crusader, Mr. Sunday was touched by

to preach at the tabernacle. The
party will be entertained at lunch by

shown historical sites and the many
famous places in this county.
It is predicted that the greatest
crowd which -ever assembled in Car
tersville to hear a preacher or any
public speaker will be here on this oc
casion. The people of Canton, Mariet
ta, Acworth, Cedartown, Rockmart,
Rome, Calhcmn and Chatsworth, as
well as all -points within this circle,
will doubtless accept this chance to
hear the great Billy Sunday, to say
nothing of the entire population of
Bartow County who are able to be

The occasion promises to be one

THE BARTOW TRIBUNE
(TRIBUNE VOL 7, NC. 39)
BARTOW DOES WELL
FOR I.IC. A. FUND
Cartersville District Sub
scribes $2,500 and Cause
Prospers.
.
The effort to raise Bartow County’s
quota for the Y. M. C. A. fund to be
applied to the army organization of
the association lias proved very suc
cessful, due to the splendid and untir
ing efforts of the committee having the
matter in charge in this county.
Mr. VV. T. Townsend, the chairman
of the committee, planned the cam
paign and successfully executed a drive
which In the Cartersville district alone
resulted in raising #2,246 by Monday
afternoon. The other districts of the
county are yet to be heard from but in
all probability will swell the fund to
three thousand dollars. The work at
Adairstille was not begun until last
Sunday and some of the other districts
did not get energetically to work until
within the last few days.
Surrounding hitnself with a commit
tee of prominent C&rtersville citizens
and mapping out the work. Col. Town
send directed the campaign. There was
not a laggard in the bunch, but every
one, realizing the nobleness of the pur
pose a.nd the great good to be accom
plished by the Y. M. C. A. army work,
entered niton his task with a conscious
ness of performing a service which is
bound 1 to restilt advantagously for the
country as well as the soldiers.
The Y. M. C. A. is engaged in rais
ing at the present, time thirty-five mil
lion dollars and the government has
turned over to this organization a great
task. It embraces the religious and
moral training of the soldiers, the es
tablishment of healthful and whole
some recreation, the teaching of illit
erates how to read and write, the for
eign speaking men of the army how to
speak English and the officers how to
speak and understand French. If
would astonish the average American
to know how many soldiers in the army
are unable to read or write and how
many thousands are unable to speak
English. Above this, how necessary it
is that proper entertainment should be
furnished the soldiers in camp in order
that evil temptations might not over
come and thus destroy their usefulness
and physical vigor.
The Cartersville district lias re
sixmded nobly, and Bartow' County as
a. whole is going to meet all expecta
tions with reference to manifesting
theiT interest in this great work.
Chairman Townsend is delighted with
the progress made but wishes it to be
understood that there are many not on
the registration lists, which was taken
a* a guide, who have yet time to re
port their voluntary contributions to
any -member of the committee.
CAN WE DO THIS?
Use: our Bartow County Public
School l buildings to build up each
school district, have each community
get together one time each month.
What .for? First, to get acquainted,
meet each other, shake hands and
smile; second, moving pictures. What
kind of pictures to be shown? Such
pictures that the School Board wants
that will be instructive and a help So
each school; also give up-to-date news,
social, religious and war news. Tire
above to he shown free. Should
advertisements be shown the adver
tiser will have to pay for same.

