VOL. 1 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 ton at once tne most valuable se irity the world knows today. f SOW WHEAT. fanner in Bartow County ®uid sow enough wheat at least for mt consumption.

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 ; ful mercantile establishment which ; has successfully operated in Carters i ville for the past tw r elve years. He is j personally very popular and has taken ; ■ a large interest in the civic and mate- | I rial development of his town and j 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. HOWARD E. FELTON, M. D., President County Bojfrd of Health. 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. A. S, BURLESON, Postmaster General. NEWTON D, BAKER, Secretary of War.

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.

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 ti iotic e<>-opera iron of American rail roads with the government, and als-o ti*e tremendous activity of American railways ” Now is the time to aet to safeguard your property from prolonged taxa tion. Invest in one or more bonds of the Liberty Loan, all you can buy. It will be as safe as it is humanly pos sible to make it. You will be helping this nation to win in this war and to skorten H. 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 nent citizen at that place and thus brought to Mr. Pittman the congrat ulations and grateful appreciation of the state headquarters in ■ barge of tiie campaign in this state. Mr. Pittman !a>t week receded a wire from St. Elmo Massengale, of Atlanta, Chairman of the Liberty Loan Committee for Georgia, as fol lows: “Want you to speak at Big 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 4he clipping below made a telling speech, since speeches are more prop erly judged by the effect and result. The following is taken from the At lanta Journal: “Claude Pittman, an attorney ■*: Cartersville, Ga., who address, , a meeting on Liberty Bonds at Do, uu - est.Mondky evening, announced Tues day morning that after the speak’’ ' one farmer subscribed $5,000. and th.u there were many other pledges. 1 * NO* 30
