Cartersville, : Georgia Details Regarding College Proposition (Continued From Page One.) i E Brown, West Asheville, .V. C ; Rev. | John Q. Harrison Macon Ga., and Rev. J K Hudson, of Adairsvilie. All the above facts were very inter estingly set forth by various speakers at the Tuesday luncheon. Will Not Conflict. Bupt. J. W. Jackson, of the county schools, the next speaker, said he saw no possible conflict between the county schools and the operation of such a school a.s is now proposed. On the other hand, he said, its coming to Bar tow county would be of inestimable value, and serve to quicken interest in educational matters. He heartily fa vored the proposal, he said. Mr, Oscar T. Peeples, responding to the query, “Can We Get It?” made an eloquent appeal for all citizens to be stir themselves in securing for Bartow county this institution. He pointed out the fact that both Harvard and Yale had very small beginnings. “And yet, just look at them today—colleges of great power, and a mighty force upon the educational life of our country.” "Can we get this school? Of course we can, Mr. Chairman, and I, for one, pledge you and those most interested, niy hearty support and influence,” said Mr. Peeples, amid an outburst of en thusiasm seldom witnessed in such a gathering. Touching on the economic phases of the establishing of such a school, Mr. James W. Vaughan, Sr., made an elo quent plea for every citizen to rally to this opportunity, declaring that it offer ed greater possibilities to the county than anything he had the least idea of ever again interesting in coming here to ir.ake its permanent abode. Levi Shaw “Delivered.” When Mr. Calhoun, who very ably presided, told Mr. Levi Shaw he was expected to speak “just one minute,” that gentleman arose and in liis own inimitable manner, went to the heart of the question w'hen he said that many things were now' coming Cartersville ward. “But nothing in my time has started this way that meant so much to every citizen; yea, every boy and girl in the entire community, as this here school youall are er talking about. I say, folks, we just must take off our coat, go to work, and not stop until we have brought home the bacon ” “It will put Cartersville on the map,” said Mr. M. L. Fleetwood, as he enu merated the advertising possibilities that would accrue to the town with the establishment of such a school here. "Think what the city of Athens did, when it raised $143,000, when it was only asked for $120,000 for the Univer sity of Georgia, just the other day.” He also mentioned what great,good had re sulted from starting such schools in other sections of th e state, and declared that the hare announcement of the fart that Cartersville had been awarded this school would amply repay the business men of Cartersville for any sacrifice that might be necessary to secure the Northwest Georgia Baptist school for this community. Means Thousands of Dollars. Mr. Jos. S. Calhoun, presiding as toastmaster, spoke on the phases as to what such a school would mean to the town and county, from a business stand point. He enumerated many things that it would do, chief of which would be the bringing of some 200 to 300 stu dents, who would spend on an average of not less than S2O a month in this im mediate community. “Think for a mo ment just what this would mean, and I don't believe you business men will be long in grasping this opportunity of do ing something worth while for our im mediate community,” he added. Mr. Warren Dodd was then called upon, but lie said that Col. C. C. Pitt man could speak for him, "and say it better than I can.” Mr. l’ittman's remarks were timely and brought about considerable enthu siasm. especially when he called for a standing vote as to whether or not “we want this school bad enough to put our shoulder to the wheel and put this thing across in a big way." The vote was unanimous to a man, more than sixty business men responding to this invitation, thus pledging themselves to go out and work until funds sufficient to interest the two boards and the sur vey committee have been raised. One of the brightest talks of the-en tire gathering came toward the hour if adjournment, when Mr. Brad Tatum arose and. as he confessed, literally "un bosomed his heart.” He decjared this was a rare opportunity, one that comes but once in a lifetime. For that reason he pleaded with forceful logic to the business men present to do "the \iig thing” and get this school for this com munity. What Must Be Done. To get this school, the business men of Cartersville and contiguous territory must raise a sum sufficient to purchase a site and deed it in fee simple to the two boards, which will, in turn spend not less than SIOO,OOO in equipping the school, which will, from its inception, take ranks with Locust Grove Institute, as it now is. The local school would within a very few years, become one of much higher curriculum than is now the case at Locust Grove, it is conti dently predicted. The conditions which must be met, however, before proposals emanating locally can be considered, are set forth in the following conditions: "1. Land. Sufficient on which to erect administration building and two dormitories to accommodate 250 pupils, with ample ball ground, playground and other athletic facilities, barns and out houses for cattle, truck gardening and pasturage. Said land to be in fee sim ple. "2. Contributions. Any additional offer