J. FRMK STEPHENS
PUSSES m
After Long Illness Promi
nent Citizen Succumbs
to Death.
Mr. J. Frank Stephens, for many
years one of Cartersville’s leading
bvsiness men, passed away at his
home on last Thursday evening at
seven o’clock after an illness of sev
eral weeks. He had suffered for some
time from a complication of diseases
and, although his death was not un
expected, yet it brought sincerest
grief to his many friends and relatives
in Cartersville and Bartow county.
Mr. Stephens was born in Canton
cm February 27, 1856. In 1874 he mov
ed to Cartersville and entered the
grocery business. About fifteen years
ago he retired from active business
By his careful methods and good
judgment Mr. Stephens had amassed
a considerable amount of property.
He was always interested in civic af
fairs and served as councilman for a
number of years. He was also an ac
five member of the Methodist church,
having been a steward for some time.
Mr. Stephens is survived by his
wife, who was formerly Miss Viola
Gemes, by one son, Frank Stephens,
Jr., and by six daughters, Mrs. J. H.
Wofford, Mrs. Madison Milam, Mrs.
Luther Richards, of Calhoun, Misses
Sarah, Lucile and Rachel Stephens.
Also by two sisters, Mrs. Mary A.
Davis, of Astor, Texas, and Mrs. W. P.
Laramore, of Bradentown, Fla., and
Cartersville, Ga., and by one brother,
Mr. John A. Stephens, of Cartersville.
The funeral was conducted on Sat
urday morning at 10 o’clock at the
residence by Rev. WT, T. Hunnicutt,
his pastor. The pall bearers were mem
bers of the board of stewards of the
Methodist church: Messrs. R. M.
Gaines. R. B. Harris, Newt Bradley
T. E. Vaughan, J. P. Adair and J. L.
Landers, and he was laid to rest In
Oak Hill cemetery.
Mr. John E. Stephens, of Rome, Mr
Robert Stephens, of Adalrsvllle, and
Mr. Luther Richards, of Calhoun,
were present at his funeral.
THE MIGHTY POWER
OF INTEREST.
A financial expert writing for the
New York Globe, Atlanta Journal and
many other great dailies, says:
“If $3.00 is put aside every week,
upon a 4% annual interest, it will
jield in ten years, $1,904.44, in twenty
years $4,795.30, in thirty years
$3,976.48 and in forty years over
$15,000.00”.
That is true.
It is also true, that if a man saves
one-third of his salary for thirty-five
years upon the same interest basis he
will then have the balance of his life
end to eternity, a monthly income
equal to the full salary.
If the power of 4% annual interest
i* so great, why isn’t the co-operative
opportunity of our Local Building &
Loan Association, that invests only in
first mortgage realty, and yields 6%
to 8% for its savings, a far greater
opportunity?
You may look to congress this year
for wide discussion on Rural Credits
ft r the masses. When it is developed
i*- will be local communities entering
in person, a mutual or co-operative
organization to help one another and
the first applicant who secures best
the vested money, receives first help.
That’s building and loan by anew
and more popular name.
For the last few years, pushing cit
izens of Cartersville have urged the
clerk, wage earner, farmer, all, to
Ijtve With System, and have built up
'4if organization of over $100,000.00

THR BARTOW TRIBUNE
PRESBYTERIANS
Hitt BANQUET
Future of Church is Planned
and Discussed at “Get-
Together-Meeting”.
Thursday evening the ladies of the
First Presbyterian church gave a most
delightful banquet to the Presbyterian
men of our city. Formal invitations,
enclosing tickets of admission, were
issued to about one hundred men. The
Sunday school room was transformed
into the appearance of a modern cafe
a long table seating about twenty-five
being placed in the center and smaller
tables in the surrounding class rooms
Spotless linen and dainty flower dec
orations added to the beauty andcheer
iuess of the scene. At the appointed
hqur the invited guests gathered
around the board, and then the men
got busy, and if the lively animation
and intense activity here shown coull
be transferred to the other depart
ments of church work, well, the mel
lifluous num of her machinery could
be heard around the world.
The repast being over, a number o
brief, pointed talks were made along
lines of interest to the church. Mr.
Joseph S. Calhoun, president of the
First National Bank, presided, intro
ducing the speakers in a most pleas
ing and appropriate manner. Judge
T W. Milner talked on “Our individ
ual responsibility to the church.” He
pressed the thought that religion was
a personal matter. We do not get into
heaven in denominations or families
or societies. When the books are op
ened each man will be judged accord
ing to the writing in his own book.
Mr. Henry Milam, county superintend
ent of education, spoke on “The great
est need of our church.” He pointed
cut that religion consists not alone
in lingering on the mountain top of
vision with the Master; but in minis
tering to the needs of those in the
valley below. The pendulum must
swing from the light of the transfig
uring presence to the dusty w r alks of
men where the tired toilers and suf
ferers are longing for our loving sym
pathy and help.
The great need of the church today
i not so much men who will give, as
men who will go. In various reports
which were read several facts were
brought out which gave special sat
isfaction to the members of this
ciiurch. It was shown that in the mat
ter of giving to the entire work of the
Kingdom during the past year this
church stood easily at the top. The
only church in Cherokee Presbytery
approaching our record gave about
$13.00 per member for all causes while,
we gave a little more than SIB.OO per
member. It was especially gratifying
that this goodly pro rata came almost
entirely as a free will offering. No
high pressure method was used in
connection with any cause. Our plan
was to make a simple straightforward
statement of the needs of any particu
lar cause, requesting the people to
bring whatever offering they felt they
ought to make to the cause.
The key note to the spirit of the
meeting was sounded by one brother
who said that he felt that this gather
ing represented a high water mark
in the history of our church and that
it made him glad he was a Presby
terian. All were a unit in the belief
ti-at such “get-to-gether” meetings
would be a great source of uplift to
cur men and tbs suggestion that an
other be held at an early date was
heartily approved.

