VGL, a
SERIOUSLY INJURED
IN FOOT BALL GAME
Lewis Peeples Submits To
Operation As Result Of
Friday’s Play.
During the progress of a game of
fcotball between the Cartersville High
school and Darlington last Friday,
M. Peeples was seriously hurt
and is now confined in a hospital at
Atlanta where he was operated on Sat
urday night.
It was during the last quarter of the
game when the Cartersville team at
tempted a forward pass. Lewis Peep
les was signaled to receive it and had
his hands high over his head and
standing on his toes while the ball
was on its way hrough the air to him,
when one of the Darlington boys at
tempted to intercept the ball and in
his tackling struck Lewis either with
his shoulder or head in the stomach.
Lewis immediately fell to the ground
and after some slight examination
was carried to the side lines where he
was allowed to remain an'd another
player put in his place. He apparently
did not realize,, nor did anyone else,
how- seriously hurt he was, until his
mother, Mrs. Oscar Peeples, who was
a spectator, came to him and insisted
or, taking him home. He at first was
reluctant to go, but, upon her insist
ing, was persuaded to get into the
buggy and was driven home rapidly
when he wins found to be in great pain.
Dr. Sam How r ell was summoned and
the next day grew apprehensive over
his condition and gave it as his opin
ion that there was a possible rupture
of the stomach or the intestines. Dr,
Wofford was called in for consultation
and the tw’o decided that it would be
best to carry him to a hospital in At
lanta where an operation might be de
cided upon. He was taken by his
family. Mr. and Mrs. Peeples, and sis
ter, Mary, in company with Dr. Howell,
to the Davis-Fischer sanitarium Sat
urday afternoon. After an examina
tion and consultation between Dr.
F'rank Boland, of Atlanta, Dr. Mcßae,
of Atlanta, and Dr. Sam Howell, of
Cartersville, an operation was decided
upon and was hurriedly prepared.
Upon the incision being made, he was
found to have suffered a badly ruptur
ed intestine. The injury was skilfully
treated and the operation proved to be
a success inasmuch as it was under
taken before peritonitis had set up.
His many school mates and elder
friends as well have been very solici
tous over the outcome of his unfortu
nate accident and are greatly pleased
tc learn that he is progressing nicely
and unless something unforeseen de
velops, will within two weeks' time be
restored to health.
this YEAR 11,468 BALES
LAST YEAR 15,98? BALES.
Capt. J. J. Calhoun is in receipt of
a report from the Department *if Com
merce, Bureau of the Census, Wash
ington, which shows that there has
hcem ginned 11,468 bales of cotton,
counting round as half bales, from the
crop of 1916 prior to November 14, as
compared with 16,987 bales ginned to
November 14, 1915.
This shows that the crop this year
is 4,519 'bales short compared with last
jmar and indicates that the crop of
Bartow county will not exceed, if it
reaches, 14,000 bales this year.
This is an unusually short crop for
Bartow county and were it not for the
commanding price which is now ob
tained for -the staple, the county would
very seriously hurt, but, inasmuch
as cotton Is bringing around twenty
cents a pound and seed 93 cents a
hushel, the net result will bring injo
the county -more money than was se
cured for last year’s crop of upwards
cf twenty thousand bales.
The cotton crop throughout the
south is short, though a number of
Georgia counties show' an excess in
Production of cotton over last year.
I he contributing factors which
brought about the unusual short crop
in Bartow county were believed to ex
ist throughout. Georgia, but it appears
from the records that Bartow county
ftiust have experienced more difficul
ties than any other county throughout
the state.

THE BARTOW TRIBUNE
lEACHERS' BEE
HOLDS FINE SESSION
Addresses Made By Weil
Known And Capable
“ Authorities.
On last Friday and Saturday the
teachers of Bartow county assembled
in their annual institute. Practically
afl of the teachers were present to
hear Miss Parrish who was at her best,
many teachers declaring that it was
decidedly the best meeting she ever i
held in this county, and that was oer
tainly labeling this one as very fine.
Miss Parrish handled the country
life problem in a very sane and prac
tical w r ay. Surely she convinced every
one present that the teacher or school
that did not put forth every energy to
conserve the health, to improve the
morals, to develop the intellect, to im
prove and enlarge the industrial and
economic, as well as the social and
spiritual life of the community, had
no conception of what it meant to be
a teacher or what was the function of
a school. It is to be hoped that our
teachers will put into practice the
character of work outlined. They must
see that it is the best thing to do and
al! those who are able to get away
from the old traditions and are will
ing to face present day conditions and
present day demands, will do so.
Miss Parrish had with her Mrs.
Andrews from the State College of
Agriculture, who gave one of the best
cooking lessons ever given in this
county. Mrs. Andrews certainly knew
what she was about and she could not
only tell, but she could demonstrate
in a most efficient way, what she
knew. She prepared, cooked and serv
ed Irish potatoes in nine different
ways in one hour and a half.
Supt. E. C. Merry, of Pulton county,
was present Friday and made a num
ber of able and instructive talks. Mr.
Merry will after January Ist, devote
his entire time to the School atd
Home;, a school journal. Mr, Merry is
sure to make this paper a live wire in
Georgia. Many of our teachers are sub
scribers.
Saturday, aside from the regular
program, as eondndtefi by Miss 'Par
rish, Mrs. Armor spdke to the teach
ers on the harmful effects of alcohol
and nicotine on the ‘system. Mrs. Ar
mor’s talk was informational as well
as inspirational. Onr teachers are
thoroughly alive to this issue and face
it squarely. They have accomplished
a great deal in the past and we feel
sure that they will continue the fight
this year* more vigorously than ever
before.
Lunch was served each day to the
teachers and thus a very pleasant so
cial hour was provided.
Saturday afternoon was dev*.ted en
tirely to the discussing of the rules
and regulations, the making of con
tracts and the organization of the
Teachers Association.
Mr. J. W. Jackson, superintendent
elect, was present and made a very in
teresting talk In which he briefly
stated some of the things he hoped we
all might strive to do this year. His
talk was well received by the teachers.
The time for adjournment having
arrived, the teachers all wended their
ways to the different communities
with a determination to make this the
best year yet for the Bartow county
schools.

