GREAT TENT MEETING IN PROGRESS LABOR DAY GAME GERMAN TREATY
Throngs Gather under Canopy to At
tend Every Service.
A few months nfto such a strictly
secular publication as the Manufac-
tnrers' Record had an editorial saying
that what this country most needs is
a genuine revival of religion, and it
is indeed time that people should turn
from the constant pursuit of wealth
or pleasure and pay some regard to
tha right relations they should hold
toward God and their fellow man.
Incidentally, it may be mentioned
that one of the things that Lcnine
and Trotsky are trying to accomplish
in Russia is to do awny with all re
ligion, and that this movement is one
that they hope to make world-wide.
Here in Cedartown we have just
had a striking evidence of the practi
cal good of a real revival of religion,
a number of bootleggers nnd dissolute
characters being forced to leave the
mill district as a result.
There is good reason to hope that
the big tent meeting now in progress
will have wide-spread and furreaching
results. The big tent is crowded ev
ery night nnd the morning services
arc largely attended, and the great
congregations are giving the best of
attention to the carnset preaching.
Dr. Robert King, who has been the
pastor of the Presbyterian church at
Kingsport, Tenn., and who goes from
here to become pastor of the leading
Presbyterian church in Charleston,
S. C., is doing some magnificent
preaching. We do not mean by this
that he is paying any attention to
"pulpit orntory," but that he is de
livering Gospel messages in a remark
ably direct and earnest manner,which
appeals to both the houd nnd heart of
his hearers.
Rev. Frank Pirn, pastor of the
Methodist church at Jonesboro, is the
successful lender of the singing. He
has organized a large choir, with Mrs.
W. II. Trnwick ns organist, nnd the
introductory song service is one of
the best fenturos of the meetings.
Prayer meetings are being held
daily in various business houses for
the men and in homes for the Indies,
and are well attended.
Services arc held twice a dny ip the
tent opposite the Court House, 10 a.
m. nnd 7.30 p. m. being the hours. A
cordial invitation is extended to all.
MAKES PROGRESS
Mr. E. L. Watson, the organizer
for Pol!;, Floyd and Chattooga coun
ties, spent the first of the week here,
and addressed n good crowd Monday
aternoon in the interest of the Co
operative Cotton Marketing Plan. A
number of signatures were obtained
to contracts, and —more important
still—the interest of a number of
good farmers was enlisted as work
ers for the movement
An intensive campaign will now be
put on, and Polk is expected to fall
promptly in line with her sister coun
ties.
ENTERTAIN BOYS
"We Build,” is the motto of Ki-
wanis, and Cedartown Kiwanians are
carrying out the idea in an admirable
manner this week. At their luncheon
tomorrow at 12.30 at the Wayside
Inn they will entertain the boys of the
Senior nnd Junior Classes of our City
High School, thus getting acquainted
with the Kiwanians of the uture. An
interesting program will be presented,
and the occasion promises to be one
of enjoyment for both the Club and
its guests.

Monday i.-, Labor Day, which is a
dai of rest.
The holiday will be marked here by
the close of the base ball season, and
every fan should turn out to see the
closing gnme. And by "fans” we
mean everybody, for all are now more
or less interested-in the great national
game.
Carrollton will be the visiting team,
nnd the game will start promptly at
10 a. m.
It is expected that quite u crowd of
Carrollton people will come here to
see the morning game, and a good
many from Cedartown will go with
our team in cars to see the afternoon
game in Carrollton.
Next Mondny will be a big dny for
fandom in the Georgia State League.
Our LaGrange Visitor*.
We always like to see Hawkins
pitch. He goes at it in dead earnest,
and puts in his best licks from stnrt to
finish. If the team backs him up, so
much the better. If it doesn't, he
does his best anyhow. And that was a
jimdandy gnme he pitched Thursday
against LaGrange, with every member
of the team on his mettle and playing
errorless -ball. He gave up only G hits
and struck out 9 men, and the score
was 5 to 1 in our fnvor. Tucker got
a 2- and Kelton a 3-bagger, and
Bradley hit a homer nnd did a slick
Monday Morning j Of Peace Signed in Ber
Closes Season Here lin.
The sepnrate treaty of peace with
Germany was signed Thursday in
Berlin by an official representative.
The treaty puts into force the eco
nomic, reparations, military and va
rious other provisions of the unratifi
ed treaty of Vcsailles, but provides
specifically that the United States
shall not be bound by the covonant
of the League of Nations or by cer
tain other enumerated parts of the
Veesaillos settlement without consent
of the United States. It contains a
blanket provision that any benefit
which might accrue to this country
under the Versailles puct is to be re
garded as of full force. G-r nay's
renunciation of bn:- nve -,. j, ..ses
sions jointly to 11,.- ,»ig lir e powers is

