LIE BARTOW TRIBUNE
COMMISSIONERS 10
PURCHASE MACHINES!
Tests Being Made of High
Power Engine and Mod
ern Plows and Scrapes.
The county commissioners Monday
and Tuesday gave a tryout to the road
working machine recently unloaded
in Cartersville and placed it on the
Tennessee road where it did effective
work. With the aid of an engine of
seventy-five horse power, the plows
were pulled through the road and all
the large stones were upturned. Pull
ing also the scrapes, the road was ma
terially widened and much of the sur
plus material in the road was dumped
to one side to fill the ditches which
have cut large and deep gashes in the
roads along the sides.
Commissioners Baker, Adams, Brad
ford and Branson inspected the work
done by this machine, as did also quite
a number of the citizens of the county.
The commissioners carefully scrutin
ized the work done and gave to the
mechanism of the machines the clos
est kind of examination.
All who witnessed the work done
are enthusiastically favoring the pur
chase of this machinery. Citizens who
have watched the progress of the test
made feel-sure that the machinery is
alright, and that placed in the hands
of capable drivers, machinists and
foremen will be a great labor saver
and will in the course of time revolu
tionize road building in Bartow county.
More than forty-five of these ma
chines have been sold in Georgia and
two or three of the counties have du
plicated their orders for the same ma
chinery which is the best evidence
that it does satisfactory work. The
commissioners, however, are acting
with deliberation and prudence and it
is safe to say that if they make a pur
chase it will be after the most careful
investigation of the merits of the ma
chines.
A LETTER THAT MEANS MUCH.
From 300 miles this letter comes to
Caxtereville. As the kernel therein em
phasizes the step this young man is
taking, The Tribune publishes it as
an example, with hopes of encourage- j
ment to others.
The Cartersville Building & Loan As- ,
sociation,
Cartersville, Ga.
M.v dear sirs:
Enclosed you will find $5.00 for my
June dues. If T am not mistaken this
makes SIOO.OO I have paid in.
I am saving every I can. Have
a nice bank account here. Hoping you
are having a good business, I am.
Yours yery truly,
This young man is not a burden of
anxiety to his parents. Neither is he
a fashion sheet for society; but an
exponent of energy for those who is
sue to him the pay-roll check.
This suggests to us that the oppres
sive methods, so common now, must
be altered. The fad of buying .must be
changed into a system of prosperity.
Debts are made during “rosy days”
when all looks and feels well.
Installment purchases, such as a
piano at $lO per month, books at $2
per installment for two years, foreign
land lots at $5 monthly for half of a
decade, clothes and unnecessaries “cn
time,” while the daily or monthly earn
ings are turned loose without a saving
account. The installment practice, like
insurance, is carried to abuse, and
proving now the severe drain upon our
people.
Change this habit.
The Building & Loan Association
has placed in last thirty days over 200
shares of its installment stock for sav
ing, making an aggregate of ove.
$360,000.00 subscribed to its capital.
And with every dollar going into first
mortgage loans, upon which the prin
cipal is paid monthly, makes the in
vestment safe, and the company grow
stronger each month.
This week a farmer who got the
Association to pay far his land, said
“I am sorry I did not go into this long
ago.”
Every dollar placed with them earns
more dollars, making a certainty of
7to 8% you receive for your econ
omy and to the credit of the .borrower.
Over $100,000.00 assets and growing
stronger each month.

I^YOU,
Mr. Farmer of this community!
Have you any interest in this commu
nity in which you live? Does the town
which furnishes you a market place mean
anything to you?
When you Send your dollars to the

and what the merchants of this town do
do for this community ?
The man you are sending your dollars
to does not pay taxes in this county. He
does not help to build the roads, or sup
port the county government. He does
nothing that will make your acres of
more value.
JVhy not keep the dollars at home where
they will help you?
The community needs your help, and
you can help best by spending your dol
lars with the people who assist you in
making a better community in which
to live.
JVhy build roads for the mail-order mag

