board
of directors, another semi-annual
dividend of per cent was declared,
payable July 1st The total resour-
ces of the bank during the past
twelve months have made a gain of
over 100000, making the resources
of the bank now over half a million
dollars.
One of the most important fea-
lures of the bank, from the view
point of depositors, is the large
eihteen-inch reinforced concrete
vault with its massive door, which
weighs over II, 600 pounds and which
is drill and trch proof and burglar
proof. This is possibly one of the
largest vault doors of any bank in
the State of Georgia.
When the Merchants & Farmers
bank moves into their new home they
viii have ample facilities for render
ing every banking service and they
have a capable and efficient person
mel to see that every patron is given
prompt and courteous attention. Hav-
ing reached the half million mark the
bank will place the million as their
new goal and with the new facilities
viii no doubt make great progress
toward the mark.
The unusual success and progress
of the Merchants & Farmers bank
during the past few years is attribu-
table to the popularity Of It's officers,
their keen appreciation Of the servi.
ces expected by their customers and
their business-like way Of meeting
this demand.

LOCAL BALL CLUB
CONTINUES To WIN
FROM OPPONENTS
Shut Out Route Used on 0ppo
nents During the Past Weeks
Schedule

Just to show the home folks how
real ball club can hit, the Marietta
lads, led by captain pug" went on
hitting spree Wednesday after
noon and after two hours and nine
innings of good batting practice won
the second game Of a two game Sc
ries from New Holland. Marietta
scored eleven runs while the Dutch
men were getting big round goose
egg to show their folks back home.
"Shut-out" Hamilton, Marietta's
portside twirler, was on the mound
for the home crew and his superb
pitching just naturally made New
Holland look bad. He gave up only
three hits, none of them bearing an
extra base tag. The first five men
to face him were given a return pass
to the players bench by the strike
out route. Hamilton is setting a pre-
cedent for pitchers by his hitting.
Wednesday, out Of four trips to the
plate, he hit safely twice, both
scorching liners to deep center.
The onslaught in the second in
ming by the fighting smokers" was
enough for the New Hollanders. The
six runs scored in this inning appa-
rently took all the life>from them and
they blew up like a canyon breeze.
Joe Barton, newly acquired pitcher
and fielder, got safe at first on short
stops error. Maurier, the next man
up, socked hot one through the
pitchers hand and both he and Bar
ton we're safe, and scored on the
next play when the catcher threw the
ball away. None out. Wall was
walked and Eskew sacrificed. Ham
ilton then came to bat and knocked
a clean single, the first hit of the
game. Partridge walked and the
bases we're as full az wet sponge.
Bryant, next up, connected squarely
with the ball knocking a screaming
double down the first base line, scor-
ing Wall, hamilton and Partridge.
Freckles Barnes then came 10 bat
and as usual got hit. His single
brought in Bryant with the sixth and
final run Of this inning, the next two
men grounding out to the pitcher.
The local boys again got next to
Elders delivery in TIE eighth inning
and brought in three more rnus, Bry-
ant and Barnes again figuring in~the
scoring. ''Freekles" and pug" the
first up in this frame each got sin
gle, Bryant again sending his down
the first base line. Jake Morris then
came 70 bat and knocked OF a
scorching single scoring the two men
on bases. He came in with the third
run after Wall placed a hot grounder
between shortstop and second base
man.
Elders pitching for New Holland
should not be given all the blame for

Save the Trees

To the Editor o. The Times
The fact that the entire supply of
tree seedlings furnished by the State
forest in Clark County was exhausted
for Arbor day planting this year
seems to indicate that persons are
awaking to the importance of renew
ing our forests.
Most farmers have a mania for ex-
tinguishing woodlands for field pur-
poses. They also say the shade is
not good for their crops: that the
roots of trees along fences spread too
far on the fields and sap the strength
from the soil.
1t is not generally known that the
good trees do far outweigh the APP
parent damage to crops. Trees have
a tendency to draw rain and hold
moisture In lands where there are
practically no trees, such as desert
countries. rain is almost unknown.
Every farmer should have and pre-
serve a woodland Of ample size on
his estate. BY proper utilization 1t
will supply him with firewood indef-
nitely without seriously affecting the
forest Only large and crowded trees
should be cut down, giving the others
more nourishment and room to spread.
Much has been said about preserya-
ton of forests, but the subject cannot
be overdone.

JAILED FOR
WAR ACT 5
YEARS AGO
Pardon to Be Asked for PriS-
Oner Sentenced After
Long Delay.
BY KENNETH WATSON

Mrs. Helena Hill Wood. Washing
ton representative Of the American
Civil Liberties Union. will call on the
new attorney general next week to
make five requests.
The principal object of her visit
is to obtain a pardon for "poD-i-
cal prisoner" Joseph BaItrusaits of
st. Louis, who was sent to Leaven-
worth prison only last month, con-
victed Of violating a wartime act more
than two years after the signing Of
the armistice
Although the espionage act had
been revoked by Congress at the time
BaltrusaItis was arrested on Nov. II,
1920. the prisoner was found tech
nically guilty Of distributing literature
10 discourage the recruiting and en-
listing of soldiers"
las every one knows, no soldiers
were being recruited then. and the ar
rest can only be attributed to preju-
dice against alien radicals" Mrs.
Wood said today. I'VE believe that
Attorney General Stone will not re-.
fuse to recommend a pardon, after
he learns the facts in this case"
But the Baltrusaltis case is only
one Of the objects OF her mission with
Stone. In addition Mrs Wood is 60
ing to propose the following:
That the conditional pardons on
which some 1000 political prisoners
were released be removed and full
civil rights reSfOred
That Nicholas Zogg, the one remain
ing political prisoner. overlooked in
President Coolidge's blanket order last
December, be released from prison.
That II the United States Supreme
Court upholds the convictions of
twelve Cincinnati Socialists that the
men be pardoned without being sent
TO prison.
That all pending political indict-
ments be dismissed.
If Attorney General Stone sees fit
to grant these requests. all Of the
prisoners, including Eugene Debs,
would be restored to full civil rights.
