VCIi, 3 JUDGE MALCOLM C. EARfER TO PRESIDE OVER SUPER! COURT New Judge To Hold His First Court In This County And Lawyers And Other Court Officers Will Be In Their Places. The Bartow superior court will meet next Monday morning for the regular January term. Associated with its meeting will mark the beginning of the term of Judge C. Tarver who has been commissioned as judge and is this week holding court in Whitfield county. Notwithstanding the fact that a great number of the people of the county have met Judge Tarver and have seen him as an ad vocate in the court room and have heard him deliver quite a number of addresses before secret orders and in, his active campaign fof the judgeship during the last democratic primary, there is every evidence of interest shown which will cause many to at tend court this term and witness his manner and conduct in the high and honorable position which he has as sumed as judge of the superior courts Of the Cherokee circuit. Judge Tarver is perhaps today the youngest superior court judge in Geor gia. It is said that the framers of the constitution of Georgia were of the opinion that a man was not sufficiently mature to hold this office until he be comes thirty yeark of age and, hence,, by constitutional prohibition a lawyer is held disqualified for this office of any younger age. Mr. Tarver was in his thirty-first year during the cam paign and is now only slightly over thirty-one years of age. He has been, however, a close stu dent of the law and has thrown into its study and mastery every facutly and natural talent possessed by him with the result that he has, in a few \ years, achieved a reputation as a strong advocate and practitioner. He is universally conceded as one of the most skilful, hardworking, earnest and vigorous lawyers in North Georgia, and notwithstanding his youth, has al ready attained an eminence granted to few men of his' age of this day and time. He is likewise a self-made man, securing his education largely through his own labors, and the material help to a small extent, of friends who be lieved in him. After his entrance to the bar, lawyers at once begun to rea lize that he had in him splendid legal ability, that he applied himfelf to the study of his profession and to the mas tery of the details of each and evfcry case which he undertook to handle. It was, therefore, but natural that he should soon be considered as judicial timber and when he became a candi date and appealed to the voters of the circuit he was given that support from each and every county at once which made him a formidable and finally suc cessful candidate for the position. There are those that predict that. JACK QUINN WINS FIRST PRIZE AGAIN. For the second consecutive year C. C Quinn, of Cartersville, has won a merited and distinguished honor as a salesman for the American Tobacco Company. The cash prize awards for salesman ship for the year 1916 for the north Georgia division have been made by the world’s greatest tobacco manufac turing corporation and after the rec ords of all the salemep/were carefully examined by the New York state sales manager, the Western sales manager raid the supervisor of Illinois, who con stituted the awarding committee, Mr. "’linn was awarded the first individ ual prize of $75.00, the fi. it prize for salesmanship of Bull Durham tobacco o‘ $75.00, and the first prize for sales manship of Tuxedo tobacco of $75 00, making a total cash award of $225.00, each of these prizes being first of their c 'ass for the north Georgia division. Hr. Quinn won a similar distinction ast year for the same concern receiv es a cash prize of $87,50 and a trip to New York, the value of which togeth with the cash orize was equal to ° at he won this year. This is a very unusual record to be " a de by so young a salesman and his !an y friends in Bartow county are -teatly pleased over his singular suc ' ess and his achievement in making eo ■ r.e a record for his employers. Not- jTHE BARTOW TRIBUNE within two years’ time Judge Tarver will be considered as the best judge in Georgiy and his friends are sure that in his administration of the du ties of the office equal and exact jus tice will be done-to each and all with out reference to any external fact or condition, and that the majesty of the law will, be upheld to the extent that all men will accord to the newly in ducted judicial officer fairness and impartiality and a purpose “to admin ister justice without respect to person and Jo equal rights between the poor' and the rich.” < ” * Monday morning Judge Tarver will assume the bench as the presiding judge of the Bartow superior court and after observing the formalities in cident to the opening of the court, will deliver his charge to the grand jury. This done, he will enter upon the trial of his first case in Bartow county. Coming in also for the full term of four years will be Solicitor General J. M. Lang, who has just completed the unexpired term of Hon. T. C. Milner. During the short term Mr. Lang es tablished a reputation as an able prosecuting officer and with the ex perience derived from the two years of service in this position he Vill doubtless be able to furnish a yet more satisfactory record during the next four he has been chosen to serve' iu this capacity. The following are drawn grand jur ors fpr the term from which the grand jury will be selected: J. S. Taff, R. R. McCormick, J. R. Combs, H. M. England, W. A. McCutchen, A, W. Ed wards, M. L. Johnson, Jas. A. Knight, A G. White, M. C. Nelson, H. H. Pop ham, J. M. Hamrick, T. R. McKelvey, R. L. Saxon, A. .S. Lipscomb, E. W. Smith, N. B. Cannon, G. B. Elrod, J. E. Hudson, F. J. Bray, W. D. Trippe, D. W. Loudermilk, G. W. Young J. D. Rollins, J. L. Milhollin,,J. M. Dysart, R F. Kincannon, W. C. Fite, G. H. Gilreath, W. M. Trippe. The following is the traverse jury for the first week of court: T. J. Gar rett, E. M. Moore, J,. H. Wig-ginton/R. S. Munford, C. M. Angles, J. P. Gaines, G..W. Harris, W. H. Carson, C. R. Per kins, E. P. King, J. B. Mullinix, Jr., J C. Reynolds, E. O. Davis, H. L. Keh'ely, Walter C. Adcock, Jas. Haney, W. D. Reynolds, Sam Allison. All drawn jurors are expected to be in their places in the court room promptly upon the convening of court and it is said that no juryman will be excused from service except for legal reason properly