The trustees of the various school districts should see that the building and grounds are in first-class condition for the opening of school. Fuel should be provided, sanitary closets installed, a supply of clean water arranged for, and the building and grounds put in a sanitary condition. The sanitary conditions must meet the requirements of the County Board of Health, or the school may not be allowed to open. This is a matter of vital importance and must receive immediate attention of the trustees. Mr. Robert Crawford, of Cassville, and Mr. 'Hugh Farmer, of Adairsville, are attending the Fair school, in At lanta this week. The Board of Educa tion has contributed personally $2 each for sehoiarships for these boys. Atco school won SBO in prizes with their exhibit at the Bartow County Fair.

THE BARTOW TRIBUNE THE CARTERSVILLE NEWS (TRIBUNE, VOL. 9. No. 68.) (NEWS, VOL. 35, No. 33.) Remember the season of 1914 when things looked pretty bad for the cotton farmer? Didn’t everything eventually work out all right and the cotton section come back into its own? Did despondency or pessi mism accomplish anything then? Conditions today, although not nearly so unpleasing as then, are not all that we of the cotton country would like. But we are not in the boat by ourselves. The live stock growers, the wheat farmers, the producers of all sorts of farm produce are up against the same condition throughout the land. We are in no worse condition than they. Whatever happens to benefit them also will benefit us. Anything done for our benefit necessarily would be done also for them. If the Federal Reserve Board had acceded to the request of cot ton growers for more liberal dis count rates on cotton money, they would also have been required to make the same terms for other classes of farmers and the result would have* been that whatever we made in the bargain would have been absorbed by higher prices for commodities that we did not produce. The Tribune-News has no remedy to propose for alleviation of the disagreeable situation, but we have a few words by way of suggestion that we believe are worth printing. No matter what the cause of low-priced cotton, no matter what the remedy may be, nothing can be done to improve ronditions with magic speed. The remedy must be applied gradually. Here is our sugges tion: + Don’t do anything about mar keting your crop, adopting radi cal means of relief financially, following blind leaders, or mak ing plans for next year, until you KINGSTON SCENE OF HISTORIC EPISODES IN TIMES PAST-HER FUTURE IS BRIGHT, AND HER CITIZENS MOST OPTIMISTIC By BELL BAYLESS, Staff Correspondent. However unpopular royal ty may be in this day and time, there are twenty-one postoffices named Kingston in these United States. Kingston, Ga., is among the mountains, almost in the center of Bartow county, scarcely more than a suburb of Cartersville —for what are a few miles to an automobile with the Dixie Highway be neath its fires, and Carters ville for neXt-door neighbor? When the Rome railroad was projected, the Georgia State road took considerable stock in the new enterprise, paying for it with old rails and other materials which were being replaced with new; so one terminus of the Rome road was named for John P. King, the president of the Georgia road, and also United States senator. Mr. King presented his namesake with the church bell that CONSULT OLD-TIME FRIENDS still swings in the Methodist belfry. Kingston soon became known for its fine climate and pure freestone water, and people came in carriages clear from the coast to spend summers. There were two good hotels then, one kept by Mrs. Mark Johnson, and the other by Mrs. Mai Hud son. When the Western & At lantic railroad was built, in 1848, the place had forty stores—unfortunately about one-fourth were bar rooms— and being midway between Chattanooga and Atlanta, became a popular “eating” station. Kingston also had four churches—Methodist, Bap tist, Presbyterian and Primi tive Baptist. They were at tended by a number of inter esting people who had come Cartersville, Georgia, October 21, 1920. have consulted, your banker, your supply merchant, your fertilizer dealer and laid the whole state of your affairs before them. + This is no time for feeling blue. Optimism and a cheerful smile will win always. The bankers, the supply’mer chants, the fertilizer dealers have a double motive for helping you now. First, they are your friends and have stuck by you through thick and thin for these many years. They will do it again. They will give you sound advice, if you want it. Since, if you owe money, they are the’ ones to whom you probably owe most of it, they are as much interested in your wel fare as you are yourself. Second, they have a personal interest in your welfare because your success means also their suc cess and they want you to come out ahead or at least even with the world. If you can’t pay out this year, it is their business to help you so that you can pay out next year and square the debts of this year. Every farmer who has prac ticed even moderate economy and thrift during the past three years should have gotten himself pretty well established. He should be in much better condi tion to stand a short period of tight money now than he was in 1914. ' ♦ There is a bright blue sky ahead for the cotton farmer. Ev ery bale of this year’s crop that is picked early, ginned, stored in a safe warehouse and held until January or February will bring considerably more money than if it is sold now. Cotton left in the field will be almdst a total loss of labor and expense. ■ * Consult your friend, the bank er, your friend the supply mer chant, your friend the fertilizer dealer, before you make up your mind about what you are going to do. That will be the safest policy. Georgia Marble Exhibit One of Best Attractions at Fair Here Last Week The Gaines Mable Company has re ceived numbers of compliments on their exhibit at the fair last week, and their progressive spirit has been widely commented upon. Tihs concern, which operates a lively business in Cartersville, has for some time featured Georgia marble, and their business is growing with rapid strides. Georgia marble has stood the test of time, Messrs. R. M. and W. <5. Gaines declare, and they are more confident than ever of still further increasing their business, as a result of the in terest taken in their exhibit at the fair here last week.

Tile Bartow County Fair, which came to a close last Saturday evening, broke all attendance records and the displays and tree entertainment provided de limited all who took in the 1920 show. Financially the fair was not the suc cess it should have been, and this fact is due to unforeseen conditions that arose. First, the fair plans were made orf a better price for cotton than is now being obtained, and this cut into the receipts heavily. Another factor was the slight misunderstanding regarding certain things on the midway, and word got out last Thursday evening the fair had closed up. Naturally ihis kept many folks away, as did the clos ing of the baby show, as preventive measure against a possftile spread ot diphtheria. However, the directors are optimis tic over plans for another fair, and at Election Returns Will Be Flashed On Grand Screen As the result of an arrangement per fected this week by Manager H. G. Cope and The Tribune-News, complete re turns from the national election will be flashed on the screen at the Grand Opera House o n the evening of Tues day. November 2. This arrangement has been com pleted and Manager Cope and The Tribune-News cordially invites every one interested to come out and be their guest on that occasion. *No admission will be charged, no collection take n and no boxes placed conveniently for an offering. Solely with an idea of serving their patrons Js this arrangement made, and everybody, the ladies especially, are cordially urged to be present. The bulletins will start about 7 o'clock and will continue until something definite can be gained from the national event. Make your plans to be at the Grand Opera House, Tuesday evening, novem ber 2. and see whether or not the voters of the country have chosen Cox and Roosevelt, or Harding and Coolidge.
