REACHING OUT FOR
THAT NITRATE PLANT
Committee Goes to Atlanta
To Urge Our Claim,
A Committee of Citizen* from this
city goes to Atlanta Friday to urge
the claims of Carfersvllle for the
goveunent nitrate plant to he
located somewhere in the south,
Thp commission apponted by the
president to take consideration, as
to a proper location is scheduled to
be in Atlanta Friday They will
hear the represeniative of Rome,
Atlanta and Cartersyille,
The engineers that recently made
surveys and eximinationa of the
great Etowah power near here < oqid
not but have been favorably im
pressed with the advantages ihere
and an effort was inspired among
our citizens culminating In the se
lection of a committee to move in
the matter and it is hoped the most
favorable results will follow,
fits to be derived from an automobile
club in Bartow county are many
The work of the state association is
bound to benefit every resident of
this vicinity. In addition to all the
indirect benefits the members of this
association will obtain, through
being affiliated with the state asso
ciation, and the A, A A, each mem
ber, when the club is granted a char
ter will recaive a distinctive radiator
emblem which is recognized on the
road by eyi ry organized motorist, a
copy of the official tourists guide of
Georgia, and the benefits of the sev
eral bureaus which the association
has organized and which will be con
ducted in connection with the local
club, to wit:
The touring bureau for up*to-date
information anywhere in the United
States.
The protective bureau for the re
covery of stolen oars and parts.
"There is one thing that I find a
good many of our motorists ignorant
of," continued Mr. Pennell, "and
that is the amount of our federal ap
propriation and the manner in which
it is to be handled. The Federal aid
money due Georgia from 1910 to 1921
amounts to over $5,000,000 and when
the various countes put up an eqnaf
amount, to meet this goverraent ap
propriation it means s4,ooo,oooactual
money to he spent on Georgia road”
during this five year period. The
succeeding five years it will be
$10,000,000.
“Tbe State Highway department
will welcome our help in every way
possible. Georgia as a state cannot
appropriate a dollar to build roads
Money put up, to match the Federal
aid fund must be apprprioated by
individual countv in which the work
is done. Many counties in Georgia
are unable to raise sufficient money
to build a permanent road through
the county even with the fedral
goverment bearing 50 pier cent of the
cost. They must have help. The
road must be built, and this Hssocia
tion will demonstrate its usefulness
in many ways where such conditions
exist.
“It is np to the automobile owners
dealers and citizens interested on the
welfare of our state to contribute
their mite and influence to remedy
this unsatisfactory condition
“The new $85,000,000 federal aids
road bill was passed aftei years of
tard work by the American Auto
mobile Association. Our state as
sociation is affiliated with this body
aud as we are the tenth state to be
admitted into the Ainericau Auto
raoble Association, it is up to ns to
do our share in furtheiiog the good
work asau appreciation of the A. A.
A. getting a federal appropriation for
us.
“We want 15,000 members iu
Georgia at the yery least by the close
of 1917. with every city and town |n
Georgia well represented with a well
distributed legislative committee, a
state' wide executive committee, a
touring committee, a strong commit
tee on roads and signboards and
various others that will benefit the
work.
The organization meeting of the
local club will lie called in the very
near future for organization, and as
it requires twenty-five or more
names signed to the petition before
the state association can officially
take any action in organizing the
club it i* required that every good
road* avocate, whether car owner br
otherwise, get in touch with Mr.
Pennell at the Park Hotel
Mr. Hiram Hays, of near Adalrs
yille, was a visitor to the city the
eariy part of the week.
CARTERSYILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY MARCH 8, 1917
ANOTHER CREAT PLAY
COMING TO THE Dll
“War Brides,” A High-Class
Costly Production
The most lavishly disposed epi
curean couldn’t afford to have on
the tstile ice cream every day and
evert three times a week would he
extravagant, and so people might be
spoiled in other lines besides that ot
eatables.
If Mr, Gould, of the Dixie, don’t
spoil his patrons if would be because
he doesn't try to give them the be9t
as often or oftener than he can afford
to. If we were in his place we would
soou know what it cost to run a pic
ture show and every play don’t cost
the same by a long sight. Wheu he
gets one of the higher priced he has
to anticdpate an increased receipt to
justisy it. That he doesuf raise the
extra price higher when he gets an
extra priced picture is a thing his
patrons should appreciate. But
when lie gives a two dollar show for
20 cents the people ought to appre
ciate that and that is ip presenting
the great Selznick production "War
Brides’’ for 20 and !u cents for rltis
picture had a four months run in
New York at the price of $2.
Nuziuiova, the great actress is the
etu.r in this film, which will be pre
sented here Wednesday, March 14,
There will be four shows, as follows;
2:30, 4:30, 6:30 and 8:30. Each run
occupies two fiours.
“War Brides” is an intensely dra
matic story, but while it has to do
wif.fi conditions brought about by
war, there are no battle scenes, A
french issuown, and the effect of the
fighting tipoa the troops, but no
battle scene is enacted, Tne xuatn j
story has to do with the sufferings
of the women at home Joan the
young widow, defies the military
authorities, aud urges the young wo
men of the village to refuse, to be
come brides of the departing soldiers.
Sne is Imprisoned, but escapes, and
leads a baud of mourning women to
meet tlie King aud protest against
war. Her own individual message
siie delivers in a most dramatic
manner.
Hebert Brenon has excelled nim
#df in this production. Hi* previous
successes, “Neptune’s daughter,”
“The Soul of Broadway,” “The
Clemenceau Case,” “The Krentzer
Sonata,” aud others, that has won
for him a reputation socond to that
of no other director In the world,
and he stakes bis reputation upon
" War Brides” as his gre&tist work
down to the present.

could to relieve the situation.
Besides mining a u and eoiuuu-i ria 1
