THE BARTOW TRIBUNE
DEMURRAGE CHARGES
TO JIE INCREASED
On A 1 1 Cars Held Over
Three Days After Expira
tion of Free Time.
An important application has been
filed, effective April 1, 1916, or as soon
as practicable, by carriers of the Unit
ed States increasing the demurrage
rate to two dollars per car per day
beginning with the fourth day after the
expiration of the free period; i. e. the
rate for the first three days after the
expiration of the free period to be as
heretofore, one dollar per day, but
thereafter two dollars per car per day,
and the amended rules provide further
that the charges in excess of the one
dollar per day cannot be offset by
credits as granted under what is
known to shippers as the “average
agreement.”
These charges have been agreed up
on between the association represent
ing the carriers and the National In
dustrial Traffic League representing
shippers, and have been, approved by
the Interstate Commerce Commission,
which has authorized carriers to file
tariffs covering the charges effective
after one day’s notice.
The effect of the rule is that the de
murrage rate for the use of oars will
remain the same as heretofore, but
should the shipper hold a car four days
after the free period, or longer, he
will then be charged two dollars per
day per oar for each day he holds thp
car after the first three days.
The rule is considered a fair one in
that it puts an additional penalty upon
those who hold cars an unreasonable
length of time which results in a
shortage of equipment to be furnished
shippers generally and makes it in
cumbent upon all sihip]>ers to properly
expedite the loading and unloading of
car load shipments.
Mine operators in this section,,
wholesale grocers, cotton dealers and
all others making or receiving car
load shipments are inferestad in the
new rule.
TO GET CHEAPER RATE
CALL FOR NUMBER ONLY.
The Southern Beil Telephone Com
pany has put on anew form of ser
vice between Cartersville and Atlanta,
which is introduced in the way of an
experiment.
The change effects the rate of
charges in that by giving the natmes
of the town and the telephone number
to the operator, or central, you hold
the line until the call station answers
or the operator reports. Under this
method of operating the company does
not get the particular party to the tel
ephone for you nor are such charges
reversed.
This service is particularly attrac
tive to subscribers who transact bus
iness with whoever answers the tele
phone. Upon request the manager’s
office will furnish a list of telephone
numbers of subscribers in Atlanta. To
obtain numbers not on the list, call
the information operator.
The new service does not cancel the
present rates' for particular party ser
vice, which can be secured by calling
the long distance operator in the us
ual manner. The rates from Oarters
ville to Atlanta for two-mumber ser
vice is 25 cents, and for particuar
party service, thirty cents. Each of
the rates are for an initial period of
three minutes or less. On the ten cents
rates for two-number service there is

[LECTION OF INTENSE INTEREST
BRINGS OUT JJNPRECEDENTED ROTE
Hendricks, Walton, Calaway, Haney And
Ingram Returned. Donahoo For Collec
tor And Jackson For Schools.
The primary election for the selec
tion of county officers took place Wed
nesday and the greatest of interest was
manifested upon the part of the voters
of the county, while the friend's and
champions of each candidate worked
earnestly and zealously for their
choice. No election held in recent yearfe
aroused so much Interest and the larg
est vote was polled throughout the
county that has been recorded since
the registration law went into effect.
Under the amended constitution, all
the officers nominated yesterday will
be elected for a term of four yea if,
while heretofore only the ordinary and
school superintendent have been eleci- j
ed for t his tennc thejpther officers hav
ing heretofore had their terms limited
to two years. This fact made the elec- 1
Horn all the more important and great- !
ly increased the efforts of the candi j
dates and their friends to land the jobs \
which they were seeking.
At Cartersville, throughout the day,
large throngs of men occupied the
court house grounds' and the streets
and sidewalks adjacent to the court
house where the voting took place at
the largest box in the county. Many
candidates living in other parts of the
county spent the day in Cartersville,
realizing that the large vote here
would have a very telling effect upon
their fortunes.
The races for clerk and sheriff were
considered to be the closest, and were
in fact so, but at the last the present
incumbents, W. C. Walton, clerk, and
W. \V. Calaway, sheriff, both of whom
were re-elected, pulled away from their
opponents with a very comfortable
margin to rely upon and to make them
secure. These two races were valiantly
fought by the friends of each. Both had
deputies of splendid type and business
a five cents charge for each two min
utes or fraction thereof in excess of
three minutes. On the 15, 20 and 25
cents rates the charge for excess time
is five cents for each additional min
ute or fraction thereof.
In other words-, a reduction is given
when subscribers or patrons wish to
call a certain number without desig
nating any particular person at that
number, but the rates will remain the
same if any particular person is called
to answer the phone at the other end
of the line. The benefits are mutual
to both the company and the public
in (that quicker service and reduced
rates are furnished when simply the
number is called for, and the telephone
company, on the other hand, is not put
to the necessity of holding the line •
for you during the time it takes to se
cure the particular person who might
be called for.
SHAREHOLDERS MEETING.
There will be a. special call meeting
of the members of the Cartersiville
Building & Doan Association to con
vene at the offices of the city commis
sioners at four o’clock p. m. on Tues
day afternoon, April 11th, 1916. To
nominate seven members for a board

