® POM SHOW
AT THE HIR
\ Splendid Exhibit be
Made And All Should Be
Interested.
The committee having in charge
, K , poultry show of the county fair
' making big preparations to make
Uli , n,e leading feature of all the
‘ ‘jnhits. A number of the members
, i t!ie Bartow County Poultry As
n-iation have won prizes at various
; ni ,. s for the best exhibits made, and
have worked for a number of
vt , a rs to bring up their breed of
chickens and to cause people gener
jj v to take an interest in poultry
.culture.
II may not. be generally known
tha t poultry and poultry produces
in the United States have a greater
value than cotton, and when we are
raising cotton we should devote
some attention to poultry. The total
value of poultry and poultry ,pro
slucts in the United States has been
estimated at approximately nine
hundred and fifty million dollars
per annum, whereas the total value
~f cotton is at least a hundred mil
lion less, and poultry is raised
on eighty-eight- per cent of the farms
and in all cities and towns.
Asa product, therefore, it has a
very important place in any fair or
exhibition and no fair is complete
without a poultry exhibit for every
body is interested. It has been dem
onstrated that one variety is better
than a mixed breed of chibkens and
costs no more to maintain, and the
effort: of the fancier is simply to im
prove the breed. The poultry depart
ment will be conducted for the ben
efit of the breeders and upbuilders
of the poultry industry in this sec
tion. It will be the endeavor to
make if an exhibit for the genera!
advancement of the poultry indus
try and a prize won at this show
classes the birds as among the best
in the state.
The class of birds had on exhibi
tion last year won general praise
and some of them have since taken
first prizes at some of the biggest
poultry shows in the country, there
fore making a place for Bartow
rounty in the poultry world. It will
pay any man interested in the high
cost of living to attend the chicken
show and get a line on the best
grade of birds.
This department last year was un
doubtedly the best exhibit connect
ed with the fair and a magnificent
display of poultry was exhibited in
o splendid building with nice new
eoyps, everything classified and well
arranged. It was a big advertisement
*od effected many sales during the
past season. It is here that one is put
in touch with the buyers.
The department wants everyone
with them this year and to make the
show greater than ever before.

THE BARTOW TRIBUNE
RESERVOIR HILL
BEII BEAUTIFIED
City Forces Leveling The
Crest And Walks And
Drives To Be Laid Out.
l'he city commissioners of Car
tersville are doing a work at the
reservoir which is adding very much
to the attractiveness of this place.
The high banks which were piled
up as a result of the excavation for
the reservoir are being brought to
a level and flush with the top of the
concrete work around the reservoir.
A great deal of material was taken
out of this place and piled up along
the sides of the reservoir proper
and the purpose of the commission
ers is to level this off. make a nice
driveway around the reservoir and
erect a fence within fifteen feet of
the basin so that trespassers will
not encroach too close to the basin.
When the material is leveled off,
grass, walks and driveways will be
laid, all of which will make this a
very at ractive resort and park for
(he citizens and strangers who visit
it.
The street force has been employ
ed with plows and road scrapes for
something like ten days now and it
will perhaps take ten days or two
weeks longer to finish up. The work
has already added very materially to
the beauty of the spot, and, as the
city owns some fifteen acres around
the reservoir proper, it will be the
ultimate purpose to secure some
time a landscape plan whereby an
up-to-date park can be established
and maintained.
JOS. S. CALHOUN WINS
TATE SPRINGS GOLF COP
The friends of Mr. Joseph S. Cal
houn are congratulating him upon
being the successful contender in
the golf tournament lately held a'
Tate Springs, Tenn., in which his
proficiency and skill was rewarded
by winning a silver loving cup
which he lias brought home with
him as a trophy and proudly exhib
its to his friends. The golfers of
j Cartersville are specially enthusias
tic over the fact that one of their
! number, playing against some of the
best golfers in the south now en
! joying a vacation at this popular re
port, should carry off the honors and
I the rewards ol' good golf playing.
| Mr. Calhoun and Mr. H. I*. Wo
jmelsdorf journeyed to Tate Springs
about three weeks ago, going
'through (.he country in Mr. Cal
houn’s car. They found that one of
‘the interesting features of this re
port was a golf course and that
I among the guests there was a large
number who were devotees of the
game. This has been so for a num
ber of years. This coincided exactly
with Mr. Calhoun’s and Mr. Womels
dorf’s desires as they are very fond
of the game and as evidence of the
j fact Mr. Calhoun bore off the hon
!ors.
