THE BARTOW TRIBUNE (TRIBUNE, VOL. 11, No. 39.) (NfWS, VOL. 36, No. 21.) BOYSOFCOUNTY GO INTO ANNUAL CAMP THURSDAY There will bend charge for Farm Boys who plan to attend the annual gathering this year at Gordon Rog ers' Camp, near Kingston. To be more specific, it is located one and a half triles south of Kingston, on the Dixie Highway, near the Gaines' Mill. The dates are: Thursday, Friday, and Saturday of next week —Au- gust 18th, 19th and 20th. ' . The ladies of Kingston have * promised to lend a hand, and able speakers from Atlanta and the State, college will be present during the Camp. County Agent Cox, who is work ing like a trogan to get everything ready, was too busy to say much, when a Tribune-News reporter caught him Thursday noon, but he did give the following as tentative plans and suggestions for the big camp gathering: “It is impossible for me to see each boy, or even write all of you. Because of that fact, 1 am asking that every boy who has been seen, . or written to, talk this over with your neighbor’s boys, and plan to come in a body of six, eight or ten boys. "Any boy, living on a farm in Bartow county, will make a serious mistake, if he does not attend this camp. No entrance fee, or charges of any kind are to be made, at any time during the camp. Tell your parents we will have several good men present, all the time, and a number of the young men, who were in the world war, will be pres ent t& help direct the cooking.-sani tation, and the entertainment of the boys. “Let me urge all the boys who come to this camp to WEAR OVERALLS! We are not coming here to dress up, but to learn some thing. 'and I believe you can learn as well, or better, in overalls, than anything else. Remember this when you start to leave home for the camp. WHEN TO COME. "Get to the Camp by 10 o’clock Thursday, if possible. “Bring your lunch for Thursday's dinner, cooked and packed separ ate from your other food. 'This Camp will be on the sol dier fashion: Bring with you a quilt or blanket, also a tin plate, cup. spoon-and knife. "If you can. bring one' chicken, fluid;, ggJlon,green beans; one dozen roafciing ears; quart Irish potatoes, a few sweet potatoes; a few to matoes; meat tp cdok with beans, and some bacon extra; one dozen eggs, “If you wish to bring along some sweets, a small cake or pie will be just the thing. "Anyway come to the camp, where you will be given opportunity to study, sing and play, and enjoy yourself as you never did before — unless you have previously attend ed a similar gathering of Bartow county boys and young men, than whom there are none* better, more congenial or better to get along with in every way." “New Prosperity” Is Bank’s Slogan Being so favorably impressed with the progress local people are making, as well as the co-operation that has gone hand in hand between all interests this year. The Tribune-News counts it a pleasure to call the attention of read ers to an edvertisement carried on page three, this issue, by the Bank of Car tersville. which clearly sets forth the methods advanced by this progressive institution in striving to enlarge indi vidual prosperity throughout this sec tion. Certainly the “new prosperity,” as enunciated by this bank 'n its adver tisement, must first become individual, then co-operative. And. as is plainly asserted, “every freight train, pay roll, wheel of industry, agriculture and suc cessful marketing moves and thrives on bank balances (bank accounts) in proportion as people see and realize their responsibility,” we must come to the conclusion that banks are public institutions, established and operated for productive needs. Banks, like school houses, churches, postoffices are now a part of our every day lives, and no people t community or j nation can create, sell or prosper with | out intimate co-operation with banks. Read this advertisement. It’s instruc tive. inspiring, and certainly ought to be helpful, as well as productive of much personal good. The Bank of -Carters ville is rendering a service that should meet with favor and no doubt bestows benefit to every citizen of Bartow county. City Schools Open Monday, September 5 Supt. L. C. Evans, of the city schools, announces the opening date this year as Monday, September 5. Some decided improvements have been made at the West Side building, including the addition of three more rooms and shower baths and additional toilets. SIGN YOUR LETTERS. The Tribune-News again would remind those who have news items for this page, as well as other sec tions of the paper, that the real name of the contributor must ac company all letters sent in. This week we received several items with the names of the senders emitted. We could not run them. We want any item that would prove interesting to other folks as well as yourself, but the name of the sender must always accompany every Item, even locals sent in: otherwise they cannot be published. THE CARTERSVILLE NEWS GAME WITH ATCO FRIDAY A GOOD ONE That’s Outlook at-This Distance, and Strong; Batteries Will Be on Hand for Both Teams. Rained out in the last half of the Ifcfth inning las.

The Atco team has equally strong , I supporters, and the management is not ! letting any grass grow, but announces j i that their battery for Friday’s contest j will be the best obtainable. Jupiter Pluvius stepped in and halted 1 what promised to be a most interesting | game with the Atco team last Friday afternoon, the contest being stopped by a sudden downpour before the Colts could get their half of the fifth, in which event the game might have gone to the I visitors, the score standing 1 to 0. In the first half Atcc put a run across, when Reeves lifted one over Harwell’s head and made first. He then purloined : the second sack, and when Hall hit to | first for an out, Reeves landed ,on third I base. Weaver came up and hit one of | Compton’s low ones for two bases, and ! Reeves went home. Powell fanned three j times and went out f ending the first j half of the first inning. After that there was no more scoring, i and air-tight ball was being played by both teams. Then the rain came, in the last half of the fifth, Bradley, first man up, getting first on Springfield’s error. J With no out for Cartersville, the gam** ' was called.

