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.

THE BARTOW TRIBUNE THE CARTERSVILLE NEWS (TRIBUNE VOL 7, NO. 30 WORK Dll coin FI MOVES MERRILY Oil Secretary Tinsley Bu s y And Departments Get ting Ready For Show. I 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. NOTICE. The fourth division of the llartow County School Convention will con vene at the Christian church in Adairs vilie on the fifth Sunday in September, Hfith lost.

Thev leave off their duties as civilians ana take on their duties as soldiers. They remoie themselves from under civilian au thority to place themselves under mil itary authority. They take themselves away from their business and home life to enter an altogether different life and one with which they are not at all familiar, except in rare in stances. They will even dress differ ently The conventional styles of ev ery day life will lose Interest when thej' don the khaki uniforms. Doubtless a large crowd will be here Sunday from all oves, the county to I sec the new soldiers take leave from I their home surroundings and enter j first a mobilization camp and after ! wards, in all probability, be trans ported to the battle fields of Europe, there to represent American tradition Tiki sentiment and American honor | -and strength. The new soldiers are expected to ! meet at the court house at eight j o'clock Sunday morning. After receiv i ing their transportation and proper di | lections to be given by the local board, | they will move to the park, there to wait for the train which witl carry them to Atlanta. . Mr. Levi Reeves and Mr. H. P. \Vo : l.ielsdorf are in charge of the plan to ; provide wrist watches and a program ;to be followed preliminary to these j boys leaving for the war.

Price and Carl Nelson, who visited various parts of the county in the interest of the eriter tanimeni, Taylorsville, Stilesboro, Adalreviile, Kingston, Cassvi'lle and other places have similar committees, and these, together with many other interested citiezns, will be here Sun day morning for this occasion. Contribute to Wrist Watch Fund. Everybody who wishes to contribute | to the fund for the purchase of wrist j watches for the Bartow county sol j d-ers should either see Mr. Levi Reeves or Mr. Harry Womelsdorf, or h ave one dollar at either of the three hanks for the purpose. It is earnestly hi>]>ed that this fund will represent a i general subscription. Nothing above jme dollar is solicited from atiy one j l" rsen. Many men have been seen and ; the response has been practically un animous and siK>ntaaeous. The women | have not been called upon in person I but many women will doubtless want jto thus express their interest in the j boys who are leaving their homes and | native shores to take up lhe cause of I democracy and freedom. They can do i so by leaving with or sending to the j bank of their choice one dollar which j will be applied to this fund. .Similar committees have been fortn- J ed in the other towns of the county | and with the various banks. Let this fund be a universal expression SITS Ilf BUSINESS -COMPELLED B¥ WAR The existing war with Germany lias made necessary a great many business shifts in that young men of business responsibility have taken up arms and gone into (he several cami>s for train ing preparatory to entering the regu- Iftr army or the new national army. .Mr. W.

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, C. F. HOLTON, Major, Medical Corps, ('. S. N. G. Commanding Georgia Fit Id Hosjual No. 3. 106th Sanitary yYain, 31st Div. I'. S.

WILL DIXIE HiGKitIAY 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. 1 - * .-■ 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.

This latter however, is not often done, but can be arranged.
