NEXT SUNDAY TO AID
ORPHANS AT DECATUR.
'
Next Saturday is work day for the
Decatur Orphans' Home, and we hope
every member of our church will do
something for this most worthy cause.
God has given us the precious privi
lege of having our little ones with us.
For this we should show our apprecia
tion by a nice contribution. Every
child should show his or her apprecia
tion by a gift for the fact that they
have a father or ‘Another, and in most
cases both, to love and to care for
them.
This collection comes through the
Sunday school. So let me urge all our
peopSe to see that their children have
nice contributions next Sunday morn
ing for the orphans. If you have no
children in the Sabbath school give
your offering to the child of some one
else or bring it yourself.
If all our members will do some
thing for the cause we will roll up a
nice sum for God’s little ones who are
dependent upon somebody's love and
care.
Yours for the orphans,
JOHN G. LOGAN.
DISTINGUISHED VISITORS
HERE AS GUESTS.
Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Mumper, of
Cibana, Ohio, have been the guests
for the past week of Mrs. Sam P.
Jones at' her beautiful home “Rose
Lawn.” They left today for Atlanta
w here they will attend the 6th annual
convention of the Pioneer Telephone
Men of America, of which Mr. Mumper
is a charter member, which convenes
this morning at the Piedmont Hotel.
Mr. Mumper conceived through a
dream the idea of the telephone
switch board which through the inven
tion of expert telephone engineers is
the practical invention of today which
holds the great business world of
North America united by its enormous
systems, as well as that of other
countries.
A most unique character is this re
markable man of 76 years who has
enjoyed, like a boy, the beautiful
drives throughout this section of Geor
gia, on his investigating tours of our
remarkable industries in mills, mines,
stock raising and agriculture—coming
from the remarkable farming section
of central Ohio he is interested in our
many crops made impossible by the
short season of his home climate.
Mr. Mumper was a close friend for
many years of the late Sam Jones, and
he visited Mrs. Jones a number of
times since the death of her husband.
Mrs. Mumper, who accompanies her
husband for the first time on his visits
to Cartersvifle, is a woman of much
CARTERSVILLE, GA., OCTOBER 26, 1918
SHIPPERS URGED
TOMMIE
Car Shortage So Acute All
Requested to Load And
Unload Quickly.
Due to an unprecedented car short
age, J. A. Sams, the division freight
agent of the Nashville, Chattanooga
& St. Louis Ralway and Western &
Atlantic Railroad, has sent out a let
ter to all! agents in this division of
this system urging them to impress
shippers with the promptness of load
ing and unloading equipment furnish
ed them for their use.
Shippers have been complaining for
several months upon the lack of equip
ment and the railroad authorities have
been using every available means to
supply this need. The latter find them
selves, however, up against a proposi
tion of shippers themselves who hold
equipment a needlessly long time.
This operates to diminish the rail
road’s ability to promptly furnish car
equipment.
Certainly Cartersville shippers
should co-operate with the railroad in
every possible way. A daily object les
son is the stacking of barytes along
side the railroad tarcks and at the
mines on account of lack of shipping
equipment in which to load this valu
able mineral. Not only does this oper
ate to prevent a steady inflow of
wealth into the Cartersville district
but it diminishes and limits the profits
arising out of the mining of barytes
inasmuch as ii makes necessary a re
handling of the product, costing a con
siderable amount a ton. This is made
necessary because box cars cannot be
furnished in sufficient quantities to
transport this material away from Car
tersville, and hence, every shipper of
every line of business is interested
and should himself see that it is his
duty to promptly load and unload all
cars coming to •him.
Mr. Sams’ letter to the agents is an
earnest appeal on his part to have the
agents bring this matter to the atten
tion of shippers and a part of his let
ter is as follows:
“We have been checking over some
agency reports at our principal junc
tions and find that the delay to load
ed cars is averaging much more than
would appear to be absolutely neces
sary.
“Every one of our patrons is as vital
ly (interested in our efficiency as we
are ourselves, and every day saved in
unloading means one more car in ser
vice.
“I would be glad, therefore, if you
would make a point of discussing this
feature with everyone on whom you
call, urging them to use extraordinary
efforts in releasing cars at the ear
liest practicable moment.
“As you know, we are in the midst
of what is probably the worst car
shortage we have ever experienced,
with Jhe end not yet in sight. Our
friends should be urged, therefore, to
co-operate with us to the fullest ex
tent by promptly loading and unload
ing so as to make the few T cars that
are available go as far as possible.
