WHITFIELD COUNTY
DROPPED INTO LINE
Republican Pluralities Completely Out
of Bounds of Reason—Watson Had
No Trouble Defeating Edwards
for U. S. Senate
Warren G. Harding and Calvin Cool
idge, republican candidates for presi
dent and v.ce president, Were swept
into office by the American voters in
the election of Tuesday, the victory be
ing the greatest ever achieved by the
republican party. They will go innto
the electoral eo.lege with the second
biggest vote ever recorded there, the
on.y exception being the -electoral vote
given President Wilson and Vice presi
dent Marshall in 1912, when the repub
lican party was sp-it by the withdraw
al 6t Col. Roosevelt.
The pluralities given the republican
candidates in many states were enor
mous, New York .lea ding -with a plural
ity of over 1,000,000 votes. Four years
ago, the republicans carried New York
over President Wilson by a p-uraiiiy
of only about 100,000.
Swinging' on down the line, the pop
ular vote grew for the republicans to
enormous proportions. Illinois and
Pennsylvania rolled up enormous votes,
Ohio, the home state of both candi
dates, went for Harding, and the west
swung back into the republican col
umn, reversing its action of- four years
ago.
The solid South was broken, Ten
nessee going republican, and in several
other southern states, the republicans
made great gains. .
It was a landslide with- a capital L.
Watson Had Easy sailing.
In the state of Georg a, all demo
cratic nominees were elected without
trouble. The talk of the strength of
Harry Stillwell Edwards, independent
candidate for United States senator,
didn’t show in the returns, for Thomas
E. Watson went in on a tidal ,wavC.
Hardwick was elected governor with
out any trouble, only one man in this
county finding that he had opposition, ^
.for ,only one v.ote in Whitfield went for
H. B. Baylor, who was running against
him.
Republican Congress.
Not only were the standard bearers
of the republican^party victorious, but
the country elected a republican senate
and house. They held to the leadership,
in both houses of congress, and went
further, they increased their lead. „
Bonded Warehouses
for Cotton Farmers
Assured in County
North Georgia Warehouse and Ware
house at Cohutta Will Be Bondod—
After Licensed Grader
At a meeting of farmers and business
men held Friday, night at the court
house, it was definitely decided to go
ahead -with the bonded warehous'e ques
tion, procure a licensed grader and
weigher, and get everyth ng ready at
the earliest possible moment.
It means that instead of one bonded
warehouse in the county, there will, in
all probability, be two, for both the
North Georgia Warehouse company, of
this city, and Shugart Bros., of Cohut*
ta, have made application to operate
as bonded warehouses.
The committee has encountered trou
ble in procuring the services of a li
censed grader and we gher, but work
looking toward securing one is being
continued.
With the bonded .warehouses, the
farmer l:an store his cotton, have it
graded and weighed by a disinterest
ed party, and, if he desires, borrow
money on the warehouse receipts, up
to a certain percentage of the market
value of his cotton. It can also be
insured against loss by fire, and, be ng
in a dry, protected place, it will not
be damaged by weather conditions.
The bonded warehouse has worked
unusually well in every instance it has
been established. Not on'y does it
keep the cotton safe from damage from
weather or fire, but it can be market
ed, when desired, to much better ad
vantage.
Farmers and business men united
here to establish the bonded ware
house, which was wanted by farm
ers in all sections of the county. The
movement was inaugurated by the
count yfarm bureau.

