Saturday Will Be “Dollar Day” In Hartwell
GAY COMMENCEMENT SEASON DRAWS TO A CLOSE FRIDAY EVENING
All Merchants Unite For
Big Annual Sales Event
buyers from all nearby
lOWNS AND COUNTIES WILL
COME HERE FOR EVENT -
Hartwell storey have unanimously
joined in the move to make Satur
day of this week one of the biggest
trade events this section has ever
seen, offering bargains for “Dollar
'Day” that will justify shoppers com
ing many miles to buy.
Many merchants have secured ex
tra help for the big day Saturday,
and it is expected that the trading
public will be out buying early in
the day,—it’s going to be a whole
“Dollar Day” from early until late
Saturday night.
The merchants are busy arrang
ing stocks and are preparing to serve
the buyers of Hart and adjoining
counties and states with the biggest
bargains of the year.
“The beauty of Dollar Day,” said
lone of Hartwell’s best house-keepers
this morning, “is that not just one
store is having a sale, but all the
stores are giving big values,” This
lady hit it right, because the buyer
is not confined to any one store or
anv one sale, but has the privilege
and opportunity afforded to buy from
any store in Hartwell, and has the
assurance that merchants who have
advertised Dollar Day Specials will
be right there on the job, with suffi
cient salespeople to promptly attend
k the wants of customers, without rush
*or confusion.
Merchants not only expect to have
a big day of sales, but also expect to
have the opportunit yto show their
stores and their service to numbers
of new customers. Merchants feel
that to get new customers into their
stores, and to satisfy them is good
business, even if goods have to be
acid at lower prices. That the goods
are being sold at lower prices is
evidenced in this week’s paper.
(The entire population knows that
Hartwell is going to have a big Dol
lar Day, and that real bargains are
offered.
Many of the stores have taken
pains to make places of business es
pecially attractive for Dollar Day
making up attractive window dis
plays.
Visitors to Hartwell are cordially
welcomed and every merchant and
everybody else in Hartwell is deter
n ied to show them a warm welcome
and to give them the best in the
city.

McGarity and Wife
Were Poisoned
The report of the chemist in At
lanta who has just completed a
th'rough examination pf the stom
a<h of Mr. B. Frank McGarity,
|w . , died at his home in Vanna re
cently, shows clearly that poison was
iuse of his death, and of course
caused that of Mrs. McGarity, who
died a day or two later.
Even though the undertakers had
removed the blood from Mr. Mc
yanty’s body and injected embalm
ing fluid there was still a trace of
tue poison sufficient to affirm the
F -Usp.c;on that they had both taken
a ,- ge quantity in their food er
drink.
Just what course will be taken
n °w is not known, but it is under-
P c that the matter is being look
cu into and some interesting devel-
Opiner.ts will very likely be made
The poison used was arsenate of
t 2 er “ kindred poison, the medical
‘-\ r -°t being given The Sun by
GJr informant.

SUNDAY SCHOOLS EXPECTING 1500
IN ATTENDANCE HERE JUNE IST;
WANT TO BEAT ’23 RECORD OF 1244
Hope To Surpass Last Years
Attendance by Over 200
AUTO OWNERS URGED TO HELP
SWELL ATTENDANCE BY
GOING AFTER PEOPLE
Fifteen hundred people in the
Sunday schools of Hartwell next
Sunday morning is the goal set for
“Go-to-Sunday-School Day” here, —
and committees from all the churches
are busily engaged in seeing that
the public knows about the special
event.
Let’* Beat Last Year.
The day had its origin in Hartwell
last year, although it is not a new
move by any means. The date last
year was June 3rd, when nearly
1300 people participated.
To set the goal at 1500 is not
putting it too far ahead of 1923,
and if every man, woman and child
will get busy NOW there won’t be
one vacant seat in the Hartwell
churches at 10 o’clock next Sun
day morning.
Use Your Car.
There are many elderly people
living several blocks away from the
churches who could be brought in
Sunday morning. It is also hoped
that every baby large Enough to
bring to Sunday schooll will be pres
ent.
Use your automobile in getting
the people to attend; sdve someone
a long walk, —it will do you good
to be thoughtful for others next
Sunday morning.
Hartwell has the reputation of
being a church-going city. Why not
attract state-wide attention next
Sunday by filling the Sunday schools
to overflowing?
Tell your neighbors that you and
your family are going.
Bring the visitors, too.

