HARTWELL, HART COUNTY, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY A 1924
U. D. C. Play
March 13th
“A Debt of Honor,” will be pre
sented at the High School Auditorium
on Thursday night, March 13th. Ther*
are several other attractions booked
during the month, but Hartwell has
always responded with a packed house
to local talent, and the fact that this
is the first “show” by the original
Dramatic Club, in several years, will
prove a great drawing card.
There will be several theatre par
ties from neighboring cities and our
county schools, as this nlay will no
doubt prove a treat for all. It is a
very heavy drama in four acts with
a wonderful moral, and contains the
strongest cast ever in a play given
here. The price of admission will be
such as to enable all to attend, and
seats will be on sale at an early
I date at the usual places.
An applause of approval has al
ways greeted DeWitt Teasley’s ap
pearance upon the Hartwell stage and
as Robert Glenn, the New York bank
er, he is at his best.
From a family, long noted for its
histrionic ability. James Walton Ma
gill, as Gilbert Hall, is at much at
east on the stage as on the streets of
Hartwell.
Ebenezer says, “Some folks thinks
that a nigger won’t steal, but I know
bettah,” and when vou see Col. T. S.
Mason carry off this negro comedy,
you’ll think that he knows it all.
Mrs. R. C. Linder, as leading lady,
assumes a very difficult role, and
playing opposite to Isham Vickery,
leading man, and James W. Magill,
juvenile lad, furnishes intense emo
tional acting throughout the play.
Sally will capture the audience
fromt he very beginning, and in the
hypnotising scene will easily bring
vou under her spell—Sally being Mrs.
James W. Magill.
I Maria, Pedro’s wife, really has ' a
i more gentle heart than her villianotls
husband, yet backs him, heartily,
through fear in his low deeds, which
part is admirably rendered by Mrs. T.
S. Mason.

Day To Register
Those Who Have Moved Should
See That Names Are On
The List Correctly
If you expect to vote in the ap
proaching Hart County Primary elec
tion you must qualify by next Mon
day night, March 3rd —for the regis
tration bvoks close on that day, and
unless you have paid your taxes and
sign up properly it will be useless to
appear at the polls election day.
And that’s that —both for male and
female, so it behooveth each and
every one who hath not qualified to
busy himself or herself about this im
portant duty.
Registration blanks, containing the
voter’s oath, place of residence and
other necessary information may be
had at office of Tax Collector W. J. A.
Cleveland, at Judge Scott’s office, and
perhaps other places in court house
—at any rate, there is no excuse for
not being on the list unless you just
naturally don’t want to take part in
the election of the officers for your,
county.
Remember, Monday, March 3rd, is
the last day to qualify.

HAD $663,283,000 MORE ON
HAND THAN END OF 1922
Report Shows Where Georgia’s
Money Came From Last
Year—And How Much
The State of Georgia was exactly
$693,283.75 better off when the year
1923 ended than she was when it be
gan. These figures represent the diff
erence in the balance in the state
treasury between January 1, 1923, and
January 1, 1924, according to figures
given out in office of the comptroller
general in Atlanta.
Total revenues of the state for the
year 1923 were $13,222,122.1'6 com
pared to $12,889,801,22 for 1922,
while expenditures were reduced from
$12,984,534.82 in 1922 to $12,528,-
838.41 in 1923.
Receipts from general taxes in 1923
were $4,960,696.01, while in 1922 they
were $5,256,559.93, showing a drop cf
almost $300,000. This was more than
made up, however, by the motor vehi
cle tax, which increased from $1,831,-
274.69 in 1922 to $2,156,406.08.
Items of Revenue
Fuel oil taxes $962,986.58

The fuel oil tax, which brought to
the treasury $962,986.58 in 1923, com
pared with $739,188.35 in 1922, is ex
pected to exceed $3,000,000 for 1924,
on account of the increases in the
state tax rate from 1 cent on the gal
lon to 3 cents per gallon, which went
into effect on October 1 last.

HARTWELL METHODISTS
TO HELP OLD MINISTERS
The Hartwell Station of the Meth
odist Episcopal church, south, Rev.
J. H. Barton, pastor, has accepted
$2025.00 as a minimum quota t raise*
within the five years for the cause of
Superannuate Endowment of that de
nomination. The goal for the entire
church of this movement is $10,000,-
000.00, the income from which is to
be used for the support of the aged
and infirm ministers and widows and
orphans of ministers.
The campaign for the fund is be
ing directed by the Board of Finance
of the Southern Methodist church, St.
Louis, Mo., Bishop W. F. McMurry,
chairman and Dr. Luther E. Todd,
secretary. The latter has issued and
sent to all pastors a booklet, “The
Call of the Forgotten Man,” which
tells the pathetic story of the great
need, asks the church to remember
him with substantial giving and out
lines plans for raising the sum
sought.
According to reports received by
the board, over 2,000 pastoral charges,
have up to this time accepted mini
mum quotas asked of them and many
of them have voluntarily increased
the amounts. Several large individual
gifts have already been announced
and others are expected.
There are over 900 of the old
preachers, many of them pioneer cir
cuit riders who rode thr .ugh storm
and sunshine, winter and summer
day and night, to serve humanity
and the church, 1,300 widows and ■6OO
orphans, many of whom are living
in little better than poverty. They
never forgot duty and the church for
a single moment, and there is now
evidence on all sides that the church is
at last thoroughly awake to its duty
to its forgotten servants
o—
It is easier to forget a favor than
I it is to forgive an fnjurj.
