' The Covered Wagon” Here This Week Hartwell and Hart county people have the opportunity Thursday and rriday of this week to see at the lo- Ca ‘ theatre one of the outstanding loving pictures of the day, “The Covered Wagon.” It is not to be compared with the average run of pictures, but is of the type that may well be seen by any person, one that will interest and enlighten.

'Sun Hatches Eggs Believe or not, — Mr. Toombs H. Kay, of Royston 2, one of Hart county’s most progres sive farmers and truthful citizens found a deserted nest of 14 eggs close up under a tin roof in an out house, and within a few days the sun had hatched them all out. This happened during the ex tremely hot weather some few weeks back, and The Sun had had several to vouch for the truthfulness of the occurrence. The heat pouring down on the roof during the day stored sufficient heat in the hay and fodder to last during the night, and thus the hen was re lieved of her job. At any rate, Mr. Kay has 14 ad ditional little chicks and you can go to his house and investigate if you wish. We aren't going to stand up and tell anybody that the sun wasn’t hot enough to hatch eggs during the past few weeks. o REED CREEK SCHOOL TO OPEN ON NEXT MONDAY The regular nine months’ term of the Reed Creek High School will open on Monday, September Ist.

M., will hold its regular communica tion next Tuesday night, September 2, in the Masonic hall. All qualified Brothers cordially in vited. ISHAM P. VICKERY, W. M. B. S. HALL, Secretary. staunch, courageous, rugged and honest —a character which Charles Ogle imbues with such admirable at tributes as to endear him anew to every one who sees him. The cara van starts on the memorable jour ney. Week after week, month after month the nation-builders move on ward. When courage begins to fail it is Will Banion, dashing and fear less, who cheers drooping spirits; and when the trail seems lost it is Banion’s inseparable companion and trusted friend, Jackson, the famous scout who keeps them moving in the right direction. When dissension breaks out with in the ranks Will Banion and his fol lowers leave the train and head for California, answering the lure of the gold “strike.” Wingate and his little band push on to Oregon. Then in the springtime when new life is blooming over the fertile fields of the land of promise Will Banion, cleared of the false charges his rival had fostered against him, and rich from his gold prospecting in Cali fornia, goes to claim Molly Wingate, who. true to her promise, was “wait ing for him in Oregon. But though the characters are marvelouslv drawn and faultlessly portraved, it is the tremendous theme back of the story, the greht force of historv-making events, that makes “The Covered Wagon” the momentus achievement that it is. A thousand cattle swimming a treacherous river; a buffalo chase that ends in bringing down quarry that is to satisfy gnaw ing hunger; a prairie fire that sweeps like the wind across the nlam—and always the sturdy little band driv ing on!

St. Louis Urges Colored People To Stay Away Mayor Richardson and the city of ficials have received a copy of reso lutions from the City Council of East St. Louis, Mo., calling atten tion to the fact that the influx of colored people from the South had over-run all the industries in that section and the idle now numbered several thousand, with no prospect of relief. Curtailment of activity in the coal mines and steel industries were responsible for the labor conditions, it was said, and the resolutions urged the Hartwell officials to wage a campaign against more colored peo ple leaving for that section with ex pectation of getting work.

HART COUNTY FAIR THIS FALL IS ALMOST ASSURED SAY BACKERS The report of a combined county fair committee, composed of mem bers of the Kiwanis Club and citi zens from the county at large, fea tured the meeting of Kiwanians last Friday, when a fair for 1924 was urged, and a number of enthusiastic talks made that brought the im portance and need of the fair very forcibly to the minds of all present. The fair program was in charge of President W. B. Morris of the fair association last year, and mak ing- enthusiastic talks were W. S. Long, H. L. Fry, H. W. Bingham and R. C. Thornton. The importance of setting the date at once was emphasized by Prof. Fry, who stated that the va rious annual community fairs could not be set until the county date was arranged. The fact that Hart county this year has five vocational agriculture teachers in her schools will help put the fair over in successful style. The value of schools co-operating with the fair and other helpful sug gestions were brought out that will make the 1924 fair the best the county has ever held. A number of visitors were pres ent 'at the regular meeting last Fri day, as follows: Dr. Jas. W. Nor man, of Gainesville, Fla., Rev. R. E. Telford, of Greenville, Ga., Mr. V. E. Satterfield, of Atlanta, Mr. R. H. Smith, of New York, Mr. L. C. Mur phy, of Atlanta, Mr. Lon W. Cobb, of Hartwell, Mrs. T. S. Mason, Miss Pauline Mason and Miss Allie Gaines, of Hartwell, all making short and interesting talks. In the absence of President Jas. H. Skelton former President R. E. Matheson presided. Reed Creek And Mt. Olivet Will Decide Baseball Championship of Hart County Three of the biggest baseball games Hartwell and the county have seen this season are being played Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of this week at Allman field, this city. Reed Creek and Mt. Olivet, two of the leading (Communities of Hart county in every particular, and who have “fit, bled and died” all summer on the-baseball diamond, have de cided definitely and conclusively to settle the question for 1924, at least, as to which team is the champion of all Hart county. Picked men from both communi ties make up the two teams that are to decide the important question. In addition to the crowds these communities will send for each game, Hartwell and other sections of the county are very much interested in the championship and there will be “rooters” for each side galore. The games are called at 4 P. M., and are put on under auspices of the Hart County Post American Le gion. REED CREEK ORGANIZES GOOD ROADS CLUB A series of meetings were held re cently at Reed Creek school for the purpose of discussing road prob lems and to devise plans whereby the citizens of the school district could cooperate with the county in improving the roads in the school district over which the school trucks operate. As a result of these meet ings and a growing sentiment in favor of good roads the citizens of Reed Creek will volunteer their co operation with the county officials and will make every effort possible to better the roads over which the trucks operate. A large number of citizens have offered their services free of charge toward helping to keep bad places in the roads soiled during the winter months and in dragging the roads regularly after rains. The truck routes have been sub divided into eight divisions. A com mittee of citizens living on or near the route has been selected for each route. The committees on each of the routes are as follows: P. H. Holland, W. H. Nixon, T. 11. Wright and T. Thrasher. Ferd Senkbeii, W. B. McMullan and G. Rumsey. J. H. Roukoekie, T. H. Madden and J. T.

