Winter To Gome
Early, So They Say
Thick Corn Shucks and Other
Indications Cause Scientists
To Hasten Cold Weather
If you would listen to the scien
tists, fall is coming earlier this year
than last—and then local prognosti
cators or “weather prophets,” to use
smaller words, say it’s going to be
a cold winter because the corn shucks,
are thicker than they have been in
several years. That's a good sign,
they say.
And so if you haven’t laid in that
supply of coal and wood for winter,
you’d better get busy, folks.
The sun, too, isn’t as hot as the
scientists think it should be, either,
and then there are big ice floes in the
waters of the North. B-r-r-r.
Dr. C. G. Abbott, of the Smithson
ian Institute, has it figured out that
the sun is already half way back from
its annual Northern trip, with the re
sult that the unusual accumulations
of snow and ice have not been melted.
This accumulated cold of the Arctic
has a good start op its yearly journey
southward, a fact that presages an
early fall according to some weather
experts.
The marked presence of ice in the
North Atlantic has been duplicated in
the Pacific Artic regions and leading
meterologists of Japan already have
predicted a rice famine in that coun
try because of the damaging effect of
the air currents blowing over Japan
from their origin in the ice fields of
the Siberian and Alaskan coasts.
Projetion of the Asiatic coast ice
boundary toward the south this year
has been marked.
Yes, “it’s going to be a cold winter.”

I ROAD AND OPENS STORE
IN PHILADELPHIA, PA.
Chas. J. Teasley has severed his
connection with the S. S. S. company
and opened a cut rate drug store in
Philadelphia Pa.
The Sun is in receipt of copies of
his first two ads which appeared in
a Philadelphia paper. His first one
was a whole page and the second
one was one-third of a page. It is
evident that Charlie believes in ad
vertising, and we know he will suc
ceed. He has had many yean ex
perience on the road selling the drug
trade, and naturally has required a
great deal of knowledge about the cut
rate drug business.

Hartwell friends who pass through

WARREN IN LAVONIA
Mr. Jno. H. Warren, progressive
Nuberg citizen, and “Potato King"
of this section of the state, was in La
vonia this week giving demonstrations
on digging, grading and curing sweet

Lavonia has recently erected a large
commercial potato house, the plans
being drawn by Mr. Warren, of Hart

Cartersville Delegation To
Inspect Our Tobacco Crop
SPEND THURSDAY NIGHT
AND FRIDAY IN THIS CITY
Prominent Farmers, Lawyers,
Business Men and Editor of
“Tribune-Herald" In Party
A party of leading ciitzens from
Cartersville and Bartow county will
arrive in Hartwell about two o’clock
Thursday afternoon of this week to in
spect Hart county’s tobacco crop,
which is now being cured and stored in
readiness for the opening of the mar
kets in the Piedmont section of North
Carolina.
The delegation will come to Hart
well through the country, will spend
Thursday night and probably the most
of Friday in the town and county, be
ing guests on Friday of the Kiwanis
Club.
In the party will be Editor Milton
L. Fleetwood, of the Cartersville Tri
bune-News, Col. Paul F. Akin, L. C.
Evans, Robert W. Knight, W. A. Dodd,
Vance Nelson, Henry H. Milam, Mil
ton Gaines, O. B. Bishop, W. D. Trippe,
W. IL Nichols, J. H. Bagwell, J. M.
Cagle l and probably others. These
gentlemen are among the leading
farmers and business men of Bartow
county, and wish to acquaint them
selves with conditions on this side of
the State, and especially as regards the
growing of tobacco in commercial
quantities.
Bartow county has recently put into
operation two commercial cheese fac
tories. Mr. Henry H. Milam, a mem
ber of the party, will talk to our peo
ple here regarding this new industry
PLANT COVER CROPS
That each average acre of Hart
county land takes in 200 pounds of ni
trate of soda from November until
planting time in the spring, and only
retains 10 per cent of this amount,
unless a cover crop such as clover or
grain was planted to hold it, was
brought out an enthusiastic talk be
fore the Kiwanis Club last Friday by
County Agent H. W. Bingham.
Mr. Bingham urged the planting of
cover crops all over Hart county- this
fall and very clearly showed the bene
fit to be derived in greater yields and
better land.
Prof. H. L. Fry’, of the Reed Creek
Consolidated School, told of the suc
cess this section of Hart has made
with its pedigreed cotton seed, and ex
per grader being at Reed Creek now
assisting in the work. They not only
expect to have plenty of seed for their
own use but will probably offer the
other communities pedigreed seed that
has been carefully ginned and graded
for next year’s crop.
Senator T. S. Mason told of the
wonderful success of the first annual
“Round-The-County Tour” held Thurs
day, 13th. This was one of the most
profitable and enjoyable events the
county has experienced in many years,
and will be greatly enlarged ppon next
year, it was stated.
Visitors were B. K. Shirley, of Mia
mi, Fla., and Col. Griggs and son high
way engineers of Athens, who are
surveying the road to Reed Creek and
the school route in that section.
which is gaining favor so rapidly in
Georgia.
A delegation of citizens will likely
meet the party at Royston.
ORGANIZATION IS GRANTED
CHARTER BY HART COURT
Dr. W. Edgar McCurry Named

