BRINES HUNDREDS HERE FOR HAY
Interesting Contests End In Close Decisions
And An Inspiring Parade Arouses
Great Enthusiasm.
The commencement exercises of the
I utnv schools, together with the var
i(, j3 events and contests which were
hdd during the day were successfully
conducted at Cartersville last Friday,
)U , (ije attendance of teachers and
scholars, as well as the presence of
I ,rents. patrons and school spirit, was
I i; that could be desired and was grat-
I '.'.v/ to the school authorities and
I taking an active interest in pub
■ lit education.
Ear Friday morning automobiles
I |ua j e( ] with children and their parents
I , ](1 teachers begun to arrive from the
schools, while the trains
■ nought their buiden of happy faces
|, llid bright boys and girls, everyone of
|‘ vhom became equipped with the col
| ve veils, songs and enthusiasm.
These were sufficient in themselves
cause Cartersville to not only sit
, uni take notice but to he possessed
l v , i the same enthusiasm and inter-
I iu i inasmuch as each school bore
■[,, evidence of their patriotic interest
K, the country at this time and in one
Knn and another carried the red,
K hit e and blue, the proceedings
■ ) .oughout the day strongly took on
K, :orm of a patriotic rally. Every
8,,. appeared to look as if he were
K illing to be a soldier and the girls a
to cheer and to do what else
Kec was to be done. The large su
perior court room at the court house
Has literally packed with the children
H; the various schools and spectators,
P’i:,u g which number was a larger per
centage of the population of Carters-
Hille than was ever before recorded
, I Superintendent Jackson for a long
permitted the various schools to
in demonstrative cheers and
■ells and the singing of songs, many
which were original and prepared
the occasion.
I Band Arrives.
KI.V' m ibis time (the Fifth Regiment
of Atlanta, arrived in Carters-
and inarched to the court house
aaids. The appearance of this band
in drawing to the court
■>iis.‘ everyone who had not yet gain-
admittance, so that for a time the
Ewart house appeared to contain the
Mbpulation .of the county. Upon the
gaining admittance to the court
and a space being accorded it,
proceeded to render patriotic
and when The Star Spangled Ban
■;s was played every child and specta
■ t#r arose to his feet, waved whatever
■hi had to wave and cheered to the
I c< to.
■ ■Sun.-rintendem Jackson then an-:
itsbuneed that certain contests would
■ held in the jury room, which drew
*on! of each school some one, two or
■tb i ■ contestants who were to match
Bi' knowledge against the same num

schools. In the meantime, the rest
children proceeded to make mer-
and to give vent to their animal
■'h- by various manifestations of
■BhJnoss and cheer.
I The Parade.

was busy at lunch and all seemed to
have been satisfied with the good
things which wer.e served to eat.
Field Day Sports.
At 2:30 the field day sports were
begun. In the meantime, the grand
stand had filled up with spectators from
all over the county and the girls of the
various schools, as well as with many
boys who were not participants as ath
letes. Each school cheered his mara
thon leader to the echo and the records
that were made were due in large part
tc the consciousness that the contend
er had that his skill was to be tried
for his school, and that representing
the school were those whose spirit,
good wishes and enthusiastic backing
were with him. After all was over, it
was found that each school in the
ounty had made splendid records.
In the very nature of things some
body had to be acclaimed winner but.
in many instances the judges were
much put to it to decide the contests
in literature. In more than one athle
tic event there were ties which could
never he broken, thus showing a de
velopment which was well night per
fect.
After the day was thus finished at
the grounds, nearly every child in the
county visited the Dixie Theatre where
v as shown educational pictures of in
terest, plays of tested value and coriie
dies which were put on for the pur
pose of pleasing and amusing the chil
dren.
The happy faces of the visitors
throughout the day gave incontroverti
ble evidence of a day well spent, one
in which there was full and complete
entertainment and one which will be
long remembered, both by the chil
dren as well as those who caught the
inspiration of their presence to ex
tend hospitality, courtesy and social
attention.
A summary of the result of the con
tests is as follows:

fourteen was won by-Mary Park\ Ken
nedy, representing Stilesboro school.

Taylorsville school —attendance, 7
per cent; exhibit, 26 per cent; sewing.
3 per cent; field sports, 10 per cent:
total, 46 per cent.
A feature of the athletic events was
the victory of the Taylorsville school
for boys under 14 and this was largely
due to Alton Trippe, the young son of
Oscar Trippe, of Taylorsivlle, ably
seconded Jjy Walter Kennedy, son of
J W. Kennedy, these two boys win
ning the one hundred yard dash, pole
vault, broad jump, high jump and relay
race; the high jump, however, being
a tie between Walter Kennedy, of Tay
lorsville, and Grover Teems, of the
Cassville school.
In the athletic events for boys over i
14; Walter Trippe, son of Hon. W. D. j
Trippe, of Taylorsville, won the dis- j
tinction of having tied the pole vault j
with Hugh Greer, of Cassville, lately
winner of this event over the Seventh
District high schools at Dalton.
Another feature of the athletic
events was the athletic form displayed
by Frank Griffin of the Cassville school,
who won the one hundred yard dash,
running broad jump, and participating
in winning the relay race for the Cass
ville school. In these events also Tay
lorsville showed its athletic skill by
tying Bailey, of the Bartow Rural High
school, for the first prize for high
jump.
A study of the records made will dis
close the fact that had some cf the
schools the opportunity and equipment
for pursuing field sports, it would
have very greatly raised their records.
As an instance of this, the Cassville
school was the winner over Stoner
only through the addition of a number
of points gained by it in field sports.
The Bartow Rural High school made a
record of 53 1-2 per cent, only two per
cent of which was acquired by reason
o>: its field sports. The Stoner school
could claim no points at all by virtue
of athletics and yet made a grand total
of 53 per cent.

CALOMEL DYNAMITES
A SLUGGISH LIVER
Crashes Into Sour Bile, Making You
Sick and You Lose a Day’s Work.
Calomel salivates! It’s mercury.
Calomel acts like dynamite on a
sluggish liver. When calomel comes
into contact with sour bile it crash
es into it, causing cramping and
nausea.
if you feel bilious, headachy, con
stipated and all knocked out, just go
to your druggist and get a 50 cent
bottle of Dodson’s Liver Tone,
which is a harmless vegetable sub
stitute for dangerous calomel. Take
a spoonful and if it doesn’t start
your liver and straighten you up
better and quicker than nasty cal
omel and without making you sick,
you just go back and get your
money. /
If you take calomel today you’ll
be sick and nauseated tomorrow;
besides, it may salivate you, while
if you take Dodson’s Livef Tone you
will wake up feeling great, full of
ambition and ready for work or play.
It’s harmless, pleasant and safe to
give to children; they like it.

ents making it better than ordinary Cas
cara, and thus the combination acts not
only as a stimulating laxative and cathar
tic but also as a digestive and liver tonic.

combines strength with palatable, aro
matic taste and does not gripe or disturb
the stomach. One bottle will prove
