JlO EASILY
First National Bank Inau
gurates a Plan to Save
Christmas Money.
The First National Bank of Carters-
Tjlle has added a feature to its busi
ness which is bound to attract a pat
ronage which will serve, in many
nays, to aid every one who adopts it.
It is a well worked out plan of
Christmas Saving by which certain
sums of money, of small amounts, are
regularly deposited each week in this
well known institution by patrons who
find that it will be an easy and effec
tve method of providing a balance
which is to be spent on the eve of
Christmas.
It is designed to meet a demand
nhich will be beneficial to the depos
itor, to the merchant, and to the bank.
It will enable every member of a
family, and every citizen of the coun
ty, to practice saving for a definite
purpose and the attractiveness of it
is apparent because of the manifest
beuefits it will furnish at the glad sea
on of the year.
The plan is simple and systematic.
The more general its adoption the
greater will be the private and public
benefits to follow.
Any person has the option of de
positing with the bank either in
amounts commencing with 2 cen.s a
week, 4 cents the next week 6 cents
the next week and thus on through 40
weeks, beginning March 9th and last
ing until December 14th when he will
have to his credit in bank the lum of
11C.40 which is then sent to this par
ticular class of depositors by the
check of the bank for that amount.
Or he can start by depositing the 'irst
week, beginning March 9th, the sum of
cents, the next week 10 cent', in
oieasing his deposit each week over
•he previous week 5 cents, until at the
end of forty weeks he will have to his
credit the sum of $41.00 which amount
!-• paid to the depositor by the bank
xd will be available to meet Christ
mas demands.
Likewise fixed amounts .pf 25 cents
a week for forty weeks will be accept
ed on deposit on this fund for Christ
mas needs and which of course will
amount to SIO.OO or the sum of 50
cents a week will in like manner run
one s balance by the time Christmas
comes around to $20.00.
One can adopt either plan for any
small amount above a starting point
of 1 cent, up to any amount he may
choose.
The payments must be made
promptly and regularly to secure the
best results and each week must re
cord a -deposit. This plan can be fol
lowed by either the “grown ups ’ or
■‘•the kiddies,” by women or men and
by rich and poor and the results will
work out wonderfully pleasing.
It w'ill mean that in Cartersville and
1 rrtow county there will be hund eds
who are regularly and systematically
preparing to make next Christmas a
joyous occasion not only to the ones
f or whom gifts are purchased but to
the giver as well since he is giving
without straining himself.
The Cartersville merchants will en
courage the plan for the reason that
i' will mean the sudden turning loose
of a big fund of money, which hun
dreds have saved for the purpoie of
buying Christmas gifts for their loved
ones.
Even 500 such patrons averaging a
SIO.OO balance will have ss,!)u to
spend during the holidays and more
than five hundred can easily adopt
such a plan which will average a great
or balance than that. Suppose the
Cartersville merchants should have
? ,000 spent across their counters
r.ext Christmas of money thus saved
for the purpose of buying Christmas
presents, in addition to their natural
volume of business. A happier Christ
mas or a more prosperous lot of mer
chants would never have been known,
Everybody needs money for Christ
mas. This is decidedly the most at
tractive plan of making sure tha f it
v 51! be available.
It is being universally adopted rhe
coies of ti e north and the leading
banking houses of the country are
making it a feature of their business
No pass books are required. The