FARMERS’ CLUB MEETING. The Euharlee Farmers’ Club meets at Rediand farm, home of Mr. Hamilton C. Stiles, Friday of this week. This is the annual gathering of members of the club, together with their families and friends, and it is anticipated a large number will be in attendance at the August meeting. Cartersville, Georgia, August 11, 1921. Couple Married After Spending Anxious Moments An Atlanta couple, eloping to th s city. Tuesday night, found Cartersville a difficult place in which to commit matrimony. What, with a dearth of preachers caused by the vacation season, they spent several anxious hours, but were finally sent on their way rejoicing, happy in the possession of a marriage certificate signed by ar. orthodox min ister* of the gospel. Miss Agnes M. Green *rnd Thomas Henry Jones, both employes of the Western Union Telegraph coni pan y in Atlanta, dropped off the 6 o'clock train Tuesday evening, announcing to Miss Fay Tate, a friend of theirs, that they urgently desired the services of a preacher. Anticipating r;o delay, they immediately wired the bride’s mother that the marriage had been solemnized. Investigation developed the fact that every preacher in Cartersville was either away on vacation, or otherwise engaged, and as the couple held an aversion to a ceremony performed by a justice of the peace, runners were sent abroad in an effort to round up a min ister. Rev. Walt Holcomb, well-known evan gelist, was located at Meadowview farm several miles from town. He was brought to # Cartersville by automobile and the anxious couple, still 'waiting at ; the church,” speedily took the matri monial vows. Mr. and Mrs. E, W. Rob | inson, Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Pettit, Miss Tate and Mr. Boland Banders witnessed the ceremony. Just as the ceremony was completed the 9:21 train for Atlanta hove in sight. The newly wedded pair forthwith took advantage of the opportunity and re turned to Atlanta. JOHN B.

Residents of East Point | and College Park, returning home from : their work in the city alighted from ! nolley cars by scores. Many automc ! bile parties went from Atlanta to view | the wreckage for homs after the acci ! dent. “The train is said to have been travel ing at its customary rate of speed. En j gineer Felix Smith was at the throttle. I Mr. Tanner is survived, in addition | to his widow, by two daughters.

This they did but Mr. Tanner suggested that Mr. Taff remain over another day or so, while he and his wife visited relatives in Atlanta. Leaving here shortly after 1 o'clock Tuesday afternoon, the Tan ners motored to Atlanta, and that eve ning Mr. Tanner was killed. Moving to South Georgia from this county some eight years ago Mr, Tan ner had established himself in his new home, and had prospered in many ways. He had a host of friends and relatives in this county, and all of them were In expressibly shocked at his tragic death on Tuesday evening.

