ATTEND THE FAIR.
Next week is Fair Week, and every
man, woman and child in Bartow coun
ty should give the Fair hearty co-oper
ation and active support and by all
means attend as many days as possi
l) e. The county fair is designed to be,
and is, in fact, one of the most effec
tive institutious toward the building
uj; of the agricultural, mineral and
commercial interests of this county.
It furnishes incentive and inspires am
bition to do greater and better things.
It has advertised this county as no
ether one thing has. Each county fair
has been witnessed by hundreds of
strangers who go away with high
praise of what they have seen.
It is a meeting place for the people
o r the county; neighbors, friends and
relatives find it a place where com
munication can be had under most
pleasant and favorable conditions.
Everyone should encourage the Pair
There are the boys and girls who have
accomplished much along agricultural
lines and in domestic science. The
school children furnish evidence of
their progress along educational lines.
We certainly owe them the duty to
manifest an interest in their work and
this can best be done by patronizing
the Fair and passing judgment upon
their displays.
Many more women in Bartow county
have done canning, preserving and
engaged in many other occupations
this year toward conserving and util
izing the products of the season, and
this work should be viewed by all
others and the lesson brought home to
each and every one. This can best be
done by attending the Fair.
Farmers have more generally en
gaged in a varied production of crops
iliis year than ever before. It is time
ly because, in the first place, diversity
L needed. We should grow enough of
products than cotton to maintain our
selves. The soil needs rotation and
versatility of growth. And, lastly, the
boll weevil's near approach to this
county makes it encumbent upon
us to learn how to grow many crops
and to make our lands yield abundant
ly of the things that must be planted.
We need to be shown these facts, arid
this can best be done by attending the
Fair apd seeing what already has been
done.
Our mineral production has beep
marvelously great this year. The
wealth of the county has been greatly
increased. Labor has been given ac
tive employment. Merchants and bank
ers have each received their benefits.
We do not know the wonderful wealth
of our county. We need to learn the
fact that an immense amount of un
developed wealth lies beneath the sur
face of the hill country and other
portions of this county. This can best
be done by attending the Fair and
thereby witness what an unusually
large number of minerals can be pro
fitably mined and produced in this
county.
There is vet the entertaining value
of the Fair. This is worth while. We
all need recreation. We need to get
out of ourselves and into association
with each other and with the strang
ers that come within the gates of the
Fair. We need to be amused and to
participate in pleasures that are fur
nished in abundance at the County
Fair. Take a week of recreation, of
rest, or -enjoyment, and this can best
be dune by attending the Fair.
The Fair represents the citizenship
and productive energy of our people.
We should view it with pride,—with
laudable pride. We should consider it
as our very own Every citizen .should
manifest an interest in the progress of
his neighbors, his town and his coun
ty, and right now this can best be
done by attending the County Fair.
Alt the people of the county should
be present at the opening of the fair
on next Tuesday where an inspiring
sight will take place when thousands
S* school children of the county will
march to the fair grounds and there
take charge. Come and see them and
enjoy the day. It costs them nothing
and it will be worth all that you have
to pay in what you see and feel.

REDUCED MORTALITY IN ARMY.
Mr. Editor:
It will be of considerable interest to
the fathers and mothers whose sons
have either volunteered or been draft
ed into the army to study the report
of recent French causalties published
by M. Andre Taidieu, the French High
Commissioner to the Foiled States.
In this it is stated that for the last six
months casualties numbered a little
more than one i>er cent of those under
arms, or about 12 per thousand and
this includes some of the heaviest and
fiercest fighting of the war and in
cludes all those killed, captured and
missing. Concerning those wounded,
he gives no figures, but it is estimated
that from 80 to 90 per cent of those
wounded get back into gervice.
Heretofore in all wars death from
disease has taken away eight to ten
times as many men as were killed and
lost in battle, but with modern treat
ments and methods of prevention, this
is reduced to a lower rate than those
al home and need not be taken into
account.
Dr Richard T. Ely states that the
mortality on American railways is
greater than that of the soldiers in
the civil war and taking the figures
referred to above, the loss in this
present war is not as great as it was
in the civil war. No father or mother
would worry very much about their
son taking a job on a train, and yet
the cold facts show that they stand in
just as much danger, as those who go
to Europe. I write this hoping it may
dispel some of the horror the parents
have on account of their sons being
drafted.

AMERICAN Y. M. C. A.
On Active Service With the Ameri
can Expenditionary Force, Sept. 3,
I!l7.—Mr. C. M. Lee,
Dear Teacher and Friend:. I am
thinking of the past tonight, so I decid
ed to write you a note. We are very
near the firing line in France; we can
hear the guns and see the dead and
wounded pass. The .prisoners are also
brought by in droves.
I guess you read of the submarine
attack we had on the way over. We
kept seeing lights all the afternoon.
This w r as reported to the convoy. A
larger w'atch was kept, and about
10:30 we were attacked. At least two
submarines fired on us. one upon the
bow, the other upon the stern. This
caused the big guns on board to speak.
The submarines were either sunk or
beat a hasty retreat for thev disap
peared immediately.
The weather has already begun to
get cool. The Frenchmen say that it
snows three or four feet here in win
ter, and all the streams freeze over.
I am glad to say that we have a live
Y. M. C. A. here. While it is not like
the States, we enjoy it very much. 1
hope to hear from you real soon. 1 beg
to remain.
Your friend.