"Please see that all shippers and re
ceivers at your station are impressed
with the importance of releasing
equipment as soon as possible. No
doubt the shippers, having experienced
so much difficulty in getting equipment
to load outbound, appreciate that it is
as much to their interest as it is to
ours to hold freight equipment as short
time as possible, but possibly some of
the receivers at your station are not
exerting themselves as they should to
release cars, even before the free time
has expired.
“Yours truly,
“J. A. SAMS, D. F. A."
Under the stress of circumstances,
shippers, whenever possible, should
load or unload cars as quickly as pos
sible, notwithstanding they may have
charm and culture. They think our
state is to be congratulated on the
great advance in road building. The
great state of Ohio has almost a per
fect road system which joins the nu
merous farms and splendid cities
throughout the length and breadth of
the state. After leaving Atlanta Mr.
and Mrs. Mumper will continue the
tour with the Pioneers from Atlanta
on Sunday to Chattanooga. Asheville
and Washington, D. C. Mrs. Jones has
been cordially invited to accompany
them upon their trip as their guest.
DECEMBER ELEGIION
10 CHOOSE CDMMinEE
Democratic Executive Com
mittee To Be Selected
For County.
At the last democratic primary, held
September 12, the democratic voters
were pasting their ballots and adding !
to sufch ballots the names of demo
cratic committeemen of their choice.
This has been the usual method and
the customary time for electing com
mitteemen. For a great number of
years democratic committeemen for j
the county have been selected by the !
voters in the white democratic pri- j
mary winch selects congressmen, rep- j
resentatives and governors, and the
p’esent democratic executive commit
tee, as well as its predecessors in of
fice, have been so selected.
Notwithstanding this, and several
hours after the election had been, in
progress, the managers of the Carters
ville bol were called out of the polling
piace by a then candidate for an of
fice and were "ordered” by him not
to count the ballots cast for commit
teemen,, that such was not the time
to elect committeemen and that “they
were invariably elected at the regular
election following.” The man then left
the polling place, went down to the
street and stated to bystanders that
the effort by democratic voters to elect
committeemen at the time was a
“trick” apd that the effort to elect the
committeemen at the primary instead
o. at the general election was a
scheme of a lot of politicians, and var
ious other wild statements of equal
value.
The fact proves to be that never
within thfe history of the party in Bar
tow counly, within the memory of any I
man of sqund and virile memory, have
democratic. committeemen been elect
ed at J gerteral election when white
and black, and all others who do not
participate democratic white pri
maries, vote)
But the matter having been over
looked by the democratic executive
committee and being wrongfully ad
vised on election day that committee
men were not to be chosen until the
regular election, the committee now
finds itself unable to elect committee
men at the regular election, but have
called it for the earliest possible date
afterwards, which will be at the elec- j
tion of justices of the peace over the
county.
Hence the notice to be found below:
NOTICE.
Through an over sight in the Bar-;
tow County Democratic Executive j
Committee in calling the primary elec-1
tion last April for county officers it
failed to include in the call an elec
tion for County Democratic Executive
Committeemen, therefore it is hereby
ordered that this ejection be held on
the first Saturday in December, 1916,
at same time the election is being held ,
for Justices of Peace and Bailiffs.
Each district will take notice of this
call and see that their committeemen
are named at above stated time.
Cartersville district is entitled to
two committeemen and other districts
one.
Given under my hand and official
signature, this October 24th, 1916.
J. J. HILL,
Chairman Bartow County Democratic
Executive Committee.
Cartersville, Ga., October 24, 1916.
more time according to the rules of
the road in order to do so. Some
times with no apparent reason than
that they have the time still to their
credit, shippers delay loading or un
loading cars until their full time has
expired and then leave it to the rail
road authorities to discover that the
car is ready to be passed on. Shippers
could facilitate matters and help the
railroads, and thereby help themselves
generally, if they would unload or load
in the shortest length of time possi
ble, and, when they have done so,
promptly notify the railroad authori
ties that the car is ready for move
ment. It is, therefore, not only a mat
ter which could be expedited by the
exercise of diligence but to secure the
greatest percentage of efficiency ship
pers could help in various ways. The
appeal, therefore, at this time is made
tc the shippers and when they have
shown that they are doing all within
their power then a stronger demand
can be made upon the railroad authori
ties.
COUNTY FORCES FOR DIXIE HIGHWAY
GOVERNMENT I FOR EUHIRLEE ROAD
Two Splendid Highways Assured To Rome
And Kingston Route To Be
Taken Up At Once.
