The Cartersvilie Building & Loan
Association will hold its annual meet
ing next Thursday, May 11, at 4 p. m.
at the city halt council -chamber and
the stock holders will he furnished
with a complete report of the porgiess
made by this successful Oartersville
institution, many features of which
will be interesting and profitable.
Among other things to be announced
will be the fact that checks have been
issued in the sum of $20,003.48 in re
demption of the first series of stock
ir. this institution. These payments
will go in varying amounts to many
citizens of Cartersvilie and Bartow
county, s-ome of which are in quite
large sums. It required the sum of
$19,939.80 to redeem the stock, but the
stock holders in tihs series had a pro
portionate interest in the surplus Ac
cumulated by the Association amount
ing to $63.68, "which makes the total
distribution amount to $20,003.48.
This sum will be paid out at matur
ity, oh time, and in exact conformity
with the covenants and obligations of
the Association. It is likely that inas
much as the investment has proven so
satisfactory, much of this, if not prac
tically alii of it, Mill 'be reinvested by
the stockholders in the Association,
taking anew series.
It is of interest, also, to the people
to know that the total amount of stock
subscribed in the Cartersvilie Build
ing & Loan Association to date is
3,680 shares of the par value of
$358,000. At jthe last census, Carters
vilie was designated a® a city of 4,067
Inhabitants. Based on a per capita
basis, the Association has invested in
it SBB for every man. woman and child
l in Cartersville. The enterprise is pure
] ly a local one; has been excellently
managed; profitable returns have been
reaped by those who have invested.
; and its many loans have resulted in

j who were unable otherwise to do so,
j have been enabled to build homes, bus

BOARD OF CITY COMMISSIONERS CULL
MASS MEETING FOR 001 ISSUE
"V “
Mayor And Commissioners Desire Express
ion From People Themselves Con
cerning City Improvements.
Cartersviie, Ga„ May Ist, 1916
To the People of Cartersvilie:
Realizing the urgent necessity of a System of Sanitary Sewers for
this city, andThe permanent street work necessary to he done, coinci
dent with the Installation of a Sewerage System, and it appearing that
immediate steps should be taken to provide more connnidious facilities
for our public schools, and proper sanitary measures adopted and in
stalled to safeguard the health of our school children and provide for
them the necessary conveniences commensurate with common decency;
your commissioners have decided to call you into consultation, and re
quest that all citizens of this city interested in these matters and in
the general welfare and progress of this city, meet with the City Com
missioners at the County Court House on the evening of Tuesday. May
9th at Eight O'clock.
As these matters are of paramount importance, it also being nec
essary tnat. a Bond Issue must be submitted for the aforesaid purposes
it is necessary that we shall have the hearty co-operation of everyone,
and we trust that this meetng for counsel and decision shall be attend
ed by r,l*e most representative gathering possible.
PAUL GILREATH, Mayor.
R. W. LANDERS,
H. R. MAXWELL,
, . . Commissioners.
As will be seen from the foregoing. |
the city commissioners of Cartersvilie j
have called a mass meeting of citi
zens for the purpose of receiving sug
gestions concerning a contemplated
bond issue to bring about sewerage,
permanent street improvements ad
increased) schooil facilities, and for per
haps other purposes; all of a perma
nent nature.
It is expected that a large meeting of
citizens will be held on this occasion
and that doubtless the sentiment w|ill
be practically unanimous for these
improvements. The citizens of Carters
vilile have, heretofore, on numerous
occasions, expressed themselves as be
ing in favor of a bond issue for ltke
purposes and have come to the polls
on at least three occasions and cast
their ballets, giving practically three
fourths majorities on such occasion?
for the submitted bond issue.
Each time, by reason Of some tech
nical misapplication of the law or
omission to comply with the law in
certain particulars, the elections went
for naught and, hence, for three years
the people have been without power
to secure these needed public improve
ments.
It is anticipated that business or
ganizations, civic todies and private
individuals will crowd the court house
on next Tuesday night and advocate
•' ' 7“*^.Electioneer these purposes.
It is known uk*. . . . , „. f „
•> itreat majority o f
the citizens and tax payv s^
of Cartersville warmly favebr a bond |
issue for sewerage. The tcitizen.s of j
Cartersville have taken rm sre interest j
in such elections than in 1 any other,
and the leading business 'men and tax
payers cf the city have won ked active
ly at the polls in order tq secure two
thirds vote of the register/ed number
to bring about successful issues or'
other elections for this purpose. It is
hoped that all these will actively take
part in the meeting nexft Tuesday
night and lend their presence to the
occasion. It is contended thiVt Carters
ville is the largest town iiu Georgia
having no system of seweraate and all
progressive, up to date citiJes regard
it as essential to the health pres
DELEGATES RETURN FROM
MACON CONVENTION.
Thomas Lumpkin, W. C. Satterfield,
M. L. Johnson and George M. tfeach,
delegates to the State Democratic
Convention at Macon, returned home
Wednesday night. The convention was
unusually harmonious in all its decla
rations and decisions and agreed upon
the rules governing the primary which
was set for September 12th for the
election of governor, state house of
ficers, judges and solicitors general,
members of the genera! assembly,
judges of the supreme court and con
gressmen.
As to the governor and state house
officers, the unit rule will apply. In
the selection of judges and solicitors

