VOL 4. 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. EPISCOPAL CHURCH. Sunday, June 7, 1914, Trinity Sun day, at the Episcopal church there will be Holy communion with short talk at 11 a. m. All are welcome. G. L. L. GORDON, M. A. Rector. 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. JUNE TERM COURT 10 CONVENE HONDA! Judge J. M.

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. NO. 15
