THE BARTOW TRIBUNE
(TRIBUNE VOL 7, NO. 27
RUNAWAY HORSE
INJURES TWO MEN
J. W. Fletcher, Of Cass Sta
tion, Suffers Fractured
Skull Tuesday.
On Tuesday afternoon a serious run
away occurred on Cassville road,
whereby two men were injured, one.
Mr Hicks, who was driving, being
thrown out in front of the residence
of O. T. Peeples, from which he sus
tained slight injuires, and the other.
Mr. .1. W. Fletcher, of Cass Station,
being thrown out in front of the resi
dence of F. V. Smith, and from which
fall he suffered a fracture of the skull.
It appears that the horse, a spirited
animal, was the property of S. H.
Bearden, of Cassville, and .Messrs.
Hicks and Fletcher were letting him
out on the good stretch of roadway at
the i>oint where they were hurt. The
speed of the animal and his spirit got
from under the control of the drivers
who were in a cart or sulky. Losing
control, first Mr. Hicks was thrown
out and afterwards 7lr. Fletcher. The
neighbors and passersby along the
road came to the rescue of the men
and medical aid was sought at once,
but it w r as sometime before Dr. Wof
ford reached the scene. He at once
took charge of Mr. Fletcher and con
cluded that his skull was fractured at
tin base of the brain.
Mr. Fletcher was afterwards taken
home and there turned over to the
care of Dr. Battle, his family physi
cian. Dr. Battle reports Mr. Fletcher's
condition as much improved and hopes
for his recovery 'but regards him as
yet in a serious condition.
FOUR SONS OF STILES FAMILY
NOW ACTIVELY IN SERVICE.
Bartow county claims with laydable
pride the distinction of having four
young men from among one oi its best
families in the service of the United
States government in the war now on
with Germany. These ate the four sons
of W. H. Stiles.
W. H. Stiles. Jr., who graduated
from Annapolis about eight years age,
has served in the navy on different
battleships since his graduation from
the naval academy. He has now been
raised to the rank of Lieutenant Com
mander and navigates the ship he is
at present serving on, doing duty be
t\>. een New York and France and Eng
land on the Atlantic ocean.
John C. Stiles has just received his
commission as First Lieutenant oi
Engineers O. R. Corps. He has been
training for the past three months at
the American Cniveisity eight miles
from Washington, D. ('., where the
engineers are put through the most
intense training and last instructions
before going into active service.
Hugh H. Stiles, who served on the
Mexican border during the last winter
as First Sergeant, of his company of
national guards cavalry, lias just re
ceived his commission as First Lieu
tenant of cavalry after three months’
Laitiiug at Fort McPherson at Atlan
ta, and he is to reiiort at Camp Gor
don. Silver Lake, for duty, in the train
ing of the second camp September 5.
Robert Mackey Stiles is serving as
Sergeant Chauffeur at Camp Gordon
it, the Quartermasters Department,
and from there will probably be sent
to Charleston for final training before
being sent to France.
Mr. Stiles has two younger sons,
too young for enlistment for service,
which is probably the reason for their
not being now with their brothers in
defense and in prosecution of the war
aims of the United States.
All these boys are popular socially
highly esteemed by all who Lnow
them, and their promotion to rank as
well as their future service will be
such as to afford personal satisfaction
to a great number of the friends of the
family.
REV. JNO. G. LOGAN TO PREACH
SERIES OF SERMONS.
On next Sunday morning Rev. John
( . fjogan. the pastor of Sam Jones
Memorial church, will begin a series
or eight sermons on ‘‘The Unfolding
of Character.”

Nelson, junior deacon; W. I). McGow
an, -enior steward; A. A. Adcock, jun
ior steward; L. B. Hughes, chap'an.
Amorg the pleasant features of the

Joseph 3. Calhoun, of Cartersville. on
tehalf of the convention, in a happy
speech, a testimonial to Dr. R. 1. Bat
tle and H. W. Paris, past master, of
I the convention.
During the afternoon public exer
cises were held at the church presided
over by H. W. Paris. At this meeting
Hon. M. 1- Johnson, Rev. Mr. .Max
well, L. P. Gaines, Rev. W\ R. Head
and Dr. J. P. Bow do in made addresses.
The speech of Dr. Bowdoin, dealing
with a theme of a national nature was
: a imrltoularly tine address devoted to
j patriotism.
W. T. Townsend, chairman of the
' memorial committee, read the report
! which appropriately referred to the
! lives of the deceased members of he
lodge who died during the past year
These were John S. Leak, L. S. Mun
ford. A. M. Puckett, L. B. Matthews,

