BARTOW TRIBUNE With Which I* Consolidated the CARTERSVILLE NEWB Published Weekly at CartersvtUe. By the Tribune Publishing Company (Incorporated) MILTON L. FLEETWOOD General Manager Subreption Rates: One Year J 2 50 Six Months *1.25 Three Months *. 66 MEMORIAL DAY (Continued From Page One.) fittingly of the valorous deed of the veterans of the sixties, many of whom were present to enjoy the occasion. Miss Marjorie Taft delighted the as sanfehlage with her fine voice, when she sang that old familiar song, "Face to Face.*' Mrs A. B. Cunyus, Mrs. R. Pyron and Revs. Vass and Dutton rendered a quartet solo, which was very appro priate. Mss t ut'/Jll charmed her hearers with a very interesting reading and Miss Henrietta Gllreath rendered a special selection on the piano. Mrs. J. N. Weems, hy special request, gave a very timely and thoroughly en joyable reading, and the program closed with a solo rendered by Mrs. A. B. Cunyus. After the meeting adjourned, the Daughters were hosts to the veterans m.d invited fri ml: .A a lovely lunch eon at the Greek-American restaurant, and during the course of this part of the day’s program interesting talks were made by Judge George H. Aubrey, Rev. Mr. Allday, Mr. M. L. Fleetwood, Miss Mamie Jones and others. At the conclusion of the luncheon the veterans were invited by Manager Jesse Harris, of the Dixie theater, to he his guests for the showing of thk picture. “Down on the Farm,” and every one accepting the invitation were loud in their praise of the performance. Thus closed the program for Memo rial Day, 1920, and it proved to be a very happy occasion. Captain McCormick’s Letter. Captain H .1 McCormick, one of Bar-' tow county’s most distinguished and beloved veterans, has written the fol lowing letter to the editor of The Trib une-News, and it Is so timely that we are passing it along to our readers: Mr. Editor: It was the most fortunate circum stance that gave the writer hereof the greatest pleasure while attending the Memorial services given by the Daugh ters of the Confederacy at the hall of the Cherokee club, in Cartersville, last Monday, "Decoration Day.” When we say it was good to he there, our words do not tell half of the de lightful story The program given wu such as to warm the very cookies of the heart of the old hoys who fought and battled for principles that imbue the heaits and the souls of a people who love liberty and are willing to die for it. First among the many pleasing fea tures of the occasion was the lar-ie numiter o( the veterans .present. As ♦ hey came trooping in, you might think Lee's army had come over to Harlow county to sec what’s going on over here to keep alive the memories of events still in the minds of those hard and sad days between March 1. 1881, and May 4, 1865—hard because, day in and day out, for this long time, there was bloody strife; sad, oitly be cause we didn’t win. As they came marching into the hall their faces lit up with smiles of pleasure and their breasts adorned with that little piece of bronze —the "cross of honor,” it was plain to all that they were happy. Would like to give the names of all who were there, but that would lake up too much space n your valuable paper; but will say if you have the space to spare, please give it to us. The program began with an invoca tion to our Aulmighty God to bless the occasion for good to all present. The president of the Vf. D. C. chapter, Miss Mamie Jones, called up our senator, Hon. Claud Pittman, to give the wel coming address to, the veterans; and tills address was mad* In the most happy manner by Senator Pittman. If lie does as he talks, he will do. While everything on this happy oc casion was as good as good could be. there were some things that deserved special mention. A quartet song was rendered in so ■sweet a maner that it paved the way for better things to come. Two young ladies gave each a rendition of pieces In dialect, which made the old veter ans yell once again, especially Brother Allday, who exclaimed: "This is al most as good as a Methodist love feast.” And all tne other veterans felt the some way. When recitations like these call forth a hearty laugh of joy, you may just know that one more nail is pulled out of that old veteran's coffin, ahd life, to im, is yet a joy. There were several short talks. but the one by Dr. Dutton was most sig nificant As lie brought to the close of his address his final sentences re ferring to the happenings in the senate of the United States, and said these happenings "made my feathers fall and made me feel that my county, through its constituted authorities, is playing little part.” the old rebels (veterans) yelled again and again. Mrs. ’’Chuck” Wofford” (pardon me for referring to her ak Mrs. "Chuck” Wofford, for that was the endearing name by which we always called her late lamented husband), gave us a song accompanying the same by herself on the piano, showing that she still has the vital spark of youth in her soul and her nimble fingers, although the weight of many years rest upon her. Mrs. “Doc’’ Cunvus sang for the vet erans "Dixie.” And as the silvery tones of tier voice rolled out over tie old bo s, the fell again lik tb . yet he glad to try once more the game as played at Manassas, Gettysburg, Chickamauga and Kennesaw. As long as Dixie lives there will be a Southland. After fits last song was sung, and the last **y was said, we were marched down to.lhe restaurant to do homage to the god of festivity. And. although there wai nothing there out of which n kick mfch! come, Georgia being bone dry, "joyVas unconflned" at. that festal board. Aid the old boys fell back like leeches jwhen they got full. Those Greeks U* jtnow how to get up a dinner for a Georgia Cracker. The Dixie the ater gave a free matinee to the old thanks J! WhiCh uhey> all give j typsome occasion. May all u you trust Him " * HlllU.B. H. J. M CORMICK. WE CAN AND WE MUST HAVE A BONDED WAREHOUSE. The Tribune-News