I !. The following telegram has been
■Halved from the Provost Marshal

■noted for the information and guid
ance of all concerned:
I Number seventy seventy. It has de
ireloped that many men reported to
Bh>> Adjutants General of the States on
■'orm 146 A as provided in section
tree from twenty-five have failed to
os pond to the cal of their Local
!<nrds due to causes that relieve them
rom any imputation of bad faith or
Je-ire to evade their obligations. In
mine cases such persons are plainly
ihysically discpialified. in some cases
they are Ignorant aliens who are un
ib’o to speak or read the English lan
guage. anil sometimes they are per
sons living in remote districts who
1 are obviously irrefragible claims for
exemption and whose failure to pre-
Hnt them is not at all culpable.
Whenever such circumstances come
n tlie attention of the Adjutant Gen
end he should postpone the forward
ing of such persons to mobilization
camps until he can request the proper
Local Board to extend the time and
bear such claims of exemption. If the
claim is sustained the order into mili
tary service may be treated as having
been made through error and expung
ed from the record. Otherwise the
person will of course be sent to a mob
ilization cam-p. Care must be taken to
r ‘ trict this leniency to meritorious
case, i n order that it may not result
” a lax response to the calls of the

FORMIDABLE ARRAY
OF DODGE MACHINES
Twenty-five Cars Pass Car
tersville From Detroit To
Atlanta.
An interesting calvacade was that
furnished last Tuesday by the Dodge
Brothers Automobile Company, of De
troit, when 25 automobiles toured
from Detroit, passing through Carters
ville Tuesday morning and arriving in
Atlanta Tuesday evening.
Forty Georgians, most of them At
lantans, left Sunday a week ago bj
train for Detroit to drive 25 cars back
through the country, in order to save
the necessity of deliveries being made
by freight pending the equipment
shortage now being suffered by all the
railroads. The trip was also planned
as a publicity stunt by J. W. Gold
smith, Jr., the Atlanta Dodge dealer,
who had as his aides I):ck Jemison, of
the Atlanta Constitution, and a por
tion of Mr. Goldsmith’s office force and
plant men.
Of local interest was the fact that
J M. Bohler, the Dodge service man
ager in Atlanta, and son of J. H. Boh
ler, of Cartersville, was along, and to
young Bohler is due the greatest por
tion of the credit of the successful
trip. He carefully checked every car
at every night’s stop and made what
little minor adjustments were neces-
I sary and kept the ears in perfect run
• ning condition. The entire 25 cars
I passed through Cartersville. arriving
at practically the same time, all in
good running condition. Mr. Bohler
brought up the rear of ihe procession
and was instantly on the job when tire
changes were made, keeping the long
line under way with on more delay
than is occasioned at the pits of one of
the big autodomes where auto racing
prevails. Mr. Bohler met a number’of
Cartersville citizens, who were intro
duced by his father, and proved to be
a very pleasant and affable citizen and
clearly an expert machinist.
The party left headquarters last
Wednesday afternoon, coming by way
of Toledo, Indianapolis, Louisville, on
to the Dixie Highway as far as Shel
"byville and then to Huntsville, thence
to Rome and on to the Dixie Highway
again to Cartersville and Atlanta.
The parade through Cartersville
presented a formidable array of ma
chines and brought to the fronts of
stores proprietors and employees as
well as a large number of customers,
and the streets were soon lined with
spectators who saw the party leave.
Their stop here was only for a few
minutes but gave ample opportunity
for a number of citizens to conclude
that the Dodge car has wonderfully
enduring qualities.
General to said persons is a deserter.
It is highly desirable from every stand
point that an effort now be made to
round up all persons who are delin
quent in reporting for military ser
vice. It is thought that if the fact of
reward is given the widest publicity
we shall have a great force of police
officers and even of individuals inter
ested in bringing such delinquents
under military control. If, after sudh
persons are brought to a military au
thority, it appears to the military au
thority that their delinquency is not
wilful, they will he forwarded to a
mobilization camp and their Local
Beard will be given credit. If it ap
pears that the delinquency was wil
ful, they will he prosecuted before a
court martial as deserters. In either
ease the reward is payable.
“(Signed) CROWDER.”
2. Will you see that the above in
formation is "given wide publicity in
your County, and ask all newspapers
to print the information contained in
this telegram.
M. J. DANIEL,
The Acting Adjutant General.