Help of Autoists Sought By State In
Effort to Tag All Cars In Georgia
The state revenue department has
launched a campaign to compel the
registration of every automobile us
ing the public highways by August
1, and has asked all automobile
owners in the state to co-operate in
the drive, it was announced Satur
day by John M. Vandiver, state
commissioner of revenues. Field
agents of the department will travel
all over the state searching for vio
lators of the motor vehicle law dur
ing June and July, Mr. \ andiver
said.
Citizens are expected to aid the
department in the campaign, be
cause it is not fair for one auto
mobile owner to pay the state license
when another is using the state
hikhways without contributing to
their maintenance, Mr. X andiver
declared. He added that it is not
necessary for informants to give
their names, but merely the number
of the old tag they use, or the model
and location of a car that is being
driven without any tag at all.
Mr X’andiver has sent out the fol
lowing appeal! to the citizens of the
state:
“All citizens of Georgia, and par
ticularly persons who have regis
tered their cars for 1924, are re
quested by the department of reve
nue, whenever a motor vehicle is
seen on the highways with a 1923
tag that the person observing the
same will immediately write to the
department of revenue, giving the
number of the 1923 tag, and the
place at which it was seen in use

Auto Tire and Accessory
Dealers Must Pay This Tax
Attention of ail auto tire, ac

whole county is directed to an an
nouncement in this issue of The
Sun by Tax Collector W. J. A.
Cleveland, who is required to issue
warrants for all who have not paid
their Special State Taxes for 1924.
Mr. R. N. Holt, Deputy Tax Col
lector for the State Department,
was here last week and checked over
the records, and requested Mr.
Cleveland to give the dealers in the
above named articles, as well as oth
ers subject to Special Taxes, one
more chance to save the extra costs
caused by issuing warrants against
them.
Parties subject to these taxes
should realize the fact that they
must be paid just like other taxes,
and that Mr. Cleveland has no con
trol over same. See him and be on
the safe side, as the new laws in
effect this year have already cost
Hart county people some extra
I money.

“If any citizen discovers a wrong
tag on a car, he will please report
that. It is unnecessary to sign any
name to a -card containing the in
formation above requested. Those
who have registered their cars
should take particular interest in
this matter, because the use of the
highways by an unregistered car is
an injustice to the patriotic citizen
who has complied with the law.

Road Boosters To Meet
The Sun is in receipt of a letter
from Editor Jas. P. Davidson, of
Cleveland, Helen county, inviting
the public to a good roads meeting,
the anniversary celebration of the
Nacoochee-Hiawassee Highway As
sociation, to be held at Hiawassee,
Ga., on June 2nd.
A barbecue and other features
have been arranged. It is said this
is one of the prettiest spots in Geor
gia, and local people who want to
take a day off for sight-seeing
might well see the wonders of north
Georgia.

New Power Line From Tallulah Falls To
Hartwell Gives Section Big Opportunity
“Power, and plenty of it, 24 hours
per day,” says Supt. T. W. Wilson,
of the Franklin Division of the Geor
gia Railway & Power Co., “is our
new motto.”
“When the Tallulah Falls line was
cut in last week this section was as
sured for all time of an unfailing
flow of electricity that will run ev
ery new industry that may come in
to the district,” he continued.
Local people who have kept up
with the development by the Georgia
Railway & Power Co. in this section
were highly gratified at the an
nouncement that Hartwell and the
other cities were now getting their
lights and power from the big plant
at Tallulah.
The plant at Tugalo is also being
operated now, and further develop
ments will be made by the company,
extending on down the river into
Hart county, if current rumor ma
terializes.
The flow now is slightly heavier
than the old power, which came
from Gregg Shoals, on the Savan
nah river below Elberton, giving
better lights and stronger power.
The lines will be kept intact, how
ever, and should one be cut off the
