While Mr. Jones is an active busi

ARMr IRUCKD TEST
IDE DIXIE HIGHWAY
Loaded Motor Trucks Make
Record Run From At*
lantaTo Oglethorpe.
The United States army authorities
on Tuesday tested out the Dixie High
way between Camp Gordon and Fort
Oglethorpe by driving over it six
loaded trucks, which passed through
Cartersville at about ten o’clock.
Due to the great many thousands of
soldiers who are camped at both Fortr
Oglethorpe and Camp Gordon, and at
other points, there is necessarily a
great need for the transportation of
supplies between the two camps and
means of communication other than
that supplied by railroads. 1 n fact,
railroad transportation at the present
time is very much congested and the
automobile truck furnishes an effective
and complete method of conveyance.
The Dixie Highway is the direct road
between the two camps, and the un
dertaking to make this great high
way a twelve months’ road, begun
some two or three years ago,/has
proved to be a fortunate undertaking
for the government in that a great
deal of road work lias been done to
make it of a permanent and enduring
character.
The government has, therefore,
about decided to make it a highway for
the transportation of troops and sup
plies, and the truck test, was made
for the purpose of pointing out points
along the way which need to be further
improved.
Splendid time was made between At
ft
lanta and Cartersville. Leaving Car
te rsville, three of the trucks and a
number of dUtoniobiTes, in which were
at my officers, highway officials jjnd
rtwspaper men, took tlie Dalton or
dohnslon-Sherman route, while the
other trucks, with an equal number of
unity officers, highway officials and
r;t w?paper men, went by way of Rome.
The trucks presented an interesting
ip'iearanoe to Ihe people of Carter- -
\ .'lie. They were driven by drivers
v h understood their business. The
f lisi truck, which carried soldiers, was
an especially fast driven machine. It.
required the best skill of local auto
mobile drivers to keep up with it. from
Allatoona, where they were met by
sf me half dozen or a dozen cars, into'
Cartersville. Arriving at Cartersville,
few minutes’ stop was made, during
which time the soldiers met a number
of the citizens and were entertained at
the soda founts, where they met a
score or more of Cartersville’s most at
tractive and popular young ladies.
The officers and men were pleasant
and an upstandlnng lot of good fellows,
who easily made their* way among all
types and who left a favorable impres
sion along tile route.
The trucks were of modem type and
made both for durability and sjieed.
The test brought to vivid view the
realization that the country is engaged
in war and that all preparations to
fright it successfully aVe being made.
All along the Dixie Highway, lroth
1 Rome and by Dalton, the citizens
and county officials were putting the
rea<frin shape up to the very hour ttiat
the trucks passed over them and it is
-afe to sav that the very best of time
was made between Atlanta and Chat
tanooga.
The County Fair has done great
things for Bartow County. The need
of the United States is greater produc
tivity and just exactly this is what the
fair has been doing in this county. Ag
ricultural products, live stock, the work
of the canning club girls and the corn
and pig club hoys has been a source of
great astonishment to the people. The
school fair, run in connection with the
County Fair, has done much to encour
age the children. The entertainment
furnished, the number of people drawn
from the outside who have attended,
have all contributed great things for
the county. Let us do more than we
for the County Fair.
great results. The committeemen se
lected are from among the most active
and energetic workers in the organiza
tion. those who have themselves at
tained proficienccy in the various
branches of the work and who are.
therefore, splendid examples to the
membership of the Chapter in this
work.
POPULAR IN BARTOW
ABE LIBERTY BONDS
Second Issue Oversub
scribed And Sales Ex
ceed SBO,OOO.
Bartow county went beyond all ex
pectations' in both the amount and
number of subscribers to the second
Liberty bond issue made by the United
States government. With some re
ports still lacking, SBI,BOO of this* is
sue was subscribed for in this coun
ty. The various hanks through which
subscriptions have been made have
not made a detailed report yet as to
the number of individuals and smaller
bonds placed. It is certain, how
ever that the distribution was general
and that there was a display of thrift
and patriotism which does credit to
the county
On Monday the various bank,s of the
county had subscribed for the follow
ing amounts:
First National Bank $32,000
Bunk of Cartersvilie 30,000
Bank of Kingston .. 6,500
Bank of Taylorsville 6,000
Bank of Adairsville 5,600
Bank of Cassviille 1,650
Bank of White 5<T
Total SBI,BOO
This represents several hundred
subscribers. It means that United
States'bonds are being distributed over
this county and that the possessors
ot them will have hereafter the very
best collateral in the world. It means
I that thrift will abound and that sav
i ings of money will be made for the
[•purpose of paying for these bonds by
jhundreds who subscribed for them
:]i means that the people of Bartow'
j county are thoroughly determined tt
j back the government with their mone;
| and their earnings, and that, more am
more people are becoming interestei
in the successful accomplishment o
the ends to be obtained through the
prosecution of the war.
Bartow county subscribed more than
jtx quota, and, hence, the thanks of the
nation, the reserve bank officials anti
the various chairmen have been ex
tended to the people without measure.
Chairman J. W. Vaughan wore a smile
of satisfaction and gratitude when the
result was shown to lie beyond what
Bartow county was expected to do, and
he was especially pleased over the
number of small subscriptions made
-which indicated* a general interest in
the government’s fiscal plans for fi
nancing the war.
AH others join him, as well as the
other bankers, who have earnestly
worked for the success of this issue,
and feel that the result is one which
will not only aid the government but
will be of great aid and benefit to our
sglves.
It will perhaps be some day* yet
before the full number of subscribers
will be known, at which time the total
cumber will he publicly set forth.