Will you think it over?
JUDGE NAT E. HARRIS MAKES
STRONG APPEAL TO BARTOW COUNTY.
Judge Nat E. Harris, of Macon, can
didate for governor, addressed the vot
ers of Bartow county at the court
house Monday morning. The coming
of Judge Etarris to Cartersville at this
time was not generally known to the
voters since the fact of his coming was
not made public until late Saturday
afternoon, but nevertheless the return
of Judge Harris to Bartow county,
where he once lived, in advocacy of
his claims for the governorship arous
ed a great deal of interest among cit
izens who knew him long ago and oth
ers who have since come to know him
as one of Georgia’s leading lawyers
and public men. Judge Harris was like
wise well known as a Confederate vet
eran, and many old soldiers most cor
dially greeted and welcomed him to
Cartersville.
After meeting a number of citizens
on his arrival in Cartersville, he was
conducted to the court house, and
Judge Moon, now' presiding over the
city court, adjourned the court in or
der that Judge Harris could make an
address.
Judge T. W. Milner was selected to
introduce the speaker and appropriate
ly referred to 3ome of the more imi>or
tant services rendered his state and
country by Judge Harris and earnestly
commended him to the voters as wor
thy of their confidence and entitled to
their votes.
When Judge Harris arose he was
met with enthusiastic applause and
proceeded to refer most appropriately
to the feeling of interest he possessed
in Bartow county since it was in this
county that he begun his career as a
hoy and received valuable instruction
from the late Dr. W. H. Felton. He
explained in sincere and earnest lan
guage his gratitude to all who were
kind to him in those day3 and particu
larly to the nurture and interest cf Dr.
and Mrs. Felton who equipped him to
enter college. AH these things, he said,
enabled him to be at perfect ease In
talking to citizens of Bartow county
and encouraged him to be perfectly
candid and enabled him to speak con
fidingly to our people concerning his
| aspirations and ambitions to serve the
I great state of Georgia in the gover
nor’s office. He referred to his service
in the legislature of Georgia at trying
| times in the history of the state when
: her fiscal affairs were in desperate
i condition, and reminded those who
I knew and informed those who did not
that as chairman of the committee on
1 Ways and Means he devised the plan
I for refunding the state debt at a time
when the credit of the state of Geor
gia was at n point where t could have
been lost forever or made.
His position on the question of leas
ing the Western & Atlantic railroad
was particularly pleasing to his audi
ence, as he came out squarely for tak
ing proper care of the counties through
whibh this railroad runs, which coun
ties are burdened with many expen
ses by reason of the road running
tbicugh them while getting no more
benefits than that of adl the other
counties in Georgia which are not
touched by the road and which do not
have to bear any of these burdens.
He referred to his interest in edu
cation and referred to that part of the
speech of Judge Milner wherein he
was given cerdit for drafting the law
which established the great Georgia
School of Technology at Atlanta. He
has been for many years a trustee of
the State University at Athens as well
as one of the trustees of the Georgiq
School of Technology.
Judge Harris’ speech was earnestly
delivered and the attention given his
address throughout was rapt and
thoughtful and the audience was able
to follow him through his statement
of all matters which he discussed.
The part of his speech which receiv
ed most thoughtful interest and atten
tion was that wherein he answered
the questions recently asked him
SURVEY FOR SEWERAGE
PROGRESS RAPiOL!
J. B. McCrary & Cos., with
Large Force, Covering the
City for Data.
j. B. MeCrao & Company,-employ- (
ed by the cily iO make a suivey auu
estimate of the sewerage ulcus of
Cartersville, are tulively engaged iu
making their caJcuiauons and a force
of engineers > seen m ttU putts
of the qity levels and fig
uring out details iuf a sewerage sys
tem. They jwill lately be engaged in
Uiia .work until July Ist,
As soon as the engineers make their
I report aud estimate the cost of a sew
erage system, the city commissioners
announce that they will call for a bond
election and ask the citizens of Car
ersville to authorize a bond issue suf
ficient to meet the costs of sewerage.
A large petition containing the
names of a great number of the most
responsible citizens of Cartersville h is
been presented to the commissioners
earnestly beseeching the board to pro
vide sew'erage, and it is in response to
this demand that the board is speed
ing the work as rapidly as possible,
it is the purpose of the board to as
certain definite figures as well as ac
curate information about where the
mains will be laid so that when the
question is presented they will In 1 able
to give the voter all the information
required. The commissioners have
gathered a lot of data and information
relating not only to the sewerage
needs of the city and the systems most
commended, hut have also been In cor
respondence with dealers in municipal
securities with the result that it is
probable that the character of bond3
to be adopted will be that which they
will be able, to maintain as the best
and most pra<tffi?a Me . .sue to be made
It is conceded that this is the one
great need of Cartersvile at this time
and there is a growing popular demand
for the installation of a sufficient sew
erage system. The McCrary Company
will probably make recommendations
also as to the disposals of sewerage
and their recommendations in this re
spect will be probably followed. The
topographical location of Cartersville
is such that possibly two or three out
falls will be necessary, in which cast
some scientific method of disposing
of sewerage will be required as to a
part of it as it is not probable that
land owners along creeks and running
streams will permit the sewerage from
Cartersville to be emptied into these
streams until treated.
Tt is the desire of the commissioners
to be able to submit this question to
the people some time in August and
it is hoped that the question will be
ready for disposition by August 19th,
the day on wdiich the state primaries
are held, at which time a large and
representative be secured.

