Crop Outlook
Crop conditions according to last
report:
While the government’s last report
indicated crop slightly under 12,-
000,000 bales, when the trade ex
pected about 12,400,000 bales, it
has caused the trade throughout the
world to make a new alignment as
to what we may expect from the
growing crop. Telegrams yester
day covering the entire belt would
indicate that the crop is doing fairly
well, and that Texas could get along
comfortably for another ten days
without rain and without injury to
the crop, the idea being that high
temperatures have continued to
check the weevil, while rains would
have accelerated the weevil damage
to an extent probably in excess of
the damage from high temperatures.
The trade does not believe that the
crop is likely to be in excess of 12,-
000,000 bales, as the boll weevil
has to be considered, and will, as
usual, get in its work somewhere
around the Ist to 15th of August,
bearing in mind that the crop is
late, and the boll weevil aggression
will probably be correspondingly de
laved.
MARKET: With a 12,000,000
bale crop, which seems to be the
maximum, cotton at the prevailing
level, does not look high. In the
meantime, trade conditions, do not
look favorably on buying cotton just
now, but anticipate that when the
manufactured article again estab
lishes its value upon a paying basis
compared to raw cotton, we may
easily see very much higher prices.
CORN: Hot weather has prevail
ed over the main corn belt the past
week, and in some sections the crop
has made great improvement, but
there is very large territory that
may be regarded as almost hope
less as far as raising commercial
grain is concerned. I twill be sev
eral months possibly before the crop
can be accurately estimated, and the
vield will depend largely on when
the first killing frost occurs. The
apparent scarcity of old corn at
the moment is due in part to the fear
of the producer to part with nis
grain on account of the outlook for
the new crop. .
OATS: Harvesting is making rap
id progress in the territory of the
commercial crop, and we expect that
the final estimate on the yield this
vear will be around 1,400 million
bushels or 100 million bushels more
than harvested last year. The three
Canadian Provinces have
slightly in excess of 200 million
bushels or about 150 million bushels
less than last year. Feel that oats
price will remain relatively high.
HARTWELL, HART COUNTY, GA., FRIDAY, AUGUST 1, 1924
Wilson Highway Is
Now Organized
Dublin, Ga., July 26. —The Wil
son Memorial Highway association
was permanently organized here Fri
day. Delegates were present from
Hartwell, Milledgeville, Athens, Ir
winton and many other cities along
the line of the highway which tenta
tively reaches from Hartwell through
Athens to Dublin and on to WTay
cross. The highway organization
contemplates a great highway from
Washington, D. C., to southern
Florida.
The delegates were welcomed by
C. C. Crocker, president of the Dub
lin Chamber of Commerce, and was
responded to by J. L. Miller, secre
tary of the Milledgeville Kiwanis
club. The object of the meeting was
explained by J. F. Hart, Jr.
The following officers were elect
ed: President, George Carswell, of
Irwinton; vice president, Howard En
nis, of Milledgeville; second vice
president, M. J. Abney, of Athens;
secretary, W. H. Proctor, of Dublin;
treasurer, Mr. J. G. Crafts, of Ath
ens.
The directors are Foster C.
Brown, Hartwell; J. W. Barnett,
Athens; G. C. McKenny, Milledge
ville; J. H. Duggan, Irwinton; Hugh
M. Hill, Alamo; F. A. Roberts, Dub
lin; George O. Griffith, Danielsville;
Ben S. Thompson, Madison; C. C.
Parsons, Watkinsville, and B. L.
Bond, Royston.
Congressman W. W. Larsen told
of the sentiment behind the naming
of the proposed highway. W. T. An
derson, editor of the Macon Tele
graph, and a member of the state
highway commission, in a plea for
good roads, explained that only one
half of the funds received by the
state for license tags and gasoline
tax went to the state highway de
partment, the balance being applied
under the law for other purposes.