KNIGHT STATES CONTENTION.
N
Editor Bartow Tribune:
Having noticed in your issue of Sep
tember 20th, 1917 an advertisement of
a very distinguished member of the
C’artersville bar, and in a most unus
ualmanner, 1 think it but fair and just
that a reply should be made.
It is true that the subject matter of
tlie ease of Knight against Northey is
a one log wasehr of little value, but
the principles involved in the suit are
great, hence the reason for my.paying
a large bill of cost and employing able
counsel to represent me in the prose
cution of my rights oi property.
In the trial of this “celebrated case’*
on the possessory warrant proceeding
before the late Hon A. At. Puckett,
than whom there was no better man
in Georgia, there was little or no evi
dence tending to disprove the fact '.hat
'he pioperty in question belongs to
me, not withstanding the fact that the
same witnesses for Mr. Northey testi
fied there as upon the trover suit th
the City Court. On both trials of ilie
case I proved by witnesses numbered
among the best men in the county that
the property in question was purchas
ed by Capt J. J. Calhoun from Col.
C. AS, Jones some twenty-five (25)
years ago while Calhoun, Barron, and
l were together in the mining busi
ness. That upon Capt. Calhoun's re
tiring Barron and 1 purchased hhs la-
THE BARTOW TRIBUNE-THE CART ERSVILLE NEWS, OCT. 4, 1917.
terest, and later that I purchased the
interest of Barron and the property
became my own, which is the truth of
the whole matter.
The property being awarded to me
upon the hearing of the possessory
warrant I made bond as required by
I th< terms of the statute to take io
-1 session thereof and loan the washer
to my opponent at his request think
irg the matter settled as suggested by
his counsel, but upon the affidavit of
counsel for Mr. Northey the trover
suit was instituted in the City Court.
Considering the matter in light of the
ft.fits we went to trial, not thinking
that the evidence for .Mr. Northey
would be different from what it was
in the Justice Court, anti consequently
not being prepared to meet a wholly
different state of facts as presented
by the evidence for Mr. Northey.
But upon the hearing of the motion
for anew trial I did produce affidavits
from among the best citizens of the
county that the property in question
it mine, the witnesses identifying it as
the same property purchased by Capt.
Calhoun from Col. Jones as above
stated. But the trial Judge taking the
position that I might have known of
this evidence before the trial over
ruled my motion and through legal
technicalities I have lost the case, but
the property in question is mine and
my opponent knows it.
But if the giant laywer who opposed
me and his client can get any consola
tion out of the fact that through a mis
representation of facts they have de
prived me of my property, they are
welcome to whatever benefit they may
enjoy, as I am able, both to lose the
property and the money spent and am
content with the fact that the property
in question still belongs to me.