TWO NEW POLICEMEN
ELECTED BY COUNCIL
Monthly Meeting Held Monday Night
with Little Business
At the. meeting of city council Mon
day night, John Harden and Arthur
Manis were elected policemen, succeed
ing Policemen Anderson and Teasley.
There was little business to come be
fore the council. A petition from
transfer men stating that license fees
had not been collected from certain
people engaged in the same business
they were and asking that their license
fees be refunded was tabled, and the
police chief was instructed to investi
gate the matter and if he found any
liable for license, to collect the fee.
A communication from A T. Hicks,
claim'ng that the police chief had
made an unwarranted assault upon him
was referred to the police committee.
Mr. C. H. Rainwater, a representative
of the Georgia division of the Farm Bu
reau Federation, and Mr. R. C. Sharpe,
promient in the work in Floyd county,
are here this week for the purpose of
participating in the great campaign for
members :'n Whitfie'd county. Mr,
Strahan, district farm demonstration
agent, was here the first two days of
the week, to help in the work.
A house-to-house canvass is being
made to give all a chance to join, and
!a great membership is expected.
The farm bureau organization Has had
a marvelous growth. Organized March
4 of this year, it now has a membership
of over 2,000,000.
The main features handled by the
farm bureau are the marketing prob
lems, roads, -transportation, education
of the ch'ldren, and the handling of
Various farm problems. It is not a polit
ical organization in any sense of the
word, for when an officer offers for
public office, he is automatically drop
peA' from the membership roll. It is
not a secret organization, everything
being done out in the open, and every
body is eligible to membersh'p—bank
ers as well as farmers, professional men,
etc.
FLAGS AT HALF MAST
FOR MEMORIAL SERVICE
Whitfield for Harding.
Whitfield county went the way the
nation went: for WaTren G. Harding
for president, and Calvin Coolidge for
vice-president. Cox carried only two
of the thirteen districts of the county,
Carbondale and Tunnel Hill, the great
vote given the ropul>-leans being a
decided surprise.- The republican plu
rality was 321.
Dalton district, for probably the first
time since the war between the states,
went for the republican candidates by
a plurality of 105. Debs reee'ved only
•21 votes in the county.
The interest taken’ loeally in the
election was decidedly unusual. All
day, th<( court' house grounds were
fi led with people; the republican work
ers werl. busy; but there were few
democratic ■ workers.
Watson swept the county over Ed
wards, independent candidate for Uni
ted States senator, by a vote of 1,489
to 118. .Hardwick, for governor, re
ceived 1,535, while his opponent, H. B.
Baylor, received" 1 vote in the whole
county.
Whitfield didn’t l'ke the constitu
tional- amendments and voted against
every one of* them. Few people, how
ever, voted on the amendments, for
out of a vote of over 1,700, less than
500 voted either for or against the
amendments.
All democratic nominees for county
office were, unanimously elected.
More than 100 people scratched the
names- of ■ both candidates for United
States senator, and about 200 scratched
Hardwick’s name. In the main, how
ever, the democrats voted the straight
.ticket?

The Farm Bureau has accomplished
•much the betterment of farmers of
the country, some of the work being
embraced in the following which has
been sent throughout the country by
lo-cal citizens who have joined the
Farm Buearu here:
Dalton, Ga., Oct. 25, 1920.
Dear -Sir:
Are yon interested in the better mar
keting of your cotton, cotton seed,
corn, sweet potatoes, dairy products
and other farm crops! Are yon inter
ested in looking after your business
so that farming -will be more profitable!
Then, join the farm bureau when the
b':g. drive begins in our county on
November 1 and help to put it across.
A committee of your neighbors will
call on you and invite you to become
a -member. Our county always does
things in a big way and we hope to
sign up every farm owner and tenant
during the drive. We'want -Whitfield
to be a -100. peT cent county and hope
you will do your part.
The farmers of Ohio through a
strongly. organized Farm Bureau pre
vented the single tax menace from com
ing into that state. The Iowa Farm
Bureau saved the farmers of that state
_$237,00(i.00 in thet pooling of thledr
•wool and marketing it co-operatively.
The American Farm Bureau Federa
tion on the recent freight rate in
creases will save three dollars for each
member of your family during the com
ing year. It is making the traveling
public pay its way through the increase
in passenger and pullmah . fares. Had
the American Farm Bureau Federa
tion not represented you before the
Interstate Commerce Commission you
and the shippers of the country would
have to pay $328,000,000.00 additional
freight charges to what yon are now
paying. Think of what it means to
have an organization to speak your
viewpoint and protect your interests.
The Georgia Farm Bureau Federa
tion wants to see bonded warehouses,
licensed graders, and co-operative mar
keting of cotton and cotton seed in
every^ county in Georgia. It wants a
big market exchange that will handle
all of the sweet potatoes in the state,
and another that will represent the
watermelon growers of Georgia. There
are hundreds'of things to be done to
protect our interests and we want to
employ the best' brains of ,the country
to solve our problems. If we don’t
look after our business nobody else
will.

