Flans and Progress.
That even the proverbially over
worked druggist. Knows how to enjoy
a vacation when he gets the chance
is proved by the experience of M. U.
Word, the .well known local Rexa.ll
man. Mr. Word spent several days in
attendance upon the Twelfth Annual

Mr. vvoru tbat were Run

miade by Louis K. Liggett, president
tof tihe company, who took occasion to

all good speeches, happily delivered
and well received. Following the presi
dent, Treasurer Janies C. McCormick
told about the wonderful growth of
tshe Rexail Company.
' Mi. Word stated that what impress
ed him most about the convention,
next to its size, was the feeling of fel
lowship that existed everywhere. The
faot that he did not know the names
of hundreds of the druggists made n ■
difference. They all wore identifica
tion badges showing their name and
the town they came from, so introduc
tions were unnecessary. Mi 1 . Word
said that every druggist appeared tq
be h personal friend, and, in fact, they'
are all jointly interested in the suc
cess of the enterprise. Many of the
stockholders brought their wives and
•other members of their families, and
the entertainment program provided
features for the ladies, including mo

style show, luncheons, teas, theater
parties, etc. While the ladies were hav

The United Drug Company was
formed twelve years agw by Louis K.
Liggett, at a time when there was ab
solutely no co-operation among retail
druggists. They were making Lieii
own proprietary remedies in their
back shops, buying their goods in
yimall quantities at long prices, and in

M’CRARY COMPANY j
SKYING CITY!
When Estimate is Made
Authorities Will Call a
Bond ElecuC n -
The J. B. McCrary Company, of At
lanta, with a force of engineers, are
making a survey of Cartersville with a
view of devising a system of sewerage
for tlm clty .
The city contracted
sometime ago with the J. B. McCrary
Company to do this work and when
survey is made, maps and plans sub
mitted to the commissioners, it is the
purpose of the city authorities to then
obtain an estimate as to the cost of
the work and call upon the people of
Cartersville to authorize an issuance
of bonds for the purpose of making
this very much needed improvement.
The J. B. McCrary Company is a
capable engineering business which
perhaps operates more extensively
throughout the south than any other
engineering concern doing business in
the south. It no** only does a great deal
of enginee Jiitig work in €3rih£etion
with such improvements, but con
tracts also for (jhe construction of
these imprwemeo)tis4 with the result
that the J. B, MvCrary Company ha 3
constructed water works, p*wer plants
and sewerage systems in various cit
ies.
The preliminary work will be hast
ened with all dispatch in order that
thS estimates may be made and the
matter submitted to the people within
the next few weeks.
Practically all the people of Carters
ville are interested in securing sewer
age and the city commissioners are
constantly being beset with petitions
and requests to establish a sewei age
system, and moved by these various
manifestations on the part of the peo
pie, the city commissioners are earn
estly endeavoring to make this im
provement at the earliest, possible
date. w
W. STOKES AND FAMILY
SPEND DAY IN CITY.
Mr. W. Stokes, with his wife and
two children, passed through Carters
ville and other places in Bartow coun
ty during the past week on their way
to Cchutta Springs where the family
intends to take a rest of some ten
days or two weeks.
Mr. Stokes is a former resident of
Bartow county, having been bom and
raised near Folsom, Ga., and about ten
years ago went to Moultrie, taking a
position in the Citizens’ Bank at that
place. Mr. Stokes’ progress has been
steady until now he is the cashier of
this bank and a large owner of the
stock in this institution. .- 1

