STARTLING FIGURES ON IMPORT OF
MINING INDUSTRY IN THIS SECTION
GIVEN AT C. OF C. LUNCHEON TUESDAY
Interesting Program Arranged and Carried Out
by William S. Peebles, With Help of Other
Operators of District—Robert W. Knight in
Charge of Luncheon Next Tuesday at Noon,
at the Park Hotel.
TIMELY PROGRAM FOR
THE NEXT MEETING
The program next Tuesday, for the weekly luncheon
of the Cartersville Chamber of Commerce will be in
charge of Mr. Robert W. Knight, it was announced at thfe
conclusion of the program by Mr. W. S. Peebles, who was
authorized to do so by President James W. Vaughan.
While Mr. Knight has kept his plans a secret, s 0 to
speak, those who know the ability of this fine young gen
tleman, know he has something “up his sleeve,” and for
that reason the luncheon next Tuesday at noon at the Park
hotel will be up to the high standard set by those’gone be
fore.
To this affair, every business man of the town and
county—and this includes the farmers, for if there is is
one set of men who are business meji first, it is the farm
ers—is most cordially invited—be there, sure—you are
certain to recive inspiration, lots of “pep,” and, "besides,
get a mighty good dinner for the small sum of sixty cents.
“Bob” Knight wants a big crowd, and it is expected the
attendance next Tuesday will be record-breaking.
If anybody had told you there were 419 cars of mineral
products shipped out of Bartow county in any one month, you
would not have believed it, would you?
Neither would those in attendance at the weekly meet
ing of the Cartersville Chamber of Commerce have believed it,
either, had it not come from so reliable a source as Mr. T. B.
Leake, chief clerk at the local freight offices.
The outbound shipments outbound from the Cartersville
district during November amounted to thirty-six million pounds
and all but six million of these
pounds represented mine prod
ucts.
So heavy is the outbound
freight traffic prod
ucts that the combined out
bound business for Dalton, Cal
houn, Rome and Marietta is not
as much as the N., C. & St. L.
tonnage from the Cartersville
station.
Mr. O. W. Haney, cashier of
the First National Bank, an
other speaker, said the pay
rolls to the laborers in the
mines of this district totalled
more than $40,000 a month, or
a half-million dollars a year. In
addition, not less than this
amount is turned loose for other
items of expense, going to show
that something like one million
dollars in cash are disbursed in
this immediate section, this sum
being brought in from the out
side entirely.
These, and many other facts
just as startling, were given by
Mr. Leake, Mr.Johnsey and Mr.
Haney, who were among the
speakers on the very interesting
program arranged for the occa
sion by Mr. W. S. Peebles, city
commissioner, and one of the
most prominent miners of the
Cartersville district.
The meeting, which was 3
record-breaking one for attend
ance and fine spirit manifested,
was called to order by Mr. Pee
bles promptly at 1 o’clock. Af
ter a blessing had been asked by Prof.
L C. Evans, the assemblage sat down
to a dainty menu prepared by Mr. and
Mrs. Omer.
The post-prandial flow of oratory
and facts began when Mr Peebles arose
and made a few appropriate remarks,
in which he said that since mining was
one of the basic industries of the
world, and an important factor in the
business life of this immediate section,
it was altogether fitting that a spe
cial program should be given over to
some outstanding features of this in
dustry.
After facetiously remarking that “a
miner is a man owning a hole in the
ground, Mr. Peebles called on Mr. O.
W. Haney, cashier of the First National
Bank, to tell about "How Mining
Brings Money Into Bartow County.”
This industry, Mr. Haney said, is
now paying out to laborers around for
ty thousand dollars a month, and half
a million dollars a year. In addition,
said Mr. Haney, the mine operators are
spending this much and more in buying
supplies, and paying other costs of op
eration, a major portion of which sum
is spent locally.
such a sum being spent, the
business house that best prepares to (
take care of the needs of those who
spend it, are certain to get the bene
fits that are here. Our mine operators
are among the most loyal to the best
interests of our town and county. It,
therefore, behooves us to do everything
possible to assist them in their business
and make their operation just as prof
itable as possible,” Mr. Haney said
during the course of his illuminating
remarks.
