SOCIAL CLUB
HOLDS MEETING
Con&itution Adopted, Offi
cers Elected and Plans
Made to Go Ahead.
At a meeting held at the City Hall
on Friday afternoon a social club for
Cartersville was definitely formed and
organized.
The constitution adopted was of a
broad and comprehensive character
providing for the objects of the organ
ization to be officered by a president,
vice-president, secretary and treasurer
an d a board of governors of ten mem
bers into whose hands will fall the
responsibility for the successful hand
ling and managing of the purposes of
the club.
After the adoption of the constitu
tion the club proceeded to organize
by electing H. G. Cope president, H.
p Wontelsdorf vice-president, Victor
Waite secretary, and F. P. Hammond
treasurer. The board of governors
elected were J. S. Calhoun, W. H.
Field, 0. T. Peeples, W. C. Henson,
Pascal Flemister, Fred Knight, E. E.
Adair, Claude Brown, Ed Cole and
Wilbur J. Ham. The initiation fee was
fixed at ten dollars and annual dues
at eighteen dollars payable in quarter
ly installments in advance.
The club has under consideration
the purchase of a lot in a good neigh
borhood and erecting thereon a com
modious and nice club building to be
designed by an architect, with suffi
cient grounds for the erection of a
tennis court and other outdoor sports.
It is the purpose of the organization
to maintain a club against which there
can be urged no reasonable objection
and it will be one that will not only
be beneficial to the men of the city
and the strangers within our city, but
an attractive feature of Cartersville
life to which the wives and families !
of the members will be at all times |
welcome, and in which they can give
entertainments when they so desire.
It will also be an attractive improve
ment to the neighborhood in which it
is decided to locate.
All who are interested in the growth
and building up of Cartersville are
earnestly endeavoring to establish
this club, not only because of the value
of the opportunities for the men of
Cartersville to have a meeting place
at which they can come to a more com
plete knowledge of each other but to
discuss the interests of Cartersville
and, at the same time, be furnished
v'ith facilities to engage in light
amusement and social intercourse.
Such an organization can but be of
benefit to the men of Cartersville as
well as to the entire city and its suc
cess means a great deal for the things
which it hopes to accomplish.
If all who have signified their inten
tion of joining the club will promptly
?° to its support there is no question
but what it will be at once put upon
a firm basis and become a permanent
institution for good in Cartersville.

THE BARTOW TRIBUNE
ADVERTISED PROPERIV
FAILS 10 SELL
Because of Lack of a Bid
der the Georgia Steel Cos.
Property Remains Unsold
The Georgia Steel Company prop
erty which was advertised to be sold
on Tuesday still remains in the hands
of the trustee in bankruptcy, O. T.
Peeples, because of the lack of a bidder
for the property. The upset price for
the property hy the order of the court
was $500,000 and it is believed that this
sum would have been bid if certain
details had been more thoroughly
worked out by those who had contem
plated making a bid. The syndicate
who considered buying it did not pro
pose a bid on Tuesday. The matter is
again in consultation by the attorneys
for both sides and it is believed that
by June 15th some agreement will be
reached and details arranged whereby
this property can be sold by the trus
tee and put in operation. Those pres
ent at the court house where the prop
erty was to be bid off were: S. M.
Chambliss, of Chattanooga, represent
ing the Southern Steel Company and
one of the attorneys for the trustee;
Mr. A. R. Forsyth, of Birmingham,
treasurer of the Gulf States Steel
Company and formerly secretary and
treasurer of the Southern Steel Com
pany; .Messrs. Joel and George Hurt,
of Atlanta, and General Clifford Ander
son, representing the bondholders and
Georgia Iron & Coal Company. With
these Mr. Paul F. Akin, of Carters
ville, is interested as an attorney rep
resenting the trustee and a number of
creditors.
The failure to make a sale was a
disappointment to a large numebr of
citizens of White and that section of
the county in which so much of the
property of the Georgia Steel Company
is located, as well as to the commer
cial interests of Cartersville who are
anxious to see this property put on a
basis where it can be put in motion.
It is believed, however, that some plan
will be worked out within the next few
days whereby these hopes will be ful
ly realized.
$20,000.00 AND THE
AMOUNT INCREASES.
In the thirty days just past, over
$20,000.00 was subscribed to the May
issue of our local Loan Association.
The management informs The Tribune
they will for awhile extend the oppor
tunity.
With its wonderful growth and ac
cumulation of strength, the officers
tell us that the southern public do not
understand local building and loan
work, getting confused with the wild
cat institutions of thirty years back,
that used the name without right or
authority.
