City council Monday night failed
to elect a deputy policeman from among
the men who were recommended by
Police Chief Bates.
It was as lively discussion which
arose when the question of electing a
deputy came up, four members of the
council, Couneilmen Kettles, Stacy, Hip
and Staten voting to have only two
policemen and the chief to make up
the force. As the motion received only
the four votes, and five votes are nec
essary to carry a question, the chief
was called on to suggest some men for
the vacancy. As quickly afe Chief
Bates made a recommendation, just so
quickly did the four members who op
posed another man vote against him,
and the list was soon exhausted.
Chief Bates informed city council
that if they saw fit to take off all the
deputies, he would give the city the
best service of which he was capable,
but he expressed his belief that the
dropping of a man would greatly hin
der the efficiency of the service.
There were many representative citi
zens present, and Mayor Wood asked
for their opinion, which was unanimous:
that the city needed at least four
policemen and that if any change
should be made, it should be toward
increasing the members of the police
force rather than cutting down the
number.
This opinion, however, had no weight
with the couneilmen, who voted
against it and had enough votes that,
while failing to carry the motion to
reduce the number, they were able to
keep from electing a deputy policeman.
Councilman Hill took out after Police
Chief Bates on the ground that he had
no business leaving the city to work
with the sheriff or revenue officers, and
he asked the opinion of Col. W. C.
Martin as to whether or not one man
could wear two badges. Col. Martin
stated that while he had not investi
gated the matter, not knowing the
city’s laws, he was of the opinion that
as the duties of arresting officers were
similar, he didn’t see why the chief
couldn’t go outside the city limits in
the apprehension of law breakers if
deputized by the sheriff.
While the council appeared antag
onistic to Chief Bates, or rather a
majority of those present did, it was
^clearly evident that the crowd was with
the chief, for he got a round of ap
plause when S. H. McKnight made a
statement in which he said he thought
Bob Bates the best police chief Dalton
had ever had.
It appears that the trouble had its
beginning when Councilman Caylor
didn’t like the working of Mr. Hill
Anderson on the pol ce force, and other
members of the council decided that
Councilman Caylor was taking too much
authority, the result being cross pur
poses rapidly developed, and the little
spat of Monday night was more because
of friction among the couneilmen with
the police department the goat.
With the present lineup, it appears
that Mayor Wood will be called on to
keep an extra policeman working
regularly.

