Immediately after lunch, the routine
business of the club was entered into,
and quickly disposed of. It was de
cided that the next meeting, to be held

nature of a barbecue, and it will be held
at the home of Mr. Vancq E. Nelson, in
the Euharlee district. Messrs. F. W.

matter, and report at a later meeting.

men from that organization, is now
working on memberships In Bartow

sured that every member of the Eu
harlee Farmers’ Club Is heartily in fa
vor of this system, each of them hav
ing "signed on the dotted line- months
ago. .
Mr Joe Brandon, next called upon.t
said he had made arrangements with
Mr J. W. Vaughan to make his speech,
and he then called upon the genial Car.
tersville banker to ’deliver.’’ Needless
to say, Mr. Vaughan did "deliver,”
making one of the best talks of the
meeting, stressing the great Importance
of farmers getting together and mar
keting co-operatively.
The general theme of the meeting
•was the imperative necessity of farm
ers co-operating in all their undertak
ings, whether it be buying or selling.
During the afternoon, matters of great

JUDGE AUBREY
SAYS TAX RAISE
CERTAIN TO COME
Believing there are a number of cit
izens in the same fix as ourselves —lost
In the maze of the varied and sudry tax
measures now pending before the leg
islature—the editor .of The Tribune-
News asked Judge George H. Aubrey,
one of Bartow county’s representatives,
to explain the situation.
This he sets forth very clearly in the
following Interesting letter:
House of Representatives,
Atlanta, Ga., July 24, 1923.
Mr. M. L. Fleetwood, Editor,
The Tribune-News, Cartersville, Ga.
My Dear Sir:
In response to your question concern
ing the tax measure now before the
house, I can truly say that for the
present all such matters are in a fluid
state, but with a perceptible tendency
to crystallize. This legislature, in my
opinion, is comprised, by a large ma
jority, of men who are sincerely desir
oub of accomplishing some definite re
forms that will benefit the common
wealth. Should they fall in this, it
will be the result rather of inexperi
ence. rather than of Indisposition.
There are three bills now before the
house committee on constitutional
amendments, to-wit, the bill intro
duced by Mr. Elders, of Tattnall coun
ty, another by Mr. Butts, of Crisp coun
ty. the third, a bill already passed In
senate, by Mr. Lankford. Each and all
of these bills contemplate an amend
ment to the constitution, and each pro
vides for an income tax. In one of them
the state is inhibited from levying any
ad valorem tax whatever, and would
depend for Us revenues upon an In
come tax limited to 6 per cent on net i
incomes, occupation , v and privilege
taxes. •
Mr. Lankford’s bill provides foe an
income tax and limits the ad valorem
tax to four mills, instead of five mills,
as under the present law. AH these
proposed measures have merit, yet all
of them contain features that are more
less objectionable to some one.
The result, of course, will be a com
promise, which it is hoped may con
tain all the good and eliminate all the
bad of the several bills.
It Is quite probable that the matter
will be referred to a sub-committee
with instruction to report a substitute
bill, that the main committee will rec
ommend and the assembly enact into
law. The end of this week should see
some substantial results, but should all
efforts fall, we need not be discouraged.
These constitutional amendments can
not be voted upon by the people before
the legislature of 1924 can enact and
refer any necessary legislation.
For an immediate increase in reve
nue, Camp and Grovenstein have in
troduced a sales tax bill, which pro
vides for a tax of one-half of one per
on the gross sales of all persons
doing a retail business.
This tax would be In lieu of all
license and occupation taxes which are
imposed by the present laws, and this
feature would seem to recommend it
self to the retailer.
This system of taxation is in force in
Canada, though under a more compli
cated form, and is said to be satisfac
tory and an excellent revenue producer.
Of course, the tax is paid by the ulti
mate consumer —all taxes are—but he
does not feel it any more than he feels
the customs duties, amounting to many
millions annually, which are collected
by the United States government.
Two bills which have great merit
have been introduced in the assembly,
g}it have not yet been acted upon. Both
provide for bi-ennial sessions of the
legislature, and in the interest of pub
lic peace and of economy, it is to be
sincerely hoped that one of them will
become a law.
I am, my dear sir,
Very truly yours,
G. H, AUBREY.

