cordially invited to the annual Hart
County S. S. Convention which meets

ways prove interesting and helpful.
GET 72-GALLON STILL
——
Hart county officers made another
j haul one day last week, destroying a
72-gallon still and 500 gallons of
beer in Shcal Creek district.
No whiskey had been made and
there were no parties in sight, but it
was very evident.that the officers de
stroyed the still just in time.
In the raiding party were Deputy
Sheriff A. B. Brown, Special Officer
Curtis L. Kay and Josh Brown.
MYERS’ DUSTERS WILL DO
THE WORK IN A HURRY
Mr. T. Mahlon Myers has been do
■ ing some very effective demonstrat
| ing with his calcium arsenate dust-1
ing machines on cotton patches around
Hartwell the past week.
Althouyh this is the first year in
I the business, Mr. Myers has sold over
50 of his two-row dusters, and he is
now demonstrating a three-row out
fit that is one of the best we’ve seen.
A large crowd saw him go over a
4-acre plat at C. I. Kidd’s place north
of Hartwell Friday morning, trying
out all three of his machines.
The 3-row duster can cover 25 acres
per day; the two row machines about
15 to i 8 acres. He will manufacture
the large machines as well as the
small ones next season.

(First Two Bales’23
Cotton Here Friday
O. G. Heaton and George Milford
Receive 27c Pound For First
Picking of the Season
Hart’s first bales of cotton came in
last Friday and brought 27c per
pound.
Mr. Grover Heaton, prominent citi

a bale weighing 435 pounds, for which
he received the sum of $117.45, selling

on Depot street.
The second bale, weighing 538
pounds, was brought in by George
Milford, young son of Mr. and Mrs.
Toombs Milford, of Sardis section, for
which he received $145.26. This bale
was bought by Harper & Pearman.
Th|e fleecy staple is opening very
fast now and practicaly all the gins
in the county will be running by this

although conservatives place it at
around 10,000 bales.

Mason And Conwell
On Tax Commission
Fuller Calloway, of LaGrange,
Named ('hairman Walker
Wants Suggestions Offered
Two Hart county citizens have been
named by Governor Clifford Walker
as members of the “Tax Commission”
which will study the tax situation in
Georgia and suggest a remedy at the
approaching special session of the
Legislature November 15th, called for
this purpose.
Those named from Hart county are
Senator T. S. Mason, of the 31st Dis
trict, and Hon. J. Ed Conwell, Presi
dent of the Georgia Cotton Growers’
Association.
As chairman of the Senate Finance
and many other important commit
tees, Senator Mason’s ability has long
been recognized. Governor Walker’s
selection here was very wise.
Hon. J. E. Conwell as head of the
Cotton Association, has been thrown
in contact with the State’s leading
citizens and financiers, and will add
no little weight to this body of repre
sentative Georgians.
In appointing the Tax Commision,
Governor Walker issued the-following
statement.
“From now on until the extra ses
sion convenes. I shall devote at least
half cf my time to this work,” the
governor said. “I consider it the most
important subject before our people
today. I believe public attention
should be concentrated and maintain
ed up n it until it is solved.
Invites Suggestions
“It merits the best thought of ev
ery Georgian who can contribute to
ward that solution bv helping us to
formulate the most helpful sugges
tions within our power to lay before
the legislature.”
The governor anticipates that the
members of the commission will travel
together from one point to another in
the itinerary cf public hearings, and
that each meeting will be made a fea
ture of such intensive local interest
that the leaders of the entire sur
rounding community wil be moved to
take active part in the work.
Governor Walker said further, “In
line with pledges in my platform, I
have selected a committee to make a
survey of the needs of the state insti
tutions for the next ten years, pre
pare a budget covering those needs,
suggestions of tax measures
which will raise the necessary funds by
distributing the burden fairly and by
brisging to the tax books property,
tangible and intangible, now escaping
taxation.”