may be in one, two or three years, first year being in cash. it is also un derstood that local banks will lend amounts equal to deferred payments and as much more as state and home miss,on boards might need in the en terprise. or hanks have to lend. Said contributions and pledges must be with full assurance of complete redemption "3- Pupils. State possible number of pupils to be secured from local com munity. ”4. Water and Lights. Give estimate of water supply and lighting facilities, giving contract rate. “5. General. Give any facts that will display to advantage your location, such as moral conditions, church op portunity, railroads, highways, etc. “Any further information may be ob tained from Dr. A. E. Brown, West Asheville, N. C., or Dr. John G. Harri son Macon, Ga. Send proposals to Dr. J. W. O'Hara, Cartersville, Ga.” Where Plans Started. The entire matter, as presented to the business men here this week, is one that has been carefully considered, and has not been arrived at hastily. The Baptist people have been consid ering it for sorn-e months past, as may be evidenced from a resolution read and adopted unanimously at the recent meeting of the Middle Cherokee Bap tist Association, which convened in Cartersville September 21 and 22 of this year. Rev. Josiah Crudup, of Dalton, read the following petition to that body, and it is published at this time, in order that all the facts may become known locally: Petition. The Middle Cherokee Baptist Associa tion : To the Home Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention, and the Executive Board of the Baptist Con vention of the State of Georgia, joint ly and severally: Greeting—We, the Middle Cherokee Baptist Association, in regular annual session assembled at Cartersville First Baptist Church, for ourselves and in behalf of others in like situation with us, and inviting the co-operation and help of all good people, and especially the Baptist peoille and other good Christian people of Northwest Georgia, make these our representations of facts and suggestions, and present our re rest as follows to-wit: Fact 1. The section knows as North west Georgia, speaking generally,com parises a territory of about eighty miles long and sixty miles wide, extend ing between a north and south line between the Cohutta Mountains on the north and Marietta on the southwest ward to the Alabama state line. There are emraced in this territory the fol lowing Baptist Associations, to-wit: Catoosa, Chattooga. Concord, Coosa, Floyd County, Haralson, Lookout Val ley, Middle Cherokee, Noonday, North Georgia, Polk County and Coosawattee. Fact 2. This territory comprises a splendid section of our state, both from an economic standpoint, and also be cause of the quality of the people who live here. We have a large popula tion of white people,mostly of Anglo- Saxon descent, and the Baptist greatly predominate. In fact, there are nearly as many white Baptist as all other church members combined. Fact 3. There is in this territory a great dearth of educational facilities. Ther are a few high schools of ex cellent grade, and there are a number of state schools doing high school work. These are increasing, and doubtless will continue to do so. But there is a special dearth of Baptist institutions. There are five Baptist schools in the border counties in the eastern half of North Georgia, and not a single such institution in Northwest Georgia, north of Rome. Shorter College is a great school for girls, but only a few of our girls are in position to patronize it be cause of the expense and because of a of preparatory schools Hearn Aca demy has been a blessing to its section, and has sent out some of our best men, but it is on the extreme edge of our territory, and because of its distance and lack of equipment has not drawn many students from Northwest Geor gia.and does not at present offer the inspiration and the educational facilities that we need. We are informed that the trustees of Hearn Academy are willing to pool the interest of Hearn with us and join in the election of a school at whatever place seems best within this territory. Fact 4.—We are now practically estopped by the Seventy-five Million Dollar Campaign from proceeding in dependently to build a school because of our pledges to that campaign. We have pledged to the extent of our ability and our people would not respond to another appeal at the present time. Fact 5. —We have paid liberally to the Seventy-five Million Dollar Cam paign and are pledged for the next three years. And in the campaign in which the pledges were made it was freely stated that in the survey of needs upon which the campaign was based there was a provision for a Bap tist school in Northwest Georgia, and support of the campaign was obtained, in some measure at least, upon thae consideration. Fact 6.—lt is our belief that an ac ademy of no higher grade that that of the state high school would not serve our purpose. We need such a school a.s would attract our Baptist young people from all parts of our territory. Such a school would have to take them beyond the high school. We suggest “Cartersville, Ga., Nov. 8, 1921. “Cash Grocery Cos.: “Gentlemen—We have tried all the so-called high grade flours on the market, and can say that BLUE SEAL tops them all in quality, yet cheaper in PRICE.” This testimonial came unsolicited from one of the largest consumers of HIGH-GRADe flour in Bartow Cos.