Appended are a few reasons why
every progressive farmer should join
the farm bureau. It affords—
First: Membership in a large and
strong strictly farmer-controlled organ
ization in your county.
Second: Membership in an ever-in-
eteasing State Federation of the Coun
ty- Farm Bureaus.
Third: Membership in a National
Association of the federated bureau*
of the states.
Fourth: ’ Membership in non-political
and non-sectarian associations which
have for their prime and only purpose
the organization of the farmers of the
United States for the advancement of
the farming business through a con
structive program with reference to
existing associated businesses and or
ganizations’ which are necessary and
lawful. To aim at making, the busi
ness of farming better and surer, be
ing free from uncertain and unsteady
markets with selling prices governed
by a profitable cost of production sale.
Fifth: Protection against exploita
tion by all undesirable stock salesmen
who are peddling “blue-sky.” Warn
ing and caution are essential, for the
spirit of sound investment must not be
mined, since the healthy economical
development of our state and nation
depend upon it.

to register. The registration books are
ready at the clerk’s ofece, and will re
main open until ten days prior to the
election when they will be turned over
to the registrars for revision.
The question of women participating
in the city election has not yet been
definitely decided; but it is. probable
they can vote. There :s a provision
of the eity charter which makes it
necessary, in order to participate in
a city election, for the voter to be
able to register for a state election, and
so far no provision has been made by
law for women to register in Georgia.
Just what interpretation will be given
the provision is not yet known.

Death Has Galled
Two Beloved Women
from Earthly Work
Mrs. L. R. Fitnsr Died Thursday and
Mrs. Dennis Johnson Sunday—
Both Loved and Admired
Following an illness of -about 48
hours, Mrs. Lynn Bussell Pitner, aged
and beloved resident of this city, died
Thursday afternoon at the home of
her daughter, Mrs. Frank Manly, -on
North Thornton avenue. Mrs. Pitner
was stricken with paralysis Tuesday,
and. owing to her advanced age of 86
years, no hope was held out for her
recovery; she gradually grew worse,
the end coming early Thursday after
noon.
Mrs. Pitner was a native of Blount
county, Tenn., being bom June 6, 1834.
She was married to Major T. H. Pitner,
of ths county, on Mareh 18, 1856, eom-
ing as his -bride to the old Pitner
homestead near Cohutta, where she re
sided up to the death of her husband,
February 7, 1905, when she came to
this city to live with her daughter,
Mrs. Frank Manly.
Mrs. Pitner was one of the most
prominent and highly esteemed women
of this section of the Btate, where she
spent most of her long and useful life.
A member of the Methodist church, she
was a Christian woman of strong char
acter and a most lovable -demeanor,
She was charitable to a marked de
gree, and derived, her greatest pleasure
from giving pleasure to others. Her
desire was to do good in a modest, re
tiring way, and her life was filled with
goodness. She occupied a special place
in the affections of those whose lives
were touched by her, and her passing
is truly monraed.
The funeral services were conducted
Saturday morning from Mt. Olivet
church, near Cohutta, by Rev. Horaee
Smith, her former pastor, ass'sted by
Dr. Frank K. Sims, and interment was
in the cemetery nearby.
Mrs. Pitner is survived by one daugh
ter, Mrs. Frank Manly, of this eity, and

