THE BARTOW TRIBUNE
TRIBUNE VOL 7, NO. 15>
ORGANIZE COUNCIL
10 MARKEiPRODUCTS
Citizens To Aid In Produc
ing And Marketing Food
Stuffs. , ;
l
\
At the court house on Monday morn
ing an important meeting of farmers j
over the county was held for the pur- j
pose of forming a Food Products
Council which will become part of the
State Council of Food Production and
Conservation. It will be remembered
that Mr. E. E. Adair and Dr. J. P.
Bowdoin, of Adairsville, were appoint
ed by Governor Harris to organize
the county council and to promote the
purposes of the organization.
Thereupon these two gentlemen
sent out notices of the meeting Mon
day which was addressed by Dr.
Keesc, out of the department of agri
culture at Atlanta.
Dr. Keese made a speech to the
meeting setting forth the great need
for universal work in all lines in order
tc bring about the maximum of pro
duction throughout the country of
food stuffs, minerals and manufactur
ed articles. This he covered in great
detail and to the great information ol
those present. He stressed the impor
tance of increasing market facilities*
and said that this feature was at this
time perhaps the most important ire
cause it .had not been completely for
mulated within many counties and
within a short space of time it will be
found to be a great aid, not only to
the farmers themselves but to the oth
er business interests.
Dr. Keese theu suggested that the
meetitfg, resolve itself Into an organ
ized body, and thereupon W. A. Dodd
was made permanent chairman, W. H.
Lumpkin secretary, and C- H. Cox as
sistant secretary. These officers were
authorized by a resolution to form a
council in each of the civil districts
.of the county and in all respects make
out of it an effeciive, serviceable or
ganization.,
CITY AND COUNTY OFFICERS
CAPTURE NEGRO THIEF.
Chief of Police W. E. Puckett, aid
ed by Deputy Sheriff T. J. Price, ar
rested Will Adams, a negro charged
with breaking into the store of Lump
kin Hardware Company a few days
ago. Going to Adams’ home, the offic
ers found in a suit case three pistols,
two razors, ten pocket knives,-brushes
used with pistols, two bottles of oil,
two boxes of cartridges. One of the
pistols was a gold mounted pearl han
dled gun. It seems that the clue which
led up to Adams’ capture was a knife
which he pawned to a negro, and upon
the officers finding out how the latter
became possessed of the knife, they
became suspicious. The Lumpkin
Hardware Company identified all the
property as rfTeir own and Adams will
necessarily have some burdens and
suspicious circumstances to overcome
before he can regain his liberty.
BLIND TIGER CAUGHT
WITH THE GOODS.
-Deputy Sheriffs T. J. Price and R.
A Hicks arrested S. M. Brown at
Douhitt .bridge on Tuesday night, who
vas found to have three one-gallon
jugs, one quart bottle and one pint
bottle of whisky under the buggy seat
which he was using. Brown is charged
with the offense of selling whisky and
having in his possession more than is
permitted by law and is, therefore,
subject to trial for these offeness.
Deputies Price and Hicks also con
fiscated the mule and buggy as well
as the liquor and Brown was placed
ii; jail to await trial.
the other war fronts and battle
grounds affected
The visiting speakers thrilled the
audience with their earnestness and
forecful addresses, and it is believed
that they themselves were encouraged
by the warm and hospitable reception
and enthusiastic response which they
met with in Cartersville.
After the splendid speeches that
were made, Chairman Calhoun thank
ed the visiting speakers and the au
dience for the splendid start given the
Cartersvill§ Chapter.
Thereupon the meeting adjourned,
each feeling that It was an evening
well spent and in which each had con
tributed a service.