Mr. Trisvan E. Johnsey was very
happy in responding to the subject
"How to be Happy Though Mining."
He told of a few of the troubles that
beset all who would go after the elus
ive ores, and declared that "while we
have our ups and downs mostly
downs,’ it seems sometimes, it is a
great work we are engaged in, and I
believe we have Just scratched the sur
THE BARTOW TRIBUNE
(TRIBUNE, VOL. 13, No. 6.)
(NEWS, VOL. 37, No. 46.)
face of mining possibilities in Bartow
county."
Mr. Leake Talks on Freight.
Mr. T B. Leake, chief clerk at the
Cartersville freight station, said that in
the month of November, last year, the
total business was SIOO,OOO for all three
lines entering Cartersville. In pro-rat
ing this business, between inbound and
outbound, it runs $35,000 inbound, in
cluding tickets, and $65,000 outbound.
In other words, the outbound tonnage
represents sixty-five per cent of the
business dene at this station. Of this
sixty-five per cent outbound business,
eighty per cent represents mine pro
ducts, and the remaining twenty per
cent, represents the other products
shipped from this station.
Continuing, he said:
"During the month of November, we
handled 36 mi'oion pounds of freight
outbound from this station; 30 million
pounds represented mine products.
“It might be of interest 4o you gen
tlemen to know that the combined out
bound business for Dalton, Calhoun.
Rome and Marietta was not as much
as the N. C. & St. L. tonnage from th e
Cartersville station. And. don’t for
get, please, these figures do not in
clude the shipments sent out from Em
erson and Ladds, which are within
themselves large.
“The total gross business of this sta
tion (Cartersville) exceeds the com
bined gross business, both inbound and
outbound at Dalton, Calhoun, Acworth
and Marietta.
“During the month of November,
there was forwarded from this station
four hundred and nineteen carload
shipments, conssitlng of mineral pro
ducts.
“In conclusion. I wish to say that the
back-bone of the business done at this
station, is drawn from the mining in
terests, and the outbound tonnage from
the Cartersville station exceeds the
outbound tonnage from Atlanta, via
the Western & Atlantic road.” a
A Pure at Brad Tatum.
Mr. Peebles then announced that a
song, written especially for this occas
ion, would be rendered by Mr. Holcomb,
accompanied by Mr. Poindexter at the
piano. It’s title was given as, "I
Thought It Was a Lump of Ore Until I
Had it Analyzed”—words and music by
Mr. Brad Tatum. It was a good song,
alright—even though the genial Mr.
Tatum plead not guilty to the charge.
Messrs. H. J, Moore and J. H. Hen
dry, new miners, in the district, were
given the floor, and both gentlemen ex
pressed great pleasure at being present
and said they would do all in their
flower to uphold the high standards
already set by the miners ef the Car
tersville district.
Mr. A. R. McDaniel, of Calhoun, who
has recently opened a store here, was
also present, and when given an op
portunity, assured the gathering that
he had always thought ’of Cartersville
as a live business center and "I am
mighty glad *to be listed among your
business men—count on us for any
thing we can do to further the good
work,” he added.
The meeting closed with the an
nouncement that Mr. Robert W. Knight
would be charge of the next luncheon
program.
ATTENTION. SCOUTS.
Arrangements have been made to rent
the hall over the store of Mr. George
Rass, formerly occupied by the business
college. All Scouts are requested to

WRITES AGAIN
COUNTY MATTERS
Goes Into Details Re
garding Financial Con
dition For Several
Years Past.
Editor, Tribune-News,
Cartersville, Ga., .
Please allow me space in*’our paper
to make this statement;
► On September 7th, 1922 I replied to
Mr. Gilreath’s letter in regard to the
indebtedness of Bartow County, and
the manner in which he criticised all
former boards, for the past forty years,
and, in the same paper my reply ap
peared, Mr. H, C. Stiles and Mr. W. W.
