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. Those from Bartow county making the journey to Athens last week and returning Saturday were Messrs. R. R. McCormick, Wait Hardin Olin Heath.

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.*’ Dr. W. B.

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.
