BARTOW MINING ASSOCIATION
FORMED TOJIOTE RESOURCES
An Enthusiastic Meeting Wherein A Pro
gressive Spirit Was Manifested And
Satterfield Chosen President.
The Bartow County Mining Associa
tion was launched last Monday night
and promises to be one of the most
alued organizations ever formed here
for the promotion of prosperity and
co-operative effort in the wealth pro
tective pursuits of the county, min
eral and agricultural.
The mining industry has come to
lie one of such value to all the busi
ness interests of Bartow county and
one upon which a large share of the
population of the county is dependent,
That mine owners and operators re
rntly concluded to form an associa
tion. It was thought by those who ad
ocated the idea that it would not on
ly be helpful to the miners themselves
but it could be used as a means of
bringing together a better understand
rng between all classes of business.
It was the opinion of these, also, that
the great and unlimited resources of
the county, both mineral and agricul
tural, could be best promoted through
the formation of an organization of
this character. It was designed also to
be social in its scope and its by-laws
are so framed as to make this a fea
ture whereby those following other
pursuits can be brought into the or
ganization on occasion to participate
in social entertainments.
On Monday night, notwithstanding
the inclement weather, a large num
ber of miners assembled at the city
hall, and at eight o’clock were called
o order by Mr. Wilbur A. Nelson,
who announced the purpose of the
meeting.
On motion Mr. Nelson was made
temporary chairman of the meeting
and John T. Norris temporary secre
tary.
Chairman Nelson then proceeded to
ead the constitution and by-laws of
The Bartow County Mining Associa
tion.” This constitution and by-laws
were adopted section by section.
After the adoption of the constitu
tion and by-laws the following officers
were unanimously elected: President,
W. C. Satterfield; Vice-President, W.
J. Weinman; Secretary, Wilbur A.
Nelson; Treasurer, H. G. Cope',
Editor, O. T. Peeples. President Sat
terfield will shortly appoint two mem
bers of the association who, with (he
other officers, will form the executive
committee, and- this committee will
have largely in hand the executive
management of the association. The
president will likewise appoint other
committees as empowered by the by
law’s.
Muddy Water In Streams.
The association, upon motion of W.
•T. Weinman, appointed two commit
tees of three members each whose du
ties shall be to inspect the mud dams
end dykes of the various mining oper
ations through the county, no one
committeeman inspecting his own
nine. These committees after inspec
tion will decide upon the efficiency of
cech mud dam with reference to its
construction and operation as to keep
ing ‘mud and muddy water out of the
r;v er and other streams of the eoun-
T > In the event the arrangement
"coined by any mine is not sufficient
or an operator sends out muddy water
horn his mine without making ar-
T ngements so that such water can
’■c caught and the mud settled before
T *' e vva+ er passes on to the river, he
' ■ 1 be notified that in the opinion of
!|m committee his arrangements are

corrected the fault by the date of
, f next regular monthly meeting of
| e association, he shall be reported
’’ association as being in default
‘ n this respect.

