The hot weather has brought forth u unusual supply of mosquitce-s and ! the abundance of rain ami dampness ; ha? brought to Cartersville a greater j army of these disease carriers than ever before. The citizens of Carters-j viiie contemplate with dread and ap- j prehension the lack of a system of ■ sewerage and drainage which contin- ! tn > 'o harass and endanger the 'life . and health of our people from the fly , mi tie mosquito, and some of the' iar- -t t.?w payer are severe in the- r j t criticism of our irglect and proorasti- i I -nation.

His utterances have all been tempered with modera tion. He has not sought to abuse any body. He has made no false and un supported charges. He has met the people face to face and has given them the best of reasons why he shoo'd be favored and has run upon his own strength as a lawyer and man and not upon the weakness of his opponent. .Mr. Tarver has strongly contended for the sacredness of jury verdicts, for the dignity of grand juries, and for a strict adherence upon the part of judges to the duties of the:ir office only in order that their judgments may be correct and not subject to so many reversals by the supreme court.

Conyers Fite, who is at pres ent stationed in New York, is spend ing a short tlc*e at home CHARGE SOI IRUE SMS CLERKOE COURT No Suspended Sentence Hangs Over Head Of Tarver In Whitfield. The report in last week’s Tribune! concerning the colloquy between Judge A. \\. Fite apd Cos). M. C. Tarver, of L'al.c.u both candidates for superior court ; ilge, ail.-: tog out of Judge Fite’s statement in court and in the pres ence of jurors and many spectators at tending court, that he held a suspend ed sentence over Mr. Tarver In Whit field, county and the prompt denial of the truthfulness of this statement by Mr. fJ’arvpr at’ the time, has caused many inquiries to be made and much comment to be indulged. It .will be remembered that Judge : 'ite.. while -engaged in the perform ance of the-dirty of sentencing a negro who had been found guilty of an of fence, took occasion to take up the time of the court to say that he held a suspend and sentence over Mr. Tar ver. .whe'diart mioken curing the auorn rng|;at the sburt< ho.:i urging his Uapiifened th-t 'T, Tarver had come rtoYlu- ccur; • ooai and had taken a , oatiK’vn heard the statement made by !udgv I'ite. ile promptly rose and stae <1 ib the court that Judge Fite was in ci ’-or- in making such a statement in i.bat tie did not have any sup.i ie 1 'r- vy ever- him nor indeed had Judge Flic ever had a ca- against him-pept th ‘t arising oui of differ -1 in the court durirg tin trial of cai-ea in v.;Mch he was employed. Not-' vit.ly-t.zrding Mr. Tarver’s denial J-ui*-- rite.did not withdraw his siale meriSt. which was that be held a sus pended sentence over Mr. Tarter, and whfjh statement he had mad.e on pub lic pg,;g.sLpns. at other places in the diYr. without elating for what' .of fence hb held a suspended sentence ever him.'Mr. Tarver went on to say that the- only times that he had even been fined by Judge Fite were for con tempt of court .and *kat in one of these cases he paid bis fine and in the other i; war remitted. Due to the fact that Judge Fite did not correct his statement, notwith standing that Mr. Tarver was positive in hi? denial, and left ail who wanted to believe him. -he editor of The Trib une wrote to W. M. Sapp, clerk of the superior court of Whitfield county, to ascertain what the record showed in this respect. The letter of inquiry to Mr. Sapp was as follows: “Hon. W. M. Sapp, “Clerk Superior Court. “Dalton, Ga. “Dear Sir: “A few days ago, during a session of the superior court at this place, Judge Fite stated in court that he held a sus- ; pended sentence over M. C. Tarver in ' Whitfield superior court. Mr. Tarver j made denial of this at the time but Judge Fite did not withdraw his charge. “ds a maiter of public interest I would like tc have yon examine your records and to inform me what such records show in this respect. ‘•1 would greatly appreciate a prompt reply. “Very truly yours, , “O. T. PEEPLES, Editor.' 1 j In replay to this letter Mr. Sapp wrote the editor of The Tribune as follows: “.Mr. O. T. Peeples. Editor, “CartersviKe, Ga. “Dear Sir: “Replying to your communication of yesterday, will state that there is no record in this office that Col. M. C. Tarver was ever defendant in any criminal proceeding in this court. “Sometime last vear, Judge A. W. Fite imposed a small fine aga nst Mr. Tarver for an alleged contempt in open court, but immediately remitted the fine, and no record was ever made of the affair, the same having occurred in open court. There was no sentence imposed. ‘•Several years ago Cols. Tarver and McCamy were fined for contempt and the fines were paid. “Respectfully, “W. M. SAPP.’ Thus it will be seen that Mr. Tar ver has never been a defendant in any criminal proceeding before Judge Fite, and, therefore. Judge Fite has never had an opportunity to suspend a sen tence over him for a criminal offence, and his statements to this effect here TABERNACLE MEETING NEXT WEEK WITH GYPSY SMITH, i, IN CHARGE Splendid Services Will Be Held Daily Begin ning Aug. 4, And Ending Sunday, August 13, with Good Singing As Feature. The great annual tabernacle meet ing wild' begin next week and will bring to Cartersville the Gypsy Smith Evan gelistic Party who will conduct, what promises to be, one of the most suc cessful religious revivals ever held in Cartersville.

