m lE* UNDERPASS
Work At Puckett’s Cross
ing Begins And To Be
Rapidly Pressed.
For' many years the need of an ua
krpass at Puckett’s crossing, a sur
face crossing over the Western & At
lantic Railway within the corporate
"mils of Cartersville, has been univer
}v recognized. It has been the scene
ma ny near accidents and not a few
real accidents.
Several attempts have been made to
ruke the needed change but all to no
avail until, at a meeting of the Pettit’s
Creek Fanners Club held at the home
o i\y. H. Lumpkin last spring, the mat
ter was brought up. It was then de
cided to appoint a committee to again
mice the matter up. On the committee
was appointed Rev. L. G. Hames, pas
-101 of the First Presbyterian church,
,1 Cartersville, M. L. Johnson, repre
sentative to the general assembly

fcpy got in touch with the board of

Bertaking would be too expensive,

Ba,cud officials would not undertake

Bi.missioners to do the excavation.

FOR SPLENDID SERVICE
BOARD 10 BE DIRER
Cartersville Business Men
To Give Luncheon To
County Commissioners.
A movement is on foot to honor the
retiring board of commissioners of
toads and revenues of Bartow county
v ith a luncheon to be given by the
business men of Cartersville during
the first week in December. The exact
date, time and place' have not been
definitely fixed but enough is known
to warrant the publication of the fact
that the present board will be thus
toasted and that the members of the
incoming board will be guests of
honor.
Many citizens of Cartersville, ap
preciating the splendid service which
the present board has rendered this
county in the construction of good
roads, the sacrifice of time and effort
each member has given to their duties
and the difficulties under which they
labored, have determined that some
mark of appreciation should be shown
them and that the members individ
ually and collectively should be caused
to know that their services are appre
ciated and that their work in the of
fice has been well done.
Bartow county can now begin to
claim the possession of good roads.
The Allatoona highway is considered
the best stretch of road between At
lanta and Chattanooga. This road was
planned and almost fully executed
while B. B. Branson, of Kingston, was
a member of the board, but has been
rendered yet more complete and ser
viceable through the efforts of Chair
man W. T. Burton of the present
board, with the co-operation of the
other members of the board.
Another splendid highway which has
been built during the tenure of the
present board is known as the Euhar
lee road. Beginning at Pettit’s creek
near the lime kiln, this road has been
made of a uniform width of thirty feet
through to the Floyd county line.
Scores of sharp angles have been tak
en out and the road made straighter
and much safer. Many steep grades
have been reduced and others alto
gether avoided through the taking of
another course. Particularly is this
true in the 17th district through the
iron ore property of the Virginia Coal
& Coke Company near Ligon.
Another splendid highway is that
which has been built from Tayolrsville
to Pettit’s creek where it intersects
with the Euhariee road from Carters
ville. At this point the work was nec
essarily stopped on account of the fail
ure to secure needed rights of way to
change the course of the road in order
to avoid angles and to secure more
directness.
In all other respects the hoard of
commisisoners have nobly met the re
sponsibilities of their place and
through trying times and difficult sit
uations have rendered the county val
uable and progressive service and the
luncheon to be given, will be an ex
pression of approval and confirmation.

