BANKERS URGE
REDUCTION IN
COTTON ACREAGE
Thirty-five _
Less Is Minimum it
gested in Bulletin
sued to People of the
South.
Local bankers have received a very
I interesting epitome of a resolution
passed at a recent meeting of direc-
I tors of the International Banking Com
pany, in session several days ago at
i New Orleans, discussing the eotton
situation.
The following is a copy of a resolu
tion passed by the board of directors
of the Federal International Banking
Company, at their meeting in New Or
leans on April 9, 1921:
"Whereas, The very large amount of
cotton grown last year and previous
years, now estimated at from eight to
ten million bales, to be carried over
into the new cotton year beginning
August 1. has had a depressing effect
and is still holding down the price of
cotton; and.
‘Whereas. From present indications
it is believed that the greatly reduced
buying powers of the world will not be
able to consume much, if any more cot
ton \ the coining year than oonsumed
this year; and.
"Whereas, The only apparent hope
to maintain the price for the present
stock, and to secure a fair price for
the next crop, is to produce a small
crop this year;
Now, therefore, be it Resolved, by
the directors of the Federal Interna
tional Banking Company. That we be
lieve the efforts to induce the cotton
planters to reduce the acreage in cot
ton about to be planted, is now of par
amount importance to the South, and
that we believe the reduction should not
he less than 35 per cent; utgl.
"Resolved, further, That a copy of
this resolution be mailed to each stock
holder of our company with a request
that they use their influence at once to
secure all the co-operation necessary,
looking to the production of anew
crop of cotton, which, together with
the carry-over, will command a rea
sonable price."

BABY BURNED
TO DEATH
AT BARNSLEY
Mr. and Mrs. Richard
Dodd Lost Two-Year-
Old Son Last Thursday
By Staff Correspondent.)
KinU /ft, Ga., April 21.—(Special.)
One iif£ the saddest pieces of news
came last Thursday. Howell, the two
year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Richard
Dodd, was burned to death in the fam
ily home, across from the Barnsley
school house, that morning.
The baby was alone in the room at
the time, and it is thought his clothes
became ignited by a stray match. An
other child saw the flames and ran for
Ihe parents, who reached the scene too
late.
The baby was unconscious, the little
body burned to a crisp.
The funeral took place at Kuharlee
on the following day. Mrs. Dodd was
Miss Bessie Herring, and she and her
husband have many friends who will
sympathize with them in their grief.
Indeed, this is a sorrow that will
touch every lover of little children.
What are hard times —what is anything
compared to such a blow as this? It
behooves people to take extra precau
tions about tire at all times, but espe
cially where innocent children may be
the sufferers.

MOURNS DEATH
YOUNG BRIDE
(By Staff Representative.)
Adairsville, Qa„ April 21.- (Special.)
•Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Scott went to De
catur Wednesday of last week to ai
tend the funeral of their daughter-iiv
law. Mrs. William L. Seott, whose death
was an unexpected blow to her relatives
•inti many friends.
Services were held In the Episcopal
church, of which Mrs. Scott, nee Char
lotte Estes, and her parents were com
municants, and was largely attended.
The Bank of Decatur, of which Mr.
1 Seott is an employe, was closed as a
mark of respect, also the high school,
! of which Charlotte had been a beloved
! pupil, graduating only last spring and
becoming a bride a few weeks later.
1 The church was beautifully decorated,
casket and chancel banked with hand-
I some floral tributes, showing the love
j and sympathy of a host of friends.
This was a particularly sad occur
:renee on account of the youth of the
! 100, who had apparently many years o.
| promise before them, and the husband,
j an Adairsville man, has the sympathy
j of all his associates.
Miss Del Scott, who accompanied her
! parents, remained for a short visit with
; her sister, Mrs. Armande.

they’ll chorus. So far, so good, and you
think you've placed them, but a few
girations, and childish antics, and again
they stand, white teeth showing in a
broad smile of mischief, but just try a
guess, and how they will laugh, for the
order is reversed, and "Tills is Don'