REUNION OF
SPROULL FAMILY
WELL ATTENDED
Annual Event Held This
Year at Stilesboro
Academy Big Din
ner at Noon a Feature.
By RUTH AUCHMUTEY.
On Tuesday, July 24, the annual
Sproull reunion was held at the old
Stilesboro academy, a place loved by
all the older descendants, for It was
here they obtained their knowledge and
have gone out into the world and made
a success worth while.
Yes, they were there, old, young lit
tle and big. The oldest member of this
band Is Captain H. J McCormick, one
of our many kinsfolk, whom we are
proud to call uncle. The youngest of
this band was Betty Ann Auchmutey,
little daughter of Mr. a nd Mrs. C. H.
Auchmutey, of Aragon, Ga., who has
yet to grow and reach the sU.idard
mark of the Sproull family.
For the last three years we have met
for thi3 same happy occasion, to re
unite our love with kith and kin. It
was brought to mind last year that not
one string of this large band had been
broken. We were not able to say that
this time, for since July last, four of
i our young and tender members have
been called to and oGod’n mission and to
fill the place that none other than they
could fill. They are Mrs. Roy Can
non, John W. Auchmutey, Miss Jessie
McCormick and J. Y. Baker.
Much pleasure was found during the
morning in seeking out the new faces,
getting acquainted with those whom
we have been so unfortunate to have
■at seen before. Also renewing our
avowal of love to those dear old fa
miliar faces who perhaps may not be
there next July to greet us.
At 12 o’clock sharp dinner was an
nounced, and such a dinner you have
never seen. Just such good things as
the Sproulls are noted for making. In
addition to all this food was Bruns
wick stew so well prepared by J. R-
Auchmutey, who has received the hon
or of being a fine stew cook.
Grace was rendered by Rev. Oscar
Rutland, of Aragon. Ga., one of our
happy members. During the afternoon
a business meeting was called and Mr.
A. C. Auchmutey was appointed chair
man of the general committee. The
place of meeting in July, 1924, will be
at Aragon, Ga
After the business meeting, music
was enjoyed throughout the afternoon.
Those invited besides the family
were Mr. and Mrs. Will Kennedy and
son, James, of Plains, Ga.; Mr. M. L.
Fleetwood, Miss Lucile Tinsley. Miss
Louise Dent, Mr. Sebe Shelton, of
Rome, and others.
Scheuer Brothers
Represented at Big
Fashion Show
Always keeping step with progress,
the enterprising department store of
Scheuer Brothers will be represented
at New York’s greatest fashion pag
ehnt by Mr. Lee Scheuer. Mr. Scheuer
left this week for New York, and while
there attending the pageant will make
purchases for the fall season In ready
to-wear, silks, novelties, etc.
These purchasse by Mr. Scheuer as
sures customers of this fast-growing
department store the smartest crea
tions for the coming season.
In a talk with a Tribune-News re
porter, Mr. Earl B. Scheuer, of -this
Jirm, declared they had gotten splendid
results from their annual July Clear
ance Sale, adding that among the large
number of customers served, many
came to Cartersville from other coun
ties.
Mr. Scheurer says he is absolutely
confident advertising in The Tribune-
News Is bringing greater results to
day than ever before, adding they had
been able to secure business from this
medium for a radious of sixty miles.
Cartersville, Georgia, July 26, 1923.
one of tha lot, and no beer could be
located here.
The biggest haul of the week came
Tuesday morning about 10 o’clock,
when a monster still, together with a
thousand to twelve hundred gallons of
beer were destroyed in the Macedonia
community. Officers poured the beer
down the creek, hacked up the timbers
about the still, and brought the copper
vat to town. It Is a curious-looking
thing, apparently home-made, since if
is not as smooth on the outside as some
others captured in the county in the
past.
Wednesday morning another still was
found and destroyed, making four moon
shine outfits put out Of the Way.
This is fine work by these efficient
officers, and they can have the satis
faction of knowing their work is ap
preciated by a great majority of Bar
tow county citizens.

IN BODY’S HISTORY
Presence of Mrs. Corra
. Harris an Outstanding
Feature of Gathering.
Trip Thru Tallulah
, Country Enjoyed by a
Large Number.
(By M. L. F.)
The thirty-seventh annual conven
tion of the Georgia Press Association,
which convened in Lavonia, Franklin
county, Monday evening of last week,
and continued through Wednesday
evening, not ending in fact, until Fri
day afternoon late, proved one of the
best-attended and most delightful in
many ways of the many held by th.s
organization, which is composed of the
leading editors and publishers of the
state.
Leaving Atlanta early Monday morn
ing, on a special train furnished by the
Southern Railway, the first stop was
at Toccoa. where the party was given
a royal welcome by the Kiwanis Club
and citizens of this fine little town,
which is the county seat of Stephens
county.
After motoring over miles and miles
of good roads, and viewing many sights
of interest, the party landed at Toccoa
Falls Institute, and inter-denominati
onal school, patterned along the lines
of the famous Berry school. Here,
mountain boys and girls are given an
opportunity to learn some useful voca
tion, specializing in religious training,
and fitting themselves for a life of
service. Among the students are two
brothers of Red Barron, while a cousin
of the famous athlete Is director of
home economics in Stephens county,
and proved her ability as an enter
tainer at the dinner served the guests.
Falls Arc Famous
Toccoa Falls, near the school, are
famous for their great height, exceed
ing even Niagara, the volume of water
coming over them not being as great,
of course. The falls proved an eye
opener to many, including the writer,
who viewed them for tlic f.rst time last
week. The secenery about the falls is
noted for its beauty, and many tourista
visit them every year, being charmed
with their grandeur.
Leaving Toccoa late in the afternoon,
the party stopped at the palatial
country home of Dr. and Mrs. Jeff Davie
Here is to be found old-fashioned sou
thern hospitality, amid scenes remind
ful of days that are now gone, except
as one happens to run upon them as
we did ttt the Davis home. The, host
and hostess received the visitors grac
iously and invited them to linger as
long as possible, anfi to "come again,
any time."
Lavonia Next Stop
Late In the afternoon, Lavonia was
reached, the hospitality of Toccoans
extended to the meeting place of the
convention, the entire party beipg car
ried in their cars. This was only the
beginning of a week of bountiful hos
pitality, that did not end until the
"gang” reached Athma late Friday
evening late.
Everything had been arranged to
g 0 off like clock -wofk at Lavonia.

The Product of Bartow
County Gaining Wide
Reputation For Its
Wholesomeness.
In a recent letter from Dr. Ren
nie, pastor of the First Presbyte
rian church of Greenwood, Miss.,
who had been presented a small,
cheese from the Euharlee factory
by a friend, through E. G. Beazley,
Dr. Rennie said It was undobutedly
the very best cheese he had ever
eaten.
Ex-Governor Kilby, of Anniston,
Ala., says the Euharlee cheese is
extra fine. He thinks he has a
right to know, he adds, as cheese
is one item on his diet list, and he
has never enjoyed any more than
the one recently sent him.
All of which makes good read
