BARTOW TEACHERS
SPECIAL GUESTS AT
TUESDAYS MEETING
t
W. C. Walton, J. R.
Whitaker, Jos. S. Cal
houn, Mrs. Bessie Quil
lian, and Others Made
Interesting Talk s
Secretary Woodrow
Will Preside At Next
Meeting.
The teachers in the rural schools
ol Bartow County, who are In Carters
ville attending the Teacher’s Institute
were the guests of honor at last Tues
day's meetingof the Chamber of Com
merce, held at the Park Hotel. More
than fifty young ladies attended the
meeting, and listened to the various
ideas brought out as to how the rural
schools can be bettered, and how the
school teachers can help the Chamber
of Commerce.
At the conclusion of the delicious
meal, President James W. Vaughan,
who presided over the meeting, wel
comed the teachers as the guests of
the Chamber of Commerce, and assured
them that it was the desire of that body
to co-operate with them in their work
He then intorduced Mr. T. J. McGinnis,
the Mayor of Avon park, Florida, and
asked him to make a few remarks. Mr.
McGinnis, who is a brother of Mr. Bob
H. McGinnis, well-known Cartersville
cotton broker, expressed his great plea
sure at being present at the meeting
of the Chamber of Commerce of Car
tersville, and spoke of how glad it
made him feel at any time to be with
Georgia people.
Air. Charles W. Vaughan, who has
just completed a four year course at
the University of Pennsylvania, was
next intorduced. Mr. Vaughan said
that he was glad to be in ‘Cartersville
once more, and that although he had
not yet decided just what he would do,
he intended to start to work some time
in the near future, inCartersville.
The next speaker was Mr. W. C.
"Walton, who was assigned as his sub
ject, "Our interests in the i Rural
Schools."’
Mr. Walton called the attention of
his hearers to some very pertinent
facts regarding rural school conditions
in Bartow County. He pointed out that
it is necessary, as a matter of self pre
servation, for every man and woman
to take an interest in and help support
the rural schools, and to make them
better.
“The boys from the country make the
men who are the leaders in all phases
of human activity," said Mb. Walton.
‘lt takes a constant stream Of young
men and women for the country to
keep the cities going, and unless we
have good Schools in the country it
will soon show up in the development
of the towns and cities. We want to
have just as good school in the country
as we have in the city. To improve
the condition of the country boys and
girls is the surest way to help the
nation," the speaker declared.
Mr. James R. Whitaker spoke on the
Practical Problems of a rural school
teacher. Among other things, Mr.
Whitaker said:
“The problems of a teacher, as well
as that of any other profession, are of
two classes —theoretical problems and
practical problems. The practical
teacher is the one who solves the prac
tical problems. These problems are
very numerous—too numerous for me
to try ot enumerate, but there are sev
eral which I want to mention at this
time.
“The first problem is getting the con
sent of your own mind to go to the
rural districts and teach. To you peo
ple who have been raised either in
towns or cities, and attended prepara
tory schools and four years a* college,
going out into the country to tench
school something of the spirit
of a missionary but unless you are
willing to go and devote your time to
the work in the country school, you
cannot succeed there.
“A short while ago’l heard noted
divine make the statement that only
25 per cent of the young people in rural
communities ever darkened the door of
a church, while 75 per cent did not ever
go to church at all. This is another
problem for the rural teachers. Upon
you teachers rests the future of the
country church as well as the country
school. If the rural population does not
attend- church, it means indulgence in
different forms of amusement and
pleasure, and the inevitable result is
immorality."
Continuing, Mr. Whitaker pointed out
that the condition which prevails in
,he country home depends a great deal
on the rural teacher, and it is the duty
of the techer to try to better the homes
of the pupils. If the teacher cannot
find time to actually visit these homes,
and talk with the patrons of the school,
she should visit the homes through the
children whs attend her school. The

