Five Hart Farmers
Will Gel Poison ’24
American Cotton Association Is
Going To Expand In Efforts
To Find Weevil Control
The American Cotton Association
will furnish the necessary njjson for
■use in raising cotton during 1924 on
4,000 of the best farms in the South—
and Hart county will get her share.
Those in Hart county who have been
selected, are J. H. Warren, C. W.
Rice, I. J. Phillips, E. P. Ayers and
W. M. Yeargin, all living in different
sections of the county and being rep
resentative farmers.
These gentlemen will get the poi
son necessary for raising their 1924
cotton crop, and will co-operate with
the American Cotton Association in
dcing a great deal of research work,
which will help bring the weevil fight
in reach of the masses who are unable
to cope with the present expensive
methol of control.
It is said that many members of the
association beat the weevil this year
in the thickest of the fight with less
than $1 per acre.
Jno. H. Warren is responsible for
getting the American Cotton Associa
tion interested locally, and his farm
was used as a demonstration during
the year 1923, the crop now being
gathered, a detailed account of which
will appear in The Sun soon.
During 1923 only 800 farmers in
the South were furnished poison, but
the demonstrations have proven so
successful that this number was in
creased to 4,000 for 1924, and Hart
countv is fortunate in having five pro
gressive farmers selected.

HARTWELL, HART COUNTY, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1923

Leading Cities of State Visited
By Body In Effort To Solve
Georgia’s Tax Problems
Senator T. S. Mason, of Hartwell,
representing the 31st District, was
named chairman of the special Tax
Commission appointed by Governor
Clifford Walker, and has been visiting
with this important body the strategic
points in the state investigating con
ditions, receiving suggestions and in
specting state institutions.
As a result of their extensive study
of the stuation in Georgia the com
mision will formulate a plan of taxa

Berry Sanders
Killed In Wreck
______
Accident Occurred at 4 O’clock Sun
day Morning Near Mountain Creek
Church—Funeral Here Monday
An inquest held by Coroner J. G.
Hardin in Anderson, S. C., Sunday
morning at 10 o’clock in connection
with the death of Bcrry z Sanders, for
merly of Hartwell, who was killed in
an automobile accident about 4 o’clock
Sunday morning, when the machine in
which he was riding with several com
panions struck a concrete bridge near;
Mountain Creek, resulted in a verdict ■
by the jury that the deceased came'
to his death by accident.
The Anderson (S. C.) Daily Mail
carried an account of the accident as
follows:
“Shag” Evans and a man named
j Buffington, said to be residents of
[the Orr Mill village, who were with;
I Sanders at the time of the accident,-
[and who were arrested bv county of-1
fleers upon the statement by the
widow of the deceased that she was;
of the belief there had been foul play,
were released following the fihding
of the coroner’s jury. According to j
Deputy Sheriff W. A. Clamp, the ac-1
I tion of officers was taken, in arrest
| ing the two men, upon the statement
[ of Mrs. Sanders.
The machine was occupied by Sand-i
, ers, Evans, Buffington, Pat Moore and '
a man named Fortune, according to
deputy Clamp, who went to the scene
of the accident early yesterday morn-|
ing. The officer stated that while
there was no liquor in the machine,
the occupants of the car had been
drinking.
According to the version of the ac- 1
cident as given by members of the
party to the officers, they were pro-;
ceding to Anderson, coming from
the direction of Georgia- when the
accident Occurred. According to
the statement of one of the men, the
lights of the machine suddenly went'
out at a point near the bridge, and
the machine crashed into the con
crete banister. Sanders was

cording to the statement, the left
side of his body having struck the
concrete banister, his death result

serious injuries of an internal nature

i Andrews Buried At
Mize On Last Friday
Beaten To Draw By Sheriff Moss
of Franklin County—Bullet
Pierced Brain
The remains of Mr. M. Frank An
drews were interred at New Hope
church near Mize, his old home, last
Friday, a large crowd attending ser
vices.
Mr. Andrews was shot and killed on
Wednesday night by Sheriff Thos. H.
Moss, of Franklin county, ip the road
above the Crump Mill place in thpt
county, after Andrews had been stop
ped by Sheriff Moss and Deputy Ar
thur Smith. The incident occurred
[ about 9 o’clock Wednesday night.
Hearing that liquor runners would
probably go this road the officers had
blockaded passage with their Ford
car. When the ear in which Andrews
was in stopped,' Moss and Smith ap
proached it and the sheriff flashed his
light upon the occupants of the car.
.' He recognized Andrews and saw that
; he had a large still on the rear of the
car. Andrews asked the sheriff to let
: him pass as he had nothing but a still,
whereupon the sheriff told him he could
1 not do anything like that and step
ped upon the running board of the
I car. Andrews tried to push him off
but Sheriff Moss grabbed his left arm.
Andrews then reached for his gun, but
I before he could fire* the Sheriff shot
[ him, the ball entering his head.
Sheriff Moss rushed to Carnesville
and together with Drs. B. T. and G.
M. Parker and Mr. R. T. Camp went
back to the scene of the shooting. An
' drews lived only a few minutes after
the arrival of these men. Deputy
Smith was dispatched to notify the
I kinsmen of Andrews and to secure an
1 undertaker from Toccoa. After the
body of Anlrews was turned over to
tTW» undertaker, Sheriff Moss and the
; other gentlemen returned to Carnes
ville bringing with them the Stutz
automobile, still, guns, which had be
longed to Andrews, and Henry Price,
of Gumlog district who was in the
car with Andrews. Price was released
and allowed to return to his home.
He made practically the same state
ment as Sheriff Moss and Smith.
Price was the only eye witness t o
the shooting other than Sheriff Mosa
and deputy Smith. Andrews made no
I statement before he died.
Anlrews was armed with two guns
, when searched by the officers.
Mr. Andrews moved to Hart county
from Anderson, S. C., last January,
and lived near Sharon and Eureka
communities. Prior to this time it
| was said he served a short term in
Anderson county.
At the time of his death he was out
under bond as the result of Hart coun
i ty officers finding 60 gallons of liquor
in a storehouse at his home three
weeks ago.

Hard work will do more for the ordi

The fellow that takes up most of his
time doing free work that people
don’t appreciate may be a plum fool,
ed that from the appearance of the
car and the fact that it was practical
ly demolished as a result of the ter
rific impact with the concrete abut
ment, it appeared miraculous that the
other occupants of the car were not
injured.
Sanders, on one occasion a num
ber of years ago, was injured seri
ously when he was un over by the
old gas-electric car which was oper--.
ated on the Blue Ridge railroad- On
that occasion he was confined in a
local hospital for a period of time.
Sanders was a man of about 35
years of age. He is survived by his
widow and several children as well
as a number of relatives, residing in
this and other counties. Funeral
services were held Monday 3 o’clock
afternoon at Hartwell, Sanders having
been a native of that county.
