PAUL GILREATH SOLICITS YOUR VOTE FOR STATE SENATE To the People of Bartow County: It is the privilege of the voters of Bartow County to nominate the State Senator for the 42nd District in the Primary to be held September 11th. and I have announced as a candidate for the honor. I have been in active business in this county over twenty-five years and am a native of Bartow County. I regret that conditions are such at the present time rendering it quite impossible for me to make an active canvass of the county. I would really appreciate the privilege of shaking hands with, and meet ing every citizen of the county in person, but at this particular time of the year, my own affairs, together with the duties encumbent upon me as County Food Admin istrator, demands my time and attention. I could resign the office of County Food Administrator and be able to make an active canvass of the County, but I will not do so. It is wholly a service without remuneration *tis true, and my duties are often arduous and complicated, but the consciousness of knowing that I am able to serve my country in this time of great National stress, repays me for all my sac rifice. Besides this, 1 have a boy in France, and there are hundreds of Bartow County boys in France and in the service everywhere. They are my friends and the boys of lifelong association, and I count it a real privilege to serve them, and serve my country, in every way possible. I do not believe that the people of Bartow County will fail to honor me with their vote on September 11th., because of the fact that lam unable to see them in person. I consider duty to my country and the boys of Bartow County paramount to the honors of any political office, and I shall stay by my job, even at the sacrifice of a Sena torship. lam past the age limit, and will not be subject to Military Service. lam glad, however, that there is a service I can perform at home, and I intend to do it. Inasmuch, as it will be imposs ible for me to see everyone in person I most respectfully ask the voters of Bartow County to cast their ballot for me on September 11th., and I trust that my friends will be active in my behalf. Yours respectfully, PAUL GILREATH. ACCEPT OUR THANKS- Words fail us when we would thank our scores of friends who came to our res cue, and fought so hard to stave off the ravages of the flames which visited our lum ber yard and adjoining prop erties last Friday. We cannot let this oppor tunity pass, however, without letting each and every indivi dual who responded in our hour of need, know that their efforts were demonstrative of that spirit for which our town and county is noted— and we appreciate everything done The firemen showed great courage in the face of almost certain danger from exploding oil. They acquitted themsel ves like veterans, and deserve every bit of praise showed up on them. Our debt of gratitude is great, and we can repay it only by a constant endeavor in future to serve our patron and friends more faithfully than we have ever done before. This shall be our determined aim and purpose. Gratefully Yours, L. F. Shaw & Sons Cos. (Thanks Awfully.) THE TRIBUNE-NEWS, CARTERSVILLE, GEORGIA.

