PIC CLUBS MEET
10 GET BERKSHIRES
Pyrons Fine Drove Dis
tributed And Big Time
Enjoyed.
One of the most interesting and that
whic h leads to expectations of great
results in Bartow county was the meet
irg of the Pig Clubs in Cartersville
last Saturday afternoon, at which
t j me twenty-four pigs were distributed
among twenty-one boys, who made ar
rangements with the Bank of Carters
which institution had supplied
itself with pigs for this purpose.
For sometime pas', Mr, C. H. Cox,
farm demonstrator and county agent
for Bartow county, has been actively
stirring up interest among the boys in
Pig Club work and through the co
operation of the Bank of Cartersville
the entire drove of thoroughbred Berk
shire pigs from the Meadowview Farm
o? Mr. Ruohs Pyron was secured, and
a form of agreement was drawn up to
be entered into by the boy and his
lather who purchased one or more
pigs from the bank.
Mr. James E. Downing, department
of agriculture, bureau of animal in
dustry, United States government, and
head of the pig department work in
the state of Georgia, gave encourage
ment to the enterprise and lent his
presence to the occasion on Saturday
afternoon, at which time he made a
very instructive talk. Present also was
Dr. William Bradford, of Cedartown,
assistant director of agricultural ex
tension work, and Mr. Hunnicutt, of
Atlanta, the editor of the Southern
Cultivator.
At one o'clock the meeting was held
in the park iu front of the Park Hotel
and a large number of boys with their
fathers, from various parts of Bartow
county, and citizens of Cartersville
were present.
Mr. Cox acted as master of cere
monies and called upon Mr. James E.
Downing. Mr. Downing talked instruc
tively on the subject of the care of
pigs and the good results with the
boys could achieve iu entering upon
this work. Mr. Downing’s talk was well
received and intently listened to and
will bear good results.
Dr. Bradford gave a general talk to
all club members stressing the im
portance of the work of the corn clubs,
pig clubs, canning, poultry and calf
clubs. He put great emphasis upon the
value of organized work upon the part
of young people, and, as usual, held
the attention of his audience through
out.
Mr. J. W. Vaughan, vice-president
and active manager of the Bank of
Cartersville, explained the conditions
of the work and the nature of the un
dertaking between the boys and the
bank. He felt that no work meant
finer or greater results for the county
and was proud to be associated and
connected with its extension.
Mr. T. W. Tinsley, secretary of the
Lartow County Fair Association, was
P'esent and, being called upon, made
a happy speech in which he set forth
importance of this work with re
lation to the annual county fairs. He
contended that no feature of county
v °rk was more interesting to those
T ho attended than the live stock de
partment and that in this the pig
■splays are by most people consider
ed the most attractive. He also stress

(TRIBUNE VOL 7, NO. 19)
ILLINOIS BIOTS
MKT. NEGROES
Many Killed, More Wound
ed, Homes Fired And
Driven Away.
£ews dispatches from Illinois re
port the second outbreak of race riots,
when on Monday from fifty to seven
ty-five negroes were killed and per
haps a hundred wounded, and large
areas in which negroes lived were
burned. The property loss amounted
to three million dollars.
More than forty injured negroes
and six .white men were in one hos
pital and almost an equal number in
another.
The fire started about six o’clock
Monday evening and soon the flames
were visible for miles. Hundreds of
negro women, most of them carrying
bundles that held their most precious
belongings and leading small children,
fled across the bridge to shelter and
safety with friends on the Missouri
side.
Telephone wires were cut early in
the evening and telephone and tele
graph communication was thereby cut
eft. On Monday night the mobs got
into a lynching movement and one
negro was strung up on a pole but was
rescued just In time to save his life.
Seventy-five white men attacked a ne
gro in front of a drug store down town
and shot him twice and attempted to
flrag him to a pole. Later on in the
night another fight broke out in the
extreme northern portion of the city.
This brought the burning sections up
to four. Nearly five hundred negro wo
men and children were quartered in
(he city hall and the police station. At
frequent intervals all evening and un
til late Monday night trucks brought
negro refugees from burning sections
to Augment groups and at these refu
gee stations a strong guard of troops
were stationed.
