VOL. 1 H CHfIfITER WINS 81IBTE OFJSB 10 89 City Manager To Run The Town And Recorder To Try Offenders. By a vote of 138 to 99, the city char- j , of cartersville was changed last F.'day so as to create a mayor and two aldermen who are to be elected December, beginning their terms j .nuarv Ist and to serve without com pensation. Also the office of city man ;,er is created to be filled by a ;., rson of skill and engineering ability ;; 0 will supervise and administer all business affairs of the city except th< schools. He will be paid a salary oi $2,100 which can be increased 15 ~: cent, and may be selected from outside of Cartersville. The board of education is changed that it will hereafter contain five members instead of three as now, the Increased membership being made up u* the two aldermen who become ex officio members of board of educa tion with full power to participate and v { .te in all the deliberations of the beard. The new charter in other respects j s largely declaratory of certain fea tures of the existing charter with the purpose only of interpreting or mak ing more plain certain ambiguous pro visions. It will be remembered that the last legislature passed the act subject, to a referendum clause submitting the charter to the approval or disapproval ri the citizens of Cartersville and fix ing the date of the election on Octo ber 12th. Thus the people have by a decided naj iritv approved the new charter and made it a part of the fundamental law of the city by which its affairs are Vo \>e aditrinistered. The plan is an inovation in Georgia, r other city having adopted it. Car torsville was the first city in Georgia to adopt the commission form of gov e nment for cities and now becomes t'■:< first rjtv in Georgia to further e aborate upon the commission form li providing a city manager of skill :m■ <I ability to run its affairs. The board of n vor and aldermen i be classed a directors of busi i ss institutic ns. much like the direc -11 ry of a bank, building and loan as s riation or industrial corporation. Their duties will be largely to select ; skilled general manager or superin tendent to look after its business oper ations. The election was quietly held, the county fair being in progress during the day, bait quite a representative ete was cast. It ap]>ea r ed to be the verdict that the plan shonld be tried, j and those favoring it believe that ! three good men of business success and ability will be agreed upon by the , people to serve as mayor and alder- j men. the one, according to the char- i ter, getting the largest vote of (he three, by virtue cf this fact is design- . ated the mayor. The selection of the mayor and al- i dcnuen will take place in December. , a; heretofore, and on January Ist Oar- j teresville will come under a changed : rni of government in so far as the ] c\v charter has made changes briefly j referred to above. In addition to creating the office of cit> manager, the office of city record- j er is created, whose duties shall be to , violations of city ordinances, and j it w ill be paid a salary of S3OO a year, j I he result of the election was ac- j cepted on all sides as final and no bad ■ ’ceding resulted or any apparent dis •’' pointment upon the part of those | v lio were not in favor of the plan.

P. FAULKNER TO SPEAK J HEALTH At Cherokee Club Tuesday] City’s Condition To Be Subject Of Address. James P. Faulkner, secretary of the Raoul Foundation, will deliver an ad- j dress in Cartersville at the Cherokee i Club on Tuesday afternoon, October 23, at three o’clock, on the broad and general subject of health, public and private. Mr. Faulkner comes to Cartersville upon the invitation of the Cherokee Club to discuss a subject of more than usual interest to the people of Carters ville in view of the great need of con servation of health, of sanitary sewer age, and of a knowledge of how to eradicate preventable disease. It is hoped that a large audience of men and women will be present to hear this very capable and competent ex pert on public, health, hygiene and sanitation. Mr. Faulkner comes to Cartersville with some knowledge of the condi tions which prevail here. He will, as an impartial and unprejudiced expert, deal with these conditions in terms which will not be misvmderstood. He will hold before the vision of his audi ence a picture of conditions as they really are and which must be met by the citizenry of Cartersville. Mr. Faulkner will touch upon sewer age, upon school hygiene and sanita tion and upon the hundreds of themes and features of negligence and indif ference with regard to the t 1 Umeut of sanitation by private individuals. No speaker could have a theme which merits more consideration from the hands of the people of Cartersville than that which .Mr. Faulkner will dis cuss on next Tuesday afternoon. Men are especially urged to attend. Mr. Faulkner will have something to fur nish them in the way of information. They should prove their right to gov ern and their purpose to serve as citi zens. The women of the Cherokee Club, as well as the women of the town and county, are urgently invited to attend. The matters which are to he discussed should he brought into ('very home.

Mr. Faulkner is an interesting speaker and, by virtue of his know ledge and professional acquirements, holds the exalted position of secre tary of the Raoul Foundation. This in itself is assurance that he is a man of capacity and abundantly qualified j to discuss the subject which has in ■ erested and by which communities | throughout Georgia ha-ve profited. It j is V. lieved that his coming to Carter-- ville will result in plain speaking and effective results. U. D. C. TENDERS THANKS TO THOSE WHO HELPED. The Bartow Chapter V. D. C. wishes to thank the business men and other ftiends throughout the town and sur rounding country for their liberal do nations to the Veterans annual din ner. Especially do we thank our coun try friends, who in 'his busy season laid aside their work and prepared and brought in the beautifully baked hens and delicious cakes. We also thank the young ladies who assisted in serving. Their bright laces ar.d merry hearts added much to the pleasure of the occasion. Without the patriotic and beautiful music furnished by the Lindale band the dinner hour would have been in complete. We are indeed grateful to our friends for the use of their automo biles during the day. All this kindness and generosity enabled us to give to our soldiebs of the sixties the most bountiful dinner, and as they express ed it. the most delightful day they have ever enjoyed at our county fair.

