5-year contract at the meeting Mon
day, there are 1,357 acres in Hart
county.
Os the 12 community or subsidi
ary organizations forming the Geor
gia Association seven of the original
ones are in Hart county.
It is expected that this new or
ganization will bring into Georgia
hundreds of thousands of dollars
annually now going elsewhere.
Seek Warehouses.
Officials will shortly seek ware
house space in various cities and
States, and the business of the new
Association will be put into motion
a- quickly as is consistent.
Headquarters in Hartwell.
While the main offices of tne Seed
Association will be in Hartwell, the
center of the pure seed industry in
Georgia, other offices will be opened
later, with salesmen in charge of the
grading and warehouses at various
points.

SHOP AND MAIL
EARLY, FOLKS
Shop early,— and mail early.
And speaking of mailing, there are
rules upon rules regarding the wrap
ping and packing, addressing and
mailing of Christmas packages
which must be observed in their en
tirety if the sender is to receive
the Service he desires.
Such is the ultimatum handed down
by Postmaster Jno. C. Massey as a
warning to the people of Hartwell
and the county that again it is time
to shop early and mail early.
Rules this year will be more strin
gent than they have ever been, ac
cording to Mr. Massey. And in addi
tion to these rules, the local post
office will be closed all day Christ
mas, making no collections and few
deliveries, if any at all. No one will
be at work at the postoffice after
11 o’clock on Christmas morning.
The specific rule regarding wrap
ping and packing reads: All parcels
must be securely wrapped or packed
in order to reach their destination
in good condition. In wrapping ordi
nary parcels strong paper and heavy
twine should be used.
Then there are special rules re
garding the wrapping and packing
of umbrellas, canes, golf sticks, hats,
shoes, cut flowers, candles, drawings,
paintings and uncounted maps,
sharp edge instruments or tools,
glassware, fragile toys, crockery, ci
gars and perishable matter.
Regarding perishable matter, Mr.
Massey said that anything going be
yond 300 miles from Hartwell will
not be accepted for mailing during
tne Christmas holidays. Special de
livery stamps should be used to ex
pedite delivery.
Christmas gifts and cards address
ed to points within only one day’s
travel should be mailed not later
than December 20; two day’s travel,
not later than Dec. 18; within three
days travel not later than Dec. 16 and
for distant points not later than De
cember 14. Parcels and cards for
local delivery stand not a chance of
reaching their destination before the
day after Christmas unless they are
mailed on or before December 22.
Christmas stamps or stickers can
not be placed on the address side of
mail *matter. Posters or stickers re
sembling postage stamps are not

ONLY 17 SHOPPING DAYS
UNTIL CHRISTMAS
Old Vets Will Get
Christmas Present
It’s an ill “puff” that does nobody
good,—and so one good thing that
the State tax on tobacco has done is
the accumulation of sufficient funds
to pay the Confederate Veterans a
portion of the money which will be
due next year.
That the old veterans of the state
will have their first division of the
cigar and cigarette tax money in
good time for Christmas is assured.
It will require a fund of $315,000
to make a distribution of $25 to each
of the pensioners, and it is under
stood that amount of unds will have
been accumulated and turned into
the treasury by or about December
10th. The pension department, it is
learned, already has its work in shape
to make the distribution so soon as
the December funds are announced
available by the revenue department.
Numerous inquiries have come
from all parts of the state, since the
payment of quarter of a million to
Alto, on whether or not there was
any doubt about a distribution being
made to the veterans in time for
Christmas. Call will be made before
the end of this month, to all the
banks in the state handling the funds
to remit their accumulations in time
to aggregate the $315,000 on the
10th of next month. It will take
probably a week thereafter to get
the distributions over the state, to
the several counties, which will mean
that, by the opening of the immediate
Christmas season, the veterans will
have this much additional Christ
mas money. These funds, of course,
are in addition to t’ne regular annual
pensions already distributed, under
the appropriation made by the legis
lature for pensions.
Ford Prices Drop
Price reductions that place the
Ford auto at the lowest figures in
their history were announced Tues
day by the Ford Motor Co., of De
troit, and received by wire by Mr.
R. E. Cox, manager of the Hart
Motor Co., local dealers. •
The largest reduction comes on
the Fordor sedan of $25; the Tudor
sedan is off $lO, and all the others
reduced $5, making the prices as
follows:
Chassis $225, runabout $260,
touring $290, truck $365, coupe
$520, tudor sedan SSBO, fordor $660.
Starter $65 and demountable rims
S2O extra when supplied on open
types.
The new prices are effective now.

MR. W. T. JOHNSON NAMED HEAD
MASONIC LODGE FOR YEAR 1925
The annual election of officers for
Hartwell Lodge No. 189, Free & Ac
cepted Masons, occurred at the Ma
sonic Hall last Tuesday night, and
resulted as follows:
Worshipful Master—W. T. John
son, Sr.
Senior Warden —I. J. Phillips, Jr.
Junior Warden —Chas. W. Hunt.
Senior Deacon—Wm. G. Brown.
Junior Deacon —C. L. Johnson.
Senior Steward—Willie M. Thorn
ton.
Junior Steward —Albert H. Brad
ley.

