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.

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.

Business Folk and Busy Housewives Join Hands To Make City Pretty and Healthy 0 Many streets, yards, homes and , business houses have been made to look brighter as a result of the “Clean-Up-Paint-Up" sampaign in Hartwell this week. Hundreds of wagon loads of rub bish have been sent to the munici pal garbage grounds, and the old home town is looking fresher “every day in every way.” In fact, Hartwell is a beautiful J. E. Conwell Again Heads Georgia Cotton Growers; Thornton Is Director ANNUAL MEETING WAS HELD IN ATLANTA LAST WEEK Reports Showed Organization Has Made Remarkable Record—New M embers Being Added Mr. J. Ed Conwell, prominent citi zen of Hart county, has been re elected president of the Georgia Cotton Growers’ Co-operative Asso ciation, and Mr. Thos. B. Thornton, another leading citizen of this coun ty, was re-named a director at the annual meeting held in Atlanta last week. Mr. Conwell has headed the or ganization since its incorporation in 1922, both he and Mr. Thornton taking a leading part in putting the proposition over in Georgia. W. A. Reeves, of LaGrange, and W. T. McArthur, Sr., of McGregor, were re-elected vice presidents of the association, and Claude Eubank, of Eastman, was again named secre tary. The executive committee consists of the president ,the two vice-presi dents and two elective members and to fill these two place the board se lected A. K. Snead, of Carrollton and A. M.

Eastman, state director, which acknowledges two iarge boxes of wearing apparel for both boys and girls sent direct from Hartwell to the warehouse in Brooklyn, N. Y. Mr. Phillips wishes to express his appreciation to all who helped in the drive either by soliciting or giving. In this letter Mr. Eastman said, in part: “Such gifts as the people of Hartwell have just made is assist ing in no small way to prepare these children to help rebuild and re-or ganize those distracted and disorder ed Near East countries.” • () ...... r\ I ) 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, N. C. This will start in June, it was stated. Among the others taking part *:i the discussions were President J. H. Skelton, W. B. Morris, J. I. Allman, R. E. Matheson. Mr. Isham H. Brown, of Hickcry, Miss., was a guest of Dr. W. I. Hai ley. Miss Mary Linder played the piano during the hour, and this with a num ber of spicy songs led by R. E. Ma theson made the program enjoy# de, indeed. SINGING AT JWtThEBRON There will be a singing at Mt. Hebron next Sunday afternoon at 3 o’clock. Messrs. J. H. Baker, J. E. Casey and others will be present. Everybody cordially invited. o . - — place anyway. The pretty grass, blooming and budding tree-, all add to the efforts of our citizens in mak ing the city even prettier as the spring time bursts into its fitii frag rance. (That’s getting rather poetic, is it not?) At any rate, if you haven’t done just a little cleaning and painting around the old domicile, there s still plenty of time; the campaign lasts the year 'round, folks. 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. TOCCOANS WILL BRING MINSTRELS HERE 29TH Splendid Attraction Will Appear Here Next Tueiday Night The Toccoa Shrine Club and American Legion will bring their minstrels to Hartwell next Tuesday night, April 29th, appearing in thA new auditorium.

There are 22 people, 20 of whom are blackface comedians, in the show. They will offer their own conception of “The Garden of Mirth,” or a study in black and white. A quartette will add to the har mony. Admission will be: Adults 50c, children 35c. Benefit Hartwell High School. —— , o 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. -M ■ ■ """■ CANDLER’S CHAPEL Rev. J. J. Hiott is holding a meet ing at Candler’s Chapel this week. We hope that all that can will come. The singing begins 25 minutes till 8 o’clock. Everybody is invited to attend these night services.
