ORATOR WILDER
PLEADS FOR_LOTM.It
Eloquent Minister Enter
tains A Big Audience
At Court House.
At the court house last Monday
ijght Rev. John S. Wilder, of Savan
nah, delivered an address to a large
cudience of men and women which
was well received and the speaker
given rapt attention throughout.
The local council of the Junior Or
der United American Mechanics,
whose aims and purposes are largely
patriotic and who are at this time es
pecially active in instilling a spirit of
loyalty and love of country into the
hearts of men, invited Rev. Mr. Wil
der, together with State Counsellor
Sandsburn and State Secretary Love
less, to come to Cartersvffie and to
he present at this meeting.
Rev. Mr. Wilder has made a number
of addresses which have attracted the
attention of people generally, and,
himself a member of tbe Junior Order
United American Mechanics, this or
der has been especially stirred by his
activities To such an extent has Mr.
Wilder s eloquence taken hold that he
has been affectionately termed “Bear
Cat Wilder” by his friends and admir
ers, because of his emphatic and dec
lamatory/ eloquence in the defense of
right and the condemnation of wrong.
At eight o’clock Monday night the
superior court room was comfortably
filled when Mr. C. C. Pittman called
the meeting to order and Immediately
introduced Rev. C.- L. McGinty, pastor
of the First Baptist church of Carters
ville. Rev. McGinty, in a few well
chosen remarks in which reference j
v. as made to his association with Rev.
Mr. Wilder in early days, introduced |
Hie speaker of the evening.
Mr. Wilder proceeded at once to
state the purposes of the Junior or
der and declared it to be an oganiza
tion which had accomplished a great
deal of good throughout the nation in
the matter of restricting' foreign im
migration to our shores, in extending
the public school educational system
the United States and in insisting
upon the introduction of the Christian
Üble in the puit'ic School and a rev- |
erence for the ■' sg of our country.
Mr. Winder’s ddress was particu-j
l&rly strong when lie praised Presi- i
dent Wilson for his splendid states- j
manship in handling the difficult af- j
fairs of state, first in an effort to main- |
tain peace with other nations and ulti- 1
a aitely, when respect for ourselves as i
a nation could not exist longer, to de- |
dare war against. Germany, die was j
caustic in his condemnation of those .
vho have" sought in various and de
vious ways to undermine the force and |
power of the government, opposing the
draft lav and various other measures
which have been advocated by Mr.
V' iison to enable our nation to throw
its entire force against the enemy.
The best of attention was given to
Mr. Wilder who was a man of attrac
tive appearance, youthful in years for
one who apparently has reached such
maturity of thought and accuracy of
expression, and who is, withal, a mag
netic s.|leaker whose every word is
mtened to by each and every man and
woman within hearing of his voice.
\fter Mr. Wilder’s address a quar
<i, composed of Mrs. A. B. Cunyus,
Mrs. Greene, Mr. J. W. Jones and Mr.
t C. Pittman, sang ‘‘My America” to
'he great delight and pleasure of the
tidience, and Mrs. Cunyus who led,
as well as Mrs. Greene, received a
mosi cordial evidence of the apprecia
tion of the audience for"the rendition
of this song.
-Mr. Pittman thereupon called upon
" -Me Counsellor Sandsburn who in a
few words told what the Junior order
had accomplished and what it was yet
seeking to accomplish throughout .the
nation and earnestly urged a patriotic
esponse upon the part of all men to
e call of the nation for help and as
sistance at this time.

