‘Bartow County £Making Supreme
Effort To Go o<ver c ßond Quota
Practically every community in Bar
tow county will be visited by speak
ers in the interest of the Third Lib
erty Loan, according to an announce
ment made this week by Mr. J. W.
Vaughan, County Chairman, Already
a number of bond meetings have been
held and the Interest aroused at these
gather Ins have been very encourag
ing-
On Monday afternoon Judge Aubrey
and Mr. W. A. Dodd delivered stirring
addresses and impressed upon all their
hearers the absolute necessity of ev
ery citizen of Bartow county investing
to the limit in LiUrty Bonds. They
stressed the fact that this was no
time for quibbling and that action
would suffice.
Monday evening Chairman Vaughan
addressed a gathering at White and
was heard by a large audience which
respondeed to his appeal for subscrip
tions.
A Ligona bond rally was held Tues
day evening and reports reaching Car
tersville are to the effect that it was
well attended and the speakers were
given a hearty response.
On Friday evening at 8:30 o’clock
there will be a Liberty Bond rally at
Cassville and this meeting is expected
to be largely attended by citizens of
that district. Well known speakers
have been secured and everyone living
within a radius of several miles of
Cassvlllo should take advantage of
this to secure first hand informatiion
regarding the great effort now being
put forth in this county and in every
section of the United States for the
success of the Bond campaign.
At Kingston a rousing Bond rally
will be held next Saturday afternoon
and it is understood that some well
known and eloquent speakers from
Prof. Sewell
Is Re-elected
Superintendent
At a call meeting of the City Board
of Education held Monday evening,
Pofessor H. L. Sewell was unanimous
ly rrelected Superintendent o£ the
public schools of the city of Carters
ville. The action of the board occas
ioned no surprise as Mr. Sewell is one '
of the best known educators in the
State and during the several years in
which he has been •Superintendnt of
he local system he has given
satisfaction.
Superintendent Sewell will select
his corps of teacher within a short
time and is expected to make an
nouncment soon of his assistants for
the fall term beginning next Septem
ber.
In this connection it will be interest
ing to note the fact that Prof. W. F.
Tribble,who has been in charge of the
Pine Log school during the term whidh
has just closel, was this week ap
pointed principal of the high school to
fill out the unexpired term of Profei
sor Walter Akerman, resigned. Prof.
Tribble is one of the best known teach
ers in Bartow county and the high
school is indeed fortunate to secure
one of his ability. He has made on
enviable record at Pine Log and
doubt will give entire satisfaction dur
ing the remainder of the term.
T. E. Vaughan Attends
State Chapter Meet
Mr. Emory Vaughan, High Priest of
the Cartersville Chapter Royal Arch
Masons, spent several days this week
in Macon attending the meeting of the
Stote Assembly of this branch of Mas
onry.
Mr. W. P. Martin of Adairsvi’le was
elected Grand Conductor of the State
Organization of Chapter Mason, an
honor which is appreciated by many
friends of this popular citizen of Bar
tow county.
THE CARTERSVILLE NEWS
Rome will attend this meeting and ad
dress the citizens at that time. This
is expected to be one of the largest at
tended meetings in the county this
week and the presence of the gntle
men from Rome will add much to its
effectiveness. The citizens living
near Liberty Hill Church, four tulles
west of Kingston, have made arrange
raents to hold a special meeting there
next Sunday afternoon beginning at
two o’clock and at this meeting there
are phases of the Liberty Bond earn
ers who are fully aableeeCedtedestoe
paign which will be presented by
speakers who are fully able to inter
est any audience. This meeting is to be
held on Sunday afternoon and no doubt
the attendance will be very large, as
many of the farmers can attend and
tue leading citizens of that community
are doing everything possible to ar
ouse interest
The sale of bonds in Bartow coonty
is making good progresi but there is
still much work to do and there is no
doubt but that the full quota alloted
to this county, which is something ov
er $2,000,000, will be subscribed, if our
people only realize the importance of
investing every dollar possible in these
Government securities There is not a
citizen in the county but who can own
at least a $50.00 bond, as the hanks
lave devised partial payment plans
lhat will enable any one to own a
bond. The Government has also ap
portioned the payment in such a way
that one can easily buy bonds.
This is indeed an hour for sacrifice,
if sacrifice is necessary, to own a
bond, and it is the duty, aud should b3
the privilege of veery citizen
living within the confipes jqf Bartow
county to own a Government bond. The
denominations are as low as $50.00 and
any one can buy as many thosuand
collars worth as they desire.

