S'llira JONES DIES
AFTER LONS ILLNESS
\ Boy of Unusual Qualities
Whose Death Is Deep
ly Mourned.
(lariuT Jones, only child of Mr.
, ,1 Mrs. 11. E. F. Jones, died Tues
tjjv at the home ol' his parents in
Cartersville.
just as the rays of light of a part
ing day had surrendered to the dark
lu.ss of the night, the soul of this
height and promising boy, whose
companionship had gladdened the
lives of all who were near and dear
: , him and whose promise but a few
viv ks age was bright with every
inspect, was given over to the an
„v|. who placed it among the stars,
there to shine until The Perfect
Day.
The news of his desperate illness
was given out Monday night. Early
the next day it was known through
out the city. Old and young alike,
all who knew him, were overcome
with sadness, for his nature was one
which drew love and admiration.
When death came and the sad an
laumcement was made, universal
sorrow prevailed and the loving
sympathy of an entire people was
expressed for his parents whose ev
ery endeavor had been to furnish
earner the needed equipment for a
life of usefulness.
earner Jones was taken sick about
five weeks before iris death, lie was
nl some three or lour days before
he gave up and went to bed. Not mi
ni he had fallen in a faint in the
hath room at his home did lie sur
render. At the time, his father was
in Birmingham making arrange
ments for the on-coming Bartow
rounly fair, upon whom was placed
so much of the responsibility for its
success. His mother was in New
fork on a visit to her sister. His ill
ness was kept away from both Mr.
and Mrs. Jones for sometime, and
after Mr. Jones returned to the city,
Mrs. Jones was not informed for
.-oinetime us Garner opposed it and
it was not thought that his condi
tion was serious. Finally, however,
information was conveyed to his
mother who came home at once and
has been with him constantly since.
It was ascertained about this time
that it was a case of typhoid. Ev
'■ry attention was given and he was
raced for throughout his illness by
a trained nurse and every possible
aid rendered that could be secured.
those who knew to what extent
the happiness of the parents was
wrapped up in the life of this hoy,
unuei stood and sympathized with
die father during the fair who was
engaged with a thousand details
connected with the conduct of this
public enterprise and hound to the
duty of driving in the races from
day to day hut saddened at all times
with the thought that liis hoy, who
himself was thoroughly interested
in the fair and had some plans and
business connections with it, was
taiahle to participate or enjoy it. In
the meantime, Garner appeared to

THE BARTOW TRIBUNE
SPLENDID MEETING
OF DOTS CORN CLUB
Biggest Yields and Finest
Quality of Product Re
ported.
The Bartow county boys’ corn
cluli met at the court house Wed
nesday, November 11, and on exhi
bition in the office of the superin
tendent of education, Mr. Henry
Milam, was some very fine examples
and specimens of what the boys
have been doing this year. Both as
to yield and as to quality of corn
displayed showed a marked im
provement over last year.
Addresses were made by Dr. Wil
liam Bradford, of Cedartown, the
corn club agent for the seventh con
gressional district, Hon. Gordon Lee
and Superintendent Milam.
Dr. Bradford stressed the import
ance of taking care in the making
out ol reports and drew from this
the lesson that a boy who is care
ful to keep strict account of what
he plants and what he makes will,
in after years in larger business af
fairs in which tie may become en
gaged, know just how he is running
at all times. Dr. Bradford claimed
that comparatively few farmers
knew just how much they were
making or what proportion of the
acreage cultivated by them was up
productive and was therefore an ex
pense. He stated that up6n most any
farm are found some bad acres of
land and yet few farmers knew that
they were making nothing from this
acreage because they kept no books
and had no system. He was greatly
gratified to know that the corn club
of Bartow pountv was doing so well
and wound up. by advocating that
the acre devoted to corn this year
should !> w bo turned inlo oafs,
wheat'or some other crop and anoth
er acre selected for the growth of
corn next year.
Mr. Lee was called upon and gave
a very practical tuik to the hoys and
reminded them that they were in
troducing anew system of farming
which would better the conditions
that now exist and revolutionize the
one cri p idea which has always
heretofore prevailed. He recited
many instances of what hoys .were
doing in the various parts of the
south; how the prize winners are
carried to Washington and how
talks of these mere hoys entertained
senators and members of congress
who listened to them with just a
much attention as if the president of
the United Stales was speaking to
them.
Mr. Milam then took the floor and
after a few complimentary expres
sions of gratitude to Mr. Lee for
what he was doing as a leader of
the corn club movement, he an
anunced the winners of the prizes.
For the best tei| ears of corn,
won by Weldon Bearden, prize giv
en by Adair & Lewis.
Second best ten . ears of corn,
George Goodson, prize given by
Scbeuer Bros.
Third best ten ears of corn, Carl

