If BOND SALES
proceeding rapidly
County Being Thoroughly
Canvassed And Securities
Being Taken Up. :
liberty Bond sales are being ac
ivelv conducted throughout Bartow
oun'ty this week and Mr. J. W.
auehan, who for thx scouuty is in
b a rge of this campaign, is greatly en
ouraged over the outlook and believes
,at Bartow county will report its pro
ortionate part of the general sub*
-ription solicited throughout the
foiled States. . . ..
Ko investment ever offered to tho
eople contains a greater guaranty of
income, security and
■rvice at one and the same time. The
ond- 1 earn* a four per cent rite of
forest, payable semi-annually ; unless
urchased in amounts up in many
lousands of dollars, are free from
nation, and afford the government a
fund with which to carry on
successful war with the greatest
ajfory power on earth, and at the
ime time to lend assistance to our
He;, Great Britain, Prance, Italy and
assia. *“ * , ■
Heading as we are to the battlefields
hundreds of thousands of
wng men, who necessarily must give
p their money making powers, their
easaot environment, their civic op*
ortunities, and all 'to assume the
a*ard of existence in behalf of ecuh*
y, it is incumbent upon the rest cf
i to ouselves do our part and to
lance this war so that these soldiers
ay be fed and clothed and that this
ition, never defeated, shall again
age a successful war for the great
inciples involved.
The man with property must also
e that it is absolutely incumbent
ion him to subscribe for Liberty
onds, otherwise, the government will
■ compelled to levy taxes to meet the
penses of war. If this be made nec
sary, a levy of taxes will be made
om which there is on return; but, if
inds are issued and' subscribed for, |
e money is thus furnished the gov- 1
nment with a reasonable income re- 1
ived for its advancement.
The >reat desire of the government is
at these bonds be subscribed
i generally. There is no doubt about
t -alt of these bonds because the
ea oanks and trust companies of
e country are ready to take them at
ly time. buj, the government is anx
u> that the bonds be held by the mil
ms of people that make up this gov
■nment so that when interest periods
re reached, the money required for
te payment of interest will reach ev-j
•y hamlet and into every community i
id into every home if possible. The j
an with only fifty dollars to loan to |
le govenment is as much apneciated
i a man who subscribes for a million,
id the government has declared tha4
c name of every subscriber will bej
■eseryed in the archives at Washing- i
n without the amount of his sub- 1
ription stilted, and thus, whether one ;
a small subscriber*- or a large one,
r will stand on absolutely an equal j
•tting with all the rest.
See your nearest banker and at once
inscribe your part and thus do your
ty in a patriotic endeavor to help
)ur country, not forgetting that while
>u are doing so. you are receiving in

CARTERSVILLE, GA., OCTOBER 25, 1917
FLEMISTER, GREEN AND JACKSON
AGREE TO STAND FOR ALDERMEN
Petitions Presented With Several Hundred
Signatures And Gentlemen Appealed To
, Agree To Run and Serve If Elected.
Elsewhere in this issue appears the
joint announcement of Messrs. P. C.
Flemister, H. H. Green and Z. M.
Jackson as aldermen of Cartersville
under the new charter.
This announcement was secured as
a result of petitions containing the
names of several hundred citizens of
Cartersville requesting their candidacy
and tendering the earnest and sincere
support of each signer. None of the
gentlemen were in any sense candi
dates for the positions, did not in any
way seek the place and, in fact, were
reluctant to assume the candidacy, but
the matter was presented to them in
such a way aa to convict them that
•ther*™.* popular call for their serv
ice and that the demand arose because
of the desire upon the part of the
people fo remove the administration
of municipal affairs as far away frem
political influences as possible and to
set ap instead a business administra
tion of thecity's affairs with efficiency
as the great aim to be obtained and
enjoyed.
Mr. Flemister has been for several
years the active head and proprietor
of the wholesale jobbing house of the
Flemister Grocery Company. He has
been successful in the management Of
his owtt affairs; has been active and
public spirited in civic matters, and
progressive in the advancement of all
interests promising commercial and in
dustrial advancement. Mr. Flemister
enjoys the confidence of the public and
it iS sure that he will bring to the
office, if elected, a sincere purpose and
a business equipment which will be of
benefit to the town.
Mr. Green is a member of the firm
of Mayes Grocery Company, a success

