Ga., Aug. 25. —The presence of mind of a young girl. Miss Myrtle Hodges, organist at the Cedar Creek Baptist church, about eleven miles from Rome, probably saved a big con gregation from a panic Sunday night at the close of a revival meeting of ten days. The church was packed and just as the pastor. Rev. A. C. Garner, had ended his sermon and asked the con gregation to sing and shake hands, the floor began to give wav. The spot where the organ stood sank first, but the young organist continued to play and the congregation, struck by her courage, continued singing as the floor slowly sank several feet. When the sinking stopped. Miss Hodges was lift ed out and enthusiastically cheered. PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH. Sunday school at 9:45, Mr. H. C. Nel son. superintendent; Mr. Charles Young, secretary.

Serious Damage Nar rowly Averted. What came near being a disastrous accident occurred at the court house a few days ago. when the heavy iron weight, which is used to control the operation of the big clock in the court house steeple, fell several feet to the floor rotunda. As those who have investigated such matters probably know, thesV .big clocks are “run” by a heavy weight, which is “wound up" at stated intervals just like the family eight-day clocks i are. Instead of springs, the heavy : weights take their place. When this weight is wound up to its | highest point, its accidental dropping j would no doubt do great damage. It | so happened that when it fell the other [ day the clock was nearly “run down," i and consequently the weight was near j the floor when its supporting cable j suddenly gav e way. The damage was quickly repaired by I Mr. Fred Radebaugh, who has charge ■of the clock, and very few citizens | knew of the accident, COUNTY TAX RATE IS SAME AS PAST YEAR One-Fifty Rate Holds Good, According to Commissioners’ Ruling —School Taxes In creased in Some Dis ' tricts. The Board of County Commissioners at their last regular meeting definitely fixed the tax rate for 1921 at $1.60 per hundred dollars, or sls per thousand. This is the same levy as that made last year by the board, and is not a raise in any sense of the word. Realiz ing that the county’s debt must be paid off, the commissioners are levying an assessment of 50c on the hundred, or $5 on the thousand to meet this year's quota of past obligations. For county road work the assessment is 20c on the hundred, or $2 per thou sand; 4c on each dollar paid in for taxes next fall goes to pay the sheriff, jailor and other officers entitled to fees out of Ctaunty funds, while 3 cents of each dollar paid in Is to be set aside to pay expenses pf bailiffs, non-resi dent witnesses in criminal cases, as well as for fuel, stationery and other necessities"'of this nature. The poor of the county will receive 2 cents on each dollar paid in. while the cost of paying the feers of jurors serving at the various courts held dur ing the year for which this levy is made (Continued on Page Faun) which weigh upon them during the remainder of the year. With Firestone, Edison and Ford these camping excursions have be come an annual event. Formerly John Burroughs, the aged naturalist, was a member, but his death last spring removed his patriarchal fig ure from the group. By his asso ciates he was esteemed so highly they considered no less personage than the president of the United States could take his place, and Mr. Harding accordingly was invited to Bertha Mineral Go. Buys ProDerty North Of the Etowah River An important mining transaction was closed within the last week whereby the Bertha Mineral Company acquired the barytes mines of the Thompson- Weinman Company on the north side of the Etowah river, and known as the Parrott Springs mines. This property is rich with barytes ores and the trans action is said to have in dyed a large sum of money, though the xaet amount paid for the property bus not been given out. The Bertha Mineral Company re sumed operations at the mines this week, after making some repairs on the plant. A large daily tonnage is be ing mined and the ore js of the finest quality. The Bertha Mineral Company I ha’s a ready market for all its ore. and is now operating two mines, their daily output being the largest in the district. The entire product is being shipped to the New Jersey Zinc Company, of which the Bertha company is a subsidiary corporation and it is believed that the parent company is anxious to get all the ore that can be mined at both mines in this county The Bertha Mineral Company has been active in the Cartersville district for a number of years. It first bought the mining property of the American Ochre Company and on this property ■ has been mining ochre and barytes for four or five years Later it bought the old Krebs property on the river, and within the last few days the Thompson. Weinman inteests. It is believed that extensive improvements, including the erection of anew washer, will be im mediately undertaken and that the present capacity will be more than doubled. The company already has in commission six steam shovels, a num ber of dinky locomotives and a valua ble equipment for the treatment and ! washing of the ores mined by it, and j employs a large force of both skilled | and day labor. For several years, since l its first investment in this countly. Mr. ,L. B. Womelsdorf has been superintend ; ent of the plant, and under his efficient | management the business has been ; built up to where it is one of the very : important industries of North Georgia. IMPROVEMENTS BY PHONE COMPANY TO BE EXTENSIVE Plans Now Being Car ried Out by Southern Bell in Cartersville Ne cessitate Spending of $15,000. Fifteen thousand dollars is a conserv ative estimate of the amount of money that will be spent f n Cartersville by the Southern Bell Telephone Company, which is now completely overhauling its lines and modernizing its wire cir cuits throughout the city. Manager R M. Collins states that over 1,000 feet of cable have been used in removing wires from the residence streets and otherwise improving the circuits in all parts of the city. In this connection it is understood the com pany hopes to have sufficient facilities, (Continual on Page Four.l take his bunk.

PRESBYTERIANS MAKING REPAIRS ON THE CHURCH New Roof Put on and Steam Heating Plant Changed to Afford More Warmth in Win ter Time. Work is now about completed on the ; improvements being- made at the iGcau | Presbyterian church i These improvements included the j covering of the church with a modern . roof of metal shingles, and the instal- I lation of a brand-new heating system. The membership of this church. | which is possibly the smallest of any of the three churches on the west side of town, has been very active, under the leadership of their pastor, Rev. L. C. Vans, and before beginning the re cent repairs had raised practically all the fpnds necessary to do the work. It is also planned to thoroughly reno vate the inside of the church, and to clean off the ground surrounding the building. When all the improvements have been made the board of elders, which is headed by Mr. Joseph S. Calhoun, as chairman, feels they will have a place of worship second to none in the city.