TAX RECEIVER’S OFFICE
busy completing work
Complete Figures for County Will Be
Available Next Week
Charley Deck, tax receiver, with his
assistants, is busy this week making
up the tax digest for Whitfield county,
and it is probable that the complete
•figures by' districts will be available
Master Walter Jones, Jr., the 12-year-
old son of Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Jones,
of this city, played a real man’s part
in a near-tragedy last Saturday morn
ing at Tybee, when he helped to rescue
a child who had been caught in the
undertow, and later supported the little
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Tom ’ R.
Jones while help was coming.
He has been visiting, for several
weeks,his uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs.
T. R. Jones, and Saturday he went with
Mrs. Jones, her little daughter and two
other little boys for a swim in the
surf. It was then that Mrs. Jones and
two of the children came near drown
ing, and young Walter showed the man
qualities that were in him.
The following story of the rescue
which appeared in the Savannah Press
of Saturday speaks of “two small
boys’’ who rescued a companion bather,
one of whom was Walter Jones, Jr., of
this city. Mrs. Jones is a daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. W. F. Summerour of this
city, and she and her liasband lived
here up to a short time ago. The Savan
nah Press story follows:
Mrs. T. R. Jones, her little daughter,
Gertrude, 8 years old, and a little boy
Will Benton, 7 years old, narrowly
escaped drowning at Tybee this morn
ing, when the two children were caught
in the undertow. Mrs. Jones, who was
also in bathing, attempted to save them
and came near losing her life.
Mr. Sam C. Gardner of Savannah and
Lieutenant Hunter, U.S. navy and Mr.
Walter Connor rescued the mother and
the two children, Major Connolly of
Fort Screven brought medical aid, and
all are now resting easily.
Mrs. Jones and the two children were
in bathing about 11:30 o’clock. The
two children were washed down by a
wave and caught in an undertow.
When Mrs. Jones saw her little girl
s’nking she tried to save her. Walter
Connor, see ng Mrs. Jones in danger,
went out to get her. She was seven
or eight yards in front of the children,
where she had gotten in trying to
rescue her child. She was brought in
unconscious by Mr. Connor. She re
cuperated after being given first aid.
Mr. Sam G. Gardner was ill in bed
in his cottage with a fever of 102. Mrs.
Goodman called him from her porch
nearby and he got out of bed and rush
ed to the rescue. He rescued the little
girl and brought her in, falling exhaust
ed on the beach himself with the exer
tion.
Two small boys who were in bathing
went out and got Will Benton. Mrs.
Benton, who was down on the beach
in her clothes, went into the water to
get her son and met the little boys
bringing him out.
Mrs. Jones and her daughter are rest
ing easily. Will Benton in out of bed
and walking about.
Mr. W. O. Benton, the father of the
boy who' had such a narrow escape, is
a member of the firm of Chapman-
Clark Company.
Mr. Jones, whose wife and child had
such a narrow escape was in the city
/having come up from the island early
this morning. He was in the office this
morning when a friend came up in an
automobile and hurried with him to
the Tybee depot where he caught a
train for the island.
The near drowning created a great
deal of excitement at Lovell’s Station.
Many of the residents of that section
flocked to the beach to be of any
assistance possible. After the near
victims were brought from the water
neighbors in the vicinity rendered aid
to them before they took the train to
Savannah.
for publication in The Citizen next
week.
Mr. Deck states that until the figures
are completed, it will be impossible to
form any estimate of the increase over
last year’s tax values; hut he is con
fident the gain will be a substantial
one.
Great Convention
Planned by People
Of the West Side
Annual Gathering at Mt. Vernon to Be
Held Next Saturday—County Con
vention Comes August 7th
A matter of genuine interest to hun
dreds of people in this county is the
annual convention of the West Side
Sunday School association which will
be held next Saturday at Mt. Vernon,
and for which an interesting program
has been prepared.
Mr. John Nuckolls, president of the
association, will preside over the meet
ing, and an attendance of upward of
1,000 is confidently expected.
The program will consist of speeches,
recitations and s’nging, for which the
people of the western part of the
county have been preparing for a
^umber of weeks. It is probable there
will be a singing contest for the ban
ner in the afternoon.
The convention will openjn the morn
ing and will adjourn at noon for that
great big basket dinner for. which the
convention is justly famed. There will
be an abundance of food of all kinds,
and the warmest kind of a welcome
will be shown visitors.
The convention this year gives prom
ise of being one of the best on record,
and a record crowd is expeeted.
County Convention.
Then, on Saturday, Aug. 7, the Whit
field county convention will be held at
Pleasant Grove, for which President
Field Wilson is planning a great prog
ram. The Pleasant Grove convention is
for the people of the eastern part of
the county what the Mt. Vernon con
vention is to the west side, and it al
ways attracts a large attendance.
People of the county are anticipa
ting these two annual gatherings with
decided pleasure and enthusiasm.

