COLORED PEOPLE ARE
RETURNIG FROM NORTH
Almost daily some of the colored
people who were lured to the North
by the prospect of higher wages re
turn to this section of the State, and
m several instances their relatives
here have had to send them money
with which to pay their passage back
to their homes. A few of them have
-aved enough to pay their passage
tack to their respective homes. A
few of them saved enough to pay their
own way and have placed some money
on deposit in the local banks, having
returned South because they did not
like the prospect of spending the wint
er up North. All of them report that
th living expenses required the ex-
P* "ditures of nearlv all that they re
ceived, and thev are more than will
ing to remain here in the future, as
they are among friends, while up
North thev were among total strang
ers and did not know what would hap
pen to them if misfortune should over
take them. There are many others
who would like to return if they could
save enough to defray the expenses
of the trip.

A committee from the Hartwell Ki
wanis Club met with representatives
from the other cities along the route,
at a meeting held in Athens first of the
week in interest of the highway
through this section, better known as
the Bankhead Highway, and now one
of the foremost routes through the en
tire South, leading from the North
and East.
Chairman Jno. H. Holder, of the
State Highway Commission, was pres
ent, and a determined effort wnll be
made to put the road in good shape,
especiallly between Hartwell and Ath
ens.
Church Night December 2nd
Following up a suggestion by Ki
wanian J. jl. Skelton, the Club will ob
serve “Church Night” one Sunday
evening in each month, beginning on
next Sunday night, December 2nd, at
the Hartwell Methodist church, hon
oring the return of the pastor there,
Rev. J. Hamby Barton, who, together
with Rev G. J. Davis and Rev. James
Bradley, are very active Kiwanians.
Every Kiwanian with his wife and
children, or sweethearts, is expected
to be present in the service which will
be a union meeting of all the churches
and their members.
Special Program Soon
A committee is at work on a spe
cial program to be rendered at an ear
ly meeting of the Club, participated
in by the members. Can vou imagine
“Ank” Alford and “Doc” Hailey sing
ing a duet? You have a vivid imag
ination if you can. .
“Ladies” Night,” the annual jollifi
cation event among Kiwanians, when
they lay aside business affairs, will be
observed sometime soon, also.
Visitors of the Day
Among the visitors present was Mr.
J W. Temples, well-known HartwelL
ite, and a “builder” by profession. He
was the guest of Dr. S. R. Patton.
Also Mr. 0. M. Motley, Atlanta busi
ness man, guest of Mr. E. E. Satter
field.
A Detroit (Mich.) Kiwanian was
also present, Mr. Thos. R. Sharpe, who
was enroute to Florida for the winter.
An optimistic note was sounded
when Kiwanian Jesse L. Massey, of
the First National Bank, told cf a re
cent report he had received from the
well-known firm of R. G. Dunn, inti
mating in his talk that they placed
Hartwell and the county far ahead of
any other town and county in this sec
tion cf the State financially.
Kiwanian Jack G. Craft, in from
Florida for a brief stay, emphasized
the need of paving in Hartwell, es
pecially the Bankhead Highway
through the city. There seems to be
no opposition, and it is hoped the city
and others concerned can succeed in
starting some paving here within the
next few months.

BOX SUPPER
There will be a box supper at Flat
Shoals school house on Thanksgiving
night, Thursday, November 29th.
The proceeds will go for the bene
fit of the school.

MISS IVY SEA WRIGHT,
Teachers.
HARTWELL, HART COUNTY, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1923
Georgia Co-Ops Get
20c First Payment
$3,750,000.00 Has Already Been
Paid Georgia Cotton Growers
On Their 1923 Crop
Directors of the Georgia Cotton
Glowers’ Co-cperative Association
have authorized all members to draw
20 cents ner pound as their initial pay
ment on their cotton at the time of
delivery, President J. E. Conwell an
nounced Tuesday.
The action cf the directors is now
in effect and all banks in the state,
through which the members draw their
drafts, have been notified to accept
drafts drawn for 20 cents per pound
on all cotton delivered to the asso
ciation until further notice. Previous
to this time the association had ad
vanced 15 cents per pound as initial
payment to the member when he de
livered his cotton.
It .was announced further Monday
that work has already been commenc
ed in sending cut 5 cents per pound
on all cotton delivered by members
heretofore, which, when completed,
will bring the ad'«ince up to 20 cents
per pound to all members.
The association officials stated fur
ther that mailing the additional 5
cents per pound will require several
days, but that this work will be done
as fast as possible.
On the same date last year the as
sociation had advanced to its mem
bers on the cotton delivered at that
time, less than $2,250,000. This year
the association has advanced approxi
mately $3,750,000 to its members, who
desired an advance at the time of de
livery. This year many thousands of
bales of cotton have been received
from members who did not desire an
advance when they delivered their cot
ton.
“This increase in our initial pay
ment is in line with the policy of the
assocaton to pav the members just as
much money as is consistent with good
business,” said Mr. Conwell.
“If we, as individuals and business
firms, are to prosper in Georgia, we
must co-operate. I mean, all of us —
farmers, merchants and bankers.
Our lack of understanding, wherever
such is the case, must be wiped out.
It is gratifying to kn .w that co-opera
tive marketing is doing this among so
many people and lines of business that
heretofore have not worked together
for mutual benefit.”

