T HE BARTOW TRIBUNE
HIM CREDIT BANK
FORMALLY LAUNCHED
Officers Chosen And Mon
ey At Five*Per Cent In
Prospect.
At a meeting called by C. C. Pittman,
the temporary organization of a Nat
ional Farm Loan Association for Bar
tow county farmers, met last Tuesday
and permanently organized, elected of
ficers, adopting by-laws and selecting
a name for the association to be known
as Cartersville National Farm Loan
Association.
The following directors were elected
by the association: T. S. Hawkins, R.
A. Milner, J. C. Fink, W. D. Davidson
and W. W. Galaway and in turn the e
directors elected T. S. Hawkins, presi- j
dent; R. A. Milner, vice-president: L. i
W. McKelvy, W. M. Carlisle and W. W. i
Calaway, appraisers and C. C. Pittman
secretary-treasurer.
Out of the farmers present, fifteen
applied for loans through this associa
tion and since the time of meeting
several others have signed applica
tions for loans, bringing the total
amount applied for up to $35,000. Other
farmers desiring to borrow money
through this association will see Mr.
Pittman at once, as the appraisers eon
templatae visiting every applicant’s
farm in the next few days.
"When the appraisers have made
their reports, the federal government
will send an appraiser to inspect each
farm and confirm or reject the apprais
ment made by the local appraisers.
After government inspection is made
the granting of a charter is next in
order and the funds applied for will be
forthcoming soon thereafter.
It is now practically assured that
the interest rate on these loans will be
5 per cent per annum and it is being
advised by the Farm Loan Rank of
Columbia that the time of the loans
applied for shall be 56 years, since it
is figured that an additional 1 per cent
interest payment over this period, will
pay off the loan. In other words, by
paying 6 per cent interest on the
amount borrowed for 36 years, the
principal amount is paid off. The time
limit is from 5 to 40 years, with the
privilege of paying the whole amount
at any interest bearing date, after 5
years, and 36 years is suggested as a
standard period as it simplifies calcu
lations.
Under the old system of borrowing
money our farmers have been paying
8 per cent interest, beside an addi
tional amount to an agent for secur
ing their loans. Under the government
system a 6 per cent rate will not only
pay the interest, but will pay the prin
cipal also, and there are no commis
sions to be paid fn>- the securing of
the loan. Most of the work necessary
to the organization and continuation
of the Cartersville Association falls
open the secretary-treasurer, and it
seems tha L the source of his compen
sation will be in providing abstracts
ot title to the farms of the members
of the association, it being agreed by
all members present that every officer
should inter heartily into a plan of
strict economic co-operation, until the
associataion is thoroughly in opera
tion.
It is gratifying that Bartow county
is to have such an organization as this
and believed that it will introduce a
new financial system that will not only
bo of ine-timiable value to the farmer,
but will benefit every class of busi
ness that is touched by the farmers’
interest and prosperity.

NAVY DEPARTMENT
CALLS FOR 1200 MEN.
The following telegram has been re
ceived at the U. S. Naval Recruiting
Station, 514 P. O. Building, Atlanta,
Ga., from the Naval Department:
“Thirty-eight thousand, five hundred
additional men are needed immediate
ly to fill Navy’s emergency comple
ment. A quota of twelve hundred has
been assigned to this station to be
supplied by April twentieth.”
The naval service offers great ad
vantages to any young man who enters
it in that he is fed and clothed, well
paid and given opiiortunities of travel
which will furnish him with the best
education obtainable. In these times
when our country needs the services
cf citizens upon its battleships and
other departments both .patriotism
and individual opportunity are emerg
ed in this cause by our government,
and it is hoped that on April 20th that
the twelve hundred men needed at the
Atlanta station will have been secured
and more than that- will offer their
services and that Bartow county will
come up with its traditional history in
such emergencies and repeat what it
lias done in times before when our
country calls for men

