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.

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.

REGISTRATION BOWS
ABOUT Til CLOSE
[Few Citizens Have Regis
tered and Many are About
to be Disfranchised.
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?

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

city officials should be among thj
first to recognize it.”

Mr. A. V. Neal said:
“If we don’t do something along thi,.
line we will die of dry rot. Yes, U.
