ing one in the first inning, and in the
third added another. Canton re-
manned scoreless until the sixth when

to take the lead and by punched hits
forced two across the place. Canton

County Products
Being Displayed
Chamber Commerce

Have you seen the agricultural dis
play in the windows of the Marietta
Chamber of Commerce? If you have
not, you have missed something real
ly worthwhile. 1t is not a large dis
play, but there are many articles and
many farms represented in it and it
gives you an idea of the many things
that can be successfully grown and
marketed in Cobb county It also
reveals to you the fact that we do
not have to depend upon other sec
lions of the country for things which
many of US believed could not be
raised in Cobb county. 1t shows you
that Cobb county farmers are going
in for Investigation and they are de-
termined to get the best of the boil
weevil.
Changes are made in this display
every few days so that every farmer
who desires may have some of his
products exhibited to the public. The
idea of the display was mapped out
by County Demonstration Agent, r.
L. Vansant and Secretary Mcdaniel,
Of the Marietta Chamber of Com
merce, and so long as the farmers
keep up the interest of furnishing a
sample of their products, and so long
as practically every person passing

tiers stop and views the display it will
be kept up indefinitely.

MONDAY NIGHT WIND
DAMAGES BUILDINGS
ON CHASTAIN FARM
Large Trees Are Broken and
Blown Away. Strong Wind
Moves Silos

Considerable damage has been
done in Cobb county during the past
several days by storms. Some of the
most severe damage was done Mon
day night on the farm of Mr.. w. d.
Chastain, prominent farmer and dali
ryman, who lives about three and
one-half miles north of Marietta just
off the Dixie Highway. Large trees
on Mr.. Chastain's farm were broken
down and carried several hundred
yards away, two large silos were
blown from their foundation, the ca
bles supporting them broken and
some damage was done to the large
barns on the farm.
From the damage done to many
of the large trees it looks like mir
acle that the buildings on the farm
were left at ALL The only explana-
ton plausible is that the worst of the
wind was higher in the air, catching
the tree tops but not reaching lower
to the buildings.
Mr. Chastain's property was COW
cred by insurance.
People living in the vicinity of Mr..
Chastain say the storm Monday night
was the strongest wind ever seen in
that section.
Some damages are reported from
other sections of the county.

MARIETTA DEL
EGATES RETURN
FROM new YORK
Mrs. Ralph Northcutt Gives Her
Views. Explains Her Vote on
Majority Report of Platform

Mrs. Ralph Northcutt and Judge
Newt Morris, delegates to the Ma
tional Democratic Convention III New
York have returned home. Both en-
joyed the convention immensely and
are very enthusiastic over The cut
come, although McAdoo, nor the next
choice, Meredith, were nominated.
Mrs. Northcutt said that if it came
to showdown between Davis and
Underwood, she would have support
ed Davis but that she supported Mer-
edith because he was McAdoo's
choice and she felt that the delegates
from his birthplace should do him
the honor of voting for his choice.
Mrs. Northcutt, in explaining her
vote for the majority platform as was
presented by the committee, said that
it was not a question of the Ku Klux
at all but that it was an issue brought
in and backed by the Republicans in
an effort to split the Democratic par
ty.
81 voted for the majority platform
because l felt that the preservation
of the party was much more impor-
tant than anything else and because
the introduction of the Ku Klux is
c,,o 1uoc i,,4opdad &c n bIo1ry OF Mo
Adoo," she said. "Real feeling for
or against the Ku Klux Klan," she
further said, played no part at all
in the vote of most of the delegates,
but preservation Of the party was the
main issue at stake"
Mrs. Northcutt said that she had a
wonderful time and when asked if
she didn't get tired of sitting in one
place all day, answered with a laugh
"Why, | never even thought of get
ting tired, people have the wrong
opinion of the convention, we were
not listening all the time, but we
went around among all the other del
egations and got acquainted with the
delegates from other states. The
convention was marked with a nat
uralness of informality and after
nearly three weeks, it began to get
like big family.
Mrs. Northcutt said that she was
especially proud of the Southern wo-
men. "The Southern women con-
Quoted themselves in way that COM
manded the greatest respect" she
said. where the Republican women
delegates were laughed at in their
convention the Southern Democratic
women were called on by headquar-
tiers to meet the most distinguished
people and on them was placed some
of the greatest responsibilities"
A more detailed account of the adj
ventures of the two Marietta dele
gates will follow in the next issue Of
the Journal.

The American embassy then at
years lacked official amenities of any
description, first because during the
war. no one attempted to entertain
in London, except in the most in
formal way. and then the ambassa-
dor. Walter Hines Page was in
fragile health and every effort was
made to conserve his strength for
more Important measures. 1t became
the delicate task of Mrs. Davis to in
augurate a new social regime which
would satisfy the demands, and yet,
not offend the proprieties. She sue
ceeded admirably in a middle course,
following the established traditions
and eliminating all that would SAVIOR
of frivolity. In the spring and sum-
mer of 1919. social life quickened
little in London, as it did in all the
oldworld capitals and II was then,
that Mrs. Davis presented her young
step daughter to the great world of
Britain at small and very simply
bassador, she had previously enter
tained King George and Queen Mary,
and this so simply and unoStenta
tiously that the London press rang
with her palses.
Mrs Davis was never deemed a
Clarksburg or in Washington, and
she found her obligations as the wife
of the solicitor general sufficient to
employ her time. But in London. the
wife of an ambassador and especially
the American, must belong to some
half dozen Anglo American clubs and
must render more than titular
service. Mrs. Davis took over this
part of her duties with ease and
grace, and for two seasons was
hostess at the American Luncheon
Club, was honorary president Of the
American Woman's Club and a mem
Der OF its board of managers and
naturally took a keen interest in
those societies which have a patri-
otlc trend and make for good feel
ing between the two nations. Great
Britain and the United States. Per
maps she owed much of her success
70 her rare beauty and splendid poise
She was considered the handsomest
Wife an American ambassador has
brought to London for fifty years, at
least. and her portrait by the masters
or the Royal Academy hangs in at
least three galleries.
AS British ambassador John w
Davis and his charming wife were at
the height of their fame when, in the
