At the regular weekly meeting of the Cartersville Chamber of Commerce, held at the Park hotel Tuesday noon, Mr. Pembroke R. Eabuzan, vice pres ident and general manager of the Co s Overall Company, of Chat tanooga, made a definite proposition to the business men assembled there to begin immediately the operation of an overall factory in Cartersville. While he did not go into a detailed explanation of his proposition at the luncheon, owing to the short time he had to speak, he gave assurances that if he should begin the operation of the proposed plant in this city, his com pany would be able to use the factory site erected some time ago for a sim ilar concern, and that it would have a capacity pf one hundred dozen pairs of overalls from the start. Within a year’s time, he said, this would be doubled possibly tripled, since he could guar antee a sale for every garment manu factured. He took the matter up with the dl rectos of the Chamber of Commerce. They are now investigating the details of his proposition, and expect to an nounce a decision Immediately, , - It is believed his proposjtjgj* wj[l given very serious a*; nßidera tion," and favor? bid action is expected to be taken by eitiz3ns who realize what a manufacturing plant of this size, em ploying a large force of workers, would mean to Cartersville. Tuesday’s luncheon began with a large number of business men and farmers present. The blessing was said by Dr. tt. E. Dutton and the guests en joyed one of those delicious menus pre pared by Mr. and Mrs. O.'C Omer. J President Wilbur J. Halo introduced Mr. Dabuzan, and after he had made his offer, which was well received, a telegram was read, announcing ttofe seating o f Mrs. IvWm H. Felton as a member irf the ITnited States senate- Tf rweognizing wba.V a distin guished honor had come to a citizen of Cartersville, Immediately directed Sec retary Woodrow to send her a message of congratulations and best wishes. This was done. County Agent Cox, by special re quest, toM of some of the things ac complished through his work in the county during recent months, and he was followed by Mr. Henry Milam, a director of the Euharlee Cheese factory, who gave a brief outline of what had been accomplished so far. and the pros pects for the future of this cheese fac tory. He had sent in a liberal sample of Euharlee cheese, which was thor oughly enjoyed during the luncheon. President Ham said The Flemister Company could easily sell ten times the output now being marketed by the two cheese factories in Bartow county, and he assured Mr. Milam of the or ganization’s great interest in the work already accomplished. At this juncture Mr. M. L- Fleetwood introduced a resolution, which was promptly seconded by a number pres ent, and which passed unanimously. It was as follows: "Be it Resolved by this body, which is composed of representative tax pay ers of Bartow county: "That we are unalterably opposed to a discontinuance of the extension work, as now carried on- in Bartow county, through the county agent and the home demonstration agent; "That we urge the county officials, both present and incoming, to continue this as well as other forward-looking measures, believing that they are for the greatest good to the greatest num ber "That we take this means of con gratulating the county upon having in its employ a man as capable as County Superintendent R. C. Poindexter has proven himself to be. and urge that h-s services be continued. ’ The resolution met with a generous response, ami a number present en tered into the informal discussion. It was brought cut that the Chamber of Commerce numbers among its mem b*shi® representative tax payers of the county, including farmers and busi ness men, and that in view of the changes which must be made in farm ing methods, looking toward a wider diversification than ever before, the county could not afford to take a back ward step at this critical juncsture. The meeting adjourned, to convene again B*xt Tuesday at noon, at which time Mr. Ham announced that other matters of importance would come up for consideration.

The Tribune-News verily believfcs it has the best set of subscribers in the i world. That's only natural, for we. likewise, believe we ore publishing a newspaper among the best people in the world. ' A large majority of these subscribers keep their subscriptions paid up so well we hardly ever find it necessary to send them a statement—they notice their la. bel. and when the time nearly runs out, they send in a remittance. J There are some, as is always the case who are just a bit procrastinating in this matter. I{ is to these good friends we would address the admonition found ab the top of these remarks. lou know folks, we have only, two sources of revenue—pay from subscrip tions, and advertising. We can’t ex pect advertisers to pay all the cost of publishing the paper, so we have a stated subscription price to help make up the deficit. It costs a pile of money to publish a newspaper~you would be surprised if we told you how much It really does cost to get out just one issue Recently we mailed statements to a number of our subscribers, and the re plies have been very good indeed. Just look over this list of folks who have sent in their subscription checks lately, and then—why, just obey that impulse yourself, if you are in arrears, fißa send your along, too. Maybe we’ll pub. lish your nate later, along with other good Samaritans, who come to the res „ciy of Ye Editor.

FREIGHTS ARE HEAVIER NOW Agent Peeler Gives Out Facts That Show Up ward Trend of Busi-; ness. One measure of the improvement in business conditions in Cartersville is seen in the fact that freight originat ing here, handled by the N.. C. & St. h. railway, amounted to 18.859 tons during July, August and September, as compared with only 11,256 tons dur ing the same period last year. In spite of transportation difficulties the N., C. & St. L. was able to handle a considerably larger business out of Cartersville than during the same three months last year. This does not take into account inbound business, for which figures are not available. L D. Peeler. N. & C. agent, who an nounces these figures, says that in spite of the nation-wide car shortage, the N. & C. is making every effort to continue to give increased freight serv ice to the people of Cartersville. The first of fifteen new engines will be put into servic this week, and will soon be followed with 1,000 new freight cars and 15 new passenger cars.

