Tremendous Gathering Present To Witness
Presentation Of Wrist Watches
To Boys Last Sunday.
Thu leaving of Bartow county’s big
number of boys for the army canton
nt last Sunday will be long remem
bered by the large crowd present and
w iH never be forgotten by many who
;,! loved ones among the number
drafted for service under the colors.
Early Sunday morning all were on
•mid to get their directions from the
local board composed of Clerk W. C.
Walton, Sheriff Wofford Gala way and
Ordinary G. W. Hendricks. Conning
with the boys were fathers and broth
„.VSj mothers and sisters; here and
•.here, a sweetheart, perhaps. By nine
o'clock the court room was crowded
Bn d then the local board decided to
let the exercises take place at the
?a ,k on the public square where each
soldier was to be presented with a
wrist watch by the people of the
county,
Mr, L. W. Reeves had devoted his
oual enthusiastic efforts to bring
about this feature of public expression
interest and how well he succeeded
attested by the fact that he paid for
all the watches bought and still has a
balance for the remaining white boys
who are subject to call later.
This method of showing public ap
preciation was the thought of Mr. Jos.
S. Calhoun. All agreed that something
ought to be done as the boys left for
ibe war. Music, barbecues and various
other forms of entertainment were
-"guested. Mr. Calhoun suggested the
wrist watch because of the fact that
he army regulations recommend their
;se and for each soldier to provide
: itn&eif with one if able to do so, and
lather because the token would have
■' practical, a.s well as a sentimental,
i lue. The idea was accepted as a
od one and Mr. Reeves went to work
-<) raise the fund. It was dene for the
first ten all right and then S4 men
were ordered to go. But Mr. Reeves
went to it and enlisted help in the
• arious sections of the county, each
ownship coming up with its share.
Thus, Bartow county has done sorae
’ ing different and distinctive for its
departing heroes. So far as known no
uher county in the United States has
rnishfd its men with tokens so use
'll and valuable.
A tremendous Crowd was present

ginning to gather at eight o'clock and
. standing in the park or sitting m au
( iomobiles until twelve o’clock, the
. train which was to carry the soldiers
| away being over an hour and a half
' late. When the soldiers were marched
! to the park from the court house they
! were headed by Lee Padgett, E. E.
Adair and Ralph Atwood. They were
drawn up in a semi circle when the
presentation of wrist watches took
place. The following young ladies per-
I
formed this duty with grace and
delicacy: Kate Quinn, Myrtice Adair,
Joe Sproull, Emily Hebble, MaryhilL

After the watches were thus pre
sented, Mr. L. W. Reeves arose and
in turn introduced Joseph S. Calhoun,
O. T. Peeples, Judge A. W. Fite and
Rev. John G. Logan. all of whom made
short talks to the soldiers assuring
them of the loyal support and encour
agement of the people of this county
and their confidence in their soldier
like qualities.
There was a Bong wait after the
speech making yet for the train to ar
rive, during which time the friends
and relatives of the drawn men
swarmed about them and passed many
a jest and extended many a hearty
good wish. Upon the train moving out,
they were given a hearty cheer, the
boys themselves returning it in good
measure, and by seven o'clock Sunday
evening ihey had landed safely in the
camp and had been assigned to their
various regiments and duties.
The next call will embrace all the
negroes who have been drafted for
service. The manageis in charge have
sent out notices to the various coun
ties to have their men ready as this
movement toward camp will begin
October.3d; but the local board has
not been informed just when Bartow
county’s contingent will leave. The
negroes have planned to furnish their
soldiers with some evidence of public
appreciation in which the white peo
ple will heartily co-operate.

LOCAL BOARD REPORT
SEVERAL MEN MISSING
Government Will Seek To,
Trace And Find Out
Where They Are.
Out of the first 1269 i>ersons called
by the local board for physical exam
ination there were quite a number who
failed to appear. Some of these were
persons who have enlisted in the ser
vice and, of course, they did not have
to appear. Several have died since
they registered and a few have been
prevented from appearing on account
of serious Illness. A majority, however,
of those failing to appear are 'persons
of whom the local board has no infor
nation as to their whereabouts. The
rules require the names of such per
sons to be certified as having been
called for military service and failing
to appear and submit to examination.
These persons will be ordered to re
port for military duty by the Adjutant
General of the state instead of the
local board, by notice directed to the
address of each person as shown on
the registration card, informing him
tl at he has been selected for military
service and ordering him to report in
person or by mail or telegraph not
later than five days from the date of
the mailing of such notice. From the
date so specified each man to whom
*
such notice shall have been mailed
shall be In the military service of the
United States. The whole strength of
the military arm of the government is
available to compel such persons to
report.

