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. THE CARTERSVILLE NEWS 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 ..

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.

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. “(Signed) CROWDER.” (NEWS VOL 34, NO. 24) RAILWAY IN EARNEST TO SUPPLY MARKETS Inaugurates Development Of Live Stock And Agri cultural Interests.

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 ‘ NO- 1 O
