MEMORIAL DAY
AT CASSVILLE
By BELL BAYLEsS
Staff Representative
‘T feared the lonely dead and turned
away
From thoughts of sombre death and
endless night.”
But now my nights are filled with flow
ered dreams
Of singing warriors, beautiful and
young;
Strong men and boys. Within whose
eyes there gleams
The triumph song of worlds unknown
unsung.
Grim death has vanished, leaving in
its stead
The shining glory of the living dead.”
Back to the former days swung Cass
ville; bacit to the days when galloping
horsemen crossed the valley and bul
lets whined through the a'r; back to
the time when still gray forms were
carried to this lonely spot and laid to
rest; when even the crost of Cemetery
Hill was fortified, against the blue
blue army whose breastworks crowned
the northern ridge; back to the causes
of the great conflict, the civil war,, for
Saturday was Memorial day. and here
the people assembled to do honor to
their dead.
Flowers and bunting wreathed the
pillars of the rest-house and decked the
rostrum, roses, red and white, the blue
of iris, corn flower and forget-me-nots,
the gold of lilies fragrant as tre voi
sant deeds of patriots from the dawn of
our conuntry till the present day.
whose stoics were recounted by Cass
ville's own orators who came home to
take part in this ceremony.
Afternoon found practically the whole
community assembled in the cemetery
where Prof. Jesse W. Jackson, master
of ceremonies, introduced Prof. Dewis
Tribble, who gave the invocation; and
then presented Rev. Irby Henderson, a
“home boy,” and former pastor of the
Methodist church.
Professor Jackson stressed the need
of loyalty to the government even
•though its course might not coincide
with the ideas of the individual, as at
this time the need of obedience and
self-sacrifice was great in order to
weather -the strom. People with con
victions for which they stood firmly,
and high ideals, were anchors in troub
lous days; and right living in peace
was as noble service as valiant deeds
in war.
Rev Irby Hendersons address
showed careful preparation and study
of history. His theme was state’s
rights the primary cause of
Brushing aside all mercenary motives,
he declared that to be the real issue—
comparing it to the “self-determina
tion of small governments” of today.
That conviction so strong, he de
clared, enabled the Confederate army,
greatly inferior in numbers, to keep
back for four years the Northern
forces advancing on Richmond, who
ordinaryily could made the march
in ten days. He eulogized the men of
the sixties, who lost their lives; those
who returned to rebuild civilization
along with their ruined fortunes; the
enduring patience which upheld them
and enabled them to be what General
Dee told them to remember, that a man
could be a Christian gentleman and a

Here’s Your Chance To Turn
Your Chickens Into Cash
County Agent Cox announces he has perfected plans to have a
special chicken car in Cartersville on Thursday morning, of next
week. The car will be accompanied by an experienced buyer, who
comes, ready to pay the market price for every hen, pullet and rooster
offered for sale. Any citizen of the county, having poultry to sell, is
not only invited, but urged to bring in all they care to dispose of, be
ing assured of a cash market, and pay on the spot, without a wait.
These cars are now being sent out by the railroads to any point
desiring to ship chickens in a wholesale way. The plan has \vorked
successfully in many places in Georgia, and County Agent Cox says
he knows of no reason why it would not be a success in Cartersville.
It will take a large number of chickens to fill a car. For that rea
son, it is hoped all who have any chickens to sell, from one to one
thousand, will bring them to Cartersville next Thursday, May 24th.
Here’s a chance to turn your surplus chickens into cash, quickly.
PITTMAN TO BE
IN RACE FOR
SOLICITOR
With Statement From
Col. Lang, Who Seeks
Judgeship, Well-
Known Local Attor
ney Says He Will Bea
Candidate Later.
Although the time for the election is
more than a year off, friends of various
gentlemen in the Cherokee Circuit are
already discussing probable entries for
the places' of Judge and Solicitor-Gen
eral, which are now held by Hon. M.
C. Tarver, of Dalton, and Hon. Joe M.
Lang, of Calhoun, respectively. Col.
C. C. Pittman, of Cartersville, an
nounces he is certain to be a candi
date for solicitor-general.
Newspapers of the circuit have pub
lished stories to the effect that Mr.
Lang would seek the place of honor
now held by Judge Tarver, and at the
same time it has been suggested there
was a possibility of Judge Tarver en
tering the race for Congressman 'from
the Seventh district. This latter, how
ever, is simply a matter of conjecture,
for Judge Tarver is not known to have
made any such statement himself.
A recent issue of the Catoosa Record
published a statement to the effect that
Col. Lang is now an active candidate
for the judgeship. Said the Record:
’‘Solicitor Joe Lang, of Calhoun,
paid the Record a visit Monday
and announced his intention of get
ting in the race for judge of the
Cherokee Circuit in the election of
1924. Mr. Lang has been highly
competent as the state’s prosecu
tor, and has made a wide circle of
admiring friends in this comaip
nity, who are ready to lend him
their aid and.support in the com
ing election.
"Mr. Dang is a man of high as
pirations and with much ability
he puts forth his best efforts in
serving the public.”
The Chatsworth Times, after rub
lishing the above, from the Rec and,
makes the following interesting com
merit: x
"Mr. Dang has let it be known
f(Jr some time that he aspired to
succeed Judge Tarver on the bench.
It is ra-ther early yet, and Judge
Tarver has made no announcement
of his intentions. During the last
campaign there was some talk of
him seeking the seat of Congress
man Gordon Dee next year. In due
time he will doubtless advise the
people' of his intentions.
“It is generally understood jfhat „
Cpl. R.-Noel Steed, of Eton and
Chatsworth, will be a candidate to
succeed Solicitor fgmg, although
no definite public ■ statement has
)}een made by him to that efiect.
“Altogether it looks like we are
going to havfe a warm political year
in 1924.”
Pittman Certain Entry.
Friends of Col. Claude C. Pittman,
throughout rhe Circu.t, have been as
sured for some time past, that <rt the
proper time the Cartersville attorney
would formally announce his candidacy
—-pihich has been a foregone conclu
sion. They believe he has an excel
lent chance of winning, and have al
ready given him every reason to be
lieve he would make,a winning race.
There has been some talk over the

