Ln the rules governing: The Tribune-News’ Subscrip
tion Drive, in our first announcement, issue of January
30th, we stated:
“THIS CONTEST OPENS JANUARY 30TH. IT

'Notice of extension was mailed all candidates in
this race March 12th. THE TRIBUNE-NEWS WISH
ES TO ADVISE ALL CANDIDATES, AND THE GEN
ERAL PUBLIC THAT THIS CAMPAIGN WILL POS
ITIVELY CLOSE WEDNESDAY, APRIL 9TH, AT
1:30 P. M. (Note the CLOSING HOUR is changed
from 3:30 P. M. to 1:30 P. M.)
A HOT FIGHT
A real hot fight was waged during the week March 4th-
March 11th. This was TRIPLE VOTE WEEK, and during this
period subscriptions counted heavier than at any time during
the race. Subscriptions just simply rolled in, and there was not
a candidate in the list that did not put forth the* most extraor
dinary of efforts:
DOUBLE VOTE SCHEDULE NOW ON
In order that there may be no misunderstanding or room
for argument, we print below the vote schedule for the BAL
ANCE of the race. The campaign now enters upon the “Double
Vote Period.” This period will be. in effect FROM MARCH
11TH, 3:30P. M. UNTIL MARCH 25TH, 3 :30 P, M.. How
ever the BONUS VOTES ALLOWED during the first week of
the two week’s DOUBLE VOTE PERIOD will make subscrip
tions TURNED IN DURING THE WEEK OF MARCH 11TH,
3:30 P. M. UNTIL MARCH 18TH, 3:30 P. M. COUNT MORE
THAN ANY TIME DURING THE BALANCE OF THE RACE.
Likewise from March 18th. 3:30 P. M. until March 25th, 3:30
P. M. subscriptions will COUNT MORE than during the period
following. AND DURING THE CLOSING WEEK OF THE
RACE EACH SUBSCRIPTION PAYMENT COUNTS STILL,
LESS IN THE WAY OF VOTES.
Vote giving values of subscriptions taken by candidates
ARE BASED ON THE WEEK DURING SUB
SCRIPTIONS ARE TURNED IN TO THE TRIBUNE-NEWS.
Therefore IT DOES NOT PAY A CANDIDATE TO HOLD
BACK ANY SUBSCRIPTIONS “UNTIL THE LAST WEEK.”
In fact, it injures a candidate. TURN IN YOUR CASH AND
SUBSCRIPTIONS, BUT KEEP YOUR VOTING CERTIFI
CATES BACK UNTIL THE LAST DAY IS THE WISEST
POLICY.
MISS MOSTELLER WON $5
Adairsville section comes to the front with a rush this
week, and Miss Ethel Mosteller takes the lead, and also is the
winner of the $5 in cash offered the candidate turning in the
' greatest amount of cash subscription business for the period

THE CARTERSVILLE NEWS
ARTHUR MOORE, FAMOUS EVANGELIST,
WILL CONDUCT TABERNACLE MEETINGS
*
| Singing Will Be In Charge of Rev. O. W. Stapleton, Who Is
Also Well-Known—lmportant Announcement Made By
Committee, Which Met At Home of J. B. Foster.
Rev. Arthur J. Moore, known
throughout the state, and the South
for that matter, as one of the most
able and eloquent evangelists develop
■ ed in recent years, will have charge of
; the Tabernacle meetings this year,
which begin Sunday, July 27th, and
continue for at least two weeks. With
| him will come Rev. O. W. Stapleton,
* whose splendid voice lias been heard in
this section with great pleasure. His
t 1
ability as an organizer of real sing
ing choirs is too well known for any
elaboration.
News of the coining of this team of
gospel workers should inspire the
committee and their co-workers to
have, the greatest meeting in the his
tory of the Tabernacle, in July of this
\ ear.
In “Y” Work
For the past .vear or more. Arthur
1 Moore has been doing special work as a
, V. M. C. A. worker among the boys in
the camps, and his voice has been lifted
on every occasion for the cause of
Christ vshom he so ably brings to his
| hearers. He is a Georgia boy. and his
rapid rise to a place as one of the
greatest evangelists the South ever
produced has been nothing short of
marvelous. Wherever he goes, his meet
ings are successful, because he is so
filled with the spirit of the living Christ
that he makes men and women see the
error of their way, and turn to the
Man r*f Galilee.
The Tabernacle committee is to be
congratulated in securing the services
of such an able team as Moore and
Stapleton are known to be, and that
success will attend the efforts of the
forthcoming meeting goes without saj
| ing.

