COLOIIED BAPTISE
IN PEniT'S CREEK.
Rev. N. T. Thompson Im
merses 87 Candidates.
About a thousand people, black
and white, attended a big baptising
in Pettit’s Creek last Sunday.
The baptising place was an eddy
pool in the creek just below the W.
& A. trestle across the creek.
The candidates were all new ad
ditions to Mount Zion Baptist church
the fruits of a protracted meeting
going on there for the past three or
four weeks under the direction of
the pastor, Rey. N. T. Thompson.
There were eighty-seven of the
candidates and they wore white
robes, in which they were dipped.
Rey. Thompson did the baptising,
assisted by Rev. Henry Johnson and
Ed Belli.
One of the ideas in doing the bap
tising seemed to be to see how many
could be put under in a given time,
and thus the whole number were
baptised in a little over two hours.
Everv occasion has its ludicrous
feature, no matter how sacred, and
this was furnished in the evolutions
of a fat sister as she rolled pellmell
down the railroad bank. A lot of
darkies were sitting along the track,
lining it from well on the dirt bank
out on to the trestle, when some one
m'schievously shouted, "The train is
coming!” Thinking of safety and not
looking, the sister moved about for
escape, lost her balance and went
down into the crowd below hoop
fashion and very much to the -popu
lar discontent.
An accident occurred, that of two
young white boys falling from a wil
low tree into the creek over which it
extended, one of the little follows
heing very badly hurt.
Rev. Thompson expresses his ap
preciation of the presence of so many
white ptople. He seems to be con*
secrated and zealous and popular
among his race.
VOU HUNT IN A
. FALL FROM TREE
Master Frank Daniel Sus
tains Painful Injuries.
-
Frank Danial, tEte twelve year old
son of Mr, Frank Daniel, Sr., fell
from a tree at the colored baptising
at Pettit/s creek last Sunday and
sustained painful, and if was first
thought, serious injuries.
Frank clmied a large willow, over
hanging the creek, that- he might
get a good view of the baptising.
The limb on which he sat broke and
befell. His body went against an
other limb lower down, his first mil
being about fifteen feet. Tne limb
struck him on his back and across
his neck. He fell another five feet
into the wafer. There he struck a
jagged piece of an old bath tub that
had been throvvu in the water After
this the youth swam to the hank.
Here he fell on the ground in a faint.
He was carried to his home, where
he got attention ar the hands of Dr.
Fellow. HisJ spine was badly injur
ed and his neck also. At last ac
counts, however, he wis doing well.
To Miss Neel.
Miss Isa Neel, of Cartersville,
was the honor guest at a rook
party at which Mrs. Paul Jones
was hostess Wednesday evening
at her home on Cburth Street.
The pretty bungalow was very
inviting with its decorations of
autumn flowers and glowing lights.
The tables were arranged in the
parlor and on the ponh, A. dain
ty ice course was served at the
conclusion of the game.
Those invited to meet the guest
of honor were: Misses Telete

Work began last week on tearing
down the old Bartow Hard ware Com
pany wooden building and the brick
store house of Frank E. Matthews
on East Main street which are to
give way to a handsome brick build
ing two stories hign. These build*
ings are the property of Mr. W. C.
Walton and with the assistance of
the Cartersville Building & Loan As*
sociation Mr. Walton is going to
erect on this site a building which
will be a credit to Cartersville and
Bartow county.
On the ground floor it is planned
to have three store rooms: two large
and one small one with a nice stairs
was cut in on the end leading to the
upper story. One of the stores will
be occupied bv Mr. Frank E. Mats
thews, the well known grocer, and
while no deal has been closed as yet
for the other two stores, there are
several prospects in view and there
will be no troub e in securing desirs
able tenants.
The second story has not yet been
rented but the Masonic lodge has
been mentioned as being the probn
ble tenant, altho this has not as yet
deoided upon.
Mr. J. E, Hall, the well known
contractor and builder, is superin
tending the erection of the building
and in him they have secured one of
the best posted men in the building
line. The building will probally be
completed in about sixty or ninety
days.
ED HARUNG AN
ATLANTA CANDIDATE
Former Bartowue Offers
For Office Of Alderman.
Mr. E. L. Hurling is a candidate
for alderman from the third ward in
Atlanta in the coming city election
that ocfeurs September 30th. He aim
nounces as his pletform, “Not hot
air, but work.’’ Ed is well capaci
tated to carry out a program of that
sort, for he is one of those kind of
men that ‘‘does things ” He will
make Atlanta a cracking good aider
man if elected and her every interest
will be safe in his hands.
Ed Harling is an old Bartow coun
ty boy that has made good in Atlan
ta. He had his first business exper
ience as what is called in vulgar par
lance by some, a “counter jumper”
in this city. That kind of a job was
too slow for Ed and he went to the
big city and joined the army of real
estate men beating the brush for
business, some with success, others
otherwise. He has held his hand
with the rest right along and really
forged to the front in his calling.
Here’s a hearty good wish for you
old boy, from your Bartow friends,
and mav you win out in a canter.
Cotton Should Bring
Twelve Cents.
The Progressive Farmer of Ral
eigh gives the following facts.
There is nothing else half so im
portant for Southern prosperity
rieht now as a fair price for our 1915
cotton crop.
If a 17,000,000 bale cottou crop
was selling for ten cents at planting
time last spriug, what prices will
not a 10,000,000 or 12,000,000 bale
crop reach before another planting
season? Here is the situation in a
jut shell:
1 The supreme need now is for
our farmers to hold for better prices.
2, The one thing that will make
them hold is a realization of THE
FACTS WHICH JUSTIFY HOLD
ING.
3 The one way for them to learn
these facts is through the press of
the south.
Cotton, eyen though the new crop
of 1915 has started coming on the
market, is still selling on the basis
of prices fixed by last year’s 17,000,-
000 bale crop.
5. These prices must soon be ad
justed, however, to fit the conditions
of a 12.000,000, bale crop (or proba
bly only a 10.000,000 or 11.000,000 bale
crop), and this adjusted price ought
at the very least to reach 12 cents a
pound for middling.

CLARENCE COLEMAN
IS QUITE ILL NOW.
Deserving Darkey Attacked
and Detained From Work.
Clarence Coleman, the well known
porter at the W. Si A. railroad de*
pot in this city received a stroke of
paralysis last Sunday morning while
attending a sunrise prayer meeting
at his church on Summers Hill. He
is in a very critical condition at his
home and grave fears have been en
tertained for his recovery.
In writing up this darkey, it
might be quite interesting to recall
some of his life history. To begin
with he has seen active service! of
about twenty*flve years with the
agency of the W. & A., having been
a faithful and trusted employee aDd
numbers his friends among the
white people as well as among the
colored. He has served as truckman
and porter and he will be greatly
missed by the local agency. He is a
polite and humble negro and has
passed the 59th mile post in his jour
ney through life and unfortunately
it finds Clarence in rather destitute
circumstances, not through any
fault of his for he has been a thrifty
and energetic d.irkey but lias had a
great deal of trouble through his
life which he had to shoulder and
carry which strained his financial re
sources in helping others out of trou
ble. Had he riot have done this he
probally would have been pretty
comfortably fixed, but he sacrificed
that he might help others.
Clarence is being given medical at
tention by Dr. A. B. Greene and the
colored physician. Dr. Moore. Agent
Wofford has called to see him sever
al times during illuess and is endeav
oring to help him in every way pos
ible. While no appeal to charity is
E>eing made, vet if any one should
care to donate to this veteran darky
it will be greatly appreciated by
Clarence.