; has successfully operated in Carters

SOIL POLLUTION
| OISCUSSEP BY FELTON
-
| Editor Tribune-News:
I wish to call to the attention of the
: citizens of Bartow County, a great
work that is offered them, which the
: State Board of Health has organized
with the aid of the International
; Health Board of the Rockefeller Foun
! dation.
i This great health work is known as
the Soil Pollution Campaign, and al
' lows of the co-operation between each
county of the state and this combined
health board.
The work is to consist of an inten
, sive campaign against soil pollution
j diseases, and to be carried on in the
i county for a period of not less than
six months, maybe for eight of ten
months.
As far as practicable we will nave
an official of this health unit, to visit
every home, white and colored, in the
county of Bartow, and to collect speci
mens and give treatments for hook
worm and all other diseases due to in
testinal parasites.
Every effort will be made to teach
the people the importance of provid
ing sanitary privies at their country
homes.
Public lectures and demonstrations
will be given in the school houses,
churches and other convenient gather
ing places in each community of the
county where the unit is being con
ducted.
Literature on soil pollution diseases
will be freely distributed, and an
earnest effort made to educate the
people, white and colored, old and
young, along the lines of general dis
ease prevention.
An important part of this soil pol
lution work will be the collection of
statistics at each home and of each
family in the county and these valu
able statistics when gathered will lie
of great value to the futuer Health
; Department of Bartow County, espe
jeially as soon as the next Grand Jury
■ gives us the second recommendation
for a county Health Commissioner,
thereby putting hi full force m Bartow
i County the new and improved Health
: Laws of Georgia, better known as the
! Ellis Health Law. It will not only
aid this Commissioner in his work,
but be of great financial saving to the
people.
It is estimated that $300.00 per
month would give us this great health
work. This amount of money we shall
ask the County Commissioners to ap
propriate. This sum of money will be
equalled hv $300.00 from the State
Board of Health, making a total
amount available of $600.00 per month
given to the people of Bartow County,
for their individual health, hapiness
and prosperity. * .
This money would be spent approxi
mately as follows: I
For one Health Officer $175.00
For three Inspectors (£> $75.00. 225.00
For Traveling Expenses 75.00
For Contingent Expenses 7n.00
$600.00
I
county. He is widely known and en
joys a reputation for being active,
progressive, intelligent and efficient,
and his selection gave added strength
to an already strong ticket.
Mr. Z. M. Jackson enjoys jx reputa
tion for integrity and business ability
which places him in the front rank
among the young men of the county.
He is likewise personally popular; en
joys the confidence and esteem of all
men, and is known as a progressive
and active business man who has made
a success in life through pursuit of
sound business principles and earnest
advocacy of all things which promise
jaaterial and educational value.
Tit® petitions which made these gen
tlemen candidates for aldermen of
Cartersville weer in circulation for
practically ' only * twenty-four hours.
Signatures were sought from only
those who* were found at their places
of business at the time those circulat
ing the petitions.called. It is certain
that more signatures coudl have been
secured bad the petitions remained out
longer pad a more systematic effort
made te reach everyone. However,
the number sec if red shows a practi
cal unanimity upon the part of the
people to call the above named gentle
men into service and it was by them
so interpreted. It is for ibis reason
that each one of them decided to stand
for election, however reluctant that
each may have keen to assume the du
ties of an office for which there is no
compensation but to which is attached
a burden of duties and responsibility.
The registration of voters begins on
the third Wednesday in November and
closes the second Wednesday thereaf
ter. At this time all who desire to vote
at the oncoming election or in elections
■ held six months thereafter must reghs
i ter or thereby lose their l ight to exer
cise the privilege of voting.
* ■•JSr'S':...
It is my intention as a member of
the County Board of Health, with the
aid and personal help of Dr. Aber
crombie, Secretary of the State Board
of Health, and Dr. Conner, who is now
the official representative of the Rock
efeller Foundation in Georgia, of ask
ing the County Commissions at their
regular meeting on Wednesday, De
cember sth, 1917, to give this needed
attention to the • people of Bartow
County, and ask them to help us put
this great work in our home county,
to begin by January first if possible,
with only a very small appropriation
of the county’s money.
1 am sure if all the people realized
the value of this opportunity for the
conservation of their health aritl hap
piness, (for without health there is no
happiness to the individual or the
community), there would he no dis
senting voice, and every one would be
in full accord with this wonderful
work that is offered to us so cheaply.
I would be very glad and trust every
physician in the county will write me
a strong letter if they approve of this
work. I will present all to the Com
missioners showing them the opinion
of the physicians of the county on
this subject.