WESLEY ROBERTS MADE FIRST BALE INBROOKSCOUNTY Former Bartow Coun tian Showing South Georgians HowTo Farm and Make Early Cotton. A former citizen of llarffiw dmtnf.v, farming for the first season in Brooks county, ginned the first bale of cotton in that county this year, according to information Just received here by rela tives of Mr. W W. Rohers, Jr., who, with his his family, is now making his home near Quitman. Purchasing a farm of 529. acres in the South Georgia county, Mr. Roberts began cultivating it plow ing deep In tin, curly* tiprlsig An a re sult, his land was ready for planting some time before any of lus neighbors, and the county s first bale for the pres ent year is his reward. He received | 19c a pound, or $85.8-1 for the bale, a premium being paid on thfs one by Quitman merchants. Mr. Roberts is a son of Mr. W. W. Roberts, Sr., of Cartersville, and he has a host of friends throughout the county who will be deeply interested in reports of the success he is making in his new home. Although the boll weevils are in Brooks county, Mr, Roberts’ cotton has escaped so far, because of its early maturity. His father, who has just re turned from a trip to South Georgia, says Mr. Roberts has a good crop all the way 'round this year, and his corn and potatoes are in a class with his cotton. Favorable Notice. The Quitman Free Press, carrying the story of Mr. Roberts' bringing in the county's first bale, under a two-line scven-colmn head, had the following comment regarding it: “The first bale of cotton of the 1921 crop was brought to Quitman Wednes day afternoon. It was grown by Mr Wesley W. Roberts, Jr., and the seed cotton weighed 1 465 pounds. The bale weighed 451 pounds and was ginned at the Merchants’ and Farmers’ gin- This bale was brought in two weeks earlier than the first bale in 1920. "Mr. Roberts is a newcomer in the county, and this is his first year of farming in Brooks county. He moved here from Bartow c&unty and bought the Dekle place. He is very much pleased with the county. “The bale did not class very high, and 10 cents was the market offer, but at the time the Free Press went to press Secretary Shepper was getting up a pool among the merchants for tt. “It finally brought 19c, the total sum for the bale being $85.84. M. A. Brant ley bought it. Father of Wreck Victim in Well When New* Received W. J. Tate Forty-two Feot Below the Earth’s Surface When He Heard of Son’s Death. By Staff Representative. Adairsvilie, Ga., Aug. 11-—(Special.) Mr. W. J. Tate and son Charlie, of Snow Springs, were in Adairsvilie Saturday receiving condolence over his recent tragic bereavement. Mr. Tate was digging a well and was forty-two feet below the surface when the news was called to him that his son Tom had been killed by an engine at Eves station Monday. He, too, had a large family, but none to spare. Mrs. W. H. Felton Is Honored by Senate; Sits In the President’s Chair (Atlanta Journal.) When Mrs. W. H. Felton, of Carters ville, Ga. visited the state senate Tues- Id.iy, she was escorted to the rostrum | by a committee of senators and *at for j more than an hour in the presiding of ficer’s chair in conference with Pres ident Herbert Clay And Sam L. Olive, | former president of the upper legisla j t-ive branch. The belief of veteran legislators is j Mrs, Felton is the first woman who i ever sat in the president's chair while ' the upper house was actually in ses sion. During intermissions, the members of the senate filed by the rostrum to shake I hands with 'the grandmother of Geor gia politics,” and exchange views with her on various legislative subjects. “1 want to tell you senators one thing ” said Mrs. Felton. *‘l have some very positive views about this tax you sought to levy on grand opera in At lanta. That tax, it appeared to me, was nothing more nor less than a slap at the great city of Atlanta, and, gen --t'emen, I did not think it was fair. You ought not to penalize a city for becom ing great enough to bring South a great enterprise like the Metropolitan'Opera company.” COMMERCIAL BODY WILL ASSIST ALL SYRUP GROWERS Sec. Woodrow Would Like to Hear From Pro ducers Who Would Like to Sell Sorghum. Believing the Commercial Association can render a real service to growers of ■ sorghum syrup, Secretary Geo. Wood- I row. Jr., would like to hear from as j many of them as possible, in order that \ he may put tjiem in touch with buyers j in large quantities. Reports reaching the association are, in effect, that a large crop will be made | this year. That being true, an outlet besides home consumption and the lo cal market must he obtained. Mr. Woodrow believes that good prices can be obtained for sorghum if sold in larger quantities than any one grower would likely have at one time. Hence he is ’offering, the services of the association j "ree~ of Charge to the farmers, in the j hope they will avail themselves of an opportunity to pool their surplus and j get the cash for it. Growers are urged to get: in touch pvTUr Mr. W,o<Aro\v at his offices In the J city hall.

M’ELREATH [Many Things Interest-; ■ ing About the Busy Lit tle Creatures Found Out by This Gentle man. So quietly has he gone about his plans for establishing an apiary his home here, very few of his friends know that he has already established a colony that bids fair to grow and before long prove a source of income to him. Some month ago. he became inter ested in the culture of bees, and he be gan investigating the best species for this climate, and those best adapjted to the flowers found hereabouts. A glance at reference materials show ed Dr. that the honey bees are scientifically classed In the hymen optera because, like the wasps hornets and bumble-bees they have four mem braneous gauzy wings. The scientific name of the common or black bee is “Apis Melliflca,” owing to her production of honey from the nectar of flowers, which she gathers. A slight chemical change is made in the nectar while in the honeysack of the bee. but its color, flavor and quality remain the' same. Syrup, glucose, or molasses, if fed to bees, would not change in appearance, and clover honey does not resemble either alfalfa, bass wood. Spanish needles, sage or buck wheat honey, or honey-dew. The latter is a product of plant lice, and is of a very low quality, according to Dr. Me- Elreath’s experiments. The Queen Bee. Every hive, says Dr. McElreath f has a queen, and of course, she is the only perfect female in the hive. She is the mother of this hive, and lays all the eggs. This is her only duty, and so well does she perform it that she de posits, at some seasons, especially in the spring, as many as 3,500 eggs in twenty-four hours. The eggs are care, fully laid at the bottom of each cell. The queeif mates only once in her life, about six days after her birth. In the fields, and on the wing, Dr. McElreath says. The queen never leaves the hive, once she enters it, except with a swarm, and her life’s duration is from two to five years. Some apiarists say that after the second or third year her usefulness decreases, and It becomes necessary in such cases, to secure anew queen. A queen w’hich has been prevented from mating by accidental confinement to the hive for a period of about three weeks after birth is no longer able to mate, but she can still lay eggs that will (Continued on Last Pago.) 10 PAGES TODAY $2.00 The Year AUDITORIUM A POSSIBILITY FOR ADAIRSVILLE Woman’s Club Meeting at Home of Mrs. Brad ley Sponsors Move ment— Burglars Act ive—Other Items of Special Interest.

There was also one urging co-operation in raising the mllllon-dollur endowment for the state university.
