WOMEN VOLUNTEER SERVICES IN
MAKING FAIR GREAT SUCCESS
Organized Effort to Make First Day a Record
Attendance And State Decides to
Co-operate With an Exhibit.
The women of Cartensville and Bar
county have determined to co-op
erate in making the county fair a suc
cess this year by selling tickets to the
fair and the various women’s organiza
tions have voluntarily enlisted for the
j.urpose of bringing about a big attend
ance on the first day. The plan is to
pit.-ent an attractive card of admis
sion and to actively solicit the sales of
entrance. Presenting the plan to .Mr.
Pyion, the secretary of the associa
tion, he readily agreed and thanked
them for the tender of their services.
Heretofore not any effort has been
made to sell tickets and those who at
tended merely carnet -to the fair
grounds upon their own motion and
•paid for each number of tickets as
they wanted. This time everybody will
he waited upon by the women, and it
is safe to say that their persuasive ap
peals will very greatly increase the
number of tickets sold and the larg
est number ever attending the fair
will he present on the first day as a
direct result of the efforts put forth
by the women.
Veterans Day.
Extraordinary preparations are be
ing made, also, to make interesting
and attractive Confederate Veterans
Day. This will be on Thursday of fair
week and the Daughters of the Confed
eracy have arranged an attractive pro
gram and will make every provision
for the comfort and enjoyment of all
the veterans. This has always been
the big day at the fairs heretofore held
and it is safe to say that there will be
no diminution in the crowds which
will come out to pay tribute to veter
ans who will be present on this occas-<
ion. As heretofore, Confederate Veter
ans will have free entrance to the fair
grounds and every other attention and
courtesy will be paid them. It is earn
estly hoped that every veteran who
can posishly do so will attend the fair
on this day and take part in the cere
monies and exercises.
State Exhibit.
A greet feature of the county fair
will be the state live stock exhibit out
of the state farm. Mr. Ruohs Pyron,

Two young Cartersville business

Motoring toward Can vrsville last
Sunday evening after a pleasant jour

THE BARTOW TRIBUNE
has arranged with the state authori-!
ties to bring this splendid exhibit to !
Cartersville and to have it on the fair ,
grounds during the entire four days.
There are many .advantages- to be de
rived from this arrangement and Mr.
Pyron is to be congratulated upon se
curing ii/t and the agricultural college
is to be commended for permitting us
the privilege of making it a feature of
our .county fair.
Included in this exhibit will be a
complete herd of Hereford*, two typi
cal Jerseys, two typical Hoi steins, and
an exhibit of pure bred Percheron
mares. The exhibit will be in charge
of Mr t Ross- Ml Gridley and, aside from
the interest which it will convey to
spectators, it will have a highly educa
tional value. Accompanying the exhibit
will be live stock experts from the
college who wf'l be able to furnish a
world of information to those who are
already engaged in the li’ve stock in
dustry, as well as to those who con
template entering it.
Those who attend the fair this year
should not overlook the opportunity to
view this exhibit. Those who have live
stock, cattle, horses, hogs and the var
ious other members of the animal
creation, should not fail to add to the
interest of this department this year
by making exhibits of their own.
The Baby Show.'
Will all mothers who expect to 'en
ter their children in the Baby Show
at the Bartow County Fair, please
send the name and age, together with
your address, to me at once, or within
the next week?
Babies from six months to sixty
months 1 (5 years) old are eligible. The
prizes in each class are $2.50 for first,
and sl.oo' for second.
The day is Friday, October 13, and
I am anxious to have all entries in by
October 10 if possible, and expect more
babies than in any previous year.
Thanking every one interested in
our Baby Show for their kind and
prompt co-operation, I am,
Cordially yours,

destruction wrought and being still
a'ive after the impact, another dive
was made for the car and this time the
lender was struck and made fast to
the front wheel.
This was rather a harder blow, so
hard that the animal was made pros
trate by its own fierceness and mad
ness. But in a moment it arose and
gamboled gaily toward the woods.
The next morning Mr. Lumpkin ex
hibited his car to his friends. He des
cribed with great minuteness of detail
the place, hour and how his car would
never look the same again. Relating
this to dubious ears, he called friend
Knight down to verify his every state

told that cows do not do that, way in

CAPT. J. J. CALHOUN RECEIVES
COTTON GINNING REPORT.
*
A report on the ginning of cotton
throughout the United States received
by Capt. J. J. Calhoun shows that al
ready a greater number of bales of
cotton, have been ginned than in the
four years past. There has been gin
ned up to Septemiher Ist in Georgia
212,754 hales as against 133,408 bales
in 1915, 136,286 in 1914, and 72,352 in
1913. This is due, perhaps, to the early
maturity of the crop of 1916. It ds
known that the crop will be short and,
hence, the later reports will begin to
show that the other years have been
better than this one, although the first
report; without am 'understandiing of
conditions, would indicate that this

