VOL 4. ■IAL CONVENTION OF OEM COMM Mr, Word Returns From Convention and I ells of 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 Convention of the United Rexiall Com pany, in which he is a and to a representative of Trib _ une told about his good at . tending the meeting. Qf ReX a}) druggists. Mr. vvoru tbat were Run dreds o Rexa jj druggists in attend ancL and that the addresses of web ' jjme delivered by prominent city of ficials of Atlanta and the response miade by Louis K. Liggett, president tof tihe company, who took occasion to • outline his ideas for the future, were 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 tor trips through the city, a special style show, luncheons, teas, theater parties, etc. While the ladies were hav ing their good times socially, the men Tvhre consulting together about busi est) matters, giving their experiences ,' ithdir ideas as to how to extend, and , , ■ , . . ss, With the result that each busine. man took' aWiy something more than he brought 10 th * convention in the form of ideas > y hs <* he will here after govern his ‘business. 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 eral conducting their business with e ->t deal of waste. It was Mr. Lig uvttCin'ea that if the buying rower , "ucturing facilities of the and manin. & , , . , , sts could be combined leading drugg*. ~ ' be better service, the result woula , . , , , 4lt ’nd lower prides higher grade good** ■*. tor the public.

I .' bne man in each locality. In 1903 the business was confined to one building comprising only thirty thousand square feet of floor space. Today the United Drug Company owns and operates factories, mills, labora tories, warehouses and branches all over the United States, Canada and Great Britain, and requires more than 1.h04,000 square feet of floor space cr over 25 acres to supply the public with Rexall remedies; Liggefct’s Fen way and Saturday Candy, and Guth’s Chocolates; Harmony Perfumes and Toilet Articles; Symphony Lawn, I staco and Bokhara Stationery; Max imum, Monogram and American Beau ty Rubber Goods; Klenzo and Marque 'ite Tooth Brushes; Lriggatt’s Orange ade, Grape Juice and Fruit Syrups, etc. The company has a big candy fac tory in Boston and one in Baltimore, a ,r uit and syrup factory in Boston, and it contracts for -the entire product of many large stationery, cigar, brush and rubber goods factories'.

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 While in Cartersville, Mr. Stokes w.as the guest of his old friend and schoolmate, Herman L. Adams, and the two spent a Very pleasant day dwelling on reminisCeiifles in their career as boys and youlls hlen to ' gether. " . Mr. Stokes and family will very probably stop off again at Cartersville on their return from Cohutta Springs. ANNUAL SINGING NOTICE. The third Sunday in June is our M singing day at Floyd Creek amun - wo miles south of Stilesboro. church, t cort iially invited. We Everybody i- 0 f good singers will have a nui. among whom will with us on that day, -,q his quartett be Prof. A. R. Walton a. from Atlanta. lanta and Memphis, and supply dep in other cities.

In 1903 there were 40 stockholders. Today there are more than 7,000. Mr. Word stated that he had come home full of plans for a big campaign and that he -was going to give the peo ple of Cartersville such bargains In down-to-t:he-minute merchandise and such ahead-of-the-clock sendee as they never saw before, even in a Rexall store. 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 tion until m matter and then he act what was the - no trouble in get ed at once but *ied. ting the matter rectii. the govePn- 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 m ns 10 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.— Rome Tribun £ Herald. i *eel appearances it had voluntarily 1 ’ed to set the building back, hav w‘ room to do so, and would also v ■ public to use for street pur permit. t. vagl £ or t jj e present, the poses, at *- the curb line which four feet ou>m iig hU*l owner. it still claims os 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.
