in THE years gone by
“School Day” November 1, And
• Farmers Day” 2nd Are Big
Events In Program For ’23
There is little doubt but that the
Hart County Fair November 1-2 will
surpass all others held in this coun
from point of variety and quality
I of exhibits—
For Hart county in years gone by
had only one Demonstration Agent,
w ; i the help of a few public spirited
citizens, to put it over, whereas in
the good year 1924 there are County
\<reiit H. W. Bingham; Economic
Agent Miss McLa-ahan; Prof. H. L.
Fry, of Reed Creek, Pref. H. H. Mad
dox,’ of Sardis, Prof. L. E. Hemrick,
of Hartwell, all three of them Voca
tional Agricultural teachers; the Fair
Association, headed by Supt. of Coun
ty Schools W. B. Morris and his effi
ciently organized committees, —
And almost everybody in the whole
town and county is beginning to “talk
Fair” and prepare exhibits for the
various departments.
Some ideas of the size of the Fair
may be gained from the fact that at
least 600 chickens will be on exhibit.
Two Big Days and Nights
Thursday, November 1, will be
.“County School Day” and Friday, the
I 2nd, will be “Farmers’ Day.” There
F will be two big days crowded with en
tertainment from early morn until
late at night.
A special program led by Hon. J.
H. Skelton boosting the Fair was put
on by the Kiwanis Club last Friday,
among those talking being Prof. Fry,
Rev. J. H. Barton, Mayor Richardson,
President W. B. Morris of the Fair
Association and others.
Prof. Fry told of the Reed Creek
Fair to be held October 26th, and that
I perhaps every exhibit there would be
brought to Hartwell for the County
Fair November 1-2. Reed Creek is
doing big things these days, and can
be counted on to support the enter
prise in every particular.
SI,OOO Premium List.
Priz<£ aggregating SI,OOO have been
offered in the various departments,
and interest is keen nil over Hart
county. Some ten sections of Hart
will compete for the community prizes.
The premium lists are appearing in
The Sun weekly. This week we carry
the “Woman’s Department.” The re
mainder will all appear next week.
Get ready now for the big two-day
exhibition, Hart county folks.

ycuth of near Anderson, S. C., was
seriously injured about seven o’clock

| turned over, almost demolishing
! same, and cutting his right leg so
I badly that he was carried to the An
derson hospital after quick aid in
Hartwell by Drs. Brown and Hailey.
An X-ray showed pieces of the
broken windshield imbedded in his
leg, and it is said the wound will take
several months to completely heal.
In the car with Howard was George
Campbell, another young man, of An
, derson, but who was only bruised,
i Both had been visiting relatives west

FLORIDA LADY HANDS A
BOUQUET TO THE LOCAL
DEALERS ON ’23 STOCKS
1 A ladv from Florida, while shop
ping in Hartwell the other day, stat
' i ed that she had never seen such large
stocks and such beautiful selections
in the latest styles as are carried in
the stores here for a city this size.
She remarked, in paying our pro
gressive Hartwell merchants this com
', pliment, that truly there was no need
of anyone going elsewhere to shop
i when the very latest things could be
had right here, and in most instances
at prices lower than they could be had
elsewhere.
The moral is: “Trade at Home,
Home Folks.”

