To complete the “joke” they slowed down as they went by the farmhouse and called out to the proprietor: “We helped ourselves to your apples, old man. Thought we’d tell you.” “Oh, that’s all right,” the farmer called back, “I helped myself to your tools while you were in the orchard.” —Boston Transcript. Good Time* In Georgia. Judging from the whisperings around, we are going to have a big harvest of small grain in 1925, if sea sons will permit. Why not? M e have the soil and the men who are capable of making the soil produce by proper preparation and proper cultivation. With a reasonable sup ply of graiA, feedstuff and with the activities of the club boys and girls, for better hogs, finer chickens, larg er corn yields, more peas, potatoes and calves, we see no reason why daybreak for better times is not near at hand.

Cotton in the Hail Storm Section i* Making A Good Crop (Southern Cultivation) During the month of July we were going from Hartwell, to Royston, and passed through a section where a severe hailstorm had devastated the crops and the farmers were chopping out their second planting of cotton. We made mention of this section and the conditions. This hailstorm came about the 12th of June. The farmers were uncertain what to do, but they decided to try planting cotton again; while we were over at Royston, Ga., on October 16th, we learned that these farmers would gather a fair crop of cotton. One farmer had ginned a bale from this second plant ing just exactly 120 days from the day he began planting over. We pub lish this instance, because these hail storms visit some sections every year and often the farmers do not know what to do about planting over. If you have as much as 120 days in which to mature your cotton before the time of a killing frost, you are safe in planting the second time. LOOKS DIFFERENT NOW W. M. McCormick, Baltimore busi ness man, has just returned from a business trip to Europe and talks of conditions abroad as he found them. In looking through his interview one I is particularly struck with this para- I graph: “There is not the least doubt that I the greatest curse of England, Scot- I land and Ireland is the excessive use ol liquor. It is pitiful to see thou sands of men and women drinking together at bars, the women some times with babies in their arms. After the saloons close at 10 o’clock, these people in a more or less intoxicated condition go to their squalid homes, made so by their lack of thrift and the spending of their earnings in this habit. A strong feeling is growing among the people of Great Britain that something must be done to stop this habit or the Island will pay the penalty.” All this is naively written just as if one had gone somewhere and seen something that he never suspected existed on this planet before. Yet conditions paralleling those described in England existed for decades in the United States and particularly in the large cities. It was, indeed, accept ed by most of us as a matter of course that people should spend their time and their hard-earned wages in filling their bellies with poisons and shambling through life on the bare necessities of existence. Since we have put an end to such customs there is no sensible person who does not recognize that liquor has been one of the worst moral and economic curses ever suffered by this nation. It only takes a visit to England and other European countries to look at ourselves in the mirror of history, as it were, and to realize what a great slough we lifted ourselves out of in adopting prohibition. And yet there are still some few individuals who are suffering from the hallucination that we are soon to have a return to such conditions. — Greenville News. LOWDEN WILL SPEAK IN ATLANTA ON NOV.I7TH Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 12.—Arrange ments have just been completed for Honorable Frank O. Lowden, ex- Governor of Illinois, and one of the leading spirits in the co-operative movement for marketing farm pro ducts is this country, to speak in Atlanta on “Co-operative Marketing for Farm Products and the Progress the Movement Is Making in This Country,” on Monday, November 17. Possibly no man has taken a great er interest in co-operative marketing during the past eighteen months than the former Governor of Illinois, who, on different occasions, was offered the Ambassadorship to Great Britain by President Harding, and the vice presidential nomination by the Re publican party. Although tendered both of these honors, he refused them mainly for the reason that he has been actively engaged in getting the wheat and cotton producers organized into co-operative marketing associa tions for selling their products. JJnder his leadership as chairman of the National Advisory Committee for marketing wheat, a number of the Midwestern States have already formed co-operative associations for marketing wheat. He is a member of the Arkansas Cotton Growers Co operative Association and market® his crop annually, which consists of several hundred bales of cotton, through that association. Governor Lowden is one of the most forceful and eloquent speakers in this country, and because of his pro-found belief in co-operative mar keting, the members of this associa tion and others who will have op portunity of hearing him will hear one of the most able addresses ever delivered on this subject in this State when he speaks in Atlanta on Novem ber 17th. Religion Our government rests upon reli gion. It is from that Source that we derive our reverence for truth and justice, for quality and liberty, and for the rights of mankind. The gov ernment of a country -never gets ahead of the religion of a country. There is no way by which we can sub stitute the authority of Taw for the virtue of man. We can not depend on government to do the work of religion. We can not escape a per sonal reponsibility for our conduct. We can not regard those as wise or safe counsellors in public affairs who deny these principles and seek to support the theory that society can succeed when the individual fails.”— Calvin Coolidge. ——o A movement has been started at Kentville, Nova Scotia, to erect a ■ monument in honor of Longfellow, whose poem, “Evangeline,” has that region for a setting. —o Judge Alfred J.