CHRISTMAS MAIL FOR AMERI
CAN FORCES ABROAD.
Washington, D. C„ Oct. 0, 1017.
To the Public:
! . The time is approaching to give;
ithought to bringing Christmas cheer!
;to the American soldiers and sailors!
;abroad. 1
Arrangements have been perfected
whereby the Christmas mail to the
American Expeditionary Forces in
Europe is to be delivered by Christ
mas morning. Without the fullest co
operation on the part of the public
it will be impossible to accomplish
this result.
The three essential respects in
which the public can aid in assuring
a happy Christmas at the front are:
Mai! early, address intelligently, and
pack securely. For this reason it is
urgently requested that all persons
having Christmas mail for the soldiers
and sailors and the civilian units at
tached to the army in Europe observe
closely the following directions:
1. Mail to reach the soldiers in
France by Christmas morning must
be posted not later than November 15.
2. Every package must bear con
spicuously the words “Christmas
Mail.” the complete address of the
person for whom it is intended, find,
in the upper left-hand corner, the
name and address of the sender.
3. Every parcel must be so packed
and wrapped as to admit of easy in
spection by the postmaster. No par
cel will be dispatched to Franco which j
has not the postmaster's certificate
that it contains no prohibited articles.

FOR AID
Organization Doing A
Great Work Among Sol
diers Of Army.
Next Sunday afternoon at one of
the churches to be announced during
the week and on Sunday morning
from the pulpits in Cartersville, a
meeting will be held for the purpose
of perfecting an organization looking
to the 1 . M. C. A. organization in the
army.
The work of the Y. M. C A. hi
the army is of a vast and comprehen
sive charactef. The government has,
itt fact, turned over to the Y. M. C.
A. many departments outside of the
nloral and religious teaching furnish-*
cd the soldiers. For instance, the
illiterates in the. army are taught to
read; the foreign speaking tongues
are taught to speak English: the
'French language is taught to the of
ficers of the army; wholesome and
good entertainment is furnished the
soldiers. And thus in all these ways
the proper physical, moral and in
tellectual development of the men of
the arthy comes under the direct su
pervision and control of the Y. M.
C. A. ...
* To bring about all these various
lines of activity to a successful end'
it is found necessary to raise a prodi
gious sum of money. Thirty-five mil
lions dollars is to be raised through
out the United States and of this
amount five hundred thousand dol
lars is to he raised in Georgia.
Mr. Ulrich B. Phillips, associate di

RAILROADS AID IN NATION’S
EFFORTS.
With Co-operation of Shipper* and
Public an Increase of 15 Per Cent
in Service Noted.
While the Railroads’ War Board j
has been in existence only six
mouths, the returns at hand show
that during that period the railroads
©i the country have rendered up
wardsl of fifteen per cent more serv
ice than they did during the same
period last year, and with practically
the same equipment.
The outstanding (feature of the
present situation is the degree .to
which the railroads arc co-operating
with one another and .with the War
Board in the. effort *to produce a
max-mum of transportation effi
ciency.
In this work of furthering the Na
t:on’s efforts 093 railroads' have
merged their Competitive activities
for the period of the war, and have
welded into one oyal army 1,750,000
persons employed (by the roads —from
engine-wiper to president. The co
ordination of the nation's carriers
has made possible the most intensive
use of every locomotive, every freight
car. every mile of track and every
piece of railroad equipment in the
country. This co-ordination of serv
ice has also 'facilitated the secur
ing of co-operation from the ship
pers and the general public without
which these results could not have
been obtained.
These results hafe been noted nok
uithstanding the fact that returns
to the War Board show that the ac
tual number of rat- and locomotives
now in service.'hi American rairlo&ds
is only slightly in excess of the
number at this time last year.
The railroads in the South are do
ing their full -hare in this work and
are included in t!tc complimentary
reference made by Secretary of War
linker in his report on the handling
troops., when he says:
"T his strikingly illustra.es the pa