THE CARTERSVILLE NEWS
CARTERSVILLE, GA., NOVEMBER 22, 1917
BOOKS ARE OPEN FOR
ciinnißAM
Citizens Must Register In
Order to Vote for Next
Six Months.
The registration books for qualifying
voters of the city of Cartersville will
open Wednesday morning and remain
open for two weeks or until Wednes
day, December otli, at six o'clock P.
M. Bach day from 7 A. M until 12 M.
and from 1 o'clock until G. P. M. voters
can qualify by registration at the city
hall.
This is an important registration,
and all qualified voters should not fail
tc at once have their names recorded
for the reason that by failure to do so
their default will prevent all such from
expressing their choice for members
of the board of mayor and aldermen
at the election in December, as well as
all special elections that might be held
within the next six months, which may
involve bond elections and other mat
ters of vital Importance to the etax
paver and supreme importance with
reference to whether or not we have
public improvements.
The new charter becomes effective
on the first day of January, and the
mayor and alderman to be selected in
December are to elect a city manager,
a recorder, and the aldermen themsel
ves become members of the board of
education. At the present time there
are only three announced candidates
for the board of aldermen, Messrs. P.
C. Flernister, H. H. Green and Z. M.
Jackson, but there is yet time for
ether candidates to announce and such
'may be in the field by the time the
legist ration closes. For this reason,
all qualified voters of the city should
at dice register in order that they may
express their choice.
Needed improvements are contem
plated and it is p --cable that a num
ber of ’matters will be submitted to
the voters during the next six months
ot next year, and. hence, those who
desire to vote upon thes* propositions
will, of necessity, he compelled to reg
ister now.
There are perhaps more than five
hundred qualified voters in Carters
ville, possibly six hundred, and within
the next two weeks each day should
show a large registration in order that
all the qualified voters of Cartersville
may place themselves so that they can
vote.
Register now and avoid the rush.
SUCCESS OF THE LOAN
DUE TO THE PEOPLE.
Ail will agree with Secretary Me-
Adoo that the success of the Second
Liberty Loan would have been impossi
ble without the loysS support and co
operation of the people of the coun
try, and that that purpose was secured
by the indefatigable and earnest -work
of hundreds of thousands of patriotic
, men and women throughout the Udit+xl
States.
Well may the Secretary of Treasury
thank these splendid volunteers and
patriots who made the fight for the
I Liberty Loan. In addition to the
! thousands and thousands of individual
j workers, he mentions particularly the
; press of the country, the bankers, the
■ Liberty l>oan organizations in every
State, city, town and community, the
! women of America, the Boy Scouts and
’Girl Scouts, the business men, patriotic
organizations, co-operative and frater
| nal societies, and other organizations
i throughout the land, and those employ
j ere of labor in large numbers who
| gave every opportunity to their era
| ployees to subscribe to the bonds.
There is something particularly pa-
I triotio in the liberal support given the
: Second Liberty Loan by the soldiers
and sailors of the United States. Hat
ing enlisted their lives in the service
of their country, they have enlisted
their dollars, tco. Surely they are
worthy of every needed sacrifice on
the part of the people to strengthen
them and enable them to win the vic
tory.
CITY COURT ANNOUNCEMENT.
The calendar of cases triable at the
December Term, 1917, of City Court,
will be made on Monday, the 26th inst.,
at nine o’clock A. M.; at which Line,
also, demurrers and amendments to
pleadings, will be di°poeed of. Attor
neys and litigants will please take no
tice. This November 20th, 1917.

ARTHUR REEVES RORI
IK AUTOJUENT
Thrown Down An Em-
bankmcnt and Car Falls
On Him.
Wednesday afternoon at about five
o’clock Arthur Reeves, returning from
Atlanta in an automobile, suffered ser
ious personal injuries resulting from
his car leaving the road and turning
down an embankment in the Allatoona
hills near the spring on this side of
the mountain
Mr. Reeves was alone, having spent
the day in Atlanta, and was endeav
oring to get home by sun down. No
one knew of the accident at the time
but a passing car noticed an over
turned Ford down the embankment,
first going on, but, determining after
wards to investigate, the party backed
up to the place where the car had gone
over the embankment. Going down to
the overturned car, the party were
surprised to find the body of a man
pinned underneath, and when he was
extricated was found to he Mr..Reeves.
He was unconscious at the time and
bruised about the head. He was iden
tified and brought to Cartersville and
carried to the home of his parents, Mr.
and Mrs. L. W. Reeves, and Dr. W. E.
W offord was summoned. Sometime af
ter reaching home and being placed in
bed, Mr. Reeves regained conscious
ness. He informed those about him
that o l>olt from the radius rod in his
car had come out and he had under
taken to use a. screw driver and hail
started on. Evidently this had worked
out coming down the grade of Alla
toona road and he lost control of his
car. It swerved and turned off the
side of the road and down the embank
ment. He says he must have remained
pinned beneath the car for some time,
but does not remember how long nor
anything connect ed with the period of
time he was in this position.
Dr. Wofford’s examination resulted
in his forming the opinion that Mr.
Reeves;’ injuries, while serious, are not
necessarily fatal unless internal com
plications result. He was bruised
about the head and this perhaps re
sulted in a shook which rendered him
unconscious. No bones are believed to
have been broken and Wednesday
night he rested comfortably.
His many friends and the friends of
his family hope that he will recover
rapidly.
EXPLANATION.
4 * "
Editor of The Bartow Tribune:
Our ad appearing in your paper hist
week was copy furnished to lie in
serted the week before, but which
failed to appear for reasons which you
stated to me and which were satis
factory. However, inasmuch as the
government had forbidden the sale of
sugar in combination with other arti
cles, it. placed us in the attitude of dis
regarding this order, the order having
become known to me after we had pie
pared copy for insertion week before
last.
We wish to inform the public that
while this has been a practice which
has been almost universally followed
by dealers, the government has now
prevented the sale of sugar, and pos
sibly other articles, in combination, for
i the reason that a fixed price is made
! for sugar and other commodities and
: sell them in combination prevents
,an ascertainment of the exact price.
; We did not sell any of the articles in
\ combination and observed the order,
| although the advertisement in the
1 pai>er, published late as it was, was
one whksh inferred that we were ready
to do so.
AT CO STORES COMPANY,
B* Lucius Hannon. Manager.
NOTE The above statement is cor
rect. The copy furnished for the ad
vertisement was in someway delayed
in mail and reached us too late for in
serf ion week before last. We took the
liberty of inserting it last week. We
did not ourselves know of the order
made by the government and, hence,
The Afro Stores Company was to this
extent embarrassed. No intentional
blame can be attached to the Atco
Stores Company nor to ourselves,
However, Atco Stores Company did
not in fact sell any article in combina
tion prohibited by the order as stated
by them.—Editor.

