VOL 4. coin Fi rani asiup PREMIUMS Prizes to be Given Made Public and Pre parations Being Made for a Great Agricul tural Display This Year. COUNTY FAIR. \\ e publish below the premium list as to the agricultural exhibits for the county fair this year. Every farmer in Bartow county should carefully scan this list and make arrangements to exhibit his products and strive to pull down some one or more of the many premiums offered. The County Pair Association is very anxious to make the agricultural exhibit this year the best ever exhibited by a Georgia county. The people of Bartow county earnestly hope that the farmers will co operate and give their best efforts toward making this year a creditable agricultural display. All regretted that this deficiency existed at the fair last year. Last year’s show was a splendid affair, and one which received the praise and commendation of all who attended it, but it was admitted, and had to be admitted, that the agricultural display was not up to anything like what Bartow county can do and what Bartow county farmers are capable of doing. The County Fair Association is going to make improvements suitable lor the accommodation of all exhibits, however many and however large, for the agricultural department, and are earnestly stiiving to interest every farmer in Bartow county in the effort to have the agricultural interests and farming products of this county shown this year. With the appearance of the premium list every other department of the fair will now get busy to make it a great display this year. The several committees are at work in their several spheres and all are enthusiastic over the prospects. Premium List —Agricultural Department. S. S. Atwood, Supt.

HOWREN GETS PAINFULLT INJURED Popular Contractor Falls From Scaffolding Wed nesday Afternoon. G. V.

P. Lewis on Wes Side and was standing on a scaffold near the eaves of the building whe the scaffold broke. Mr. Howren fel to the ground with great force. Nc other person was on the scaffold a the time but several other workmen were on the roof and at other places on the job. These rushed to Mr. How ren’s assistance and telephoned a' oacd for assistance. Mr. Howren wa taken to his home and Dr. Griffin war summoned. Mr. Howren said that there was bundle of shingles near him but hi does not know whether they fell upoi him or not. No bones were broken bu ir was feared that Mr. Howren suf fered internal injuries more or lesr serious.

SPENDTHRIFTS •" MAKING BACHELORS. ‘ Men are not marrying because thi women are spendthrifts; because girls’ colleges fail to train them for life’s problems. “Our women of today are good spend ers, and so are our men, and the small salary earned by one, or both, does not supply the gnawing fad of spending. If the woman practiced econ omy, if the young man who seeks the fashion book and society list would ponder, no doubt the two could live on what one spends.” Is that true? A sound thinker says i'. is. Alany are doing well, but those who are saving are but a small part of our people. How many young men have saved u enough to start them in business? Only one person in 100 ever saves ?i,OOO. Saving to spend is not progress. Saving to invest is success. The local Building & Loan Asso ciation is mutual, co-operative, help ful. Organized to teach, encourage and help in saving.

