The tabernacle is being cleaned and put in order, and arrangements are being made looking to the comfort and convenience of those who attend the services. The tabernacle meetings have long been cherished by the majority'of Mar ie w county’s people, as well as those from nearby counties, as an institu tion in which each one had a part, and for many years, since the first ’brush ; rbor” meeting conducted by the fa mous revivalist a quarter-century ago. the people have looked forward each year to the Sam Jones' meetings, when they could gather from all parts of North Georgia for religious and social enjoyment. N'o better time could have been chosen for the meetings when it is considered that at the date mentioned farmers will have laid by crops and v ill be free to attend and bring their families.

The following letter, which has been received by the editor of The Tribune- News will prove of deep interest to the farmers, as well as the people gen erally, of Bartow county. As will be | seen, Congressman Lee, has been I flooded with inquiries regarding the inclusion of cotton in the food control hill now before congress, and his time is so taken up with other duties, he has chosen The Tribune-News through which to reply to those who have writ ten him regarding this most import ant matter. Mr. Lee's letter, and a statement re garding the situation both follow: Washington, D. ('.. July 13, 1917. The Tribune, Cartersville, Ga, Dear Mr. Editor: I am enclosing copy of a statement which 1 think important at this time. There seems to be quite a good deal of uneasiness as to whether cotton will he included in the Fo Hi Control Bill. My mail is so heavy along these lines that 1 desire to answer a large part of my correspondence on this matter through the columns of your valuable paper. Sincerely, GORDON LEE. Since the inclusion of cotton in tne toed Control Bill in the senate, be'ng on the committee on agriculture, my friends throughout the seventh con gressional district have flooded me v. ith telegrams and letters of protest to this, to such an extent that F desire ♦o answer through the columns of your paper. I know bow importanL-the quest ion h§Jq the price. -of cotton will be to the farmer this fall. I also realize that, the people who raised cotton in the years 1914 and 191-3 were almost bankrupted on account of the effect of the great war in Europe, which demoralized the prices to such an extent that cotton dropped from 12 and 13 cents to 0 cents a pound, with few buyers at ihat price. In my judgment, cotton is the cheap est commodity being sold, when we calculate the great expense the farm ers have had to grow' the present crop, and it is absolutely important to the south that they should receive at least a reasonable price for cotton. When the Food Control Bill was re ported by the committee on agrlc.nl ! ture in the house, it conta’iied not one word which could be construed to in clude cotton. The control was limited to foods, feeds and fuel. An effort was made on the floor of the house to in ] elude other things, .but they were fin ! a’iy disposed of. either by vote or ' points of order were raised against I them. We admitted that cotton seed would j likely l>e included in feeds and fuel, j but lint cotton bad no place in the bill I Therefore, when the matter passed I the house, cotton was not included in i the bill. To make the matter perfectly j safe and beyond question. Representa | tive Young, of Texas, made it impossi ; bl* for the courts to so construe it, , by an amendment to the bill which lie ! offered. Cotton was inserted in the Dill in i the senate. 1 am one of the throe conferees in j the house to meet with a like number j of- conferees in the senate to settle ; the differences 'between the house and - i the senate bill on the subject of food i (control. We have had several meet | ings, but no final ’ results have been j attained. 1 want to assure my friends | throughout the district that my efforts j and influence in this measure will be | to restrict the bill, as was formerly ! intended, to include only foods, feeds land fuels. Cotton will be eliminated from this bill if my vote and influence ! can attain this result. * Truly yours, GORDON LEE.