FRIDAY MORNING
Death of Popular Citizen

He was a man of strength and yet
of gentleness. Possessing a most at

BARTOW COUNTY
m FOR 1914
Plans Are Being Made to
Make Next County Fair
a Wonder.
It is not too early to have our ac
tention directed to an enterprise of
which we are all proud and justly so
—The Bartow County Fair.
Plans for this year’s Fair are being
discussed and during next week the
stock holders will have a meeting at
which definite plans will be made and
announced.
In the meantime it will be well to
direct our thought toward the Fair;
what it can mean to Bartow countv
and what each one can do to help i‘
along.
In the first place Cartersville pos
sesses what has been said to be the
prettiest and best equipped fair
ground for a small town in the entire
state. Of course we all know that no
county, the country over, can boast
<*f more resources than Bartow. We
have the resources, we have the op
portunity to exhibit them, we have the
best place to exhibit them. The onlv
conclusion is, then, that the success
■jt failure depends on the individual —
on ea-'h of us.
The officials of the Fair Associa
tion are untiring workers and have
never failed to give their best efforts
jp every instance. But interested and
active as they are, they cannot make
a success of the Fair without the help
..{ the people.
Now is the time to begin to plan
and especially are the farmers urged
to begin to think, plan and work for
the Fair. On no other class of busines-.
n.en does the Fair depend more since
ii is the farmer that develops much
of old Bartow’s richness. Not only
does the farmer give help, but re
ceives it. The best and most modern
methods are advanced and each im
provement helps the people much.
Now is the time to begin to plan.
When the Fair “fever” proper
seizes us it will be too late. Plan now
and not at harvesting time. And may
each farmer contribute and help the
people realize just how rich we are.
There will be new features intro
duced, and the prizes will be well
worth the effort.
In the ladies’ department there will
also be new features and. as good as
last year’s Fair was, let us make this
cne twice as good.
Also it isn’t too early to begin
boosting. Tell the world what a good
p'ace you live in, tell them the Fail
111 prove it and before very long
they will be believing you.
DINNER.
On Wednesday evening Mr. Josepn
Calhoun was host at a most delightful

CORN CLUB PRIZES
OFFERED FOR 1914.
H. G. Hastings Tells of Enthusiastic
Plans Already Under Way in Geor
gia.
Atlanta, Ga. —Enthusiastic plans arc
already under way in Georgia for the
1914 Corn Club contests and for an
ocher big show like the one widen
took place at the state capitol in De
cember and brought hundreds of
sturdy farmer boys to Atlanta from
all sections of the state.
H. G. Hastings, chairman of the ag
riculture committee of the Atlanta
Chaifiber of Commerce and manager
of the Georgia State Corn Show, will
have general charge of the exhibitioi
again this year. It was through the
influence of Mr. Hastings that the
Chamber of Commerce took up the
Corn Show work, and his Interest has
teen a leading factor in its success.
It is impossible to estimate the val
ue of the Corn Club movement to Geor
g.a agriculture. The production of
corn in Georgia has been increased be
tween $30,000,000 and $40,000,000 dur
ing the past six years. The fathers o*
the Corn Club boys, who first looked
on the movement as a fad, have at
last come to realize its great practi
cal value, and are now as much inter
ested as the boys in increasing the
productiveness of their land.
The corn club movement has spread
a\ over the south, and extensive plans
for this year are' being made in prac
'tically; all the? Sohtherji states. Mr.
Bastings has renewed fir 1914 his of
fer of $1,200 in coni club prizes to be
distributed among the iten principal
southern corn-growing states. The H
G. Hastings prizes in Georgia include
a $250 scholar ship at-the
of Agriculture and cash pvi*e9< of sf?o
and S2O.
The Hastings scholarship was won
last year by Carl Campbell of Pauld
ing county, who 168 bushels

After an illness extending over

PLANS TO PRESENT
A EUGENICS BILL.
Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 28.—The plans to
present a eugenics bill at the next ses
sion of the legislature to regulate mar
riages in Georgia, will probably have
to be revised or abandoned altogether
as the result of the constitutional
snags struck by similar measures in
Wisconsin and other states where
they have been tried.
• The fact that the Wisconsin meas
ure cannot be enforced is taken to
mean the likelihood that the bill pro
posed for Georgia in its present form
could not be enforced either, even
though it passed the legislature.
The Georgia bill was to be concern
ed first with health and secondly with
social conditions. It was to provide
that sufferers from incurable diseases
should not be permitted to marry, and
to force all persons contemplating
matrimony to state whether they have
e/er been married before.
The bill proposed to make tt nec
essary, as under, JVlsconsih law.
that a medicaj certificate should be
necessary to tl\e of i mir
r’age license. It was not
however, to interfere on medical
grounds, except (or the gravest rea
sons.

“What, we want ip Georgia,” jsaid a
member of the assembly in dis<|uglsipg
the measure ? “is simply, cofnmam
