VOL. I 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 1 sufficient. If the miner notified has 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.

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 THE CARTERSVILLE NEWS 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 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 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 rectors of a bank or other business 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. of entertainment to which they were treated.

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. Closes Next Sunday. The services will he continued through the W’eek at 10:30 a. m., am 7:30 p. m., with a service for the youn people Friday afternoon at thre o'clock. Sunday will be the closing day, wit! three services, at 10:30, three o’clock and 7:30 FISHSTiIiIE 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. notice.
