OFF FOR BIG
MEET AT PROVIDENCE

Secretary R. j. McGinnis and Err
nest Edwards of Cody Aerie, Eagle
Lodge, left Wednesday morning for
Providence, R. L., where they eX-
pect to open ''sanitarium %headquar-
tiers and put across a campaign for
the enactment of a law in Eagle
dom which will authorize the build
ing of a sanitarium for afflicted
and INDECENT members of the fra
ternity.
Messrs. McGinnis and Edwards
are going forth for what they hope
will be the last battle of a cam
paign which has been carried on by
the local committee over a period
of two years, and have fortified
themselves with the support of a
vast majority of the aeries of the
United States.
Just what will be the result of
their work is p~roblematical but their
Cody friends send them east with
every wish for their success, and the
hope that if these proposed insti-
buttons are given the approval of
the grand aerie that Cody may re-
ceive favorable consideration as a
site for one of the sanitariums.

CITY COUNCIL DIVIDED
AS TO ELECTRIC LIGHT
FRANCHISE GRANTING
Councilman Tinkcom Makes Motion
That His Company be Granted
Renewal of Franchise

Every effort is being made by
Mayor r. C. Trueblood and mem-
bers of the city council to go into
the matter of granting Geo. t
Beck of the Shoshone Electric Light
company a continuation of the eN-
listing franchise with the town OF
Cody and this week a hearing is
being held to ascertain if possible
the equitable rates which would be
granted by the Utilities board in
event the franchise was renewed.
At a meeting of the town council
July 10 the matter came up for dis
cussion and Councilman Chas. Stump
made a motion hat the town of
Cody exercise it option to purchase
at the expiration of the existing
franchise, all of the distributing
system within the town limits of the
town of Cody from the Shoshone
Electric Light company, and to con-
tract with the Shoshone Electric
Light company to furnish power for
the town of Cody at a rate not to
exceed the price per k. W. hour
offered by the United States RecIa-
nation service This contract was
to cover a period of twenty years
Stump's motion failed for want of
a second.
Councilman Tinkcom then moved
that the application of Geo. T.
Beck for a renewal of his franchise
be granted, and that the city exer-
else its privilege to call on the
Public Utilities board for an i'm
mediate hearing to determine the
rates. This motion failed for want
of a second.
Councilman Thurston then moved
that a formal petition for a hear
ing on the Electric Light company's
rates be prepared and filed with
the Public Utilities commission, ask
ing for an immediate hearing to be
held in Cody. Motion was second
ed by Stump and duly carried.

part of the farmer, and especially
those on the government irrigation

Cheers Shake Rafters

As Mr.. McAdoo entered the court
house from the rear and assembled
the rostrum, the rafters of the his
toric old building shook with the tu-
multuous outbreak of enthusiasm
that reverberated in the chamber
and through the corridors of the
courthouse. The demonstration con-
tinued for a full minute before Mayor
Gam called the meeting to order and
presented the Rev. George Crow, pas
tor of the Second Baptist church,
who invoked the divine blessing, fol-
lowing which the mayor himself pre-
sented Mr.. McAdoo.
CThe distinguished visitor struck a
responsive cord when he addressed
the gathering as fellow Georgians"
and declared it impossible in the cir
eumstances of such a magnificent
ovation to refrain from quoting the
loftiest emotions of the human heart
"Breathes there the man with soul
so dead,
Who never to himself has said,
This is my own, my native land?"

Seventeen hundred school children
Of Marietta, augmented by some 500
children from the county schools,
were drawn up on both sides of the
street and as the procession contin-
ued its journey towards the court
house the lungs of the little ones
showed most vigorous welcome to
the distinguished visitor.

MARIETTA BIG SUCCESS

commended his position in behalf Of
woman suffrage, prohibition and child
labor laws, principles for which he
asserted Mr. Underwood has never
shown much interest.
Andrew C. Erwin, of Athens. and
Lee M. Langley of Rome, told why
the people of their respective coun-
ties are aligning themselves behind
Mr.. McAdoo, and voiced convictions
that Georgia's native son would win
a magnificent victory next Wednes-
day.
Mrs. z. V. Peterson, Mrs. j. Lind
sey johnson, of Rome; Mrs. Julia
O'Keefe Nelson, of Atlanta, and Mrs.
w. F. Tremary, chairman of the Full
ton County McAdoo club and secre-
tary of the Woman's Christian Tenn
perance union, were among others
who called upon the women of Geor-
gia to align themselves behind Mr..
McAdoo's candidacy.
]. r. Smith and Hollins N. Ran
dolph, both of whom are prominent
ly identified with the McAdoo cam
paign, gave a most encouraging ac-
count concerning the strength that
Mr.. McAdoo has developed.
Received With Ovation
Never in the history of Cobb coun-
ty has there been a demonstration
comparable to that which marked the
Homecoming of Mr.. McAdoo-and
Cobb has been the scene of many no
table political rallies in the past
years. Mr.. McAdoo's visit was fea-
tured by the magnitude and sincerity
of the ovation accorded him from the
moment that he reached Smyrna, in
the lower end of the county, until
he began his speech in the Cobb coun-
ty court house at Marietta.
The multitude, which was all over
the public square, thronged the
streets and clamored for admission to
the court house, was truly representa-
tive of Cobb county's sterling citi-
zenship, and truly representative, too,
of every section of the community.
In addition, there were delega-
tons of prominent men and women
from adjoining counties, and every
section of northwest Georgia.
Nearly Hour Late
Leaving Atlanta nearly an hour
late on his special trolley car. Mr..
McAdoo and his escort reached Smyr-
ma at 10:45 O'Clock. Here the dis
tinguished visitor was met by del
egation that reflected in its enthusi-
asm spirit of cordiality and hospi
tally that afterwards found express
sion at Marietta. Mayor Gordon
Gam, James T. Anderson, Moultrie
Sessions, Ralph w. Northcutt and
other prominent men, extended to
Mr.. McAdoo cordial welcome.
The McAdoo party left its special
car at Smyrna and took automobiles
to Marietta, the gaily bedecked ears
forming an attractive procession as
they sped over the we'll paved road.
The automobiles were driven by ].