ity of. another Cartersville attorney en

THE CARTERSVILLE NEWS
CRACK TEAM
BEING PICKED
FOR CARTERSVILLE
The board of directors having in
charge the getting together a winning
ball team for Cartersville, say things
are shaping up nicely, and the outlook
is very bright for a team that will be
a source of great pride to every citizen.
It has been decided to have
the opening game Tuesday, June 5, and
plans are now being formulated to have
the greatest crowd ever assembled in
Cartersville for a baseball game at this
event.
The Marietta team may be the oppo
nents at the opening game, but this
has not been definitely determined.
Old-timers say such a contest would
draw an enormous crowd, for, in the
old days, the Cartersville and Marietta
boys “went on the field to win.” and
never gave up until the last ball was
hit. This would, no doubt, be the
spirit this year should such a series
be arranged with the Cobb Countians.
Harris Cope, who has been named
manager fo r the local team, is expected
to reach Cartersville in time to give
the boys a work-out preparatory to the
opening game. He has made a won
derful record during his first year at
Howard College, in Birmingham, as
can be seen from the following, taken
from the Birmingham Age-Herald, af
ter his boys had won three out of four
games, from the Birmingham-Southern
teamT one of the fastest of its kind in
the South; •
Howard Success.
“It was a great win for Howard and
they deserved the series for they play
ed the better ball during the larger
part of the time. Birmingham-Southern
showed as ever her never-say-die spir
it, but was unable to cope with the
Bulldogs, Stevens pulled an iron man
stunt, burling all four of the games and
winning three of them.
“Coach Cope is to be congratulated
for the fine work he has done with the
Bulldogs, taking much green material
in hand for his first year as the Bull
dog mentor, he has turned out a win
ning football and baseball team. How
ard folks are migty proud of their little
“Ifish” mentor, and his players fight
for him like fiends. This is indeed a
tribute to any man that he can instill
such a spirit itko a gang of boys.
"Each school is now busy bragging
about what it is going to do next year.
And this is the kind of spirit that gives
Birmingham some of the best athletic
congests in the South, right amongst
l?er own college teams.”

and the present postmaster s commis

After an experience jf .wo years,
Mr. J. Hygli Gilreath. ons o( the coun

is thorough y convinced a farmer can
go wrong planting O-Too-Tan beans.
In proof of th s statement Mr. Gil

fact he made last year, on a nine-acre
tract, ninety bushels of beans ami
seven tons of cure 1 bay. The beans be
sold for $7 a bushel and the hay
brought $22 a ton. In cash, the can.-
were worth $620. and the hay $154. o
a. total of $784. Divide this by nine
and it is easily ascertained the acre’
yield was over SBO.
In addition to this fact the O-Too-
Tan soy bean s one of the finest le
gume crops known to agriculture and
Mr. Gilreath estimates the nine-acre
patch ;o be worth fully one-foyrth
more for cotton this year. He will
plant forty to fifty acres in the same
bean this year.
Asa legume, they h”ve a gr* 1 it ad

withstand drouth and are muc h easier

the matured seed ranging from four
to six weeks, and the stalk car be cut
any .time, ilis experiments have also
shown they have a distinct advantage
over the mammoth yellow soy beans
because they withstand dry weather
their stalk Is of* a finer texture, and is
not so coarse and woody.
To get the best results, Mr. Gilreath
says the ground should be well pre

is able to do by using the small seed