NOVEMBER 17, 1921. a Junior College that would take them one or two years beyond the state high school, and prepare them for one of the higher classes at our standard Baptist colleges. Such a school would be an inspiration to our Baptist people, would draw students from our whole section, and would give a fairly good education to those who were not able to pursue their studies in colledge. A mere high school would come into competition with state high schools everywhere, the young people would not leave their homes for the difference, and our Bap tist school would accomplish very little beyond its immediate locality. We also suggest an industrial department in which students would learn how to work efficiently at manual trades and industrial arts. Wherefore these our petitions and requests: Request 1. —That you will take these representations and suggestion under advisement and consider them from the standpoint of the needs and wishes of the Baptist people of Northwest Georgia. Request 2.—That the State Board will set aside and give whatever may he available from its resources and that the Home Mission Board will set aside and give the money indicated in its survey for a school in Northwest Geor gia and that these funds be consoli dated into a fund sufficiently large to build a school that will meet our needs. Request 3.—That the State Board and the Home Mission Board will each ap point appropriate committees to confer with one another and with representa tives from each of our associations in Northwest Georgia to work out some feasible pian for the consolidation of funds and resources, and for the es tablishment, erection, government, and support of such a school as will meet the needs of the Northwest Georgia Baptists: so that the., overlapping of territorial spheres of action of the Home Mission Board and the State Board may not prove to be the prover bial tw r o stools which will let us down with something less than our people need and are entitled to. Request 4.—That if modes of activity under which the boards, or either of them, do their work do not permit of the action we desire, we ask in that event that you embody these, our rep resentatives and retfuests, in your next reports to the Southern Baptist Con vention and the Baptist State Conven tion, as may be necessary, that these bodies may take whatever action may seem right and just. And we hereby appoint Rev. Josiah Crudup to lay before you this our action with assurance of our fraternal esteem, and our cordial co-operation in all the great organized work of the Southern Baptist Convention and the Baptist State Convention of the State of Georgia.” Facts About Cancer The following interesting facts are taken from a leaflet issued by the high est medical authorities, and furnished us by Dr. W. E. Wofford, one of the best known of Cartersville’s physicians: Cancer is rapidly increasing. In 1900 th ( . death rate from tubercu losis in the United States was per 100,000. At the same time it was only 63 per 100,000 from cancer- In 1916—15 years later —the death rate from tuberculosis has decreased 29.8%, while the death rate from cancer has increased 29.8%. In 1900 a great educational camp aign was started and thousands of people all over the country began to result that in 15 years there were 60,000 lives being saved annually in "What education has done for tub erculosis, it can do for cancer.” 'Cancer is among the most ancient afflictions of mankind.” Descriptions of conditions now known to be cancer are found among the fragmentary re cords of ancient India and Persia. It was known to the Egyptians before the time of Moses and is distinctly men tioned in the Papyrus Ebers 1500 B. C. Herodotus tells us that Democedes cured Atossa, daughter of Darius, King of Persia, of a cancer of the breast. 