METHODISTS HEAR
Ml PASTOR SUNDAY
Rev . s. A. Harris Delivers*
Two Sermons To Large,
Congregations. f
Rev S A. Harris, the newly ap
noiuteil pastor of the Sam Jones Mem- j
ria i Methodist Church, occupied the
iiilpit of that church for the first time
,L t Sunday and delivered two sermons
to larse congregations. Dr. Harris
succeeds Rev. John G. Igan, who has
been the pastor for the past two years
gefore announcing his text for the
•aorn’ug discourse, Mr. Harris made a
brie f -i atement to ihe congregation
setting, forth his feelings and his pur
poses as pastor. He stated that he was
exceedingly glad to be again in Mar
tow County; that he regarded it a one
of the greatest, if not the greatest
county in Georgia. He said that he
-as a native of the county, though his
home for the most part and for sev
eral years, had been in other parts oi
the state, fie had one charge in the
r-ouni y since he entered the ministry
an( i was glad fo return and again take
up hi- duty where he had some of the
best friends he had on earth. Htj
stated that lie was not, therefore, Um‘
familar with Cartersville. That he
knew our fteople (mil loved them and
many had shown him, through the
years past, evidences of interets and
attachment.
Hr hoped to know his membership.
He believed in calling ui>on his mem
bets and to visit their homes and this
he intended to do at the very earliest
opportunity.
If he knew lvis own heart he-cared
only to devote an unselfish phrposa
toward bettering mankind. He
wanted to give faithful and energetic
'service. He wanted to prove his right
to existence. He wkuteil each mem
ber to feel that he could come to him
at any time for any service within his
lower to furnish.
The talk was imppressive and the
losest of attention was given. At the
close of his introductory talk he took
up his text from the 3rd Chap. 1 Kings,
<he prayer of Solomon.
Analyzing the pravev'sentence by
sentence, he considered it one of the
most complete and comprehensive
ever uttered. With a manner of ad
dress and with earnestness he pursued
had closed 1 ate r> Hft!)9 u L an(l wlieh lie
was pronounced the large congregation
of members went forward to shake the
hand of the new pastor and to wish
him Godspeed in his work and for a
pleasant and successful year as pastor
or the church.

Street all a.t the same time. The lo

one, two or three cars with which to
make the train longer and incidentally

(TRIBUNE VOL 7, NO. 40)
COMMONS WON
BY CARTERSyiLLE MEN
Homer Cook, Captain And
R. W. Knight AndW. H.
Lutnpkin, Lieutenants.
Commissions were awarded Monday
to the 2,800 student officers who for
three months have been studiously air
plying themselves to qualify as officers
in the United States army. Among
the fortunate number were three Bar
tow County boys and these are re
ceiving the congratulations and best
wishes of their hosts of friends.
Homer Cook was commissioned as a
Captain, R. W. Knight, as First Lieu
tenant, and W. H. Lumpkin, as Second
Lieutenant. Thus the three Carter:-
ville applicants received a high com
mission.
The exercises were conducted at
Fort Oglethorpe. Gen. Duvall, com
mander of the department of south
east, was the principal figure. Hun
dreds of friends and prominent army
Officers were present and the manner
of awarding the commissions was
strictly military and hence very ini
press iVe, -
Tito hew officers are at ease until
December 1o when they will take then
places in their respective- camps.
Capt. Homer Cook is assigned to duty
at Douglass, Arizona; Lieut. Knight
goes to Charlotte, N. and Lieut.
Lumpkin to Camp Govdofi.
Some of the brightest minite front
all parts of the United States took the
course and contended for eotiVnais
sieVied officers places. That all three
oi Cartersville’s representatives were
successful s]teaks in impressive terms
of the seriousness with Which they en
tered upon their work.
Capt. Cook, whose assignment car
ries him far from Georgia, and whose
future course is subject to yet further
removal, hhs, for several years been
connected with The Ladd - Lime &
Stone Go. lie has many friends :h
Cartersville anti these will follow his
course in the strenuous military life
which he has entered.
Lieut. Knight’s present assignment
may enable him to make his friends all
over the county confidently expect him
tc acquit himself admirably as a
soldier, as he has done as a civilian.
Lieut. Lumpkin will, for'the present,
be nearest home. It will probably en
able his fellow country mem* to see him
in action as a commander before the
jewiment to which he will be attached,

CITIZENS MUST REGISTER
BY NEXT WEDNESDAY
Registration of voters proceeded
during the past wgek and only
one week r’emifri/ within which citi
zens, can qualify. If one fails to reg
ister he thereby loses his right to
vote for city aldermen or any election
held during the first six months of
next year.
Many important matters are to come
up. First will be the selection of al
dermen who are to choose a. ciity man
ager, into whose hands will fall the
entire management of the city’s fiscal
and operating affairs. The aldermen
fix the taxes, determine what public
improvements shall be undertaken
and become, by virtue of their office,
members of the school board.
All citizens should promptly regis

be governed by the people. Only 75
have qualified. For* the registration

should record their names.

