VOL. 6 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, the secretary of the Fair Association GWINNETT CATTLE DON’T LIKE AUTOS i Two young Cartersville business nien have had added to their know ledge and listed among their exper iences some personal 'information as to the ferocious natures of Gwinnett county bovines which will cause them to be cautious hereafter when ap proaching a. herd of cattle —in Gwin ®ett county. Motoring toward Can vrsville last Sunday evening after a pleasant jour ney spent in “seeing Georgia” and leisurely gliding along the smooth but •'arrow lanes that characterize the •oads of Gwinnett, a brilliant light dazing the way, they saw ahead three, four or five and perhaps more yearl •ogs. W. H. Lumpkin and Robt. Knight little wot that these could be savage natures. To. them, accustomed as they "ere to Bartow county kine, “bossy” ,a & a long suffering, gentle and con cerate animal. Hence, they gave lit •ie thought toward any lurking danger and "never dreamed” that their pas nnae in a Buick would be resisted. Imagine their surprise, therefore, v hen one of the herd placed herself, himself, (we will never know) in . r ° ni °f the car and advanced as if or she demanded of these two j Grangers to halt and give the oounter ■-’ They did slow up, and indeed !’■ ’"ather than, run over a poor, gen* ' e ' ou ng cow.

By this time Bob '* ■ had an idea that trouble w#s and or( j e red, with a bn ! 5 °' Ce for the animal to desist, PParently not satisfied with the 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.'

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.

Phone 26-2, Cartersville, Ga. > % 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 ment, which he did. And yet they were told that cows do not do that, way in this country hut they stick to the story and reallv are in earnest in giving the narrative. And now we have given to you as it was given to ns.

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 Official Returns of Primary Election, September 12, 1916.

The pastor of the Presbyterian church heard hfrfl speak recently at a meeting of Presbytery and tfas so impressed with his mes sage that he invited him to speak to the people of Cartersville.

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 contract was awarded to R. W. & E. W. Smith.

When finished, furnished and equipped it will be a building upon which $ 15,00*0.00 will have been spent. The city hall is to be p’aced on the city’s lot on the corner of Erwin and Church streets. Facing Erwin street, it will also have an attractive entrance on Church, is to be two stories and modernly arranged and equipped. It is believed that a bond issue for sewerage to the amount of $75,000 will be submitted at the meeting of the hoard Thursday night. 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. W. D. TRIPPE. ; NO 30
