NEW FREIGHT RATES GIVEN ON BARYTES Anew freight tariff, just made public in Cartersville i give a special rate on crude barytes, from this district to Eastern points, thus enabling the Cartersville miners to better compete with foreign importations. The companies directly benefltted by this announcement are the New Jersey Zinc Company. Thompson, Weiman & Cos., Paga Mining Company, the Du- Pont interests, and others now oper ating in the local field. As is well known, anything that ben efits these companies also is a great factor in the business life of the dis trict, insuring more continuous opera tion, and consequently more jobs for labor of all kinds. The Thompson Weinman Company now has so ln fifteen thousand tons of barytes, in one pile, and this will be forwarded as once to the Grnselll Chemical Company, in New Jersey. In a car, there are about 35 tons of Bary tes, and very little figuring is necessary to show how many freight cars will be necessary to move this big pile, now ready for shipping. No announcement received here re cently has caused more interest than this reduction in freight. It is expect ed operations in many of the mines will be resumed on a large scale immed iately, as a direct result. BOY SCOUTS OBSERVING WEEK INCARTERSVILLE The local members of the Boy Scouts, to the number of thirty-two, are this week observing National Boy Scout Week, under the director of their Scout Master, Rev. L. C. Vass. This Troup is one of the livest in the State, and during the ensuing year some interest plans are to be carried out. The Scout Oath is as follows: On my honor I will do my best— 1. To do my duty to God and my country, and to obey the Scout Law. 2. To help other people at ali times. 3. To keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight. The Scout Law provides that a Scout must be Truthworthy, Loyal, Helpful, Friendly, Courteous, Kind. Obedient, Cheerfui, Thrifty, Brave, Clean and Reverent. Some of the Scout Slogans are: Do a good turn daily. Be prepared. A Scout's honor is to be trusted. Boys will be boys—the kind of boys men let them be or help them to be— which shall it be so far as you are concerned? Or aren’t you concerned? Give a thought to boyhood—but do not stop with a thought. Say it in SERVICE —better boys, a better city—better cities, a better na tion. Harris and Mayes Take Charge Of Wikle Book Store Messrs. J. Y.

It was decided to put on a drive for contributing members of the Associated Charities, beginning Friday with the business portion of the city. Wednesday and Thursday of next week there will be a house-to-house canvass. The committee has the work systematized so that each ward will be thoroughly worked by members of the committee. There will be membership cards, and on payment of SI.OO each person will become a contributing member for one year. The campaign will be conducted in a business-like and dignified way. The honor of our city demands that we help the unfortunate ones; the wealth of our city demands that we | reduce disease and death to a minimum, by providing medical attention and nourishing food for the sick and afflicted; and, above all, the Son of Humanity bids us “bear one another’s burdens.” and so fulfil the law of Christ. Have you thought of your less fortunate neighbor these last few days, as you sat by your warm fire and heard the wind howling outside? Have you wondered if anyone in your town was suffering from cold and hunger? Have you said: “I would like to help the poor folks?” It’s up to you! You CAN help! You can join the Asso cii tfd Charities, and' your dollar will help swell the fund the Association is trying to raise within the next week. Be ready with your dollar when a Membership Card is presented. We promise you there will be no BEGGING for your name. It’s up to you !

Omer After the meal had been completed, District Engineer Slmonton, of the State Highway department made an in. teresting talk, outlining the program for road-building in this part of the State. While the route from Carters ville to Fairtnount. Chatsworth and the Tennessee State line, is the best, he declared, the Highway Department has officially designated another route, and it will be some t'me before the bet ter route can be designated, he told his hearers. Mr. Slmonton also made some time ly remarks about the highway, between Cartersville and the Cobb county line, urging that iocai business men devise some plan for cherting the surface of this road, and predicted that if this is not done, the road will become im passable before many months.

No check* will be accepted in the ballot box, so tret all checks cashed before the close of the campaign. Who Will Win 7 The question of just who will win the capital prize is one that hundreds are asking today. Of course, no One can tell who Will drive the Nash away until the last vote has been counted Saturday night The result is very much in doubt as the campaign has proven to be rather close all during the length of the drive. However, the ones who have done their beat work are con fident of the victory and no one will admit defeat. The Tribune-News wishes It could award all candidates an automobile, but of course, this is an impossibility. Prizes wili be awarded only to those who have been active throughout the entire drive and reported at The Tri bune-News office each week. The sec ond prize, a beautiful diamond ring, purchased from and on exhibition at F. M. Kadebaugh’s, is another prize to be proud of. The other prizes, consisting of an Edison Phonograph, silverware set and a cedar chest, are not quite as valuable as the first two prizes, but will more than repay the winner for her efforts. It has been the intention of. the man. agers of this campaign to make the campaign as fair to all parties pos sible, and no one can say that they ; have received impartial treatment All candidates know that no Information of any nature has been forthcoming from the campaign department, and each knows that she will receive the prize her votes entitle her to. All during th e campaign friendly rivalry has been prevalent among the candidates, and all have been good friends It is sure that the winner of the campaign will be greeted by congratulations by the ones who win the other prizes, Instead of enmity The campaign manager would say in his final message to the candi dates, "You have performed your work well. Under the very unfavorable wea ther conditions you have fought hard, when confronted with every discour agement. The associations you have made by entering this campaign should I pay you in the game of life as you I have made new friends and acquaint ; nes who w'll remain wlt v you long | after the campaign has been forgotten, I did even those who faii to w u the HOME TALENT PLAY DELIGHTED BIG AUDIENCE “A Day in the Union Station” Proved Inter esting From Start to Finish Tuesday Even ing. "If they ever need a train caller at the Cartersville station, I nominate Mr. T. B. Leake for that position—he's the best ever.” The above expression, or something similar, was heard on all silos in Car tersville, after the home talent play, "A Bay in the Union Statioji,” had ended at the Grand Opera House Tuesday evening. Mr, Leake "delivered the goods" in professional etyle. and no little credit of the huge success of the undertaking should go to him. But, of course, he had steady and consistent support from every member of the large cast, who did their respec tive parts so well they kept the house ' In a roar of laughter from the rise of the curtain until the last number was presented.