lilE BARTOW TRIBUNE
LEO Ml. FRANK
■REFUSED NEW TRIAL
Supreme Court, of Georgia,
Refused to Grant New
Trial Last Tuesday.
The Supreme court of Georgia, in
an elaborate and carefully consider
ed opinion, affirmed the trial court iu
the case of the state vs. Leo Frank
last Tuesday, as a result of which
Frank was denied anew trial for the
murder of Mary Phagan for which he
is under a sentence of death. This
case stands out prominently among
the criminal trials of Georgia.
Owing to the prominence of the de
fendant, who occupies a position of
great responsibility with the NaMonal
Fencil Company, of Atlanta, Georgia,
as the operative manager of its busi
ness affairs, great interest attached
Lo the case immediately upon the pub
lication of the suplcion that he was
connected with it, which suspicion was
caused by his close proximity to the
place where she met her death by foul
n ethods. Upon detectives being put
upon the case the city of Atlanta al
most to a man, became aroused and
coon the people of the entire state
found themselves following the publi-
cations of various matters of evidence
which pointed in the direction of the
guilt of the defendant. The murdered
girl was considered very pretty and
attractive, and, though she was poor
*nd had few advantages, was unusual
ly popular. The public demanded that
no stone be left unturned to ascertain
the guilty person, and though there
were thousands who at first, and many
who yet do not believe that Frank is
guilty, he was afforded a trial and
was defended by Luther Rosser and
Reuben Arnold, two of the most prom
inent lawyers in Georgia. Alter a
trial, lasting over four weeks, before
a jury of twelve men of unusual Intel
ligence, he was found guilty of mur
der in the first degree.
An appeal was taken to the Supreme
court of Georgia and many errors were
assigned and legal reasons wky Frank
should have anew trial. The state was
was compelled to sustain its conten
tion that he was given a fair trial and
that none of the alleged errors were
prejudicial to his case.
Perhaps no criminal trial in Geor
gia has ever raised so much legal in
terest. Leo Frank was a man of un
usual intelligence, possessed a college
education, had traveled in this and
other countries, and was a Jew. to
which race can not be traced many
acts of violence, but who are in gener
al a law-abiding people. Even since he
was convicted by the court below, he
Las been elected president of the
U’nai Brith Society, a Jewish organ
ization, which undoubtedly showed
confidence in his innocence upon the
part of his brethren.
It has not been announced what
caurse will be pursued by the defend
ant, but it is probable, if a constitu
tional question can be raised, his case
will be carried by the defendant to the
United States Supreme court.
amounts you pay are already printed
together with a showing of what you
have at the end of any particular
week, and as you make your small
weekly deposit the date and amount
is punched in your card, the bans re
taining a similar record. It is simple
and easy and does not require a sec
end's time to receive and record the
deposit made.
And just before Christmas you get
cue big check from the bank, which
the very best time to get a check
far you will surely ne >d it then.
The First National Bank earnestly
invites consideration of its plan and
the co-operative patronage of a'l for
the greater the number in the c’ubs
just so much greater will be our hap
piness and strength next year.
We congratulate the bank officers
upon their adoption of a plan pf sav

so many ways.

