The Tribune-News last week pub lished i composite table showing the standing of the fifteen counties, accord ing to the announcement of the judges at the Southeastern fair. This table placed Bartow county in seventh place, and Brooks county in eighth place. Now comes the Quitman (Brooks county) Free Press, giving som e "inside facts," which, taken at their face value, would place Bartow ; county at the head of the list, because ' she leads Brooks by eight-tenths of a 1 point. The comment of the South Georgia paper makes interesting reading, and it follows: It i> apparent that the Southeastern fair in Atlanta contrived by a series of the most stupid blunders to have com'- 1 P lately lost prestige with a majority of j the exhibitors who went to it this year. ' The treatment accorded Brooks county, ! it seems, was only one of many in- j stances of mismanagement and viola- ' tion of rules.

This would have been very gratifying in competition with tie tween thirty and forty exhibits from the seven southeastern states, IF—the awards had been fairly mads. The fact that practially every exhibitor at the fair signed an agreement gotten up among themselves that they would not exhibit at the Southeastern Fair again indicates what they thought of the way the exhibits were judged and the fair was managed. County Agent Gaddis states that the association violated the rules printed in its catalogue in bold face type in two important and vital points: First, that only the seven southeast ern states could compete for premiums: Second, that the exhibits must be made up of stuff grown during the cur rent year and it must be grown in the county entering the exhibits. Exhibits from two Ohio counties took second and third premiums. The Ohio exhibitors said that Manager Striplin of the fair, visited the Ohio state fair and induced them to bring their ex hibits to Atlanta; that they did not know they were violating the rules, they are veteran fair exhibitors and felt indignant that they had been plac ed in a false position and they were among the exhibitons who signed the agreement to boycott the fair in the future. Mr. Gaddis says that another point which gave great dissatisfaction was that only one judge was engaged to grade the exhibits. It was found that a great many miistakes were made in PRESIDENT’S PROCLAMATION DECLARES ARMISTICE DAY A HOLIDAY AND URGES PRAYER Washington, I>. C-. Nov. 17- —Preui- j dent 'Harding Saturday night issued i a proclamation declaring Armistice | Day Nov. 11. a legal holiday "as a mark of respect to the memory of those who gave their lives in the late World War, as typified by the unknown and unidentified American soldier who is to he buried in Arlington National Cenu tery on that day.” The President recommended to the governors of the States that they call upon their people "to pause in their usual pursuits as a mark of respect." He futher recommended that all public and church bells he tolled between 11:45 and 12 noon on Nov. 11 and that from noon to two minutes past that time "all devout and patriotic citizens of the United States indulge in a period of silent thanks to God for those valu able, valorous lives and of supplication for His divine mercy and for His bless ings upon our beloved country." The proclamation follows: Whereas, a joint resolution of Con gress, approved Nov. 4. 1921, provides that tlie President is hereby authorized to issue a proclamation declaring Nov. 11, 1921 a holiday, as a mark of re spect to the memory of those who gave their lives in the late World War, as typified by the unknown and unidenti fied American soldier who is to be buried in Arlington National Cemetery on that day. Now, therefore, I, Warren G. Hard ing. President of the United States of America, in pursuance of the said joint resolution of Congress, do hereby de clare Nov. 11. 1921. a holiday, as a mark of respect to the memory of those who gave their lives in the late World War, as typifiey by the unknown and un classifying and making awards and these errors were so glaring the ex hibitors complained. The fair man t agement explained by saying the judge was ill and was unable to do his duties properly; he then attemped to retrace his steps and reclassify the exhibits. This naturally created a great deal of irritation. Brooks county had 70 points against the 75 given to Montgomery county, Ala., first prize winner. Even at this, Mr. Gaddis states that an error of ten points was made in Montgomery county’s favor, but granting this, Brooks county was clearly entitled to nothing less than second under the rules.

A Legal Holiday Throughout State Armistice day, November 11, will be observed in Georgia as a legal holiday. Governor Hardwick on Monday is sued a proclamation in which he called upon all people in the state to pay trib ute to the heroes of the world war by observance of the anniversary date of the signing of the armistice. The wording of the proclamation followed closely that of the national proclama tion. The hanks in all Georgia cities and towns will be closed as a result of the governor’s action and all negotiable paper maturing on that day will fall due on the following day, T. R. Ben nett, superintendent of the state bank ing department, said. “In looking into the matter I have found that the governor has authority to set aside as a legal holiday any date, providing such action is for public thanksgiving or for religious-purposes.” Mr. Bennett said. "Armistice day comes under this head and the state banks will close on that date." Aged Resident Has Narrow Escape “I was at my work, my limbs became numb, I got dizzy and faint, my ears seemed stopped up, I had been troubled with gas on my stomach and severe bloating after meals. Doctors failed to help me.

Drive Is Urged For Free Books A plan to provide by public subscrip tions, free school books foi all public schools of the state, was announced in Atlanta Saturday by M. L. Johnson, member of the house of representatives from Bartow county. "I have undertaken to help out in Bartow county on the university drive, and I expect to aid on the Tech drive for funds, when that is started again,” he said. “Since the legislature is not disposed to do anything in the matter of pro viding free school books, and the state is not in the position to find money to provide the books, if such measures were passed, I believe it would be en tirely proper to go out before the peo ple and have them make voluntary subscriptions to a general free school book fund. “When the university and Tech have completed their drives these two insti out in raising the free school took tutions can then jump right in and help fund.” RHEUMATIC ACHES QUICKLY RELIEVED THE racking, agonizing rheumatic ache is quickly relieved by an ap plication of Sloan’s Liniment.

Adair & Lewis Postmaster Walton Calls Attention To Bad Place in Road Cass Station, Ga., Nov 17 1921. 9 Editor Tribune-News, Cartersville, Ga.: My Dear Sir: As one who is interested in the good name of old Bartow county, and its promotion of the building of good highways and something that will be to the Interest of the citizens, as w r ell as to those who traverse our roads, I want to draw attention of the com missioners to a piece, of important road on the way to Kingston just beyond th e bridge at Ttvo-Run creek, where there is a very dangerous place near the top of the rise of the hill. This place is on one side of the road. There is a deep ravine of from 15 to 20 feet, and in one place the road is only about fifteen feet wide. Also, the road is washing at places towards the ravine, and I suppose the lerigrn of this place is sev eral hundred yards, but not all the way so narrow. And what I want t— sug gest is that this place be put in con dition that will eliminate the danger of travel along there, especially of auto mobile travel, as there is every likeli hood of cars meeting at this precipice any time, and especially those people who are not acquainted with the road |MMn| Hi ; :^|l Ilf Sbbß — ff*-* ii f We have Furniture priced as low as you would want to go, and we will please you at the other extreme.

My attention was called to this on my inspection of the rural route from this place, as postmaster and as a rep resentative of “Uncle Sam” to elimi nate bad roads on rural routes. I want to insist on the commissioners that they have this very dangerous place eliminated in some way, either by a wall or change of roadbed. This is not only in the interest of the mail carrier who travels this road every day, but all who pass this way. And the sooner it is looked after it may avert a great disaster and loss of lives. V.
