Number 41
BUILDING AND LOAN ASSOCIATION
Auspiciously Launched at Meeting Monday
Evening.
An enthusiastic meeting was held
Monday evening in the Recorder’s
Court room at the City Hall by mem
bers of the Chamber of Commerce
for the purpose of perfecting an or
ganization of a Building and Loan
Association. The meeting was pre
sided over by Mr. C. C. Bunn, Mr. R.
O. 'McCord acting as Secretary.
Mr. L. N. Shahan, Jr., Secretary
and Treasurer of the Citizens Build
ing & Investment Co., of Rome, was
present and explained in detail the
workings of their association in Rome
A petition was circulated for sub
scriptions, and about one hundred
shares were subscribed in the meet
ing. A committee consisting of
Messrs. C. C. Bunn, B. F. Wright, E.
L. Henderson, E. B. Russell and A.
C. Cobb was appointed to solicit fur
ther subscriptions up to the amount
of 600 shares. With this amount the
success of the Association is as
sured.
There could be no better move
ment put forward in Cedartown by
which to encourage the spirit of thrift
and home-owning among our people.
Aside from this it offers a very at
tractive proposition to the investor,
as it will pay from 8 to 12 per cent
on savings, which are paid monthly.
Any of the committee will be glad
to explain the workings of a Building
and Loan Association, or information
can be obtained through Secretary
| McCord, of the Chamber of Com-
1 merce.
This is a really excellent move
ment, and all citizens should join it
and keep our money in Cedartown.
There is hardly a boy or girl in Ce
dartown who could not save ns much
as $1 per month, and all of these ad
ded together make a fund which is
loaned to members on first mort
gages on Cedartown real estate.
There is no better security possible
than this.
Be roady to subscribe when the
committee calls on you.

SENATOR GEORGE SALVATION ARMY
Formally Nominated
Saturday.
In a most harmonious and enthus
iastic state convention Saturday in
Macon, Hon. Walter F. George was
formally nominated for the United
States Senate to succeed the late Sen
ator Thos. E. Watson, and Mnj.Chas.
E. McGregor ns Pension Commission
er to succeed the late Hon. J. W.
Lindsey.
The speech placing Judge George
in nomination was made by Judge U.
V. Whipple, of Cordele. Hon. E. S.
Ault, of Cedartown, was honored by
selection to make one of the nddres-
ses seconding the nomination; ho had
a good subject, and made one of the
best speeches of the day.
Mr. Jas. A. Hollomon, of tho At
lanta Constitution,in seconding Judge
George's nomination “started some
thing" by referring to President Wil
son ns our "peerless leader,” and re
ceived a groat ovation.
United States Senator William J.
Harris made a brief speech in which
ho felicitated Georgia on choosing
Judge George for Senator, thrust
sharply at Governor Hardwick as a
man whom Democratic Senators at
Washington had openly expressed a
wish to see defeated, and lauded
Woodrow Wilson's name as one of
the greatest on the pages of history.
His reference to the former President
was received by the delegates with
the greatest enthusiasm.
Tho convention unanimously adop
ted o resolution endorsing Senator
Harris and his splendid work.
Senator George made a strong ad
dress in accepting the nomination.and
strengthened tho fine impression
which he made during his campaign.
In accepting his nomination, Maj.
McGregor made an nffoctionate ref
erence to the late Senator Watson,
and it was most cordially applauded.
Hon. W. J. Vereen, the retiring
State Chairman, could not be pres
ent on account of illness, but sent to
the new Chairman, Hon. G. E. Mad
dox, a message that he stands roady
to sorvo the Democratic party at any
and all times.
And now let everybody—especial
ly those who voted in the primaries
—turn out and vote next Tuesday
for tho white primary nominees.
KIWANIS CLUB
At tho Kiwanis Club luncheon Fri
day at the Wayside Inn timely tnlks
were made by Cnpt. John Horgan, of
tho Salvation Army, and by Mnj. Ho
mer Watkins on the useful work that
is being done by that great organiza
tion and its pressing needs. Mention
was also made of the fact that some
Polk county girls have been reclaimed
through its agency.
The committee on Building &
Loan Association reported that an
active canvass would be made for an
organization here. Plans of other
cities are being compared, and we
will try to get the best.
Mr. I. L. St. Clair gave an interest
ing account of the state Kiwanis con
vention in Savannah, and—like all
other Kiwanians who attended the
state or national conventions— was
enthusiastic as to the work being
done. He said that the effort inau
gurated by Hon. Chas. Adamson to
have Georgia Kiwanians complete the
Georgia Bay at the Valley Forge Me
morial Building is heartily approved
and will be pressed by the state or
ganization at once.

Needs Help of All Good
People.
One of he worthiest institutions in
the world is the Salvation Army.
Its activities are world-wide, and
many people accordingly get the idea
that it is of no local value, but this is
a great mistake. As a matter of
fact, many Polk county people have
been groatly helped by tho marvelous
organization.
One of the Army’s most beneficent
activities is its work for wayward
girls, and thousands of them all over
tho world—and some of them from
Polk county—have geen rescued
from lives of shame and transformed
into useful womanhood.
Whorevcr there is suffering tho
Salvation Army is nlways ready to
help, and its work is especially a-
mong the humblest. A man may bo
“down" but he is never “out” as long
ns he lives, is tho animating convic
tion of the great organization, and It
is able to extend a helping hand effec
tively when other good influences
cither cannot or do not try to roach
the unfortunate. Its workers do not
draw big salaries, but get only en
ough for their support and are serv
ing for tho love of humanity. Many
of them have been “down” them
selves, and are now showing their ap
preciation of tho Army’s work for
the* by working for it.
li takes money, though, to feed the
hungry, clothe tho naked, and con
duct rescue homes, and it is only by
contributions from the public that the
Army can carry on its work.
The Kiwanis Club proposes to help
in this great work in Cedartown, and
at its last meeting appointed the fol
lowing committee to canvass the city
and county for aid in tho noble effort:
iMr. I. *L. St. Clair, chairman, Maj.
Homer Watkins, Judge J. L. Tison.
Messrs. Wm. Parker, Jr., nnd W. A.
Heldreich.
. Thili is a most worthy cause. Lee
everybody help.

Vote AGAINST “Peach County”
W HAT would you say to a proposal that Georgia be chipped away
to form new states?
Who would dare attempt it?
Georgia, proud member of the original thirteen colonies, in earlier gen
erations gave of her wilderness at the westward that younger states might
be bom. But the times no longer call for sacrifice. And Georgia remains
an empire.
Who would demand that Georgia give again, in order that Jacksonville
might constitute itself the capital of a state of its own? Or Chattanooga
do likewise?
No one would be so foolhardy. UNLESS THERE WERE MONEY IN
IT. Then the Big Lobby that operates around the Capitol fas Atlanta
would cuddle up to the job.