believes that the time or debating whether or not a bonded warehouse is needed in Bartow county has passed. It has passed because the people have been informed of the real, genuine good, and innumerable benefits which are certain to accrue from the immediate erection of such a plant. It is now time for every farmer and business man to sub scribe, and subscribe generously—subscribe until it hurts, as’ we often said during the critical days of the memorable war just closed. The people of Bartow county face the greatest opportu nity they ever had for doing something that will mean more for the general good of the whole people. * * * * Like many ether communities, we have had warehouses! for generations past, but they are not adequate for the crying | need, and only the erection of a bonded warehouse will solve this need. A bonded warehouse will relieve a situation that has j yearly become more and more unbearable, and no one realizes | that more than the farmers of Bartow county who have been j i unable to market their cotton as advantageously as their pains- I taking and costly labors certainly demand. , . No one realizes the need for such a plant more than the : ou si ness men of the county who have beheld the situation, but I felt then their utter helplessness to better it. NOW—-a plan has ben presented, concretely and specific ally, that v/ill completely relieve the situation, and bring about a remedy for conditions that have been nothing less than ap palling for many years. Ihe plan is very simple in all its workings. Every pound of cotton brought to this warehouse would be graded by an ex pei t grader, who has absolutely no interest at stake but to grade the staple at its actual grade, and to place an official stamp on each bale, showing its proper grade, as provided by the government warehouse regulations, under the U. S. ware house act. The U. S. warehouse act was conceived by Hon. A. F. Lever, congressman from South Carolina, and chairman of the house agricultural committee, and the purpose of the act was to standardize cotton warehousing and the issuing of a stan dardized bonded warehouse receipt of unquestioned value and integrity that is backed up by a bond to the government and which receives governmental inspection four times a year. The bond required by the government is §5 per bale of the storage capacity of the warehouse. The bond premium is 1 per cent per annum, meaning that a five-thousand-dollar bond will cost the warehouseman SSO per annum, and higher in proportion as the storage capacity of the warehouse increases. In addition to this there is a charge of $7 per annum on a 1,000-bale ware house' for the inspection and license. The operation of cotton warehouses under the U. S. ware house act is remarkably simple, and remains entirely in the hands ot the warehousemen. The government will not inter fere in any way with the warehouseman’s management and control, but will only require that the conditions of the act be met which are not at all burdensome. The conditions of the act are nothing more than that of good business practice. arehousemen need have no fear of RED TAPE. Inspections by agents of the government will be made from time to time at irregular intervals, which will include a check of all can celled receipts against the number of receipts issued to deter mine the number of outstanding receipts and the amount of cotton on hand. Actual counts of cotton will be made and the amount of isurance on cotton, if it is the practice of the ware houseman to insure his cotton, will be determined from the insurance policies in effect. One short monthly report relating to receipts and deliveries of cotton and the amount of insur ance carried, if any, is required of warehousemen. The bonded receipts which are issued are uniform and show the exact grade of the cotton. In event the warehouse man does not wish to grade the cotton, a co-operative agree ment has been made with the state bureau of markets at the state capitol at Atlanta, whereby the state bureau tenders the services of their expert staff of graders free of any charge whatever to the bonded warehousemen, to do their classifying. Asa recognition of the great value of governmental quar terly inspection, the lire insurance companies have just an nounced that where a warehouseman joins under the United f ates warehouse act that this automatically reduces the fire insurance rate on stored cotton 25 per cent. This is an eco nomic saving that no good business man can pass. Failure to join the bonded warehouse system means that somebody is actually throwing away 25 per cent of the fire premium. * * * * The mass meeting held at the court house on Tuesday aft ernoon demonstrated unmistakably that the people realize the need, and, realizing the need, a few men at that meeting—not a representative gathering, either of farmers or business men of the county, numerically speaking, subscribed over ten thou sand dollars in a vey few moments. The Tribune-News believes this money can be raised, and believing that its raising is imperatively necessary, it cannot too.strongly urge that every citizen approached respond quick ly and liberally. * * * * It will take liberal subscriptions, and lots of them, but when the subscribers realize that they are not only making a real investment that will pay them in cash dividends every year as handsomely as anything else they can put their money into, but are rendering a real community and county-wide serv ice. we are confident the entire amount of $150,000 will be forthcoming. Again we say, in all earnestness and with all the force at our command: “We can and we must have a bonded warehouse.” Alaska Freezers NORTH STAR FREEZERS Sizes I, 2,3, 4, 6 and 8 Quarts Easy to Operate Simple in Construction Freezes Cream in 4 Minutes FAIN & ADAIR C'artersville Largest Furniture Store ._ I 1 **-askArea SeL j|jl| THB TRißiryg-OTwra ciawMmm oa.. tbumdat, aprjl a, m.