In addition to tlie'se two communica
tions, the local board has been in
formed that any registered citizen
who has not appeared can wire his ad
dress where he can be found to the
Adjutant General of his state, but this
can better be pursued by getting in
touch with the local board, which is
composed of W. C. Waiton, clerk of
superior court; W. W. Calaway, shei

CARTERSVILLE, (LA., OCTOBER L 1917
GREATER II BETTER Til EVER
WILL BE JEjim era
With Every Department Full To Overflow
ing And Entertainment At Every Turn
Fair To Have Zip And Pep Also.
The Bartow County Fair opens next
Tuesday morning. There is every pros
pect of a tremendous attendance,
which will prevail during the entire
week. Weather indications are favor
able. The people, young and old, are
enthusiastic, and, to start the enter
prise off, all school children in the
county will be admitted free of charge
on Tuesday morning after gathering
at the park and marching in a body
to the fair gates. The colored children
will assemble an hour later at the
court house and themselves march to
the fair grounds in a body.
Racing.
Secretary Warren Tinsley left for
Chattanooga and Rome Tuesday morn
ing to make final arrangements with
the owners of race horses having dates
at those places. This is the final round
up of a great array of racing talent
and the spectators at the fair this
week will be treated to not only fast
races, but to thrilling uncertainties on
account <Sf the great number of race
horses which will be entered for each
purse.
Exhibits.
Assistant Secretary Henry Milam is
spending the. week on the fair grounds
this week assigning the various exhib
its in the several buildings. It is the
purpose of Mr. Milam and the associa:
tion to take care of every exhibit, al
though the agricultural, woman’s and
r egro buildings will not have sufficient
capacity to house all the displays that
are being offered. A number of exhibi
tors have engaged tents for the pur
pose of displaying commercial pro
ducts and agricultural machinery, as
well as minerals. The great production
in this county the past year or two
has made this a most, interesting Bar
tow county product.
In all respects the fair promises to
lie a wonderful production. Exhibits of
every known agricultural product in
this county will be made. The prem
ium list is regarded as liberal, and
exhibitors have come to understand
that, even though a prize in not won,
great benefits accrue to the exhibitor,
both from what he learns with refer
ence to the excellence of a superior
exhibit as well as the incentive fur
nished to spur him on to greater ef
fort. One woman, failing to get a prize
last year for her handiwork, received
f-om a purchaser a price which rank
ed her work as a piece of art which
came to the knowledge of the purchas
er as having seen it on exhibit at the
fair.
Live Stock.
The live stock industry lias already
become one of importance in this
conn! y and farmers are giving most
careful consideration to this branch
of production. The many arguments
in favor of raising live stock have
taken firm hold upon the minds of
farmers, and the high prices prevail
ing for beef and cattle, dairy products,
as well as the incidental benefits that
accrue to one who raises live stick
Las eaused it to be considered a profit
able enterprise for Bartow county
farmers, so that the exhibit this year
will bring to this department an un
usually large number of spectators
and will be accounted one of the most
thoroughly interesting of the many in
teresting features of the fair.
Woman’s Building.
Women are taking a lively interest
hi their department. An amazingly
large amount of fruits and vegetables
have been canned during the past sea
son and those whose inclinations have
]pd them into the making of preserves
and je’lies are manifesting a laudable
pride in their accomplishment and
will bring the product of their work
and labor and skill to the fair for dis
play. Conservation and preparedness
are still the watchwords and those
women who have not yet done much
n ore than to experiment in this field
of labor will view the exhibits in the
Woman’s Building at the fair with an
interest which they intend shall turn
to their profit. Miss Clyde Galt, in
charge of the Woman s Building, is
proving wonderfully efficient and has
surrounded herself with a fine organ
isation, giving assurance that the Wo
man's Building will as heretofore, be
an object of admiration and a feature
of thorough entertainment.
Club Work.
The work of the dubs this year per
haps far t xcels anything ever done
before. More thoroughly organized un
der the leadership of County Agent C.
li. Cox. who has devoted earnest at
tention and well directed and intelli
gent effort toward reaching a maxi
mum of efficiency, the various clubs,
both boys and girls, will have some
thing to show over which they 'tie
themselves enthusiastic and which,
when the people see, will cause won
der and amazement.
School Fair.
The school fair has never failed of
its purpose. Bringing to the fair
grounds each year hundreds of school
children from every part of the coun
ty, with specimens of their school
work and under direction of teachers
of careful this feature of the
fair is alike interesting to children and
grownups as well. Not only is it in
teresting to the people of Bartow coun
ty, but the stranger within the gates
cf the fair finds in this department
quite as much to please as anywhere
else.