Committee Personnel

Friends of Mr.. McAdoo justly
doubt whether in all his wide expert
ence in American politics, during
which he followed the fortunes of
Woodrow Wilson through two veto
rious campaigns, ne never attended
more cordial demonstration or ever
himself received an ovation of great
er cordiality and enthusiasm.
Mr.. McAdoo, it was recalled, as
chairman of the Democratic national
committee, directed Woodrow Will
sons first campaign for resident
which resulted in dislodging the Re-
publican party from the seat of gov
eminent at Washington. Mr.. McA-
doc witnessed and enjoyed the i'm
pressive and enthusiastic reception
accorded his chieftain. Among those
here today were several who accom-
panied Mr. Wilson in this campaign.
and they well understood why Mr.
McAdoo was so overwhelmed today
with the spirit and genuineness of
the ovation he received in the county
of his birth. Certainly it was COM
parable to the most enthusiastic ever
shown for any candidate for any Of
fee. Marietta and Cobb county did
themselves proud. And the words of
commentator that have been heaped
upon the reception and entertainment
committees are fully justified by the
character of the event.
Among those serving on these
committees were: Mrs. George Keel
err, Mrs. Ralph w. Northcutt, Mrs
E. E. Hague, j. T. Anderson, Judge
Newt A. Morris, Campbell Wallace,
George Montgomery and others.
Among visitors from afar were the
delegation of some 40 or SO Chatta-
noogans, headed by George F. Milton,
editor Of the Chattanooga News, and
one of Tennessee's Democrats, and
chairman of the McAdoo campaign
committee in Tennessee. Mr.. Milton
stated that the Volunteer state can
be safely counted to send a McAdoo
delegation to the Democratic nation
al convention.

Crowd Forces Halt

At the public square in Marietta
the procession was forced to a halt
because of the crowd that overlooked
the square and congested the streets.
Mr.. McAdoo, Mayor Gam, James T.
Anderson and others in the party left
their cars, and falling in behind the
Georgia Railway and Power Company
band paraded around the public
square.
In front of the courthouse the par
ty halted, and here Mr.. McAdoo re-
viewed the school children as they
passed in well ordered ranks before
him. There followed a public recep-
ton in the street, during the course
of which Mr.. McAdoo was showered
with expressions of cordial greetings
from hundreds of men and women
who crowded about him.
In the meantime the original in
tention to have Mr.. McAdoo speak
in the public square was abandoned
on account of weather conditions,
and those who had advance informa-
ton of this change in the program
had sought seats in the spacious Cobb
county courtroom. The place was
packed to its utmost capacity and
hundreds clamored in vain for admis-
sion.

Mr.. McAd6o's visit to Marietta is
homecoming in the real sense of
the word, and his political address at
the court house is only one of sew
eral incidents that will mark his brief
visit amongst his own people.
After the speaking at the court
house the distinguished son of Cobb
county was the guest of honor at .
luncheon at the Marietta Golf Club.
which was attended by many of the
most prominent citizens of the COM
munity. At this luncheon, judge
Newt A. Morris presided as toastmas-
ter and many informal and cordial
speeches of welcome were delivered.
Auto Tour Planned
Later in the afternoon Mr.. McA-
doc and others will take an automo-
bile tour, during the course of which
he will visit the scene of Mr.. Nc
Adoo's birth-an old colonial house
on the Powder Springs road, some
three and a half miles from Mar:et-
| ia.
A feature of the reception given
Mr. McAdoo in Marietta was the
cordially with which he was greeted
by members of the local American
Legion post. Under the command of
captain Fred Morris, the members
OF the post occupied conspicuous
place IN the procession, and when the
parade disbanded in front of the
court house its members individually
sought out their former fellow citi-
zen, not only to give him a warm
welcome TO Cobb county but to give
to him their assurances of support
IN his campaign for the Democratic
presidential nomination.
George Goumas, who enlisted from
Cobb county, and who is one of the
few three-medal men in the state If
georgia, was among the number who
manifested lively interest in Mr.
McAdoos candidacy.
Goumas, who is a merchant at Ma
rietta, and native of Greece re-
ceived the Croix de Guerre, the med
al of the Legion of Honor and the
Distinguished Service Cross, for dis
tinguished service on the battlefield.
