I wL BIBLE THOUGHT I
—ForThisWeck«— .y
Ih] Bible Thoughts memorized, will prove aig
pricelees heritage in after years.
HOW TO GET ON:—Ask, and it
shall be given you; seek, and ye shall
find. —Matthew 7:7.
—— ——o
“Busy people and idle talk,” says
Joe Jones, “are strangers.”
It is not every person whom union
suits, —hence divorce suits.
- o— — ■ ■ ——
It’s not sufficient to be on the
right track; you have to be headed
the right way.
—o —•
Some autos, like many employees,
need a lots of jacking up, so to
speak.
Good looks may hold the hubby a
while, but good cooking will hold him
a whole lots longer.
. —o
The old-time girl who married to
get a home now has a daughter who
marries to get a car.
_.„ — o
More interest in the fruits of your
own labors and less in what’s on the
family tree will get you a little
farther along.
“The average father who thinks
it hard to keep his son in check when
he’s young will usually find it hard
to keep him in checks later on,” says
old Joe Jones.
Some learned professor comes out
with an article on the power in a
woman’s tears. Old Joe Jones read
it and said “You can’t tell any old
married man anything new about
that.”
Recently a young man shot and
killed his friend. Liquor caused it.
A few days ago near here, a young
man stepped in front of a freight
train. One leg was cut off, the foot
of his other limb and one ar|n were
cut off; he died a day later. He
■was drunk. Several days ago an of
ficial in one of the South’s largest
corporations lost his job. He drank
and was drunk when his company
held their annual meeting. We know
men who have spent thousands of
dollars and now live in rented houses.
They drank up their wealth. Liquor
is a mightly fine thing—to let alone.

After The Wrong Fellow
Can it be true that during all these
years we have been alter the wrong
fellow in our efforts to stop the
wiskey traffic? We have been doing
our best to make it hard 'for the
whiskey seller and maker and have
been giving very little attention to
the whiskey drinker. And now comes
Judge Samuel H. Sibley, one of the
finest characters on the bench and
says that the whiskey drinker is the
real nuisance and not the whiskey
seller. Maybe Judge Sibley is right.
At least his words are worth think
ing over.
In opening the October term of the
United States district court recently,
in his charge to the jury, he said:
“The man who drinks is the real
nuisance, not the man who sells or
makes whiskey. For so long as we
have people who will buy wh.skey
some one is going to take a chance
at making and selling it.”—Winder
News.