FAULKNER SPEAKS
ON PUBLIC HEALTH
An Eloquent Address De
li vered Which Was
Warmly Appreciated.
Before a small audience at the
Cherokee Club on Tuesday afternoon
Dr. J as. P. Faulkner, Secretary of the
Raoul Foundation for Georgia, made
'an address, which for information,
for sound reasoning, logic and elo
quence, has not been equaled in Car
tcrsville in many years. Dr. Faulk
ner, during {he morning addressed
the East and West schools, holding
the interest of the children *s few
speakers can, and leaving them with
a knowledge, and a purpose to bring
-*bout, cleanliness and beauty in their
Surroundings.
Dr. Faulkner was invited to Car
tersyilie by the ladies of th Cherokee
club tQ discuss health and sanitation.
The city officials were invited to at
tend but none answered present not
withstanding the vital nature of the
theme discussed and notwithstanding
the great need of Cartersville for tl*
very information which Dr. Faulk
ner was so well equipped to furnish.
The men were generally invited but
only three men, of these one doctor
(only one doctor),-felt sufficient -
terest in the conservation of huM*.
life in Cartersville, to manifest a dfe
sue to learn something. The size of
the audience was a damning reflec
tion upon the indifference of Carters
yille citizens, both with reference to
ignorance concerning Dr. Faulkner’s
superior qualifications as an author
ity on health and scientific sanitation
and as a speaker of wonderful power.
Nevertheless those who attended
will long remember the speaker and
his theme. The audience that at
tended was small but it was an ap
preciative one. The speaker spoke as
if lie was being heard by every citi
v.vm m' Cartersville, by every member
of every family in Cartersv-ille, from
the youngest child to the grand pa
rents. "•
He would, he. said, destroy weeds.
An j- otu- who would permit weeds
tu -rotv in his yard would permit tin
cans, bottles and all kinds of rub
bish to exist ipdiscriminately in his
yard. Any town that would permit
it would do the same. Show a town
where weeds are permitted to grow
and he would show a town where
filth and rubbish were licensed,to ex
ist everywhere.
He would destroy surface closets.
He would screen manure collections.
These are the breeding places of mos
quitoes and Hies, and these carry ty
phoid and 'malaria. He told of how
Havana was made free of yellow
fever and how the Panama Canal was
made more healthy than East Orange.
New Jersey, the healthiest town in
the United States, according to gov
ernment statistics as to death rate,
the canal zone showing a third less
deaths than the New Jersey city.
He would have water sewage and
a pure water supply. He advocated
not only sanitation hut scientific Sart
itaton.
He wort Id stop spitting' on streets
and public places and to-ld how many
ways disease is transmitted because
we permitted this nuisance.
We would have cleanliness and
beauty. Everything that was ugly
was dangerous and unhealthy. He
claimed that beauty, when brought
about, made for -public health, noble
'aims and high uprpose; .
j Throwing into his address many in
cidents of a personal nature and ex
perience Dr. Faulkner svas frequently
able to furnish both pathos and fun
to an address which, from every
standpoint, was excellent. His return
is eagerly sought by all who heard
him on some future occasion, when
it is hoped that Cartersville men and
women will, at least pretend to be
interested in public health and sani
tation.
CLAUDE PITTMAN SPEAKS AT
DEMOREST FOR LIBERTY
BONDS.
Claude C. Pittman ha£ been “do ;, :g
his bit” in making the Liberty Bond
issue a success and his address made
at Demorest, Ga.. was followed b. a
subscription upon the part of a promi

brought to Mr. Pittman the congrat

the state headquarters in ■ barge of

Mr. Pittman !a>t week receded a
wire from St. Elmo Massengale, of
Atlanta, Chairman of the Liberty

Mass Meeting at Detnorest Monday
night at eight o’clock, eastern time.’’
Mr. Pittman responded, met a large
gathering and as will be seen from

speech, since speeches are more prop
