‘TOR WHAT IT’S WORTH”
By E.8.8.,Jr.
Cotton must be in all of its glory
| now in Hart county. I can sit back
as I write this and see the fields of
white, the acres of well-tilled ground
f with row upon row of stalks, weight
, ed down with snowy whiteness, the
hot sun boiling down upon the army
of cotton pickers, the chant of the
negro singers as they pick steadily on
until the dark of evening. I can see
all this and more. The cotton piled
lup at the farm houses. The loading
of the wagons for the gin. The hum
! and roar of cotton gnns. The loaded
: wagons of cotton going to town.
: Depot street (“Wall Street”). With
its cotton buyers and cotton sellers, a
rush from morning until night if the
market be good. King cotton! It is
to the South what tobacco is to Ken
tucky or wheat and corn to the West.
We who live in Hart county are
fortunate this year. Crops are good
and prices will be equally as good,
in my opinion. As a matter of fact,
it seems, that joy reigns in all sec
tions of the cotton-belt for cotton
will bring good cheer in form of
cash. Out here in Oklahoma they
are raising a bumper crop this year.
According to Carl H. Robinson, sta
tistician for the federal department
of agriculture at Oklahoma City,
Oklahoma’s cotton crop this year is
the second largest in the United
States, being topped only by Texas.
Oklahoma’s cotton crop is estimated
at 1,289,000 bales and at present
prices is worth approximately SIBO,-
000,000 including the cotton seed.
Texas, as first, will yield 4,284,000
bales and Georgia as third, 1,209,-
000 bales. Then comes Arkansas,
and Mississippi. Picking is well un
der way out here and mixed with the
oil money, always prevalent through
the state, there is a feeling of opti
mism and happiness that reminds
one of the “good times” a few years
back.
And speaking of oil, it is still
spurting and sending its rich bounty
to the lucky ones through the state.
Flowing Gold! What a boon it has
beea to the adventurer and the
plunger! What a tremendous factor
it has been in the very life of Okla
homa. The lowly Indian of years
ago, deprived of his rightful lands,
is given the poorest land in the state
by the Government, a few years ago.
Now, it is the richest for oil came
forth and the magic wand of wealth
was waved, and, io! “There ain’t no
poor Indians.” In August, 26 new
petroleum companies were organ
ized in Oklahoma. Their total cap
ital reaches the immense sum of
$67,479,000! This compares with
31 companies formed in July, with a
total capital of $57,135,000, and 33
companies in June. Flowing Gold!
And the lucky Indian!
I remarked once before, that the
Osage tribe of Indians in Oklahoma
is the richest and most aristocratic
of all Indian folk. They are intel
ligent, shrewd, and hold their heads
high. They have married, and inter
married into the best white families
of the state. They are taking strong
places in the colleges and the busi
ness world. They are beginning to
take hold of the reins in state poli
tics and Government affairs. And
yet once the Government laughed at
them and pushed off some undesir
able land on them. Now look! This

(Athens Banner-Herald.)
We have it from reliable author
ity that the Dixie Company, that
owns the auto bus lines from Atlan
ta to Athens and Macon, Ga., during
the month of July cleared $2,000
after paying all expenses. A gallon
of gasoline will carry one of these
vehicles eight miles. When the link
in the Bankhead Highway between
Danielsville and Royston is put in
condition for winter travel the ser
vice will be extended from Athens
to Washington. D. C. This will put
our city on the map right and add to
the business of our hotels.