THE BARTOW TRIBUNE
:TRIBUNE VOL 7, NO. 24)
: of the dumping of mud and muddy
water into Etowah river and its trib
utaries. These farmers brought the
matter to the attention of the miners
themselves, and, when both sides of
the differences were stated, it was
mutually agreed that the miners would
in good faith do all within their power
to confine the mud and to prevent
any dumpage of material, mud or mud
dy water into the water courses.
The Bartow County Mining Associa
tion therefore has appointed commit
tees whose purpose will be to enforce
a steadfast adherence to this agree
ment and understanding, and to carry
out the spirit of the organization it
self, which is to co-operate with all
productive interests of the county, so
that there can be no cause for con
flict between any class of productive
energy in Bartow county.
The meeting was an enthusiastic
one in all respects and the best of
good feeling prevailed. It was the
opinion of all that the association
could be of great help to every class
of business in the county, as well as
to the members themselves, and to
tnese purposes the Bartow County
Mining Association is committed by a
constitution to which all the miners
and mine owners of the county sub
scribed Monday night.
DRAFTED MEN APPEAR
FOR EXAMINATION
Many Claim Exemption
And Prospects Are That
More Will Be Called.
The local board having in charge
the examination of those drafted for
military service to make up the new’
army have been busy all this w’eek
On Monday 125 were called for exam
ination, but the board only succeeded
in examining eighty of these.
Acting with the board are Ur. Grif
fin, Dr. Wofford and Dr. How’ell, w r ho
take down the data and make physi
cal examination of the drawn men for
service. It will be some few days be
fore these reports are made to the
board by the doctors.
On Tuesday the board received 140
and on Wednesday examined the re
maining number of those first called,
which totalled 418.
Members of the board expressed the
opinion privately that an additional
call will have to be made in order to
secure Bartow’ county’s quota, due to
the large number who are claiming
exemption and to the number who
show’ physical deficiency. The great
est trouble seems to be light weight,
and even the doctors themselves ex
press surprise that so many show phy
sical deficiency manifested in various
ways. One doctor said that the men
of Bartow county apparently needed
military training in therr youth.
Something like eighty per cent
were claiming exemptions and the
members of the board believe that
they will be busy for several days yet,
perhaps a month, before they will
have finished their duties.
Scenes in the court room were very
animated on Monday When the first
125 were called for. They appeared to
he all present, as w’ell as parents,
brothers and neighborhood friends.
The members of the board occupied
the office of the city court judge and
the tw’o jury rooms, and in serial
order the men were called one by one
for examination. This has lasted now
through three full days and not even
the members of the board themselves
can predict, even approximately, how
many of those examined will be ac
cepted nor how- many more will have
to be called before Bartow county's
quota will be secured.
Members of the board as well as the
physicians have a great deal of cleri
cal work to do after the examination
is over and much of detailed reports
will have to be made. The job is a
heavy one, requiring practically the
entire time of each member as well

CARTERSVILLE, GA., AUGUST 9. 1917
PROPOSED CHARTER RECOMMENDED
CREATE A CITY MANAGER
Mayor And Aldermen To Receive No Com
pensation And City To Be Run By One
Selected Because Of Special Fitness.
Called to consider the proposal to
amend the city charter of Cartersville,
a large number of citizens assembled
at the city ha.l Tuesday afternoon at
five o’clock, wiien Judge George H.
Aubrey was made chairman and O. T.
Peeples secretary.
Immediately upon the organization
of . the meeting, Mr. Colquitt Finley,
who drafted the proposed new charter,
was called upon to read and explain
its provisions. Mr. Finley read the pro
posed bill through, section by section.
After it bad been read, its various
sections were discussed and some few
amendments and changes made, but
upon the whole the bill as drawn by
Finley & Henson, went through the
test of criticism and came out fairly
intact as originally drawn.
The new charter, as proposed, cre
ates a board of aldermen as the gov
erning board of the city. This board
is to consist of three members, elect
ed as are the city commissioners of
Cartersville now’. The one w’ho re
ceives the highest vote shall be the
mayor. Neither the mayor nor com
missioners shall receive any compen
sation for their services. It is provid

city’s affairs with reference to its util
ity plants, streets and construction

shall be paid a salary of $2,100, elect
ed by the board of aldermen. It is pro
vided that the city manager may be
chosen from outside of Cartersville
and shall be the executive head of all
the work carried on by the city of a
business nature with the right to em
ploy and discharge help and assistants
and to personally superintend and
construct all public work.
In other words,' the board of aider
men will act merely as a board of di