THE HARTWELL SUN, HARTWELL, GA., NOVEMBER 14, 1924 “FOR WHAT IT’S WORTH” This is election day, as I write this in far off Oklahoma. Election day with its final decision to the various candidates and respective parties. After weeks of campaigning, speech making, charges and counter-charges, the -moke of battie will be lifted and success or failure of each candidate at last be finally decided. Many candidates will at last found out for themselves the sad and discouraging truth, that many a voter does not cast his ballot like he cheers. I have often thought how nicely this thought was expressed after a county election in Hart county several years ago, by a defeated candidate. This man had been “cheered” on and encouraged !by these false friends and at the l closing of the polls, when he saw de feat was enevitable—, miserable de feat—, he was accosted by some hanger-ons at the drug store, “Come on, Tom, and buy your friends a drink.” “Friends, did you say—, I don’t know who they aire!” Regard less of how the national election comes out, I deeply, and earnestly hope that today, in the states of Okla homa and Texas, two candidates for high offices in these respective states will be completely and ignominiously defeated. Their election would be a disgrace to civilization; their de feat would be a vindication of justice and decency to every law abiding citizen. I refer, in Oklahoma case, to Jack Walton, former impeached Governor of Oklahoma whose record is as black as any imprisoned convict and who is at present running for a Senator’s place in Oklahoma. I re fer, in Texas case, to Mrs. Ferguson, whose only claims to Governor place is, that she makes “good pies and cakes” and that her husband, Jim Ferguson was impeached and thrown out of office as Governor of Texas, for embezzlement and the blackest of corrupters. These two races I am deeply interested in. It is my sincere wish, along with all other self respectirrg people, that these two candidates go down in humiliating defeat.

' ■ In a western town there is a sign reading as follows: 4076 people died last year of gas. 39 inhaled it. 37 put a ' gh‘.-J match to it. 4000 steppe ’ on it.

Far away as i Christmas may seem, that is the goal ' that the fall months lead on to, as their destination. That is the grand climax, that is the culmination of each glorious year. And through my territory as I have traveled it in lei surely fashion, the spirit of the sea son has manifested itself in and in creased volume of business, with the purchasers happy in gifts for those at home —, gifts for father and, mother, “little sister” and the “real girl” who waits somewhere the com ing of vacation and her lover. There are always two sides to every question, of course. There are those that would argue, for instance, that this expensive habit of Christ- ' mas spending in the matter of gifts is foolish and wantonly wrong. And there are those that contend, on the other hand, that the pleasure of giv ing is worth all the expense and the trouble attached to it; not unneces- | sary expenditures nor useless giving but a happy meduim —, gifts to our immediate family and those close to us. And yet there are those who would ban all gifts; who would drain Christmas of every joy; who would lift the romance and sweetness out of life itself. I think the most beauti ful picture ever painted is the happi ness of a child on Christmas morning. Norman, OkJa., the seat of the University of Oklahoma will be the setting of many gay parties and much celebrating this week. It is home coming time for the University of Oklahoma. The old grads will swarm back in great numbers and there will be much mingling and mixing of the old alumni and the present student body. It will be a happy time. Most home-coming are, and, yet when these old-timers come back they will revel in old surroundings once more and enjoy the memories of old days but there will be something lacking and something missing. It will be the old faces who passed on and who have scattered to parts unknown and it will be the obliteration by the cruel hand of Time of the old land-marks and time honored customs. The old timer, the real old-timer, never gets used to the younger generation with its modern ways and the old grad is always a little awed by the present day magnificance of college life as compared to his days of simpler living.