County Pupils. County pupils who are prepared to enter high school may register Friday or Saturday, or if impossible for them to come to town, they can see Super intendent Evans at the West Side school building any day next week. Su perintendent Evans reports that a large number of boys and girls are taking advantage of the free tuition proposi tion for high school students who live outside the. city limits- He says that he is enrolling one or two every day. This means that the central high school will serve from thirty-five to forty boys and girls this year from all parts of Bartow county. The two boards of education are to be congratulated on this progressive step, which offers to every boy and girl In the county who has completed the seventh grade, a high school education absolutely free. Heretofore high school pupils who I lived outside the city limits had to pay tuition fees. A full corps of efficient teachers has been secured, and Mr. Evans states he is highly pleased with the prospect for the coming school term- All the teach ers are college or normal trained, and all are full college or normal graduates with the exception of two. Every teach er in the high school is a college or university graduate holding a college degree. This means, that the Carters- I vtile high school wllDbe retained on the [ Southern Accredited List of Secondary ! Schools, and that all graduates can | enter any college or university in ' America that accepts students on cor i tifieate. Schedule Arranged. Miss Alice Taylor, principal of the high school, has worked out the sched ule and has everything arranged so that students will begin work on the first day.

Barnard, pastor of the East Side Baptist church of Cartersville, did the preaching, and did it to the delight of the great throngs that attended the services day and night.

O PAGES O TODAY $2.00 The Year BARTOW BOYS COME INTO THEIR OWN Assembly at Rogers’ Camp Three Days Last Week Was Great Suc cess Distinguished Men Give Lectures — Coming Again Next Year. By BELL BAYLESS. Kingston, (Ja., Atig, 25. —(Special,) They used to call it “muster” in old times, when the boys and young men annually assembled in camp for mili tary drill. But it was not for war-time instruc tion that the Bartow- county farmer hoys assembled at Gordon Rogers* camp at the old lime kiln spring Thursday morning for international disarmament is in the air. Rather was the campaign planned for another kind of war- —the life-time light for a living, where ‘‘bodies’* are boll weevils: gas, fumiga- I tion; submarines, irrigation or dust J mulch; “Huns.” the high cost of every thing except what the farmer has to sell for these were the Corn and Fig Club boys who, under County Agent Cox, came piling in. by train auto, wagon, muleback. and a-foot; 125 of them. —little fellows of 10 years; big ones of IS; brown-eye^blue-eyed, witk shades between; some quiet, some noisy —but none indifferent or lacking in in- terest and intelligence. L. D. Martin brought a bunch from the Cunningham school; W. H, Padgett came with the ones from Whites; P. F. Smith contributed his two sons; but for the most part the boys were "on their own." and felt their responsibility,. Each brought the prescribed impedi menta —plate, cup. spoon, knife and fork, ' grub" for tile first meal, bedding, and such a. mot ley display of quilts as were spread on the benches. Few places arc so well adapted for an expedition of this kind. Instead of tents or leaky cabins, here is the large pa vilion open on all sides, hut with stout shutters that may be closed keep out wind or rain. There Is the picturesque rock chimney where a generation ago lime was burned, but that now serves for an oven; and the wonderful apfing that bubbles clear and cold from the foot of the high hill curving about this glen or pocket, forming a stream that ripples over and about the moss-cov ered roeks till it reaches Two-Bun creek, a quarter of a mile away, a stream wherein grows cress and mint and ferns; that damnied up at the little bridge makes a splendid bathing pool, I not deep enough to be dagnerous, but large enough for cooling comfort. A camp so secluded that its presence would never be gussed at from the Dixie highway, some 190 yards-away, nor the railroad, half a mile distant; the smoke nf whose campfire might not betray It I to the sharpest-eyed Indian, nor clever est aeroplane; so safe that the most I timid of mothers need not fear for her hoy. ,1. S. Calhoun, of the First National Bank of Cartersville furnished tags for till present. Yet few camps have their own elec tric plant, with lights spread even on the trees: their own moving picture Sam on the Farm,” and other pictures helpful and inspiring to bdys, or are helpful and inspiring to hoys, or are presided over by a genius, eagle-eyed yet unobtrusive, like County Agent Cox. Thursday afternoon was naturally a matter of adjustment, but at supper began the reign of the cooking’squad— Weston Tinsley and Ranee Jackson, real army cooks; with Lieut Henry Elliott, professor of agriculture and ath letics in the Cartersville high school, to preside, and incidentally all the time rub in the principles of camp sanita tion, equally applicable to the home— whose methods are but the evolution of those laid down in Deuteronomy; also a small modicum of discipline, just enough to preserve order and avoid friction. That night there were "movies,” in charge of Mr. Welchel, of the State Col lege of Agriculture, Athens, who has traveled extensively in the West, as sisted by Luke Pettit "Boy” stories, instructive and entertaining, and music by Messrs. Henry Haynes and Stokes, who came from Kingston with guitar and violin and played for the boys both nights.

They spoke of the desire of the banker to aid the farmer to regain prosperity, and willingness to\co-operate with him in financing crops. Big business recog nizes the value of the husbandman, for without him there would be no need of banks because there wouldn’t be any "eats”; and here were those who In ten or a dozen years would hold the rich old county of Bar ow in the hollow of their hands .
