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. •Members of School Board ; SUNDAY SCHOOL. DIVISION MEETING NEXT WEEK. There will be a division convention | of all Sunday schools in this (Cartels j ville) district next Wednesday, Xo- I vember 28th. There will be two ses- I sions, afternoon and evening, begin ning at 2:30. The meeting will be held in the Sam Jones Memorial Church. Mr. D. W. Sims, general secretary of the Georgia Sunday School Associa tion, and Miss Daisy McGee, another state worker, will be present and make addresses. All schools in the district are urged to send as many delegates as possible, A iso, Sunday school workers from all other districts aro invited to attend the convention. AT PINE LOG AUDITORIUM. On Saturday night, November 24th. there will be an entertainment at Pire Bog College. The program will consist of a number of features, among which will be a Box Supper, 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. G. H, AUBREY, Judge. 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. * iSku. I (NEWS VOL. 34, N0.48) 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.