institution and the real work of the
city shall be handled by the city man
ager who will be subject to discharge
FARMERS ENJOY TRIP
TO STATE COLLEGE
The trip made to Athens by auto
mobile last week by forty-four fann
ers of Bartow county was one which
was full of interest and instruction.
First going to Marietta, where they
were heartily welcomed, the party
v as escorted by Cobb county citizens
through the county and given the
benefit of the sight of some splendid
farms, live stock and modern, up to
date farm buildings. Messrs. Ander
son, McNeel, Florence, Hunt and
Northcutt were royally hospitable and
in addition to showing the journey
ing farmers some finely conducted
p’antations them also the sight
of some splendid live stock. Deeming
this not altogether sufficient, the
Cobb county citizens furnished re
freshments and cool drinks. Mr. Saw
yer, the Cobb county agent, devoted
his entire time and attention to the
party while there, adding greatly to
the pleasure of their stay in Marietta.
From Marietta the party drove out
to the Seventh District Agricultural
school, where a pleasant and profit
able time was spent.
On going to Atlanta the members of
the party were greeted by Messrs. M.
L Johnson and W. D. Trippe, repre
sentatives from Bartow county, and
entertained at luncheon, but a heavy
shower prevented a visit to the gov
ernor.
After stopping at Stone Mountain
for an hour, all the party arrived at
Athens that night.
Wednesday was spent at the state
school and experts directed and in
structed the party in the work being
there carried on. Dr. A. M. Soule, in
his wonderful manner and with easy
frace, addressed the body during the
day and otherwise directed the form
as the entire time of the doctors who
are asissting in Gie examination, for
all which not a cent of compensation
Is provided b
if his services prove unsatisfactory,
hut such discharge shall not be
brought about because of political
reasons
The proposed charter also provides
for the creation of the office of a city
recorder, such officer to try municipal
offenders and to be paid a salary o f
three hundred per annum, this
officer to he selected also by the board
of aldermen.
Another change prop sed also by
the new charter was a beard of edu
cation of five members instead of
three as now. Three members of the
board are to be selected by tne board
of aldermen, as at present, and the
other two members shall be the two
members of the board of aldermen,
and this board to have in charge the
school and educational interest of the
city as now handled by tbe present
board of education.
Otherwise there are slight differ
ences between the proposed charter
and the existing charter. In a number
cf minor details some changes have
been made, seeking to make more
plain and simple certain features of
the existing charter, but the important
changes are with reference to the
ireation of the office of city manager
aid the authority vested in him and
:he addition of two members to the
board of education and the provision
that the board of aldermen shall serve
without pay.
The meeting, after a discussion of
l early two hours, formally adopted
the charter with a referendum clause
that the same shall be submitted to
tbe people after its enactment by the
legislature for ratification.
With this action by the citizens’
meeting, Messrs. Finley and Henson
made the few changes that w’ere or
dered and transmitted it to Represen
tatives Trippe and Johnson with the
recommendation that it pass subject,
as said before, to ratification by the
people of Cartersville.

j was wonderfully informative, and
[each and every member of the party
j not only thoroughly enjoyed all that
I was to Tie seen but were furnished
with information which will guide
them in the future work in their avo
cation.
On Thursday the party returned to
Cartersville, all feeling greatly pleas
ed over their trip and expressing
themselves as thoroughly enjoying
every minute of it.

ed thanking Dr. Soule and his entire
staff for their help and also the Cham
ber of Commerce of Athens for the
splendid entertainment furnished.

<me which would be helpful to all who
took it, was pleased beyond measure
with the results obtained.

