BARTOW COUNTY BOYS RETURN
AFTER COURSE AT STATE COLLEGE
Party of Thirty-three
Gentlemen Spent Five
Days in Athens and En
Route-Instuction Giv
en Boys in Different
Phases of Farm Work.
Going Again in 1924.
After discussing the trip to Athens
with vnrious members of the party who
went, The Tribune-News has gathered
the following interesting details about
the trip:
Leaving Cartersville at 7 a. m. on
Tuesday morning of last week t a Ford
truck with nineteen boys and two men,
as w'ell as several autos full of boys,
headed for Athens, by way of Mari
etta, Atlanta, Decatur, Stone Moun
tain and Monroe, The boys had their
lunches with them, which they all ate
up by 9 oclock. And from 9 o’clock in
the morning until 3 o'clock in the aft
ernoon they stopped at every weiner
.stand they passed.
The original expressions and the re
marks by these boys on first seeing the
many things that some of them had
never witnessed before, would touch
the heart of any man, giving him plea
sure which woiSld make him encouraged
more than ever to help the younger
people.
Some of the boys in this party had
never seen a street car, or a paved
street, or a concrete sidewalk, up until
the morning of August 7th. And yet
these boys are equal to the intelligence
of any boy in Cartersville, Atlanta or
Athens. While being entertained in
the Federal Reserve Bank by the gov
ernor, these same boys accepted with
more grace the courtesy shown them
by the governor of the bank than
many a boy would who had attended
college. And the same was true all the
way along the road, of the different
things the boys had a chance to study.
The hour and a half study jn the Ford
Motor plant on Ponce de Leon avenue
was worth all the money put into the
trip, giving the boys a chance to see
what co-operation and pulling together
could accomplish. The party arrived
in Athens about 9 o'clock Tuesday eve
ning, was furnished cots and sleeping
quarters in the new Hardeman hall,
one of the best equipped, largest and
finest buildings of the many on the
State College of Agriculture campus.
The boys were quartered in this build
ing during their visit in Athens,
The building and sleeping arrange
ments for the boys were cared for by
the boys, and left in the same condi
tion as if they had been in some fine
home, and the grounds around the
building were left in clean and trim
shape, despite the fact that in this same
building five hundred boys ha ( i lec
tures and work from three to five hours
each day. But the boys from Bartow
county were quick to remove? any pa
per, trash, or dirt that might get in the
wrong place, even if it was not left
there by them.
Rusiness men and farmers from Bar
tow county may not realize what it
means to have thirty-three people from
one county to go to a place and. con
duct themselves in such a way that
they will win 1 the admiration of all
those with whom they come in contact.
But this same spirit went a long way
towards persuading John J. Wiikins,
the president of the * Athens National
Bank at Athens, to give $5,000 to build
a permanent camp on the campus of the
Ptate College of Agriculture, for boys
and girls, such as those who visited
the State Col'ege of Agriculture from
Bartow county.
The boys were up each morning by
sun-up, finished their breakfast, and
ready to start to werk promptly at 7:45
each morning. All .the boys anj girls
who were taking this work were gath
ered in the auditorium for two hours.
BASEBALL GAMES DURING
REMAINDER OF MONTH.
Harris Cope, who has managed the Car
tersvile team this season, has been called to
Birmingham, to resume his duties as coach at
Howard College. Mr. Sam Verner has been
elected to succeed Cope as manager, and ?.l l
games scheduled for the remainder of Au
gust will be played, including the Buford se
ries here August 29th, 30th and 31st.
Marietta comes here Friday for a game
and a close contest is expected.
It behooves all fans to get squarely be
hind the Cartersville team and support it as
they never have before. A number of loyal
fans have backed the team for the remainder
of the season, and now urge every citizen
who loves baseball to attend every contest.
THE BARTOW TRIBUNE
(TRIBUNE, VOL. 13, No 31.)
(NEWS, VOL. 38, No. 20.)
Then the boys were carried to Harde
man hall, where they have a seating
capacity of 1,000, and given lectures
and practical demonstrations on the
dairy cow, hogs, beef cattle, poultry
and farming in general. At 11:15 they
v.ynt back to the auditorium, where
they huff-moving, pictures on farm life
for one hour and a half. At that time
.hey were served dinner.
Then at 2 o’clock they gathered in
Hardeman hall, where each day they
had judgrvg contests, and more lec
tures for a couple of hours. From 4 to
6 o'clock in the afternoon the b°>' B
were carried on -different days to the
dairy barns, the lest plots, poultry
plant, hog barn, and the farming in
general, of the college farm. And al
ways with these boys, in groups of
twenty to forty, was someone who
could give them definite instructions
in the things they were studying. From
6 to 7 o’clock the boys and girls all
gathered on the a mpitheatre, between
the girls’ dormitory and Hardeman
hall, and taught and played games, sang
sdngs and got acquainted with each
other. From 7 to 8 o’clock was the
supper hour. From 8 to 9 they had
moving pictures in the auditorium.
From 9 o'clock at night to daylight in
the morning, the boys were allowed to
rest.
Speaking of the trip, Mr. Bob Mc-
Cormick said:
"Those of us who made the trip be
lieve that such trips and the instruc
tions these boys got at the State Col
lege is the salvation of the farm boys
and girls of Georgia. It ought to be
done again next year and every year—
the men of our community owe it to
them, and I know of nothing that
would be worth more to the future
prosperity of Bartow county.