W.C. HENSON
CHAIRMAN DRIVE
BARTOW COUNTY
Was One of Delegates
Attending State Con
vention in Macon Last
Week, in Interest of
i University of Georgia.
At the state conference of Univer
sity men in Macon Saturday. Mr. W. C.
| Henson, of Cartersville, was appointed
chairman of the Bartow county com
♦
mlttee which will help to raise one mil
lion dollars for the University of Geor
' gia.
More than 100 delegates rrom all
parts of the state pledged themselves
to help relieve the crisis at the nniver
| Kity by raising a fund of one million
, dollars to meet its most urgent needs.
Although the university must complete
a $3,500,000 building program as soon
as practicable, the delegates decided
that the one million must he raised im
| mediately. The fund will be used to
j eomplete alumni memorial hall, in
honor of ihe university men who gave
their lives to their country in the world
1 war, to build a dormitory for men, to
.build the new physics building, to pro
vide endowment for salaries, to pro
j plete the veterinary building, started
i in 1914, and to complete the animal
.husbandry building, started In 1910.
Tne university faces the most serious
1 crisis in its history because of lack of
I funds. It has not developed Its build
ings and equipment as fast as the high
schools of the state have grown. Asa
, result, it is now unable to handle all
the high school graduates who want to
continue their education at the uni
versity.
“Five thousand Georgia boys and
girls will complete their high school
work this year,” said Chancellor Bar
| row. "A large number should go on
!to lollege. We tuibe not places to
lodge and board (hem. We have not
| class rooms in which to teach them. We
have dormitory space for 270 boys,
three in a room. We have one dormi-
I tory for women with places for 72. But
what are these among so many?’’
j The raising of the million-dollur fund
will be the first step in the $3,500,000
I building program which must be car
--1 ■ its 1 out if the university is to ac v(tm-
Imorale Hip students who apply tor ud

and the professions.

Rev. John Yarbrough
Will Continue Strong
Sermons at Methodist
Church During Next

The protracted meeting, in progress
at the Methodist church this week, has
been largely attended, and interest in

S- A. Harris, announces that at 3 o’clock
on that day there will be a special serv
ice for men only. All men of the com
munity are urged to attend this meet

urged to attend these meetings.
THE EAST SIDE
BAPTIST REVIVAL
The revival at East Side Baptist
church continues with increased In
terest and power. From Sunday until
Wednesday night there were thirty-one
additions to the chuch, twenty-seven
for baptism. The ladies of the church
; continue to conduct cottage prayer
! meeting. They held a service at the
jail for the on Wednesday
| afternoon. One striking feature of the
; meeting is that the membership of the
East Side church visited practically
i very home east of the railroad, read
scripture and held prayers last Sunday
afternoon. Such work has borne much
fruit in the meeting, notwithstanding
the fact that the great revival at this
church last summer was one of the
greatest ever held in Cartersville.
This one is better in some respects
than was that one. A greater number
of candidates have been received for
baptism up to Wednesday night of this
week than had been received at the
same period of the meeting last sum
mer.
Then, this meeting is reaching some

J. H. Wofford and Sam
Verner Captains of
Two Teams, and Inter
esting Game Forecast.
The lid will be pried off the baseball
season Wednesday, April 27, when a
game will bo played between the "Fats"
and the "Leans" on the tine new dla?
mond at the fair grounds.
This will he the first and only ap

Captain Bruce Wofford, of the “Fats,”
informed a Tribune-News reported that
his team is in fine condition, with the
exception of Bat Wofford, wU is a few
jgiunds over weight. However. Bat
will probably he down to weight before
the game is finished.
Captain "Shorty" Verner, of the
“Lenns" is making no claims, but is
quietly advising his friends to get all
their money on his team, as the other
team has a "fat” chance with his ag
gregation of all-stars.
A good percentage of the gate re
ceipts will be donated to the high school
track team to help defray their ex
penses to Suwanee, and the balance
twill go toward buying uniform* for the
Cartersville Colt*. This is a worthy-,
cause, so when the boys call on you
do not refuse to buy a ticket, Everyone
come out and have a good time.
Game called at 4 o’clock. Admission
25 cents.
The line-up follows:
