Cartersville People Have Found This
To Be True.
The strain of overwork tells on the
weakened kidneys. The hurry and
worry of business men, the heavy lift
ing and stooping of workmen, the wo
men’s household cares, tend to wear,
weaken and injure the kidneys until
they can no longer filter the poison
from the blood and the whole body

BARTOW COUNTY
POPULATION STUDY.
In 1910, the census year, the popula
tion of Bartow county was 25,388 of
which 75% are white and 25% color
ed. Between 1900 and 1910 the total
gain in population was 4,565 or 21.9%.
During this period the whites Increas
ed 30% and the negroes increased
2.6%.
Population by Districts.
This 4,565 gain is distributed among
the districts as follows:
Allatoona district 29 or 3.7%.
Cartersville district (rural) 1,200 or
40.8%.
Cartersville district (city) 932 or
29%.
Pine Log district 507 or 35.7%.
Cassville district 301 or 16%.
Euharlee district 289 or 17%.
Adairsville district (rural) 160 or
9.8%.
Adairsville district (city) 135 or
22%.
Sixth district 7 or .6%.
Kingston district (rural) 162 or
14%.
Kingston district (city) 10 or 1.9%.
Wolf Pen district 373 or 42.9%.
Emerson district (rural) 239 or
36.1%.
Emerson district (city) 205 or
18.4%.
Iron Hill district 76 or 12.7%.
Taylorsville district (rural) 40 or
3.3%.
Taylorsville district (city) 58 or
41%.
Stamp Creek district actually lost
45 people during this 10 year period.
Population, Rural and Urban.
Rural population increased 71% and
urban 29%. However the mill town of
Atco is included in the rural popula
tion. These figures refute the state
ment that the moving from country
to town are out of proportion with the
increase with population.
Normal Gain.
The normal gain for any county or
state due to birth rate in excess of
the death rate is 15%. The county has
only held its own and gained 7%. No
tice how many districts have not had
normal increases.
Districts Compared 1890 to 1910.
During the period from 1890 to
the county only gained 207 in popula
tion. This stagnation period has cost
the county much.
If we had made our normal gain
in population we would have 27,264
instead of 25,388. This lack of normal
growth manifested itself in every
phase of the county’s life as the sub
sequent studies will show.
By districts some startling facts are
seen. Stamp Creek has lost steadily
for the past 20 years, losing 118 peo
ple. Iron Hill though showing a gain
of 76 for the last ten years is still 50
short of what she had in 1890. Wolf
Pen though showing a splendid gain
for the past 10 years, 373, she has
only gained 225 for the 20 year per
iod. The Sixth district has only gain
ed 78 in the past 20 years and only 7
of these in the lasit 10 years, less than
one a year. Kingston though gaining
172 in last ten years has only gained
58 in 20 years. The town of Kingston
actually lost 37 in the 20 years,
though gaining 10 in the last ten
years.
By these comparisons we find that
Cartersville (rural), Pine Log, Emer
son, Taylorsville and Wolf Pen show
large gains for the last census per
iod. That Euharlee, Kingston (rural)
and Cassville are barely holding their
own or just marking time. While Alla
toona, Adairsville (rural), Sixth, Iron
Hill and Stamp Creek are not holding
their ground and in some instances
are actually fighting a losing fight.
Why this status of affairs? The people
of Bartow county must face the facts
and answer why.
Partial Illiteracy.
The county has 5,848 males of vot
ing age, white 4,379, negroes 1,469.
The number of white voters register
ed in 1914 is 3,307.
Of the 4,379 white voters 726 are
illiterates or one out of every six. Of
the 1,469 negroes 587 are illiterates
or one out of every 2 1-2.
While the figures show' that illiter
acy is on the decrease yet w r e know
little progress can be made in any
community with 1-6 of the voters un
able to read the ballot they cast. We
•have eliminated the illiterate negro
form voting but what are we doing to
lift this cloud of illiteracy from our
white voters lives and open an avenue
to them for genuine service as a citi
zen?
Density of Population.
In 1900 Bartow- had 44.2 people to
the square mile but in 1910 she had
53.9 an increase of 22%.