The tonnage passing through this canal is greater than that pass ing through the Suez Canal. Tax Levies of Various Counties In This Section To settle a discussion as to wheth er the tax levy of Oglethorpe county was higher or lower than that of other counties a party a few days ago wrote to authorities in Atlanta to obtain the levy in the thirteen counties of the Eighth Congressional district. The Comptroller - General promptly supplied the following ta ble showing the levy both for county purposes and the school tax levy in the several counties: County School Tax Tax Mills Mills Clarke 8 4.25 Elbert 12.50 2 Franklin 15 5 Greene 15 4.2 Hart 16 5 Jasper 15 5 Madison 12 5 Morgan 13 4 Oconee 11 4 Oglethorpe 12 1 Putnam 13.50 5 Walton 15 5 Wilkes 10 5 —-Oglethorpe Echo. • o Kindergarten Opens Monday I shall open my Kindergarten on Monday, September Ist.

Norman Reunion The old Norman homeplace, two miles east of Hartwell, now the home of Chas. W. Norman, was the scene of much activity on last Friday, August 22, 1924, when the children of the late Peyton S., and Zedora F. Norman, together with the grand children, relatives and a number of friends came “home” for a day of pleasure and reunion. Preparations had been made and all was in readiness for the crowd which began to arrive in the early morning. At the noon hour a real old-fashioned barbecue dinner, pre pared by the expert barbecue chef, Mr. Frank Eaves, of Elberton, was served the guests in the grove at the left of the home. Together with this was served many other delicious delicacies brought by the members of the family. Late in the afternoon a real watermelon cutting was pro vided. The Norman family needs no in troduction to our people. They are among the county’s oldest residents and have always taken an active part ■ in all that is upbuilding in civic and religious life. They are descended j from a long line of distinguished an i cestors dating to the Revolutionary War. Among those who were registered Friday were Mr. and Mrs. Chas. W. i Norman, Mr. and Mrs. W. P.

FIRST BALE NEW COTTON HERE TUESDAY The first bale of cotton from the 1924 crop was sold in Hartwell Tues day at noon by Mr. B. A. Lewis, of Mt. Zion community. The bale weighed 470 pounds, and brought 30c, Mr. Chas. E. Matheson, of the firm of J. D. Matheson & Sons, being the buyer. Mr. C. H. Bailey ginned the cot ton for Mr. Lewis. Cotton is opening rapidly in the county and within the next few days the hum of the gin wiM be heard in every community. It is expected that the number of bales produced in Hart will exceed the 1923 crop. TWO WHOPPERS COME IN Interest in The Sun’s “biggest Hart-county-grown watermelon con test” took on renewed life last Mon day afternoon when two melons that looked like young elephants, so to speak, were brought in by Mr. W. C. House, well-known citizen of Dewy Rose 2, and by Mr. Colley A. Ayers, prominent citizen of Bowman 3. A stiff scare was thrown in the camp of the other contestants to date, and threats have been made that melons even larger than those already brought in will be entered provided a little rain will come along and help turn the trick. At any rate, we shall see what we shall see, whatever that is, and on September 16th the contest closes, the winners to be announced in The Sun of that week. Singularly, the melons brought in so far have all been of the Jones variety, which seems to be a favor ite variety in the lower part of Hart county. Wonder if Reed Creek, Sardis, Air Line or Goldmine sections have pro duced any large melons this year? In making estimates on the cost of the air mail recently established between San Francisco and New York it appears that on the first eastward flight eight thousand pieces of mail were carried and $2,308.48 received. This netted a profit of more than forty per cent, or to be exact, $539.68.