capacity and large influence on their
tickets, and these undoubtedly greatly
assisted their chiefs in the progress of
their campaign. Running with Mr. Wal
ton were Capt. J. R. Anderson, 0 f Car
tersville. and Charles X. Maxwell, of
Adairsville; both gentlemen having a
personal following and popularity and
family connection of strength and in
fluence. Running with Mr. Nekton was.
Will Kennedy, of Taylorsville, and
Charles Jarrett, of Adairsville, and
these two deputies furnished their
chief with splendid majorities from the
sections of the county ini which they
lived. Running with Mr. Calaway was
Bob Hicks, of Cartersville, and Tom
Brice, of Adairsville, and Sheriff Cala
way can but rejoice over the wisdom
displayed by him in the selection of
his deputies and helpers. Mr. Gaines
bad associated with him s. S. Atwood,
of Stiles boro, and Bud Satterfield, of
the Cartersville district, both of whom
rendered great help and brought fine
support to the ticket headed by their
chief.
Judge G. W. Hendricks was returned
to the office of ordinary, which he has
so splendidly administered for many
years. John C. Haney was given a vote
of confidence upon the part of the peo
ple of the county which must be very
gratifying to him and which bespeaks.

preciation of efficiency. Nat Donahoo

lector. Throughout the race of Mr.
Donahoo it could be easily seen that
for him there was, a real sentiment and
a real sympathy in his success. He out
distanced all his opponents and came
jMmd&r the wire a winner with several
hundred votes to spare.
The new county commissioners are
| as follow®: Mr. N. M. Adams, receiv
ing the largest vote oast; Mr. G. M.
Boyd, of Adairsville, running second;
Mr. N. A. White, of Rydal, receiving a
flattering vote throughout the entire
county, and came into Cartersville with
the largest majority, but at this box
was outdistanced bv Mr. Adams; Mr.
Geo. H. Gilreath ran fourth, while the
fifth place was in doubt until the
Ada i raw ille returns were reported,
which came in after the Cartersville
box war-: counted u;p, but Mr. Bradford
ran .just about forty votes ahead of Dr,
Baker.
The race for the county superintend
ent of schools went to Jesse W. Jack
son by a tremendous majority. Local
conditions existing in various parts of
the county, out of which differences
arose, were put together to make a
Hood tide to overwhelm Mr. Milam,
and thus an efficient school superin
tendent must bow to the will of the
majority and yield to one who had the
reputation of being a splendid, un
standing and capable educator and
who, his friends insist, will further
advance the cause of education
throughout Bartow county.
" • W- Phillips, for engineer, was
unopposed, and W. J. Ingram was re
elected coroner over Mr. Gray, the de
feated candidate, however, receiving a
very flattering vote throughout the
county.
The tabulated returns will be found
in another portion of the paper.