CHRISTIAN CHURCH ORGANIZATION ’
HOLD THERMAL MELTINGS
Baptist Convention And Presbyterian
Synod Have Met And North Georgia
Methodist Conference Now In Session
Rev. L. G. Hames attended the
Synod of Georgia at Dalton last week.
Avery successful meeting of the
Synod was held with all the members,
about 120, present. The Synod, amopg
ether things, put in two new evangel
ists to take care of the destitute places
of the state, and a Sunday school evan
gelist to work exclusively in the Cher
okee Presbytery.
The duty of the Sunday school evan
gelist will be to go into the mountain
regions and organize Sabbath schools.
The Synod went on record as hearti
ly favoring education to prevent lynch
ing in the state.
Tuesday morning the North Georgia
Conference convened at Griffin and
Methodist preachers 1 from north and
middle Georgia are in attendance.
The Sam Jones Memorial Methodist
church wound up its matters last Mon
day with a quarterly conference. At
this conference reports were made
fiom pastor, board of stewards, Sun
d.ay school officers, missionary socie
ties and various other members of the
official boards and societies. Last year
proved to be one of the most flourish
ing and substantially financial records.
Not only were the regular assessments
met promptly by the church, but the
societies reported a greater amount of
voluntary contributions than ever be
fore. A pleasing and happy ending of
the meeting was the announcement by
John P. Adair, chairman of the board
of stewards, that the board had de
cided to give both the pastor, Rev.
John G. Logan, and the presiding
elder, Rev. S. B. Ledbetter, more sal
ary than they had agreed at the first
of the year to give. It was understood
that Mr. Logan was given two hundred
dollars more than he had labored
throughout the year believing he was
tc get, and that Mr. Ledbetter was
given a substantial raise bv this
church, his salary coming from all the
churches of the Dalton district.
Rev. S. B. Ledbetter, presiding elder
and a member of the Bishop’s cabinet
during this conference, with Rev. John
G Logan and the various other Meth
odist ministers of the county, left
early Tuesday morning for Griffin.
CARTERSVILLE HIGH
CONTINUES TO WIN.
The C. H. S. football team put up a
beautiful game before a small but ap
preciative crowd last week at Jones
field in their contest wijh Darlington*
of Rome. Cartersville won by a score
of 22 to U.
They play Cedartown Friday and a
good crowd should turn out to see our
boys show their skill and powers.
IT WAS A GREAT GAME AND
A NEAR ROUGH HOUSE.
Just after the second touch down
vas made by Cartersville in the game
with Darlington last Friday it was
found that a general fight was in pro
gress and this served to give every
body who attended something extra
for their money.
Wiley for Cartersville had oarried
the ball over for a touch down. This
was done after a great effort with
r Tactically every player on top of him.
Knowing someway that he was over
with the ball (we know not how he
knew it) he attempted to hand the
ball to Clarence Shaw, the referee.
Just here hostilities begun. Beginning
in a peculiar manner it grew and grew
in peculiar development as it proceed
ed. Supposedly believing Wiley had
furr.b'ed the ball, when in fact he was
parsing it to the referee to get it out
o! the play, as he should, two Darling
ton boys ‘became engaged in a fight
with each other in their effort to get
it and blinded by the mixup, the fall
ing of the goal posts which they ran
over and the general' disturbance
which consisted of about twenty-two
boys and two or three officials of the
game all in a heap on the ground they
evidently did not identify each other
as being on the same side. Seeing a
fight in progress the umpire ‘-kioked
in” and attempted to pull one of the
boys off the other. In the meantime
Rev. C. L. McGinty and Mr. J. J.
Conner represented the First Baptist
church at the Georgia Baptist Conven
tion held at Commerce last week. Only
about 350 delegates were present at
the convention, making it one of the
smallest ever held, but in the spirit of
the meeting and the harmony that
prevailed it was one of the greatest.
The convention sermon was preach
ed by Dr. D. W. Key, of Monroe, and
next year Dr. J. \V. Lynch, o* Athens
is to preach the convention sermon.
The most important business trans
acted was the appointment of a com
mittee of five a year ago to look into
some plan by which the debt on the
educational institutions, the hospital
and orphans’ home might be relieved
and to make their report this year and
recommend a plan by which all the
debts might, be put into one and then
start a campaign for the raising of the
entire amount. The money to be
raised is to be subscribed. The var
ious institutions are to turn over their
properties into the hands of a com
mittee of seven who are to have en
tire control. The committee of five is
to look after the debt raising cam
paign and the committee of seven is
to have control.. The institutions most
concerned are Mercer University, at
Macon, Bessie Tift college, at Forsyth,
several other secondary schools, the
Baptist hospital and the orphans’
home. There is a debt on the purchase
price of the hospital of $90,000 and a
new building at the orphans’ home
this year which amounts to $25,000"
The object was the pooling of all
these debts and starting a camipaign
for raising the entire amount.
The convention w'as Invited to hold
their next meeting at Cartersville but
Xewnan asked for the convention, also,
and as it has only been eleven years
since Cartersville had the convention
and thirty since it was. held at New
nan, it was decided that Newman had
the better claim. Then, too, the con
vention has been held in North Geor
gia for the past five years and Newnan
being farther south was given the
preference. m *
some fifteen or eighteen boys were all
mixed up in an untied knot on the
ground while above them a fast per
sonal battle was in progress. Just
here Norman Shaw arose, and some
what “addled” but seeing the umpire,
a Rome man, engaged in what he
thought was a fight with a team mate,
proceeded to belt him a blow. This
was altogether unexpected by the um
pire, who proved to be Herchel Grif
fin, a former Bartow county boy, but
just here Ralph Reeves took a hand
and livened up the affair by assuming
that the umpire was fighting a Car
tersville man, and loyal to his side,
and believing that if a fight was the
game he could play that too, he en
gaged himeslf with the umpire. Then
Wiley had just arisen, much begrimed,
blinded and staggering under the
blows of heels, the interference of
dirt and various forms of humanity,
he struck out for whatever he could
hit. Using his nose guard he happened
to hit Norman Shaw over the head.
By this time Coach Bennett Con--
yers undertook to straighten things
out, even if he had to whip the whole
thing, started in and in a little while'
pushed his players out on the field to
play football instead of fighting. The
gallery seemed to be indifferent and
many expressions of approval in favor
of fighting were heard.
But “who struck Billy Patterson"
was never a greater unsolved mystery
than the fight. It seemed to have
started about nothing and only proved
that football players will fight when
slightly provoked.