The golf course at Tate is a pecu
liar one and has upon it. many haz
ards, and it requires some very ac
curate and skilful playing to keep
from losing ground. However, Mr.
Calhoun seems to have thoroughly
mastered the course, and all his as
sociates in the game, and his host
of friendsvin Cartersville are justly
jubilant over his conquest.

CARTERSVILLE, GA., SEPTEMBER 1?, 1914,
RURGLARS ENTER
SUL DOMES
Money And Jewelry Taken
By House Thieves Tues
day Night.
A number of burglaries were com
mitted Tuesday night in Cartersville
in which the burglars secured var
ious small sums of monev and jew
elry.
'Hu- home of Mr. It. T. (iriflin win
i ntered, and. going into his bedroom,
the burglars secured about forty
dollars in money and a watch chain
hut left the watch and replaced il
in his pocket. Mr. Griffin also had
some notes and papers of value, one
of the notes being found afterwards
on the sidewalk near the residency
The home of Rev. W. '!’. tlunni
cutt was also entered and a valuable
watch was taken and his pocket
book examined from which a one
dollar bill was extracted and the
pocket book then replaced in his
pocket.
They also entered the home of W.
A. Leake and there refreshed them
selves with milk and a meal, but Mr.
Leake had only three dollars on his
person which they took.
The work appears to have been
done by experienced burglars as in
no instance was any noise or sound
made which alarmed the occupants
of the houses entered. The work was
also done in a very careful and de
liberate manner and both the en
trance in the houses as well as the
exits made were done in a very dex
terous and skilful way.
The police and constabulary have
not yet found any clue but are vig
orously watching for any evidence
that mav lead to arrests.
LADD LIME COMPANY
SET BIG BLAST
The Ladd Lime & Stone Company
made -a ehot Tucson; aftornou i t
their quarry in which there was
used perhaps more explosives and
brought down fore material than
was ever before made by any in
dustry in Bartow county. In order
to supply their great crushers with
material sufficient to keep them
running to full capacity it was de
cided to sink six holes from fifty to
sixty feet deep with a five-inch
drill. Into these holes was placed
3,500 pounds of dynamite.
Ascertaining that such a shot was
to he put off, a great number of Car
tersville people journeyed to the
scene to see and to witness the ef
fect. Automobile parties containing
both men and women journeyed to
the vicinity of the plant but were
careful not to get too'close. A great
many being three-quarters oi a
mile distant still felt themselves un
safe until after the shot was made.
More than a hundred spectators as
well as the enlire force of labor and
employees of the Ladd Lime A
Stone Company witnessed the blast.
It was set off by an electric battery,
the six holes being connected by a
wire. Just at four o’clock the elec
tricity was applied and all six holes
were exploded simultaneously. A
vast quantity of stone was brought
down hut the amount of explosives
used was well calculated as the ma
terial simply dropped off the banks
and was not thrown any distance.
No part of the buildings or machin
ery was injured by boulders or
debris.
The Dupont Powder Company
managed the shot and were reason
ably well satisfied with results. II
requires some knowledge, however,
of local conditions in order lo ob
tain the best results, and the powder
people claim that hereafter the
same amount or more explosives can
he used with yet better results.
Upon the whole, however, it was
|a great shot for those who witness
jed it and a very satisfactory shot
'from the standpoint of the Ladd
Lime & Stone Company.