NEGRO KILLS NEGRO
IN CORN FIELD
Trespasser is Shot at Night
When Found Stealing
Corn.
Wednesday night at Pine Al
bert Maxwell shot and killed Cicero
McMillan, both colored.
The killing occurred on Mr. Will
Henson s place at Pine Ix>g, where
Maxwell is a tenant. Sometime in the
early part of the night, Maxwell dis
covered a man in his corn field steal
ing corn. He took his shot gun and
fired, from the effects of which shot
McMillan fell and died shortly after
wards.
Maxwell remained at his home and
directed someone to inform the sheriff
of what he had done. Sheriff Cala
way and Deputy Price proceeded to
Pine Log, and, finding Maxwell at his
home, placed him tinder arrest and
brought him to Cartersville and placed
him in jail.
The slayer is a negro well known in
the neighborhood of Pine Log as a
peaceable and law abiding citizen. He
has the reputation of being a hard
worker and is well liked by his em
ployers and white men of that section
of the county. On the other hand, the
reputation of McMillan is bad. He has
been a more or less l disturbing element
in the neighborhood for several years
and had the reputation of being dis
honest
A prllminary hearing will be given
Maxwell upon his demand at once and
there appears to be no doubt but what
he will be able to furnish whatever
bond will be required to secure his ap
pearance in the Superior Court.
JAMES B. UREN ON THE
ARMY Y. M. C. A.
Dear ,\lr. Editi
on the 11th day of April this year,
1 enlisted in the hospital unit for ser
vice iu the army of my country and
was immediately sent to Fort Thomas,
Ky., where 1 remained one week. From
Fort Thomas I was sent to Columbus
Barracks where I remained two
weeks. From Columbus Barracks
I was sen t to Fort Benjamin Har
rison, Indiana, where I remained ten
weeks and from Fort Benjamin Har
rison I was sent to Camp Devens,
Mass., where I have been ever since.
At every Fort, at every Barracks, and
at every Camp where I have been and
seen, the Army Y. M. C. A. is present
and it furnishes to the American sold
ier, first recreation and amusement;
second, accommodations and, third, a
place of worship.
i Under the first of these classes we
have the very best moving picture
shows, the best vaudeville, ‘‘Stunt
Night#*” by the soldiers, and amatuef
performances. These are all enjoyed
immensely and gives the soldiers a
place to go and something to see that
gets his mind off of war, off of drill
ing and marching, and gives him some
thing to do and to see that elevates
and refines rather than immoral pleas
ures that tear down and destroy him.
Under the second of these classes
we have fu n.'shed us all writing ma
terial, all good magazines, jiapers and
bocks. At least 90 per cent of the let
ters that are written home to mothers,
to wives an-i to sweethearts are writ
ten from the Army Y. M. C. A. build
ings and with liens, ink and paper
furnished ly the Army Y. M. C. A.
These IHttrs are. mailed in the build
ings and all money orders that are sent
home are mailed there, and if a ho/ is
on of money and just can't ge f tamps
to write home, otherwise, the f-re
tartes will furnish him with stamps.
All about the walls of these buildings
are pictures of our groat men and
heroes,lnterspersed with such placards
as “Don't forge! mother,” and “Don’t
forget to write home.” While hun
dreds are writing home others are
-playing pianos, Victrolas and others
are singing old familiar hymns.
Under the third of these classes we
have preaching by the very best that
the country can afford and we have
Sunday schools and prayer meetings on
Wednesday night, just as was the
custom back home. This work at
Camp Devens is under the manage
ment of Prof. Henry Wright, of Yale
University, and we have the pleasure
of listening to such men as John R.
Mott and the Deans of-Harvard and
Yale Universities.
The secretaries do personal work