Mr. Anderson stated that the depart
ment was highly in favor of the Wil
son Memorial Highway and would
co-operate to make it a success.
At noon dinner was served after
which the delegates were addressed
by Senator William J. Harris on the
subject, “Georgia Opportunity.”
Senator Harris made a strong plea
for better roads and paid a glowing
tribute to the late President Wood
row Wilson, after whom this propos
ed highway is to be named.

County Health Board Issues
Warning Against Fever And
Smallpox; Urge Vaccination
The County Board of Health
wishes to call to the attention of the
public the fact that there is much
typhoid fever over the state and in
some places it has reached the epi
demic stage; also that nearby cities
are suffering from many cases of
typhoid.
Typhoid fever can be be prevent
ed by vaccination. The State Board
of Health furnishes bacteria free.
This can be secured at the drug
stores by yourself or physician. In
order to be immune from typhoid
fever vaccination should be used
every two years. We think it ad
visable to make yourself immune
from typhoid fever. Another pre
vention of typhoid is to screen your
homes so as to keep out the house
fly which is a typhoid carrier.
Small Pox.
The State Board of Health has is
sued warnings against small pox
which has also become prevalent in
many localities in Georgia, and in
other states. Small pox can also be
prevented by vaccination. This vac
cination is also furnished free by the
State and can be secured as typhoid
bacteria from the drug stores. Dur
ing the last few months the County
Board of Health through the co
operation of the people was able to
stamp out six epidemics of small
pox in different localities in the
county by vaccination. Make your
self immune from these diseases by
calling on your physician and being
vaccinated. The County Board of
Health is always ready and willing
to assist the public in stamping out
contagious or communicable dis
eases.

Progressive Cannonites Ask Hart
well and Hart County To Lend
Co-operation In New Road
A delegation from our neighbor
ing city of Canon, five of that thriv
ing city’s most beautiful, charming
and progressive women, composed
the main attraction at the regular
meeting of the Hartwell Kiwanis
Club last Friday.
They were Mrs. Don T. Barnes,
Mrs. T. G. Phillips, Mrs. T. R. Bur
ton, Mrs. D. Talmadge Bowers and
Miss Sallie Claude Duncan, coming
here as guests of the club to ask
their co-operation in an effort to
establish through Canon a highway
leading on into Atlanta, to be known
as the “Piedmont Airline Highway.”
Branching off from the Bankhead
Highway the route would lead into
Canon taking up the good road al
ready built to Carnesville, thence
along the regular route through that
section.
This is a direct line, and the Can
on citizens are exerting every pos
sible effort to have the road put in
good shape to their city.
This additional highway out of
Hartwell will give the tourists an
other reason for coming via our
city. We now have the Bankhead
and Woodrow Wilson Highways. The
“Piedmont Airline Highway” sounds
good, and the route is feasible.
The co-operation of the club was
pledged the delegation of women
from Canon, who represented not on-
Iv the city of Canon but the Woman’s.
Club.
Talk Paving.
The program was then taken over
by Kiwanian J. H. Barton, who
stressed the need of paving in Hart
well, and especially the importance
of paving just now the highway
leading through our city. Others
talking on this subject were Mayor
Richardson, Dr. W. I. Hailey and
Judge Hodges.
Chairman W. L. Murrow of the
combined committee from the Coun
try Club and Kiwanis Club, stated
that the barbecue would be given
Friday afternoon, August Bth, at 6
o’clock, members of both cluba
bringing their wives and sweethearts.
Tickets are now on sale.
A municipal bathing pool was
urged by Kiwanian Jack G. (’raft,
which matter was referred to the
Public Affairs committee, a report
to be made later.
Kiwanian W. E. McCurry stated
that the club house at the country
club would be erected as soon as
possible, urging Kiwanians who were
members to pay their notes as due
in order that the work might pro
ceed.
Miss Lucile Carter provided a
number of beautiful selections at the
piano during the session.
