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.

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 iff . and G. W. Hendricks, ordinary, sll cf CarlfWiila. Ga 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. (NEWS VOL 34, NO. 41) 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. Pfirties intendint to exhibit a*e re quested to notify Mrs. R. H. Renfroe. club chairman, or Miss Clyde Galt, general chairman. Woman’s Depart ment. 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 education.