BUSINESS MEN PUN
10 IE PAY OP WEEK
.A National System To Be
Applied Here For Com
i
munity Benefit.
It is understood that a movement
will be taken up among the business
[ met of Cartersville next week to es
' tablish a pay up week for the week
ending November 3d.
Pay up week plans have been adopt
ed in a number of cities of the United
States and has extended until the oc
casion is made a national enterprise.
This year is the fourth of a series of j
pay iqi weeks which lias demonstrated
success of the idea.
Every business man feels the con
slant pressure of the credit business.
Credit, which is the great necessary
convenience of all business, becomes
particularly abused in the retail field,
The retailer cannot be as sure about
those to whom he extends credit priv
ileges as can the wholesaler or manu-
facturer. He hasn't the necessary in
formation upon which to make an ex
act estimate of the credit worth of
each one of his customers. The pro
fessional men find themselves in the
same position as the retailer,* every
business man finding credits to be a
very heavy load.
It isn't altogether the man who
can’t or won't pay his bills who causes
the trouble, but it is a vast number
iif the small, neglected accounts, no
one of which amounts to a great deal,
ixit which i*i the aggregate stack up
to thousands of dollars in every com
munity, The business men need the
money to pay bills, to buy merchan
dise, to take discounts and extend
thvir business.
The theory of having a pay up w ok
campaign is bound to make for a bet-
Ui community spirit. It teaches and
emphasizes to the people of the com
munity the fact tabt each is dependent
| upon the other. It demonstrates that
| no one man in the community can live
: entirely to himself, and in this way is
a real community betterment cam
paign fostered by having a pay up
week when all, both debtors and ered
. itors, will join in a common purpose
j to get things settled.
The success of national pay pp week
]is due to the correct principles : n-
I volved in the plans and advertising
j used. The secret of success in any
! given community is the,enthusiastic
| campaigning in accordance with the o
plans, and the merchants of Oarters
| ville and other business men who are
I considering the idea have concluded
1 that it is an excellent one for all con
cerned. It will tend to relieve many
! vvho have heretofore been unable to
1 pay because of amounts due them and
| will prove that one dollar paid on a
debt will oftentimes find itself back
' after paying a. dozen debts in the
hands of the original possessor of it.
HARRIS COPE TO COACH
C. H. S. FOOT BALL TEAM.
H. G. Coi>e, who f r years lias been
the coach for Sewanee foot ball team,
and who has made that team one of
the best contenders always for foot
ball honors until this year when he
resigned as coach after much impor
tuning not to do so, lias consented t >
coach tihe Cartersville High school
boys.
This is gratifying nows to the boys
and those interested in the success of
athletics in the high school. It is safe
to predict that under M”. Cope’s skil
ful handling, for there are none bet
ter, t<he Cartersville High school foot
ball team will this year give their
foemen the finest points of the game
regardless of whether the mail notices
shall be delivered. If any of the above
persons are residing in distant places
they can have their physical examina
tion transferred to the local board
nearest their place of residence by
making application to the local board
at Cartersville, Ga., for such transfer.
On account of the district board hav
ing granted extension of time to quite
a number of the persons in the quota
of Bartow, the local board has not
teen able to send the 84 white men
called for in the increment to be sent
to Camp Gordon last Sunday. Already
the local board has examined and
found physically qualified and not dis
charged quite a number in excess of
209 persons, Bartow’s quota in the
present call. * i**