The Tabernacle Committee met about
a month ago and appointed the Pulpit
Committee, composed of the pastors of
the city, as follows: Rev. S. A. Harris,
j Rev. C. L. McGinty. Rev. E. G. H imes,

STRIKE OF CLERKS
NOT YET ENDED
LOCAL OFFICES OF N. C. & ST. L.
NOT RECEIVING FRIEGHT AND
BUSINESS IS AT A STANDSTILL
—CLERKS CONFIDENT VERDICT
WILL BE IN THEIR FAVOR.
A strike, ordered by the Brotherhood
;of Railway Clerks, has tied up traffic
over the Nashville. Chattanooga and St.
Louis Railway system, which includes
tiie Western & Atlantic Railroad, and
more than 2,200 men. it is claimed, have
left their jobs because the Railroad Ad
ministration have refuse* to dismiss
A. P. Federal Auditor, at
Xasfeville.
Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock every
clerk on the road, including something
like 3,200 in the general offices at
Nashville, walked out. At Cartersville
the railway offices weer left with only
Mr. J. G. Gleason, local agent, and Carl
Wheeler, operator, in charge. Thus, in
one minute of time Mr. Gleason was
bereft of his entire organization. This
exact thing happened at eatery station
anti sloping point of the entire system.
For a time the local agents .and execu
tive heads undertook to .manage the
situation by doing as mucfh work as
possible in forcing freight movements.
But it was soon found out that their
efforts were to no avail and itence only
one freight train, contaiiitg six cars
of perishable freight has moved front
Atlanta to Chattanooga.
That the public may understand the
effect of the walk-out. it can be stat
ed that no freight can be nec aired for
delivery, nothing can be delivered, no
records can be made out, no reports
of the business can be made, atari on
Thursday the conductors had to collect
cash fares from all paseogers, ttaere
being no one to sell tickets. About the
lonliest and quietest place to be found
anywhere at the present time is a
railroad freight office or depot on the
N. C. & St. L. System.
The results of the strike, if prolong
ed for a few days will Ue an utter par
alysis of trade. Nothing can be shipped
in over the W. & A. nor can anything
be sent oul. Train conductors are hav
ing a "busy day" taking more than ten
times as long to work a train collect
ing fares and making change as it does
when only tickets are collected.
It is also said that cars loaded with
freight for delivery to other lines, or
by lines to be delivered over the W.
A A. cannot be delivered as the em
ployees of other railroad divisions
“sympathetically” are aiding the strik
ers by refusing to handle such cars.
In the meantime, officials for both
the railroads and the brotherhood are
negotiating, but are yet as far apart
■jfa ever. The Brotherhood is insisting
that A. P. Ottarsno, the Federal Audi
tor. has been arbitrary in his decisions
with reference to the rights claimed by
the clerks; that he has refused to grant
them vacations a *ordred by the Di
iCooLnaed on -n.".

BARKOOT SHOWS
HERE NEXT WEEK
ON THE STREETS
A HISTORY OF THE CARNIVAL
CONCRETELY SET FORTH
T3ie show such as presented by the
K. G. Barlcoot shows, which will ap
, pear in Cartersville, week of March 17,
is the typical American amusement.
It has the nervous energy and impos
ing features that savor of the soilfl, and
has lifted into greater importance than
all others the name carnival. It is an
institution that builds a distinct town
every week. It employs nearly 300 peo
ple. who have to be paid a wage that
will more than sustain them. To give
the readers an idea of the magnitude of
this show, we have had Mr. W. 11.
Brownell, a representative of the
show, write a history o fthe carnival
business. It is often said that a show
coming to town takes all the money out
and leaves nothing. After reading this
we leave it to the reader to judge for
his sir herself the result. First, on decid
ing to play Cartersville, the general
agent visited this city and had to re
main a couple of days completing ar
rangements. He. of course, had to live
in a hotel. Then came the advertising
crew, which looked after the advertis
ing. They had to be fed and sleep, from
which the hotels again benefited as well
as the liveryman who hauled them.
Then •comes the second agent, who con
tracts for the ground, water, provis
ions, lights, etc., to be followed by the
■show itself, consisting of twenty-two
cars, from which the railroad company
derive* a nice revenue. Then comes the
hauling to the grounds, which is done
with local learns, usuajly about twenty.
The electric light company furnishes
he lights, which gives extra employ
ment, and there is this large crowd of
people who must live during the
week’s engagement. They go to the va
rious hotels, rooming and boarding
houses, restaurants, Trom which the
grocer, butcher, bak-r, drygoods mer
chant, laundry, drug store, drayman,
electrician, engineer, in< fact, about
every industry in Cartersville benefits.
I realize that you, dear reader, will
say, "Well, this money spent by the
show must come from the people of
Cartersville. Not necessarily. Sup
pose it should rain or be cold all week
—the people mast live. Then suppose it
should be nice. An attraction of this
kind brings people to town from the
surrounding ountry, which will benefit
the merchant. Cartersville is advertis
ed on all sides for a distance of ten
miles. The capital invested in the K. G.
Barkoot shows is tremendous- All the
cars belong to the management, and
they are made better than those in
regular service of railways, been use
in show movements every precaution
must oe taken to prevent accident and
avoid delay which would cost mone^.

