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 THE BARTOW TRIBUNE (TRIBUNE. VOL. 13. No. 25.) (NEWS, VOL. 38, No. 14.) 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. < Father of W.

He was a prom inent business man and farmer of Butts county, and his death is sincerely mourned here, where he had often vis 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.

KILL THE FIRST WEEVILS By C. H. COX, County Agent. It is sometimes possible to destroy all the weevils in a field btfore the squares have been punctured. Where this is done, there may be no weevils from the middle of June, or first of July, until some time in August, when they 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.

CAR WRECKED BUT TWO MEN ESCAPE DEATH Allatoona Crossing the Scene of Anther Acci dent Monday Morning —lnjured Brought to This Place For First Aid Treatment. 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 riding was struck by the second sec 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 side of his face, which was dressed, 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 cle that both young men were not 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. EAST CARTERSVILLE AND ATCO METHODIST G. W. Davis, Pastor.

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 yy pages toda v $2.00 The Year 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 base-runner he is pure arsenic, swift of foot, and steals like forty—bases, we mean, you know. McLane, better known as ’‘Mac,” hails from Howard College, and has won a home with the fans of Carters ville with his sensational work at third. He displays a wonderful amount of pep, and no matter how the score is going, is always in the game, talking it up, and doing his part to forge his team ahead. He is captain of the team, and has on more than one occasion demonstrated his fitness for this con fidence reposed in him by Cope. Asa hitter. Methane Is “right there," and. (Continued on Lao* Papa)