questions.
ANSWERS W. J. HARRIS.
That I may not be deemed discourt
eous to my opponent who has singled
me out as the object of his fiercest at
tacks, I am willing to answer in a
brief way this once, the several ques
lions which he saw fit to propound in
the statement published on the 31st
ultirpo, to which I have referred.
1. He asks me whether 1 will deny
that in April 1912, after a visit to the
East I gave to the newspapers a care
fully prepared statement threatening
that if Governor Woodrow Wilson
should be nominated for president on
a platform w'hich was not entirely sat
isfactory to him, he, Judge Harris, and
others, would bolt the democratic noni
inat Eon v
I answer him, “Yes, I will deny
this.”
In the first place 1 did not visit the
East in April, unless a visit to East
Tennessee to meet the funeral train
of my cousin, Robert L. Taylor, can
be considered a visit to the East, and
I did not prepare a statement threaten
ing that if Governor Woodrow Wilson
should be nominated for president on
a platform which was not entirely sat
isfactory to me, I and others would
bolt the democratic nomination.
I suppose Mr. Harris refers in his

I iere,Dies in Birmingham
The many friends of Mr. Geo. ge H
Hall were sadened when th y recerv-.
v and nows that Mr. Hail had died sud
denly iu Birmingham), Ala., on mat
Saturday.
From information received front
Biiiui-pjkaui it was learned tuai Mr.
1 Hall had been auLieriug from imlama
tory rheumatism and the disease had
put him lh Tied but Ilis friends were
noi alarmed since Mr. Hail only com
plained of a pain in his arm which was
badly swollen. He was afterwards
,found dead in his bed, the supposi
tion being that the rheumatism attack
ed his heart and stopped its move
ment.
Mr. Hall was in Cartersvile up un
til about two weeks ago, having been
called here by the sad death of his
sister, Miss Jif 11a, who had died in
San Antonio, Texas, anul was buried
in Cartersville, the old family home.
Mr. Hall with his mother and sister,
Miss Mary, remained ii Cartersvil e
a number of days, he remaining some
few days after his mother and sister
left for their home in San Antonio.
During this time he met a great many
friends and this companionship, re
newed after ten years absence from
Cartersville, did much to cheer a sad
ened heart. When he left Cartersville
for Birmingham, every friend wished
him well and he promised to return as
soon as his business would permit
him to do so.
Mr. Hall was forty-seven years of
age. He was born and raised in Car
'tersville, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Hen
ry H. Hall. For many years he was ■
engaged in the hardware business and
left Cartersvilie about tea years ago.
Surviving him are his mother and sis
ter, Miss Mary Hall, of San Antonio,
Texas, and four brothers, Harry Hall,
of Albany; Frank Hall, of Atlanta
and Croswell and Fred Hall, of San
Antonio, Texas.
Mr. Hall was buried at Oak Hill cem
etery and the services were conducted
at the grave, Dr. G. L. L. Gordon of
ficiating. A large number of friends
were present at the last rites and the
Knights of Pythias lodge of Caiters
ville to which Mr. Hall belonged, at
tended in a body. The only near rela
tives present were Mr. and Mrs. Frank
'Hall, of Atlanta, all the other mem
bers could not attend in time for the
funeral.
CARTERSVILLE GETS
MORE CONTRACTS.
Each week the progress on the new
post office building has been such as
to make interesting reading for Car
tersvllTe citizens.
The excavation has been c- mpleted
and on Monday the contractor will
very probably begin pouring concrete
into the footings of the foundation.
In keeping with most government
work the excavation was dressed off
with a niceness and evenness until
the bottom looked as clean as a par
lor. One citizen passing and noticing
how smooth and level the basement
appeared asked Mr. Payne, who did
the excavation work, if he was going
to sand paper the job.
The contract for heating, plumbing
and gas piping was let to W. :C. Bums,
of Griffin, Ga.
The brick work contract was pulled
down by Cartersville’s well known
and efficient mason, W. R. Foster,
The contract for the crushed stone
was let to the Ladd Lime & Stone Cos.
It will be seen that Bartow county
continues to get a majority of the con
tract and it appears probable that our
people will not only secure a building
of costly and pretensious dimensions,
but we will also secure the money
which went in to construct the build
ing.
EMERSON SINGING.
Everybody is cordially invited to at