Poultry Show.
The poultry department will this
j year lie under the command of Mr.
i A'a jfer Akerman. Splendid exhibits
, will be made. Those who have main
lained their interest in the breeding
of tine poultry will be on hand to ex
hibit their birds. These breeders have
been seasoned by experience and pro
fitted by former exhibits here and
elsewhere, and the people generally
will not, fail to find hours of entertain
ment in the poultry show.
Negro Building.
The negro building will he tilled to
cverflowing with exhibits of the work
in the many lines to which they have
devoted themselves. With a little more
time the negroes would have added an
addition to their building, but not as
certaining that the number of exhibits
would be so large, they permitted the
time to go until neither labor nor ma
terial could be secured fer a larger
building. Hence, this building will
have quite as much on the outside as
on the inside of it.
New Buildings For Pigs.
The Fair Association is this week
engaged in putting up rather el l.o:-
ate quarters for the boys' pig clubs in
which the boys of the county will ex
hibit their pigs and wi’l be assured
that they will be housed in a com
fortable manner and the public be en
abled to see these specimens under
favorable conditions The association
is spending some four or five hundred
dollars for this one special purpose
and the members of the pig clubs are
greatly elated over the fact and have
thrown a great deal of enthusiastic
purpose into making a fine exhibit.
With these quarters provided, plenty
of pen space will be available, and it
is hoped that each and every boy in
the county having one pig or more
will bring them to the fair and place
them on exhibit.
N. C. & St. L. Ry. Cooperates.
The Nashville, Chattanooga & St.
Louis Railway j:-- actively-co-operating
with the Fair Association. In addition
to the accommodation of good passen
ger service to handle the crowds which
will attend the fair, the railroad com
pany has consented*to transport, free
of freight charges, from Adairsville to
Cartersville, a carload., of live stock
and agricultural products, which will
ie put on dispaly at the fair next
week. This road stands ready to grant
like accommodations to the lieople of
any other community along its line
in carload lot shipments This act U[>-
cn the part of the N. C. ft- St. L. Rail
way is greatly appreciated, not only
by the Fair Association, but by the
citizens of Adairsville and other sta
tions who might avail themselves of
the privilege.
The school children of the county
should not fail to avail themselves of
the privilege of gaining admission
free to the fair on next Tuesday mo, n
irg, when, by gathering at the park
on the public square in Cartersville
and marching to the fair grounds, they
will be admitted without price.

REGISTRATION CLOSES
NEXT TUESDAY NIGHT
Election To Be Held Next
Friday On Proposed
Charter Change.
The city registration books were
opened Monday for the purpose of en
abling the citizens of Cartersville to
register and thus qualify to vote on
the pending Change of the Cartersville
city charter.
Fifteen or twenty registered on Mon
day and perhaps a greater number
Tuesday. The books remain o-pen until
Tuesday night, by which time all citi
zens who desire to vote upon this
question must have thus qualified
themselves. The charter election fol
lows on Friday*of next week. Up until
this week very little discussion of the
city charter has been heard, but from
this time on it Is probable that the
question will rapidly forge itself to the
front and he carefully considered by
the people.
The contemplated changes in the
charter relate to the creation of the
office of city manager, a person to be
selected by the hoard of mayor and
aldermen. The city manager will re
ceive a salary of $2,190 a year and
may he selected from outside of Car
tersville. He will have charge of every
department of the city’s business ex
cept the trial for violation of city or
dinances and the management of the
city schools. According to the charter
he will he selected because of his pe
culiar skill and knowledge of affairs
■incident to the operation of a munici
pality and its public utilities and
streets and sewers and construction
and maintenance of public buildings.
The board of commissioners will here
after he called the mayor and aider
man, the one receiving the highest
| vote to be designated the mayor, but
j neither the mayor nor his two asso
ciates, the aldermen, are to receive
| aiiv compensation whatever. The pr >-
; posed charter change also provides
j that the two aldermen shall become
i ex-officio members of the board of edu
! cation, tints making the latter hoard
! stand five members instead of three
| as now. The other changes in the char
! ter are minor and aim only to take
lout any real or apparent ambiguities
| and contradictions which may exist in
the present charter.
All citizens who desire to vote upon
this question must have registered by
Tuesday evening of next week, other
wise they will be denied the privilege
of exprssing their will upon the merits
of the proposed charter.
Heretofore charter changes have
brought out large votes and It is the
belief of many that, notwithstanding
the quietude with which the present
campaign is progressing, that nearly
all the citizens will avail themselves
of the privilege by having their names
recorded by next Tuesday and on next
Friday coming out to the polls and
voting aye or no on the question.