CARTERSVILLE, GA., JUNE 7, 1917
RESPOND NOBLY 10
GALL OF COUNTRY
Bartow County Young
Men Place Their Names
On List.
Without any shov of objection from
any part of Bartow county th 3 young
of the county on Tuesday
came forward to the voting preempts
in ihe various districts and reg’sterec.
theii names, occupation, residence and
age .'.id answered such other r,;ius
pons iequired by the government for
the purpose of ascertaining their elig
ibility for military duty in the present
war w.*h Germany. It was a spum-lld
exhibition of 'loyalty, a perfect per
formance of duty. Nowhere iu the
United States could there have been
any greater whole heartednes3 shown
by men.
Promptly at seven o’clock the regis
trat en officers selected by Sheriff Cal
away, Judge Hendricks and Clerk Wal
ton, opened the registration and im
mediately young men advanced to
have their names enrolled. This pro
ceeded throughout the day but ihe
great majority registered during t'.a
morning hours and thus was shown
no purpose to Turk or to postpone
meeting the cbl'gatiou of citizenship,
o'en though it resvh* mean an early
call to the front.
In Cartersviile litre was no
bration cf the event. Men went for
ward tc meet their duty as citizens in
pretty imrh tlio same way they would
meet any; other problem of life. There
was no excitement. The court house
had been draped in the American col
ors, the star spangled banner was
hung over the front and side entrance
to the building and just above the
door leading into the sheriff’s office
where the registration officers took
down the names and furnished a card
to each enrolled citizen, was no
purpose to claim exemption from ser
vice on the part ot any except where
j such claim was based on the best of
j i- nsons.
if any one failed to appear he was
not known to any officer and it is be
lieved that practically every ma.i of
the age required came to the voting
precinct and had his name recorded
throughout the county.
On Wednesday the registration of
ficers sent in their returns to Sheriff
Calaway and the following was found
to be the number of eligibles from
each district;
District white al’s,
Allatoona 80
Adairsville 160 44 ..
Atco 84 8
Cartersviile 409 240 5
Cassvllle 112 27
Emerson 64 42
Euharlee *. • 56 19
Folsom, (6th) 72 1
Iron Hill 45 8
Kingston 93 44
Lin wood 35 4
Pine Log 95 19 ..

