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. o 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 cer Glee Club, which will draw a large house. Mr H. S. Garland, of Atlanta, was a visitor, the guest of Kiwanian Jud son B. Shaw. REV. HUTCHINS VISITS HERE Rev. J. K. Hutchins, of Monticello, Fla., was visiting in the home of Rev. and Mrs. Thos. J.

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.

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. _ Dr. J. T. Cook Dies Dr. J. T.

I I Q 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. ♦ »**•* *»»*♦* * Gull Drop* Clam on Hi* Head, * * Shore Man Drops on Boardwalk * * * * Atlantic City, N.

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. o —— A man never cares about meeting his wife’s relations —unless they are rich and distinguished. 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. Moving Pictures And Box Supper At Nuberg Friday There will be a box supper and two-reel comedy shown at Nuberg school house on Friday night, Novem ber 21, at 7:30 o’clock. Everybody invited. Admission ten and fifteen cents. Proceeds for benefit of school. o - BIRTHDAY DINNER FOR MR. D. M. DENNEY. A pleasant event of Tuesday, No vember the llth, was the dinner given by Miss Orrie Denney, at her home, in Vanna, honoring the sixty seventh birthday anniversary of her father, Mr. D. M. Denney. Vases of white rose buds were used as decorations in the dining room. The table was overlaid with a lace cover, and the beautiful white em bossed cake graced the center. A five course dinner was served and covers laid for Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Looney, and children Laura Mae and Wilton, Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Seymour, Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Denney and little daughter Hazel, Mrs. M. F. Morrison, of Bowman, Mrs. N. J. Pierce, of Elberton, Mrs. Edna Looney and Mr. Lonnie Denny. - 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.

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. o One thing about a European settle- I ment that makes it fascinating is that one never knows when it’s settled.— Charleston Mail.

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 - -o —*—.

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. NO. 16