Acres Was Purchased By Club
At the organization meeting of the
stockholders of The Hartwell Coun
try Club held last Friday night, fol
lowing the granting of the charter by
Judge Hodges of the Northern Judi
cial Circuit, Dr. W. E. McCurry was
named president.
The various officers and members of
the board of directors and governors
and committees are as follows:
President—Dr. W. E. McCurry.
Vice-President—R. E. Matheson.
Secretary-Treasury—J. L. Teasley.
Directors—F. T. Kidd, A. N. Alford,

With the opening of a temporary
five-hole golf course at the Hartwell
Country Club, until the permanent
links can be completed, local enthu
siasts are getting their first try-out
at this nationally-popular sport, and
there are lost golf balls and broken
“brassies,” “putters,” “mid-irons” ga
lore, and incidentally a few broken
"shins” perhaps.
Golf is new to most Hartwellites,
but already the “bug” has a strong
grip on a large number of our citi
zens who are learning the golf talk
and becoming very proficient in tell
ing golf yarns like unto the old-time
fish tales we used to hear.
Charter Granted Club
The Hartwell Country Club, a $lO,-
000 corporation, has recently been
granted a charter, and purchased tha
old Hicks place two miles west of
Hartwell, containing 167 acres of land,
which will eventually become one of
the show-places of this section.
As soon as the present occupants
vacate the old homeplace will be con
verted into a club house, spacious ve
randas added and partitions torn out
to give the desired effect. It is per
haps the most ideal location in the
county for such purposes.
Tennis and croquet courts will be
arranged and the club will prove an
attraction for both young and old
who wish an outing. A large lake
will also be provided for those who
prefer bathing; this will be in readi
ness for the 1924 season.
To Attract Tour is ts
Within the next few months it is
hoped to have the permanent golf
course in readiness, an expert having
been employed by the Country Club
officials for this work. When com
pleted the links will be an added at
traction for tourists here, hundreds
having already signified their inten
tion of stopping in Hartwell for some
time provided they can play golf.
In establishing a Country Club and
golf links Hartwell is keeping pace
with the other more progressive cities
of the South, especially those catering
to the large tourist travel from the
North and East and from points far
ther South. Fully 40,000 people tra
verse the famous Bankhead Highway
through this county monthly.
One hundred of the leading business
men of the city and county are stock
holders in the Hartwell Country Club,
which will have its formal opening
sometime in the near future. A care
taker will have charge of the proper
ties all the time.

CHAS. P. RAY ILL
Many friends in Hartwell and the
county will regret to hear that Mr.
Chas. P. Ray, prominent Lavonian, has
been very ill for some weeks. He was
carried to an Atlanta hospital last
week. We hope to hear soon of his
improvement.