As soon as the petitions have been presented to all who are within reach it is planned to approach Messr- Elemister, Green and Jackson and in dcrtake to secure their consent to ac cept the positions. THE CARTERSVILLE NEWS CARTERSVILLE, GA., OCTOBER 18, 1917 BARTOW COUNTY FI CLOSED AND EIBIW AWARDED PRIZES A Most Creditable Display Of Productive Wealth With Splendid Features Of Entertainment Furnished. The Bartow County Fair o osed last , Fit day night, having run through four] days of good weather, furnishing an exhibition of agricultural products,! live stock, women's work in domestic | and household economy, all of the j highest order and excellence. The poultry show was a success, as | was every department. The racing was the best that has been seen here in many years. But the fair was poorly pottonized, and the gate receipts reg istered this fact to the extent of one thousand dollars or practically four thousand less admissions than here j tefore. This is explained in pait by the fact that out of many homes in Bartow county have gone forth to the war sons and brothers whose absence prevents the balance of the family from having any inclination to celebrate or to take part in gala occasions, in other words, ( on account of the serious conditions o f war. a great many people are re fraining from entering into celebra tions and are economizing in the use of money Still, there remains a large number of people who have never yet co-oper ated to the extent of lending their presence and giving their patronage to an institution which has, all in all, contributed to the advancement of the interests of this county more than any other institution ever established here. There is no question but what great impetus has been given agri culture, live stock breeding and to ver satility of production and to useful work upon the part of women by oui county fairs, and the exhibitions have been such as to register front year to year visible progress along these lines and to inspire those who attend these fairs with an effort and purpose to reach a higher state of efficiency. The fair association stands undis j mayed. It intends to continue the an | nual fairs because of the good they are doing, and it is beileved that from year to year these fairs will, not only i continue to do the good that they have : been doing, hut that they will here after be more liberally patronized. Es pecially is this so should the war end before the lapse of another year. We publish below a list of the awards of prizes and premiums in sev eral departments. Limited space* pre vents the publication of all of these in this issue, hut by next week we ex pect to be able to furnish a complete list of the prize winners. Woman’s Work.

PLEASE MAKE DEPORT ON TONNAGE MIKED Government Anxious To Get Accurate Data Con cerning Manganese. Prof. S. \V. McCallie, state geologist cf Georgia, was in Cartersville Tues day of this week seeking to secure in formation and data concerning the raising and shipping of manganese from the Cartersville district. Acting at the instance of the gov ernment, Mr. McCallie is seeking to get all miners to make reports of ship ments of this mineral. It is known that quite a large amount of tonnage of manganese and manganiferous ores have been mined and shipped to fur naces and steel plants, but the gov ernment’s call for a report as to ton nage was not answered by any of the operators to amount to anything. Only twro cars were reported as having been shipped between January Ist and July Ist, whereas, scores of cars of man ganese of high grade were in Tact skipped during this period of time. / The government is anxious to secure accurate information for the reason that manganese is a very necessary commodity in steel making and impor tations of this mineral have been gieatly interfered with because of the existing war with Germany. Since the war and up until now twenty or thirty ships have been employed in bringing manganese from Brazil to America, The United States shipping board has decided that these ships will he need ed for the transportation of food and supplies to the American army In France and other European points, and, hence, uncertainty arises concern ing the supply of manganese through Importation. >' The government is extremely anx ious that all manganese property in the United States be put in operation and one of the purposes in securing information along this line is to as certain just what is'now being pro duced with a view of greatly increas ing this production. There is no doubt but what thc:e yet remains a large amount of man ganese tonnage undeveloped in this county, and those who have such prop el ty are assured of a ready market and a profitable selling price. With ship ments from other countries cut off, a yet more steady and profitable de mand for domestic manganese will arise, and, hence, it is probable that the public will witness a great in ctease in this industry within a short period of time. The United States in 1918, accord ing to the government’s require 850,000 to 900,000 tons of high grade manganese ore; whereas, in 1917 the production of domestic high glade manganese ore, according to current reports, received at the sur vey from producers, will bo rnly abo;V 80,000 long tons. If will thus be seen that the nation will require a consid erable amount more of manganese, something like ten times as much as is now being produced. Mr. McCallie was pleased to find a willingness upon the part of opera tives to hereafter send in reports and an apparent eagerness to equip and put in operation other mues. Va quantities of manganese ores lie bur led in the mineral district of this county and getting this out promises fine returns. • 1 U D. C.