It is not a stock scheme.
It's community interest —
Working out a principle that is al
ready developing the most prosper
ous sections of the world, both in
spirit and in fact; teaching that great
essential, community co-operation.
The best help man ever got is to
help himself. That signboard of de
pending ui>on self is soon seen by a
wise public, and encouragement and
assistance comes.
If you are not helping your own, be
gin now. Whenever you can manage
yourself, you have demonstrated be
ing worthy of help, and the Loan As
sociation is an institution to urge and
assist.
i This installment stock, that has ac-
I cumulated so many hundreds for a
i vast number of Bartow county people,
j is issued only twice each year, and it
lis worth the interest and ownership
of every citizen.
So whether in the town or county,
send or write the Association, that
you want 2,5, 10 or 20 shares.
Assets over $100,000.00.
“Every dollar left with us earns
more dollars” is the motto.
7% to 8% is the answer for saving.

CARTERSVILLE, GA., JUNE 4, 1914
POPLILAB CARTERSVILLE
MERCHANT DIES
I
Sad Ending of a Life
Which Cartersville Had
Learned to Admire.
M. Steinberg, a popular and highly
esteemed merchant of Cartersville,
ended his own life Tuesday afternoon
by intentionally swallowing carbolic
acid.
When it was learned that Mr. Stein
berg had possibly taken poison the
people of Cartersville were loath to
believe that it was due to anything
but an accident. He was very much
esteemed by all who knew him and ap
parently took a philosophical view of
life and enjoyed it. It is said, however,
that he has not been well for some
time, and that being in this state of
health the falling off in the volume of
business done preyed on his mind and
caused him to grow very despondent.
Mr. Steinberg left his store, located
on the east side of the public square
for lunch, with his wife in charge of
the store. When he arrived home he
suggested to his daughter, Miss Pearl,
that they drink a bottle of Chero-Co’a
together, which was done. Immediate
ly afterward he directed his daughter
to call his wife and tell her to come
home at once. Miss Pearl wanted to
know if he was sick to which he made
an indifferent reply. She thereupon
called her mother and showed agita
tion in her talk over the phone which
caused Mrs. Steinberg to become
alarmed and to go in great haste to
her home. When Miss Pearl returned
to her father he was already uncon
scious, evidently having taken the
poison on his way home as it was as
certained by the nurse from the sani
tarium next door that he was suffer
ing from poison. She phoned to the
drug stores ana ascertained that he
had purchased carbolic acid on his way
home. Mr. Steinberg never displayed
consciousness after his wife’s arrival
and died surrounded by a loving and
sorrowful family at four o’clock. Miss
Miriam was in Atlanta 'and was phon
ed and arrived home at 6:30 after her
father’s death.
The entire city was overcome with
grief over the distressing results of
Mr. Steinberg's action. He was uni
versally esteemed as a man and citi
zen and in his business dealings was
upright and fair and scrupulous con
cerning his obligations. He had former
ly lived at Forsyth and at that place
knew Dr. and Mrs. Chamlee and these
became great friends whose friend
ship was renewed when Dr. and Mrs.
Chamlee came to Cartersville. Mrs.
Chamlee was at the Steinberg home
at the time of Mr. Steinberg’s death.
Mr. Steinberg was an Odd Fellow
and a Mason and contemplated attend
ing a meeting of the Masonic lodge
that night. He had been solicited to
do so because of some degree work in
which he was to take part.
The sympathies of the entire com
munity are extended to the family of
the deceased who have by their gentle
manners and social qualities earned
for themselves a warm place in the
hearts of all who knew 'hem. They
have lived in Cartersville but a few
years but in that time have establish
ed their right to be recognized as
worthy of the love and esteem in
which they were held.
Mr. Steinberg leaves a wife, two
daughters, Misses Miriam and Pearl,
and one son, Benjamen. He was buried
in Atlanta.
MRS. W. I. DAVIS
DIES AT EMERSON.
Mrs. W. I. Davis, widow of the late
W. I. Davis, at one time city marshal
of Cartersville, died at Emerson, Ga.,
last Monday morning.
Mrs. Davis was a dutiful and atten
tive wife and mother, a woman of
truly good Christian principles, and
who met all her responsibilities with
patience and forbearance. She was es
teemed as a neighbor, kind and
thoughtful as a friend, and her loss t ■>
the community is sadly felt by all who
knew her. Asa maiden she was Miss
Helen Darnell. She leaves three child
ren, Grady, Katie and Garland, who
are orphaned by her death.
The funeral services were held at
the Baptist church at Emerson, Rev.
