Unanimously Continues
County Agent Cox In
Office For Year.
The County Commissioners of Bar
tow county met at the court house
Wednesday for their regular Novem
ber meeting.
(, litt a large amount of routine
*oiK was transacted, and the fiscal
affairs and road work were carefully
, one o ver. The reports indicated that
substantial progress is being made in
,oad work, notwithstanding the small
orce available for labor. Convicts are
scarce mid growing scarcer and the
aeed for road work of a permanent
character is becoming more and more
iressing. However, the fine weather
has enabled the road forces to make
headway on the Dixie Highway in thq
Adairsville section and on the Tennes
se road in the White section. Both
these highways are being put in fine
condition.
The manganese and iron ore prop
erty belonging to th 6 county and lo
cated on the poor house farm was
leased to Vaughan & Markstein. The
lease of the Republic Iron & Steel
Company expired "by limitatioh and a
better contract was made with the
ormer who took over the property at
an increased royalty and with other
contractual features more advantag
eous to the county. From this source
will be a substantial annual income.
The County Commissioners re
elected Mr. C. H. Cox as county agent.
His selection was regarded as a wise
one, both because of the adoption of a
policy to foster and encourage the ag
ricultural industry and because of Mr,
Cox’s ability as an organizer of this
character of work. Ho has made re
markable progress in this office dur
ing the short length of time he has
been here,,'and farmers and all other
business men have come to realize
that he has a designated service which
results in material progress in agri
culture.
After auditing a great number of
bills, the meeting adjourned late in
the afternoon and attended in a body
the meeting of the Bartow County
Pair Association held upstairs. At this
meeting Chairman Boyd, for the board,
made a special talk which was warmly
appreciated.

THE BARTOW TRIBUNE
(TRIBUNE VOL. 7, NO. 37)
MEETING POSTPONED
ffiß BIG ATTENDANCE
Fate Of County Fair To Be
i
Determined Within Next
Two Weeks.
. The Bartow County Fair Associa
jtigp was called to meet Wednesday af
ternoon, but due to the fact that nor
as large attendance was present as
should have been considering the vital
nature of the questions to*be consid
ered, the motion was adapted, offered
by Mr. Joseph S. Calhoun, to postpone
the meeting for two or three weeks
and directing that a letter he sent to
the various stockholders throughout
the county and others, urging personal
atendance.
The ifresent officers and directors
ol the fair have given their time un
stintedly to the enterprise and are
falling for a more general display of
co-operation. They are unwilling to
longer assume the burden of carrying
the association without evidence of a
willingness to furnish means and help
to run the fair.
It is planned to either adopt meas
ures to supply the association with
needed capital with which to coduct
its business or to abandon the enter
prise altogether. The latter course to
many is an unthinkable proposition.
They point out that the fair has been
of unestimable benefit socially and
materially to the people of the county;
that it is the best advertisement the
county has ever had; that it has en
couraged agriculture, industrial and
commercial development, and the peo
ple generally have profitted groatl>
through the annual events which bate
been a feature of Bartow County.
These fairs have brought many
strangers, within our gates, all of
whom have been and amaze* .
They have set "forth, as in no ot nu
way they could set forth, the great
resources of this county. As one gen
tleman pointed out, Bartow County is
a fair county and has always been
such. In other words, the fertility ot
its soil and the versatility of products
that can be raised here, are such as-to
always make the fair a thoroughly in
teresting show.
The business men of the county must
meet, the proposition, however, and de
termine for themselves whet Inn or not
the fair will continue to be a going in
stitution. Several have already signi
fied their int'ention to furnish addition
al capital to put it in a first class ii
nancial condition, and it is now be
lieved that the next meeting, when
held, will be a rousing, entluisiastiosr.f
fair that will put the association when
t.ts officers and directors can run it
without danger of embarrassment.