among all soldiers encouraging them
to go to the religious services, it |
BARTOW COUNTY FAIR
MEETINGDECEMBER 5
Business Men of County
Caleld Together for Big
Purpose.
The board of directors of the Bar
tow County Fair have settled upon
Wednesday, December sth, as the day
for a meeting of the men of the county,
whether at present stockholders in the
association or not, to consider the fu
ture course with reference to the con
tinuation of this enterprise, to which
the business interests of the county
are indebted for many benefits.
Letters will be sent forth to the
prominent business men of the county
and the public will be made to know
the future course of the association is
to be finally determined. It is believed
that at this meeting the benefits past
and present of having a fair annually
will be presented in such forcible way
and in such a convincing manner as to
bring forth a popular demand that it
be continued and that it will be sup
plied with the necessary capital with
which to economically transact its
business and to properly present the
resources of this county.
Many of the warmest supporter# of
the fair are particularly interested in
its continuance because of the great
benefits l derived by the boys: and girls
of the county. The various associa
tions of young jieople, boys’ eoiyi and
pig clubs, calf and poultry clubs, and
the girls’ canning clubs, as 1 well as the
school children themselves, have been
furnished with an incentive to do some
really remarkable things and to
achlve some really wonderful results.
These young jieople, moreover, have
found the fair to be a place which an
nually furnishes an outlet of their -
animal enthusiasm ami kindly rivalry
which, bodes good for the future of the
county.
The county fair has heretofore been
a great advertiser of the county’s re
sources. The fair grounds owned by
the association are the most wfonde
fully located of any in tfcy*—"ln
full view of the railroad enteringTaF--
tersville and topographically perfect
for fair purposes, the orig
inally made a wise selection for a site.
The improvements placed upon tWo
grounds have been placed so as to get
the best use of the space and built for
permanency. •* -
The county itself Is what might be
termed a “fair” conuty It has often
been said that no county in the United
States can set. forth such a varied as
sort merit of home produced articles
for exhibit; that none have at one and
the same time such a rich agricultural
boll nor so many minerals of wealth
producing character. Every article
that can be grown in the temperate
zone can be profitably produced in
Bartow County, while within the limits
of the county are to be found dozens
of minerals of high commercial value.
It is these things which make it ex
pedient anil wise to continue the an
nua) fairs, and for this reason the husi#
ness men of the county are called to
gether to discuss what steps shall be
taken with reference -to this enter
prise.
seems that a religious spirit gets hold
of many of the boys there that never
felt such at home. I have known and
seen many young men present at these
services, who have told l me tiiey
never attended church sen ices before
joining the army. I have heard thous
ands upon thousands of soldiers say
that if it were not for the Army Y. M,
C. A. they didn't see what they would
do and that it is the best friend of the
American soldier. 1
It isn't theory or hearsay that I am
relating in this letter to you and the
people of my home county, but facts
as they have appeared to me and
been realized by me in my varied ex
periences at the four stations where I
have been sent upon duty to my coun
try. The Army Y. M. C. A. is the
soldier’s home, it is his church and it
is his moving pisture show and it is
his Sunday school, and is the only sav
ing force of the religious and moral
sides of the American Soldier.