City council, together with a number
of local business men, got heads to
gether Monday night at council meet
ing to devise ways and means of car
rying on the city’s business for the
next six months. On suggestion of
Councilman Kettles, it was decided to
get a complete statement of the ex
penditures in the various departments
during the first six months, figure the
amount of money that would be avail
able for the entire year and make out
budget, giving to each department
the amount of money that could be
used.
The expenditures for' the first six
months of the year showed that if
j;he remainder of the year should track
jthe first period, the city would be be
tween $7,500 and $10,000 in the hole
at the end of the year.
The semi-annual financial statement
of Clerk Carroll showed there had been
spent, outside of the payment of cer
tain notes, .about $33,000 in round
numbers. Of this, however, there was
a payment of about $2,500 on the new
motor street sprinkler which was charg
ed against the street department.
The showing of the fire department
was an excellent one, the expenses in
this department, due to the change
from the horse-drawn apparatus to the
motor fire truck, being over $1,500 less
than for the first six months of last
year. The police department payroll
and maintenance of prisoners was about
$1,000 more than for six months last
year, thle street department, over
$1,000 more outside the payment on the
sprinkler, the schools about $2,500 more,
with the cemetery, relief and nu'sance
department combined amounting to
about $1,000 more than the three de
partments for the same period of last
year. The city government cost was a
little less than last year’s first six
months,and the parks a little less, with
nothing spent on sewers.
That council must raise the tax at
least 10 cents on the $100 was the
opinion of all present, making a tax
rate of $1.50 per $100.
The report of the tax assessors was
somewhat disappointing, for while the
report was not complete, Clerk Carroll
stated that the increase in tax values
would show only about $35,000 more
that last year. His estimate was that
the taxable property would show about
$3,075,000.
The chairmen of the various com
mittees were instructed to figure out
just what the department could make
out with for the remaining six months,
and at the next meeting, a tax rate
will be fixed, and the apportionment to
the various departments will be made.

roll was as follows:

Reptile Was Planning Squirrel Supper
When Killed
Wednesday afternoon, July 14, as
Miss Leona Larmon was searching for
her milch cow near her home at Beaver-

a nest of snakes, but on further in
vestigation, she found it to be only one
dangerous reptile.
The snake had canght a squirrel and
was fixing for an early supper.
The large reptile was soon “mur
dered.” It was one of the largest
ever seen in that section, measuring 5
feet and 10 inches, and its head was
similar to a rattler’s. It was of a grey

F. S. Pruden, a prominent and popu
lar resident of Dalton, is a candidate
for county commissioner, and J. D.
Field, the county’s affable school
superintendent, offers for re-election,
these gentlemen making formal an
nouncement of their aspirations this
week.
It is probable that these annouce-
ments will be the last received, for the
time for closing the entry list is near
at hand, and there is not enough talk
of any other candidates to lend to the
belief that others will come into the
lineup at this late day.
Mr. Pruden has been active in civic
affairs for a number of years. He
served Dalton for several terms as city
clerk, and is now a member, of the
Dalton hoard of education. He has
never yet been defeated for office, and
his hosts of friends say he won’t this
time.
Any matter of a public spirited na
ture finds Mr. Pruden with his eoat
off ad working. He is one of Dalton’s
leading business men and would add
greatly to the efficiency of the board
of county commissioners. He is, with
his decided business ability and en
ergy, a mostlikable gentleman, whose
counsel on this important board would
prove of great value to the county. He
is forward-looking and of a progressive
nature, and he will doubtless receive
substantial support outside, as well
as in, the Dalton district. His formal
card to the voters of the county is
.as follows:
For County Commissioner.
To the voters of Whitfield County:
Desiring to serve as a member of the
board of county commissioners, I here
with announce my candidacy for one of
the four places to be filled on the board.
My-service, if elected, will be conscien
tious, looking always to the best onter-
ests of the county as I see them. Your
vote and help in the primary of August
20 will be truly appreciated.
Respectfully,
F. S. Pruden.
Reid for Superintendent.
Mr. J. D. Field, county school superin
tendent, is a candidate to succeed him
self in this important office, and it
appears now that there will be no
opposition to his candidacy.
Mr. Field succeeded Mr. J. J. Cope
land as school superintendent when Mr.
Copeland quit the work to become cash
ier of The Bank of Dalton, and he
has devoted his entire time to the duties
of the office. He is popular alike with
the teachers, pupils and patrons of the
county schools, and that his work has
given satisfaction is evidenced by the
fact that he has no opposition when he
goes [before the people asking that
they retain him in the office.
He takes a real interest in the work
of the county schools which have been
operated without friction under his
leadership. His announcement follows:
For County School Superintendent
To the Voters of Whitfield County;
lam a candidate for county school
superintendent subject to the primary
•°f August 20, and will appreciate your
vote and help in behalf of my candi
dacy. If you see fit to again honor me
with the office, my work will be direct
ed toward {bettering the schools in
every way within my power. Thanking
you for a favorable consideration of m y
candidacy, I am,
Respectfully yours,
John D. Reid.
