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 general for the various districts, the ones receiving the largest vote among the candidates wHI be declared the nominees, and to be voted for only in the districts in which they preside. The matter of nominating the con.- CARTERSVILLE, GA„ MAY 4, I<)K> 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 abonnt of money to be devoted to | each (purpose ana , a general agree ment Wi a 111 questions which might be rarsetf-SpOtt'-taa. is.iie 'being submitted. j Every entzen of Cartersville inter f- ted In the progressive upbuilding of 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 "ill be met with practicality unani mous support upon all hands and that *he present board of commissioners will be able within a very short time to undertake the work of permanently providing this city with its most es sential needs. 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 '.oii, and Dr. Hardeman, aspiring for 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. notice. • 11. i uere will be a lecture by Mr. B.

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. J i 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. The folio \ ng is the program: Seng—“America”—By the Daught ers of Confederacy and veterans. Devotional exercises * I Violin solo —Joseph Scheuer.

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.