520 B. C. Hippocrates accumulated a vast quantity of literature on the subject He was the first to use the cautery, a hot piece of metal, on a skin cancer, 450 B. C. Leonides of Alexandria,lßo B. C., first described retraction of the nipple in cancer of the breast and, us ing a scalpel and cautery, performed an operation almost as extensive as the one perfected by Dr. Ilalsted only 20 years ago. Galen, the Surgeon and Physiologist, who died A. D. 200, wrote extensively on the subject. His writings were still in use as late as the time of Queen Elizabeth, and with little exception there was no advance in our knowledge of cancer pathology throughout the Byzantine and Renaissance periods. During the dark ages, cancer was looked upon as an evidence of Divine wrath, for the ban of the Church on medical, as well as other scientific the nature of research. Asa resnlt of this belief, a great wave of cure and quackery spread over Europe. which reached its height during and immediately following the reign of Queen Elizabeth, so that every ef fort to ascertain the‘true nature or caus,e of cancer was defeated. In 1628 Marvy discovered the cir culation of the blood; the lymph ves sels and nodes were described by Olan in 1652, and 10 years later, as the use of the microscoqe became more gene ral, Malqighii saw for the first time the red blood cells; but strange as it may seem, the cells of which our bodies are comqosed were not discov ered until 1838. Since that time we have learred a dreat deal about mali gnant diseases Millions of dollars have been spent and the brightest minds in the world have been, and are still, at work, but the immediate cause of can cer has not been discovered. We know however if an early can cer is completely removed, it will not return--the disease can be cured! We know that cancer is not con tageous or infectious at any time. We know that cancer is not heredi tary--lhat it is not the result of "bad blood". We know that there is a time when every cancer can be cured, for it ex ists first in what is known to scien tific men as a ‘‘dreamer.’’ We know that cancer is first a lump or sore that “can be felt with the fingers or seen with the eyes” or which, if we know how to interpret we could cure. We know that nine cancers out of ten do not cause pain in the euily cur able stage--this is unfortunate. We know that cancer starts as the result of long continued irritation. If the irritation is removed, the can cer will not develop. We krow that cancer develops at the edge of a scar —where the sear and normal tissue meet. If the scar is removed, the cancer will not de velop. We know that certain definite symp toms precede every cancer, just as surely as a wind cloud precedes a rain storm —the time is coming when these symptoms will be heeded. In a pamphlet recently issued by the publis health service we are told that "there are annually 100,000 people in the United States afflicted with some form of cancer. Through ignorance or neglect, nine out of every- ten cases are at this present time fatal. If the proper treatment were instituted early fully half of these lives could be saved.” One woman in every eight dies of cancer at the age of -10 years or over, — three times as many women as men die of cancer between the ages of 35 and 45, and twice as many- between 45 and 55—from that age on the ra io is more nearly- equal. In the United States, ten people die from some form of cancer every hour. Estimates from the U. S. mortality reports show that 4 per cent of cancers are located in the mouth, 10 per cent in the breasts, 15.5 per cent in the fe male generative organs, and 53 per cent in the digestive organs and within the abdomen. Our knowledge of cancer is far from complete, but— We know enough to save the lives of at least 30,000 to 40.000 people annually, if we can arouse the medical profession to its duty and the people to their danger in time to take proper action We know that every person over 35 years of age, who is not sure about a lump sore or unnatural discharge, should consult a competent physician and demand a thorough examination. If the first doctor consulted is not sure, ask for a consultation. We know that every doctor in the state can and should prepare himself to give a ’■oasonably sate opinion in nearly all cases. We know that procrastination has caused the loss of many valuable lives. John 11. Murphy once said, “It is the time and not the extent of the treat ment that determines the final outcome of cancer.” We know that any doctor who tells you that he has a sure cure for cancer of the uterus, is saying something he cannot prove. Surgery is the only hope for deep cancers, and it must be resort ed to early,—procrastination means death! The new sugar coated chewing guni^flJa^SgWKoAW which everybody likes—you will.