CARTERSVILLE, GA., FEBRUARY 19, 1914
ATLANTA ENTERTAINS
MERCHANTS
J. W. Vaughan Makes a
Witty and Interesting
Speech and Scores a Hit.
The Merchants and Manufacturers
.Association, of Atlanta, entertvned
Lie retail merchants of the south at
the auditorium in Atlanta last Fridav
evening, at which there were more
than six hundred present. The enter
tainment took the form of a great ban
quet and the spread was one of the
finest ever given in Atlanta. At this
Dteeting Hon. Bolling Jones, one of
the leading manufacturers anu the
postmaster of Atlanta acted as toast
master. Hon. John Skelton Williams
comptroller of the treasury of the
United States, was one of the leading
speakers cf the occasion and made an
address which was instructive and in
tei esting and received the closest at
tention.
Hon. J. G. Woodward, mayor of At
lanta, was also called upon and gieatly
pleased his listeners with a thought
ful and conservative explanation of
his ideas concerning the importance of
the commercial interests of the south.
Mr. J. W. Vaughan, of Cartersville,
made one of the best speeches, If not
the best, made at the banquet. He
was given close attention and rhe at
tractiveness and brightness of his
speech and the originality of the man
i er in which he turned his wit toward
tie various classes of business was
well received and enjoyed. Mr. Vaugh
sns speech will be found below In
full.
Another speaker of the meeting was
United States Senator Hoke Smith,
who, as usual, delighted and enter
tained his ordinance notwithstanding
he dealt largely in statistics. Hjs pur
pose was to show the great resource
fulness of Georgia lands if the head
uas joined to the hand in the cultiva
tion of it.
The occasion was an altogether hap
py one thoroughly appreciated by the
-'isitors and undoubtedly profitable to
all who were present.
Mr. J. W. Vaughan’s speech wa3 as
fo'lows:
Mr. Chairman, our distinguished
guests, members of the Merchants
Convention of the Southern States,
ladies and gentlemen:
Fashion, in the re-adjustment of
etiquette, gives to the countryman
freedom from use of full dress clothes
at a banquet, and also allows the
typewriter as a brace to mental tim
idity. Both are an insurance against
fright, balk and embarassment. You’ve
often heard it said that girls are all
good, and boys are bad. I do not ac
cept it, because the three youngsters
intimately near me have proven them
selves, thank God, equal to the good
ness of girls. And of a certain class
of over a dozen 12 and 14 year young
masters, I always delight to represent,
and defend against calumny of tha'
nature.
Also from the deeper density of ig
norance you have been told that the
bible declaration, ‘‘All men are liars,”
is applicable only to store-keepers. I
congratulate you that there is now
leason and demand for anew classifi
cation. Europe long ago dubbed Amer
icans as a set of shop keepers, and it
v. as not intended to be complimen
tary.
Now listen,
A store-keeper is one who can do
little else; secures goods as he can
get them, plays checkers, talks poll
t.cs, and encourages the constant pres
ence of all who will not work. A shop
keeper is one whose ginger is keenly
active in the display and push of hq
at ded —-the smaller units of merchan
dise —offering things to sell and not
to wear. They are successful becausq
o* the Barnum methods and th
world’s majority of patrons. The sup
ply dealer is one who 1 ans monev a
usurious rates through bags of neces
s'ties, retaining title until
r r and upon the crop when planted, tak
ing all when gathered, leaving a re
tamer balance of debt “you are my
customer for next year” and as wealth
often accumulates upon the ignorance
o f parallels underneath It, he
rich.

SRAKEMAN OH L.B N.
EATALLY INJURED
M. L. Holden Died Friday
Morning From Injuries
Received Thursday.
L. M. Holden, a brakemaa in the
employ of the L. & N. railroad Com
pany, was fatally injured in th„ rai’-
rc-ad yards Thursday night, resulting
iu his death Friday morning.
Mr. Holden was on the run from
Etowah to Atlanta and a brakeman cn
cue of the freight trains. When, the
train stopped at Junta he stepped in
'o Henderson’s Restaurant to get a
midnight lunch. He was notified that
bis train was about to start. He im
mediately ran out of the restaurant,
across the tracks unmindful of and
rot noticing that a freight train was
backing up into the yards from the
Seaboard Airline Railroad, but an L
& N. train using those rails. The cab
caught him, knocked him down across
the tracks and ran over and across
both of his legs near the hip.
He was taken to the office of Dr.
A. B. Greene, who at once stated that
his chances for life were very remote.
His legs were badly mangled and
crushed and within four hours from
the time he was injured he died.
It was evidently the purpose of Mr.
Holden to jump his own train, which
was actually in motion going south.
Tbe train which was backing and
which struck him was one which was
used in the service between here and
Anniston, Alabama. Mr. Holden re
quested his friends about him, being
an unmarried man, to notify his father
living in C-opperhill, Tenn., and his
sister at Ranger. He was a popular
employee of the road and highly es
teemed by his employers as well as
bis associates. His home was at EIII
- Ga.

which being that of pole vaulting. In

form some high vaulting the pole slip

F. C. WATKINS’ HOUSE
DESTROYED BY FIRE.
On Monday night about 10:15 it wat
discovered that the home of Judge F
0. Watkins, on Douglas street, was
alvAze. The alarm was given and >he
family were aroused and had a very
narrow escape from suffocation. Near
ly every bit of the household furni
ture was damage and the house itself
nearly distroyed in the inside.
The fire department responded
piomptly upon receiving the alarm
j-cd did good work, saving a great
deal of property by their skillful
handling of the fire fighting apparatus.
The loss is estimated to be about
SI,OOO with only four or five hundred
dollars insurance.
