JACKSON STILL
AT LARGE
Three thousand additional cards
offering a reward of $1,100.00 for
the capture of Lincoln Jackson,
negro slayer of Hart county Officer
L. S. Skelton, have been mailed to
every county seat in the United
States by the authorities here.
A number of men resembling Jack
son have been held in various places
until they could be investigated. Two
or three have been brought here, but
all were turned loose following a
questioning.
Jackson has relatives in North Car
olina and in Pittsburgh, also, it is
said.
Officers everywhere are on the
lookout for the murderer and it will
not be long before he is apprehended,
many think.
The sum of $750 is offered by the
State, $250 by Hart county and the
balance by two local organizations.
Indict Accomplices
The Franklin county Grand Jury
returned three true bills Monday
against Wid McCann and his son,
Keiffer McCann, of Franklin county,
for aiding Jackson in his escape; the
Stephens county Grand JuJry has
indicted Will Hickman, of Toccoa,
for aiding the murderer in his escape.
All are colored. They are being
tried this week.

KIWANIANS ARE HELPING
BOOST EDUCATION WEEK
A number of interesting talks on
American Education Week, its signi
ficance and its worth to Hart county
made up the greater part of last Fri
day’s Kiwanis program.
Among those talking were County
School Supt. W. B. Morris, County
Agent H. W. Bingham, City School
Supt. J. I. Allman and others.
Hart county is observing the week
now and greater interest in schools
and school affairs will likely result.
A large number of the members
are assisting in the programs at the
various schools.
Kiwanian T. S. Mason called at
tention to the appearance in Hart
well this Thursday night of the Mer

$25 BONUS CHECK FOR
ALL VETS CHRISTMAS
SAYS HON. NAT HARRIS
Each of the 12,500 Confederate
pensioners in Georgia will be paid a
special Christmas pension bonus of
$25, it was announced Friday by
former Governor Nat E. Harris,
newly inaugurated pension commis
sioner.
The state revenue department, in
Atlanta, under the direction of Com
j misstoner John M. Vandiver, has been
l waging a vigorous campaign for more
i than a month for collection of the
state tobacco tax, so as to make it
i possible for the veterans to receive
the pension bonus.
The pension commissioner ex
pressed certainty that total collec
tions for the year would exceed the
$562,500 minimum necessary to cover
the payment of $250,000 already
made to the Alto sanitarium and the
$312,000 necessary to make the $25
bonus pension payment.
The difference in the amount ac
tually on hand and the amount as
sured for the full year may be cov
ered by a special loan, the commis
sioner said.
PLEASANT HILL CHURCH
There will be preaching at Pleasant
Hill Presbyterian church next Sun

pastor, Rev. James Bradley.

HIGHWAY COMMISSION TO WORK
ROADS ON COUNTY UNIT PLAN
New Plan Effective January Ist
Will Help State System Roads
Very Much, It Is Expected
The most important announcement,
perhaps, the State highway officials
have ever made is that effective Jan
uary Ist, 1925, the highway upkeep
: will be established on the county unit
! plan.
Under the new system each county
i in Georgia, except six or seven small
i er ones, which will be consolidated
under three patrolmen, will have its
own state highway patrol gang which
can work in closer cooperation with
county and. local highway forces.
Heretofore, each of the highway pa
trolmen, operating each with a repair
gang and equipment, has been as
signed to a definite stretch of high
way averaging 35 miles in length, re*
i gardless of county lines.
The new plans were decided on at
| the November meeting of the state
. highway commission, Chairman Hol
i der said.
An even more advanced step by the
commission, is the determination to
establish a series of “highway main-
I tenance schools”— one to each of
{ the nine highway districts in the
state. In these schools patrolmen
and assistants are to be taught how
to maintain highways by those who
know how, including instructions in
the use of modern machinery and
proven methods of road work.
Os course maintenance conditions
are different in different districts.
Therefore it is assumed that the in
struction in each district will take
into account specific soil conditions,
drainage elevations, etc.
It is encouraging that the com
mission is determined to strengthen
its service to the state in 1925.
With its resources the state com
mission is doing fine. It deserves
the support and the cooperation of
every citizen.
Box Party At New Prospect
There will be a box party at New
Prospect school Friday night. No
vember 28 at 7 o’clock. The ladies
are invited to come and bring boxes.
The proceeds will go for the benefit
of the school visitors are cordially
invited. _