Y’oung had a letter which stated “that
the county had better roads, than it
ever had before, and instead of in
creasing the Indebtedness, they had
taken up $67,811.65 of old script, yet
there is talk by some of the candidates
of firing those Bartow boys and bring
ing back the convicts. Why? To give
a certain, party the Job of warden and
let him throw your money away and get
nowhere.”
That, of course, meant the writer.
This statement was endorsed as be
ing true by Mr. Wikle, the county
attorney, in same column.
I wish to state here that those three
gentlemen, after two full years of
their business administration, turned
the affairs of the County over to the
1923 board with the County owing
$31,000 more than it did when the 1920

COUNTY AGENT READY TO LEND
CO OPERATIVE HELP TO ALL FARMERS
RETURNS FROM ANNUAL
MEETING OF FARMERS
County Agent C. H. Cox has returned from the annual
meeting of farmers held in Athens, and reports it to have
been one of the most helpful, as well as largely attended
of any session yet held. Bartow county was well repre
sented, and all those in attendance say they got their
money’s worth, and more.
Below, the county agent gives out some facts about
growing cotton in Bartow county this year that should
prove interesting and of value to farmers generally.
In addition. Mr. Cox tells about an intensive schedule
arranged for Prof.Firor, who is an expert in home orchards
and who will visit a number of points in the county next
Monday and Tuesday, February sth and 6th.
On February 9th, Mr. Paul Tabor, an authority on
grasses, will keep tw 0 appointments, at Atco and at Eu
harlee.
February 16th, a demonstration in terracing is sched
uled, while the third week in February will be given over
to a campaign of dairying, Mr. Marlette coming for that
purpose. Later, Mr. McCoy will come into the county to
discuss with those most interested latest facts about rais
ing poultry.
With such a schedule, the county agent expects t 0 be
kept busy, and will be glad to hear from any citizen in the
county regarding any on, or all, of the above farm topics.
Further details are published below.
Makes Suggestions Re
garding Fight to Be
Made on 801 l Weevil.
By C. H. COX,
County Agent.
1 would not for one moment discredit
the value of calcium arsenate, for it
has a very valuable place in the saving
ot cotton, hut many of our farmers are
-losing sight of the main issues in cot
ton production and-.will center their
faith in cotton production upon the use
of calcium arsenate.
Calcium arsenate will not make cot
ton neither will it enrich the land so
you can get a profitable yield of cot
ton.
In order to make cotton under boll
weevil conditions—
First —You must have land that will
produce from one-half to more than a
bale of cotton per acre, while there was
hundreds of acres that did not pay for
the fertilizer used upon them.
LANDLORD; Insist that your ten
ants plant only the good land In cotton.
TENANT: Refuse to put poor land
In cotton. I know of one large land
ow T ner in Bartow county who has de
manded that every foot of the land he
put in cotton this year, regardless of
the kind of land; while on the other
hand, I know that nearly all the land
owners insist that the tenants grow
other crops, as well as some cotton.
Second—Preparation: We find many
who will not touch their cotton land
until spring of the year, and then they
do not have the time to put it in con
dition for their crop, knd yet they won
der why they cannot make cotton like
their neighbor.
Third—Fertilization: We still find
pifeple everywhere who insist on buying
a 10-2-2, already mixed. I cannot un
derstand why they do this, for no one
can mix a 10-2-2 without using a filler
or a very low grade source ammonia.
Any farmer can buy his materials and
mix a highgrade fertilizer without put
ting a filler in it for the same price
that he will have to pay for a 10-2-2.
You should use at least 400 pounds per
acre.
Fourth —Seed: With good land.
Rev. G. W. Hulme
New Pastor at the
East Side Baptist
The members of the East Side Bap
tist church, while in conference Sunday
January 28th, called the Rev. G W.
Hulme, of Macon, Ga„ as Its pastor.
Rev. Hulme accepted, and will be in
charge of the services Sunday, Feb
ruary 4 for the first time. He succeeds
Rev. John E. Barnard, who resigned
some months back, during which time
the church has been without a pastor.