LETTER FROM TRAINING SCHOOL.
Dear Homefolks:
Amid the thrilling scenes of busy
military activities my thoughts have
been turned to the people of clear old
Bartow, my home county'. So i am
writing these few lines feeling seme
that this county so noted for true pa
triotism is always anxious to hear
fu>m her sons who have enlisted in
their country’s service.
There were 185 of us who lett At
lanta for Newport, R. 1., on August
38 at noon.
We were all from the south, the
greater number being from Georgia,
Alabama and Florida. It was indeed a
g'and trip; going on a special train we
only made a few stops and enjoyed all
O’ the comforts of modern travel.
We passed through the following
cities: Richmond, Washington, Phila
delphia, Baltimore, Jersey City and
New York City. As we passed through
these great cities of our republic we
were greeted with cheers and waves
Bom a vast multitude of citizens.
Reaching New York on the after
noon of August 29. took ship at
1:30 p. m. for Newport, which i- a dis
tance of 160 miles. The “Common
Wealth” landed us safely across the
Atlantic, reaching Newi>ort, at two a.
in., August 30 where we cast our lot
with 14,000 of Uncle Sam’s sailors.
Newport has a population of 23,000
and is a beautiful historical city sit
uated on the Atlantic, it is far famed
as summer resort for the wealthy.
Heie are such palatial homes as E. D.
Morgan, along the ocean drive, C.
Ogden Jones. J. R. Drexei. T. Pearson,
Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt, M. J. Petty,
Commodore James, Dr. Jacobs, Castle
of Ex-governor (’has. W. Lippitts, Mrs.
O H. P. Belmont, and the grand ■Mar
ine Palace.”
Here as such scenes as the Old
Stone Mill and its charming monu
ments, Clift Wall. Newport Beach, and
iest but none the less famous. War
C dlege, Naval Training Station and
drill ground.
Upon arriving we were required to
take a thorough bath and’ have our
hair out very close; fortunately mine
was already cur to meet their require
ment.
The typhoid and small pox treat
ment was then administered to us.
After which we received osrr allotment
of clothing.
We drill six hours each du\, retire
at nine p. m.. and if a fellow is heard
talking after rliis hour lie is given a
light, tap on the head. At five a. nr a
bugle sounds a reveille to arouse our
s’number. Then we must have bath,
hair combed and all of oar toilet eiean
and neat before marching to break
fast .
Some of the boys find it especially
hard to be ready. Occasionally some
of them present a badly bruised face
from having fallen out of their ham
mocks during the night. I am about
the only one of my company that has
not shared this fate. The secret is 1
always stretch my hammock nood and
keep stttt.
We have three bountiful meals each
day, consisting of beans, i>otatoes.
beef, ham, rice, grits, coffee, tea, and
always have fruits, usually oranges.
When weather is favorable we eat
cn the concrete wall between water
and drill ground, and when raining
cur meals are served in the drill hall.
While on guard duty I saw the im-
ir.ense quantity of food for breakfast
placed in the mess ball for the entire
14,000 men, and it was a sight to be
hold.
There is no telling how much this
little island is cosiing the government.
1 am very fond of military tactics,
aid have tried to use the opportunity
afforded me. My health is fine. Hoth*
climate and work agree with me. Have
rot missed a meal nor a drill since I
C ; nie Have not had any trouble with
the officers nor privates. We have a
fine set of officers, and taken /as a
whole the sailors are far above the
everage.
The rules and regulations governing
u> are rigid, though it takes strict dis
cipline to manage so many men.
Some of the boys have come up
“broke” and been caught stealing and
are now in prison. Some are so con
stituted that they enjoy “bumming” on
any who will carry the load.
Asa rule the t boys resend cheer
fully to a worthy cause. A few days
age one of our boys received a mes
sage of the dying condition of his
wife and he had no money; so we boys
chipped in and made up $78.00, which
vas S3O over his railroad fare. We felt
that this was real charity.
One of the most inspiring sights
that I ever saw is 14,000 sailors dress
ed in white drilling on the hili which
is covered with green grass. “Old
Glory,” "which is the symbol of the
nation's i>ower and emblem of her free
dom," waves in the breeze and the
band furnishes patriotic music. When
through drilling this vast company of
men line up and sidg such songs as
have stirred the <fuls of men in the
past ages of the world’s history.
The southern boys are especially
fond of “Dixie.’' They have brought
with them all of the tradition and
characteristics that distinguished their
fathers. The of Dixie” is still
noted for its sticking and scrapping
qualities. They bank on our stability
and loyalty of purpose.
The seventh company, of which I
am a member, are from the sunny
south, and is said by many of the of
ficers to be the finest company on the
island. Naturally we are proud of this
compliment and think we can do won
derful things.
Spectators come from far and near
to see us drill, though it takes some
thing super excellent in the way of
military spectacle to win the applause
of the people of Newport, for they are
accustomed to seeing all of the rare
arts of military craft
At night we can see the magnificent
ships with their fine lights sailing on
the Atlantic. These navigators of the
great deep wave and cheer us as they
pass.
We are dismissed from Saturday at
noon until Monday morning and en
joy a splendid social time together.
The Y. M. C. A. is opened to us at all
times and we are requested to attend
teligioiis services on Sunday.
There are also places of amusement,
such as moving picture shows twice a
week, and games and sitoris of all
kinds.
Have recently received a box of
cakes from home and Frank Jolly and
Charence Shaw, of Bartow county,
have shared it with me.
As to my part, I am ji*-t as happy as
a Georgia boy could be so far away
front home and loved ones; and fee!
that it is a privilege to be counted it:
this noble group of men, who are pro
paring to stand in defense of cur great
nation. My motto is to, “render the
best service to my country possible.”
Trusting that when it is all over it
may be my pleasure through the mer
cies of a kind and all wise Providence
to return safely to a people whom l
have served faithfully, reflecting cred
it upon (fear old Bartow and the cause.
Respectfully.

LEMONS MAKE SKIN
WHITE, SOFT, CLEAR
Make This Beauty Lotion For a Few
Cents and See For Yourself.
What girl or woman hasn’t heard
of lemon juice to remove complexion
blemishes; to whiten the skin and to
bring out the roses, the freshness and
the hidden beauty? But lemon juice
alone is acid, therefore irritating, and
should be mixed with orchard white
this way. Strain through a fine cloth
the juice of two fresh lemons into a
bottle containing about three ounces
of orchard while, then shake well and
you have a whole quarter pint of skin
and complexion lotion at about the
cost one usually pays for a small jar
of ordinary cold cream. Be sure to
strain the lemon juice so no pulp gets
into the bottle, ,then this lotion will re
main pure and fresh for months. When
applied daily to the face, neck, arms
and hands it should help to bleach,
clear, smoothen the skin.
Any druggist will supply three
ounces of orchard white at very little
cost and the grocer has the lemons. —