Farmers Urged To Market Cotton On Scientific Basis Atlanta, Ga., August 29 -(Special.)— “There is no reason to get excited over the coton market situation,” states Commissioner of Agriculture J. J. Brown. If each farmer will retire and hold every third bale, marketing the remainder gradually, the cotton situa tion will work out all right, Mr. Brown said. “It has cost us an average of more j than 25 cents to produce this crop,” Mr. Brown stated, “and the deteriora tion has been the greatest in the last I fory days e\er known. It is now ev‘- denr that we cannot make a normal rrop. “It has been clearly shown that the i American mills will need in round numbers a million bales more 'U jo i; ;,*. year. America exported lan year about 4,500 000 bales. Recently Eng j land ha.-, increased her active spueles j five pen- c ent and increased llm nun- I ber of working hours 15 per cent; so ; that the English consumption will| be j more than a million bales in excess of what it was last ' ear. “From these facts it is eriden that the world’s demand will be more than two million bale* in excess ot last year and since the cron will not b e above normal, there is no reason that we can see to wor-y about the price of | cotton. j “The law of suuply and demand un der which the farmers have been I selling their cotton for the last fifty j years and every principle of fair deal -1 ing, warrants a legitimate price of more the 35 cents per pound for the 1 current crop. “The Cotton States Advisory Market k ing Bureau, through its Washington " statistician E. A. Calvin of Texas, will , be in a position to give out a state ; ment in the near future as to the minimum price at which cotton should ! be legitimately and fairly sold. Through the Cotton States Marketing , Board we have been able to ward off i the savage bear attacks of the last I three months, as well as meet and de -1 feat the advocates of congressional price fixing in the non-cotton produc ing states. We have thus beer, cn ■ abled to hold the spot cotton market frem any material breaks. If the far mers of the South will stand solidly back of the Marketing Bureau in the efforts it is making in their behalf, I firmly believe they will get for their ' cotton a price which is fair, reasonable and just.” Commiscioner of Agriculture J. J, Brown, Director of Markets L. B. JacksKm, and President J. H. Mills of the Georgia Farmers Union, have gone to Washington to attend an important meeting of the Cotton States Official Advisory Marketing Board, which is being held there in conduction w.th a meeting of farmers from all parts of the United States. This meeting of the Marketing Board will be one of the most important it' has held since its organizati n. It will consider and possibly take action upon three important subjects affecting the farmers of the South. City and County Tax Rates Fixed; Lower Than Others The City Commissioners, at their meeting last Friday afternoon, tixed the tax rate for the year 1918 at $1.50 a hundred. 25 cents on the hundred dol lars is to he devoted to the public school fund, 25 cents goes to the sink ing fund to pay the principall of out standing bons, and one dollar on the hundred is-for the support of the City Government. The County Commissioners at their regular August session, fixed the tax rate at $1.20 on the hundred and var ious costs in operating the business af fairs of Bartow County are to be taken care of with this tax levied. Taken together, property in the City of Cartersville must pay a city tax of sls. a thousand, and a County tax of sl2. a thousand and a State tax of $1.85 in addition. There are 8 school districts in Bar tow County which are subject to the special local tax and, in a number of cases, the additional sum of 25 to 35 cents is assessed. An investigation showed that tax rates in Bartow County are as low, and in - many instances, lower, than those prevailing .n other counties in this sec tion of the State.

Harris (Continued from Page One) President’s trust in him through his selection of Mr. Harris for various po sitions of great, responsibility and, fin allly, proving it yet more through his espousal of Mr. Harris's cause before the people of Georgia for election to a very exalted position. He showed step by step how that Mr. Howard ought not to be in the race. Mr. How ard had voluntarily sought out the President concerning his contem plated candidacy, made an appoint ment with him for the express purpose of talking over his purpose to enter the race. He showed how that Mr. Wiicon had candidly told him at the time of his interview in April that he did not want to see the loyal vote of Georgia divided against the solid dis loyal vote which would he cast for Mr. Hardwick, and that he favored Mr Harris He claimed that Mr. Howard, after promising Mr. Wilson that he would not enter te race and would stump the State for Harris, should have kept his promise and thus have been entitled to a confidence of the chosen leader of the American people. His speech throughout was well re ceived and often applauded, and, upon all sides, was rated as one of the most convincing and vote making speeches heard here during the cam paign.

Te plays the bartending game on the square and refusing to supply liquor to some minors at the behest of his err,plover, he finds himself out of a job and drifts into a little country town seeking employment. In this town are two elements —one dry, the other wet. When he meets the beautiful daughter of the leader of the drys, he casts his lot with them and when the leader of the brewery elements threatens vengeance, Holli day is instantly on the job. At a meet ing of Prohibition which the brew ery elements seeks to disrupt by the in troduction of a number of rough-necks Holliday takes the platform and nulli fies their efforts in a thrilling prohibi tion speech. He succeeds finally in putting the wet elements out of busi ness and in numerous characteristic scenes wins the love of Edith Jason and simultaneously makes himself a power in his community. In this photoplay Mr. Cohan is fine ly supported by Marguerite Clayton, Robert Broderick, Pat O’Malley and others. WANT ADS FOR RENT —Store on West Main St., formerly occupied by J. C.