CONTRACT FOR NEW CITY HALE '
AWARDED TO CARTERSVILLE BIDDERS
Structure To Cost $11,840 With Plumbing
And Wiring Done Separately —Cor-
ner Erwin and Church Streets.
Bids for the new city hail were open
ed at the office of the mayor Wednes
day and R. W. & E. W. Smith were
found to be the lowest and best bid
ders at the figure of $11,840.00. This
figure does not include the lighting,
wiring, and plumbing, this work to he
done by the city itself after the mater
ial is separately bought.
■ There was a big variance in the bid
ding, nearly $5,000 difference was rep
resented between the low and the high
bidder.
The bjds were to be in by noon Wed
nesday, accompanied by a certified
check for 5 per cent of the amount of
the bid. When the bids were opened
they were found to run as follows:
C. Shelverton $16,135.00.
,T. F. Dupree Sons & Cos. $13,700.00.
j. E. FIELD 8 SON TO I
CHARGE FOR HANDLING;
The firm of J. E. Field & Son an
nounce that they will hereafter charge
ten cents a hale for 'handling cotton as
done by the other cotton dealers of
Cartersville.
Messrs. Field & Son announced last
j ear that they would not make this
charge and did not do so through the ,
cotton season of 1915-16. Asa matter ;
of fact, the farmers themselves, having
cotton for sale, continued to dispose
of their cotton in large part’to dealers
who were, making this charge and
without reference to this firm’s agree
ment not to charge. Naturally, Mr.
Fiedd feels that inasmuch as the cot
ton producer is indifferent about this
charge, he should Join hi with the oth
er dealers and have a uniformity of,
j dealing in cotton,.
1 There has been more contention and
strife over this feature among the cot- j
ton dealers themselves than anything I
else and this has, perhaps, hurt Car
tersville some as a market; but with i
all the dealers now making a uniform ,
charge, there seems no reason why a (
big volume of business should not be j
done in Cartersville with this com- j
modify.
J. H. WOFFORD NAMED TO
LOCATE HISTORIC SIT £S.
Mr. J. H. Wofford has been appoint
ed by the Sons of Confederate Veter
ans organization on the committee to
report and locate historic sites and is
gathering data to be forwarded to
headquarters concerning the historic
locations in Bartow county.
This is an important assignment of
duty to be performed by Mr. Wofford
and every veteran of the Civil war, or
any patriotic citizen of Bartow county
knowing of the historic sites of this
county should promptly inform Mr.
Wofford. The people of tire county are
interested in making public these plac
es since so many tourists seek out
such places in their motor trips
through our section.
The location of these places will ulti
mately lead to the marking of such
six>ts and plotting and laying them off
through organized work. One of the
attractions of a great highway is the
number of histxfrtc spots and places of
incident and story.
Mr. Wofford will gladly welcome the
aid and help of all in ascertaining the
many points of war history in this
county and is seeking all the informa
tion obtainable in this respect.
To the people of Bartow .county:
I hereby extend to those friends who
voted for and assisted me, my heart
iest and sincerest thanks. To those
who did not, I nave only the friendliest
feelings. To all I want to say that I
shall be the county’s and state's rep
resentative. As such, I shall be glad
to consider our public affairs with any
one of my fellow citizens and be the
representative of tihe whole people, as
I shall stand for the upbuilding of my
county and state.
Sincerely yours,
M. L. JOHNSON.
T. C. Wesley $13,700.00.
R. W. & E. W. Smith $11,840.00.

the contractors are ready to proceed
with the work at once and within a
short space of time Cartersville is to

equipped it will be a building upon
which $ 15,00*0.00 will have been spent.

city’s lot on the corner of Erwin and
Church streets. Facing Erwin street,
it will also have an attractive entrance

24 SCIENTISTS SWORN
AS FEDERAL OFFICERS.
Washington, September 19. The
navy civilian consulting board, com
posed of twenty-four of the nation’s
most eminent scientists and engineers,
took its place today as a legalized bu
reau of the navy department, and the
names of its members, headed by
Thomas A. Edison as chairman, were
placed on the rolls under a recent act
of congress as “officers of the United
l States government.”
I The hoard’s inauguration was at
' tended by impressive ceremonies held
, in the office of Secretary Daniels. The
i highest ranking officers of the depart
; ment were present and welcomed their
! r.ew comrades to the naval service.
' Secretary Daniels, speaking as adminr
istrative head of the navy, declared
that the occasion, signified a great
j strengthening for the nation’s first line
(of defense and gave renewed promise
* for the restoration of American pres
' tige on the seas.
Immediately upon taking the oath of
j office the board members effected a
! permanent official organization. Mr.
Edison was elected chairman; William
L. Saunders, of the American. Institute
of Mining Engineers, and Dr. Peter C.
Hewitt, of the Inventors’ Guild, both of
New York City, were selected as vice
chairmen, and Thomas Robbins, of the
Inventors’ Guild, was appointed secre
tary.
Preliminary plans for the $1,500,090
navel alboratory to be built under the
board’s direction were discussed and a
committee of six was appointed to in
vestigate and report on a suitable
site. No time was fixed, but it was said
the work would be expedited with a
view of beginning actual construction
as soon as possible. The committee
was composed of Mr. Edison., Mr. Rob
bins, W. R. Whitney, L. H. Baekeland,
Frank J. Sprague and Lawrence Ad
dicks.
Howard E. Coffin, of Detroit, an
nounced that the committee, which has
been surveying industrial resources
with a view of mobilizing them in time
of war, practically had completed its
work and would report soon. The sur
vey was nation-wide to its scope, Mr.
Coffin said, and had been made in 00-
opeartion with the leading business
men of the country.
Secretary Daniels and most of the
board members left tonight on the
naval yacht Dolphin to witness target
practice maneuvers of the Atlantic
fleet on the southern drill grounds.
They will arrive off the Virginia capes
tomorrow morning and will be taken
aboard' one of the great dread naughts
during the practice.
To the peoplpe of Bartow county:
I deeply apprecite the very extra
ordinary vote given me in the primary
of last week and desire to extend my
heartfelt thanks to my friends in all
parts of the county who so cordially
supported) me. My conscience will be
my guide and I trust that the result of
my servicejn the legislature will be
such as will meet with the approval of
my fellow citizens.