Secretary Tinsley Bu s y

Mr, Warren Tinsley, secretary of
the Bartow County Fair Association,
left Cartersiville Tuesday night for
Tennessee and Kentucky for the pur
l>ose of closing arrangements with
racemen which will insure some fine
trotting and pacing horses during fair
week here' in October. Already a num
ber of owners have signified their pur
pose to bring racing stock to the
fair grounds and Mr. Tinsley goes for
the purpose of making arrangements
for father entries, and, as the state
fair is on in Tennessee at this time,
it. is his purpose to view the perform
ances of the racing animals and to se
cure for the Bartow County Fair only
the best.
Arrangements are -being rapidly
completed for a most interesting fair
this - year, not only with reference to
the agricultural products and live
stock, industrial and commercial fea
tures, but a!f-o to include extraordin
ary amusement features, good racing
and a big*midway.
Mr. Tinsley and the other directors
of tbe association are confident of hav
ing a most interesting show this year
and also unprecedented crowds. Due
to (he fine crops and general prosper
ity prevailing and the reduced en
trance fee, it is predicted that the gate
receipts will far exceed anything ever
yet taken in by the Bartow County
Fa if.
W. A. Blackwell, in charge of the
midway attractions, has been in Ten
nessee for several weeks and is lead
ing in this direction a most fonnicfable
array of midway show's, and this fea
ture of the fair this year will in all
respects be handled better than ever
before.
The school fair, as well as the boys’
corn and pig clubs and the girls’ can
ning clubs, will all have interesting
exhibits and displays, and it goes
without saying that the woman’s
building will, as heretofore, be a thing
or art as well as conclusive evidence
of progress Lu domestic science. Never
before, perhaps, in the history of the
county has so much fruit and vegeta
bes been preserved and" canned, and
this, of course, means that a great dis
play will be made.
The negro buii’diing is not ample to
lake care of all the exhibits that are
already in sight, and extra prepara
tions are planned to meet the over
flow of stuff which will be brought in
by the negroes-.
Both Mr. Tinsley, iiff- secretary, and
Henry Milam, the assistant secretary,
are devoting their entire lime now.
night and day, toward bringing to a
focus rhe many lines of endeavor
which they have been pursuing for
sometime so that during fair week
there will be every reason for a large
at tendance each day.
POTASH DISCOVERED IS
belief of McCauley.
In the opinion of VV. S. McCauley,
state geologist, and an authority upon
the value of minerals, unusually con
servative in his estimates of the value
o virgin Helds of minerals, a slate de
posit has been discovered near White
station in Bartow county of the net
value of hundreds of thousands of dol
lars. Dr. McCauley estimates that at
the present prices of potash which this
si'ate carries, something near $43,000
an acre may -be the yield. Slate is saitf
to be an excellent material for potash
and, in the opinion of Dr. McCauley,
covers a belt six miles long and about
a quarter of a mile wide, with a thick
ness of two hundred feet.
It is hoped that this new source of
■wealth will materialize as predicted
and foreseen by Dr. McCauley, since
potash is in America a very rare chem
ical with a present very high value
and for agricultural purposes is in
aieat demand.

The following comnmuieatiun from
Major C. F. Holton, Medical Corps.
1. S. N. G., Commanding Georgia
Field Hospital No. 3, 106th Sanitary-
Train, 31st Division U. S. A., has been
issued and made public for the pur
pose of drawing into service recruits
for Georgia Field Hospital No. 1 and
four ambulance companies.
The letter should be read by all the
young men since it carries its own
appeal and has its own direct refer
ence.
General Recruiting Office,
508 I*. O. Bldg., Atlanta, Ga.
September IT, 1917.
Secretary Red Cross Chapter.
Dear Sir (or Madam:)
There has recently been organized
a a part of the 31st Division of the 1
IT. S. Army, composed of the National
Guard units of Georgia, Florida and
Alabama, a sanitary train, known as
the 106tli Sanitary Train. This train
is composed of the following organiz
ations: Alabama Field Hospital, Flor
ida Field Hospital and Georgia Field
Hospitals numbers 2 and 2. (Field Hos
pitals numbers 2 and 3 were formerly
known as “Georgia Field Hospital No.
1” and four ambulance companies.)
The pur|K>se of these units is the
rendering of first, aid to the Injured
on the battlefield and the emergency
treatment of these patients In the
field hospitals until they can be sent
back to the base hospitals.
This train, particularly the Georgia
Field Hospitals, is in great need of
about one hundred recruits at once.
These recruits will enlist for the 106th
Sanitary Train and then be assigned
to one of the different units compos
ing *he same.
In writing this letter I am endeavor
ing to secure the aid of the local Red
Cross Chapters over the state in help
ing us fill up these vacancies,* particu
larly in the Georgia units, with nigh
grade men from the state at large, of
good moral character and good ap
pearance, who are interested in tbe
work of the Medical Department.
The personnel of the Georgia Field
H< spit ais is of the highest type of
young manhood the country affords
and it is not desired to Tower the
siandard.
These units, in all probability- will
! see early service in France and it is
1 my desire that you bring this matter
to the attention of the members of
! your chapter and ask them to aid me
in getting a sufficient number of de
sirable men for these vacancies wilh
in the next ten days. This will proba
bly be the last opportunity for men to
‘‘come in out of the draft” and serve
under two flags, the Star Spangled
Banner and the Red Cross.
Thanking you in advance for your
kindness,
I am yours very truly,