"I talked with quite a number of gen
tlemen on this trip, who had views sim
ilar to my own. Through the $5,000
gift made by Mr. John J. Wilkins to
build quarters on the campus for both
boys and girls, it is planned to have
these camps in full swing every sum
mer. Free quarters and free instruc
tion for all the boys and girls who will
come. The far-reaching importance of
such a movement cannot be estimated
at the present time, but it can easily
be seen that It will do much toward
bringing to pass the day when the ex
odus of the farm boys and girls to the
city will cease, ana we will have an
intelligent hard-working, educated and
prosperous citizenry in our rural com
munities,
"This year the number of boys who
took advantage of this opportunity was
comparatively small, but I fully believe
that next year we will have several
times as many to make this trip. But
even from this small beginning. I be-J
lieve that the instruction and inspira
tion received bV those boys marks the
beginning of a better day in Bartow
county.
“Too long: has the edueat on of th e
farm boy and girl been neglected.
When we educate the boys to work or.
the farm intelligently, we will no long
er need to worry about the negroes
going north, or labor questions. Such
problems will be eliminated to a large
extent.

$l5O WAS TOO
CHEAP FOR NEW
FORD SEDAN
On last Tuesday afternoon a young
man drove into Cartersville in a brand
new Four-Door Ford Sedan. 1923 mod
el, and stopped at a local garage. The
tire was gone off of one of the rear
wheels, but when he of Vred to sell
the car for $l5O, things began to look
as if something might be wrong. Upon
being questioned, the man, who gave
his name a s John A. Clark, of Phila
delphia, said that the car was his, that
he was in hard luck, and just wanted
to sell it. City Marshal Joe Ben Jenk
ins locked Clark up for the night, and
teegraphed authorities, and soon learn,
ed that the car had been purchased
on the installment plan, and that Clark
had no right to sell it. He was instruc
ted *° hold Clark and the car until
an officer could arrive from Philadel
phia to take him in charge.
An unusual feature of the case was
the fact that , Clark had kept a record
of his trip South, making various no
tations about what cities he passed,j
through, and the different experiences ]
he had. His record showed that he
came through Chattanooga, Rome and
into Cartersville. At Chattanooga he
had written: "Was offered SSUO for the
car. Took :he road South. Roads very
bad. Dixie Highway.”
Upon being taken in charge by the
Cartersville poliie, Clark declared that
the paper he had kept a record on was
a letter he had written to his wife, and
requested Chief Jenkins not t 0 read it.
The "letter ’ was not read until it was
found o ut that the Philadelphia auth
orities wanted, Clark held.
The above case brings to mind the
experience of a gentleman who drove
into Cartersville a couple of months
ago and tried to sell anew Ford coupe
for $50.00. He met with an adventure
very similar to that of Mr. Clark.
In speaking of the two incidents.
Chief Jenkins said: "Those fellows
need not think that they can get by
with that sort of stuff in this town, "or
I will pick ’em up every time.*’

CONGREGATIONS
AT TABERNACLE
GROWING DAILY
Rarely has Cartersville been won so
completely in so short a time as she
has in the few days during the prog
ress of the annual meetings being held
at the Tabernacle by Dr. W. B. KUey.
the noted Baptist preacher, known
wherever the gospel of Jesus Christ U
preached, and who is from Minneapolis,
Minn.
The large crowds that have grown
with each succeeding service have not
only increased in volume but the in
terest has grown not only in the splen
did personality of Dr. Riley and the
very extraordinary sermons he has de
livered, but every one is charmed with
the musical program rendered at each
service, led by P.ev. Frank Pirn.
On Sunday four very fine services
were held, with increasing crowds at
each service.
At 10 a. m. each of the city Sunday
schools gathered at their own church
and marched to the Tabernacle in bod
ies. and occupied space reserved espe
cially for them. A more impressive
sight has never been witnessed in Car.
tersville.
Dr. Riley spoke to the Sunday schools
His subject was "Now." At 11 o’clock
he preached to several thousand peo
ple.
At 3 In the ufternoon, after a beauti
ful song service, led by Mr. Pirn, Dr.
Riley spoke, and at 7:30 in the evening
again to an audience that taxed the
Tabernacle limits.
The subjects of Dr. Riley's sermoml
on Sunday were: 11 a. m„ “The Value
of Church Membership"'; 3 p. m., "The
One Astray ”; 7:30 p m., ‘'Mutual Con
fession."
Monday morning (and each succeed
ing day until the close of the meeting)
at 8 o’clock the morning service was
held. The service was from 8 until
8:60. giv'ng the merchants time to get
to their business at 9 o’clock.
The commiitee was reluctant to grant
Dr. Riley's request for this radical
change in the time of the morning ser
vice, but when they saw the very large
audience that quickly gathered at 8
a. m. Monday, they were convinced of
added evidence of Dr. Riley’s wisdom,
this audience largely increasing edch
succeeding morning.
At he 8 o clock services during the
v/eek Dr. Riley’s subjects were:
Monday—Will Christ Come Again?
Tuesday—What Will Occur When
He Comes?
Wednesday—What About the Resur.
rection Bodies?
Thursday—What Will Happen in the
Millenium ?
Friday—What and Where Is Heav
en ?
Each night the services are evangel
istic.
In the afternoon each day at 3
o’clock the services for young people
are led by Rev. Frank Pim, who is an
expert in young people's work.
A large number have professed con
version.
