! KILLED BY A
FALL! Hi.
Fatal Accident Which Befell Mr-
James E- Shaw-
WAS GETTING OUTSAW STOCKS
Fellinjr a Large Tree. It Strikes An
otherand Sends a Limb Asralnst
His Skull with Great Force.
Mr. James E. Shaw was killed
by a falling limb last Thursday.
From his home, one mile from
Taylorsville, he had gone five
miles into the woods, where some
hauds were cutting saw stocks for
him on his own land.
While waiting for the reluin of
the hands, who had pone to the
mill with a stock, he proposed to
an old employee of the farm that
had gone with him that they cut
a pine and make some stocks. They
sawed the tree, and it fell, but in
doing so it struck a smaller pine.
In the crushing together of the
timber a limb from the falling tree
was torn loose and thrown by the
swaying backward of the standing
tree with catapult force to the spot
where Mr. Shaw stood. The old
man with him saw the limb, and
cried to Mr. Shaw to “look out."
Ke stood rigid, immovable and
seemingly dazed until the limb
struck him on the left side of the
head. He sank slowly down to
the ground without uttering a
word. His skull was crushed in
several places. He lingered for
two hours. Dr. Adair being called
to his assistance, but never rallied,
and died on an improvised bed in
the woods-
Mr. Shaw was 47 years of age-
He was born and reared in this
countv’, and was all his life known
as"an honorable, energetic and suc
cessful farmer. He leaves a wiie
and seven children, four boys and
three girls.
His funeral took place Saturday,
his remains being interred at Rac
coon church. A large concourse
of people were present at the tu
neral and burial.

MONUMENT FOR BILL ARP.'
#
Editor of Confederate Veteran
Halslng Fund for a Shaft.
It is with peculiar pride and
pleasure that the News and Cour
aut notes the noble work begun by
Mr. S. A. Cunningham, editor ot
the Confederate Veteran, at Nash
ville, of raising a fuud with which
to erect a monument to the late
lamented Maj. Charles H. Smith,
(Bill Arp), of this city.
Mr. Cunningham a long time
warm friend and admirer of Bill
Arp and was one of the mourners
from away at his funeral. Soon
after Maj. Smith’s death Mr.
Cunningham started the movement
and has been successful in getting
quite a list of coiHributions. Only
one dollar is asled from each
fiiend of Bill Arp, and the con
tributions up to the last publication
in the Veteran foot up $87.25.
We notice that the list does not
contain any Cartersville names as
yet. Perhaps this is because there
has been no local movement to help
the fund along, for we are sure it
is only uecessary to call the atten
tion of our people to the matter lo
get offerings. We have no method
to suggest, but merely urge the
fitness, tlie necessity, of help from
the home friends of Maj. Smith, Of
course individual contributions
could be sent to Mr, Cunningham,
but it occurs to us that it would
look better for some of our citizens
to interest themselves and get up a
real nice sum and f< rward all
together. Who will start tne ball
roiling? Remember the shaft will
be erected at the grave in Oak Hill
cemetery.

Rules Governing the Association
in Bartow County Schools
In the office of County School
Commissioner, there was organ
ized Saturday, Feb. 27, 1904, the
Bartow County Oratorical Assocb
■Ation.
Uuder the adopted constitution,
the principal of any school in Bar
tow county, which is under the di
rect supervision of the County
Board of Education, is entitled to
membership.
The object of the association is
the promotion and encouragement
of oratory and elocution.
Each school is entitled to two
contestants —a boy in declamation
and a girl in elocution. A school
may enter either contest or both-
All bona fide pupils of schools
entitled to membership between
the ages ot twelve and eighteen
are elgible as contestants.
All schools desiring to enter
the contest are required to give no
tice of such intention to the presi
dent, W. V. Whittenberg, Kings
ton, Ga. at least two days before
the time appointed for said contest
Judges will be selected who are
not related to any contestant, who
do not live in a community in
in interested school is located, and
who are otherwise qualified- Ev
ery precaution conducive to fair
ness will be taken.
No speech must exceed fifteen
minutes in length. Two honors
will be awarded as trophies to the
successful candidates,—-one to the
boy who makes the best declama
tion and the other to the girl ma
king the best show in elocutioa.
The firt contest will be held at
Cass Station, April Ist, beginning
at 7:30 p. m.
We trust that each elgible school
in the countv will enter the con
test. We know of nothing that
needs encouragement more in uur
day than the ait of public speak
ing.
Let us all unite to revive inter
est in oratory and elocution in
our own county, at least.
Vkrner Vincent,
Secretary.
Tragedy Averted.
“'Just in the nick of time our
little boy was saved,” writes Mrs.
W. Watkins, of Pleasant City,
Ohio. ‘'Pneumonia had played
sad havoc with him, and a terrible
cough set in besides. Doctors
treated him, but he grew worse
every day. At length we tried Dr.
King’s New Discovery for Con
sumption, and our darling was
saved. He’s now sound and well.’
Everybody ought to know; it’s the