Stamj). Creek 37
Salacoa 12 ..
Taylorsville v .... 90 19
White 32 10 ..j
Wolf Pen . 18 ..
1,564 510 5
Thus it will be seen that Bartow
county will report 2,079 names, who,
as to age, are eligible for military ser
vice and this comes practically within
the government’s estimate and hence
will be a satisfactory return
More Time Given.
SheritTe Calaway has just received
the following instructions from Pro
\ ost Marshal General Crowder, of the
United States army, giving those who
failed to register on June sth or who
failed to have their cards sent In
where they were away from home a
few days’ time before federal action
vkill be taken against all those who
failed to register:
. ‘ Attention is invited to paragraph
forty of the Regulations which con
templates the of persons
who for any reason shall not
been registered on Registration Da?
While scrutiny should be made of each
case to determine whether punithe
action is required it is desired for the
next few days to pursue a liberal pol
icy in this regard in order that the
registration may be made complete at
the earliest possible moment. Non
residents may also continue to regis-
OLD GLORV RAISED
AT TAYLORSVILLE
Beautiful Flag Unfurled In
Presence of Hundreds
Of Citizens.
At Taylorsville Tuesday afternoon
an American flag \v.as raised and ap
propriate exercises were held in com
memoration of the event. A large num
ber was present and speeches and
songs were listened to by those pres
ent.
This patriotic demonstration had its
beginning only a few days before
when a number of citizens concluded
that it would be helpful and a show
of the proper spirit to raise a flag on
the day when the young men were
registering and enrolling their names
for the army. The suggestion was read
ily accepted on all sides and a beauti
ful flag secured in Atlanta.
The flag pole was erected in front
if Kennedy’s store and can be easily
seen from all parts of the town. The
men and women, as well as boys and
girls, added to the spirit of the occas*-
ion and a number of visitors manifest
ed their interest by attending.
The program consisted in the sing
ing of “America,” “Columbia" and
“The Star Spangled Banner,” an ad-
dress by Hon. J. K. Davis, of Cedar
town, who gracefully acted as master
of ceremonies, and an address by O.
TANARUS, Peeples, of Cartersviile, after which
the flag was raised by Miss Marylu
Kennedy, previous to which a pledge
to the flag was recited by all present
“at saiute.” When the Hag was lifted
to the top of the mast it unfurled it
self and gracefully floated out in line
with a breeze that carried its colors
before rn audience that cheered to tho
echo
Kirs Walter Kennedy then read ;•
beautiful panegyric entitled “The
Ameriua-r Flag” ;nd the exetc. >.v
closed.
Taylorsville has thus set the exam
pie which all towns in the county will
likely follow and which will do much
toward instilling a healthy and p.G ;-
ntie nat onal spirit
THE ASSOCIATION OF CHARITIES.
i " at M
This week the Association of Char
Hies is beginning the campaign fqr
members and it is the very earnest
desire that a large number be enrolled.
There are no dues for the active mem
hers but each one will be asked to con
| tribute some article each month.
! These articles will be sold and the
proceeds used for the Association of
Charities work. For the month of June
each member will be asked 4o give a
wash rag. We prefer them to be a
little fancy in some way as they sell J
more readily but from those who are
unable to crochet or embroider, we
will gladly take them plain.
The men and all who care to give
money are asked for SI.OO per year,
a small amount for so wide a work.
, The calls for the proceeds from Tag
Day began before the amounts were
collected and have continued. It is the
intention of the association to answer
in so far as possible every- call for
urgent neetf which comes to us, but
we must ask those who call on us not
to expect too much money for each
call they give in. It is hard often to
realize that there are other needs as
urgent as the one you give and too
much of our meager fund can not go
to one case.
The following are enrolled as mem
bers and we are hoping many more
will join Immediately and help in the
far reaching work the committee is
endeavoring to do:
Mesdames R. E. Adair, J. W. L.
Brown, John Adair, R. Steinberg, J.
X Weems, J. A. Montfort, Misses
Elinor Jones, Rebecca Knight, Clyde
Galt, Maggie Irick, Emogene Mtin
ford, Emily Daves, Jessie Daves, Isa
Neel, Lydia Jackson; Jessie Wikle.
ter under the provisions of paragraph
sixty-four. If it later appears that the
liberality of this policy is being
abused more stringent action will be
taken. Cards received from absentees
after fifth should be filed as prescribed
in paragraph forty. Please give this
the widest publicity and inform all
registration boards without delay.

thousands of homes. This will give an
excellent opportunity to the people of

which to those who were present in
Atlanta while it raged was most thril
ling and appalling. The picture, has
been jiopularly patronized wherever
it has been displayed and Mr. Gould

The committee has been urged to
undertake the work of publicity and
personal solicitation to get the gov
ernment securities placed among the
people of this county to the extent ol
the ability of the people here to ham
die these bonds and acting in con-
junction with bankers associations
and other organizations by authority

people have subscribed their share.
Already the local banks have sub

institutions can be accommodated
with terms of purchase which will
place it within the power of all to se
cure a Liberty Bond.

mittee that on the date set for the
closing of the subscriptions that tfie
bonds will be oversubscribed and that
Bartojtv county will lead the van In

BE OBSERVED
The annual observance of Library
Day will be held at the Cherokee Club
next Tuesday afternoon at 3:30. Ev
ery member is urged to be present and
is requested to Invite three friends
as this will be the last regular meet
ing of the culb until fali. A short pro
gram of music and informal talks will
be given and at the conclusion a
“Book Shower” will be held In the
library. The chairman requests every
body who uses the library and is in
terested in a public library for Car
tersville to bring or send a book. It
need not necessarily be anew book,
but it must be something suitable to
be placed on the library shelves.
Look over your books and see what
you can give, or perhaps you will find
a good story in a cheap binding that
i would be eminently suitable.
The library has been a part of the
splendid work of the Cherokee Club
too long to need comment. It has been
.maintained so quietly and regularly
that few have paused to consider
from where the support came, hut the
club must make a more public appeal
now and it is earnestly hoped that
next Tuesday will show w hat the li
brary means—not to the Cherokee
Club, but to Cartersville. j