Georgia, November 23, 1922. FIRST NATIONAL j CORRESPONDENT BIG LAND BANK Atlanta Institution, Des tined to Become One of Greatest in the County, Has J. S. Calhoun on Its Directorate. Atlanta, Ga„ Nov. 38.—Sixty-three bank correspondents in the- state of Georgia and Alabama have been ap pointed for the Atlanta joint stock land bank which is now in active oper ation in the Hurt building here. The officers of more than 100 banks, lo cated In the two states are Stockhold ers in the Atlanta institution. It is stated by President A B. Simms that applications on hand fcg- more than a half million dollars, when the bank opened, hav ben greatly increased. Of the several joint stock land banks organized in the United States, pre dictions have been made that the At lanta bank is destined to be one of the most successful, due to the fact that its stock has been placed among 80 many representative bankers and busi ness men In its territory. From amontf these several hundred stockholders the bank has seleced its correspondents, according to President Simms, who will safeguard both the interests of the borrower, who is often the client Of his bank, as well as bear In mind the fact that the Institution means money 'o him. The correspondents will als^ fciti in keeping money in home territory. : Such banks as the one now in opera tion in Atlanta function under the same governmental supervision as the fed eral reserve banks, though, because of their stock being controlled by private Interests, are allowed certain exemp tions which the federal banks do not eh Joy. Both systems are created un der the same government act. The function of the Atlanta bank will be to make first mortgage of from five to forty years at a low rate of interest, at present 6 per cent; to provide cap ital for the purchase of land for agri cultural use; for the purchase of equip ment. fertilizers and live stock neces sary for such farms; for farm build ings and for the improvement of farm lands, and to liquidate the indebted ness of the owner of the land mort gaged, amortization installment payments. The federal farm loan board has re cently approved a Ui,.ty-three-year plan based on a loan ot t 1.060 showing where a payment of $35 paid semi-an nually extinguishes the principal and interest in thirty-three years. Both federal reserve banks and the joint-stock land banks are under the direction of the federal farm loan board with the secretary of the treasury as ex-officio chairman. They issue bonds against their approved farm loans —the joint stock land bank for fifteen times their capital and surplus- These bonds are exempt from federal, state, mu nicipal and local taxation. The act fur ther provides that suclT bonds shall be lawful investment for all fiduciary and trust funds and may be accepted for security of all public deposits. The operation of the law with regard to the making of loans through the joint stock farm land banks 1s simple and practical, it is pointed out Such banks as the Atlanta bank may make loans up to 15 per cent of their capital and sur plus to a single borrower, not exceed ing $50,000, and the borrower does not have to live upon and cultivate the land. The First National Bank of Carters viiie is the bank correspondent of the Atlanta joint bank for Bartow county and vicinity. Mr. Joseph S. Calhoun, it will be re j membered, was recently, elected a.dl , rector in the Atlanta Joint-Stock Land Bank, an honor very worthily be stowed, for Mr. Calhoun is recognized throughout the South as one of the leading bankers of Georgia. Mae Murray In “Fascination” At Dixie Friday Mrs. Harris Cope, manager of the Dixie Theatre, believes that all lovers of beautiful movies will be esp' - ially interested in seeing Mae Murrnv, in "Fascination," at the Dixie Thursday and Friday of this week. Miss Murray has starred in "Peacock Alley." "The Gilded Lily,’’ and other famous Pic tures, and those who have seen her work are sure to witness “Fascination ’ on Thursday and Friday of this week.

Euharlee Club Of Farmers Urges Progressive Steps The Euharlee Farmers' Club, meet ing last Friday at tbe lovely country home of Mr. and G. Herbert Uren, went on record as unanimously endorsing the work of the Extension Service, in which is included the activity of the County Farm Agent, and the County Home Demonstration Agent. This action is considered most sig nificant, in view of the claims of some that the farmers are not in favor of a continuation of the work. The action was taken by the Euhar lee Club, after a number present had discussed the matter, and it was gen erally agreed that to discontinue the work at this juncture would be noth ing less than a calamitV. and one that would not be tolerated for a mo ment by the thinking farmers of the county. At noon, Mr. and Mrs. Uren served their guests with a most delightful din ner that was fully in keeping with the hospitality of this home and section of the county. After the dinner, the gathering heard a number of interesting talks on perti nent subjects, and late in the afternoon the visitors departed, feeling certain the day had been most pleasantly and profitably spent.

Burglars Flee Before Pistol Shots of Paris (By VELMA ABERNATHY) Special Correspondent. Atco, Nov. 23 —(Special-)—Mr. 7,eke Paris had a close call from a burglar here last Friday night. Two strange fellows applied at the 1 company office for work, but could not meet the requirements, and left. Mr. John Griffin, thinking they were suspicious characters, warned Mr Claude Brown, factory superintendent, who arranged for Mr. John Elrod Elrod to sleep in the office that night. Mr. Paris, while making his usual rounds, raised his lantern to get a view of the back door of the office, when suddenly a pistol shot rang eot. and be fore he realized it, the would-be mur derers and robbers had shot Ms lan - tern out. It was then that things started. fbr Mr. Paris began firing in the direction from whence came the first uhotig but in the general confusion that ensued, the burglars made a getaway, but. not until Mr. Elrod, sleeping in the office, had been aroused by the firing, outside, He came out of theofice and begat firing, too, the marauders beating it hasty retreat, before they could be captured. This should be a lesson to any on* who thinks they can get away with any robbery around Atco, for Office, Paris can’t be bluffed—he is not thoi kind.