CHEROKEE CLUB PRIZE
ATTRACTS ATTENTION.
A prize of ten dollars has been of
fered by the Cherokee Club, of Car
tersville to the woman of Bartow
county making the best display of a
varied assortment of articles made by
herself. The list is to include not less
than twenty exhibits, chosen from the
list given below; one article of each
kind to constitute an exhibit.
Machine sewing, hand sewing, em
broidery. crochet, tatting, knitting,
quilt, rag rugs, basketry, bead work,
potted flowers, [Kitted ferns, fresh gar
den vegetables, dried vegetables,
dried fruit, canned vegetables and
fruit, preserves, pickles, jelly, biscuit,
corn bread, light bread, cake, butter,
cottage cheese, lard, cured ham, mid
dling or side meat.
Several ladies have already notified
the committee of their intention to
compete for the prize and as this is
the first time a separate prize has
been offered outside the Fair Asso
ciation, strictly for women's work, it
will no doubt cause a great deal of
interest.

AND STILL THEY GO
I TO NATIONAL ARMY
Six More Men Leave For
Camp Gordon To Enter
Service.
Six more men left last Tuesday
morning for Camp Gordon from Bar
tow county to take their place in the
quota to lie made trained soldiers for
the national army. It will he remem
bered that last Sunday week 84 men
were to leave, but inasmuch as the
district 'board had only certified back
something like 75 men, the quota went
short some nine or ten. Since this
time the district board has certified
six more who left Cartersville on the
morning train Tuesday. They were
duly presented with wrist watches by
Mr. L. W, Reeves and a short talk was
made by Rev. C. L. McGinty, after
which they entrained and were due to
arrive at Camp Gordon Tuesday after
noon.
The following made up the eontin
] gent:
Andrew J. Conway,
i John Tom Jenkins.
Otis H. Fowler.
Horace 11. Blalock.
Carl C. Stiles.
Wm. Abner Jefferson.
Various letters and cards have been
received from the Bartow county boys
In camp, all giving report of the! ’
thorough satisfaction and adaptation
to the work in hand. They have proven
themselves to be real soldiers with the
■purpose to get the Kaiser as soon as
given an opi>ortttnity
Mr. L. W. Reeves, whose graclous
ness and good humor furnished such a
pleasing touch to the exercises upon
the departure of the soldiers for Camp
Gordon about, ten days ago, made at
that time a statement that If any of
the boys needed anything to he sure
! tc let him know. Accepting this as an
invitation to communicate to him their
real needs, one of the soldiers has al
ready informed Mr. Reeves by letter
that he needs at Jeast ten' dollars in
money. Just what Mr. Reeves will do
with this request has not been made
public, but H is safe to say that should
he reply with the amount that he will
accompany the remittance with a re
quest to the soldier boy to be frugal
with it and to hereafter live as eco
nomically as he can in camp.
CARTOW PARTY ATTENDS
NORTH GEORGIA FAIR.
A large delegation of Cartersville
and Bartow county people motored to
Rome Wednesday to take in the North
Georgia Fair which is being put on
there this week. Wednesday was Bar
tow County Day at this fair and up
wards of 150 to two hundred Bartow'
county people made tip-a party to ac
cept the tribute paid our county by
the managers of the North Georgia
Fair, as well as for the purpose of
giving the Bartow County Fair the
publicity that would follow coming
into association with the large num
bers who are now’ in Rome. The auto
mobiles carrying the party were gaily
bedecked with banners and pennants
promoting'the Bartow County Fair
here next week, and from all appear
ances were leaving for the purpose of
having a good time in the laudable
•work of representing Bartow county.
VOTE UNANIMOUSLY FOR
SPECIAL SCHOOL TAX.
That public education is considered
of great importance to the people of
Bartow county has been lately evi
denced by the fact that both the Min
eral Springs school district near
Adairsville and the Five Forks school
district near Cassville this week voted
an extra school tax upon themselves
without a dissenting vote in either dis
trict. No evidence could be more em
phatically expressive of the temper
of the people concerning education
than that manifested by these two
elections. It is creditable and honor
able to the iieople of these school dis
tricts that within their limits ther
was not one man who was not willing
to pay an additional tax to establish
and maintain public schools. School
authorities and the public generally
v.ho are following the course of semi
rnent with reference to public eduev
tion are greatly pleased with this ie
newed evidence tin’ the poo I ■ i.v>r