the candidates wHI be declared the
nominees, and to be voted for only in
the districts in which they preside.

per it y of the town that a system of
sanitary sewerage be secured.
Our School facilities are not suffic
iently ample to meet the requirements
and needs of an increasing enrollment
nor or they provided with proper sani
tary facilities that go with hygienic
arrangements. Our streets have never
; had any permanent wrork done upon
them and there exists in Cartersvilie
no established grades which would
justify private property owners in
making improvements along the
streets.
It is also necessary that such im
provements be undertaken by a bond
issue, The improvements are perma
nent hi character and should be paid
for in easy installments such as is
provided by a bond issue and carried
by means of bonds which bear a re
duced rate of interest.
Xot. only the men, but the women
of Cartersville are greatly interested
in the successful issue of this cam
paign for sewerage, and in the elec
tions held heretofore the women have,
through their persuasive influence,
given great aid and help to the oanse. j
The idea of the -commissioners in !
cal If rig a mass meeting is to get a di
rect expression from the people tnem
celvej who are interested. They want
to gej a meeting -of minds upon the
. character of bond to be issued, upon

the city, its health, its welfare and
its natural advance should make his
arrangements-so that he can certainly
be in attendance at the court house
next Tuesday- bight and take part in
the discussions and decisions that
will be nrade. Tt js believed that the
result of such a meeting will be that
a bond issue will be submitted and

will be able within a very short time
to undertake the work of permanently
providing this city with its most es

gre - men will be left to the various
congressional districts.
1 p to date there are only two an
nounced candidates for governor Gov
ernor Nat E. Harris, seeking re eloc

the nomination. It is probable, how
ever, that Hugh Dorsev. of Atlanta
and linked States Collector of Inter
nal Revenue A. O. Blalock will at one
enter the race, now that the date of
the primary has been fixed.
It is also probable that various ether
candidates for the several p'aees to be i
filled will announce within the next 1
few days and the campaign will be on
all over the state for many officers.