One of the most important meetings
held in Cartersville in some time was
that which brought together represen
tatives of Floyd, Cobb and Bartow
counties to devise means and adopt a
program of procedure in order to
bring these counties within the re
quirements of the recently enacted
lew of congress appropriating millions
of dollars for the construction of high
ways.
The meeting as arranged brought
together a majority of the board of
connflissioners of each of the counties
represented and the ultimate action
taken was unanimously adopted.
The meeting was called together in
the office of the county commissioners
at the court house and W. T. Burton
was made chairman and O. T. Peeples
secretary.
M. L. Johnson, of Bartow, was first
called upon and stated that a few days
ago he sought an interview wdth the
prison commission and was furnished
verbal and written information regard
ing procedure as* to what was neces
sary to be done. He stated that the
funds already in hand has been taken
up by allowances fhade six months
ahead and that Bartow county, ancl
the other counties interested, should
at once get busy.
Mr. J. S. Diavis, a member of the
board of commissioners of Floyd
county, made a talk In which he stat
ed that it was necessary for each
county through its commissioners to
make application for funds and aid
to be used in the construction of high
ways and that according to the rules
adopted not more than SIO,OOO a mile
could be spent on any one road. He
stated that first written application
was made for a given unit, finch as a*
road from Rome through Bartow and
Cobb counties on to Atlanta. Upon
this application being made in form,
the prison commission sends an engin
eer over the route to ascertain if the
way is feasible. Upon the engineer re
porting that such road is practicable
and feasible! the prison commission
recommends it to the secretary of ag
riculture at Washington and that then
a federal engineer is sent down, and
upon the proposed road receiving his
approval, the funds are subject to be
drawn upon for this purpose.
A number of talks were made by
various members of the conference, in
cluding a particularly illuminating one
made by Mr. M. B. Eubanks, of Rome,
who recommended that the counties
themselves agree upon the route to
form a unit from Rome to Atlanta.
Euharlee Route Selected.
Upon Bartow and Floyd counties re
tiring for consultation, it was soon as
certained that some difference of opin
ion existed as to which road should be
designated. The Dixie Highway by
way of Kingston on to the Floyd
county line had a number of friends,
while the Euharlee route to the Floyd
county line was also advocated. It
was soon to be seen that there was a
wide difference of opinion existing in
the Bartow- county delegation and,
hence, the Bartow county representa
tive withdrew to themselves for con
sultation.
After the Bartow county delegation
had retired, it was finally unanimously
adopted, the motion being made by
Commissioner J. C. McTier and sec
onded by Commissioner N. M. Adams,
that the road for government aid to
be designated should be that from Car
tersville by way of Euharlee connect
ing up with the Chulio road, and the
No. 1 camp now engaged in construct
ing the Euharlee road should at once
be withdrawn from the work and
placed on the Kingston road of the
Dixie Highway and this road finished
on to the Floyd county line as county
work. This solution of the differences
proved to be altogether satisfactory to
all parties and interests concerned
and was unanimously adopted. There
upon the Bartow county delegation re
turned to the conference and their de
cision was announced.
A motion was adopted to recess un
til after the noon hour when the visit
ing delegates were entertained at
lunch at the Park Hotel by the Car
tersville Chamber of Commerce Upon
reconvening in the afternoon, the fol
lowing resolutions were offered by Mr.
M. B. Eubanks, of Rome, and unani
mously adopted:
“Be it resolved by the Commission
ers of Roads and Revenues of Cobb,
Bartow and Floyd counties in joint
meeting assembled and held at Car
tersville, Ga., on this date, That we
hereby select the following road to
submit to the State Highway Commis
sion, for the aid of said Commission in
building, Towiit, beginning at Second
Avenue Bridge In Rome, Floyd county,
i thence along the Chulio road to the
Bartow county line, thence along the
Euharlee road to Cartersville, thence
tne Dixie Highway to Marietta, from
Marietta to Vlnings Underpass, thence
to Pace bridge over Chattahoochee
river,
“We pledge our several counties to
comply with all the rules and require
ments of the State Highway Commis
sion, as to furnishing the counties’
proportion of the expense of building
said road and agree to maintain the
same as provided by the said Highway
Commission.
“Resolved that a committee of nine
members, consisting of three members
{ from each of the said counties, be and
j are hereby appointed to submit the
foregoing project to the State High
way Commission at the kirliest prac
tical time.”
