and Outlook Is For Winning Team Sched
ule Announced For Several Games Ahead—
Expected Locals Will Be At Home on Tues
day and Friday of Each Week During Season
(By C. L. COLLINS, Jr.)
The opening game of the 1923 season, to be played by
the Cartersville baseball team, will be played on the local dia
mond on Tuesday, June 5, Marietta being the opposing team..
It is expected that an unusually large number of baseball
fans will be in attendance when the umpire calls the game, at
3 o’clock.
It is thought that a number of the business houses in Car
tersville will close during the afternoon, while the game is in
progress, in order that everyone may have an opportunity to
be on hand.
Most of the players will arrive in time to receive their first
work-out Friday afternoon.
The line up for the opening day will probably be: Clem
ents, pitcher; Bryant, catcher; Shores, first base; Wheeler sec-
ond base; Baine, shcatstop; Maurer, th
ird base; Red Barron, center field; Rob
Griffin, right field' Angley, left field.
The vacancy on the hurling staff has
been filled by Laf’y 'Willis, the locals
having signed him us some time dur
ing the week. WiUis needs no introduc
tion to Cartersville fans, as he will be
remembered for his splendid work last
year. He has been Oglethorpe’s lead
ing pitcher this season.
Lucius Bishop will complete the ros
ter, as utility man.
Patton, of Acworih; JJenters, of Em
erson, and Pinion, of White, are among
those who will oe given try-outs with
the locals.

(NEWS, VOL. 38, No. 10.)
WILSON HOWARD
HAS PROGRAM
NEXT TUESDAY
J. A. Miller Presided at
Luncheon This Week,
and Some Interesting
Facts Were Brought
Out. • '
Mr. Wilson Howard, well-known
young business man, will have charge
of the Chamber of Commerce lunch
eon program next Tuesday at 1 o'clock,
at the Park hotel. He is expected to
present a program that will be thor
oughly interesting, and a large num
ber is anticipated.

president of the American Textile
Company, presided as toastmaster. He
said he wanted to see Cartersville and
Bartow county progress and grow, and
that he would <Jo everything within his
power to bring this about.
The program opened with two de
lightful musical numbers, rendered by
Mrs. Bradley Howard and Mrs. Lo
gan Vaughan, and as a closing num
ber Mrs. Howard rendered "The Little
Brown Owl.”
Rev. L. C. Vass, who leaves Carters
ville soon to enter other fields of en
deavor, after a residence here of three
and one-half years, was asked to speak
upon some needs of Cartersville. He
said he believed that the first and most
important matter for Cartersville to
consider was paved streets and side
walks. “Without these,” he said, ‘‘Car
tersville can never be the town it ought
to be and deserves to be.”
Mr. Joseph S. Calhoun spoke upon
the subject of “The Relationship Be
tween the Town and Country.” and
handled the subject as only he is cap
able of handling it.
Mr. Oscar Peeples spoke on the pos
sibility of building a permanent sys
tem of highways, and declared that
such a system would go a long way to
ward bringing about co-operation be
tween the town and county.
He advanced the suggestion that
land-owners, bothered with rocks in
their fields, could put them to no better
use than to pile the rocks along the
roadside, and in time the county have
them crushed and placed on the high
ways as a top surface.
The meeting was a most intr res ing
one, largely attended, and at its close
Mr. Miller was warmly congratulated
upon the success of the luncheon.

Ownership of
Barytes Mine
Changes Hands
A telegram was received In Carters
ville Wednesday announcing the fact
that the National Lead Company had
purchased from the Nulsen interests
the National Pigment and Chemical
Company, whose headquarters are in
St. Louis. Mo.
This deal is said to include the local
properties of the National Pigment and
Chemical Company, which are the ba
rytes mines, south of Cartersville.
It is said there will be no change in
managements, so far as the local in
terests are concerned, Mr. E. H. Mur
chison being the very efficient manager
of the Cartersville plant.
More than one million dollars were
involved in the entire transaction,
which included valuable mineral in
terests in the Cartersville district as
well as thousands of acres of land in
the Missouri mineral field.
WONDERFUL BARTOW COUNTY.
WHERE MAGNET AND POLE MEET
By BELL BAYLESS
If your finger were a mag
net poised above a map of
Georgia, it would instantly
be attracted to the north
western corner, to Bartow
county, the most highly min
eralized county in the south
east.
This is on a line with the
great Cartersville fault,
where the earliest and latest
earth formations come to
gether, and here are found
quantities of brown and gray
iron ore-
The first iron foundry in
Georgia was established in
Bartow county in 1840. A
few years later Major Mark
A. Cooper, a man well known
for his wealth, wisdom and'
foresight, started larger fur
naces on the Etowah river,
near Cartersville. The Con
federate government ad
vanced half a million dollars
to enlarge this plant and
have it manufacture their
cannon, but the Northern ar
my destroyed the works, and
there remain only the ruined
stacks and walls of a once
valuable industry. The prop
erty now belongs to the Geor
gia Railway and Power Com
pany, and is capable of being
developed-to furnish suffi
cient electric power for this
section.
In 1895 Georgia headed
the lists of manganese pro
ducing states, the Dobbins
mine being the first; and
there are perhaps million.’, of
tons still undeveloped. Here
tofore, it was imported from
Brazil, India, Cuba, Russia,
Great Britain, Belgium, Ja
pan and the East Indies. This
mineral is essential in the
manufacture of steel and
' electric batteries.
Seventy-five per cent of the
world’s ochre comes from
Bartow county, where 100,-
000 torts are in sight. Part
of what is now mined is made
into paint, and the rest ship
ped to Scotland nd France,
where it is manufactured
into linoleum and returned