tc the court house some time during
that afternoon.
Perhaps a train crew might be
brought up to the city hall sometime
and the mayor asked to point out the
various ordinances applicable to the
case. To make it more impressive a
fine might be imposed. 3ucix a sug

of proving that foot and vehicle pas

BILLY SUNDAY, THE FAMOUS EVANGELIST
TO BE GIVEN A ROUSING WELCOME
fn ’** v j >* -r
.. ■ ** <rn n ■ *
Will Arrive In Cartersville Monday Morn
ing And Will Preach To Thousands
At Sam Jones Tabernacle.
Billy Sunday, the world's famous
evangelist, with his party consisting
of his wife and children and officers
of his extensive organization of
Christian workers, will arrive in Car
tersville Monday morning from Atlanta
by automobile and at eleven o’clock
will preach at the Sam Jones Tab
ernacle.
Perhaps the heartiest welcome ever
extended a stranger by Bartow County
!>eople will lie most freely tendered
Mr. Sunday on his visit here next
week. No preacher throughout the
world is better known today than Billy
Sunday. Wherever he has preached
lit has made his and has
won men to him. There are thousands
who testify today that they once went
forth to scoff but have turned away
from his meeting to praise him. TbeVS >
have been thousands who have criti
cised him but after hearing him have
been brought to realize that the man
possesses more than histrionic ability
and that he bas a great heart and a
wonderful mind, a splendid magnet
ism, ali of which talents he is earnest
ly devoting to the service of his
Savior.
The welcome that will he afforded
Mr. Sunday will be in large part sim
ilar to the tribute which the iieople
of this county have in times past paid
to the late lamented and distinguished
evangelist, Sam P. Jones. In some
•respects they are the counterparts of
each other. They both possess indi
viduality; courage was a large part of
each qf these men; magnetism, wit,
pathok and eloquence, and an inde
pendence of mannerism in public
speaking cause us to l ive the memory
o'' Sam P. Jones and likewise look with
favor u]>on Billy Sunday,
j There is no need to urge people to
i hear Billy Sunday. They are coming
{anyhow and Cartersville on next Mon
day will have within its gates more
' strangers than lias been here within
! the memory of man if the weather is

The selection of Mr. Knight for (he
presidency of this bank meets with
universal favor. He was born and

been most diligent in furthering all
worthy organized labor that meant
fitting the soldiers for real service in !
the war .
He has been a director in the bank
of Cartersviiie for many years and
largely interested in it financially. He*
has an abiding faith in the future ma-j
terial greatness of Bartow County and i

tion for which he has been selected.

in France*' and the remaining 87 will
go to the boys yet camped in America.
Hasten along your package so that
shipment ran be made next week

disappointed. Billy Sunday never
fails to entertain and, more than that,
he never fails to bring home to the
hearts and minds of his hearers sacred
truths which appeal to the better side
of all who come within reach of his
voice and in touch with his wonderful |
personality.
Entertainment.
The various county and city officials
and leading business men will greet |
Mr. Sunday immediately upon his arri j
val on the public square. Soon after
wards he will go to the tabernacle
where he will preach.' After services

coming of Mr. Sunday on Monday, the
city commissioners have proclaimed

town should clean up his premises and
make bright and attractive, the appear
ance of the city. Perhaps no guest Car

town as Mr. Sunday. During the course
of a. few months’ time he speaks to
hundreds of thousands of people in
various parts of the world. him

The Tribune is ip receipl of the fol
lowing letter from Miss Edwa****’-
To the Poped® rvartow County.
It gives me great pleasure to he
with you as your County Agent, and 1
tiust that our working together may
prove helpful to us all.
There was never a better opportu
nity for each man, woman, hoy and
girl to do his or her part in carrying
on ihis great national campaign'.
The men have a particularly great
part, for it is to them that we arc
looking for the greatest part of our
food production which is so essential
to success at Ihis particular time.
Then you can aid in the conserva
tion of food by cooperating with the
women in showing a willingness to
substitute cheaper food for ihe exp-ii
sive ones, as prepared by the women;
for the women are going io substitute
and conserve food just, to the extent
that you will let them. Then you can
do no end of good by giving your farm
agent your heartiest co-operation in
his work. " v -n v
The women's part in this work is a
very imi>ortant one.
VVe are planning this year to do
more work with the women; and in
order to accomplish the greatest re
sults, it is necessary that you be or
ganized into clubs in the different
communities, that, you may be able to
help each other, and that I may in the
best way be able to reach you.
You will he interested, I am sure, in
the different lines of work for the
women, as the study of foods; food
substitutes, the cheaper foods ihat
may be substituted for the expensive
ones; flour substitutes; home conven
iences; and other phases of work that
are so important.
The parents of boys and girls who
are old enough to become members of
the clubs can do a groat deal of good
by using your influence and encour
aging your children to become club
members. It is needless for mo to
say just what it means for a boy or
girl to be a member of the club; but I
