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.
