On the first Sunday in July the an nual "all day singing” will take place a, [he tabernacle and plans are rapid ly maturing for a most delightful oc casion. Sheriff Wofford Oalaway, popular, genial, whole-souled and a bass singer of note, is in charge of the arrange ments and its success Is therefore as sured. The Vaughan quartette, of Tennes see, will be here and will be one of the features of the day’s entertain ment. Other distinguished singers, fa miliar with the methods and style of music so popularly rendered at all day singings will be on hand from Ala bama, Georgia and Tennessee and, contributing also to a program not complete without them, will be Bar tow county’s own gifted songsters and melody makers. All who attended the all day sing ing at the tabernacle last year will never forget the occasion. It jumped into i>opular favor, the demand was made and has become insistent that it be made an annual event and In ac cordance with this expressed desire upon the part of hundreds, it is brought to Cartersville again this year. The first Sunday in July at the tabernacle is the time and place. On this day it will be Cartersvilie’s privilege, and her opportunity, to ac cord the heartiest of hospitable treat ment to these accomplished men and women. For the most part the men do the singing but there will be sufficient of the refining influence of women to give it a touch and tone which only women can furnish. It is not necessary to urge a crowd to attend. People will be here for miles and miles away. Cartersville people will be on hand throughout the day. Some have only heard one all day sing ing and, being behind in this form of education, they want to catch up. Their education having been neglected in their earlier and mere youthful days, they intend to make up for all lost opportunities. Hence, vast throng3 will crowd the tabernacle the first Sunday In July It is a real entertainment. The songs furnish inspiration. They are uplift ing. They enable a man to perceive the glories of religious hymnal and to feel the touch of a divinely gifted voice. With all this is the music of quartettes, each member chosen for parts especially suited to his voice and. each voice perfected to sustain his part. In every wav the citizes can asissr Mr. Calaway and his helpers they' should join in .and make this c feature °f summer entertainment. W - D ' TRIPPE announces FOR LEGISLATURE.

THE BARTOW TRIBUNE SCIIuHIIS GUILTY YERDIGT OF JURY Legal Execution to Be Held June 23rd Unless New Trial Is Granted. Joe Scrutchens, the negro murdeiar cl Fred Collins, a popular young man of Emerson, Sunday, May 21st, was found guilty of murder in the first de gree by a jury Wednesday night and was sentenced by Judge Fite Thursday morning to hang Friday, June 23d. Judge Fite called a special term f the grand jury and court to take up the case of State vs. Scrutchens dur ing the early part of the week to as semble Wednesday. Upon court con vening the grand jury was charged to consider the case. Soon afterwards an indictment for murder was returned and Scrutchens was placed upon his trial immediately. The court appointed Paul F. Akin and C. C. Pittman to defend the ac cused having secured no counsel. The state was represented by solicitor gen eral Lang and J. R. Whitaker. A jury was soon selected as follows: R. P. Griffin, R. A. Holden, J. W. Mash burn, H. E. Young, H. W. Henderson. W. W. Daniel, T. R. Hicks, R. M. Gaines, W. J. Fountain, J. C. Fink, J. W. Kennedy, J. A. Price. The testimony developed the case about as published in The Tribune last week. The witnesses swore that Mr. Collins, with some companions were coming into Emerson after having walked Sunday afternoon to. Bartow and that at a point near the “chalk cut” this side of Bartow they passed a negro woman, who was drunk, and just after passing she accused Collins of having insulted her. This he denied as did the other young men with him,’ asserting that he did not say a word to her. She insisted and threatened to tell her husband. Joe Scrutchens. Some time after Mr. Collins return ed to Emerson Joe Scrutohens went up to Collins, wanting to know what' it was he said to his wife. Again-Mr. Collins denied saying anything, which resulted in Scrutchens insisting that he had and reaching and procuring a rock with which to hit Collins, Mr. Col lins reached down to get a rock but before he could raise Scrutchens threw the stone he bad obtained and struck Mr. Collins in the head. He lived for some time afterwards but died Sun day night. Scrutchens was also drunk, as was his wife. The defendant did not offer any wit nesses but took their chances upon the state’s witnesses showing nothing more than manslaughter and pressed this theory upon the jury. The attor neys for state insisted that it was co’d blooded murder. The jury was charged just before 8 o'clock at night. Immediately after eating supper they went into consulta tion. Within less than twenty minutes they reported a verdict of guilty of murder in the first degree. Judge Fite postponed sentence until Thursday morning for the reason that he did not have a formal sentence written out as required by law, but this morning sentenced Scrutchens to die the 23d day of June. BIRTHDAY DINNER. An occasion which gave joy to all present, was the birthday dinner given by Mr. and Mrs. William Brown, Sun day, May 28. Mr. Brown has beheld the sunshine and flowers of this beautiful America of ours for seventy-four years, and never seemed to enjoy himself better than on last Sunday. Of his father’s once large family only three are now living, William Brown, of Cartersville, Parks Brown and Mrs. Barrona, a sister, both *f Douglasville, Ga. Mr, Brown, Mrs. Barrona, Mr. Grisham, a nephew, and his little son, came up Sunday morning in their car and spent the day. TO THE PUBLIC.