Agents for *■*—*"A new romt xsfmerieas foremost fine candij Time Now to Kill 801 l Weevil While He Is Dormant Judge John Henry Wikle, always awake to anything for the general good of the people of Bartow county, sug gests that the following information, written by- D. C. Harrower, cotton ex pert, in the Wall Street Journal, is par ticularly timely at this season: With moderate help and good advice the grasshopper was checked, and fin ally conquered. The boll weevil is not beyond our strength. That the present cotton crop is about half the size of that of last year is a certainty. In a large measure this is the result of the boll weevil’s depredations. As cotton production is the principal industry of the South, and the insect now covers the whole producing region, there is no exaggeration in saying that the weevil presents one of our greatest economic problems. The invasion calls for a prompt and vigorous defense. Leading men of the South recognize the fact that there is danger of small farmers yielding to panic and leading the land, or perhaps being stampeded into devoting their whoie time and re sources to new and untried crops. Rea sonable diversification will be neces sary, and is desirable. Indeed, one great asspran* of the South today is the fact that this year it raised un usual crops of food and feedstuffs. But cotton must always be the great sur plus crop of the South, raised on a smaller acreage with a larger yield p r acre. This means that the Southern farm ers must adopt toward the weevil the slogan of the soldiers in France—“ Treat 'em rough!” There is much that can be done now. Entomologists who have experimented with the weevil say that if the stalks are destroyed as soon as possible after picking, millions of the insects will be killed which otherwise would breed next year- The reason is that the insect feeds on nothing but the cotton plant. Deprive it of its food and it must die. Dr. W. D. Hunter, of the U. S. bu reau of entomology, is authority for the statement that even after killing frosts, weevils are active, so that they may be destroyed in this way until the weather gets so cold they must hibernate. This statement should be sufficient to send the farmers through every cotton field to destroy every single vestige of wee vil food. Then comes the question of winter shelter and cover. Possessing the power of adapting itself to climatic changes, the weevil has marched northward as it gradually became acclimated so that it can stand any climate cotton can stand All it needs is a little covering in the winter. Farmers can meet it here by cleaning up and burning all trash in the fields, clearing around stumps and fences and burning over the banks of ditches, and not permitting haystacks to remain near the cotton fields That there will be weevils next year is certain; but by destroying their food and shelter now the numbers can be materially lessened. The monuments scattered so thickly through the South are mute witness to the concerted, de termined effort it once made to meet another invasion. Here is on ( . which in money damage is equally serious. An equally concerted effort should be put forth to meet it without delay. THIS, TOO, WILL PASS (Hiram Smith, in Calhoun Times.) No matter how terrible the experi ence through which you are passing, just keep still; it will pass. Heart breaking sorrow, sleepless shame, ec static joy, victory or defeat, are alike mutable things in the moving currents of the world, and whether it is sunlight or shadow across the path, these will all change and disappear in the com ing years of time. Be patient; keep silent; bide vour time. All things change. The defeat of today may prove a victory tomorrow. After the greatest heartache comes sure surcease from sorrow. Dawn follows hard after the retreating shadows of night. Bright spring flowers bloom af ter the cold and darkness of winter; resurrection is the after fruit of death. Be patient; wait. The sky will clear, the dawn come, and pain cease. The world’s travail foretells the birth of a better order of things. The fear of poverty cannot grip you for long, and banished love will come back with a smiling face. Bide your time. Tomorrow w ill bring opportunity, sunshine, laughter, disap pointment, tears. It will bring the dawn of life, the labor and action of mid-life, the serenity of old age and the great adventure of death, the magic dawn of resurrection’s morning. Be still. The magic wheel turns. You will win your fortune tomorrow, in the tomorrow of time, or the tomorrow of eternity. A Timely Suggestion.
