FARMERS CLUB
ENDORSES ROAD
BUILDING PUN
i *
Say Suggestions Made
by Mr. J. A. Miller Are
Practical—Vance Nel
son a Genial Host to
Gathering.
The Euharlee Fanners’ Club went on
record at Its meeting he’d last Friday
at the country home of Mr. and Mrs.
Vance Nelson, as heartily endorsing
the suggestions made by Mr. John A.
Miller, president of the American Tex
tile Company, who believes that a sys
tem of permanent highways can be
hu'lt in Bar.ow county if all citizens
will co-operate irt the proposal.
As presented before a recent meet
ing of the Chamber of Commerce Mr.
Miller told the Farmers’ club gathering
that he believed it was practical for
hand-owners 10 gether up the rocks on
Iheir places, haul them to the side of
the road, and then have the county
authorities take them up. pass them
through a rock crusher, and use this
stone in building permanent roads in
Bartow county.
Mr, Millers suggestions wore well
received, and after he had presented
the plan, a number of members gave
t their endorsement, and suggested
that a five-mile strip of the Dixie high
way from the bridge over Pettit's creek
to the river be the first section on
which the proposal would be attempt
ed. It was generally agreed that the
land-owners along this route would
enter into the proposal, and do their
part by gathering up the surplus
rocks. Thus they will not only im
prove their lands, but increase the
value of them with modern highways
go ng by them.
Mr. R. W. Jackson told how silos
could be built, and said that once
a farmer had one, he would never think
of trying to have feedstuffs without
one, •' Several present said they in
tended building silos this year.
At noon guests, who had enjoyed the
meeting under the shade of the trees
were invited into the dining room of
,ha Nelson home, and there enjoyed a
most delicious course dinner, prepared
by Mrs. Nelson, who was assisted in
serving the guests l.y Miss Susie Mc-
Gowan and Miss Myrtle Vance Nelson.
After dinner, the meeting was con
tinued, with discussions of subjects ot
vitnl interest to all present, and before
departing the visitors were privileged
to inspect the modern poultry yard on
Mr. Nelson's place, where he hag more
than 1,000 Brown Leghorn chicks, fry
ing size and larger. He has had good
luck with his flock, and says he is de
lighted with the prospects.
Those present and enjoying the hos
pitality of this good citizen for the day
included Messrs. John Saggus, J. Hugh
G h eath, M. C. Nelson, R. W. Jackson,
Fritz W. Dent, Henry Milam, Vance
Nelson, John A, Miller. T. W. Tinsley.

By W. H. PADGETT, Principal
White Junior High School
There s in session at Cartersville it
im v 'he greatest treat f>r the
icachcra of Bartow County th it has
vor i een offered them. No tuition, no
, fees no red tupe, no bosh,' simply an
opportunity is offered to every teacher
of the county.
The work of the grades is being re
viewed with an eye toward giving the
teacher a clearer knowledge of the
text and enabling him or her to pre
sent the work to the students—the
boys and girls of the county. Conse
quently, however little the citizens may
ihink fo the occas on, these four weeks
will be of untold worth to the county.
Sixty-five wide-awake and interest
ed teachers have already been enroll
ed, and the attendance Monday morn
ing of the second week was almost per
fect, whh a few new members. This
speaks well for the teachers for they
know ar. opportunity is being offered
them.
In this school, interest does not tag,
but the tencherß are helping to do the
work as students should do.
This school is a monument to our
splendid board of education and to our
County School Superintendent, Prof.
Jesse W. Jackson. It also shows that
they are very much alius to the needs
of the teachers and the schools.
It Is not too late to enroll for -this
course, since many helpful suggestions
in method and fact will be given from
day to day.
It would prove interesting and ben
eficial to the members Of school boards
and various trustees to visit the nor
mal school and observe the work, and,
further, it would doubtless be a splen
did opportunity to select good teachers
for the ensuing term.