Unless the citizens of Bartow county j observe the formalities required by the registration law of this state they wib lose their opportunity to vote .n the coming elections. Registration closes on April 6. Dep uties have been appointed for each district and the matter of registering 2kiw is a very simple one. Every citi zen should at once proceed to qualify himself in order to exercise the priv i’eges which he will doubtless want to enjoy during this year. There is a great advantage in regis tering now, more than heretofore, for the reason that one registration now is sufficient to qualify a man for life so long as his stat us remains a a it is row, the law having been changed so that once a citizen is registered he is always registered provided he does not move or otherwise change his status. A strong sentiment has existed in favor of having a permanent registra tion and in response to this sentiment the last legislature passed a law mak ing legal the permanent registration o‘ voters. The citizens will, therefore, net hereafter be called upon to qualify themselves, and if they go ahead and between now and April 6 register ac errding to law, there will be no need ;.2 their doing so hereafter. A comparatively small proiiortion of voters have had their names put on !he registration books yet. This in ftgrt is due, perhaps, to the idea that tfy paying their taxes they have regis tered. This is not longer true. A voter, it, order to qualify himself, must in person apply to be registered before the registration commission or their deputies. A great many citizens, in fact nearly all, have now paid their taxes, and yet, unless they go abend and register, they will have nothing to do with and no power over the expenditure of the money which they have contributed to the expense o f government. Citizens of Bartow county, register now. Unless you have registered your self there is no one who can do it for you. See to it that you are a registere' l voter of Bartow county, and attend to it at once, otherwise, you lose your right to vote this year. By registering now you secure your right to vote al v ays. Many of the new houses are built by them. This week a farm was added to the list of their benefactions, and each dollar gathered regularly goe' back into First Mortgage Loans. $3.75 down and $2.50 paid each u onth thereon makes a subscription to five shares that will give the mem be; $500.00 cash at maturity. Ask for the plan. They have nc t icks or schemes, and the investo* finds great profit in his or her saving to the Building & Loan Association. CITY COMMISSIONERS NOW CONSIDERING SEWERAGE Officers and Citizens Look With Favor on Early Submission of Subject to a Vote of People for a Bond Issue. It is currently reported that the city commissioners are now engaged in the consideration of the sewerage question for Cartersville and that soon an elec tion will be called submitting to the people authority to issue bonds to provide for sewerage, a limited amount o! street work and the extension o? water mains. It is known that all the commission ers, are in favor of a bond issue for this purpose and that they regard this question as uppermost in importance The people themselves have been soliciting the commissioners to sub mit the matter and, in view of the past votes on the question, it is noi doubted that the proposition will car ry by a large majority. The commissioners have Eathereo’ a great deal of data and expert opin ions and are prepared to give the peo ple all needed information. The com missioners have already sought t. < opinion, also, of bond buyers and dea ers as to the most desirable and com n-.ercially valuable character of bond it is safe to say that when the matter is put again the commissioners will be prepared to meet all possible objec tions. It will be remembered that Carters v Die voted to issue SIIO,OOO in bond twice test year. Both these proposed iisues were to provide for sewerage extension of water mains and stree’ grading. Both carried by the requisite two-thrids number of votes but due t; technical omissions and non-com pi i ance with legal restraints both the* elections were declared nullities ano bonds were never issued. The sentiment of the people was as ceitained however. The commission ers now feel that they are bound to submit the question again and in prop er shape to be effective. The people are greatly interested i the question. The school grounds art poorly equipped to meet the needs r.nd hygienic requirements of the pu pils. Many sections of the city are ab solutely without drainage. Hundred of surface closets and cess pools mak health an uncertain element and since Cartersville wants to possess all mod ern conveniences and modes of safet; •lie sentiment Is nearly unanimous i favor of sewerage. AV.ith this work will be done a mt o, street grading and water mains wi be extended to meet the requirement of the outlying and uncardd portion, of the city. The commissioners hope to be read, to submit the matter in a few days agcl ere long the citizens will be cal! eu upon to show their interest in tin town’s welfare and future. The citizens of Cartersville are be coming very much interested in secur ing another opportunity to vote bond: for sewerage and the commissioners are being imi>ortuned to present this matter again to the pieople for their approval or rejection. # A reporter of The Tribune in a casual tour around the business portions of the city a few days -ago interviewed a number of cit izens upon the question of sewerage and obtained from them voluntary ex pressions of sentiment which were more or less emphatic, and The Trib une was unable to find anyone who was opjxised to sewerage, but on the contrary, all were heartily in favor’ cf the city immediately undertaking this improvement. Mr. J. W. Vaughan when seen said: “Yes, I am heartily in favor of sew erage, permanent street improvement and an issue of bonds to take up the work at once. “Why wait? Let us progress with ether communities. TWO SMALL FIRES. Two fire alarms were turned in dur ing the past week which were prompt ly answered by the fire department. Last Sunday morning fire was dis covered in the stable belonging to Air. W. T. Pittard on Railroad street. The barn was completely destroyed and Fishing around for public approv al has been the curse for more- than twenty years. As the fussy kick of some individual sounds so much loud er than the silent approval of the ma jority, many officials are afraid to define a plan of permanency and say to the kickers, ‘go to thunder, while tne responsibility is upon me and 1 draw pay from the treasury, there is much to do, and I’ll lose no time in adding some permanency to my city.* ’There is no time to listen to kicks. ’Ae want men to plan, secure an ex pert, possess the backbone to invest tb dollar now in ways that will prove everlasting and a monument to the nilieials. Enough dirt has been hauled mid spread upon our streets and stde v. a Iks for the last quarter of a century to grade and pave our central thor oughfares. Let’s be united, and vote again as we did twice last year, to aud w'hat Cartersville so sorely needs street grades and sewerage.” I)r. Eelton, when asked his opinion, slated: I am most heartily in favor of sow eiage for Cartersville and want the city commissioners to do something for the town along this line. I favor r bond issue to get sewerage.” Mr. C. L. Collins favors sewerage > nd stated: 'I think the city commissioners should submit the question of a bond issue for sewerage to the people of Cartersville. We have showed that we want it.” Mr. E. W. Robinson stated: “1 voted for sewerage twice before and I am ready and want to vote for it again. I know of nothing more im portant to us.” Mr. H. P. Womelsdorf answered: *‘l do not understand why the sew erage question is not put up to the | reople again. We have votod for U 'wice and I believe we are more united I for it now than ever.” Mr. W. H. Field said: Cartersville should have a system o! sanitary sewerage and bonds: -should be issued to secure it. I favor | ir and will vote for it.” Air. L. P. Lewis expressed his views! as follows: “If the city commissioners want tsk c’o something for Cartersville they should take up the sewerage question at once and give the people a chance t.e vote on it.” Mr. J. J. Hill was very emphatically i:i favor of sewerage and stated: “The school houses and grounds art’ a disgrace to Cartersville due to tht lack of sewerage. I will vote for bond? i tor sewerage any day it is put up te ji hr D l Mr. B. L. Vaughan when seen said j | “Nearly every business man I knovj voted for sewerage before and as fajj as I know will do so again. We neetj it worse than iwa did last year.” Air. W. C. Dodgen was for sewerage and stated: ‘ You can put me down for bond ter sewerage. Progress and health 1 and ;mand this improvement and oit city officials should be among thj first to recognize it.” Air. E. D. Cole when talking on thi subject said: Si II “Yes, we -must have sewerage and the city commissioners want an ej • I ression of the people upon it let the; ; rut the matter up to the people ar-, they will find out how they stand.”; > Mr. A. V. Neal said: “If we don’t do something along thi,. line we will die of dry rot. Yes, U. course I favor sewerage and I favorj bond issue to get it.” Mr. J. W. Knight said in part: “Yes, I favor sewerage and bonj to get it. Put it up and it will carry- with it a horse belonging to Mr. I tard was lost. A blaze in the home occupied Mr. Underwood, conductor on Seaboard Air Line Railroad and ing on Irwin street, was of short c ation after the department read, the scene.
