VOL. 1 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 tb h ° W at tke fair wall ted to help boys and how in so many ways , e bo - Vs °ould co-operate with the fair.

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. JUDGE WALTER COLQUITT ENTERTAINED BY FRIEND?. Judge Walter Colquitt, of Atlanta, who lectured at the Sam Jones Memo rial church Sunday morning, was ac companied by Mrs. Colquitt, Mrs. George Howard and Mr. and Mrs. Al fred Newell, of Atlanta.

A movement is on foot which will undoubtedly be carried through hav 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 product, will be thoroughly investi gated. 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 Please be prompt notifying. , ' 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? PACES IN ATLANTA CARTERSVILLE WINS. At the Fourth of July races in At lanta three Cartersville horses made creditable showings. Dan Taylor, own ed by Horace Foster, was the winner of the 2:10 pace and in the same race Tony 8., owned by Foster and Moran was second. W. C. Dodgen’s horse, Black Hart, was also within the money and ran fourth in the 2:17 pace. Messrs. Foster, Moran and Dodgen are all greatly gratified over the show ing made by their horses. Rev. C. L. McGinty with Rev. A. E. Scott, of Kingston, will make talks a- Cassville Sunday afternoon in the in terest of the Red Cross. ' NO. 14