THE CARTERSVILLE NEWS CARTERSVILLE, GA., .JULY 19, 1917 SUPERIOR COURT IRES II MURDER CASES IN ONI DAY Cases Of J. E. Brock And Mrs. Frank Daniel Tried With Verdicts Returned Of “Not Guilty." Two homicide cases tried in one day! J. E. Brock, charged with murder j arraigned, tried and found not guilty on July IS. Mrs. Frank Daniel, charged with in , voluntary manslaughter, in the cotn- I mission of an unlawful act, arraigned, J 1 lied and found not guilty on July IS. This is perhaps a record for quick work in a superior court, especially in 1 cares of this character, as they usual !•' involve much formality and what ; is known as ‘ red tape’’ which causes I many delays. Brock, a flagman on the Louisville A Nashville train running between Cartersville and Etowah, Tenn . on the morning of June 20th shot and killed ! Cleorge Beemnn, a negro, at the plant of the Cartersville Supply Company, to which place he is alleged to have pursued the negro. The young man. who is said 3" have had two pistols emptied nine shots into the body of the black man, after which he calmly .turned and walked to the hotel leaving hi? victim on the ground. At the Hyatt hotel the young man called Sheriff Cutaway, and informed him of what hud transpired and gave himself up to the officers of the law. Brock declared that he had shot the negro because of an insulting remark that the black man had made to Mrs. Frock the afternoon before, and which was reported to him after his arrival home from his run. A preliminary trial was held the day of the shooting, and after hearing evi dence Mr. Brock was released from custody on the grounds that lie had committed justifiable homicide. The graiui jury, however took the case up end the indictment that was found by that body brought the case before the superior court, where it was gone into more elaborately. Brock’s case was eaJled at the open ing of court and the jury was secured ly 11 o’clock. Several witnesses were called to prove the condition of Mrs. Brock, whose storv of the experience with the dead man formed the basis for the defense. Then Brock was plac ed upon the stand and made a state ment that was practically the same that was made before the justice of the peace in the preliminary trial when he was discharged from custody on the grounds of justifiable homicide. .Mr. Brock told of his coming home from his run. and finding his wife in a highly nervous condition. He said that it was impossible for him at first to induce her to relate to him what had caused her to he in such condition, but finally prevailed upon her to tell him what had transpired. After bear ing the story of his wife, be sought the negro, hoping by a personal inter view with the b'ack man to clear the matter up, anil develop, possibly, the hope that his. wife bad been mistaken. Upon finding Beeman the next morn ing he asked him if he had been to Mrs. Brock’s home during the previous day to leave ip-e, and upon the negro’s affirmative reply, he asked if he had done anything else but leave ice. Then, raid Mr. Brock, the negro became in solent, and as though lie apprehended an accusation, he said. ‘’Anybody that says 1 did anything but leave ice there tells a He.’’ •'Then." said Mr. Brock, “the negro stooped to pick up a piece of iron pipe that was laying near, and seeing ntv danger ! shot him until 1 was satisfied he was dead. The jury after being charged by the cmirt retired’to the jury room, and after taking a vote on the question, re h.rned in about fifteen minutes with a verdict of “Not Guilty. The verdict was received with calmness, and al though the y ting man had many friends in the court room, who ap proved of the action of the jury, there was no demonstration. Mr. Brock was represented by Mes srs. Neel & Neel and Judge A. W. Fite. The case was finished at about t ( "clock p. ni. Mrs. Frank Daniel’s Case. The case of Mrs. Frank Daniel, , charged with the killing of her step- ' son. young Frank Daniel, at then : home on the 4th day cf last frebruarv, . wa-: arraigned immediately upon the conclusion of the Brock case, and made a plea of not guilty. A jury was quickly selected and the case proceeded with rapidity. .Miss Audrey May Daniel, sister of the slain <bild, and step-daughter of the defend aifi, was the first witness, lies testi- 1 loony was largely coroborative of the i statement that was made by Mrs. Dan iel and her father Frank Daniel, Sr., and supported the theory of the do-' fi use that the shooting was an acci dent. Mrs. J. B. Smith and Mrs. J. R. W ylie were also introduced as wit- ' nesses Tlit 1 statement of the accused was read from manuscript, and consumed about twenty minutes in the reading, j She was several times overcome with emotion and her reading was inter rupted until she regained composure. Her statement was a clear recital of the tragedy and she went into the har rowing details In an effort to show that it was not her intention to shoot the young bov. She again declared ihat her possession of the pistol was fir the purpose of defending herself against her husband, and that th" shooting of the child was an accidental result of the scuffle that took place when her husband attempted to dis aim her. .Miss Audrey May Daniel also de clared that her father attempted to take the pistol from Mrs. Daniel, and that his hand was burned with powder when it was discharged. The defense in this case was ably conducted bv Neel & Neel, and the state was represented bv Judge A. \V. Fit(p and Solicitor Lang. The jury after receiving the charge of the court at about six o'clock re tired and quickly made a verdict of not guilty. DRAWING WILL PROBABLY TAKE PLACE FI DAY. Washington, July 18. —Advices today to Brigadier General Crowder, the pro vost marshal general, indicted that the national lottery of 1t>,000,000 men registered for military service could be held next Friday. Prepara tons to make the drawing on that day went ahead rapidly, although a final dec! - ion as to the date cannot be made un ti 1 the last governor has actually re ported that the local exemption boards in his state have finished their task.

Big TaFk For Newspapers. General Crowder was in c mferene j today w ith the newspaper correspond i cats over arrangements for the diaw , iiig. The press is relied upon to carry t( individuals throughout the countr;. tlie information as to when they will be required to ape.ar before exemption boards, aud for that reason every ef . fort is being made to suit, the conven ience of 'he papers as to details. The task of transmitting the long I lists of numbers by telegraph is a prob lem of considerable proportions, but the press associations and telegraph companies are making efforts to in sure both speed and absolute accuracy in transmission. There is more can f,rn over the task of the individual newspapers after they receive by wire the results of the drawing. In large ( immunities tile problem of printing the serial numbers with tlie names of ;he men they represent in each dis trict attached is one of staggering pro portions. in New York City, where there ate G 9 of the 4,557 local exemption dis tricts, a list cf the names and numbers would fill several hundred newspaper pages. Even to give sufficient name? and numbers to cover those likely to called to the colors immediately means enormous work. Problem of Alien Registrants.