presented. Withstanding the honoP and the money value attached to these prizes and the many congratulations which he has received, Jack, as he is called by hun dreds of his friends', remains the same modest, affable, genial man among men, which gives additional cause for the well wishes which follow' him through this and the succeeding years. LOCAL U. S. MARINE WILL Visit panama canal. Fred Palfrey, a United States Mar ine from Linwood.j this county, will visit the Panama: Canal, w'hen the huge battleship New Hampshire com- her cruise in the West Indies and ;*ails for the Isthmus, in accord ance with the winter schedule t>f the Atlantic fleet. Fred, who is a son of Mrs. Mary Tack son, of Linwood, enlisted in the United Marins Corps at its Chattanooga, Tenn., recruiting station on August 31, 1916, and he will per form his regular military duties aboard the New Hampshire, while the big dreadnaught steams through the waterway from coast to coast. Comparatively few Americans are favored with an opportunity to visit the great canal, and this trip to the tropics, which has been aptly timed to avoid the rigors of a northern winter, will doubtless prove of great educa tional value to the local boy. CARTERSVILLE, GA., JANUARY 4, 1917 SERiOUS ACCIDENT - A1 STREET GROSSING Runaway Horse Driven By Yank Tatum Rushes In Front (V Csenin. — ' _— Saturday morning a serious accident occurred at the Main Street Crossing of the Western & Atlantic Railroad, within the heart of the business sec tion of the city, which caused all who witnessed it to shudder with appre hension and dread. A horse, driven by young Yank Tatum, attached to a buggy took f’ ight on Main street and begun to ' run toward the crossing. Young Tatum was seen doing his best to control the animal but being a large and strong horse it rushed headlong down the street. Young Tatum sought to turn j him into the driveway leading toward the cotton warehouse and turning out at Young Bros, drug store. He partly succeeded in doing this but the horse swerved agaiu and made his way for the crossing, nearly upsetting tht* buggy on the sharp turn made. Just as he got on the main track the Louis ville & Nashville through train for Cincinnati caught the buggy, jerking the horse around against the power ful locomotive and dashing the buggy, with Mr. Tatum a distance of fully ferty feet. Young Tatum was thrown against a. freight car standing near the platform of the depot, his head striking the box ing of the wheels and blood gushed from his weanr’e He was picked up by friends who had little hope of find ing him alive and much less for living any length of time. Medical aid was summoned and he was at once carried to the office of Dr. A. B. Greene, the nrMroad surgeon, where his wounds were examined and dressed. It was found that he was 'yet conscious, not-s withstanding the suddenness* and great force of the impact, and in a short time was carried to the home of a friend of the family, where he is doing well considering the nature of his injuries. Those who witnessed the accident attach no blame to the railroad crew in charge of the train colliding-with the driver and buggy, nor to the boy who was apparently doing his best to avoid reaching the crossing, but the accident was altogether due to the mad rush of a run away horse. The buggy was torn to atoms. The horse suffered tjie breaking of one or more legs which necessitated killing him and a large crowd congregate.! immediately after the accident and viewed the place where happened what appeared would be a fatal and bloody casualty. It was with great relief that news was carried from the ‘wounded man j that he was likely not fatally hurt and J those who witnessed marveled with i wonder that he escaped with his life, j The watchman, D. H. Jordan, saw i the oncoming danger and did all ini his power to avert it but wus unable to keep tlie horse from rushing on to the crossing in front of the train he saw approaching. It was an unavoid able accident in so far as human agency was concerned and the many friends of the injured young man are hopeful that he will soon recover and that, he will suffer no permanent, in juries from his experience. Y. M. C. A. OPENS ITS DOORS TO MEMBERS. yThe Y. M. 0. A. opened its doors Thursday afternoon to the public. Prof. C. M.

The stock holders of the Bartow Comity Fair Association will meet at the court house Wednesday afternoon | at 1:30 o’clock for the purpose of re-l reiving the reports of its officers, elect- , ing a new* board of directors and ; transacting such other busiuess as ' nay properly come before it. The new board ef directors will i elect a president and secretary for the ! ensuing year. This promises to be a very import ant meeting and at which time plans necessarily have to be laid for the proper operation and financing of the fair of 1917. The people of the county are greatly interested iu the success of the fair and are showing an in creased co-operative spirit and anxious effort to aid and support it in every way possible. It is, therefore, earnest ly hoped that each aud every stock holder will be present at the meeting next Wednesday. The Bartow county fairs for the past several years have been laudable un dertakings, successfully conducted, and we have acquired a reputation for giving thoroughly interesting and in formative exhibitions. For this reason a very large majority of the sentiment of the county is in favor of a contin uance of the past policy of the fair to the end that it will ultimately suc ceed because of its great merit. It is a great time for the gathering of the i people of the county at one central point, for an opportunity to view what has been accomplished in progressive agriculture, breeding of live stock, household economics, and the various stljer features which have been played V.p in our comity fairs. They have beep educative, informative and thor oughly beneficial and have tended to ward the accomplishment of the county wide friendship which will ul timately do-much for the good of the county. There are In view, perhaps, some changes in detail, and due to the de sire of some officers to retire, others will be considered for their places. 1 At any rate, the meeting should draw together every stockholder who can make it possible to attend and a large and enthusiastic meeting is con templated.