WANT ARSENATE ON U. S.
FREE TARIFF LIST; WILL
COME BEFORE CONGRESS
Vigorous efforts to amend the fed
eral law so as to nlace calcium arsen
ate upon the free list, will be made as
soon as Congress convenes in Decem
ber. This is clearly indicated in the
unanimous expressions of congress
men and senators from all the cotton
growing states, in replies they have
sent to a letter recently mailed by J.
J. Brown, Georgia commissioner of ag
riculture.
In his letter, Mr. Brown pointed out
how important calcium arsenate is in
the fight which the farmers of this
part of the country are making
against the boll weevil. He also re
minded the lawmakers that the tariff
of twentv-five per cent, placed upon
arsenate by the last congress, was
really the result of a misunderstand
ing of chemical terms, it reallv having
been the intent to place the tariff upon
another product altogether.
Congress would never, knowingly,
have imposed a duty upon calcium
arsenate, at the same time that prac
tically every agricultural authority of
the federal government, as well as the
agricultural departments and colleges
of all the cotton states, are advocating
the use of calcium arsenate as the one
dependable weapon to be used against
the boll weevil, said Mr. Brown.
The response to Mr. Brown’s let
ter to the cotton states delegations has
been practically unanimous. Every
member of those delegations has writ
ten that he will not only support such
an amendment to the tariff act, but
that he will, if necessary, join in in
troducing the desired amendment.
Thus it is felt to be practically an
assured fact that the effort will be
made and. if it is made, congress is
confidentlv expected to lift this bur
den from the shoulders of the cotton
growers, a burden never intended and
accidentally imposed in the first place.

POTASH AND LYE STILL
POPULAR WITH MAKERS
OF BOOZE SAYS DISMUKE
“Potash and lye are being used in
the illicit manufacture of whiskey in
G< orgia, judging from the quantities
of empty and partially filled cans
found by agents,” Director F. D. Dis
muke says in a report to Federal Pro
hibition Commissioner R. R. Haynes.
“The dea is evidently to hasten fer
mentation, but what really happens is
to hasten the death of the consumer,
for no stomach can stand the ravages.
The illicit distiller cares nothing for
the laws of sanitation or cleanliness,
and it is indeed strange that, knowing
this, people will continue to drink the
stuff.”

Baptist Church
It was a real pleasure to the pastor
to preach at nights last week at the
Chapel. It is also a joy to lead the
good women of our church in their
study of “The Prayer Life of Jesus”
by Dr. Dodd. There will be no prayer
services at our church Wednesday
night but we will have regular Sun
rise prayer meeting Thursday morn
ing at our church and we hope that
all people of all Creeds will come
to these services. Intended to extend
a written invitation to the other
church people but overlooked it, how
ever they are very cordially invited.
Next Sunday night we will worship
with the Methodist church since the
Kiwanians will have charge and since
it will be Bro. Barton’s first Sunday
after his return from Conference.
The S. S. Workers Council will be
held at church Friday evening at 7
o’clock. All officers and teachers of
our church will be expected to be pres
ent.
The pastor wishes to thank the men
again and again, who made such a lib
eral contribution towards the purchase
cf his car.

WOMEN OF 2023 TO SHAVE
HEADS; MEN WEAR CURLS
London, November 27.—Women of
2023 will be shaven-headed, and men
will wear curls, Sir Arthur Keith, the
famous anthropologist, predicts.
Sir Arthur Keith bases his prophecy
on the tendency of modern styles in
masculine and feminine hair-dressing.
The barbaric origin of most styles
he says, are shown by the feminine
aversion to showing the forehead, “an
instinctive urge to appear low-browed,
on the theory of Caucasian women of
4,000 years ago that men did not like
intellectual women.”
Sir Arthur also offers the thought
that women might vet adopt the sharp
pointed, sometimes blackened teeth af
fected by African natives. He pointed
out the penchant of the modern wo
man for the body-tatooing and ear
piercing aids to beautv of savages.
London women at the moment, it
might be said, are going in for the
mannish bob, known locally as “shing
ling”—very short at the backs, with
the usual ear-muffs at the side and a
Du'-hess of York fringe in front.
Hair-dressers are trying to intro
duce new styles in men’s hair, also.
They have but over the permanent
wave idea with the sort of men who
go in for that sort of thing, and at
their exhibition now going on have
offered among other things, the cox
comb part —parts on both sides, ris
ing in the middle in a graceful roll
running the length of the head from
| the forehead, if any. to the place which
the man subject to hereditary baldne s
feels every morning.