Of Its Patriots
V large' number of members of the
< nrtersville Council Junior Order of

scores of friends of this popular fra
ternal organization, gathered Tuesday
evening at the court house at a patri
otic rally held for the purpose of dedi
cating a service flag raised to the
memory of twelve members of this
order, who are now serving their
countrry in various capacities.

address was delivered by the jurist
and he w-as listened to by close atten
tion throughout.

on and he proved himself equal to the
occasion, intereseting his hearers with
a speech that rang true to the tenate
of the patriotic order.
Judge A. W. Fite was the next
speaker and his address was equally
appropriate. Because of his long years
of association with the Junior Order
he was able to bring out many facts
which were illuminating. During the
course of his remarks he urged upon
the audience the necessity of every'
one doing their bit for the country in
this its most trying hour.
A quartet composed of Miss Eva
Saxon, Mrs. Green, Mr. J. W. Jones,
and Mr. John Ray, sang very feelingly
‘‘Tenting on the Old Camp Ground ’

Canteen Service
For Traveling
Soldier Bovs
■K W '
The Canteen Service committee, re
cently appointed by the Cherokee
Club, and of which Miss Evelyn Sat
terfield is Chairman, has gone actively
to work, and a meeting of this com
mittee was held Thursday afternoon,
to further perfect the plans.
It is proposed to establish a service
in Cartersville that will enable the
iadies to meet trains bearing soldier
boys, and to there have on sale little
dainties that will cheer the travelers
while en route to the cantonments lo
cated in this part of the country.
That such a service is really need
ed is evidenced by an incident noted
here this week. On a certain after
noon, just after the five o’clock tram
arrived, a large number of soldiers
left the train and made tbeir way to
nearby stores. No preparation had
been made for their coming, and many
of them could not be waited on during
the brief interval the train stopped.
Asa result, they could not get their
appetites appeased.
Under the plan now being worked
out by Miss Satterfield’s committee
the local commmittee would be notifi
ed several hours in advance by the
railroad officials that a certain num
ber of soldiers would pass through

Here Will Be
Razed at Once
The local business of the Seaboard
Airline Railway will be handled in
conjunction with the Western & At
lantic and the Louisville & Nashville
business, with Mr. John Gleason as
joint local agent.
This is in keeping with the policy of
the Government with reference to its
recently acquired control of the rail
roads of the nation. Wherever one
agency can. move the business of al 1
road's this is adopted. For several
years the Louisville & Nashville and
the Western & Atlantic have operat
ed here under a joint agency but this
is because a traffic arrangement, has
alw'ays existed between the two and
their affiliation in a business way have
been very close. The Seaboard Aii
line is, however, independently owned,
but since the Government took over
the railroads of the nation, Mr. Mc-
Adoo, director of railroads, issued an
order combining the business of rail
joads wherever possible. This was
done for the purpose of reducing oper
ating expenses, cutting down overhead
charges, and for the convenience of
the public. Mr. McAdoo has also is
sued an order doing away with the so
liciting freight and passenger agents
as they are no longer needed, as there
is no competition in the railroad bus-,
iness, all of the railroads being oper
ated and controlled by the Govern
ment during the periodof the war.
The result locally will be tin.. iiie
Seaboard Airline’s freight de )>t will
be torn down. The passenger Bains
will load and unload in front of the
W'esLri. & Atlantic station an ! tick
ets will be secured at this place.
Freight will be received a\b delivered
at the Western & Atlantic depot and
Mr. Gleason will be in charge of the
business of the three roads.
Work has already commenced which
provides additional room for the load-.
ing and unloading of pasesngers in
front of the Westside park.
later in the day. The ladies could
provide sandwiches, ice-cream, and
maybe cigarettes and cigars, and when
the troopers arrived, there would be
enough workers ready to serve them.
Of course the boys expect to pay for
what they get, but they are only too
glad to do that.
A party of troopers passed through
this week. They had come all the
way from San Francisco, and one of
the party assured a member of the
local Canteen oemmittee that their
plans would .be a boon to his com
radee, as they had not had the privil
ege of getting anything of the kind
since beginning tehir journey across
post, so rapidly had they travelled
since beginning their jounrney across
the continent.
