yi>ii, 3 IE SMITH MAKES GBtnt SPEECH AND GIEETEDJI CHEAT AUDIENCE Senior Senator From Georgia Makes Many Votes For Democracy on Eve Of Election. Before an audience which taxed the capacity of the superior court room at ttie court house last Monday morning, Senator Hoke Smith delivered one of the most informative, instructive and persausive political speeches ever de livered in Bartow county. Coming to Cartersvilie upon the in vitation of P. C. Flemister, H. R. Max well, T. W. Tinsley, John T. Norris, J. V. Vaughan and W. W. Gala way, Sen ior Smith was granted the use of the court room at 10:30 by Judge Fit*, and held his audience spell bound un til nearly 12:30 in a comprehensive resume of three important pieces of jemocratic legislation, in which the lenator himself had a large part in tbaping. Those who were instrumental in gat ing Senator Smith to come to Car ersville did so for the purpose of rawing out the democratic vote of le county. Many democrats are lulled (to security because of the known urge majority of voters of this faith ■ Georgia and, hence, do not see the ■cessity of casting their ballots. The ■publican party was found to have an ■ganixation and were making a quiet Burt to get out the full party strength, ■d because of the candidacy of Hon. ■alter Akerman for congress, whose ■me is in Cartersville and who has a ■rge personal attachment, a particu ■rly intelligent effort was made to ■pture this county. Realizing this, a ■imber of democrats took the matter ■ hand and decided that a speech by ■tnator Hoke Smith would bring out Be vote. ■ Those who attended the speaking Hi witnessed the large crowd that at ■lded it and observed the enthusias ■ manifestations of approval of the ■dience were confirmed in the opin- Bi that Senator Smith was the right Hm in the right place, and his bril- Hnt. lucid, comprehensive grasp of He issues involved 'in this contest he Hnmunicated to the large crowd of Hters who heard him. ■Senator Smith first tQok up and Heron girl y explained the needs and ■rking operations of the currency passed during the Wilson adminis- Hhon He showed that each regional Hnk, twelve in number, which was twelve largely because of his ■cities, was able to serve the needs H<uii section of the country at that or time of the year when bank- ice:immolations were most need ■ Prior to the enactment of this law, tanks of the south were crippled ■th ref. . nce to their ability to prop ■ finance the cotton crop because Hi I '-'-is were low and the need for ■ n 'V at its highest, and the only for getting money was New ■ r b who could not lend it out or not option.

He explained in detail the ware housing act and the cotton futures act, whereby the original fraudulent con tract, for so long enforced by the New York cotton exchange, was set aside and anew contract put into effect which deals fairly with the cotton grower and the cotton growing sec tion of this country. He claimed credit for the democratic administration pass ing the rural credits bill and claimed that this would be a great boon to farmers who need financial' accommo dations, and predicted that within a short space of time farmers would be able to borrow money through rural banks at five and six per cent interest. He said the democratic administra tion was entitled to the gratitude of the people for keeping this country at peace with the European nations and from being involved in the European war. He stated that it had been made perfectly clear that President Wilson had handled the various questions re garding our diplomatic relations with other counties with rare skill and fore sight, the net result being that this country Was enjoying peace and un excelled prosperity. The audience frequently applauded Senator Smith during the delivery of his address: followed him intently and closely through every proposition urged by him, and making up the crowd were representative citizens from all portions of the county. Among those who attended in large numbers were the Cartersville high school boys and girls, many of whom were treated to their first political speech and who were unanimous in their praise of Sen ator Smith's oratory and splendid presence. f. Immediately after the speaking, Mr. J. W. Vaughan announced that Mr. E. W. Gould had arranged to have a mov ing picture film made of the audience which would be taken as they .left Jehe court room. This was an interesting feature, not ever before witnessed by many in the audience, and as the great ciowd filed out of the court house the photographers were found' on the grounds reeling off pictures of each one which will be reproduced in Car tersville at the Dixie Theatre this week. i ~ J. D. PITTARD BADLY INJURED IN COTTON GIN ACCIDENT. The many friends of Mr. J. D. Pit tard, of Cassville, have teamed with regret of the serious personal injuries received by him while engaged in gin ning cotton at Cassville week before Last, from whioh he suffered the ampu tation of his hand and serious body lacerations. Mr. Pittand was at the time of his injury actively ginning