GOOD ROADS ENHANCE
VALUE OF FARM LANDS.
To determine as far as possible the
exact dollars and cents effect oa a
county of the improvement of bad
roads, specialists of the Office of Pub
lic Roads and Rural Engineering of
the department made economic sur
veys in eight counties in each of the
years from 1910 to 1915, inclusive.
This study of the increase in the
values of farm lands in the eight coun
ties reveals the rather interesting fact
that following the improvement of the
main market roads the increase in the
selling price of tillable farm lands
served by the ro*ds hasi a mounted to
from one to three times the total cost
of the improvements. The increase in
values in those instances which were
recorded ranged from 63 per cent to
80 per cent in Spotsylvania county,
Va.; from 8 to 194 in Dinwiddie coun
ty, Va.; 7ft to 80 in Lee enunty. Va.;
-25 to 100 mi Wise county. Va.; 9 to 114
in Franklin county, N. ¥?;; 50 to 100
in Dallas county, AMd 25 to 50 in.
Lauderdale county, Miss.; and from
50 to 14ft in Manatee oennty, Fla. The
estimates of increase mere based for
kthe most part upon the territory within
a distance of 1 mile <ra each side of
the roads improved.
In Spotsylvania county a careful
record Was made in 1910 of 35 farms
located on the road selected for Im
provement. Of the 7 farms sold in 1912
the prices actually paiid show increas
es of from 37 to 116 per cent over the
1910 valuation. The average value
after the roads were improved was
$28.26 per acre, as compared with
$17.31 previous to the improvement.
In 1913 four transfers of farm land
were on the basis of $30.11 per acre,
whereas the properties were listed in
1910 at only $13.89 per acre. It appears
that the 1,451 acres sold In 1914 in
creased in value $26,500, or SO per
cent, ©r from $24.46 to $44.10 per acre.
In Dinwiddie county, Va„ the actual
price of 43 farms sold or offered for
sale from 1909 to 1914 ranged in price
from $8.38 to $43.74 per acre before
the roads were built, and from $24. <0
to $73.60 per acre after the roads were
improved.
In Lee county, Va., a study of eight
tracts along the roads before and af
ter improvement indicated that these
properties increased about $23 per
acre, or about 70 per cent.
In Wise county, Va., a study of
eight representative farms located on
roads showed that they increased in
value from an average of per
acre before improvement to $79.44
i after the roads were improved. There
| were increases in valuation in othei
’•sections of from S6O to $96 or even
SIOO per acre.
In Franklin county. S. Y„ the figures
seem to indicate that the change from
earth, sandy, and loam roads to bitum
inous macadam was followed by in
creases averaging $12.50 per acre, or
about 30.7 per cent.
In Dallas county, Ala., careful inves
tigation seemed to indicate that road
improvement has added at least $5 to
each acre of land within a half mile
of improved roads. Tracts sold at from
$8 to $lO per acre were sold again af
voting time and thought to the prepar
ation of their messages to the trade
end the advertising space in The Trib
une will be no less interesting than
the news columns.
Those who are not subscribers may
get a copy of this issue if they will
send in their names at once, and the
advertisers are urged to let us have
their copy as soon as possible in order
that the display may tie rendered as
attractive as we can make it. The
Christmas edition of The Bartow Trib
une for many years has been consider
ed a worthy and attractive publication
and the management evqiects to sur
pass its former efforts in the paper to
be published this year. Its key-note
w ill be to keep our money at home,
trade with ofir own merchants and pat
ronize those who are our defenders
and helpers at all itimes and in all sea
sons of the year.
ter road improvement at front S2O to
$25 per acre.
In Lauderdale cunty, Miss., the total
assessed valuation of real property
outside of the city was $2,757,546.
This increased in 1914 after road im
provements to $3,183,809, or 15.4 per
cent. Local real estate men place the
increase in land values on account oil
improved roads at from 25 to 50 pe:
cent.
In Manatee county, Fla., careful J
study of sales aud real estate recdrcL \
indicated that the improvement of I
roads has added from 15 to 100 per I
cent, or at least sls per acre, to the
selling price of all lands within one-
T.H 1 f mile of improved roads. This
would give a total of $611,000. or more
than twice the value of the bonds is
sued. —Weekly News Letter If. S. De

