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. CARTERSVI L'-LE, OA., .JUNE IS, li)H WHY SEND OUR TRADE AWAY; 1Y SOT SEEP 000 MONEY ST 001?

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. through the press by Honorable W. J. Harris, of Gedartown, a rival candi date for governor. Below will be found in full Judge Harris' answers to these 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 (Continued on page ten.) SHUN SEAIH DF GEORGE H. HSU Popular Former Residen After Making Short Yisi : 1 :"Y> ‘ ‘ % 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.