CARTERS VI LEE, GA., JUNE 1, 1914
CONGRESSMAN LEE
AND BJSI OFFICE
I Cartersville Citizens Assure
Mr. Lee of Appreciation
of His Services.
Congressman Gordon yvas in
Rome last Saturday in attendance up
on the meeting of the executive com
mittee of the 7th dls-
Tot. A number of Cartersville citi
zens also attended the meeting and
these gave Mr. Lee assurances of their
appreciation of his services in getting
the postoffice building set back so as
to be in line with all other improve
ments on the east side of Erwin street
except the First National Bank build
lnS- ", ** -XU ’t'lf .gr
Mr, Lee told his Cartersville admir
ers that it was such an easy matter
for him to get it straightened out in
Washington that he was loath to claim
much credit-for doing what was done.
He stated that when he heard from
the city officials, and from them learn
ed the nature of the difficulty, he at
once went to the office of the super
vising architect in Washington and
laid the matter 'before him. The ar
chitect said he would at once send a
representative to Cartersville to look
into it, which he did. Thereupon Mr.
Guerry was dispatched to Cartersville.
It will be remembered that Mr. Guerry
while here consulted with the city of
ficials, and Postmaster Akerman, and
after taking a view of the premises
recommended to the authorities at
Washington that the government set
the building back, although the govern
ment was well within its rights so far
as the title to the four feet in ques
tion was concerned.
Thereupon the supervising archi
tect at Washington proceeded to have
the plans altered to the extent of hav
ing the building set back six feet and
the curb line four feet. These plans,
as altered, were then sent to Mr. Per
ry, superintendent of construction in
this district at Atlanta.
TjTitt plans had already been altered
and ordered forwarded to Mr. Perry
when some sort qf an injunction
was presented to Judge Wright,
ROfflt fqr K n ? r( ,l er Thd hence, when
filed, and P erry notified, he was
able to inform the peti
tioner that he had plans in his office
which met the situation and had or
dered the contractor to proceed with
the work of excavating in harmony
with the altered plans.
When thus informed the bill was
withdrawn and the question of title
to the strip of land is yet just where
it has always been. Just what the city ;
will now do with the adjacent proper
ty on Erwin street beyond the govern- j
tnent property is not known but it is
probable that steps will be taken to
get the street widened beyond eo that
the curb line and any future improve
ments will be in line w r ith the post
office building. It is not probable that
the city will have much trouble ill
evening up the street beyond the post !
office.
It will thus be seen that the city of
ficials took the only practicle and ef
fective method of getting the contro
versy adjusted and they did this by
appealing direct to Mr. Lee, who is !n
touch with the situation at all times.
In other words the building was order
ed set back by the governni< nt author
ities two feet more than any one was
asking for and before the officials hav
ing control of the plans knew' that any
sort of a suit had been filed in Geor
gia.
Mr. Lee was assured that all Car
tersville deeply appreciated not only
his efforts to get the building for us
but also to get it now and particularly
his success in getting the building set
back and the curb line changed.
Mr. Lee said he w r ould have done
what he did do for any one of his con-
'ents had he been appealed to but
stitu not know fully the situa
that he ->formed by city authorities

Mr. Lee explained tha -'ll thfiig-d
ment was not small about sik
and that its jxolicy was to i
improvements in harmony with ottu
improvements in the immediate vici
nity although it could, if it desired,
use all the land it had purchased or
owned in any matter it saw fit. He
stated that the government was not
ceding the four feet to anybody but
to meet the best rules of harmony in

RESERVOIR HILL
City Authorities Are Urged
to Make Park of Acreage
Around Reservoir.
Practically every visitor to the ret- j
ervqir inquires to know why the
authorities do not take tQ ’ b; au . j
| tify this attractive spot.
There are more visitors to the res
' qrvoir than to any other point of in
] terest about Cartersville. Ail througn
I the week carriage and automobile
! drives ore taken to this point, not on
ly for the purpose of witnessing the
iivmrmvßivseiit Usulf hut to Obtain a
view the equal of which is not to be
seen in North Georgia. A great many
others walk to the crest of tills hill,
and on Sundays it is safe to say that
froill three to four hundred people
make their .pilgrimage to the reser
voir. 1 ’ ’ w r ** "
All these want to see the city im
prove this place and the first work in
this connection would be to fill in
around the concrete walls which sur
round the reservoir proper. The walls
have stood a sufficient length of time
now to have ascertained that there
are no ol ' places in !t * 80
, * -'-'a could be
that the banks on each i>i U v
leveled off and a drive made all
around the basin even with the top of
the wall. This would be one step to
ward beautifying this place and per
haps the first one that should be tak
en, and it is hoped that the city com
missioners will order this work done
right away.
In addition to this the city owns
quite an acreage around the reservoir
which can be treated so as to become
an attractive park and to which a
great many more people would be
drawn.
The city authorities should not let
up on carrying out their original plans
made with reference to this 'property.
The people of Cartersville want, their
town beautified after substantial im
provements are made and since the
water works system has been com
pleted the City should go about to now
UCJp r CVe it from an aesthetic stand
point. ’
CHANGES OF RESIDENCE.
A number of well known residents
w'* 1 ! take of new homes
within the next te*," days ’ aH of which
speaks for the continual u J v,Jlli ldingof
Cartersville. \
The attractive cottage of Mr. and
Mrs. Frank Hammond and Mrs. Stella
O. Brumby is on the hill near the old
water tower, and for location and a
magnificent view is unsurpassed in
North Georgia.
Mr. and Mrs. Satterfield will occupy
temporarily the cottage formerly built
by Mr. Gresham, also on the hill, and
one of the most attractive locations
in town.
Mr. and Mis. Will Leake have taken
possession of the former Satterfield
place which they have purchased for
a home.
Mr. and Mrs. Bradley Howard are
having extensive improvements made
in their new home, on Erwin street,
before moving in.
TO MOVE FROM CARTERSVILLE.
The many friends of Mr. F. C. Me
Entyre will regret to learn that he
has sold his home on Main street and
will soon remove from Cartersville.
Since Mr. McEntyre has lived in Car
tersville he has made many friends
and these have become attached to
him and his good family. Mr. McEn
tyre will always be welcomed to Oar
tersville whenever he comes hereaf
ter to our city which we trust will be
frequent.
The friends of Harold Saxon, of Car
tersville, will be interested to know
that his name heads the list of D. V.
S. seniors this year at Emory, they be
ing the seven representative men in
the class. Mr. Saxon is well known in
Rome, where he has frequently visited
his relatives, the Warring Bests.—