ThC new pastor will move his family
to jCartersville as soon as a suitable
duelling house can be located. His fam.
'ily consists of his wife and two boys,
one 16 years old, the other nine.
Rev. Hulme is 43 years old, and was
a preacher for sixteen years before
taking a course at Mercer. He grad
uated from Mercer in the class of 1922
and this is his first pastorate since his
graduation.
It is understood that Mrs. Hulme is
a graduate in B Y. P. U. and Sunday
school work, and no doubt her coming
will add greatly to the organizations in
the East Side church.
PLACE FERTILIZER
ORDERS AT ONCE
Mr. J. Hugh Gilreath. chairman of
the marketing committee of the Bar
tow County Farm Bureau, spent Mon
day in Atlanta, conferring with offi
cials regarding the fertilizer outlook.
He was told that owing to car short
age, It is absolutely necessary to give
shipping instructions for fertilizers at
once, in order that those desirirfg to use
them may get their orders here on

preparation, fertilization you still will
not make the profit from your cotton
If you do not use good seed. If you will
go to the gin and sec the kind of seed
people use. you will not be surprised
that our average yield is so low. I
would use pedigreed Seed —Cleveland
Big 8011, College No. 1, or Over the
Top. I would go slow on using such
cotton as half and half
Fifth—Cultivation: It is absolutely
necessary under boll weevil conditiins
to give your cotton rapid cultivation.
Sixth —801 l Weevil: In planning your
crop, you must make your acreage so
small that you will have time to fight
the boll weevil for he is here and here
to stay. Keep a careful watch when he
first appears and pick and destroy these
and be ready to use calcium arsenate to
destroy those you miss. Keep up the
fight, and keep the pfe)w going.
Calcium Arsenate —-We hear so much
about calcium arsenate and how to use
it that we will not try to give you any
advice, or our personal opinion, but we
will only state what has been found to
be true under all kinds of
under all kinds of conditions:
We have always with us some one
with something to sell.
Why? Not because they love their
country, but to make a profit. The
United States Department of Agricul
ture has nothing to sell; they have no
interest in calcium, neither have they
any interest in the kind of gun yovi use.
But up to the present time it has been
found that the best way to use calcium
arsenate, regardless of what some
salesman may say. is in the dust form.
DO AS YOU PLEASE.
I will be glad to help you make a
cotton crop. WE NEED IT.
WE CAN MAKE IT —WILL YOU?

FIVE NEW
STEEL BRIDGES
FORCOUNTY
Commissioners Place
Orders For Sufficient
Steel to Erect Struc
tures Over Places
Where Most Needed.
The County Commissioners have
placed orders for sufficient steel for the
erection of five new bridges, to he
placed at points where they are most
needed and deemed absolutely neces
sary. .
■•''The largest of these new structures
will be erected over Allatoona creek,
where there was formerly a wooden
bridge, but which gave way during
the recent heavy rains, he structure
will he composed of two 40-foot spans,
and one 50-foot span, and when com
pleted will serve a section of county
now shut oft from reaching Cartersville
save in a roundabout way.
A 30-foot span is to lie built over
McCloskey creek, on the river road, and
a 40-foot span is to be placed at another
point on this road.
Over Nancy’s creek, on the road to
Sugar Valley, a bridge with a 60-foot
span ;s to be built while in the Eirhar.
ice district, near the homo of Mr. An
derson Butler, on the Euharlee-Tay
lorsville road, another bridge, some
twenty feet long, is to be erected.
The new commissioners have inves
tigated thoroughly the need of these
structures, and since all of them will
serve a large territory, reached the
ootwttision they should be erected at
once. Over at least two of them, mail
route pass, and in addition to serving
the general public, it was pointed out
that patrons on these routes are being
greatly inconvenienced until the new
bridges are built.
County Road Superintendent Lovell

bridges at the first possible opportu
nity, and they will be rushed to com
pletion as rapidly as possible.