T. W. TINSLEY CHOSEN PRESIDENT
BARTOW COUNTY FAIR ASSOCIATION
O. T. Peeples, Vice-President and H. C. Stiles, Secretary—
Outlook Is Very Bright for Most Successful Fair in
County’s History This Fall
The stockholders of the Bartow County Fair Association
met at the Court House, Thursday, a representative quorum of
the shareholders being present, or represented by proxy.
President W. A. Jackson called upon Mr. Jos. S. Calhoun
to act for him in presiding over the meeting, which quickly
got down to business. The report of Mr. Tinsley, as secretary,
showed the results of last year’s fair. Noth withstanding the
pi e\alence oi the llu and the pendency ot the war and dimin
ished gate receipts as a consequence, Mr. Tinsley showed a
small margin of receipts over disbursements. The report be
ing under discussion many stockholders expressed their entire
satisfaction and their belief that the fair this year will be a
great success.
The past year was considered the worst year known to
fairs throughout the country, the Bartow County Fair being
alone in showing an excess of receipts over disbursements,
with the possible exception of the Southeastern Fair in Atlanta.
Many county fairs for last year were abandoned altogether,
while those that went ahead with their anual events lost
money. One reason assigned why our fair turned out so well
was the great cut made in the expense of conducting it. The re
ceipts were small as compared to former years but the operat
ing expense was much smaller and every form of economy was
resorted to to make it successful. And yet a good show' was
furnished and much permanent good done the county.
There remains some unpaid stock subscriptions which
were turned over to Mr. W. C. Henson to collect, so that the
Fair may start with a balance on‘hand this year.
The following board of directors were unanimously elect
ed : Dr. R. E. Adair, T. W. Tinsley, P. C. Flemister, W. A. Jack
son and H. C. Stiles.
A rising vote of thanks was tendered President W. A.
Jackson and Secretary T. W. Tinsley for faithful and intelli
gent service performed by them as the officers of the Associa
tion. . v '
At a meeting of the directors held this week, Mr. T. W.
I msley was elected president, O. T. Peeples, vice-president
and H. C. Stiles, secretary. Of these offices the most import
ant is Ihat of Secretary and the selection of Mr. Stiles is uni
versally regarded as a happy and wise one. He will at once
lake up the matter of arranging for this year’s fair and his
work and active efforts will certainly result in bringing about a
world beater in the way of fairs and a successful administra
tion of a job of great detail.
Mr. Stiles will be furnished with the co-operation of every
branch of business interests in the county and solicits help
from every source.

Mr. Walter Akerman, of ibis city,

j urday from France, where he has been

i viewed by a reporter for the Tribune
i News ssr id:
First, 1 want to say tliat I am so
I glad to get home that 1 can think of
| nothing else. I am only on leave as 1
: have been transferred to transport ser
j vice and will go back and forth from
, New York to some French port and will

furnishing entertainment to the sol
diers on the way home. I will probably
be here about two weeks until I can get
my passports renewed.
"I have had to work very hard, but
have had a wonderful experience and

are simply wonderful and I have never
had a soldier to say an unkind word to
me in France and whereever l have

and a kind word.
Criticism Unjust
“I was very much surprised to hear
ome adverse comment on the "Y” when
1 got iiome. While it would take up
too much of your space to answer these
—at the same time 1 would like to
give you the reason for a few. Thdliig
gest kick came from the fact that a
bouta year ago. General Pershing or
dered us to take over the army canteen.
Up to that time the ,- Y” was giving
everything free, but had no money for
thls purpose and we had to borrow
twenty million dollars to stock up with.
The reason this was done was that by
an act of Congress the quartermaster
has to make a record of every sale,
even a box of matches to one man, and
it required too many men to run the
canteens and keep the books, whereas,
the Q. M. would sell several thousand
dollars worth at a time to a “Y” man
and he would only make one record.
We sold at cost, but in many cases we
could not buy from the Q. M. and we
would have to get the goods from Paris
and would have to p. y freight and duty
and in addition to New York prices.
But tbe Q. M. would let us have it at
cost to him. 1 have bought several