I easion and in which all the Masons,
! as well as visitors and invited guests
| happily participated. The convention
| will long lx 1 remembered as one of the
' most pleasing ever held and the hos
| pi tali ty of the people of Cassville will
yever be forgotten.
CARTERSVILLE HORSES
MAKING WONDERFUL RECORD.
The Cartersville owned hor-es !>e
ing raced now' by M. J. Moran at the
! Kentucky fairs and race tracks are
1 making no less than a wonderful rec
! ord and which has had the effect of
j causing other stables to *it up and
; take notice. * -
Mr. Moran and his horses are How’
strong favorites wherever they appear.
He has been on the road for about
five weeks and in no race has finished
further awav than third. In other
vords, he has been at all times within
the money.
Starting thirty times, Mr. Moran has
von fourteen first monies, ten second
and six third. It is doubtful that any
stable or driver can show a record as
good anywhere in the country and the
annals of horse racing certainly don't
show any better.
What is yet more, the people of Ken
tucky, familiar with good racing stock
and its history traditionally associated
with that of good horse racing, have
i been caused to understand that Car
tersville, Ga., has some racing stock
and a driver, both of whom are to be
ireckoned w'ith when it comes down to
making time.
These horses and Mr. Moran are
100-ting Gartewville and by the time
Mr. Moran gets through the circuits
he has entered. Cartersville and its
racing stock will be far better known.
W. H. Lumpkin and R. W. Knight
left Sunday for Fort Oglethorpe, there
tc enter the officers’ training camp
with a view of qualifying for officers’
places in the United' States army. The
good wishes of the hostts of friends of
these two popular young business men
follow them into the .patriotic service
and hope for their snocess. ,

GOVERNMENT SEEK
ARTILLERY RANGE
Bartow County May Sub
mit Location For Con
sideration.
The United States government is
seeking to purchase a tract of land
fifteen or twenty miles square for the
purpose of establishing thereon a tar
' get and artillery range for army prac
tice, and possibly for the erection of
a cantonment to accommodate as
many as twenty or twenty-five thous
and soldiers.
The matter has been taken up in
Cartersville and possibly within-the
next two or three days the army au
thorities will he petitioned to examine
a location in this and the adjoining
county of Cherokee. The committee,
consisting of Joseph S. Calhoun, Wil
bur Nelson. R. S. Munford, J. W.
Vaughan and J. W. Knight, have the
matter in charge and at a meeting of
business men held in Cartersville this
week Judge George H. Aubrey and
Wilbur Nelson were delegated to go
to Charleston, S. C„ and there lay be
fore General Duvall, commander of
the southeastern department United
States army, our advantages and
a\affabilities as a site for such a lo
cation.
Such a place would be of great bus
iness advantage to the country in
which it is located and it is hoped that
this section will be able to offer the
government an advantageous location
BIG ORDER PLACED
FOR RED CROSS SEALS.
The Raoul Foundation announced to
day the placing of an order with she
American Red Cross for 3,500,000 Red
( toss Christmas Seal*. This is the
first step in the pre aratian for the
v cal sale which annually comes off
during the Holidays, the proceeds of
which are used to finance the various
anti-tuberculosis organizations in tho
slate.
The sale in Georgia was
the largest' in the history of these cam
paigns and was only exceeded in tho
south by Texas, North Carolina and
Virginia. The amount raised through
the sale was a little more than SIO,OOO,
ell but ten per cent of which was re
tained by nineteen local organization®
and one state organization doing anti
tuberculosis work in Georgia.
The burden upon these organizations
will be greatly increased during the
coming year owing to conditions
brought about by the war. ami con
sequently the coming sale will be ex
pected to yield much 'better results.
Before the beginning of the sale,
which is set for November 29th, a re
port will be issued from the office of
the Foundation, 912 Candler Building,
Atlanta, showing just how the income
firnn last year’s sale was used and to
what extent the needs of those suf
fering from tuberculosis were met
thereby.