of Hie Versailles treaty, the sections
’ elating to prisoners, reparations, fi
nance, economic settlements, com
merce and abrogation of all other ex
isting treaties between the two coun
tries.
In disassociating the United Stntcs
from the league of nations, the docu
ment. provides not only thnt this gov
ernment will not be bound by the
covenant but thnt no action of the
League shall be considered as placing
an obligation upon America. The
United Staten also stipulates thnt it
will not be bound by the sections of

Dr. Mathias IJfzberger, former
German Minister of Finance, was as
sassinated Friday in Berlin. He was
one of the foremost figures in the
German political world,but made him
self hated by military element dur
ing the war by proposing peace with
out annexations and urging parlia
mentary reforms. He also favored ac
ceptance of the-terms of the armis
tice, contrary to the views of the “bit
ter-enders.”
An unsuccessful attempt was made
on his life early last year. His mur
der means a great loss to Germany at
a time when he is badly needed there,
and his assassination may be the fore
runner of much trouble in that un
happy country.

Mr. Edge will organize the new

an interesting program will be pre

A good church building will be c-

will go to Big League. LaGrtage
won the first game of the double-
header 6 to 8, with Pried pitching.
Shannar twirled the second for the
visitors, and we won 5 to 2. Tucker
and Kelton annexed 2-baggers.
LaGrange took the final game Sat
urday, 6 to 0, making it a 60-60 prop
osition as far as the four-game series
was concerned. Williamson, the star
“one-game-a week” twirler, pitched,fv
wonderful game foi- the visitors, and
Daniels pitched a good game for us.
We made 6 errors and LaGrange 0,
nnd this helps to tell the story of the
sad ending of an interesting game.
Daniels struck out 6 men, nnd Wil
liamson 8. There was a fine double
play from Tatler to Slater to Kelton,
and Slater did the only base-stealing
of the game.
Romans Here.
“Wild Bill” Pierson, one of the nif
tiest pitchers in the League, was in
the box Monday for Home, nnd what
he did to us was n plenty, though
Tucker got a 2- and Bradley a 3
bagger from him and Slater a home
Hawkins pitched his usual good
game, hut our 4 errors wore expen
sive, and the score was 12 to 4 in fa
vor of the visitors.
And then Rome sent us still further
on the downward road Tuesday,
thanks largely to a hunch of 7 errors.
Culp was'wild, and had to be re
placed by Bradley, who pitched a
fine game, but the charge was made
too late to save the score, which was
1»3 to 1 when he went in and 13 to
8 when the game ended. Gross pitch
ed for Home, and we got 13 hits from
him. Tatler and Shaw made 2-basers,
and the former got 4 hits out of 5
times up. Bradley starred with a
homer.
The Rome games, which were fin
ished here yesterday, were the last se
ries games to be played here. We go
to LaGrange today for four games the
rest of the week, and then comes the
“grand finale” with Carrollton com
ing here Monday morning and our
trip to Carrollton in the afternoon.
“Big Chief” Guyon, a full-blooded