Pitner, of Chattanooga, and Mr. W. H.
Pitner, of Cohutta, together with one

■beloved and highly respected resi
dent of this ctfunty, died Sunday after
noon at the home of her granddaughter,
Mrs. H. P. Colvard, in Chattanooga,
news of her death causing genuine sor
row throughout this county where she
lived up to a.few years ago when she
went to Chattanooga to make her home:
Shortly after dinner Sunday, she went
to a conch to rest, and peacefully went
to a sleep from which she didn’t awake.
Mrs. Johnson was, prior to her mar
riage, Miss Lizzie- Hunt, of Gordon
county, where she was married to Mr.
Dennis Johnson, a highly respected
farmer. The marriage united two of
the most prominent families of the
eonnty just sonth of here.
She came to this eounty with her
husband, and they made their honle on
their farm two miles south of the city
up to the time of her husband’s death,
when she made her home with her
daughter, the late Mrs. J. W. Barrett.
Mrs. Johnson was 86 years of age,
and her long life was one of gennine
uscfnlness. She possessed a strong and
noble Character, and many other ad
mirable traits that won for her the
love' of those surrounding her. ' She
was a member of -the Methodist church
and was a true, Christian woman,
eharitable, gentle, lovable.
On receiving news of her death her
grandson, Mr. Dennis. Barrett, and his
children, Miss DoAthy and Joe Barrett,
went to Chattanooga, accompanying
the body here Monday afternoon. The

Great Organization to Be
Perfected at Meeting
Sunday
TO HELP CHILDREN
IN CRIMINAL HOMES
Representative Citizens of Six Counties
of Cherokee Circuit to Meet at
Court House and Form Most
Worthy Association
A meeting of far-reaehing importance
wijj be held at 2 o’eioek next Sunday
afternoon at the court house here, the
meeting to be attended by represent
ative citizens of Whitfield, Murray,
Bartow, Gordon, Catoosa and Dade
counties for the purpose of perfecting
an organization to look after the chil
dren of patents with Criminal records
and those snrrounded by unwholesome
conditions with a view to making them
nsefnl citizens.
Neyt Saturday afternoon, the Georgia
Industrial Home -band of fifteen young
sters who are being trained to make
useful citizens, will be here to give a
eone'ert oh Hamilton street, and this
band will fnm'ah music for the meeting
of Sunday afternoon at the court house.
The Boy Seouts of Dalton,have charge
of securing homes for these boys dur
ing their stay in Dalton.
The Georgia Industrial Home, which
is not a denominational institution, has
accomplished a wonderful work in the
pray of -bringing the best in ch'ldren to
the surface and training them for use;
ful lives. Countless instances of just
how well the institution has done its
work could be recited.
Judge M. C. Tarver, one of the lead
ers in the movement to perfect an
active organization in the Cherokee
judicial circuit for the purpose of pro
viding funds to care for the children
of the circuit who now haven’t a chance
to- make good, has issued the call for
Sunday’s meeting. He has discussed
the matter with leading eitizens of all
six of the counties of the c’reuit, and
they‘have signified a desire to join such
an organization.
It is not a movement like that foster
ed by the orphans’ homes; but it goes
much further. A child with both par
ents, living may be snrrounded by an
atmosphere of a criminal nature, and
this child, left alone, would, in. all prob
ability, grow np to a life of sin and;
crime. Taken from the criminal home
and. -put in an institution where law
and order and the reward of goodness
and usefulness are taught, he would, in
all probability make a useful citizen.
Sneh a plan would, not only mean
muck for the children; but it would
mean much for the circuit, and would
ultimate v result in a material reduc- '
tion in crime. .
The meeting of Sunday afternoon is
an open one, and everybody interested
urged to attend. There will be some
excellent music from the band, some
good speakers, and some Teal action. ’
You should be there.
me with the office, I will work at all
times for the good of the city as a
whole and for your best interests. Your
vote and influence in my behalf will be
appreciated.
Respectfully,
L. B. Lawton.

cut; but is now thought to be well on
the road to recovery.
James Longley was riding his bi