This company is now running at
full capacity and is getting out a
I great amount of material and is one
I industry w hich is employing a full
quota of men and using a big pay
j roll.
Their plant is one of the best de
vised ones ever put up in the south
and is in successful operation.
GRANTED DHL
DEFENDANTS RELEASED
iWeston Jones And J. W.
Tinsley Placed Under
| Bond Of SIO,OOO Each.
Deriding an application for a writ
of habeas corpus, Judge A. W. Fite
on Tuesday afternoon released Wes
ton H. Jones and J. W. Tinsely from ;
tustodj conditioned upon them giv
ing a bond for ten thousand dollars
each.
The hearing was had in the grand
jury room at the cour; house and
rrpresenteing the state was Solici
tor-general Sam R. Maddox and F.
W. Copeland, of Rome, while the de
fendants were represented by Hie
firms of Neel & Neel, of Cartersville,
I. F. Mundy, of Rock-mart and Mark
Eubanks, of Rome. Many affadav
i;s were presented tending to show
that the justification for the shoot
ing and killing of Dr. Landrum by
the defendants was based upon al
leged insults offered Mrs. Jones by
Dr. Landrum, Mrs. Jones being also
the sister of Mr. Tinsley; alleged
threats made upon the life of Mrs.
Jones. Mr. Jones and Mr. Tinsley by
Dr. Landrum previous to the killing*
and the slowing up of the auto-mo
bile in which Dr. Landrum met his
death in front of the house of Mr.
Junes and the man with him stepp
ing out or in the art of stepping out
of the machine when Jones and
Tinsle> fired and killed Dr. Land
rum.
The affidavits showed that Mr.
Jones, believing himself to be in dan
ger of attack from l)r. Landrum, ap
plied to Judge J. M. Dorsey, of lay
lorsville, for relief and advice, that
Judge Dorsey informed him that tie
could swear out a peace warrant
and have Dr. Landrum also arrested
for shooting on his premises and
further advised him that he could
consult Judge Fite. That Mr. Jones
did consult Judge File was shown
by a letter pul in evidence from
Judge Fite to Judge Dorsey in which
was recited the fact that Mr. Jones
had applied to Judge Fite and thai
he advised him that he could swear
out a peace warrant against him and
for shooting between daylight and
dark. Mr. Jones, however, did not
take this out but had complained to
the Masonic lodge and Dr. Landrum
was about to he tried upon charges
made by Mr. Jones in the Masonic
lodge.
It was brought out from the af
lidaxits presented by the slate that
the machine driven by Dr Land
rum, accompanied by Mr. Cothran,
of Alabama, was, when passing the
home of Mr. Jones, going at a rate
of speed of about four miles an hour
and Mr. Cothran made affadavit that
Dr. Landrum was on a professional
call wliich, when made;, he intended
to' take Mr. Cothran to Roikmart
where the latter was to catch a train.
The affidavits bf the defendants
were that Mr. Jones fired twice be
fore Mr. Tinsley ever fired and that
Landrum was killed by Jones under
the belief that Dr. Landrum was
coming to the place to make an at
tack; that they had been put to the
necessity of spending two or more
nights at. the home of Mr. Tinsley
fearing an attack upon the place
and that threats having been made
by Dr. Landrum over tin* telephom
that he would’at a certain time at
tack the home and, the family leav
ing it and returning the next morn
ing, found the place to be attacked,
windows broken out and some
shooting done. The witness Cothran
in his affidavit claimed that he was
surprised at the shooting* and ilia 1
Dr. Landrum at once stated that he
was shot and that upon Cothran get
ting out of the machine he was ask
ed by Mr. Tinsley if tie wanted to
take it up, and, replying that he did
not and knew nothing about the dif
ficulty and had had nothing to do
with it, Tinsley told him to get on.
