CARTERSVILLE HOSPITAL
GAMS PUBLIC SUPPORT
Members D. A. R. Become
Active And Money And
Needed Articles Supplied
A Cartersville institution which
seems to be growing in public es
teem and the success of which ap
pears to be met with a growing ap
preciation is that of the hospital
conducted by Miss Sadie Williams.
For several years many public
spirited citizens, which includes the
physicians of Cartersville, have agi
tated the need of a hospital, and ef
forts have been made to organize
bodies at various times to put on
foot such an institution. There was
not sufficient public support, how
ever, in favor of these plans until
Miss Williams, herself a trained
nurse of unusual ability and bright
ness, took the matter in hand, and
upon her own initiative secured a
building, put into it her own sav
ings, equipped it for use and started
a hospital.
As great benefits resulting from
this course are beginning to be
known, the public is becoming very
much interested in it and there is a
growing sentiment that the hospital
facilities be increased.
Miss Williams has devoted her
most earnest efforts and ability to
the task of making the hospital a
useful institution, and that she has
done so to the extent of her ability
is admitted upon all sides.
More recently the society of the
Daughters of the American Revolu
tion have become interested, and on
Tuesday afternoon the ladies be
longing to this organization made
donations in various forms suitable
for the uses of the hospital.
One of the most substantial dona
tions made was that of Mr. L. S.
Munford who gave to Miss Williams,
through the influence of the D. A.
R., a bale of colton. Upon receipt of
this bale at the hospital, the Ameri
can Textile Company, through Mr.
John A. Miller, agreed to purchase
the bale at ten cents a pound. Thus
through this source more than fifty
dollars in money was realized which
goes directly to the aid of the hos
pital. In addition to this a number of
houesholdi and table comforts were
furnished by Mrs. W. M. MoCaffer
ty, Mrs. R. S. Munford, Mrs. Oscar
Peeples, Mrs. W. W. Young, Mrs.
John Stephens, Misses Lucia Hicks,
Maybelle and Elinor Jones, George
Augrey, W. P. Laramore, Mrs. L. S.
Munford and several others.
Asa result of an increasing senti
ment in favor of the hospital, both
the city and county governments are
being petitioned to aid in the proper
maintenance and care of the hos
pital, and as it is one of the func
tions of government that such in
stitutions ane maintained as public
charities, it is altogether probable
that a substantial appropriation of
a regular nature will be provided.
Chief among the champions of city
and county aid is Capt. J. J. Calhoun.
No institution in the county is
more deserving of public support
than this. Both from a standpoint of
service to the community and as a
matter of public accommodation,
our people cannot do better than to
place this institution upon a per
manent basis. Many who cannot af
ford expense of maintaining the pro
fessional care and skill furnished by
'a hospital can have their lives sav
ed through the public support of an
institution of this kind, and those on
the other hand who are able would
much rather pay an institution in
Cartersville for the service desired
than to be compelled to go to a dis
tant city or town to have their med
ical and surgical needs met. Tn other
words, the purpose is to keep our
sick at home and to treat them with
all the skill that they can meet with
elsewhere, and keep the money at
home that would otherwise be spent
abroad for the same purpose.
A CARD OF THANKS.
We wish to express thanks to our
neighbors, friends and nurse for the
kindness shown us during the sick
ness and death of our son and brot h
er, Charlie.

THE BARTOW TRIBUNE
A WORTHY EH
GROWING IN FAVOR
Dixie Theatre Remodeled
And Is Presenting A
Splendid Program Daily.
Cartersville is being favored by
the Dixie Theatre with a daily lisi
of splendid attractions, the equal of
which in point of cleanliness and
public interest and quality of pic
tures shown cannot be found in any
city however large.
Messrs. Could and White nave
shown themselves earnestly desir
ous of favoring the public with the
very best quality of pictures and
have displayed an ability and dis
crimination in selection which mer
its universal public patronage. No
where in the country can be found
shown at any theatre a series of pic
tures setting forth drama, historical
romance, current events and educa
tional information equal to that fur
nished the Dixie patrons in Carters
ville.