THE HARTWELL SUN, HARTWELL, GA., SEPTEMBER 26, 1924
week, September Osage payments
from the Government from oil boun
ties will begin with $3,200 to be paid
each of the 2,229 members of the
Osage tribe holding a head right,
i The September payment is the third
quarterly payment this year, the
total per capita payments so far be
ing $8,900.00. The payment start
ing Wednesday will total $7,132,300.
However, Oglahoma is not entire
ly a state of rich people. Just like
it is, at home there are the poor
ones mixed in—, “even as you and
I.” A great many have to get out
and hustle for a living. There are
just as many beggars out here as
anywhere and there are the same
sort of charities to support and to
nourish as is the case in Georgia. The
friendliness, the democracy, the hos
piatlity of all classes in Oklahoma
is the finest asset I know of, for the
state. No stranger escapes it. It
is an accepted fact.
Here at Norman, I have been com
ing for many years. At first for
only one trip a year and then in the
last few years, several trips each
year. Everyone vies with each oth
er in trying to be just a little nicer
to a visitor than the other, that hojds
true throughout the whole city hie.
The college gives you a welcome,
the students all speak, the Fraterni
ties and Sororities offer their hos
pitality in sincere tones, the towns
people remember you and accept
you and thus it goes all the way
round. And the little hotel here
keeps just the same pace.
For years and years I have stop
ped here with the Langfords who
own the hotel. They welcomed me
at the very first. They make me
feel at home. They did those little
extra things for my comfort that
made me feel very close to them and
to them all I was, and still am, just
plain “Enoch” (as I want to be to
everybody). And then at nights, af
ter a hard day’s work when I come
in, tired and weary and sometimes
discouraged, we would all sit by the
fire and talk and there would be
something nice to eat before I went
to bed. And that feeling and that
hospitality still holds true. Even
now, as always been the case, I feel
perfectly free to go into the dining
room, explore the refrigerator, and
help myself to anything to eat that
I may find. And now that they have
learned from several years’ observa
tion my “pet” food at night, I find
each night at close reach a plentiful
supply with all the trimmings—,
crackers and butter!
After all, when all is said and
done, what we remember through life
is those little kind things that are
said to us and done for us. We
quickly forget the services bought
through the agency of money. We
are amused at the flatterer. We pass
through the years hating the patron
izing person and the one who gives
to us because of obligation or sel
fish reasons. But those who give
from the kindness of their heart, who
perform from unselfish reasons, who
help us along the rough spots of
life purely gecause they like us and
through sincere motives—, they are
the ones who make life worth while
and the world a good place to live
in. Is it not true?

An English Classic.
Printers as a rule admire a well
written paragraph. Their associa
tion with the best thought of the
world gives them an appretiation of
precise English. They look upon
words with much the same regard
as an artist does upon his colors or
as a worker in mosaic does upon his
little blocks of many-hued stones,
which, of themselves, express but
little; but when placed in the hands
of a master, who knows the value
and relation of the delicate shades,
tints, and full essence of colors, they
lend themselves to form some rare
work of art, which awakens an urge
of admiration in the most unobserv
ing sufficient to give pause. Yes:
printers do delight in a well-written
paragraph. That’s why we quote
here a rare classic in English, on a
frog, written by a Norwegian lad
in the graded schools of Chicago.
Read it twice, for the first time it
may appear only funny, but it’s far
more than that:
“What a wonderful bird the frog
are! When he stand he sit, almost.
When he hop he fly, almost. He
ain’t got no sense hardly. He ain’t
got no tail hardly, either. When
he sit he sit on what he ain’t got,
almost.”

From Our Readers
Hartwell, Ga., Sept. 20, 1924.
Dear Mr. Editors:—To learn to
appreciate home it is frequently nec
essary for one to leave home. This
was my experience during the sum
mer just passed.
In visiting many towns in Georgia,
Tennessee and Kentucky, I was made
to feel the many advantages offered
by Hartwell over towns three times
her size. In no town two thousand
to ten thousand population did I find
Hartwell equalled in hotel facilities
and in none of them did I find busi
ness houses the equal of those in
Hartwell. They were also lacking
in many enterprises which make for
comfort and convenience. The one
striking feature of them all was the
lack of a first class bakery. In every
restaurant or hotel in which I took
a meal outside of cities, inquiry
elicited the fact that all of their
bread was ordered from city baker
ies. A struggle on numerous occa
sions with stale bread, frequently of
inferior quality, made me appreciate
more than ever the* wonderful ad
vantages possessed by Hartwell in
having a real first class bakery where
the best of service is afforded at all
times. It speaks well for the busi
ness judgment of a citizenship jthat
stands loyally by home enterprises
and makes such a thing possible.
Truly Hartwell is a great city.
J. I. ALLMAN.

The oldest shoe factory in the
country has gone out of busiiess.
Since 1762 the shop founded by
James Benedict has continued under
ownership of his descendants to pro
duce the celebrated New Canaan
hand made shoe, which for a century
enjoyed the largest sale of any fac
tory footwear. It is said that the
competition of machinery, which the
House of Benedict refused to install,
is responsible for the factory being
closed.
