Cartersvl!!** fn* at last entered into that period of its I 11/.. ...L/.m * .. mnl< m n„n t 1 life when street work of a permanent character can be carried on. Within the last year the present administration Ann led constructing a complete sys tem of .-viiittary sewerage, with its own to* _e and conipteling it under the en gineer's estimates by several thousand dollars, and hence now it can well go in tor street work. Permanent paving of the character now being done on Main street, is the economical method of. doing street work. Through all the years of Hs ex istence, Cartersville has pursued the plan of repairing its streets made of this and that material, but clay and sand largely predominated, and these in guess-work proportions. The sum total of all which was that Cartersville had no streets and yet there has been expended upon them larg,* sums of money each year, all of which has gone to waste—and to the river. The Main street improvement will afford comfort and furnish beauty and attract the admiration of citizen and stranger, and it will remain as laid with the expenditure of hut a few dol hos each year a monument to tin courage, ability and business judgment of the mayor and aldermen and the ctt> manager. No Longer Negro Ridden. After many years of seriouK labor, the < florin of leading Georgia Repub licans to place the affairs of that party in the hands of the white Republicans of the state appear to be crowned with success, and henceforth negro politi cians and their white sympathizers will have little influence in the coun cils of the party. To bring these labors to a successful conclusion probably needed the selection of the negro, Henry Lincoln Johnson, as the na tional committeeman from this state, since his elevatton to leadership was soon followed by a concentration und joining of forces upon the part of the white Republicans, who, thus united, made their appeal to the president and other national leaders, with the result that they were given moral assurance of help and sympathy. All who are acquainted with polit ical conditions in the South have known that negro affiliation with the Repub lican party, and frequent appointments to office of negroes to serve in the South, would keep that party out of power in the South as long as such conditions existed The Southerner is intensely American, and Is well ac- Deering and McCormick Mowers, Rakes, Corn Binders, • Shredders and Hay Presses Repairs for all International Harvester Cos.

And as the average citizen views it. may the best party win. Judge Sibley At First Presbyterian Next Sunday Judge Samuel H Sibley, of the Northerh District of the Federal court, will speak at the Presbyterian church next Sunday morning at 11 o'clock.

She says the crops in that vicinity are splendid, as the rainfall lias been plentiful during the season, and the food supply is ample for the people, who years ago formed the live-at-home habit. Mrs. Tucker enjoyed the corn bread made from meal where the corn had been specially selected before It was carried to the mill; biscuits of home-grown wheat flour; hams cured so they never took on that rancid taste in warm weather, and sausage that had been packed in .fresh lard last winter.

Atkin son, James White, Merlin White and C. J, Harris, This is one of the loveliest as well as the most accessible spots in this vicin ity. In fact, Kingston furnishes prac tically the only summer resorts in Bar tow county, an advantage that should be cultivated instead of destroyed. Switzerland has long held the tourists as its own particular gold mine; Florida frankly acknowledges that it lives on "orunges and sick 'Yanks'." Why should not we secure some of the benefits ac cruing from those who desire a change during the warm months? If, instead of whenever a grand old tree. shades the road a bit, we would encourage it rather than hew it down; if we would clean the ground about the magnificent springs with which this section is blessed, and let it be known that camp ers are allowed; if we would only ap preciate our forests and streams, in stead of denuding the hills add letting the good soil waste itself by washing away, this might become the profitable play ground for travelers en route to Southern or Northern resorts; yea. we might induce them to remain and be come valuable citizens. A. G. Rand, of Linwood, was in King ston Thursday. Mr. Cary Dodd has accepted a posi tion with the McFadden company, a large concern having branch nouses throughout the South. Messrs.

Two fathers from the Catholic Marist college drove up from Atlanta Sunday and took luncheon with Miss Ada Beck. It is understood that the college is con sidering acqu.ring this handsome prop erty, and using it for school purposes. It would make an ideal outdoor school for delicate children, or a summer home for anyone, as the house is am,ply large for a real summer resort, with wide spreading trees on the lawn, and &. creek right at hand for fishing and bathing.

COUNTY TAX (Continued From Page One.) is estimated to run up to an amount equal to 6 cents on each dollar paid in. Or $6 out of every one hundred paid into the county treasury ■ Other necessary sums are set aside for operating the county' government during a 12-month period, and despite the .’act the county's revenue has been out down considerably, as a result of i deeerase in the property valuation returns, the commissioners believe they can economize sufficiently to overcome that deficiency, end at the same time not neglect any public service which , the people have a right to expect. School Taxes Increased. | As will be remembered, the people of j Georgia favored, by their vote in the i last election on constitutional amend ments, the levying of a general tax in every rural school district. This tax amounts to 50 cents on the one hundred dollars, or $5 on the thousand. As can be seen from a reading of the official notice of the levy published elsewhere in this issue, this tax is ap olicable in every school district of the county except all lands and properties within the city limits- of the city of Cartersville and the town of Adairs vihe. The reason for this exemption, of course is because these towns al ready, and have been for some years, and have been for some years', levy a special school tax for the purpose of operating their school systems. For several years past a numb .r of > districts throughout the county have I voted and had levied upon them a spe- j cial school tax, and money thus se- | cured was used in providing for better I schools, as well as for longer school terms. Tax-pavers in these districts will hardly notice the difference when they go to pay their taxes in the fall, but in those sections of the county where the local school tax has not been levied, the increase will amount to $5 on each thousand dollars' taxes re turned. Otherwise, there has not been a dol lar's raise in taxes this year, and the people of the county will thank the commissioners for making this wise decision. They are doing a (treat deal of work, but it is being done so eco nomically they feel certain they can keep it up, and at the same time not spend more than the county's income, paying cash as they go, and paying back debts, too.

CARTERSVILLE, GEORGIA The place to buy—Money Back, if you want it.” IMPROVEMENTS BY (Continued From Page One.) by the time present improvements are ville, as well as a number of would-be subscribers at Atco. who, up to this time, have been unable to get phone connections. As well be remembered, this company asked for a raise in its rates and prom ised if they were granted, the raises asked for, they would spend the money completed, to furnish phone service to West End and other parts of Carters in plant betterments. It would seem that CartersviUe is on e of the first towns to share in the company's im provement plan, and this fact is no doubt due to the activity of Mr. R. M. Collins, the very efficient local man ager for the Southern Bell. The construction work has been un der the direction of Mr. McGee, and a latTge crew of trained workers have spent the past several weeks in and around CartersviUe, furnishing a good sized pay roll, a largo part of which no doubt has been spent locally. Incident ally, it might be stated that Mr Wil liam W. Watson, the young man who was so painfully hurt when a pole fell with him on Bank block, the early part of June, has recovered completely, and is again on the job. assisting Mr. Mc- Gee in completing the work in Cartex-s --ville. Thirteen young ladies are regularly employed at the Cartex-sville exchange, and a sufficient number of them are on duty at all hours, day and night, to answer your call and give you as effi cie it service as possible. Manager Collins states that in addi tion to the young ladies, there are two men connected with the local plant, who are on duty at all times, ready to look after trouble reports and keep the company's plant and lines in good shape Eats Like a Wood Chopper suffering from stomach trouble and j suflering from stomach trouble and bloating, in which I could eat only spar ingly of the simplest food.