MR. W. D. PITTARD
SERIOUSLY INJURED.
Last Sunday w eek W. D. Pittard was
seriously injured by being thrown out
of an automobile while on a trip from
rassville to Fairmount.
Mr. Pittard was sitting in the back
seat wiith his wife while Sam Pittard
aad a driver occupied the front seat.
Something went wrong with the driv
ing rod which caused the driver to lose
control of the car. The rate of speed
at which the car was moving was such
as to give it a good impetus, and the
control lost by reason of the defect in
the driving rod was noticed by Mr. Pit
tar and who rose to see what was the mat
ter. At just about this time the car
veered into a bank by the side of the
Toad throwing Mr. Pittard out with
great force, falling on his head- and
shoulder. It not known for some
time just how badly hurt Mr. Pittard
was and, hence, he was carried back
ihome just as quickly as possible. It
was then ascertained that his injuries
were bruises to the face and head but
which were sufficiently painful and ser
ious to keep him confined to his home
for several days. Mr. Pittard’s brother.
Mr. J. D. Pittard, lost his hand and
suffered other bodily injuries just
three weeks ago in a cotton gin ac
cident.
At last accounts both were doing
nicely and, barring complications, will
be otif within a few days.

ELECTION SATURDAY
IN CIVIL DISTRICTS
J ustices Of Peace And Con
stables To Be Chosen By
The County.
On next Saturday, December 2, elec
tions will be held throughout the
county in the various civil districts for
justioes of the i>eace and constables
at which time, also, members of the
county democratic executive commit
tee will be selected from each district.
Some spirited races are in progress
in several of the districts for justice of
the peace and there are many con
tenders for the office of constable or
bailiff.
In the Cartersville district the race i
for justice of the ivece is between !
Judge Frank C. Watkins, who seeks re
election, and G. W. Waldrup, formerly
city clerk and treasurer. Both candi
dates have hosts of friends and the
recorded vote will number several
i hundred.
Several well known citizens are can
didates for constable, these being J. P.
Garman, J. O. Goodson, J. W. Hill, C.
M. Howard, J. C. Hilburn and Eli
Parker. All these will have a substan
tial following and the race is much in
doubt.
The justices of the peace are elected
for four years and the conk tables for
tw'o years. * -' ] mwr-
$25,000.00 FOR THE ORPHANS
ON SUNDAY, DECEMBER 10.
On Sunday, December 10, Georgia
Baptist Sunday schools will observe
"Orphans' Home Day.” An interesting
program has been published and the
aim is to raise $25,000.00 on that day
I for the Georgia Baptist Orphans'
| Home at Hapeville, Ga. Every friend
of this worthy cause is urged to help
these orphan children.
The Georgia Baptist Orphans’ Home
has an up to date plant consisting of
seventy-five acres of land, six substan
tial brick buildings and two frame
houses valued at $250,000.00. The home
cares for over 250 orphan children,
tanging from little tots to sixteen
years of age; housing, feeding, cloth
ing, teaching and training them for
life’s duties. All of the children wrork;
the girls do the house work, clean,
cook and sew and the boys cultivate
the farm and do the heavier work.
The record for usefulness of those who
have gone out from the home is ex
ceptionally good—a splendid tribute
tc the efficiency of the home. It is a
home, not an institution. The proof is
that all the children call the superin
tendent ‘'Dad.”
The needs of the home are over
$30,000.06 a year for maintenance and
$25,000.00 to pay indebtedness due to
the purchase of land and the erection
of the new dormitory far boys. It Is
hoped that this special day will result
in $25,000.00 being raised for the home
which with the regular contributions
through the year will put the home in
good shape.
Surely there is no appeal like the
helpless children. It should touch ev
ery heart. Every Georgia Baptist and
every friend of the orphans should
help these little helpless children on
Sunday, December 10 th. Send all
money to Arch C. Cree, secretary and
treasurer, Walton Bldg., Atlanta. Send
all supplies, clothing, boxes, etc., to
T. S. Scoggins, manager, Hapeville.

SCHOOL GIVEN HOLIDAYS.
The Board of Education have de
cided to declare holidays both Thurs
day, Thanksgiving Day, and Friday of
this week, so that the children upon
being dismissed Wednesday afternoon
will be free from school duties until
next Monday. This was welcome in
formation to the children who are pass
ing through a busy period of tests and
examinations and feel that the holi
days granted to them have been rich
ly earned by reason of their work.
CARD OF THANKS.
\N e wish to thank our friends and
neighbors for their kindness and do
nations to us since the burning of our
household goods and will hold these al
ways in loving remembrance.