cotton and was at the time about the saws. In some way his hand was caught and his en tire body pulled in over the saws. He would undoubtedly have been killed but for a slipping of the belt at this time which saved him from fatal in juries. He was able to sound an alarm which brought to him Mr. Paul Pit tard who was firing and who cut off the machinery at once. Running to Mr. Jim Pittard, he was found to be laying over the saws and blood gush dng from his several wound®. He was at once removed to the home of Mr. W. D. Pittard, his brother, his wife being away on a visit to south Geor gia. Medical aid was summoned and Dr. R. E. Wilson, of White, and Dr. A. B. Greene, of Cartersville amputat ed the hand just above the wrist. His other injuries were treated 1 and thiis required considerable skill. Mr. Pittard is getting along as com fortably as can be expected just at present and has doubtless passed a dangerous crisis and will likely be able to be out within a few weeks. The many friends of this genial and popular citizen; while greatly regret ting the painful and serious injuries he has received, take comfort in the fact that his life was spared and with in a short time he will be able to take his place in the business and social • . - 1 world. CARTERSVILLE, GA., NOVEMBER 9, 1916 IT'S WILSON, HALLELUJAH! IFS OEMIGBACT, AMEN. Western States Join the Solid South And Overwhelm the East In a Thrilling Contest With Result Unknown Until Thursday. Final result depended on the result in California and Minnesota where the democratic standard bearer proves to have been strong beyUnd all expectations and which turned defeat into victory, giving Wilson 274 votes in the electoral college without Minnesota. The general election of Tuesday, No vember 7, 1916, will be remembered as one which has furnished more thrills than any within the memory of most men living. Georgia held true to its old time traditions and sentiments and turned an increased majority for the democratic nominees, both state and national. Bartow county likewise adhered to its traditional democratic sentiments and turned out an increased democra tic vote. Not even the presence of Hon. Walter Akerman on the republican ticket as a congressional candidate was sufficient to wean away or entice the democratic hosts from the polls nor sufficient temptation to keep them from taking their democracy straight. Gordon Lee received a majority of 838 in the county while Woodrow Wil son secured 907 more votes than Hughes. The balance of the democratic ticket GOULD SOLE OWNER OF DIXIE THEATRE. E. W. Gould has purchased the in terest of A. G. White in the Dixie Theatre and thereby becomes the sole owner and proprietor of this popular place of amusement. When Messrs. Gould and White en gaged in the business of furnishing their patrons in Cartersville and sur rounding territory motion pictures, the business had not developed to the im portance which it enjoys today and it was considered to be somewhat of a hazardous undertaking for a business enterprise. However, through the pro gressive views of these two gentlemen their programs each day attracted and delighted a constantly increasing clientelle. To this business Mr. Gouild gave his entire time and attention and studied every detail as well as the de sires of his This firm has thus become one of the best known motion picture theatrical houses in Georgia. Mr. White’s varied business interests and the callil for his services in connec tion with the establishment of anew garage In Cartersville and his activi ties as the agent of the Ford Motor Company, made it necessary that he retire from the theatre business, and Mr. Gould, realizing what had already been done and confident that the busi ness has a still yet more promising future, readily purchased his interest. The same policy which has charac terized the Dixie Theatre in the past will continue to be followed in the future with renewed efforts upon the part of Mr. Gould to furnish amuse ments daily of a character that appeals to permanent public patronage. ssBHBfIfIiUHIfIHIHHMIHHHfIHfIHII * ' /jfffajalij v \ j' • h:, 1 | if - p * E W. GOULD, Owner of Dixie Theatre was unopposed and hence that which brought so many of the faithful to cast their ballots was the opportunity to put in a vote of endorsement for these two able and faithful! public servants. On Tuesday night all was gloom for the democratic national ticket. But Wednesday morning returns from the western states completely reversed the situation until the last few votes necessary to put the successful candi date over refused to come for either. For a while it looked like Wilson, then again it looked Hughes, then back to Wilson until it narrowed down to Min nesota and California. These states backed and filled showing one and then the other in the Sead until Thurs day night it was officially declared that Wilson had been elected. And you ought to been a democrat and experienced the exhillration and thrill' of a hard fought victory. STANFORD BROS. SELL TO A. D. GILBERT. Mr. A. D.