During the course of the trial P
was slated by Attorney Copeland
that Mr. Cothran’s wounds have de
veloped blood poisoning and that lie
is at present in a very serious con
dition and unable to attend court

REV. GEO. F. BROWN 13
TIE COURSE OF STUDY
Hev. George F. Brown, pastor of
the Second Baptist church, leaves
Monday for Louisville, Ky., where
he will enter the Baptist seminary
at chat place to take the eight
months’ course in bible study and
theology. In order to secure ttii s
course, Mr. Brown tendered his res
ignation to the church and no pro
vision has yet been made to fill the
vacancy. It is tin* desire of the
church to fill it temporarily only,
merely to cover the term of Mr.
Brown's absence and then recall him.
While the many friends of Mr.
Brown of his own denomination, as
well as his host of friends in all the
other churches, regret to lost* him
for any period of lime, at the samt
time, they extend their congratula
tions and good wishes and are con
tent to live in hope that he will b ■
all the better prepared to return I. >
us at the end of his course in col
lege.
Mr. Brown has been a wonderfully
successful pastor, and both as a pas
tor and pulpit, orator he is greatly
beloxed and highly appreciated by
his congregation. Through his ef
forts possibly there lias been 125 ac
cessions to the church, and this rec
ord stands as perhaps the lust ever
made in Cartersville in many years
by any local pastor. These members
entered the church through exper
ience and as a result of the efforts
of Mr. Brown inspired by the cans* 1
and Savior which he so well serves.
and hence his affidavit had to be
taken.
After hearing all the affidavits
read and arguments of council,
Judge Fite ordered Ihe defendants
to be released subject Lo their ex
ecution of a bond for ten' thousand,
dollars each to secure their pres
ence at the next term of the super
ior court to be held in January.
AUTOMOBILE WRECKED
AT 41 MILE GROSSING
Car Belonging To C. A.
Stoner, Who Jumps, Ran
Into by L & N.Passenger.
Forty-one mile post again regis
tered an accident from collision of
a locomotive and an automobile
Mondav evening but in lhi> particu
lar instance lie sole occupant on the
car escaped death by jumping for
ward over the wind shield of his
automobile and landed safely on the
other side of the railroad track when
the L. A X. passenger, southbound
from Cincinnati, caught the automo
bile and literally tore it to pieces.
Mr. Stoner was driving a four
passenger Buiek to Marietta where
he had a business engagement. Ap
proaching forty-one mile pos! cross
ing, lie stopped and listened but, the
wind being somewhat high, he fail
ed to hear the approach of tin* train,
and, as this particular locomotive
had not yet been installed with elec
tric headlights, there was no re
flection which warned him of his
danger. He thereupon started on
when he saw the train bearing down
upon him and running very rapidly.
Seeing that he had no chance ex
cept by jumping, In* leaped over the
wind shield of his car, landed on the
hood and rolled to the ground with
in two feet of the railroad track,
when the locomotive just at (tiis
.moment caught his machine carry
ing it on and completely destroying
it. The train was stopped and Mr.
Stoner taken up when In* was found
not to he seriously injured. It was
a very narrow escape and that Mr.
Stoner’s life was preserved is due
entirely to his foresight in leaping
out of the machine when l/e did.
This crossing is becoming a night
mare to all who have to go over it.
The great number of trains, both
passenger ami - freight, which use
Hie* Western A Atlantic rails be
tween Cartersville and Atlanta ne
cessitates a train in motion at this
point at all times of the day and
night and at any minute a train may
be passing over this crossing. It is
one where an approaching train
canno be seen any distance and if
there art* any interferences of an
elemental nature, one is simply
compelled to assume the hazard and
risk of being destroyed at this place.
Within one week two machines have
been wrecked with three personal
injuries.
It is lioped that tin* county will
make haste in putting through the
proposed road which cuts out this
very dangerous crossing. It is to be
regretted that former boards have
not seen lit to do so before as of all
the crossings in the county this
holds the record as being the most
dangerous man trap of any.
CONVENTION AT CASSVILLE.
there will be a Sunday school
convention at Cassvilie the fourth