At 11:30 twenty-three companies of
soldiers belonging to the state militia
were on their way to the rioting city.
At one time during the night three
hundred armed men charged into a
negro district on Third street with
flaming torches.
This is the second outbreak occur
ring in this section of Illinois within
the last month and the negroes have
in each case been badly treated. A
number have been killed, their homes
and quarters burned and yet a larger
number wounded and the temper of
the whites seems to be to prevent ne
groes from working and engaging in
employment in the manufacturing and
industrial plants located at this place.
REGULARITY OF THRIFT
HABITS MAKES WEALTH.
“I want to thank you,” said a young
man who was recently leaving Car
tersville. ‘‘You gentlemen insisted
some years ago that I take saving
stock in your Building & Loan Asso
ciation, and to be candid, I wasn’t in
terested. But somehow, you hooked
me in. And all I have today is what
you have made me save.” He said a
great deal more—“made money hut
couldn’t keep it” —‘that money burned
his pockets.”
It’s an old story.
It’s a pity there are not many more
like this —that from the free scale of
wages being paid, men, women and
children are not “doing their hit” by
sacrifice and a regularity of habits, ad
ding to a systematic saving fund.
This local Building & Loan Associa
tion, we so often mention, is strictly
a Bartow county organization, with
every investment in the county.
It’s a growing concern, approaching
now the half-million dollar mark in
money handled—all for the good of
Bartow.
It is sound as to safety, profitably
ac to saving, wise as a place to bor
row, because it is your association.
No commissions are charged the bor
rower, and all the profits are given to
the one wbo signs the note, at least
7 per cent.
Over and over this association
pleads to help any individual to save,
to own their own property, to enjoy
the full benefits they offer in the sale
of new stock.

THE CARTERSVILLE NEWS
CARTERSVILLE, GA., JULY 5, 1917
CHIT RED CROSS CAMPAIGN
BROUGHT INATTENTION OF ALL
Meeting To Be Held All Over County Next
Sunday And Bartow To Meet
It’s Obligation.
Red Cross Sunday will be next Sun
day when the people of the entire
county will be expected to come out
tc their places of worship or at other
agreed on places for the purpose of
bringing Bartow county up to its place
in this great campaign for funds and
for other assistance.
The activity being displayed in the
office of the Red Cross Society in the
city hall at Cartersville gives one the
impression that everybody means bus
iness, and during the past week a
great deal of effective work was done
in behalf of this great cause. Judge
George H. Aubrey was in charge of
the headquarters this week 'and did
much toward perfecting an organiza
tion, distributing worlds of literature
and otherwise engaging the interest of
all classes of men and women. The
various committees under and co-op
erating with Judge Aubrey in this
work were pursuing every detail of
work and few Indeed are the people
in the county now who do not know,
though they may yet fail Do realize,
the importance of the fact that the
Red Cross work is being put foremost.
It Is the great wish and desire of
Red Cross workers that all the people
meet on next Sunday and in some way
to help this cause. It means the &V
leviation of pain, the care of the
wounded, the supply of comforts and
in every other way comforft and care
for our soldiers on the field. These
soldiers are being carried now to the
battlefields of Europe where all the
world now knows the greatest slaugh
ter of the ages has been taking place
Our first. Red Cross units are in France, but they are few. Without
your aid they cannot be increased. Our soldiers are in France ready to
fight for the liberty that is our birthright. Among the first are boys from
our state, and even Bartow county. It will only be a short while be fere
everyone of us will have friends and relatives over there fighting. Do
you want these, your own soldiers, ta know that you stand back of them,
are thinking of them and depriving yourself so that they may be cared
for, made comfortable and brought back to this country in the best con
dition that the cruelties and dangers of this w r ar permit? And for those
that will not return—to have their last moments eased by the tender
and efficient care of the American Red Cross nurse and surgeon? You
want these conditions to exist. Subscribe to the Red Cross Fund, for un
less you and your neighbors give, your soldiers will be fighting without
the support of the people at home. Our boys will not be able to give
their best and will not receive the medical service and aid when their
lives are in the balance. They are fighting for your life and freedom ■
and for the rights of future generations to live free from despotism. As 1
American soldiers they are ready to make the supreme sacrifice for ’
you. Are you negligently going your selfish way, even refusing to make ’
s small sacrifice which may save thfe life of one of them.