Chas. M. Milam
Home After Trip to
Atlantic City, N. J.
After attending the Supreme Coun
cil of the United States and Canada,
Royal Arcanium, as the delegate from
the State of Georgia, Mr. Charles M.
Milam has returned home, and reports
a very delightful as profitable trip.
The Council, which met this year at
Atlantic City, New Jersey, was at
tended by delegates from practically
every State, and during the week's de
liberations interest was keen.
The Council is the supreme govern
ing body of the Royal Arcahium, and
at the annual meetings rules and regu
lations under which it works are pro
mulgated.
Mr. Milam took part in these delib
erations and made two addresses on
features to which he had! given a spe
cial study. It was decided to have the
Royal Arcanium issue the several kinds
of insurance policies, as are proving
so popular with the old-line companies.
There are eighteen members of the
organization in Cartersville, fifteen
hundred in Georgia, and thousands in
all parts of the country. Since it was
organized fifty years ago, the Royal
Arcanium has never defaulted in a sin
gle instance, nor failed to pay a policy
when due, Mr. Milam says.
Going from Cartersville to Cincin
nati, Mr. Milam went through Ohio to
Parkersburg, West Virginia, then to
Harpers Ferry, Washington, Rich
mond, Philadelphia and then to Atlan
tic City.
Atlantic City is a wonderfu’ place,
and here thousands of people, from all
parts of the world go for recreation,
and sight-seeing. They are not dis
appointed, if what Mr. Milam says
about it is true. Board walks miles
in length, with attractions everywhere
the eye can see.
Leaving Atlantic City, Mr. Milam
went over to New York, and during his
three-day stay in the nation’s metropo
lis took in various sights, enjoying it
thoroughly, he says.
He left New York aboard a Clyde
line steamer, and landed at Charles
ton. This old towm was a bit of a dis
appointment to him, Mr. Milam said,
since he had always heard of it, and
pictured it as a larger and more pro
gressive community than his short stay
led him to believe it is.

ited.
average teacher will succeed if they
are willing to pay the price with hard
work; half the failures are due to lazi
ness and.the other half due to idle
ness, the speaker declared.
Mr. Joseph S. Calhoun was next call
ed upon having for his subject, “How
the teachers can help the Chamber of
Commerce," but owing to the short
space of time left, he did not give the
talk which' he had prepared. In stead,
he amused his hearers with a couple of
anecdotes which fitted Into the pro
gram very nicely.
Following Mr. Calhoun, President
Vaughan called attention to the fact
that the chicken car would be in Car
tersville on Friday of this week, and
urged every farmer who has poultry
for sale to bring it to the car and get"
the cash. He also announced that the
next meeting of the Chamber of Com
merce will be held next Tuesday at 1
o’clock, at which time Secretary Geo.
Woodrow will be in charge,
Mrs. Bessie Quillian, who teachers
the Cass Station school, spoke briefly
upon “How the Teacher Can Aid the
Chamber of Commerce.”
Mrs. Quillian made a number of help
ful suggestions, and assured the gen
tlemen present that the teachers of the
county would do all they could to help
the Chamber of Commerce. She called
attention to the fact that any teacher
can be of benefit to the organization by
explaining to her pSpils what the
Chamber of Commerce is, and what it
stands for,' and encouraging them in
taking part in the movements fostered
by the chamber.
This concluded the program, and the
meeting was dismissed in time for ev
ery one who desired to see the bail
game Tuesday afternoon.
The teachers were guests of the
Base Ball Association at the Tate-Car
tersvtlle game, and this added courtesy
was duly appreciated.

all the weevils in a field btfore the
squares have been punctured. Where
this is done, there may be no weevils

begin to migrate from other fields.
On the first appearance of the wee
vils, cotton should be dusted twice at
an Interval of five or six days, then
watch fields carefully, for Infested
spots.
Keep all punctured squares picked
up and burned. Dust at night or early
in the morning, when the air is still,
using an average ot five pounds of dust
per acre,- per dusting. The success of
■the cotton crop depends upon the eh
ergy you put forth in fighting the wee
vlll at .this time.

Charles R. Wren, recently discharged
fron? Camp McClellan, Anniston, Ala.,
was painfully cut about the face, and
Maurice W. Wooleym, a soldier on
leave of absence from the same camp,
escaped ith only minor injuries when
the Ford sedan In which they were

tion of the northbound Dixie Flyer on
Monday morning at Alltoona crossing.
The two young men U'ere en route to
Augusta to visit the mother of Mr.
"Wren, when their car was hit and com
pletely demolished. It is believed both
passengers leaped from the car an in
stant before it was hit, and this no
doubt account for their narrow ecape.
The train, which was in charge of
Conductor Sanford Vandiver, stopped
as quickly as possible, and brought
Wren and Wooley to Cartersville. Ar
riving here, Dr. W. E. Wofford, resident
phsician for the road, was summoned.
I He made an examination of both young
men and found that only Wren needed
attention.
Wren suffered a gash across the left

and within a short time he an his part
ner were en route to Atlanta aboard
the southbound L. & N. train. They
were expected to proceed on to Augusta
later.
Those who have seen the wrecked
car consider it nothing short of a mira

killed, and the fact that they Jumped
just in thne saved them from beinig
horribly mangled.