Mill SUNDAY TILLS TiUSiDS
IN HIS fIfiSLJTLM SERMONS
May Spend a Day In Carters,ville And Preach
In Sam Jones Tabernacle If Arrange
ments Can Be Made.
The great Billy Sunday, a religious
evangelist of world wide note today,
opened a six weeks’ meeting in Atlan
ta last Sunday, preaching to. perhaps,
thirty thousand people during the day.
An immense tabernacle lias been
constructed especially for his use dur
ing the meeting, wonderfully well
equipped to provide comfort for all
who attend and with facilities where
by fifteen thousand, who can be seated
in the tabernacle, through means of
sound reproducers can hear every
word said by the evangelist in his ser
mons. The meeting is supported by
the solid membership of church organ
izations, and the preachers and leaders
of the various churches are takiug a
most active part in the series of meet
ing*. All other organizations, business
and-civic, have lent their aid to make
the meeting a great success.
Fifty thousand dollars was guaran
teed to take care of the expenses,
which are very heavy as the Billy
Sunday meetings are planned on an
elaborate scale and require a daily out
lay of a vast stint of money.
Thousands from all over the South
will visit Atlanta during Mr. Sunday's
stay there. He is an attractive per
sonality and has. from the start,
jumped Into public favor. In his earlier
days he was a professional baseball
player, and was regarded as one of the
leading hall players of the nation. Af
ter he reached an age whereby his
athletic skill began to slip, he was in
duced by his wife to preach. Follow
ing this advice, and determining to en
ter the pulpit, he entered upon liis new
field of Work with the same energy,
earnestness and determination that he
had displayed on many a ball field
throughout the country.
Like so many men who have gained
renown and followers, he lias simply
been himself. Billy Sunday is Billy
Sunday. There has been none like him

Jones.
May Come to Cartersville.

given a hearty welcome by the great

toric points of interest, as well as the
places of scenic value, and, of course,

j Every religious, civic and business

tance has ever before received.

FOR CONSTITUTION
Specially Selected To Cov
er Billy Sunday
In Atlanta.
Jlih Atlanta Constitution, seeking
he, beat of talent to cover the Hilly
Juftday meetings in Atlanta, has sc
ored Mr. Paul Jones, of Cartersville
ind his contributions appear daily In
hat publication and will continue
hroughout the Sunday meetings.
Mr. Jones has fine talents as ,a news
paper man and is a writer of fine abil
ity. The Constitution is fami’iar with
I)is work and this led that paper to.get
Mr. Jones to cover these meetings.
This he is doing in splendid style and
with characteristic genius.

Mr. Jones a permanent place on its

eration, and it is believed that he will

Cartersville and Bartow County rejoice
over liis good fortune in thus being
singled out for a place of responsibil
ity. and, should he accept a permanent
assignment, the best wishes of hi*
hosts of friends will follow him into his
new work.
FIRE FOUGHT UNDER
GREAT DIFFICULTIES.
The fire departmennit was brought
out last week when a house, the pro)>-
orty of Dr. R. E. Adair, was found to
be ablaze. The roof was on fire but
no headway had been gained when the
department appeared. It would 1 have
quickly put out but for the defective
hose yith which the department seems
to be supplied. This very necessary
conductor of water burst-three or
four times and appeared to be iloter
mined to repeat the performance in
definitely until the firemen decided to
reduce the pressure. But for the
small blaze this might have resulted
disastrously. The city apparently
needs soiqe sound hose.
AUTOMOBILE COLLIDES AT AC

FARMERS BUSY PICKING COTTON
AND PLANTING GRAIN CROPS.
The continuance of fine weather
has made it idea! for the fanner to
gather his corn and cotton crop and
throughout the county the fields are
alive with cotton, pickers and com
gatherers. Prices of cotton have
ranged around 2814 to 28% cents for
the past week. New com has. been
sold in the local market for $1.50 a
bushel but little is being marketed at
this price as little corn is being of
fered.
Many farmers are busy sowing grain
crops. More wheat and rye are being
sowed.than in many years before.
Cottoh seed is bringing in the local
markets $1.20 a bushel and has been
stationary at this figure for several
days.