MAKE YOUR SACRIFICE TODAY AND GIVE YOUR MONEY TO *
THE AMERICAN RED CROSS. <
On last Sunday, July Ist, the First
Methodist church observed Patriotic
Sunday by giving what several have
termed, “The best program we have
had from the Sunday School.”
The call to Patriotic Sunday came
from our great president and the in
tention or purpose of observing this
day is and was to arouse our people
to a sense of war duties, personally to
themselves, and it was emphasized in
this program that the call to govern
ment service applies to all people of
our nation, whether they be on the
firing line, in the uniform of their gov
ernment, o?"at home in safe and peace
ful pursuits, and the greatest present
opportunity for war service, for those
at home, wds presented in the Red
Cross work.
The program as given consisted in
patriotic songs, and speeches and fer
vent prayers for the success of our
common cause and country.
Mrs. A. T. Calhoun, Mrs. Sam P.
Jones and Mrs. W. W. Daves compos
ed the committee that deserves most
of the credit for this program.
t
A
Decication of Raccoon Church.
Sunday, July 8, Raccoon church will
be dedicated. Rev. L. E. Roberts, of
College Park, will preach the dedica
tion sermon.
for three years and men have suffered
untold agonies. It is the wish of those
engaged in this work that we Ameri
cans will not permit our soldiers to go
without burse care, hospital care, com
fortable clothing and the various com
forts to which they are entitled and
as .Americans have a right to claim.
The only official organization pro
viding all this is the Red Cross So
ciety, the greatest mercy organization
on earth. The government itself has
turned over the care of the soldiers to
the Red Cross Society, having so many
other details to work out and to at
tend to, and knowing the efficiency and
capacity of the Red Cross Society, the
government feels that the care, atten
tion and comfort of its soldiers can be
best attended by this society.
N<&v let every Bartow county man
and woman, and child of sufficient age
able to help, meet somewhere on next
Sunday and by their presence give en
couragement and through their pres
ence give every other aid possible.
Some states have given three, four
and five dollars per capita. There is
being asked from Bartow county
SIO,OOO, or not quite forty cents per
capita. It is, therefore, expected that
Bartow county will surely contribute
to this great cause the full amount of
what the nation thinks will be forth
coming.
These meetings will be addressed by
those who have been invited to pre
sent This matter in the various com
munities and it is expected that there
will be a successful conclusion reach
ed within the next few weeks.

A movement is on foot which will

ing for its purpose a trip upon the
part of Cartersville and Bartow coun
ty business men and farmers to
Athens, Ga., for the purpose of in
specting and investigating the State
College of Agriculture and its varied
forms of work as well as the demon
stration farms at that place and others
in route.
It ,s planned for as many as seven
ty-five citizens of this county to go in
automobiles the latter part of July.
Powder Springs, where a state stock
demonstration farm is located, will be
included ifi the Itinerary, as well as
other points of interest between here
and Atlanta. The trip primarily will
be one in quest of information relat
ing to agirculture, stock raising and
the various features of productive
growth in agricultural districts. It is
planned that every form of work car
ried on by the agricultural college
will be investigated by the party.
Those particularly interested in cat
tle will give special study to cattle
culture; those interested In hogs will
devote their time to a study oft!:. feed
ing and care of hogs; those Interested
in horses will be furnished with mfor-
relating to this animal; while
the various farm products, such as
corn, cotton, soy beans, velvet beans
an! every other form of agricultural

The trip is largely inspired by
County Agent Cox, who has from time
to time advised farmers and business
rr en to go and witness the work being
done by the State Agricultural College.
Those who desire to go on this trip
can secure information concerning it
from Mr. Cox.
COUNTY AGENT COX
BUSY WITH CLB WORK.
