NOT AN AUCTION
The Tribune-News’ is NOT auctioning off a slllO Dort
Auto to the candidate with “the longest pocket-book.” The
Contest Manager has had 12 years experience in conducting
these campaigns envolving a vote schedule that GIVES THE
REAL WORKERS AND HUSTLERS AND BONA FIDE SUB
SCRIPTION GETTERS THESE PRIZES, and not some person
who might figure on stepping up at the last minute and “buy
ing” a car. This is prevented by the graduated scale of votes,
tapering off at the finish of the race.
A ROTTEN GUESS, SOMETIMES, MAYBE
Recently in reply to a communication sent from this office
a candidate wrote us as follows:
“I am writing these lines to inform you that I
am deeply interested in your auto contest, and
hope to succeed in the race. But I don’t expect to
get the car, AS IT WON’T BE WON BY ANY
COUNTRY BOY OR GIRL!”
And in reply we will say that WE don’t know but ONE
THING, and that is this—That the candidate POLLING THE
HIGHEST VOTE in this race will get the‘slllo Dort Auto,
the second highest vote the $225 Victrola, and the third high
est the SSO Liberty Bond, and SO FAR THERE HAVE BEEN
FOUR SPECIAL CASH PRIZES AWARDED AND EVERY
ONE OF THE FOUR HAS BEEN WON BY “A COUNTRY
BOY OR GIRL.” The first $lO, awarded Feb. 18th, was won
by Mrs. Bob Hargis, Stilesboro; the second cash special prize,
$5, was won by Miss Annie Lou Lowry, Cartersville, R. F. D. 1,
while Mrs. Bob Hargis came to the front again on March 4th,
and won the third special prize, $10; and Miss Ethel Mosteller,
of Adairsville, won the $5 Tuesday, March 11th, and Mrs.
Bob Hargis won the $5 last Tuesday If some of these “wise
guys” would devote HALF AS MUCH ENERGY TO GETTING
SUBSCRIPTIONS as to speculating on the PROBABLE WIN
NER their standing would not likely drop into the “also ran”
before the race is run. The REAL WORKERS are so busy tak
ing subscriptions, and seeking them, that they don’t have time
to indulge in idle “guessing contests.”

THE BARTOW TRIBUNE
(TRIBUNE VOL. 8, NO. 43
THE CARTERSVILLE NEWS
CONGRESSMAN LEE GOING TO FRANCE;
HEARTILY ENDORSES LEAGUE NATIONS
Popular Seventh District Rep
resentative Spends Short
Time in Cartersville This
Week—Elucidates the Lee-
Lever Amendment Which
He Drew.
Congressman Cordon Lee. wearing
the appearance of a man enjoying a
fine state of health, was in Cartersville,
Wednesday, and was warmly greeted
by many friends during the day.
Mr. Lee informed the Tribune-News'
representative that he would leave for
France for a thirty days’ trip on April
Bth, for the purpose of gaining first
hand information concerning the stale
of things as left by the war and partic
ularly to ascertain how the American
boys in France are faring who yet re
main in the Army. Mr. Lee intends to
visit the various battlefields and the
camps wherever American soldiers
are located. He will go with a long list
containing the addresses of Georgia
boys and will undertake to find them
and talk with them while away. Mr.
Lee feels that in this way he may be
of service to the boys themselves and
is sure that he can the more intelli
gently act upon the various Questions
coming before the next Congress re
lating to problems growing out of the
war.
Air. Lee expresed himself as heartily
in favor of the League of Nations. ‘ I
believe that the sentiment of the people
of the nation is almost united in favor
of President Wilson’s efforts to fed
erate the nations in the one great pur
pose to prevent future wars. Any pub
lic man who finally opposes the League
will disappoint every mother in the
land, every soldier who went forth to
defend his country in the war with
Germany, every preacher whose mis
sion is to carry the message of 'Peace
on earth, good will toward men' and
about nine-tenths of the men of voting
age. Every argument being used a
gainst the League has been used in
the early history of our country against
the adoption of the American Consti
tution, against the .Monroe Doctrine,
and in the various crises through which
our nation has successfully passed. For
the most pc.:'., . arc using techni
cal qui! hies hut •’or the purpose of
embariassing the president and to hin
'• * him in order that their political
envy will defeat a wuiitf-wide accnm
plshrris for good. Hut the people are
behind the President and he will u.t
f imately succeed.”
When asked concerning the amend
men. of the wh’at price guarantee
bib ..i ii.t . losing hours of the
last Congress, a..-5 drawn by him and
known as ihe Lee-Lever Amendment,
he stated lhat the purpose of the a
mendment was to restrict deliveries
on cotton contracts to eleven instead
of twenty-one grades, as heretofore,
outing out the Very low grades of cot
ton which constitutes about one-tenth
of the cotton production of the south,
t.ut which one-tenth was used to de
press the price ol he other nine-tenths.
The result under former conditions was
to keep the price of cotton down be
low what it ought to be because of
this right to deliver any sort of cotton.
Cotton exchange operators in New York
have always insisted on delivering
anything in the shape of or remotely
resembling cotton, and Mr. Lee’s a
mendment necessitates the adoption of
i new contract by which only cotton of
. certain specified good quality can be
tendered and this will limit the tfbility
• l a cotton speculator selling cotton to
(Ulfill his agreement unless he tenders
otton of a character above the grades
pecified in the amendment. The re
mit has been a decided advance in the
•rice of cotton since the new law went
.nto effect and Georgia farmers, who
raise the best kind of staple, have been
getting a decidedly better price, ft :s
really the only legislative step that has
resulted in any substantial good to the
farmer that has been adopted or un
lertaken.
It will of interest to learn that Mr.
Wade Cothran, formerly of Carters
ville, and who has hosts of friends here
who pleasantly remember him for his
-genuine worth and ability and social
attainments with Mr. Walter Griffin,
assisted Mr. Lee and furnished him
with expert informaton concerning the
ffect of the adopton of the amend
nent. The agricultural department of
he Government was convinced by Mr.
,ee and Mr. Cothran and Mr. Griffin
hat the amendment was fair and just
nd the cotton grower entitled to its
jenefits.
Mr. Lee expressed the greatest in
erest in the progress of good roads
entiment in this county and feels that
he greatest needs of Georgia today are
good roads and increased educational
acuities. To the accomplishment of
oth of these great constructive works
le thought every well-wisher, for his
•state's progress should devote himself.
Mr. Lee left early Thursday morning
or Dalton, hoping to get back to his
farm in Walker county in time to di
rect and lay out the work to be done
during his absence.
RETURNS HOlviE 6 MONTHS
AFTER HIS ENTRAINMENT
Private Jack Yancey, a son of Mr.
and Mrs. J. M. Yancey, of White, re
turned home exactly six months after
leaving Bartow county for the training
camp. But, in that short period of
time, he went through an intensive
training course, and spent three months
in France. He was a member of the
Sunset Division and never saw actual
fighting. He is delighted to be at home
and says he expects to help his father
make a big crop this year.
Leroy Alexander, of White, is .an
other Bartow county boy just return
ed home. He saw very little active
fighting, hut was near the firing line
when the armistice was signed, and
was sent to the front with one of the
“Cease Firing” messages on that me
morable 11th of November. He, too, is
delighted to get back home, and says
he will at once begin preparing to make
a big crop on his farm.