A Very Dirty Dozen
Going the round of the news
papers is a list of a very dirty dozen,
which has been segregated by a
writer in the Vancouver Province.
They are not elegant, says the writer,
and they are not aristocratic, for
they are seldom found in good com
pany. They leave wreck and ruin
in their train —the ruin of character
and the wreckage of homes.
The dirty dozen ought to be kept
under strict guard and never per
mitted to appear in business, social
or religious life.
For the information of those who
are not familiar with them, we re
print the list herewith:
“I heard—”
“They say—”
“Everybody says—”
“Have you heard—”
“Isn’t it just awe-ful—”
“People say—”
“Did you ever—”
“Somebody said—”
“Would you think—”
“Don’t say I told you—”
“Oh, I think it’s perfectly terrible!”
—Rome News-Tribune.
“FOR WHAT IT’S WORTH”
A hotel may make, or mar a town.
For after all, a traveler’s impression
of any city is gathered for the most
part from the city’s best hotel and
if it is worthy and does honor to its
community, then it is an asset as
valuable as any home industry or
business enterprise. But, on the
other hand, if the hotel be a out-of
date affair, uncomfortably lacking in
conveniences, careless of its hospi
tality and attentions, it immediately
becomes a liability to any city and it
advertises itself and its home town in
the most unfavorable light all over
the country.
The latter case was the situation
in Austin, Texas for many years; in
deed, until this spring. The old
Driskill Hotel, with its ante-bellum
ideas and antiquated ways was the
only decent hotel here. Yet its rooms
were cheerless sort of affairs utterly
lacking in comfort or attractiveness.
The chairs were hard, but the beds,
harder. They were chilling har
bingers of restless nights of fitful
sleep and little rest. The manage
ment itself, the hotel people were
a cold, independent crew of people.
They did nothing for one’s comfort
and cared less. And thus I went for
years and Austin was hurt and ad
vertised to the world as a poor place
to visit and people avoided it as much
as possible. And mind you, Austin
is a city of 40,000. Thankfully, all
things, good or bad, finally work to
wards a climax, and so, after many
years agitation a new hotel, modern
throughout and befitting the city
of Austin, was erected. This April
it was opened to the public and in
stantly gained a deserved popular
favor. Austin, in turn has been won
defully benefited. No longer are
they unfavorably impressed with the
city’s hospitably. Instead, a visit here
is delightfully *pleasant now, and one
sees this old, southern town' through
new eyes —, the eyes of appreciative
respect for its progressiveness, its
hospitality and its comfortable living
provisions.
And so, instead of three or four
days stay here as I had planned, I
have lingered <>n for a week. A week
of solid comfort, so to speak. A week
that has rested me and put me in a
frame of mind to work for the love
of it. A week that has flitted by
quickly and pleasantly. My congratu
lations to a good hotel.
On Saturday, the highly touted
University of Florida foot ball team
blew in town from Gainesville, Fla.,
and the team buzzed with excitement.
They were a husky looking bunch
of fellows, clean-cut and finely
moulded. They made a fine impres
sion here and I felt immeasurably
proud of them, myself, because they
came from my part of the country.
To insure the members of this aggre
gation against losing time in school
and from getting behind in their
class-work, a law professor accom
panied the team here, and each day
while away from home held daily
classes. There’s an idea for you! On
Saturday afternoon, the great game
itself, came off. In spite of all the
advance dope and the heavy odds
against Texas University, the best
“Florida” could do was to lie them
The Red Cross deserves your sup
port; enroll next week.

Liquor is taking too great a toll
in Hart county; when innocent peo
ple must suffer for the sake of some
low-down moonshiner and his co
laborer, the equally disreputable
bootlegger, for the sake of a few
dollars, it should be time to stop. The
man who makes it and the man who
sells it are responsible for the acts
of the unfortunate who buys it.
Saturday, while out trying to
raise our pay-roll for the week, and
also to meet some three or four
million bills that were due the same
day, the Ist, we had two surprises
of our life. One fellow who we had
decided to not ask for a penny called
us across the street and wrote out a
check for $lO, and another fellow
we went to see just sat down and
wrote out a check for twice what we
asked. If we have anything to do
with the arrangements of seats in the
home above we’re going to put these
two fellows and ail the other prompt
paying customers of The Sun right
up on the front row. We appreciate
courteous promptness.
Protect Birds of Paradise
The lure of the gorgeous plumage
of the birds of paradise leads many
hunters to the almost inaccessible
parts of New Guinea. In spite of the
risk and danger, so many are in the
business that this wonderful, feath
ered beauty is in danger of extinction'.
As a result the Dutch government of
New Guinea is considering a law to
protect them. The birds are found
amid high mountains and wafete, foul
smelling swamps and jungle, and hun
dreds of gunners, brave these perils
every year. Sometimes a party is
i compelled to live for months amid
perils of poisonous everglades sur
rounded by deadly reptiles, hostile
savages and prowling animals. The
most sought-for-virriety of the plumes
are those of the blue bird of paradise.
As much as SSOO has been paid for a
single specimen, while red, brown and
yellow ones command prices from $25