HERE’S SOMETHING YOU
DIDN’T KNOW ABOUT ONE
OF OUR INSTITUTIONS
Lots of good news items go unher
alded in this old world—at least, until
the newspaper fellow runs up on one
occasionally and accidentally.
For instance—The Hart County
Telephone Exchange, right here in the
good county of Hart, and the City
of Hartwell, was the first telephone
exchange in the United States to give
the market and weather reports out to
its subscribers in the country.
And that goes back over twenty
years ago, folks. The Bureau of Mar
kets in Washington, D. C., has official
ly recorded this fact.
And, furthermore, the people of
Hart county are still getting this same
service daily, and freely, at that—
thanks to Manager Fred P. Linder, I
who gets more active the older he'
gets.
This is an honor belonging to Hart
and Hartwell we did not know of un
til last week ,and we hereby place
Fred “Pinkyville” Linder in our own
hall of fame.
He’s a progressive citizen, and was
that 20 years ago as evidenced by
this innovation that was quickly rec
ognized in Washington for its worth.
NEW PEWS BEING PUT IN
Messrs. H. W. Jordan and son, Mr.
Andy Jordan, and H. L. Lanning, of
Charlotte, N. C., are at Sardis this i
week installing the news pews in this
magnificent edifice.
The news pews are in keeping with
the building, and now the progressive
members of Sardis Baptist church are
soon to have the last finishing touches
completed. All Hart county is proud
of Sardis and its other splendid
churches.

BETHESDA CHURCH
The Bethesda W .M. S. met with
Mrs. B. A. Thornton last Wednesday
P. M.
The following program was render- [
ed:
Scripture Reading—Mrs. G. T. Har
per.

Song—Sweet Hour of Prayers.
Several readings on Japan.
Report of committees.
Ten Dollars was raised for the Belle
Bennett Memorial Fund.
Sixteen members wpre present,
plans were also made for the mission
study class.
o
A prominent Paris daily paper, de
ploring the corruption of masculine
styles and behavior by Amercans in <
Paris, says that although Britishers
in Paris “remain gentlemen with waist
coats and yellow kids, many French
men follow the lead of Americans who
have left their vests in New York,
their gloves in Washington and ar
rive with naked hands and floating
cravats.” .. i '
j W. HOWARD BROWN LOSES
I HOME BY FIRE AND FINE
MULE BY ACCIDENT ON IST
The home of Mr. W. Howard Brown
I several miles southwest of Hartwell
I was totallv destroyed by fire last
Monday morning.
Mr. Brown had no insurance.
The incident is peculiarly regret
table. Mrs. Brown had started a fire
in the kitchen stove for dinner, but
was called to the field where «Mr.
Brown and his helpers were cutting
; peas. One of the mules pulling the
1 machine had stepped backward, and in
' so doing had one of his legs cut off.
I Directing their attention to the suf
fering animal which fiad to be shot,
they did not look towards the house,
and the entire structure was ablaze
almost before they, knew it.
Hardly any of the household ef
fects were saved and the loss is very
heavy on Mr. and Mrs. Brown, who
are a young couple with a family.
The animal killed was said to have
been one of the finest mules in Hart
county.
Veterinarian Newland J. Ayers was
called but could do nothing for the
suffering beast.
j GRAND A
“NO BILL” AGAINST MOSS
WHO KILLED ANDREWS
According to the Franklin county
papers, the Grand Jury in session at
Carnesville last week returned a no
bill in the killing of Mr. Frank An
drews by Sheriff Tom Moss on Wed
nesday night, September 19th.
Andrews a citizens of Hart county,
was stopped by Sheriff Moss and a
Deputy as he (Andrews) was passing
through Franklin county in an auto
cm the rear of which was a large still.
Following some words it was stated

KIWANIANS BOOST FAIJI
TO BE HELD NOVEMBER 1-2
Talk of the County Fair to be held
November 1-2, and the Reed Creek
Contmunitv Fair scheduled for Octo
ber 26th, consumed the Kiwanians. at
tention on last Friday and from the
interest manifested there is no reason
to expect anything but two big suc
cesses from both.
The program headed by Hon. J.
H. Skelton, and which is mentioned
elsewhere in this issue, was enthusias
tic and enlightening. As a result
Hartwell is more wide awake to the
situation and is now solidly behind the
Fair proposition 100 per cent.
The Club was honored in the pres
ence of three visitors last Friday—
Mr. Herbert Ayers, of Atlanta, who is
with the Federal Reserve Bank, and a
son of Mr. and Mrs. R. L. Ayers, of
Hartwell; Mr. Harry A. Scott, well
known traveling salesman, of New
York City; and Mr. B. R. Colby, of
the Standard Oil Co., Atlanta.