George Brown officiating, and the re
mains were laid to rest at Emerson
cemetery.
EXCAVATION OF NEW
POST OFF®: FINISHED
Contract for Laying Brick
Will Be Awarded and
Work Will Soon Begin.
1 ™
The excavation for the new Carters-
I.
.ville post office is now finished and the
work of raising the building will soon
be under headway.
It will be remembered that the Car-
I tersville Brick Company was awarded
; the contract for the hard brick and
this week the superintendent for Jno.
W. Emery, contractor, Mr. G. W.
Sperry announced that the contract
for the supply of cement was awarded
to the Southern States Cement Cos., of
Aragon, Ga., just across the line of
Bartow county.
The contract for the structural
steel was awarded to Kemper Con
struction Cos., and within a few weeks
deliveries will begin to be made under
this contract. The hardware was let
to Henry Kiedel & Cos., Baltimore, and
gas and electric fixtures to Gas Fix
tures & Brass Cos., of Cleveland, Ohio.
Mr. Alfred Payne rapidly dispatched
the moving of dirt from the lot for
the basement. He put a sufficient num
ber of teams, scrapes, plows and men
at work to get through with it in short
order.
The dirt taken out also served to
help the city as a large quantity of i'
was used on the streets for fills while
another large quantity was purchased
by H. J. Jolly which he used for filling
in his home place on Market street.
FAMILY REUNION
HELD AT CASSVILLE.
An occasion of great interest to the
family of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Gaines,
of Cassville, took place Sunday, May
31, when all the children of this family
were present, some of whom came a
great distance.
It was the first time in five years
the family had been united and gather
ed together at the same table, and be
ing one in which the truly filial affec
tion prevailed, it was a peculiarly hap
py occasion.
Mr. and Mrs. Gaines are old resi
dents of Bartow county and have hosts
of friends throughout the county. Mrs.
Gaines was before her marriage Miss
Susie Kelley who lived with her fam
ily, who were esteemed for their up
rightness of character and substantial
citizenship, near Crow Springs. Mr.
Gaines likewise lived near Crow
Springs ami has always been an in
! fluential and worthy citizen of the
county, as was his brother, the late
W. P. Gaines.
Those present last Sunday were
Messrs. Henry Gaines and Frank
Gaines, of Atlanta, Mrs. Pressley and
her young son, Gaines, of Jasper, and
’ Mr. Hugh Gaines, of Eaton, Colo., as
well as the children who reside in
! this county.
The many friends of Mr. and Mrs.
! Gaines are congratulating them on
i having a family of five sons and five
daughters so worthy of the confidence
in which they are held by the people
where they live and who are so duti
ful to parents who have so carefully
and tenderly brought them to an ag<
.of responsibility.
STREET SPRINKLER
DOING GOOD WORK.
The city commissioners are being
commended on all sides for sprinkling
the streets.
In former years a street sprinkler
was bought but w'as only used for a
short time as the water supply for
Cartersville during the summer
months was so limited that it was not
thought expedient to endanger th*
needs of the city with reference to its
domestic use of water.
However, the situation is now' chang
ed. Cartersville has an unlimited sup
ply of filtered water and the street
sprinkler has therefore been pm in
motion and is serving a useful pur
pose in the business center and the
main residence streets of Carters
ville. The sprinkler itself har not suf
fered much from want of use. At first
it had to be calked a good deal, but as
it became saturated with moisture
this became unnecessary, so that now
it is an effective as when first bought.
In this connection it eau be said that
the people of Cartersville are more
BOARD OF EDUCATiGN
ELECTS TEACHERS
Old Teachers Who Applied
Are Re-elected and Va
cancies Are Filled.
The board of education of Carters
ville have elected teachers for the
scholastic term of 1914-15 and to the
extent that all the old teachers who
applied each were re-elected.
The list of teachers elected were as
follows:
Superintendent, H. L. Sewell.
Assistant superintendent and prin
cipal of West Side school, W. E.
Queener.
High school: Misses Lena Ford and
Lizabel Saxon.
Grammar grades West Side school:
Miss Eva Happoldt, Miss Florence
Rowan, Miss Lydia Jackson, Miss Sal
lie Heyward, Mrs. J. C. Milam, Mrs.
Ida Osment.
Principal East Side school, Miss
Pearl Goodwin.
Grammar grades: Miss Leila Gil
bert, Miss Sarah Rogan, Miss Jessie
Daves, Miss LaNeAle Moon.
The schools were found to be in a
satisfactory condition and the work
for the year ending .May 1914—was
among the best ever recorded.