THE HARTWELL SUN, HARTWELL, GA„ NOVEMBER 7, 1924
By E.8.8.Jr.
with a 7 to 7 score. But it was a
brilliant game throughout, the best
I have seen this fall.
Foot ball, may, or, may not appeal
to one’s fancy but there is no mis
taking the powerful factor it is be
coming in a college’s advancement
these days. Many a remote college
with a name almost unknown has
been led out of an obscure setting to
a formed standing through its foot
ball achievements. A college is given
wide advertisement by the same
source. But here in the West, I
have been asked time after time
about “Ga-Tech” and “Georgia” and
other Southern colleges whose radi
ance has been caught from their
great teams. And many students
have been attracted from all parts
of the country. To all of which,
some may ask, “Well, what differ
ence does it make?” The answer is,
none, except a greater prestige is
given a college, a more cosmopolitan
student body enrolled, a more far
reaching standing attached to one’s
diploma, a greater love and pride in
stilled in one’s heart for his Alma
Mater. And, the game surely must
be steadily giving universal favor.
On Saturday, at the game here,
amongst the colorful gathering pres
ent, with the youngsters in the throes
of wild excitement and enthusiasm,
there sat on all sides in great num
bers, old ladies and gentlemen of the
sixties, seemingly very much inter
ested.
Austin, like most Southern towns,
believes in a strict Sabbath. It’s a
church going town and each Sunday
the crurches here are crowded to
their capacities. Dallas, and the larger
cities, of course, are exceptions to
this rule. That is, shows run just
the same on Sundays as week days
but the little towns make a difference
of the day. Perhaps, the most ori
ginal of all ideas that has sprung
Jorth from this strict observance of
Sunday laws, has succeeded here.
Promptly on the stroke of
with the Sunday behind, a midnight
matinee commences here at one of
the leading show-houses. There, one,
if he cares not for late hours may see
a complete picture show with added
attractions at this unheard of time
of night. And the peculiar part of it
has been the success of the thing.
Each midnight show plays to full
houses.
Sundays “on the road,” are the
traveling man’s night-mare. After
a week’s scurrying around, revolving
from town to town, seems tf>e natural
thing. Work to be done each day,
and planning and scheming all at a
high pitched state. Little time for
quietude or a lull in activities. Then
comes Sunday! The whole world
seems to stop. Quietness now—, too
much quietness. Peace. Calm. Loneli
ness, perhaps. A morning of late
sleep. Then up and deliberate dress
ing. Breakfast. The Sunday papers.
Writing many letters. The afternoon
comes. A long nap. Then, if one is
fortunate a “date” perhaps at night
or mixing with friends. Otherwise,
sitting around, a hotel, home, — a
million miles away, and wishing the
day was over. But, its a great life
if you'don’t weaken —, you bet!

Willie Knew
“Willie,” asked the teacher of the
new pupil,“do you know your al
phabet?” J
“Yes’m,” answered Willie.
“Well, then,” continued the teacher
“What letter comes after A?”
“All the rest of them,” was the
triumphant reply.—Selected.
What He Wanted
“I want a shave,” said the man as
he dropped into the barber’s chair.
“I don’t want a haircut nor a sham
poo. Neither do I want any bay rum,
hair tonic, hot towels, or face mas
sage. I just want a plain shave with
no trimmings. Do you understand
that?”
“Yes, sir,” said the barber. “Will
you have some lather on your face,
sir?” —Exchange.
How Long Was That River
During the war a New Orleans
Negro went to France on one of the
slow troopships and was very sea
sick all the way over. As thqy came
in sight of their port a companion
roused him excitedly. “Ratus! Rastus!
We kin see the other shore.”
“My Lawd!” said the Louisiana
Negro in awe. “Es hit’s dis fuh from
shore to shore of dis Atlantic River,
how far is she up and down?”
Knew The Animal
A teacher was instructing a class
in English, and called on a small boy
named Jimmy Brown.
“James,” she said, “Write on the
board, ‘Richard can ride the mule if
he wants to.’ ”
“Now,” continued the teacher when
Jimmy had finished writing, “can
you find a better form for that
sentence?”
“Yes, ma’am, I think I can,” was
the prompt answer. “Richard can ride
the mule if the mule wants him to.”

Holes Upside Down
Two men w«e waiting for a train
and one said: “I will ask you a
question, and if I can not answer my
own question I will buy the tickets.
Then you ask a question, and if you
can not answer your own, you buy
the tickets.” The other agreed to do
this. “Well,” the first man said, “you
see those rabbit holes? How do they
dig those holes without leaving any
dirt around them?” The ohtre an
swered: “I don’t know. That’s your
question, so answer it yourself.” The
first man winked and replied: “They
begin at the bottom and dig up!”
“But,” said the second man, “how do
they get at the bottom to begin?”
“That’s your question,” was the first
man’s rejoinder. “Answer it your
self.” The other man bought the
tickets.—Boston Post.