“BARE HANDS GRIP SUCCESS
BETTER THAN KID GLOVES.”
“Starting at the bottom” and “think
ing beyond your job” are pithy sayings
of America’s greatest business suc
cess.
By the way, young man, or young
woman, it will richly reward you to
read, “Succeeding With What You
Have” if you will endeavor to become
conqueror over will and go with vim
at the thing you are trying at.
There are all kinds of definitions of
what is success, and while The Trib
une would not venture to offer anoth
er yet we point with some admiration
to the bunch of local citizens who
have, and are doing so much for Bar
tow county and its individuals.
On our pages we print this week,
in different places, a recent statement
of the local Building & ix>an society,
and their advertisement of “money to
loan, with advantages to you.” When
a concern that has built over 100
houses in the county, purchasing a
great number of farms for our citizens,
managing its affairs so successfully,
giving back to the borrower and its
members, a division of the net profits
twice a year, we must reward them
with praise.
These men will tell you, that a
plan, and saving is the main thing;
that stock or investment in the in
stallment shares of this association
keeps a fellow adding to his pile. If
he is a member he must be building
all the time to this foundation; if he
gets out he must take ail he has.
If you are a member, you are a
growing member.
If you are not a member, you may
not be the master of self —have no
plan.
Do not let another opportunity pass,
but become one of the many who have
subscribed to the new November in
vestment series.
Look at the statement.
Then the ad.
Take ten shares.
BOX SUPPER.
There will be a box supper at Em
erson school building, Saturday night,
November 25, 1916. Everybody is in
vited. The proceeds are to be used for
benefit of the school.
HOLIDAY DISPLAY
CONSIDERED LIKELY
Merchants Plan To Agiin
Furnish Enter tainment
During Holidays.
In all probability Cartersville mer
chants and business houses will
entertain their patrons with a Christ
mas Tree and Holiday Display during
the holidays.
The matter is in the hands of a
committee composed of P. C. Flemis
ter, E. G. Shaw, Geo. L. Gaines and J.
M. Field, Jr., and these gentlemen are
canvassing the situation and will an
nounce conclusions within the next
two or three days.
It will be remembered that last year
the merchants gave a grand holiday
display of their stores and stocks of
merchandise, engaged a band to dis
course music, interested the children
of Che public schools in the singing of
the Christmas Carols and erected a
beautiful tree on the square which
vas beautifully illuminated. The
streets and ways of Cartersville were
decorated and hundreds of lights made
brilliant the business portion of the
town.
It is believed by many that a simi
lar entertainment this year would
bring thousands to Cartersville and
inspire a world of Christmas sipirit.
The children have been found to be
enthusiastic over the prospect of hav
ing it repeated and want to join again
in the singing of the carols.
The committee has some new ideas
of decoration and illumination and if
a sufficient amount of co-operation is
found to exist the entertainment will
! be repeated again this year and puL
on with a much more elaborate effect
Cartersville merchants want to keep
the buying at home. They have pre
pared for it a.nd furnish every assur
ance that they are more able than
eTr to meet, and even come below,
prices of all articles suitable for
Christmas giving.
DEMURRAGE CHARGES
GREATLY INCREASED,
The following order increasing the
demurrage rate on the use of car load
shipments will be put into effect De
; eember 1, and shippers will take due
notice of its contents. It will be ob
served that there is not only an in
crease of one dollar for the first day
a car is held overtime but a gradual
increase up to five dollars a day for
cars held four, days after the expira
tion of the free time:
• *
To AW Agents and Representatives:
A* information, I beg to advise that
we are today publishing, effective De
cember Ist, a revised scale of demur
rage charges fn line with the recom
mendation of the American Railway
Association. After making the usual
allowance of forty-eight hours free
Urne these charges will' then become
as under: , .
First day, $2.00 per car. t ?
Second day, $3.00 per car. "* r
Third day, $4.00 per car.
Fourth day and all succeeding days,
$5.00 per car.
It would be well for you to call the
particular attention of receivers to
this charge so that they will not be
caught unawares.
You will understand that these in
creased penalties are not inaugurated
for the purpose of earning additional
revenue, but in the hope that cars will
because of them be more promptly re
leased than heretofore, thereby work
ing to the best interests not only of
the carriers but of the shippers as
well. The latter should be urged to re
lease cars within the first twelve
hours of daylight after placement,
since every car so released means
another car available for service.