STAND TRUCK TEST
Government To Move Ovei
Great-Highway Between
Camps.
—i—__.
On October eleventh an official mili-'
tary test will be made of the Dixie
Highway for use of availibility of mo
tor trucks in transporting supplies
from the warehouse of the Depot
Quartermaster in Atlanta to the ware
house of t&e Post Quartermaster at !
Ft. Oglethorpe. Accurate records of |
the time required, the condition of the
p ad and the cost of motor truck trans
portation will be kept by the observ
ers. Trucks of two ton capacity will be
used. A military escort will be pro
vided. Members of the Chattanooga
Automobile Club, the Atlanta Automo- |
llile Club as well as other clubs affil- J
ii.t and with the Georgia State Auto Asa
sociatlon will accompany the trucks, j
Motion pictures wnl be taken along j
. the way and the test given wide pub- |
Mcity through the newspapers and 1
magazines of the country.
The trucks loaded with government
supplies will be divided iretween
tbe Rome and Dalton routes in order
that a carefu'P record niHj- be made of
the condition of both routes for mili
tary use.
This makes it encumbent ui>on the
! county to make a good showing and it
j has been suggested that a meeting of
j Dixie Highway workers throughout
• Ihe county be called for the purpose of
, taking steps at once to make any nec
essary improvements which can be
made prior to the test. This should
! draw together particularly the original
workers for the highway who fought
for the designation of the route
through this county.
The importance of the test exists
' in the possible bearing it may have
; upon government in the final se
. lection of roads and highways to be
! taken over by the government, rebuilt
j and maintained as military highways.
This appears to be a fine chance to
have the Dixie Highway made avail
, able for military use during all sea
sons, under all weather conditions and
, for all time to come.
There is no question but what the
. government could save much time if
the highway between Oglethorpe and
McPherson and Camp Gordon was in
perfect condition and now available
for military use. Tiiis being so, this
test will be watched with interest and
the jieople of Bartow coiyity, and es
pecially the board of county commis
sioners, will likely do all In their pow
er to make the highway through Bar
tow county as efficient as it can be
made.

REMITTANCES TO EUROPE
FOR AMERICAN SOLDIERS,
Anticipating the time when some of
our Bartow county boys will be in
Europe, the First National Bank, ot
Cartersville, has made arrangements
with its New York correspondent, the
Hanover National Bank, whereby re
mittances can be made through Eng
land, France and Italy—Loudon, Paris
and Genoa, respectively—to any one
serving in the United States army.
It Is only necessary to have tho
name oLthe party to whom the money
is to be sent, the regiment and com
pany with which he is connected.
These remittances will be handled
promptly and accurately, and will
doubtless be used from time to time,
should many of our lioys be located
abroad
It has also arranged for a letter of
credit to be issued any soldier where
by his draft will be cashed at any one
of the above places or branches of
banks of London or Paris. This latter
however, is not often done, but can be
arranged.
The First National Bank will not
make any charge for its services in
this matter of transfers, but will do
this work gratis; the only charge be
ing the actual charge and cost of the
transaction.,
