HARTWELL, HART COUNTY, GA., FRIDAY, APRIL 25, 1924
Georgia Counties Get Over
$250,000 From Gasoline
Tax; Hart Gets $1205.45
The sum of $266,473.84 has been
mailed the various counties of Geor
gia, representing their share of the
receipts for the first three months of
1924, under the new State gasoline
tax of 3 cents per gallon. Os this
sum about $30,000 belongs to the
last quarter of 1923, the funds not
being available when checks for that
period were mailed out in January,
it was stated.
Hart county received the sum of
$1,205.45.
The amount sent the various coun
ties is one-third of the total gaso
line tax receipts. One-third goes to
treasury for paying off the W. & A.
railroad rental warrants, which were
discounted some time ago.
Due to the fact that automobiles
are used less during the winter
months, it is expected that the oth
er quarters of the year will show a
heavy increase in receipts from the
gasoline tax.
Emanuel county received the larg
est check $4,667.93; Rockdale coun
ty the smallest $393.27. Fulton
county received $1,753.61.
Under the provisions of the law,
these sums are to be spent ay coun
ties on mainteance and building of
public roads.
Hart county for the last quarter of
1923 received $1,054.06.

A variety of subjects ranging
from the clean-up campaign to golf
held the attention of Hartwell Ki
wanians at their regular meeting last
Friday.
Mr. Jack G. Craft was given a
warm welcome back home after the
winter season during which time he
stayed at his Daytona hotel, The
Williams. He stressed the impor
tance of getting the country club
links, club house and lake fixed as
soon as possible, stating that the
project had been commented on most
favorably by tourists who gone out
to the place while stopping over m
Hartwell.
“Work day” was voted on, upon
motion of Kiwanian J. IL Bar* n,
at which time another road will be
constructed to the golf links.
The golf bug has bitten a large
number of people here, and the tem
porary five-hole course is rarely va
cant these days. The regular nine
hose links will be open within the
next 40 to 60 days.
Kiwanian A. C. Skelton told of
the new bus line to be established
from Atlanta through Hartwell to
Anderson, Greenville and Ashev : !’e,

stated.
Among the others taking part *:i

Mr. Isham H. Brown, of Hickcry,

and President Conwell to represent
the Georgia Association on the board
of trustees of the American Cotton
Growers’ Exchange. The exchange
is composed of all state cotton co
operatives and is the overhead or
ganization to more effectively mar
ket the cotton of the more than
250,000 southern farmers who are
members of cotton co-operative mar
keting associations, it was pointed
out.
The association numbers approxi
mately 40,000 Georgia cotton pro
aftiong themselves to market their
ducers who have signed contracts
among themselves to market their
cotton cooperatively and orderly
over the entire cotton year, and it
was announced that the association
had received considerably more cot
ton during 1923 than was received
in 1922, the first year of its opera
tion, notwithstanding that the Geor
gia crop in 1923 was more than
100,000 bales less than was produced
in 1922.
The directors took immediate steps
toward putting on a membership
campaign and optimism was express
ed as to possibilities for many new
members being signed up in the as
sociation this year. The member
ship campaign last year added thou
sands of members to the associa
tion’s membership roll.

The Crop Outlook
Crop preparations are off to an
exceedingly bad start with the belt
generally about three weeks late
and weather conditions showing no
substantial improvement. Present
indications are that there will be
an attempt to increase acreage which
may be counteracted by exceeding
ly unfavorable conditions for crop
preparations in the Blacklands < f
the Belt which are incidentally par
ticularly subject to the boll weevil.
The use of fertilizer will probably
show a slight increase. In the
meantime very few of the farmers
and planters are taking much inter
est in the use of calcium arsenate.
The labor supply is inadequate and
apparently confined to women and
children, and men who are not able
to make good at the lumber milk, or
at railroad construction and the hea
vier work incident to such activi
ties. Under the influence of such
conditions we are emphatic in our
belief that the increased use of fer
tilizer and increased acreage will
simply result in a smaller yield per
acre. Therefore, we conclude that
the yield will be greater if the acre
age is smaller and thereby more in
tensely cultivated. We see no rea
son just now for expectations of a
crop the coming year much if any
larger than last year.