CLASS OF 1916 Class Motto: "Age Quad Agis.” Class Colors: Green and White. Class Flower. Sweet Pea. OFFICERS: QUILL!AN JONES, President REAGAN YOUNG, Treasurer. CLASS ROLL: LITERARY Francis Vaughan, First Honor; Quillian Jones, Second Honor; Hey ward Young, Third Honor; Jack Knight, Fourth Honor; Bennie Stein berg, Ruby Covingtou, Frances Mat thews, Eva Alley. COMMERCIAL Reagan Young, First Honor, Fred Neel. SPECIAL Bertha Jenkins. Presenting a fine example of young manhood and young womanhood and a most excellent illustration of the re fining and beneficial effects of public school education, the graduating exer cises of the Cartersville High School thrilled and delighted a large audience at the tabernacle Tuesday night and eleven young men and young women received their diplomas. The stage setting was made of a perfect arrangement. Above the speak ers’ stand was erected an arch upon which was printed the class motto, ‘Age Quod Agis,” which being inter preted means, “Do what you are doing, finish what you are about.” Seated im mediately back and in semi-circular form was the graduating class, while at the end of one row and on the right of the platform sat the members of the board of education, Messrs. C. M. Milam, Dr. R. E. Adair and Jno. A. Stephens and Mayor Paul Gilreath, while on the left side of the stage sat Supt. H. L. Sewell and Dr. R. E. Park, who delivered the address. On the raised rows back of the stage were arranged the lower high school grades, the graduates of future years, and the teachers, Miss Saxon. Miss Conner and Mr. Queener. The class colors were much in evi dence and it was plainly to be seen that these were green and white. The Program. Prof. Sewell introduced Rev. John G. Logan who pronounced the invoca tion. The salutatory address of Quillian Jones followed. Mr. Jones, with rare grace and in language both appro priate and well chosen, and with a voice suited to public speaking, enter tained all with his cordial welcome and justified his right to hold the sec ond honor in his class. The class prophecy was splendidly handled by Heyward Young. Mr. Young, while claiming no divine in spiration, drew on his intimate know ledge of his mates so as to justify a prediction as to the future of each. Sc accurate was he in his foretelling that members of the family of the one under discussion would be bound to say that “it would be just about that way” thirty years hence, the date Mr. Young had fixed for the accomplish ment of great things by the members of the class in their different spheres of activity. Miss Frances Matthews greatly pleased the great audience with her wittv references to the juniors of to day, the seniors of next year. She made it plain enough that the class left the juniors with regret but that they carried away with them recollec tions of the eccentricities of each mem ber cf the junior class which would always cause a smile of relief in their saddest hours. Miss Matthews te eeived liberal applause throughout the reading and delivery of her paper. Lewis Peeples appeared to be quite to the task of saying goodbye to the seniors on behalf of the juniors and mingled with a sadly expressed fare well of “don’t hurry” he plainly show ed that the juniors would endure the loss by virtually telling them ‘‘but here’s your bat.” His address was meditable and well delivered and was freely applauded. “The Last Will and Testament” was prepared and read by Miss Bertha Jen kins. Miss Jenkins is entitled to the highest praise for her work, her anal>- sis of the possessions of foe seniors which would fittingly suit Individual members of the junior class and he: CARTERSVILLE, GA., JUNE 1, 191,; | well chosen language of disposition. . Her paper was easily one of the “hits” j. j of the occasion. The valedictory of Francis Vaughan I was full of practical wisdom, delivered i in an impressive and graceful style, I and inclusive of all to whom words of ! obligation were due. Mr. Vaughan's I urgency of improved school buildings and facilities were particularly force ful and supported by the soundest of reasons. The address stamped this young man as one of brains who Is directing his mental processes toward service in behalf of his fellow man. Instructive Address By Dr. Park. One of the best and most thorough ly interesting and instructive address es delivered in many a day in Carters ville was that of Dr. R. E. Park, of the University of Georgia. He pressed the great need of general education; showed how materially rich was the south in timber, agriculture, manufac tories and potential wealth. To hold all this and to get greater results out of our heritage we must become train ! ed in mind or we would lose it as did the Indians whose intellectual train ing was not equal to that of a fewer number of white men. He brought his lesson down to the individual and proved how necessary it was to be a “trained man." He summed up the essentials of a man’s usefulness by de claring that he must be a worker, he must do his duty and he must perform a service to his fellowman. Not a word of this thoughtful address es caped a single auditor in the vast crowd who heard him and it is the wish of all who w’ere present that Dr. Park be given opportunity to si>eak here again and again. C. M Milam, president of the board of education, in an address of sound wisdom and timely discussion pre faced his presentation of diplomas. Mr. Milam referred to the aims and pur poses of the board of education in pro viding a complete system of educa tion; the progress made; the recogni tion the city schools had received from the highest authorities and rec ommended more and better school buildings. His advice to the graduates was particularly good and hopeful. He presented the diplomas, one by one, the several graduates coming for ward to receive Written -evidence of their excellence in school work. Thus closed one of ,the most suc cessful school entertainments and graduating exercises ever held in Car tersville and a vast throng, both old a :d young sought their homes, pleased with all that was heard, uplifted by the inspiration of the hour.