BRILLIANT PhBSPLCT ABEAD
FOR A GREAT COUNTY FAIR
.■ ( ('\ l -- i *' ~
Ali Departments Busy And Big Crowds.
Expected To Be Present
Every Day.
With assurances of an extraordinaiy (
display of products of all kinds, splen
did entertainment features and a fair
cf superior value, there is every pros
pect that unusual crowds will daily at
tend the Bartow County Fair ac-' j
after next.
Painstaking care lias been pursued !
in scouring the very best features to
entertain the thousands who will pay
admission fees to witness Bartow
county’s annual exhibits.
The association was never more cer
tain of good racing than this year. Sec
retary Tinsley has been compelled to
comply with a demand by race horse
owners to build more stalls, and th'S
woik is now in actual progress right
i at this time, to be finished this wee.-:
School Fair.
it is planned to admit all the chil
dren of school age and all the school
teachers without charge on the
first day throughout the county
who will gather at the park on the
public square and march to the fair
grounds. A bringing together of the
school children of the county, t.o'h
the city and rural schools, will do
much toward furnishing enthusiasm as
well as large attendance. They are
themselves especially interested lie
cause of the excellence of the school
fair. Mr. Cox, county agent, has pre
pared, with Superintendent Jackson,
of the county schools, and Assistant
Secretary Henry Milam, to make the
school fair this year one well worth
in itself the entire price of admission.
Woman’s Building.
Of course the Woman’s Building
will be replete with everything of in
terest-to women, and will furnish cor.
elusive proof this year of their thrift
and enterprise.
The women of the Cherokee Club,
a long list of the women of Carters
ville, are immensely interested in the
success of the Bartow County Fair
and show their faith by their works.
They offer a cash pri/.e for the hugest
and best display made by any woman.
The amount of the prize is ten dol
lars. It will be awarded for quality
and diversity, and the fo’l twing score
will be observed in making award:
Arrangement, 20 per cent; diversity,
30 per cent; quality, 50 per cent.
The Club earnestly solicits the co
operation and interest of everv wo
man in the county and wishes to an
nounce that application for space
should be made the superintendent of
Woman’s Department at least one
week prior to the date of the fair.
This exhibit must include at least
twenty different specimens, of which
the following are offered as sugge -
tions: Canned fruit, vegetables, pre
serves, jellies, dairy products, house-
MRS. PYRON’S CONDITION
REMAINS UNCHANGED.
h _ -
The condition of Mrs. Ruohs Pyron,
who has been .seriously ill for several
days, remains practically unchanged.
She has been taken to Rome to a pri
vate hospital and is in care of Dr. Har
bin. Her many fiends throughout the
county are making anxious inquiries
and it is their regret that the doctors
are unable to see any substantial pro
gress. They report, however, that Mrs.
1 yron’s illness is such that it will per
haps be some weeks before any real
convalescense will be manifest. The
friends of the family hcpe that she
will, however, be able to combat het*
illness successfully and again take her
place in her home and other branches
of active life with which she is asso
ciated.
NOTICE.
The Woman's Building of the coun
ty fair will be open Saturday, Octo
ber 6th, and we urge all who can to
make entries that day and save con
fusion on Monday.

hold conveniences, fancy needlework,
crochet, knitting, rug weaving, lace,
embroidery, plain sewing, quilt mak
ing, bead work, painting, raffia and
straw work, flowers, etc.
This prize has been offered this
year for the first time. The other priz
es appear in the catalogue as hereto
fore, and should be, and doubtless will
be, stoutly contested for.
Poultry.
Those interested in poultry will not
fail to find plenty to interest them as
always heretofore in the poultry de
partment. This has always been an ex
cellently handled department, and
poultry breeders Rave invariably tak
en a lively interest In making their
displays among the best in the south.
Agriculture.
The agricultural display this year
can be made, and doubtless will be,
the most comprehensive and largest
over set forth. The farmers have
grown a greater diversity of crops
with finer general results than per
haps at any other time in the history
of the county. It therefore follows, of
necessity, that with their co-operation
which is assured, there will be a won
derful display of farm products this
year.
Free Acts.
The free acts which will be put on
daily and at night will attract thous
ands and should do so. Fire works
displays and features of a wild west
show will embrace features of the en
tertainment to be furnished in this
way. It is probable that everyone will
avail themselves of the opportunity of
coming out at night, the admission fee
being within the limit of all, and eu
joy the free acts, the midway attrac
tions and the fascination of being ij
the crowd.
Live Stock.
Due to the interest being taken now
| all over the county in the live stock,
; there seems no obstacle in the way cf
having this department completely
1 filled with specimens of great inter
| e-t to spectators. Cattle, hogs, horses
j and ponies will ,3 the attractions and
the eftmmitteemen in charge of this
| department are enthusiastic over mak
ing a great show-. i
i All in all. the fair this year gives
: promise of being more generally pat
ronized than ever before and the fair
( itself more complete in every detail
and to possess more features of inter
est to those who attend. • „ -
Let every citizen of the county, lay
ing all other business aside, resolve
j unto himself to give the fair his at
j tendance this year from the first day
I until the last, each of which will be
I taken up with matters of great inter
est.
