COUNTY POLITICS OUE TO OPEN UP VERY SOON With the general primary less than six weeks off, considerable interest is evinced in local noiitical circles ove the candidates for the office of county commissioners, county representa tives, and State Senator. There was supposition on the part of some that the county commission ers would not be elected again this year, as it was believed that the re cent amendment allowed certain county officers to hold their places four years. Judge J. H. Wikle, the county attorney, stated 10 a reporter for the Tribune this week, that it was his construction of the law that the county commissioners must' he elected every two years and this berng true the present members of the board will either be reelectd or their successors chosen at the forth coming primary. This is the year for Bartow county to elect a senator front this dist ict and it is understood there will be ror than one applicant for this hon or at the hands of the people. These are the only offices to be chosen at the September primary, but at this time the State board will pass upon the candidates for State offices and U. S. Senator. Applicants for commissions as first lieutenants in the Engineer Corps, -according to a statement by the War Department, should be between 30 and 36 years of age and Tor~commis sions as captains between 36 and 42 The Engineer Corps is conducting a campaign for 2,000 more commission ed officers, the examination board making a tour of the principal cities of the country to make examination readily available for applicants.

ALIENS. There are enemy aliens and there are native aliens. The American who does not do his part toward winning the war, who neither fights nor works nor lends for victory is as much an alien to America’s purposes and Ame rica’s cause as the rankest Prussian interned in this country. This is a war of peoples as well as of nations, and each individual has place and a duty. THE TRIBUNE-NEWS, CARTERSVILLE, GEORGIA. ULY 18, 1918 WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

Felton, of Cartersville, has the iol lowing very interesting comment on the recent conservation meeting held at the Court House in this city. The colored people with their fool demonstrator, had a rally in our town last Saturday—and I was invited by them to be present. It gave me real pleasure to attend, because the war crisis seems to be upon our country and I have been doing my little ut most to encourage the colored men to invest their savings in land —and the women to make everything that can be produced in the home, the gardens and patches. My experience in the civil war has remained fresh in my memory, and we only managed to save some land and nay household was clothed by hard work, with looms, spinning wheels and the saving of everything tiiat could make a quilt, or a rag carpet The time to save has come again— and the colored people should realize their own savings. Mrs. Neel, the president of the Baptist Woman’s Missionary Union, made the colored women a stirring appeal, before the arrival of the governor, with School •Superintendent Brittain and Com- Imissioner J. J. Brown, of tne agri cultural department. These gentlemen gave the colored folks and the white visitors some valuable information on the number of colored youths TvTio have gone into the military service, and of their willingness to go, "and their loyalty I am certain the effect was very good. When the government called colored soldiers by the draft law, they must be vrell equipped, well car ed for in sickness and and given a good opportunity to make good in the army. Right or wrong, the government's action must be fully recognized and sustained ;n matters ot ; .i ch import, and it is gratifying to be told that the colored soldiers are doing pod service, on the bailie lines in France and Italy.

Samuel Gompers says: “There are still many to whom this world cata clysm has so little meaning that they are still pursuing luxuries and sell indulgence.” Are you one of these people, or do you save to the utmost of your ability and with your savings buy War Savings Stamps?