Bauxite was first discov
ered in the United States in
an adjoining county, and the
best grade is found in this lo
cality. Th e Bartow and
Floyd county districts in
clude the majority of ore
bodies in well defined groups
Formerly it was imported
from France. Since the my
riad uses to which aluminum
is now put are realized, the
value of bauxite is apparent.
The General Abrasive Com
pany, of Niagara Falls, is
now operating a mine near
Halls, and there are several
other mines in the county,
all yielding high-grade ore.
Pyrite, copper, gold, feld
spar, sericite, graphite, kao
lin, all ar e found here.
One of the very few bar
ytes mines in the country is
within a short distance of
Cartersville. It belongs to
the Bertha Mineral Company,
and the output is shipped to
Pennsylvania. Other large
mines include those owned
by the Thompson-Weinman
Company, Sloan, Peebles &
Cos., and others.
Among the many uses for
barytes are as a filler tor
paint and in rubber manu
facturing.
Large deposits of green
slate, having a high potash
content, underlie a wide sec
tion of the county. The b lex-
A-Tile Company has invested
a million dollars near Fair
mount, and is using this siate
in its plant, but there ar e un
limited possibilities for its
development, both for root
ing purpose anc l or potash,
with cement as a by-product,
at other points where ship
ping are ideal.
The first hydraulic cement
company south of Louisville,

and operated continuously
until about five years ago, its
quarries being two miles
north of Kingston.

DR.LC.VASS
CLOSES MINISTRY
IN CARTERSVILLE
Last Sunday evening at the Presby
terian church, Dr. L. C. Vass conducted
his last service as pastor of this con
gregation. He takes up at once his
new duties as district evangelist of the
Cherokee Presbytery. The meeting
was in the nature of a union service,
members of the other congregations
of the city being present. ,
When Dr. Vass had concluded his
sermon, appropriate words of regret
at his going wore spoken by Dr. T. R.
Kendall and Dr. L. Elmer Du.ton. In
the church calendar Dr. Vass issued
tile, following as a parting word to his
congregation;
‘‘At the closing sarv.ee of the pres;
ent pastorate, we wish to express out
thanks t'o Almighty God fer the priv
ilege He has given us of serving This
church. We have personally made
may new and valued friends, and un
der God's guidance we believe the
church has grown, and that means
that the individual member has been
blessed. We are leaving with many
regrets, and a hearty good will to
wards all.
"We do not, however, feel that the
parting Is complete or final, for as we
etr era broader field of service, it in
cludes this church, and as you will be
still aiding in our financial support In
our new field, we ask and feel confi
dent that we will also continue to have
your moral and spiritual support, and
that you will have a deeper interest In
the work of our Home Mission com
mittee of this Presbytery. Especially
do we plead with the men of this
church to back up the Layman's As
sociation. which has made it possible
for our Presbytery to put an evan
gelist in this field for all of his time.
May God’s richest blessings ever abide
upon you.”

This course of instruction was
planned primarily because certain lines
of home economics work could not be
presented in the schools of the county,
due fo the lack of equipment for the
work. But tile home economics de
partment of the Cartersville high
school will be available for this work
here.
At. the last meeting of the Cherokee

SANITARY CRYSTAL
ICE BEING MADE
BY LOCAL PLANT
The attent'.on of readers is called .0
an advertisement In this issue of The
Tribane-News, from the Cartersville
Ice Plant, which Rives some Interesting
facts about Its business, and the large
plant which they have in operation
here at this time.
The owners. Messrs. Harry Womels
dorf and Paul Gilreath, who are among
the well-known and progressive cit
izens and business men of Cartersville,
have striven to keep their plant In nrst
class condition, and to keep It adequate
and ahead of the needs of the commu
nity.
Their plant was recently inspected
by an expert In such matters and It
was found In the very best condition,
and the quality of the product was pro
nounced fully up to the highest stan
dard.
A statement recently issued by this
plant says, “Cartersville should feel
proud to have an institution like this
within its borders —one that manufac
tures such pure and high quality Ice,
which is made from special processes
that eliminate the danger of stomach
and intestinal troubles, as well as fever
epidemics.
“The United States government al
lows none but distilled water tee used
in inter-state traffic. For domestic
use and in hospitals, this is the only
kind permitted. Sanitary crystal ice,
made from distilled water prtcess,
eliminates all possioility of trouble that
sometimes come to communities where
ice of other type of manufacture is dis
tributed for domestic uses.’’
Naturally, with such a plant their
friends predict continued success, and
an increasing business.