PROSPECTS GOOD FOR NITRATE PLANT TO BE EOGATED ON ETOWAH RIVER Senator Smith And Congressman Lee Visit Site And Are Greatly Impressed With Its Feasibility. The visit of Senator Hoke Smith to C artersville last Monday made more promising the prospects of the Etowah river power site being accepted by the United States government as a plaoe for the location of the twenty million dollar nitrate plant which has been authorized by congress. The coming of Senator Smith brought also Congressman Gordon Lee, and together with Mr. T. E. Grafton, of Rome, Captain Smith. U. S. A., of Rome, Mr. T. W. Lee, of Ohickamauga, Mr. T. S. Shope, of Dalton, and eeveraJi Cartersville citizens including Messrs, li. R. Maxwell, T. W. Tinsley, Mayor Pattfi Gilreath, P. C. Flemister, B. C. Sloan, L. W. Reeves, J. W. Vaughan, J. T. Norris, O. T. Peeples and others, an automobile trip was made up the Etowah river iiu order to give Senator Smith an opportunity to view the phy sical location of this great power. Senator Smith did not in any wls* commit himself, either for or against the proposition, but dt was apparent to all who accompanied him that he was very much impressed with the feasibility of this location for a nitrate plant. He made inquiries concerning the amount of power to be developed, the amount of territory to be flooded, the cost of the dam and various other features which are to be considered as having a relation to the matter in hand. Those who went with Mr. Smith, iudluding Mr. lee, were able to furnish him with a vast amount of information, much of which is covered in a govern ment report .issued by M ajor Ferguson several years ago and which was made at the instance of Congressman Lee at the time. This report goes into great detail and shows that with a dam 180 feet high built at the site of the old Cooper monument, or a little this RECKLESS DRIVERS CAUSE BAD ACCIDENT. • Clarence Donahoo, the young son of Mr. Nat Donahoo, together with a boy by the name of Evans, upon last Fri day were engaged in hauling a load of oil to Parrott Springs mines of Thompson & Welman Company. As he was proceeding witih his wagon and load up the grade approaching the Sneticher place, behind him were rac ing tw f o wagons, one driven by a ne gro by the name of Noah Fletcher and another driven by Clarence Smith, white. These two drivers were en gaged in an effort to overtake the one the other and so heedless of other users of the road, the negro ran into the wagon driven by young Donahoo, threw the boys out and toppling over from the wagon the heavy barrel of oil which rolled down upon young Donahoo. He succeeded in pushing the barrel away from him without its hav ing rendered any serious injuries to hilm while the other wagon driven by Smith rushed around the Donahoo dray and ran over young Donahoo who was prostrate ui>on the ground. His leg was badly mangled and for awhile it was feared that the boy’s life was in danger. He was, however, tak en to his home, medical and surgical aid summoned and his injuries, while painful and serious, are not necessar ily fatal. The reckless drivers of the two wagons who caused the accident have been arrested and will be called upon to answer for their acts in court. gilstrap baby wins prize. We are authorized by the Fair As sociation to say that the publication appearing in last week’s Tribune re lating to the baby show incorrectly re- I>orted the prize to the handsomest hoy baby between six and twelve months as having been awarded to Mrs. Henry Gossett’s child, when, in fact, the prize was awarded to the young son of Mrs. S. B. Gilstrap. The Tribune followed the copy furnished It by the fair officials and the mistake appears to have been made in the of fice of the Fair* Association. Both babies were bright and prize winning examples of babyhood, but it appears that the award was really made to the ! Gilstrap ctiikl. side, 123,000 horse power can be de veloped and a storage of water pro vided for which woulld not only fur nish power, but which would serve the double purpose of making navigable at Vow stages the Coosa river, and this in turn would have a great beneficial effect in providing transportation and low freight rates to the gtllf. It was shown that our close proxi mity to the Ducktown Copper mines would enable us to easily pipe sul phuric acid into Cart ersvii lie, whioh with nitrate acid would form two of the elements which enter largely into the making of fertilizer. With cheap IKiwer and with the two elements men tioned so readily at hand and the cen tralization of fertilizer manufacture in tihe heart of the southern states, would necessarily lead to very much lessen the cost of commercial fertiliz er to the people of the south who are the greatest users of fertilizers of any section of the country. Senator Smith stated that the mat ter was one which would be looked into by the board of army engineers appointed by President Wilson and that (it woullid be his pleasure to bring to the attention of this board, and at the proper time to the president him self, the claims of superiority set forth for the Etowah river power. A pleasant hour was spent up the river and when the party returned to Cartersville Senator Smith and Mr. Lee were visited by scores of Carters ville citizens who sought to make these two able members of congress remem j her pleasantly their visit. The Chamber of Commerce of Car tersville entertained Senator Smith at a luncheofi given at the Park Hotel be fore the trip to the Etowah river was made, J ADVERTISING ASSOCIATION POST PRIZE PICTURE.