Avo members of the Euharlee Farm

GREAT RELIGIOUS MEETING
AT TARERNAGLETO CLOSE SUNDAY
Rev. Arthur Moore And Prof. O. W. Staple
ton Deliver Series Of Forceful And Tell
ing Blows Against Sin During Week.
The meeting at the Sam Jones tab
ernacle continues to grow in interest
and the crowds who attend the ser
vices seem intensely interested in the
strong sermons delivered twice each
day by Rev. Arthur Moore.
Prof O. W, Stapleton gave an illus
trated talk to the children and young
people Saturday night, at which ser
vice the tabernacle was taxed to the
uttermost. The talk was illustrated
with candles, the central candle rep
resenting Jesus. After the “Candle
Lecture” he gave a beautiful flag dim
ply. Everyone present felt that they
had never attended such an instruc
tive as well as entertaining and help
ful children’s service.
On Sunday morning at eleven
o’clock, Mr. Moore delivered what was
thought by many to be the most mas
terful sermon heard In many years to
a tabernacle overflowing with people.
His text was: “Let this mind be in
you which was also in Christ Jesus.”
Phil. 2-5.
He said in part: "The writing of St.
Paul, from which I get my text, make
up a large part of the New Testament.
Paul was never content simply to win
a man for Jesus, and we find his let
ters one continual exhortation to the
church to seek the deeper, richer
things of a life hid in Christ Jesus. In
his gospel there is a constant exhobta
tion to believers not to be content,
j but to press forward for the best, and
says ‘I beseech you therefore, breth
ren, that you present your bodies a
living sacrifice —and ye are not called
unto uncleanliness.’ And again, ‘Hus
bands, love your wives, even as Christ
loved the church and gave himself for
it.’
•‘Paul’s letters ate filled with strik
ing passages as our text. In Paul’s re
vival at Phillipi, many were saved and
the church was organized; but Paul
had many calls and had to leave the
Phillipians, so he w’rote these letters
to take the place of the sermons he
would liave preached, and. while he
is writing, he looks in the future and
sees the trials that would come to
them, and he knew that if they were
a church that represented Christ, that
the gates of hell could not prevail
I V
against, then they must know that
their need was to 'Let the mind be in
them that was in Christ Jesus.’ He
knew that they must take a step near
er. He said: 'lf von would be that sort
of a Christian delivered from sin, a
church with power, glorifying God,
then let this mind be in you.’ Through
faith, prayer, self denial, they could
bring this church of believers to say
‘Let this mind be in you which was
also in Christ Jesus’ —and in doing so
could settle every problem and thus
guarantee the success of the rhitrch.
| “1 do not believe he meant the
quantity of mind that Jesus had. Jesus
was divine; we are human. Jesus was
infinite; we are finite. But he meant
if believers w r ou*d reach ideal they
must have in tht m the quality of
mind that was in Christ Jesus. We
might go to the ocean and carry with
us a gallon bucket and scoop up a
bucket full of the salt water of the
sea, and while we could not carry with
us the quantity of the ocean’s water,
we would carry the quality;—the
same kind of water that fills the ocean
would fill our vessel. And we can, by
the grace of God, have our vessel fill
ed with the same life as Jesus lived
in Galilea, and, unless I am attaining
to that ideal and am filled with His
light, His life, His mind and His
nature. Lam not attaining unto the
ideal Jesus set up for ns
“There is a vast difference in hav
ing a model and having an example.
You might have as your model Wood
row’ Wilson. You might dress like him,
_act like him; and so with Jesus, you
might dress as He dressed, look as
He looked, and yet fail. But Jesus as
the example, unselfish, pure, and in
every sphere live out a life in holy
principle as Jesus lived,
“To be a Jesus man, you must live
like Jesus, walk like Jesus, with mind
and nature of the indwelling Jesus.
‘‘The one supreme need of the
church today is not One churches,
beautiful organs, splendid carpets, but
the supreme overshadowing need is
that the men and women of the church
ot God have the mind of Jesus Christ.
The eight years that my thought, my
prayer and my life have been given to
the church. I’ve found that the su
preme need is that men and women in
our church should live and walk and
talk like Jesus.
' Someone said to me 'Mr. Moore,
you preach like you thought every
man should live like a pr. tcher.’ I
said: ‘Oh, no, niv brother, I believe
every man in the church should live
like Jestte.’ ’’
Further elaborating his tin me, Mr.
Moore referred to the humility of
I Jesus Christ and admonished his hear
ers that if they wanted to have the
“mind” of Him, they must be humble.
Also to he like Him they must be
pure in heart and purpose and get out
of their lives all uncleanliness. They
must also be loyal to the teachings of
Christianity and their lives must also
he characterized by love, —the same
character of love that carried Jesus to
the cross for all the souls on earth.
The sermon was an especially
strong one and greatly impressed his
hearers who followed him throughout
his logical and earnest discourse.
Prof. Stapleton Talks to Children.
On Tuesday afternoon Prof Staple
ton gave an illustrative talk to a large
audience of children on the Ten Com
mandments. This address was pleas
ing and interesting as well as instruc
tive and was enlightening to the
young minds who heard him.

1 FINE INSTRUCTION
About one hundred farmers gather
ed in the office of C. 11. Cox, county
agent, in the court house last Tues
day and listened with intense interest
to the speeches made by Mr. Lowry
and Miss Ernie Proctor.
Mr. Lowry and Miss Proctor direct
ed their discourses along the line of
food conservation and the problems
confronting our nation with reference
to food during the pendency of the
war. Each made interesting talks
along the line of distribution, conser
vation and other things concerning
food during this crisis. Mis® Proctor,
for more than an hour, explained how
to live economically at home, this for
the purpose of furnishing the best
means of solving the food problem.
It was also brought out that great
progress had been made in supplying
food stuffs and it was predicted that
yet more land would be planted in
food next year.
Both speakers, while handling an
interesting theme and one in which
all now are interested, added greatly
to the enlightenment of all farmers
present, and the expressions were
freely made that the speakers told
things that will result in great good
to all who heard the splendid address
es made.
Due to the heavy rains of the day,
the speakers Nvere prevented from go
ing to Adairsville for an afternoon
meeting previously planned. The
crowd hod assembled at Adairsville
and were greatly disappointed in not
being able to bear them and to reap
benefits from their store of informa
tion.
