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.

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** (NEWS VOL. 34, NO, 40) BRILLIANT PhBSPLCT ABEAD FOR A GREAT COUNTY FAIR .■ ( ('\ l -- i *' ~ Ali Departments Busy And Big Crowds.

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.

She has been taken to Rome to a pri vate hospital and is in care of Dr. Har bin.

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.