NEW CITY HALL
COMPLETED SOON
Will Be Ready For Occu
pancy With in F our
Weeks.
Within from four to six weeks time
Cartersville s new city hull will be a
completed structure and the contrac
tor, Mr. E. W. Smith, expects to be
able to permit occupancy of the build
ing by the first of May.
x lie bad weather has delayed the
ysv.iK on this building very materially
and even now as keeping the workmen
from lay r ing a concrete foundation for
a tile floor with which the building is
li. lie Burnished. The fixtures are pret
ty well in place and the interior pre
sents .a very attractive view even now
tc those passing through. The.doors
are being hung and moulding and
wainscoting put on, and with the erec
tion of a staircase from the first to
the second story and the tile floor laid,
the building would stand inspection
now.
Commodious quarters are given each
department of the city government !
and these will be furnished in keeping
with the character of the building. On
the first floor the city clerk and treas
urer, of course, will have his office,
as will the mayor, fire department and
other officers to be designated. The
commissioners’ chamber in the second
story where the public meetings will
be held is an attractive room in the
front part of, the building. A railing
separates the commissioners them
selves from the spectators and public.
Seats will be arranged here so specta
tors and those having business to
bring before the regular meetings will
he comfortably accommodated.
The lighting fixtures throughout the
building are being installed and when
completed the entire structure finished
and furnished will cost approximately
$20,01)0. It will then be a building in
which the city can take pride and will
equal, if not excel, any building of like
character in any city of like size.
The contractors and workmen are
exercising every energy to make a
turn over job of the proposition within
the next five or six weeks and within
a weak’s time the debris about the
building will be moved so that the pub
lic can get a general view of the archi
tectural and general lines of the build
ing.
PEXALL STORES MAY BECOME
RECRUITING STATIONS.
With an organization embracing
seven thousand stores throughout the
United States, the United Drug Com
pany, popularly known as the Rexall
Company, has tendered to Secretary
ci War Baker the use of these stores
throughout the United States as re
el uiting stations. These stores are lo
cated In 5,969 towns and cities and are
in every stat"' and territory of the
United States. It is, therefore, made
possible to reach immediately all of
these stores and arrange for the open
ing of enlistment bureaus therein.
If the government sees fit to accept
the proposal made, the Rexall store
here, conducted by Mr. M. F. Word,
would be a recruiting or enlistment
station, and those who contemplate
volunteering their services to the gov
ernment will very probably have an
opportunity to do so as soon as the
government finally acts upon the ten
der made by the United Drug Com
pany of their stores throughout the
country.
The offer made by this great remedy
company is patriotic and generous,
and both with reference to its inten
tion and its actual usefulness will ren
der valuable service to the country in
that its organization is very extensive
and the stores well conducted and cen
trally located in each community.

Id WITH GERMANY
SEEMS HOW CERTAIN
Congress Passes Resolu
tion Declaring State Of
War Exists.
The resolution declaring that a state
of war existed between the United
States and Germany passed the United
States Senate Wednesday night by a
vete of 82 for to 6 against. The resolu
tion now goes to the house of repre
sentatives and will likely be passed
Thursday.
Senator LaFollette spoke for three
hours against the resolution but only
succeeded in bringing down upon his
own head the fiercest of denunciation
Lorn senators favoring it and Senaior
V illiams of Mississippi was particu
larly scathing in his criticism of the
Wisconsin senator.
After its passage by the house Pres
ident Wilson will have received the
authority necessary to enable him to
bring tile nation to arms and from now
the most, active preparations will be
made for financing the nation, mobil
izing troops, increasing the-national
guard and army by enlistments and
making war on the sea.
A tremendous amount of supplies
will have to be purchased and the na
tion will at once throw itself ui>on the
side of the allied European nations in
humbling the German government.
It is believed that 2,000,000 can be
made ready for training for military
service. The president will he the com
mander in chief, under the constitu
tion of the United States, and detailed
p’ans have been worked out by army
officers for'bringing into being such an
a'-my.
Contracts for 200 submarine chasers
ir. believed to have been entered into
by the navy department, while the
coast patrol will be greatly increased.
Indication® i>otnt to an intention to
build up a fighting machine composed
exclusively of men in their twenties
I and each man free from home respon
| sibilities. A perfect military plan Is to
I be submitted and must be adopted if
we are effective is the statement of
army officers.
Registration of all single men be
tween the fixed ages will be a big task.
To expediate this the co-operation of
the state and municijial authorities will
be sought. Probably workers in trades
and pursuits whose continued labor Is
needed to keep the country supplied
with needed products will not be call
ed upon, even it otherwise equipped.
The news of the government’s de
termination found a ready and sympa
thetic response in Bartow county and
the men will be found to be patriotic
volunteers' in the service. On every
side can be seen American flags and
the national spirit of the people was
never more manifest.
DAVE VAUGHAN SUFFERS
AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT.
Mr. Dave Vaughan met with a pecu
liar accident last Thursday from which
he suffered a broken leg and wrenched
hip. Mr. Vaughan had driven in a car
to Canton and was returning over a
somewhat rough road and down a
grade and at this particular time at a
point in the road upon the sides of
w'hich were embankments the car was
stripped, and a root of a tree or some
obstruction extending from the bank
struck Mr. Vaughan's leg at a time
when he was examining a broken gear
rod. In striking the obstruction his leg
v as thrown against the car and mad©
fast when the root passed on and
broke his leg.
Mr. Vaughan was brought to his
home and his injury attended by Dr.
W. B. Vaughan and Dr. R. E. Wilson,
o' White, who made a successful set
t ’ng of the limb and he is now making
progress and is as comfortable as
could be expected under the circum
stances.
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
WORK OFF MANY MATTERS.
The board of county commissioners
met in regular session at the court
house Wednesday and during the day
transacted a good deal of business of
a routine nature. The wardens made
their reports and some road building
progress is being made. Camp Xo. 1,
of which Mr. J. B. Jenkins is warden,
is engaged in finishing up the road on
the underpass. A great many bills
were audited and the board late in the
afternoon adjourned.