DANIEL WHITE
INSTANTLY KILLED
IN BOILER BLAST
I
Frank Nation and John
Dutton Were Fright
fully Injured at Same
Time.
Acworth, Ga., June 23.—The rew at
the Tippin saw mill had been warned
against the mill boiler. It was an an
cient, rattling affair. There would be
some trouble some day, and somebody
would be hurt, they heard over and
over. But they took a chance, day
after day.
Friday afternoon the dismal predic
tions came true, terribly. Just before
quitting time at the mill there was a
great blast, which rattled the windows
in Acworth, three miles away The
structure of the mill swayed Splinters
and glass flew.
When the workmen could sagger to
their feet after the stunning force of
the explosion, they found the body of
their superintendent, Daniel White, cu*
almost In two, and scalded beyond rec
ognition. He was dead -when (hey
reached him.
Two of the workmen were injured by
the explosion of the boiler, both so se
riously that they wre said Saturday
to have only an even chance of life.
| The are Frank Natioa and lohn Dut-
I ton.
White, at 30 years, was owner and
opertor of the mill. He was regarded
as one of the most prosperous and pro
gressive farmers and mill men of this
section. He was married and had one
small child.
The sawmill had been set for timber
cutting on the Tippin place, five miles
from Acworth. It was wrecked by the
explosion, the dingy old boiler being
blown Into shreds, which were hurled
from the mill structure hundreds of
feet.
Both White and Nation were well
known In Cartersville and throughout
this section. White was under a sus
pended sentence on a liquor-mak.ng
charge, while Nation is known far and
wide as a song leader and musical di
rector.

WHO’S WHO IN
COLTS’LINE IP
SET BEFORE YOU
A Resume of Team’s
Personnel Gives Some
Inter esting Facts
About the Gentlemen
Making Up Roster.
(By M. L. F.)
Have you witnessed the Colts play,
t.me after time, this season, and
wanted to know something about the
individual players?
Lots of fans say they nave, and
maybe you are one of them. If you
have, some facts are set out below that
might prove interesting, since an effort
has been made to state in a few words
regarding each player now on the team,
the more salient facts about them.
With this, perhaps, unnecessary pre
amble, we wade in by beginning with—
" Pug” Bryant.
The only man on the team who lived
in Cartersville las'! season is that in
domitable yoilng gentleman' ‘‘Pug’’
Bryant. He made an enviable record
behind the pan for the Colts last sea
son, and, returning to Oglethorpe, he
was elected captain of the 1924 base
ball team which represents this insti
tution. This season he is catching a
steady and consistent game for the
locals, and all base runners fear his
dead! arm while all ctachers literally
hate to see ''Pug'’ get on base, for he
is notorious as a stealer of the sacks.
He is hitting well, too, if anyone should
inquire.
‘‘Ham” Stevens, who comes here
from Howard College, Birmingham, one
of the boys who has been under Cope's
wing the past year—and shows it, too,
by the way—"shore has got the stuff”
when it comes to tossing the old pill
from pitcher's box to home plate. In
fact, he has hung up a record of pitch
ing twent-seven innings against such
fast ones as Calhoun and Dalton with
only one run being scored against him
—regular Walter Johnson stuff, you
know. When not performing as a
hurler,, he is invaluable in the outfield,
on account of his fielding and hitting
—just an all-round ball player, if you
want to know the whole truth about
this lad.
'‘Simp" Freeman—now, here's one
from Birmingamh Southern College,
which is a bitter antagonist of Cope’s
boys, yet "Simp - ’ lays all that aside
when he dons a Colt uniform, and is
there to deliver the goods, which he
does, literally and in fact. He is one
of the best all-round ball players ever
seen in Cartersville, and his work has
brought about much comment from
more than one angle. His pitching is
right up to top-notch, and he is a sure
and deadly hitter. Besides all these
qualities, he can play any position on
the club, and when not pitching plays
outfield because his hitting ability is
good.
"Lefty' Willis is almost as much at
home in Cartersville as "Pug" Bryant,
for he performed on more than one
memorable occasion for the locals last
year. He is also a student at Ogle
thorpe, and is one of the regular pitch
ers for that schools nine. "Lefty" had
hard luck in his first two games this
season with the Colts, but he demon
strated the fact that he can pitch by
winning from Tate, 9 to 2, Tuesday,
the first of a series between these old
time rivals. There is no more willing
worker on the club than "Lefty," and
with the willow he is right there. A
young gentleman and a good sport—
what more can be said about any young
fellow.
Paul Pinion, a Bartow county boy
from White is another member of the
Colts’ pitching staff. He is a coming
pitcher, and with careful training un
der Cope's direction, should make a
man who can be counted on for some
good service. Already he has shown
pualPies that go to make up a hurler,
while his batting and base-running is I