Reserve Bank of Atlanta, before the Georgia Agricultural Society at Savannah recently: Just a few words now about co operative marketing. Within the past few years, the farmers have felt the necessity of organizing them selves into mutual associations for the purpose of effecting a more or derly and business-like disposal of their products. This movement has gathered strength, and now all of the cotton states have their separate organizations which are taking an increasingly larger part in the'proper handling of our commodities. The banking interests in the cities are giving them ample support, and we of the Federal Reserve are render ing them all of the assistance at our command, and will continue to give them our wholehearted co-operation at all times. There are, of course, certain serious difficulties to be overcome. As matters stand now, a multitude of individual producers I are still competing disastrously with each other, thus destroying opportun ities for a fair and just profit to those who have risked their capital and labor on the fitful and uncertain element of the weather, upon which the prosperity of agriculture must necessarily depend to a very large extent. For the success of the co operative associations, other things than a full membership are necessary. The best available talent for the work in hand must be obtained, and to this end adequate salaries must be paid. Otherwise, the organizations will fall into the hands'of mediocre ability, where the entire movement would lanquish and eventually die. While the principle of co-operative market ing is sound, there are two factors which might cause its failure. These are: (1) A lack of sufficient mem bership to make its work effective, and (2) Mismanagement. On the whole, however, I believe that the creation of these Associations is the most practical step forward ever taken by the farmers, and, since their success means so much to the basic welfare of our industry, all the banks, both in the city and in the country, should put aside any sel fish or petty objections, and give the movement their whole-hearted and sympathetic support. By so doing, they not only better the lot of the farmers, but contribute directly to the prosperity of their communities, and, indirectly, they are working for their own success. To use a Biblical phrase, bread which they cast upon the waters now will be returned to them a thousand fold in the not dis tant future. MISS JANE DUNCAN Miss Jane Duncan, 80 years of age, died at the home of her brother, Mr. G. W. Duncan, in Bethany community Wednesday, November 5, 1924, and iwas buried on the 7th in the ceme tery at Bethany Baptist church, fol lowing appropriate service conducted 'by Rev. A. W. Bussey, of Bowman. The deceased was born in South ! Carolina, but had made her home for 'some time with her brother near Hartwell. She was well known to many people in the county who will regret to learn of her passing. i Miss Duncan was a member of the Baptist church, her membership being at Belton, S. C. She was ill only two days, paralysis being the cause of her death. Surviving are two brothers, Mr. G. W. Duncan, of Hart county, and Mr. Newton Duncan, of Anderson county, S. C., and one sister, Miss Nancy Duncan, of South Carolina. Funeral arrangements were under the direction of Mr. W. C. Page, of Hartwell. o COMMUNITY PRODUCTION SOLVES SEED PROBLEM An adequate supply of pure plant ing seed of standard cotton varieties is the fundamental ' requirement of the cotton industry, to replace the mixed “gin run” stocks now gener ally grown, says the Georgia State College of Agriculture. A general investigation of the breeding and utilization of superior varieties of cotton has shown that pure seed can be produced only in communities that limit themselves to one variety. Remarkable results have been se cured on the community plan of one variety production at Winterville in Clarke county and Reed Creek in Hart county during the past two years, and in 1924 twelve communi ties were organized on this basis. Five hundred acres of College No.l cotton was grown in the Reed Creek community this year and all of the seed sold for planting purpose. In every community following the one variety plan, a pure seed association has been organized which handles all of the sales and purchases of seed on a co-operative basis. Under the community production system the mixing of seed and the consequent running out of varieties are avoided, production is based on pure seed, superior qualities are utilized, better cultural methods are adopted, greater efficiency in pro duction is secured, and commercial advantages are obtained from the marketing of a uniform product. Information on the one-variety community method of cotton pro duction, including the selection of a variety, the maintenance of seed stocks and the organization of new centers of seed supply may be ob tained by writing the State College of Agriculture at Athens, or the United States Department of Agri culture, Washington. o - Man attracts attention only at his birth, at his wedding and at his funeral.

Pine Tar and Honey Still Best for Chest Colds and Coughs Our mothers and grandmothers Would never be without pine tar syrup in. the house for coughs, chest colds, etc. This was many years ago, but modern medicine has never been able to improve on this time-tested remedy. Doctors say the pine tar is hard to beat for quickly loosening and removing the phlegm and congestion that are the actual cause of the cough. At the same time pine tar and honey soon soothe and heal all irritation and soreness. The kind that has been used witV never-failing- success in thousands of families for years is that known as Dr. Bell’s Pine-Tar Honey. This is scien- j tifically compounded of just the right 1 proportions of pine tar, honey and other quick-acting, healing ingredients which the best doctors have found to aid in quick relief It contains absolutely no opiates, narcotics or harmful drugs, so can be given to young children —fine for spasmodic croup.
