SUBSCRIPTION RATE
10 SE RAISED JUNE I
After Which Time Tribune-
News Subscribers To Pay
$1.50 a Year.
On June Ist the subscription price
! The Bartow Tribune-The Carters
viile News will be raised to $1.50 per
reai . w ith proportionate increase of
subscription price for periods less than
a year.
However, until June Ist new sub
scriptions and renewals will be ac
cepied at the rate of one dollar per
year, after which time no subscription
will be received at a less rate than
$1.50.
This step has been taken for the
reason that the cost of news material
a;:d all branches of newspaper work
tm- increased to such an extent that
weekly newspapers are absolutely un
.. |.ie to maintain themselves at one dol
lar a year, and the majority of the
weekly newspapers in Georgia have al
ready, during the past year, raised
their subscription price to $1.50. The
Tribune will be among the last papers
in the state to thus increase its sub
scription rate but finds itself absolute
ly unable to longer maintain the rate
it has under conditions which are com
mon to all other lines of business.
This newspaper is now better equip
ped to serve its patrons than ever. It
is the legal organ of the state of Geor
gia, Bartow county, City of Carters
\i,'le and the United States district
court. It has added greatly to its equip
ment in the way of machinery and
type. It will receive and publish more
voluntary news contributions, some of
v hicli has heretofore gone to The
Curtersville News, which is now
merged with The Tribune. It is the
intention to hold on our lists every
subscriber now a patron of this paper
and to add yet more to it during tne
coming months.
The public, however, is informed and
thus put on notice, that payment now
aud until June Ist of one dollar will
secure The Bartow' Tribune-The Car
tersville News for one year, after
which it will cost $1.50. Pay now and
thus save for yourself the fifty per
cent increase which becomes effective
June Ist.

BUSINESS INTERESTS”
SUPPLTjFIELD PEAS
Purchase Car LoadfTo Be
Disposed Of At Cost To
... j.-jsa*
Encourage Planting.
To meet the requirements in a prac
tical way so that peas can be secured
by all for planting, tw'elve strong busi
ness houses of the city have purchased
five hundred bushels of field peas
which are to be disposed of to farmers
at cost, and credit extended, when de
sired, at five per cent interest.
Among the many other scarce things
to be had, and for which a great de
mand exists, is cow peas for their food
value.and for the other purposes, soil
improvement among them, that cow
peas are good for. To meet the call for
i he raising of food stuffs, a great many
farmers have sought to secure peas.
These found that they were hard to
get. In fact, they were almost' out of
the market.
A number of business men realizing
the situation, banded themselves to
gether for the purpose of securing a
large lot of peas and thus the Ameri
can Textile Cos., First National Bank,
Bank of Cartersville, Home Savings
Bank, Knight Mercantile Cos., Lump
kin Hardware Cos., Planters Supply
Cos., J. W. Vaughan & Cos., McGinnis
Warehouse Cos., L. BN Shaw & Sons
Cos., Flemister Grocery Cos., and Car
tersville Grocery Cos., voluntarily ad
vanced the money for a car load lot of
five hundred bushels and agreed to
sell them at $2.85 per bushel, which
is the cost price, either for cash or
approved note bearing five per cent
interest, or to be paid for in peas tbis
fall at market price.
Tt is therefore, now within the reach
of all farmers who desire to sow peas
to secure them at the McGinnis Ware
house in Cartersville upon the terms
stated. The public spirit of the busi
ness houses who have advanced the
money to make this arrangement is to
be commended and their service in
thus contributing aud encouraging the
movement for increased food produc
tion will result in great good to the
county.
Their desire is' that the public be
informed of this movement and in an
other part of this issue will be found
an advertisement, for which no charge
was made by The Tribune, setting
forth the purpose, cost and terms upon
which sale will be made of this food
product.
OUT AGAIN AFTER A
LONG RETIREMENT.
The city commissioners of Carters
ville put into commission this week
the street sprinkler, and its appear
ance upon the downtown streets was
heralded with delight by merchants,
housekeepers and travelers alike.
While the city for several years has
owned a street sprinkler, for some
reason it has not been used for sev
eral summers. There has been an in
creasing demand for its use and public
sentiment is unanimous that our
streets be sprinkled because of its
health value and the saving which is
brought about to merchants from dam
aged goods and to housekeepers from
damaged household furniture from fly
ing dust, growing more of a nuisance
each year through the increased use
of the automobile.
Realizing that the public demand for
the sprinkler is well nigh unanimous,
the commissioners decided to put It to
work