THE SUN FORCE GIVEN A
RARE TREAT BY MR. AND
MRS. G. C. LOCKE AT CAFE
The Sun force had a rare treat
last Saturday at noon when the en
tire aggregation was entertained at
dinner (not lunch) by Mr. and Mrs.
G. Locke, proprietors of the well
known Nancy Hart Case, — and truly
we can say it has been many moons
since this crowd has enjoyed such a
repast, both in quality and quantity.
It was, as noted above, a regular
dinner, not one of these “little-bit-of
this and little-bit-of-that” lunch meals
that you often have to try to make a
meal on when you’re really wanting
something to eat.
The food was well prepared and
well served, from soup to ice cream.
Mr. and Mrs. Locke have a splendid
restaurant, well equipped, and give
service that is unexcelled.
Mr. and Mrs. Locke took no chances
and it was well they did not, for we
didn’t like much of overeating. They
had Dr. W. E. McCurry to join The
Sun force at the special table pre
pared for the meal.
The Sun force truly wishes to ex
tend this couple our heartiest thanks
for their kindness on last Saturday.

Q
From Our Readers
A flock of wild geese, flying swift
ly southward in characteristic V
shaped formation, passed directly
over Hartwell recently. This inci
dent, though not uncommon, serves
only to accentuate Hartwell’s strate
gic position along the present direct
travel routes between the North and
South. With practically the entire
automobile tourist traffic passing this
way, it would appear only natural
that the air travel of the future will
doubtless come this way especially
was originally surveyed to pass
when it is recalled that the giant navy j
airship Shenandoah flew directly over
Hartwell in its recent southward trip.
The directness of this route be
tween northern and southern points
was recognized even before the War
between the States. The main line of
what is now the Southern Railway
through Hartwell, as being the “Air
line Route” to northern points but
as older residents recall, the War held
up construction, and the builders,
after the close of the War, were fin
ally induced to take the more diffi
cult and circuitons route through the
foothills of the North Georgia Moun
tains byway of Gainesville, Cornelia
and Toccoa.
Os more recent memory was the
proposed Atlanta, Hartwell, Ander
son Electric Railway which was sur
veyed in 1916. This country’s entry
into the World War put a stop to
possible construction, which seemed
almost certain at that time. It is
understood however that the Duke
interests are behind this project and
are ready to start construction when
conditions become favorable.

Important Election In County First
Friday In December Many
Candidates Will Offer
Two Constables and one Justice of
the Peace for each of the eight Mili
tia Districts of Hart county will he
elected in an election to be held on
Saturday, December 6th, and al
ready there is a great deal of inter
est being manifested in this event
that occurs every two years.
The election is under the jurisdic
tion of County Ordinary, Judge Jerry
W. Scott.
Indications point to opposition in
many of the Districts where the peo
ple have decided changes will be best.
The offices of Constable and Jus
tice of the Peace are no longer minor
places and demand men of ability,
strong character and a type of the
best citizenship.
Hart county should pay a great
deal of attention to the election Sat
urday 6th.

City Ordinance
The shooting of fireworks during
the Christmas holidays will be pro
hibited except that children will be
allowed to shoot what is commonly
called fire-crackers and sparklers
outside of the fire limits (two blocks
away from the public square).
It will he against the law to shoot
cannon crackers of any size, Roman
candles, or heavy explosives, or to
possess, sell or give away same any
where in the city. Violators of this
order will be severely punished and
parents who do not want their chil
dren put in prison or who do not want
to pay a heavy fine had better take
notice and take some interest in the
matter now.
The laws of the state and the city
forbid the shooting of pistols, guns
and dynamite and any one found
guilty of violating this law will be
given the limit by the Mayor and
bound over to the Superior Court for
trial.

“HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME”
AT THE STAR THURSDAY-FRIDAY
ELECTION ABOLISHES THE
OFFICE BUT NAMES MEN
TO FILL AT SAME TIME
A case of giving two men jobs and
of then taking the jobs away is re
vealed in the returns from White
county of the recent general election.
In this county the voters were
privileged to vote for a judge of the
city court as well as for a solicitor
of the city court. Then the question
of “for the city court” and “against
the city court” was placed before
the voters.
The official tabulation shows that
the candidates for these two offices
were elected, but that the question
of the city court was defeated. There
fore, although the candidates were
elected to their respective offices,
they found by the counting of the
votes that they had no office in
which to serve.
The official vote is shown as fol
lows: Judge of city court, W. W. 11.
Underwood, 429 votes; solicitor of
city court, Thomas F. Underwood,
437 votes.
For city court, 187 votes; against
city court, 437 votes.
At least two candidates have found
out that, although duly elected, they
cannot serve.

NATIONAL LEAGUE OF
WOMEN VOTERS WILL
ORGANIZE HERE SOON
Mrs. L. L. Hendren, of Athens,
president of the National League or
Women Voters in Georgia, and Mrs.
J. W. Wills, of Atlanta, member of
the organization committee for tho
State, of which Miss Eleanor Raoul,
of Atlanta, is chairman, were among
the prominent visitors to Hartwell
last Friday.
Mrs. Hendren and Mrs. Willis wero
here to confer with leading women
of the city relative to organizing a
branch of the League in this com
munity and met with a most hearty
response.
The Nation League of Women
Voters is not a party, and has for its
primary purpose the ideal of intelli
gent voting by the women of our
land.
It is composed of affiliated lea
gues, not more than one from each
State.
It is not a woman’s party. It is
not a club. It does not limit its mem
bership to certain groups. It is inclu
sive, not exclusive. It concerns it
self with women as voters and invites
to membership all women who want
to be useful citizens.
It is not allied with any political
party. It is not opposed to any poli
tical party. It is not partisan; it is
independent. It recommends that its
members enroll as voters and affiliate
themselves with the political parties
of their choice.
ft believes with Madison “that a
people who mean to be their own
governors must arm themselves witii
the power which knowledge gives”
and so makes the education of women
in citizenship its paramount consid
eration.
It has adopted certain social, civic
and political standards which it hopes
eventually to see transformed into
custom or written into law. It stands
for law enforcement but believes that
in a democracy good governaient can
be achieved only through good citi
zenship. It helps women to become
good citizens. i

Costly Film Coming To Hartwell
Several Who Have Seen It Say
Will Prove Biggest Feature
Ever Shown Here
Following lengthy negotiations be
tween Car) Laemtnle, president of
Universal Pictures Corporation and
Manager W. T. Yarbrough, of the
Star Theatre, contracts were signed
last week for the presentation here
of “The Hunchback of Notre Dame”
Thursday and Friday of this week.
Booking of this wonder picture is
one of the most important announce
ments local moving picture enthusi
asts have had in many weeks.
The fame of the Victor Hugo
classic in its celluloid form has been
so generally known that it is hardly
necessary to dwell upon its greatness.
During the first five month’s follow
ing its premier at the Astor Theatre
in New York City it was shown only
in the largest legitimate theatres of
the United States. It establishes a
record at the Astor by running for
more than six months to capacity
crowds.
Lon Chaney heads the notable cast
of 3091 players which includes such
brilliant artists as Patsy Ruth Miller,
Ernest Torrence, Brandon Hurst,
Tully Marshall, Nigel de Brulier and
Winifred Bryson. The majority of
the seventy-five principals are as well
known on the stage as they are on
the screen. The production in its
film form has been endorsed by the
clergy of all denominations.
Aside from the natural interest in
the screening of such a notable mas
terpiece, there is a general interest
to see the production which required
more than a year to film and on which
more than $1,500,000 was expended.
The great picture will be shown at
2:30 each afternoon and at 7:15
every night.