COUNTY BOARD HOLDS
IMPORTANT SESSION
Considers Proposal to Come
Under Smith Lever Act
Of Congress.
Tine board of county commissioner;
held its regular monthly meeting at
the court house Wednesday morning.
A grtat many matters of general in
terest were taken up and disposed of.
The board heard an interesting talk
from Dr. William Bradford, of Oedar
:own, who urged Bartow county to
place Itself within the provisions ot
,he Smith-Lever act of congress by
undertaking to share in the expense
ol 1 engaging a competent agricultural
export, as a demonstrator for this
county.
The federal government has set i
aside millions of dollars for the pur
pose of increasing the efficiency in
agricu? ural work to be spent in the
states and counties in proportion to
rural population. The state of Georgia,
as practically every other state in the
uni-n, has supplemented this fund
with equal amounts c:ming to the
state?. The counties are expected only
to pay one-half of the salary of a cap
able expert, whose duties aire to visit
each farm, hol’d meetings at different
places where he can address farmers
and give them practical advice, eu
coin age efficiency and comfort, in home
economics, pass upon matters relating
to affinity of soil and plant, see to
the selection of seed, suggest remedies
to drive away disease of stock and
plants, and myriads of other duties
which can only be performed by one
who has given professional study to
agricultural conditions. Dr. Bradford
was able to support his argument with
statistical data which proved conclu
sively that if would be wise and finan
dally beneficial to the farmers to get
the benefits, of the Smith-Lever bill.
Action was deferred pending further
consult at ion.
The various wardens were before
the board and reported as to progress
j made in road work. The commission
ers have every reason to feel gratified
| over the progress made in permanent
| road building in Bartow county. With
-lin the next two or three months the
! Taylorsville road will be completed
i into Cartersville. This is a splendid
i roadway and the character of construc
tion has met with universal commend
j at.ion. |
The board during the latter hours
Wednesday afternoon settled itself
down toward going over its accounts, j
approving bills and vouchers and is- j
suing warrants for work and labor j
done and material purchased.

DAUGHTERS OF CONFEDERACY
TO MEET WITH VETERANS, j
f
An interesting program Is that ar
ranged by the Daughters* of the Con
federacy at a meeting to be held by
(the P. M. B. Young Camp of Confed
crate Veterans and the local chapter
Daughters of the Confederacy at the
Cherokee Club rooms next Saturday
morning at ten oo’ock. In order to
I increase the interest in the meetings
; of the camp, the Daughters of the Con
federacy have undertaken to provide
the program and themselves- take part
in the exercises. On those occasions
songs, instrumental music, solos, reci
tations and talks are made, all of a
very interesting and elevating charac
ter, as well as informative in many re
spects. The meetings have very much
increased in interest since the Daugh
ters of the Confederacy have joined
their efforts, and doubtless a large
meeting will be held next Saturday
morning at the club room.
The Confederate veterans are spec
ially invited to attend and as many of
the Daughters of the local chapter as
possible, as well as the public.

BIRMINGHAM REUNION
TO BE GREATEST YET
Confederate Veterans To
Hold Annual | Meeting
Tuesday Week.
Perhaps the largest Confederate re
union yet held will be that at Birming
ham May 16, 17 and 18, and from Car
tersvilie and Bartow county a large
contingent of veterans, Daughters of
the Confederacy, Sons of Veterans,
and many others will attend.
The Seaboard Airline Railway will
provide a special car to be placed in
Cartersvilie on May 15th in which the
Bartow comity delegation will be car
ried. A rouiyl trip fair of $3.10 lias
been furnished and this cheap rate,
together with the comfortable accom
modations afforded by the Seaboard
Airline Railway, will be an added in
ducement to a large number to witness
this great spectacle which thrills the
souls and hearts of all southerners.
The car will go through without
change and thus a most comfortable
ride will be given those who attend
j from here.
Birmingham has made extraordinary
preparations for this event and indi
cations already make sure the correct
ness of an estimate of one hiundred
thousand visitors. Due to Birming
ham's central location, its easy acces
sibility and splendid railroad facilities,
every’ veteran who possibly can is go
ing to attend this meeting, and as
many others as can will also be- pres
ent as spectators* during the sessions
of the convention.
It may be of interest to many to
know that two Cartersville cittern*
are managers of Birmingham hotels.
Thomas P. Dunham is manager of the
Hotel Jefferson, and Frank SatterfioMl
is manager of the Terminal Hotel,
; Both thepe former citizens of Bartow
(county will do everything isn their