. (County Agent C. H. Cox has been
devoting much of his time recently to
the encouragement of club work and
reports that there are now ninety
members In the corn club, practically
all of whom are active, and eighty
seven in the pig club, which is mak
ing progress and t.he work enthusias
tically carried ou.
With the work of the several clubs
in the county going at top speed and
with every other agency at work to
make agriculture and live stock a suc
cessful year, it. would seem that Bar
tow county is doing all that could be
expected in these lines.
Associated with this is the fact that
Mr. Charles N. Maxwell, of Adairs
ville, has recently purchased four pure
bred Short Horn beef cattle, paying
therefor seven hundred dollars, which
he has placed on his Adairsville farm.
The activity in this county also
brought to it some distinguished visi
tors. Among these are J. Phil Camp
bell, who was here last Friday. Mr.
Campbell is head of the State Exten
sion Work and went to the southern
part of the county looking over the
work of the county agent.
• Mr. Jack Hart, Jr., general field
agent of the State Agricultural Col
lege, was at Euharlee and made two
splendid addresses to the summer
school, stressing the importance of
teachers co-operating in the county
work.
Mr. Collins, also out of State
College, was here during the past
week inspecting demonstration plats
where fertilizer and seed tests are be
ing carried on, one on the farm of
Mr. Henry Milam and the other at the
Bartow Rural High school. %
All those wishing to join the class
of surgical dressing of the American
Red Cross will please telephone Mrs.
Ben C. Gilreath at once. The charge
for this course is fifty cents per mem
ber. An instructor will be present
Monday to organize the class at the
Red Cross work room in the city hall

CANNING CLUBS BUST
WITH BI§_SEASON ON
Home Demonstrator Re
ceives Big Shipment Of
Cans.
Could you imagine anything more
helpful or inspiring than the 105
bright, energetic girls who are both
members and workers in the Bartow
County Canning Club?
And have you, Mister Citizen, stop
ped to think what a very important
matter this industrial work among our
folks stands for?
From the many reports coming to
us, It appears that Bartow county, all
over, hits the best gardens ever iu its
history—even the blackberry crop is
a very large one —and to conserve this
reward to man, for his plan and la
bors, the girls canning club is accom
plishing powerful economic results.
The leader, Miss Jessie Burton, who
is the Home Demonstration Agent, not
only deserves praise for her untiring
work and patience in this matter, but
with these girls is teaching the par
ents and older ones lessons of incal
culable worth.
Miss Burton at first had great dif
ficulty in getting cans for the season,
but after much effort has secured
something like 15,000 which she now
has stored at the store of Burton &
Saggus which the members can get at
the cost price and expense of handling.
The Tribune not only commends
this great and important work, but
again calls the attention of every citi
zen and adult to its importance, and
feels that all people ought to encour
age and enlarge its influence.
Miss Burton has had several impor
tant demonstrations, and her schedule
for future work in this line will be
given in next week’s issue. Will not
our older people look it up and try
and witness one of these important
exhibitions?
PATRIOTIC SUNDAY
FITTINGLY OBSERVED
At the eleven o’clock hour last Sun
day all the churches of Cartersville
showed their interest in the great
American Red Cross movement by
having a union meeting at the Sam
Jones Memorial church, where was
heard a great lecture by Judge Walter
Colquitt, of Atlanta, on the relation of
the Red Cross to the present war. It
was pointed out by him that we are in
a great war for just causes, that the
Red Cross nurse is to the wounded
hoy on the battlefield what the mother
is to him at home, that $100,000,000 is
necessary for this great work and that
we must have this amount and that
we are absolutely dependent on the
patriotic generosity of the American
people for it. We were told that many
allied soldiers had died of slight
wounds for the reason that at the
proper time they did not get sufficient
medical care and attention and that
600,000 French soldiers had contracted
tuberculosis, by reason of insanitary
trenches and that these and those like
them need the care that only the Red
Cross can give.
Bartow county’s share in this SIOO,-
000,000 fund is SIO,OOO. Some boy of
Bartow will soon lie wounded and per
haps dying in the allied trenches of
France. Shall he be nursed in these
hours of agonies by a society through
our provisions or shall his comforts
come from other sources while we
continue to live in stinted prosperity
at home?