In addition to all this, the pro
prietors have shown a great desire
and ability to provide for the com
fort of their patrons. Their place on
Bank Block is conveniently located,
perfectly ventilated and arranged so
as to comply with tin* best rules of
hygiene. The seals are comfortable
and commodious and the rows are
sufficiently wide to admit of the en
trance and exit of patrons to any
seat in the row without discomfort
to ottiers on the same row. Lately
the electric piano has been moved
fioin the place occupied-by it just
behind the entrance, to the pit just
below the stage, and this change
has met with public favor. The ves
tibule lias been decorated with rare
plants so that the auditorium iias
not only been made comfortable but
if lias been made attractive from a
standpoint of beauty of arrange
ment and scheme.
The patrons of the theatre are al
ways assured that upon whatever
day they attend the best of pictures,
of pathos or comedy, history or in
formation, will be furnished, and an
hour’s entertainment is assured to
each and every attendant.
The pictures are costly ones. “The
Perils of Pauline” is one which re
quires the expenditure of thousands
of dollars to produce each week and
is popular throughout the pountry
to old and young alike.
“The Mutual Girl” brings upon the
screen some of the most prominent
of men and women in our country’s
affairs, and these are likewise very
costly and expensive pictures in
which it is apparent that no expense
is spared to make them first class
in every particular.
The Pathe News presents scenes
of current news in this and other
countries and stiows vivid likenesses
of some of the best known charac
ters in the world’s history of today
in science, letters, politics and bus
iness.
The war pictures are guaranteed
to be photographs of actual events
now taking place in the thrilling,
bloody combat in Europe, and these
enable the patrons of the theatre to
keep well abreast and to have a per
fect mental vision of how armies are
moved, what devastation is wrought
by battles and bow the leaders, sol
diers and war equipment play a
part.
Being an enterprise of such worth
and character, it is a pleasure to
comnlend the Dixie Theatre to the
people of the county.
An attraction coming oil is that of
Protea, which is an historical drama
presenting the efforts ol two nations
to enter into a treaty and the anx
iety of a third to learn the terms of
this treaty. To secure this informa
tion, the attractive adventuress,
Protea, is engaged. She undertakes
the task provided she can have the
assistance of a certain man who is at
the time serving a prison sentence
His release is ordered ami the pair
start out on their task. From this
point the spectator is carried
through a succession of thrills and
surprises, change of costume, rapid
and thrilling, and feafs of skill and
daring that keeps him gasping with
expectation. This picture will be
presented Wednesday, November 11.
On the 17th wdli be given another
installment of the Perils of Pauline.

GEORGIA STEEL CG.
LANDS LEASED TO HURT
Property To Be Improved
And Equipment Restored
And Made Efficient.
Of considerable interest to the
county from an industrial stand
point was the transfer this week to
the Georgia Iron & Goal Company
the lands, machinery and equipment
of the Georgia Steel Company by O.
T. Peeples, trustee in bankruptcy of
the Georgia Steel Company.
It will be remembered that this
property was placed in the court of
bankruptcy more than two years
ago, prior to which time it was one
of the active mining industries of
Bartow county and of Dade county,
Georgia. Since that time the proper
ty has not been in operation and
from non-use the machinery and
equipment has greatly deteriorated
in value.
The Georgia Iron & Coal Company,
desiring to restore the property and
to [tut it in a stale whereby it could
be operated, has undertaken to lease
from the trustee for a period of
three years, with the option to buy
at $400,000 at the end of such time
the entire property, paying the trus
tee a royalty sufficient, to meet the
expenses in taxes, insurance, etc.,
until the litigation over the proper
ty is finally determined by final de
cree. The litigation over this proper
ly is one of the fiercest fought ones
now being conducted through the
courts and it will likely take some
months or years yet before it wall be
ended.
In the meantime, the Georgia
Iron & Coal Company, of which Mr.
Joel Hurt, of Atlanta, is the ruling
spirit, will take charge of the lands
and tangible property, and tt is un
derstood that tie will put a portion
of it in operation with the prospect
in view that when times become
more normal of placing the entire
property in active operation. It will
he necessary to spend a great, deal
of money in order to bring the ma
chinery and equipment up to a state
of efficiency and this will be done
at once.
The business interests of Carters
ville and the county will be glad to
learn that upon this property will
soon be seen some signs of life as
its operation is an extensive feature
and developer of business.
