-HARTWELL PUBLIC SCHOOLS EDITION-
HARTWELL, HART COUNTY, GA., FRIDAY, AUGUST 15, 1924
I New Mt. Olivet School House
Will Be One of County's Best
Work on the new Mt. Olivet Con
solidated School building is progres
sing rapidly, and when completed
will give to that section of Hart
county one of the most modern
structures to be found in northeast

The location seems to be ideal,
giving the place a commanding ap
pearance from all approaches.
The new school district is com
posed of Flat Shoals, Kings Bench
and Midway schools, and will have a
large enrollment.
The trustees are Messrs. E. F.
McLane, W. J. Bailey and T. W.
Sanders.
There are ten rooms and a large
auditorium in the building, a one
story structure.

Suddenly
Mr. W. P. Elrod, age 61, of La
vonia, died suddenly Tuesday morn
ing in Anderson, S. C., where he
had gone on a business trip.
For many years, Mr. Elrod was in
business in Hartwell, being known to
many of our people over the county.
Death came suddenly to Mr. El
rod, who was apparently in good
health, attending to his business af
fairs the day before as usual.
Mr. Elrod was formerly in the
hardware business but for the past
ten years had been representing lo
cally a farm loan company in At
lanta.
He is survived by his wife, two
sons, Messrs. Will E., and Garnet

Morgan Williams, of Lavonia.

a splendid corps of teachers for
1924-25.

Monday.
City Water is “Okeh”
City Water Supt. Hoyt Baker re
ceived first of the week the result
of the regular monthly analysis of
of our water from Dr. H. C. Wood
fall, of the State Board of Health.
It is a source of gratification and
relief to know that the water is in
good shape and perfectly safe for
drinking purposes, since other cities
not far off are having fever epi
demics.
Supt. Baker looks closely after
Hartwell’s water, and there are no
cases of fever in the city where city
water has been used.

Trio In Race For
Legislature
Mr. Je»se F. Olbon Enters Race For
Legislature—Zellars and McDuff
Are Other Two Aspirants
The race for Representative from
Hart county took on a three-corner
ed aspect last Saturday afternoon,
when Mr. Jesse F. Olbon. prominent
citizen and former warden of the
county, entered his name on the list
for this place.
The other two aspirants are Cols.
B. B. Zellars and J. A. McDuff, of
Hartwell.
The date for entrance into the
race closed last Saturday night.
i The State primary will be held
J September 10th, with a run-over in
Hart county for the two highest can
didates in the legislative race.
First Bloom Replanted Crop
The first bloom from the cotton
replanted in the hailstorm area of
Hart county, which occurred June
14th, was brought in last Saturday
by Mr. Parker A. Banister, of Gold
| mine, who used the pedigreed Col
> lege No. 1 seed, and which he plant
!eo on June 19th and 20th.
Cotton is looking fine in that sec
tion for such a late planting, and
seems to be fruiting pretty good.
Auto Tag Law Violators
Run Risk of Prosecution
It is a violation of the State auto
tag law to take the tag from one
car and place it on another.
County Officer L. S. Skelton re
ports that he has found four coun
■ terfeit 1924 tags so far this year,
j exhibiting one Monday that was a
j pretty good job, but not good enough
to escape the officer’s eye.
The transferring of tags, operat
ing without tags and other violations
of the law might cause trouble, and
since the State officers will be here
again soon, it behooves every car
owner in Hartwell and the county to
“fix things just right” so we can
pass inspection.
o
Storm Late Saturday
The heaviest rain, wind and hail
storm this immediate section has ex
perienced in time visited Hartwell
late Saturday afternoon. A number
of trees were blown down, and crops
damaged some.