Announcement was made that all
who had not won prizes and desired
to attend he meeting of the seventh
district of corn clubs and girls’ can
ning clubs, would he furnished the r
railroad fare to Rome next Wednes
day. November 18. A large number
of the boys expressed their desire

HEADS LOAN FUND
Great Fertilizer Concern
Tops Richmond List
With SIOO,OOO.
The Bartow 7 Tribune received
Tuesday night from the Yirginia-
Garolina Fertilizer Company the tel
egram published below, which shows
that this company is taking a live
ly interest in those matters which
pertain to the prosperiy of the south
and particularly to the cotton in
dustry. They became one of the
largest subscribers in the country to
the cotton loan fund of $135,000,000,
which plan originated in St. Louis
and was published in The Tribune
in our issue of two weeks ago. To
this fund the United States govern
ment has given its indorsement and
business men and bankers through
out the country are subscribing lib
erally toward its formation.
As the Virginia-Carolina Company
have a number of customers and
patrons in Bartow county, we feel
that they will be gratified to know
that the Yirginia-Carolina Company
is doing its part toward maintaining
and upholding the value of cotton
as a product of the south.
The following is the telegram:
Bartow Tribune,
Cartersville, Ga..
“Comparatively little cotton plant
'd in this state hut business men of
Virginia have subscribed more than
her quota, one million dollars to the
cctlon loan fund. Richmond’s por
tion of this, one-half million dollars,
was over subscribed by about thirty
thousand dollars within twenty
on on mlnhtes at meeting of Cham
ber of Commerce of Richmond. List

scription, fiie times as large as

meat made with the Dixie Theatre,
we are enabled to offer the child
ren tickets amount to fifty cents for
every paid one dollar subscription
to The Tribute.
You know what The Tribune has
been; your parents and neighbors
know that during the past year it
has averaged from week to week ten
’pages. No other weekly paper in
Georgia has so uniformly, from
week to week, issued so large a
paper.
It is the purpose of The Bartow
Tribune to publish a better paper
even next year than it has during
1914.. It has a better plant, better
facility for getting news, is’better
organized and is more highly re
garded as a medium for advertis
ing than ever before.
During the past year, The Tribune
has been the designated official or
gan of the county and has carried
the legal advertising of the county.
It will continue to carry during the
next year all legal advertisements,
notwithstanding it will'not receive
any pay therefor, but in order to
furnish to the subscribers of The
-Tribune everything they ought to
know, it is the purpose of The Trib
une to run the legal advertising as
heretofore, simply adding the cost
of composition arid publication to
the expense of operation.
Now let every boy arid girl get
Imsy and turn in as many subscrip
tions as you can in order to get the
benefits of the commission which
we would rather pay to the boys and
girls of Bartow county than to some
professional contest manager or
managers living away.
BUD LANHAM HURT
AT LADD PLANT
At the plant of the Ladd Lime &
Stone Company near Cartersvile this
morning, Bud Lanham, an employee,
was seriously hurt.
Lanham was engaged at the time
in applying belt dressing to the
large belt which operates the huge
crusher, and while engaged in this
work, the belting drew up drawing
Lanham’s hand between the pulley
and belt. Evidently Lanham was not
noticing the action of the belt anu
that his hand was being drawn into
a place of danger. Upon seeking to
extricate his hand, in some way his
arm was broken near the elbow. Aid
rushed to him and he was brought
to a doctor in Cartersville and medi
cal and surgical relief furnished. No
complications setting in, he will
doubtless be well within two or
three weeks.
HULL-ADAMS.
An interesting event of this after
noon will be the wedding of Miss
Sulu Hull and Mr. Herman Adams
which will take place at six o’clock
at the home of the bride’s parents.
The house will be decorated With
ferns and white chrysanthemums
and Rev. Walter Adairn, of Calhoun,
a brother of the groom, will be the
officiating minister. The bride will
wear her guing away suit of blue
cloth and a corsage bouquet of
bride’s roses. Only the immediate
families will be present and Mr. and
Mrs. Adams will leave later in the
evening for their wedding trip.
The bride is the only daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. H. S. Hull and is be-,
loved by many good friends.
Mr. Adams is a popular and es
teemed young business man of Car
tersville and for many years has
been connected with the local post
office.

