T()L GHRISIMAS FUNDS 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 bank furnishes a card on which 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.

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.

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. A GOOD SHOWING And a Kind Word Is Better Than Critics.

Joel White, the young son of Mr r-id Mrs. Walter White, was painfully Injured while at play upon the school grounds daring the past week at the West Side school. It seems that young White, with a number of other boys was engaged in the practice of athe letic sports of various kinds, among which being that of pole vaulting. In placing tbe pole In an effort to per form some high vaulting the pole slip ped just as young White leaped from the ground, and, thus cau ing him t lose his balance, he was thrown to the ground, fracturing his wrist. He was at once carried home and his injuries attended, since when he has been get ting along nicely. His little friends all hope for him a speedy recovery. WILL C. SATTERFIELD HURT WHILE DRIVING. An accident which resulted in pain ful injuries to W. C. Satterfield, man ager of the Riverside Ochre Company, took place on the Cartersville and Emerson road Tuesday morning when Mr. Satterfield was driving to Cac:ers ville. Some portion of the buggy in wnlch he was riding became detached from another part of it, causing Mr. Sat trrfield to be thrown very violently t the ground, and, for a while, ne lay stunned in the road. Very soon aid reached him and it was found that he had suffered severe and painful in juries, though not necessarily serious, i- his right arm and shoulder. He was b’ought to the city where medical at tention was sought and obtained, and, rpoa the injuries being treated and his arm and shoulder bandaged, he ras able to get out during the after noon. Beyond having to carry his arm in a sling for a few days it is not be lieved that he will suffer any further inconvenience.

On the other hand, the county offi cers objbct to their campaign being mixed up with the issues that rise out of the race for governor, United states senator, and the legislature. They con* tend that there is too much opportu nity for manipulation, and due to the that such campaigns produce their races for county offices are made t!,h subject of barter and trading, la w hich they are unable to take ear>* of themselves. The registration of voters closes a’ong the early part of April and ?t to believed that the committee will er e-cise the wish of the candidates for county offices, and the sentiment among the people prevailing generally, and call an early primary to dispose of this question. A long race for county offices nec essarily engenders more or less feel ing and the candidates and their fj lends put to the necessity of appeal ing for support by personal solici ts ticn which is more or less trouble some and embarrassing, as well as chmoralizing. The candidates for county offices and their friend3 wank the people to be given an opportuni ty to make their selection so that tfc defeated ones can return to their vocations and the successful candi dates prepare for their Installation in to office. , A NEW THEATRE FOR MOTION PICTURES.

Gould, former owner of the Wigwam Theatre, have leased that portion of the Bradley building on Bank Block ard are remodeling it preparatory to tutting in a motion picture theatre. This is considered one of the best locations in Cartersville for a placer of amusement of this character and it safe to say that Mr. White and Mr. Could will furnish the public with the lest films to be had and sach other interesting features as are now af forded the patrons of motion picture shows. It is expected that the room w II be loady for occupancy by the first of the month. 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.

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.