THE SECRET SEVEN
TO BE PERPETUATED.
Henry Granger is now a member of
the “Secret Seven.” He knows it be
cause he paid the price, and every
body else knows it because they saw
him do it.
The Secret Seven is an organization
of mystery which is designed to con
fine its membership to the high school
students of the senior class. Its alliter
ative name, which reminds one Oi the
Seven Sunderland Sisters or Mrs.
Pinkham’s Pink Pills for Pale People,
was agreed upon by the present mem
bers of the senior class who perfected
the parent organization. Being now
about to pass off the stage as members
of the Cartersville High school, but
devoted to the purpose of making out
of this organization an undying and
permanent society, they have recently
started in to initiate their successors,
rnvitation was extended to Henry
Granger, who readily consented to
join.
The public is not supposed to know'
all the vows and pledges which be as

be known to other than the various
“Secret Sevens” that form this organ

ization from year to year; but the pub
lic does know that Mr. Granger wore
upon his back for two days a four-foot
letter S, made out of cardboard, and
bore a banner upon the school grounds,
on the streets and in every public
Place where he appeared, which had
written upon it the inscription: “I am
on my way; follow me.”
In other words, Mr. Granger, true
sport that he is, complied in all re
spects, with the requirements of the
order that he agreed to join and thus
gained, and will continue to hold, the
admiration of those who witnessed
his faithful adherence to his vow to
thus publicly proclaim his membership
in this mysterious and secret order.
Tt took some nerve to do it but he was
neither laughed nor derided out of per
forming it, and thus at once has been
proclaimed a Spartan soldier.
Tt is said that all who join must go
the same way. * 0 that when the public
next see- a banner with seme a'trac
tive inscr’ntiou upon it, by a
h;gh school student who wears upon
his back a large letter 3, he will be
known as one who is religiously ad
hering to f h“ form and requirements
of his on in the Secret Seven.

SOLDIERS IN GAMP
EXPRESS GRATITUDE
Showered With Attention
Gentlemanly Guardians
Have Good Time.
The detachment of soldiers at Camp j
Etowah, guarding the railroad bridge
over the river, have jumped into pop
ular favor, and the many citizens who
are calling upon them and otherwise
showing favors and courtesies have
been delighted to become acquainted
with the personnel of the company.
For the kind things which have been
shown them they have manifested
gratitude and appreciation, and their
gentlemanly conduct in camp and on
visits to the city has made them pop
ular among all.
Their presence here has resulted al
ready in stirring up a patriotic feeling
of interest in our country’s welfare
Rnd the boys at the camp are elated
over the fact that they have just sent
three recruits to Atlanta for enlist
ment, these going directly through the
inspiration and presence of the de
tachment.
Among the diversions which have
contributed toward making th*eir time
pleasant here has been the organiza
tion of a baseball team and an engage
ment with the Cartersville high school
which was w'on by the soldieV boys
tbis week by a score of 14 to 7. The
game was interesting throughout and
much enjoyed by the participants as
well as the spectators. As the season
advances, each club will take on more
proficiency in team work and the ad
vancing season promises several sharp
contests with the local teams, and per
haps others will come to Cartersville
to play.
The soldier boys have handed to
i The Tribune-News for publication tile
following note of thanks as additional
evidence of their gratitude for thing©
done for them thus far:
To The Bartow Tribune-Cartersville
News:
Kindly publish for us a word of grat

CLOSES YEAR’S WORK
Fine Proficiency Shown By
Students And Large
Crowds Attend.
The commencement exercises of
v the Bartow Rural High school at En
harlee this week were largely attend
ed by the public generally and greatly
enjoyed by students and spectators
like.
For want of space, an extended ac
count cannot be given until next week.
The exercises abounded in ametuer
plays, debates, addresses and the read
ing of well prepared themes by the
graduates.
The graduating class consisted of
five students who have satisfactorily
made the course. These were Marvin
Martin, Sam McGowan, Cliff Nelson,
Misses Rubye Hardin and Annie Nel
son.
Chancellor D. C. Barrow, of the llni
\ ( rsity of Georgia, delivered the ad

•‘he large attendance, of sympathy and
interest in its welfare.
RENFROE GARAGE TO
BE GREATLY ENLARGED.
The Renfroe Garage is being thor
oughly remodeled and an additional
story added to accommodate this rap
idly extending business. The building
is owned by Mr. It. S. Munford and to
accommodate his lessee he lias torn
out the walls on twjo sides at the cor
ner so that entrance can be made by
cars from either street. The office will
be in the second story, together with
the repair shop, and the storage room
for cars down stairs where gasoline,
oil and other supplies will be furnished
also. An attractive feature of the im

clude a rest room for women, fitted
and furnished complete. An additional
warehouse space will also be added to
the building where cars can be clean
ed, and in every way convenience and
good arrangement are to be sought.
The improvement adds very greatly