August ttb, and will run through ten days ending August 13th. Rev. Albany R. Smith, better known as Gypsy Smith, Jr., and son of an evangelist who has heretofore con ducted a tabernae’e meeting in Car teiv.ville, and himself a man. of great strength and spiritual fervor, will do the burden of the preaching, and ev erywhere Mr. Smith has conducted meetings he has met with great suc cess. He has*won the love and esteem • of at-‘ who have ec-operated and work ed with him, and has left an impres sion upon each and very community he liak visited ar t where he -has labored. Assist]eg Gvpsy Smith Will'be, Rev. Bov Vale, who comes as a personal worker and coadjuter of Mr,’ Smith. Mr. Vale wi-’l arrive in Cartersville this week ::;d vv... pie adit, in the sev eral- churches in Cartersville Sunday, apd will at the beginning-of -next week actfveey lay plans as a herakl. for the coming ol orypsy Smith, Jr., and his talented singer, Mr. Forest (Vie.

Mr. Co-!e will have com plete charge of the music and is a di rector of fine force and executive abil jry it is earnestly hoped that every- ( one who has a voice will jo.Ti in the chorus and make this meeting one which will be distinguished above all others for the excellence of the music rendered. All tho-se who have so splen didly entertained the people of Car tersville and surrounding country with their voices at all day singings are es pecially urged to lend their htj|l>p in song to the success of this meeting. As always heretofore, vast throngs CONGRESSMAN LEE ON IMPORTANT COMMITTEE. An evidence of Congressman Lee’s j high standing in congress is shown by the fact that he has been named is one of the three members of the house to meet with three members of the senate and adjust the differ- ■ dices between the house and the sen- , ate over the Agricultural Appropria tion bill. Senator Hoke Smith is one ct the senators named for this im l>ort.ant work. With two Georgians on this hoard, the interests of Georgia ar.J the south will be carefully guard ed. This measure carries more money to promote agriculture and more good legislation in behaf of the farmer than any measure ever before passed by congress. Among t-he important measures in this bill which is o-f ex ceeding interest to the south, might be mentioned the bill to prevent gambling in cotton futures, the federal warehouse bW, whereby agricultural products can be stored under govern ment supervision, the grain grading bill, a very large appropriation for demonstration work, also ample ap propriation for carrying on the tick | eradication work and for the preven tion of hog cholera. Legislation for the handling of the seventy-five million | dollars for -good roads, which will be i disbursed under the control of the de- I partment o-f agriculture, is also in i ctuded in this bill. and throughout the district appear to be unwarranted and baseless. Due to the fact that these men are running for the high and responsible position at judge of the superior court. The Tribune has sought to ascertain the facts of the case from an authoriz ed official who was impartial and un biased in his statement of facta. will be in Cartersville during the en tire ten days, and on the two Sundays through which the meeting lasts the largest crowds that ever assembled on the tabernacle grounds are ex pected to attend these meetings. Gypsy Smith, Jr., comes‘to Oarters 'vllle splendidly recommended. Those who remember his father, the excel lence of his character and the pro found earnestness of his preaching and his interesting delivery, will come to s,ee if the son has inherited the gifts of the father. Where Gypsy Smith, has been he has been blessed with great success in his work and he has left each comraifnlity with the same character o: appro-bat ion that, always follows hi- father’s’work before him. ! He is capable of rising to the sublim ! e t heights in pulpit orat ry and his j earnestness carries con viction to the i beifovitr and unbeliever alike of the man’s thorough and sincere belief in the .doctrines of Christianity. Tho>e who fail to aaend the taber nacle meetings this year will mris something. They, will miss .that which will be interesting and entertaining as •well as that which will be uplifting and elevating. They will m-i? 8 the in spiring -presence of a g:.£u-d prebcher ‘and >f the splendid worker under him. j They will miss the splendid singing of • Mr, Cole and his leadership of an ex , cel lent choir.

REVIVAL MEETING IS HELD AT TAYLORSVILLE. The revival meeting recently held at the Taylorsville Methodist church was largely attended in spite of the adverse weather, and resulted in great good to the church and to the com munity. Rev. B. F. Pim, the pastor, did all the preaching and though young in the ministry, he conducted the ser vices with all the ease and efficiency of a veteran in the cause. With intense earnestness and zeal, he labored for the Master day by day, singing, pray ing. preaching, exhorting—sparing himself not, in order that people might be lead to see and realize that there is a higher and better life. Six joined the church, five by pro fession of faith and one by restora tion. LOCAL UNITED STATES MARINE AFLOAT. Ploughing the seven seas on board the superdreadnaught Utah, one of our most powerful and formidable fighting ships, is Isaac T. Baker, of this place. Isaac, who is a son of James Isaac Baker, of Cartersville, enlisted in the United States Marine Corps at its Bir mingham, Ala., recruiting station on March 23, 1916. Marines wear a dis tinctively military uniform and they perform a soldier’s duties while roving the seas aboard shiip. They are al ways first landed when trouble threat ens, and they bear the brunt of the initial fighting. Usually these “sci’diers of the sea” are able to cope with any situation that may arise without hav ing to call in the army to assist. Young Baker already has had many interesting experiences as a member of that gallant organization “the odd est branch of the serv'toe.” NO. 23