GOOD RECORD DIE
01 REPRESENTATIVES
Messrs. Dodd and Cole Are
Being Urged to Run for
Re-Election.
As unle approaches for the
■ holding of a primary for the selection
of state officers, interest in Bantow
county is being drawn to the selection
of representatives and for these places
Representatives Warren A. Dodd and
E. D. Cole are being strongly urged in
petitions to run for re-eb s "^^
i ue record made by these two repre
sentatives In the Vast session of the
general assembly was such as to com
mend them to the voters of Bartow
oouaty as Worthy am. t*?! r oourse up "
on all questions met with general sat
isfaction in this county.
Messrs. Dodd and Cole made consid
erable state reputation and both were
influential advisors, and counselors in
all important matters undertaken by
the legislature. They occupied impor
tant committee places and were at
tentive to their duties, and, being suc
cessful business men, contributed
much in a constructive way to what
was done by the legislature.
From all quarters, and sections of
the county botli Mr. Dodd and Mr. Cole
—<st.ly urged to stand for re
are
election, and it is belie
they decide to run they would
no opposition. It is not known just how
the representatives themselves view
it, as they seem not to have expressed
themselves to anyone as to what their
intentions were. Both men have im
portant business matters on hand at
all times under their control and their
attendance upon the legislative ses
sions is a matter of a personal sacri
fice.
At the same time it is believed that
they will heed the strong call that is
being made upon them and consent to
make the race. If they do, it is safe to
say that they will both be returned to
the legislature at the August primary.
MISS SAXON READS
PAPER AT GRADUATION.
Due to the association of Miss kyda
Saxpy ’with the West-Eilis Hospital,
of Chattanooga, the following clipping
from the Chattanooga Times will be
read with interest by Miss Saxon’s
many friends in this county. •
The West-Eilis Hospital, of Chatta
nooga, is one of the best equipped and
-'ably managed institutions of its
Una in Ms section of the south and
the nurses who .L?® 1 ™ d,ploraas from
this institution are corrt>..’ ,onding * y as ’
Y'{\ fpo
well equipped to pursue their v
sion as any nurses graduating from
any other like institution in the south.
The following from the Times:
“Four nurses were graduated from
the West-Ellis hospital Thursday
night, after having received two years’
training there. The graduates are:
Mrs. Anna Gresham, Misses Eva Ful
ler, Zana Pucker and Nannie Farley.
During the exercises attending the
graduation of the nurses a local or
chestra furnished music; Mrs. A. S.
Dickey sung several solos; Dr. G. R.
West, and the Revs. J. W. Moore and
Francis T. Sullivan delivered address
es. Miss Lyda Saxon read a paper en
titled “Hooking Backward,” being a
history of the most Mnportant events
in connection with the class’ organiza
tion. Dr. William J. Hillas delivered a
number of presents sent by friends of
the graduates, and Mayor Thompson
awarded the diplomas, after an ad
dress to the class appropriate for the
occasion. The West-Ellis hospital was
decorated with roses, in which the
class colors, red and white, were car
ried out. A number of local physicians
and professional men attended the ex
ercises.”
MRS. CLEGHORN RECOVERING.
Mrs. C. Cleghorn is rapidly recover
ing from a slight operation, performed
in Chattanooga last week, and is ex
pected to be able to leave the hospital
some time next week. —Summerville
correspondent in Chattanooga Times.
The many friends of Mrs. Cleghorn
will regret to hear of her illness. Mrs.
Mary Knight has returned from a Visit
to her .laughter in Chattanooga and
was accompanied home by her grand
son, Master John Storey Cleghorn,
wiho will probably remain until Mrs.
Cleghorn comes for a stay wdth Mrs.
Knight, Miss Knight and Mrs. Leake.