ROUNTREE BA C K FROM
THREE MONTHS’ TOUR
OF ROADS IN EUROPE
J. A. Rountree, Director-General of
the United States Good Roads Asso
ciation also Director-General of the
Bankhead Highway, after an absence
of three and a half months touring
Europe, studying the road question
and making observations on road
building in foreign countries, has re
turned to Birmingham quite enthusias
tic over his tour through France,
Switzerland, Italy, Germany and Eng
land.
Director-General Rountree visited
i Europe with a commission from the
United States Good Roads Association
and the Bankhead National Highway
Association with instructions to se
cure the best ideas for use of road
building generally and for building
and beautifying the Bankhead High
way.
He secured a mass of valuable infor
mation in the countries he traveled
that will be of great benefit in road
building in America.
He was officially received bv Am
bassadors, Consul-Generals, Consuls
and other officials of the United States
Government, who arranged for him
to be received by Cabinet officers,
Government Road officials in the
countries he visited who took charge
of him as a distinguished official rep
resenting the largest and most influen
tial road organization in the world.
Cabinet officers under whose depart
ment the highways are managed gave
him the greatest consideration, fum
| ishing him with data on financing,
building and maintaining highways.
The chief road engineers in the coun
tries conducted him in an uatomobile
over the roads, giving him details in
regard to construction and an oppor
tunity to see them at first hands and
to get the practical side of road build
ing.
The foreign road officials were deep
ly interested in road-building in Amer
ica and secured much information
from Director-General Rountree so;
that his conferences with them were
an interchange of practical road build
ing ideas.

c
• RED TOP” WAS NAME OF |
A LEADING SALOON HERE|
I
Cotton Crop In 1876 Worth Over
SIBO,OO0 —Many Other Inter
esting Items Are Gleaned
■
Taking up the third issue of The
' Sun, dated August 30, 1876, we note
“Redtop” was the name of a leading
Hartwell saloon, and it wasn’t unfash
ionable back then for most everybody
to take a nip. We’re progressing. E.
B. Benson and Capt. and Mrs. J. F.
Craft left for New York, going by
Philadelphia to attend the Centen
nial.
We note the following interesting
article in this issue:
j “To the Editors of The Sun: —The
i cottcn crop of Hart county will bring
!at 9 cents per pound, $180,060. The
county owes $100,000; that will leave
a surplus of SBO,OOO. We have made
a fair crop. Have the best prospects
ever known for corn peas, and pota-
i toes. There are more hogs and beef
' cattle in the country than any time
since the war. Many farmers have
: fine tobacco patches—by the way,
1 they ought to make their own own to-,
! bacco, as ever SIO,OOO in cash is paid
' by Hart county annually for tobacco.
Religious revivals are going on (
throughout the county. With religion |
in their souls, money in their pockets,
and a Democratic government, how
can the people keep from being hap
py?”
The article was signed by “who?
I If “who” was living now he’d see
a half million dollars on deposit in
the banks of,Hartwell, and many other
great changes since August 1876.

WE TRY RAPE SALAD
We’ve eaten all kinds of salads —at
least we thought we had, until last
1 Saturday when our good friend, Mr.
T. A. Booth, if Hartwell route 4,
brought in a mess of “rape salad,”
| which he gathered from an acre patch
sown for his chickens and incidentally
for his table, also. The leaf is as
good if not better than the regular
| turnip salad, and we are indebted to
him for this much of our sumptuous
dinner on the Sabbath day, than which
there was none more sumptuous. The
only kick we have it that friend Broth
started from home with piece of meat
wrapped up in the salad but sold it to
a colored fellow on his way to town.
We’re going to try him at the special
term of October court for that. 1
