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.

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 |bcr of representatives from all the oth- 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.

Inc. Buffalo. N. Y. K - H A N DV—CASTING 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: Literary. Declamation medal for class under fourteen was won by-Mary Park\ Ken nedy, representing Stilesboro school. Medal for class over fourteen was won by Ruth Auchmutey, representing Stilesboro school. Atco school made the highest per centage according to the state grading sheet, making 95 1-2 per cent. Bartow Rural High school making 95 per cent was the next highest. Beatrice Payne, from Stoner school was awarded first honor. Ora Heath, from Oak Dale school, second honor. Useful Arts and Trades, Wood Work. Stoner school was awarded the high est mark for w-ood work. Bartow Rural High, second. Sewing. Kingston school won the first prize in sewing.

Pole vault —winner, Alton Trippe, ; Taylorsville school. Broad jump—winner,* Alton Trippe, Taylorsville school. High jump—winner, Walter Kenne dy, Taylorsville school and Grover ! Teems, Cassville school. Relay race —200 yards, 4 boys—Tay- I lorsville school. Events for Boys over 14. 100 yard dash —winner, Frank Grif fin, Cassville school. Pole vault —winners, Walter Trippe Bartow Rural High school, and Hugh THE BARTOW TRIBUNE-THE CARTERSVILLE NEWS, APRIL 26, 1917, Gi eer, Cassville school. High jump—winners, Bailey, Bartow- Rural High school, and William Gas ton, Taylorsville. Running broad jump—winner, Frank Griffin, Cassville school, 18 feet 2 inohes. The following schools scored the highest points in the following: Cassville school —attendance, 12 per cent; exhibit, 32 per cent; sewing, 4 per cent; field sports, 8 per cent; to tal 56 per cent. Casa Station school —attendance, 11 per cent; exhibit, 33 1-2 per cent; to tal, 44 1-2 per cent. Bartow Rural High school —attend- ance, 13 per cent; exhibit, 32 1-2 per cent; wood work, 4 per cent; sewing, 2 per cent; field sports, 2 per cent; total, 53 1-2 per cent. Kingston school —exhibit, 31 i>er cent; wood work, 2 per cent; sewing, 5 per cent; total, 38 per cent. Stilesboro school —attendance, 11 per cent; exhibit, 27 per cent; sewing, 1 per cent; declamation, 4 per cent; total, 43 per cent. Stoner school —attendance, 14 per cent; exhibit 34 per cent; wood work 5 per cent; total 53 per cent. 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. PROLIFIC SEED CORN—Premium at Bartow and Floyd 'County Fairs — $3.50 a bushel. W. D.

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. Legal Adiertisements. SHERIFF'S SALES.