The pupils and parents, as well as
the board of education, regret the
voluntary retirement of Misses Pope,
Gordon, Huckabee and Sams, who
were teachers introduced from a dis
tance and who lent to the schools the
value of methods of teaching and gen
eral information derived from systems
prevailing elsewhere.
In each instance these teachers were
offered opportunities to teach at
other places and were likewise as
sured that their places were secure in
Cartersville, but preferred for suffi
cient reasons to take other places.
The Cartersville schools, however,
by reason of these declinations and
the wisdom of the board of education,
will get the benefit o* the excellence
of teachers who have been selected to
fill these vacancies.
Miss Lena Ford is not only well
known socially to the people of Car
tersville but enjoys a reputation for
pedagogy not surpassed by any woman
in Georgia and her selection and ac
ceptance of the place has met with
universal approval, and the board was
congratulated upon being able to se
cure her services.
Miss Lizabvil Saxon has occupied
the position of teacher at Agnes Scots
and elsewhere and together with a
bright intellect, a genial personality,
the possesion of a wide range of in
formation and ability to impart know
ledge and command discipline, is
splendidly equipped to teach any
where, and C-artersville is therefore
fortunate in securing her services.
Miss Lydia Jackson has heretofore
held a teacher’s place in the Carters
vilie schools and more lately has been
teaching in the county schools. Her
interest in her work and the great de
sire to constantly improve her know
ledge of teaching has so fitted her as
to cause the board of education to earn
estly seek her services, which they se
cured, and the parents and children
of the city among whom she is so
well known and loved are greatly
pleased with her selection.
The selection of Miss Florence Row
an was ideasing to a host of friends,
not only because of her popularity
socially, but by reason of the fact that
she has had several years of experience
in teaching elsewhere, and brings to
the schools in Cartersville a bright
ness of intellect and mental equipment
which will be a decided addition to
an already capable force of teachers.
All the other teachers have honestly
earned and justly deserve the placer,
which they retain.
The board of education is seeking to
keep step with the most modern meth
ods of education, and with a superin
tendent and assistant superintendent
who are alive to the best interests of
the schools, and an excellent corps of
teachers everything indicates a sub
stantial advance in the progress of
public education in Cartersville.
contented and satisfied than they have
ever been before because of the as
surance that there is an unlimited
supply of water at their command. The
citizens are freely sprinkling their
lawns and flowers and the homes of
Cartersville appear better kept than
ever before.

FOSTER & SON INSTALL
PURE FOOD COUNTER.
Foster & Son have added to their
grocery department an improved de
vice for the care and keeping of arti
cles of common use and sale in the
grocery business and very properly
called a Pure Food Counter. All wJhd
are interested in what they eat and
the protection from contact with
germs, etc. of such things should cull
by and examine this counter.
This enterprising firm has made the
first purchase of a pure food counter
m Cartersville and already have it in
stalled and filled with good things for
the table. It has attracted a great deal
oi favorable attention and comment.
The face of the counter reveals what
is contained in the sections of the
counter by means of a glass covering
m front of each drawer section, in
this manner the purchaser can see
sugar, rice, coffee, grits, nuts and
fruits and such other articles as may
be contained in the counter. Upon
making a purchase the customer picks
out what he wants and the merchant
pulls it out by means of a sliding
drawer which opens on the inside of
the counter. These sections or drawers
are so flanged as to keep flying parti
cles of dirt and other so' tances from
getting into these articles and is al
most, if not, practically air tight.
This particular type pure food
counter has been adopted generally
by the up to date merchants through
out the country and has been accepted
by authorities as being the best ar
rangement yet devised to keep arti
cles in a grocery stock pure. While it
is quite an expensive pi-ee of equip
ment, it, at the same Gme, insures
the most hygienic protection of the ar
ticles put in it. .
The argument made in f.-.vor add
sustained by reason and experience is
that it is imp ssible f or dust to col
lect and fall upon the articles’incased
in the counter. The observer, standing
about in a grocery store, often sees
various people sitting in baskets con
taining various articles of use ©r
throwing things into beryls and ocher
receptacles commonly -mI and ex
posed to view. In addition the sweep
ings of store create a cloud of dust
and this dust and dirt falls upon ail
articles not covered. Thus the pure
food counter is a protv Mon against
such abuse and damage of a grocery
stock. Cigar stumps, peels and ether
things of like nature cannot be thrown
into a pure food counts and hence
the sugars, coffee and fruit ajid all
other things sold and kept in grocery
stocks in their natural late cannol
become contaminated while Kept in •*
pure food counter.
Pure food advocates uto , ersalty coaa
mend this counter and contend that all
grocery men should adopt It.
