MR. JAMES W. VAUGHAN, SR.
During Third of Century

0l course his well-known modesty
would not permit his giving it out, but
by the ’’grape vine route” a Tribune-
News reporter this week learned that
Tuesday, January 23, was the thirty,
th'rd anniversary of the coming of Mr.
James W. Vaughan to Cartersville.
He has rounded out more than a third
of a century's residence in Carters
ville, and is today one of the town's
best known and deservedly popular cit
izens.
Mr. Vaughan is a native of Gwinnett
county, first seeing the light of day near
Lawrenceville fifty years and more ago.
After living on father’s farm until
he was 18 years old. he went to Missis
sippi and. in the delta section fved
and worked for three and a half years.
Feeling that greater opportunity lay
before him in Georgia than in fhe delta
section, on January 23 1890. he entered
business with H. J. Porter, as Porter &
Vaughan. Five years later he bought
opt Mr. Porter'.© interest, and since
then has been at the head of the J. W.
Vaughan Company, well-known Car
tersvilie merchants.
He was married in June 1893, to Miss
Fannie Williams, daughter'©# Mr and
Mrs. A. C Williams. Six children have
been born to this ua on. J. W. Vaughan.

WIND AND SLEET STORM
EXACTED A HEAVY TOLL
One of the most disastrous
wind and sleet storms recorded
in local history, passed over
the Cartersville district Mon
day night and Tuesday.
Asa result, the city was in
darkness, so far as electricity
was concerned, for more than
forty hours, lines of the Geor
gia Railway & Power Company
being completely demoralized.
Several crews of workmen
worked unceasingly, trying to
untangle the storm’s ravages
but it was not until one-thirty
o’clock Thursday morning was
current finally secured.
This current came from the
Alabama Power Company lines
which were not “ r ut in” until
Mayor Tinsley and City Mana
ger Cook entered such vigor
ous and positive protests, that
the power company officials
realized it was useless to tem
porize with the local authorities
longer. It is said that Carters
ville could have had power and
lights all day Wednesday, but
for the refusal of the power
company to do what they ulti
mately agreed to do.
Mayor Tinsley and Mr. Cook
kept in behind the offending
company, and when it was
realized the city’s water supply
was getting dangerously low. a
demand was made upon the
power company officials to “cut
in” on the emergency lines.
A Novel Experience -i'
With it all, however, citizens
had manv‘ novel experiences.
'Lamps were sold by the dozens
and the supply of candles came
hi3 jurisdiction. In addition
to the cotton end of the busi
ness, a large and commodi
ous potato curing house is
also located in this plant. A
large quantity of potatoes
have been satisfactorily cured
here, and good prices obtain
ed for them, later in the sea-
R’member
near being exhausted, so great
was the demand tor some sem
blance of light.
The heavy winds during
Monday night took the roof off
the grandstand at the fair
grounds, casting it several feet
distance.
Mr. J. M. Ingram, a well
known farmer, residing in the
Smithville district, reported the
wind took his kitchen roof off
and uprooted a number of trees
in his community.
Tuesday was one of the most
disagreeable days experienced
locally in years. At the West
Side school, it was found im
possible to keep some of the
rooms warm, and the kiddies
were dismissed at noon Tues
day.
The Southern Bell Telephone
lines in this section were badly
affected, and up to late Thurs
day afternoon, communication
with the northern part of the
county by phone was out of the
question. Manager Collins re
ported he had a large force at
work, repairing the damages,
but it will be several days be
fore normal service can be ex
pected.
Trains entering Cartersville
Tuesday, Wednesday and into
Thursday evening, were from
thirty minutes to five hours off
schedule, many of them, but
no serious wash-outs have been
reported.

made driving along the roads
in autos extremely hazardous.
One car skidded upon a bank,
near the Sproulle Fouche place,
and then turned over. Its oc
cupants were unhurt.
A party motoring toward
Cartersville, from Acworth ran
off one of the deep fiills in the
Allatoona hills, but, fortunate
ly, no one was hurt, and the
car was not badly damaged.
With the coming of the cold
wave, there would have been
some suffering among the less
fortunate, in Cartersville, but
the Associated Charities enter
ed the breach, and very little
real suffering has resulted so
far. as a result of the kindly
ministrations of this wonderful
organization, which is under
leadership of Mrs. P. C. Flem
ister, its president.
Of course, all users of elec
tricity, especialy power consu
mers, were “completely done
for” all day Tuesday and Wed
nesday, the mines of the dis
trict, and the Cartersville Knit
ting Mills, which are naturally
the largest users, suffering most
from the complete shut-down.
The motors in The Tribune-
News plant were silent, like all
the rest, for more than forty
hours, but, fortunately the pa
per is out, and only the loyal
force of workers realize just
what tKSy went through with
to furnish Tribune-News read
ers with this issue. *
But, like the waves of the
sea, in their ceaseless rollings,
the newspaper simply “must
come out,” and nothing short
of actual, literal death can stop
the publication of a paper with
a force of as loyal workers as
those who make The Tribune-
News possible.
As some one said, when the
hours were darkest, and there
seemed to be no hope of an ear
ly resumption of electric cur
rent, “Oh, we’ll get the paper
out, some way”— here it is,
ready for you to read, and.