MOTOR TRUCK SERVICE
HAS BEEN DISCONTINUED
.As will appear from the following
communication, the motor truck ser
vice between Atlanta and Rome has
been discontinued, effective March 31,
1019. This service has been one which
proved to be quite convenient and ser
viceable along the route for the ship
ment of produce and perishables and
many will regret its abondment, but it
apears to have met with an adverse
report by an inspector and acting upon
that report the service has been discon
tinued.
The following advice to that effect
has been received by Postmaster H. J.
Jolly:

HARRIS WILL UNDO
HARKWICKS WORK
Assured Reappointment of H. M
Miller as Colquitt Postmastei
Will Be Sent Senate.
“Personally Objectionable" to Late
Junior Senator and Fails to Secure
Confirmation.
WASHINGTON-, March \5. — Senator
W. J. Harris has been assured by the
post-office (lepartment 'that imme
diately upon the convening of the Sen
ate in extra session the reappoint
ment of Henry M. Miller to be post
master at Colquitt will be sent in for
coonfirmation. On December 12 Inst.
Former Senator Hardwick caused the
Senate to reject the appointment of
Miller on the ground the Miller’s ap
pointment was personally objection
able. Senatorial courtesy prompted
the Senate to immediately turn the
Colquitt man down. On the same day
Hardwwick secured the rejection of
Walter W. Davis, named for postmas
ter at Cartersville. No action has yet
been taken looking to an appointment
for the latter officer.
Speaking of the effort to have post
master Miller reappointed, Senator
Harris said: ”1 do not propose to have
any ohe in Georgia punished because
liehe supported me in my candidacy
for the Senate if I can prevent it. Mr.
Miller will be reappointed because he
has made a good postmaster. His rec
ord as an official is clean and he is
in every way capable of acceptably
filling the office. lam sure he will be
speedily confirmed when the Sefctate is
convened.”
Reepresentative Frank Park and
Senator Harris are working together
to put Miller over. The rejection by
the Senate of the Miller appointment
a traded State-wide attention as it
was the first engineered be former
Senator Hardwick in retaliation for
his defeat in the Georgia primary last
summer. >
Senator Hoke Smith expects to
leave for Atlanta Monday afternoon.
It is understood he will make a state
ment shortly after reaching Georgia
explaining hfcj opposition to •certain
constitution as it is now outlined and
advocated.