SHERIFF CALAWAY AFTER BLIND TIGERS Nearly Forty Gallons Of Whiskey Captured And Many Arrests. While Girard, Ala. is locating quite a lot of liquor within its corporate limits and adjacent territory and gain ing more or less fame and publicity out of it, Sheriff Calaway decided that there must be some liquor stored in this county and started out last Fri day night to find it. For some reason, not known to The Tribune, and perhaps to none other than his able deputies, B ,b Hicks and Ti m Price, he went straight with these two assistants to Pine Log and to the home of Harrison Maxwell, a negro, and it was not long before he drew out from behind the bed, con cealed from view by bed clothes, “some” whiskey. In all he got from Harrison 20 1-2 gallons of corn liquor. It was “sure enough” corn liquor. As the sheriff termed it “double and twisted” corn whiskey. Not only did he get liquor but he got Harrison and his son, Oscar, and together with one keg containing 20 gallons, and a jug containing one-half gallon, he brought to town these two wholesale and retail dealers in the stuff and placed the whole thing, negroes, whiskey, keg, jug and all in jail. And they there yet. At the same time he went to White, Ga., sought out Alice Fain, a negno, found what liquor she had, which amounted to 3 quarts, and gave this lay out a ride to Cartersville and board at the jail. Not satisfied he de cided that Fletcher Taylor must be a law breaker, and sure enough he was, for he had 2 gallons of whiskey, which is now too much to have on hand in Georgia, and brought Fletcher and Jud Gay, with the whiskey to Carters ville and to jail. If business had kept up a little longer at this rat© Girard wbittd not top in if with this thriving industry in this section of Bartow county among the negro professional boot leggers. On Saturday night the sheriff arrest ed D. A. Spriggs, white, and T. J. Col lier, white, in Cartersville for carry ing too much whiskey on hand. Two gallons was taken from Spriggs house. while Collier had 2 pints and 1 half pint bottle of whiskey on his person on his way to town. He was arrested for having whiskey for the purpose of sale. All told the sheriff is now possessed of some forty gallons of liquor of var ious distillations and if he don’t get it all in pretty soon it will be because those who have it have decided to drink it up or to pour it in the creek for the fish. For, be it known, Sheriff CaLaway has gone into the liquor busi ness. He proposes to control the busi ness and since he don’t Intend to sell it he is going to see to it that nobody else does. In all which he is supported by pub lic sentiment. DOLLS FOR GIRLS OFFERED BY TRIBUNE.

BRONZE SIAiIDS FUR LAMP SUPPBHIS Post Office Building And Grounds Still Being Beautified. Postmaster H. J. Jolly has received notice from the office of the supervis ing architect at Washington that, agreeable to the request made by Mr. Jolly recently, bronze lamp standards will be substituted for the iron ones originally specified. Sometime ago the iron posts came and the base of these posts were found to overlap the granite stone, upon which they were to rest, some two or three inches, so that a good job could not be made out of it. Seizing opportunity to got more hand some and artistic standards, Mr. Jolly notified the department that the iron posts would not do and thereupon asked that bronze posts be substituted inasmuch as the iron posts had to be changed anyhow. Mr. Jolly also wrote to Hon. Gordon Lee who at one© saw the supervising architect and solicited him to make the change asked for. That the request was agreeable is evidenced by the de cision made by the Washington au thorities to substitute bronze stand ards, which will likely be put in place within the next few weeks. Bermuda grass roots and blue grass seed have been set out on the lawn surrounding the poet office and within a short length of time the post office grounds will be greatly beautified by a green sward. The soil was made per fect for the reception of the grass roots and seed and the attention be ing given it now insures a beautiful lawn and the post office corner will soon be one of the attractive spots of Cartersville.
