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.

I On \\ ednesday, August 2*2, the Bar tow county Masonic convention was held at Cat sv >lie, Gu., and repi esent::- I lives from all the ten lodges of Bar tow county were present, as well as a large number of Invited guests. The convention business was promptly attended to (faring the morn ing hours. Among the matters of moat importance transacted was the elec lion of officers. These were .selected a follows: R. F Kincannon, worship ed master; J. M Dorsey, senior war den; J. B. .Mahan, junior warden* T. F. Vaughan, secretary-treasurer; Dr R. E. Wilson, senior deacon; H, C. 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 convention was the presentation by 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, and W. M. Patterson, of Cartersville; B. Anderson, ot Taylorsville; F .T Bray, J. P. Watson and J. P. Kinnian, of Adairsville: .1 M.

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. , .4Ui I 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.