LOCAL MAN IN
HEAD-ON WRECK
NEAR ACWORTH
Conductor Newman
Suffered Injury to Left
Shoulder in Collision
Between Two Freights
Early Mpnday Mom.
In a head-on collision early Mon
day morning between a Louisville Jb
Nashville freight train, northbound,
and a Nashville, Chattanooga and St.
Louis railroad freight train, south
bound, Mr. G. Newman, known as
''Peck'" to his host of friends in Car
tersville, suffered the dislocation of his
left shoulder. Latest reports from Da
vis- Fisher sanatorium, where he, with
others injured at the same time, were
carried, are in effect he is getting on
nicely, and expects to be out within a
short time.
Mr. Newman is a conductor on tfie
L. & N., and was making one of his
regular runs when the accident hap
pened. Others injured at the same time
were H. O. Champion, of EtoWah, Tenn.
flagman on the L. & N., who was cut
and bruised and probably Injured in
ternally; C. M. Ingram, Etowah, leg
injured and otherwise bruised.
Engineer WiU'amson was reported to
have an injured leg and cuts and
bruises.
Doctors were unable to tell the ex
tent of the Injuries to Champion, the
most seriously hurt.
Three Escape.
Other members of the Nashville,
Chattanooga & St. Louis crew escaped
injury. They are J. G. Millen, engi
neer; H E. Barr, fireman and F. M.
Gillespie, conductor. The engine crews
ot both trains leaped just before the
crash, and this prevented more serious
consequences, railroad officials re
ported.
The Nashville, Chattanooga & St.
Louis train was bplng pulled by a
light locomotiig-, and It was demol
ished. The Louisville & Nashville en
gine was also badly damaged. But
Tittle damage was done to the remain
der of tire two trains, according to re
ports.
Cause Unknown.
The cause of the collision has not
been determined, officials said. An in
vestigation to determine the cause is
under way, however. x
The Nashville, Chattanooga & St,
Louis and the Louisville & NashvPle
operate on the same track between At
lanta and Cartersville. The freight at:
the former road had passed Acworth
about one mile when the big Louisville
& Nashville locomotive burst into view.
The emergency brakes on both trains
were quickly applied, but were unavail
ing. The engineers and firemen on the
two engines, realizing that a collision
was inevitable, all leaped. The inju
ries to Engineer Williamson and Fire
man Ingram were received in this jump.
A wrecking crew immediately was
dispatched t othe scene, and the track,
was cleared by 9; 30 o’clock.
MADE LONG TRIP SAFELY'
Dr. and Mrs. W. W. Young, Misses
Caroline and Octavla Young, and Mr.
Charles Young returned Wednesday
from Chicago, having made the trip in
their Ford sedan. Mr. Charles Young
has been studying art in Chicago for
some months past, his parents and sis
tors going up to accompany him home..
They took five day's to go, and came'
back in four, reporting a most delight
ful and interesting trip.
said to be well above the average.
Holding the initial sack for the Colts
is the Hon. ‘‘Pat’’ Shores. "Now, folks,"
as our good friend, Levi Shaw, would
say, “that thar boy is some baseball
player—he swings a wicked swing
when the ball comes over, and mighty
nigh every time the ball goes yonder.”
Shores come from Howard College, and
brings with him a fielding ability that
is really sensational at the same time,
he’s safe and dependable.
"Cotton" Maurer is holding second
base, and is another Oglethorpe boy.
He Is beginning to show that he is
some hitter, and his fielding is all tht
could be asked for. He covers a world
of ground, takes all chances coming
his way, hardly ever makes bobble,
and when he gets his hand on the ball,
he knows what to do with it. Asa