profits with the country and town

HON. GORDON LEE
ATTENDS GOON CLUB
Believes Times Are Grow-
Better And Expresses
Thanks For Election.
Hon. Gordon Lee, representative
in congress from Ibis district, was
in Cartersville Wednesday attend
ing the meeting of the boys’ corn
clubs of Bartow county.
It, is. known that Mr. Lee has for
several years taken a lively and ear
nest Interest in the boys’ corn
club movement and annually offers
very valuable prizes in money to be
contested for by the boys of the
various counties.
In addition to attending the boys'
corn clubs and girls’ canning clubs
of the Seventh Congressional Dis
trict, Mr. Lee attends each county
meeting whenever his congressional
duties permit. Much of what has
been done with the corn club move
ment is due to Mr. Lee, whose ef
forts and contributions have been
very inspiring.
' Mr. Lee, when seen by a reporter
of Tli ’ Tribune, expressed the be
lief that normal conditions in the
business world are rapidly return
ing and that within the, space of a
few months’ time the country will
be in full enjoyment of an era, of
prosperity. He expressed his opin
ion that some of the most benefieienl
laws passed by the congress and
urged by the Wilson administration
are just now 7 becoming effective. He
is a firm believer that benefits will
be derived as soon as the currency
act which establishes the various
regional banks throughout the coun
try will he of great, and lasting na
ture, and that the south will be
more nearly in touch with oppor
tunities to borrow capital than ev
er before duo to the distribution of
the regional hanks so that each por
tion of the country will have its pro
rata part of banking facilities in
stead of having all the money cen
tered in New York .as heretofore.
Mr. Lee stated that he regarded
the recent election as an endorse
ment of the democratic administra
tion, and, all tilings considered, it
was a remarkable victory. Due to
the war, business conditions were
very seriously disturbed and many
voters did not thoroughly under
stand the cause nor why the Euro
pean war. should have such far
reaching effects. These being dis
satisfied in some measure, laid the
responsibility upon the democratic
administration. As soon as business
conditions adjust themselves there
will be a return of prosperity and
together with the operation of the
laws passed by congress the people
will witness a restoration of confi
dence in the business world and
consequently will vole to return the
party in power which has done so
much to lift so many burdens from
the shoulders of the people and to
place them where they properly be
long.
Mr. Lee stated that due to the fact
that congress was kept in session
continually almost until the eve o'
election day, many democratic mem
bers were unable to go into their
districts to campaign, while the re
publican opposition was busy cir
culating every sort of report dam
aging to the party and personally
gaining the benefit of the personal
contact with the voter. In this way.
Mr. Lee believes, possibly fifty dem
ocratic congressmen lost their plac
es in close districts. In other words,
the republican was free to cam
paign for months and to come in in
timate contact with the voter, while
the democratic members of congress
did not have more than a week or
two within which to undo what he
republican opponent had done. '
Mr. Lee expresses the warmest
®ort of gratitude to the people o'
the district for returning him {<■
congress without opposition this
time. Tf is his purpose to work an' 1
labor in congress for his district,
and he is sincerely devoted to the
agricultural interests and occupies
a prominent position on the agri
cultural committee of the house.
Mr. Lee was pleasedwith the nro
erress made by the bovs of the coun
ty in their corn club activities anil
stated that the people would never
realize what an aid to society and
what an incentive to progress these
DUS CONTRIBUTE
TOWARD NEW ROAD
N. C. & St. L. Ry. Has Al
ready Given s.l 000 To
ward Allatoona Road.
Tile N. C. & St. L. nan way Com
pany has agreed to give to Bartow
county the sum of one thousand
dollars toward the expense of build
ing the new road from the village of
Harlow through the Allatoona Nils
so as to avoid the narrow underpass
at Bartow and the dangerous forty
one mile crossing.
The board of commissioners of
roads and revenues presented this
matter to the N. C. A 6L L. Railway
and the L. &N. Rap . sometime
ago and sot forth t,t. advantage it
would be to fhses systeuis to assist
in building this new road which
would so much eliminate the danger
of accidents which have happened
heretofore at forty-one mile cross
ing.
President Peyton, of the N. C. &
St. L., after considering the matter,
announced that the road would con
tribute one thousand dollars to this
purpose.
The L. & N. Railroad has not yet
announced their decision, but it is
hoped and believed that they will
similarly treat the matter.
The appropriation by the railroad
indicates a purpose upon its part to
assist the county in building good
roads and to avoid as far as possi
ble surface road crossings at dan
gerous points. For this they are to
be commended and the commission
ers are to lie congratulated upon se
miring their interest in the matter.
This road will be under headway in
a very short length of time, and, for
Ihe first time in history. Bartow
county is assured a good highway
from Cartersville to Atlanta.