The retiring Worshipful Master,
Mr. Isham P. Vickery, has served for
the past several years in that capa
city, and under his leadership the
Lodge had shown a splendid gain in
membership and interest.
In Mr. Johnson, hf is succeeded- by
a Mason of many years, and an offi
cial who u’ill continue the policies
established, being a man of ability
and worth.
The Lodge starts the new year
1925 with bright prospects.
BIG STATE-WIDE!
ELECTION 6TH
Just one more election, and then
you can rest.
While it comes last on the list for
1924, it is in no wise the least, —and
that’s the election Saturday, Decem
ber 6th, of one Justice of the Peace
and two Constables in every one of
the 1,600 Militia Districts of Georgia.
Some five or six thousand candi
dates are expected to be in the vari
ous races, so you can see the magni
tude of this last battle of ballots for
a year that has seen many a political
campaign.
In Hart county there are eight
Districts, necessitating the election of
eight J. P’s. and 16 Constables.
In order for the governor to be
able to issue the certificates or com
missions by January 1, the date when
the new justices of the peace and
constables are to take office, quick
action on the part of the election
managers in the various districts will
be a vital factor.
The law provides that such elec
tions for justices of the peace shall
be held every four years on the first
Saturday in December, their term of
office being for the four-year period.
The constables are elected for two
year terms.
The returns for the constables are
forwarded to the ordinary of each
county, while the vote for the justices
of the peace are sent to the gover
nor’s office.
SLW FORCE DINES ON
CHICKEN AT HAILEY’S
CAFE FRIDAY NIGHT
“Surely, goodness and mercy shall
be The Sun’s portion” might be a
revised version, for truly this news
paper force has been royally treated
by friends during the year.
On last Friday night The Sun’s
crew, with appetites whetted by a
full day’s work, dined in great style
at Hailey’s Case as the guests of Mr.
Hailey Vickery and his assistant, Mr.
Roscoe Partain, who is the chef.
There was nothing lacking in quali
' ty, quantity, variety and service,—
| and it was ail prepared by electricity
lon the Case’s new electric range,
' which is one of the latest innovations
I in any restaurant of this section.
We appreciate the courtesy and
thoughtfulness of our friend, Mr.
Vickery, and his efficient chef, Mr.
I Partain.
I The bountiful repast was complete
. in detail, showing that these fellows
I are on the job, from the first course
, to the cigars at the close.
PHILLIPS— McGEE
A marriage of interest to many
I relatives and friends in the town and
j county was that of Miss Uriel Phillips
to Mr. Howard McGee, which oc
curred Thanksgiving dav, November
27th, 1924.
The ceremony was performed by
Judge J. W. .Scott, the Ordinary of
Hart county, in the presence of a
few close friends.
The bride is the daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. J. Rush Phillips, of Bethany
community, and a young lady of both
charm and accomplishments.
Mr. McGee is the son of Mr. and
Mrs. W. K. McGee, of Air Line, and
is a promising young farmer of the
county.
Many friends join The Sun in ex
tending to the happy young couple
heartiest congratulations and best
wishes for a long life of prosperity
j and usefulness.

TRAIN HART CO.
YOUTH NOW FOR
GOOD
The child that breaks a law and
is not reprimanded will find it easier
to break them when he or she grows
up,- and with far more serious con
.‘ i quences.
The time to stop disregard for the
laws of Hartwell, Hart county, Geor
gia and the nation is while the boys
and girls of this county are in their
teens. By teaching them the laws,
and impressing on them the import
ance of good citizenship and a high
regard for law.
Sabbath observance is one of many
other things that should be taught
more in the homes and schools. A
boy, girl, man or woman who does
I not properly respect the Sabbath day
is not likely to respect anything , or
anybody else.
Since its establishment in 1876,
over forty years ago, The Sun has
tried to stand firm in its advocacy ot
law and order in our county.
In many instances violations nre
■ not even censured by the parents of
j the young people who are the vio
; tutors. They appear to be imbued
with the idea that they can do as they
please, regardless of the law, and are
immune from punishment., because
the sentiment in their neighborhoods
is not strong enough to condemn
practices which the people know are
wrong.
It is not necessary, in this article,
j to enumerate the various violations
! of the laws against the manufacture
and sale of intoxicants, the game laws
and others, but several instances of
depravity have recently been reported
which is alarming on account of the
supreme indifference of those who
| should at all times be valiant in the
! upholding of the laws of our state,
I and impressing upon the youths of
1 our county the great importance of
. j the strictest obedience to all laws.
j A man who violates one law gener-
I ally finds it an easy step to violate
another, and before he realizes it he
; has committed very reprehensible
acts.
The parents of Hart county, who
have any regard for the* character
; and future of their children should
pause and reflect, and each one of
them should form themselves a coni
-1 rnittee of one to see that their own
, households are properly instructed
I and impressed with the great im-
I portance of strict obedience to all
' the laws of the state.
Mr. R. P. Bradley
Buried Sunday
Mr. Robert I’. Bradley, 78 years
of age, died Saturday morning, No
vember 29, 1924, in the Anderson
County Hospital, Anderson, S.
where he had been several days for
treatment.
He had been in ill health for sev
eral years, but only during the past
two or three months had been con
fined to his room. Since the death
a number of years ago of his wife,
Mrs. Lily Cloud Bradley, he had made
his home with his sister, Mrs. W. Y.
Holland, in this city.
Mr. Bradley for many years was
closely identified with the business
life of the community and also owned
valuable farming lands in the county.
He retired from active business
several years ago, but until recently
was a familiar figure about town,
where he was highly respected by all.
i He was born in Hart county Oct- i
ober 18, 1846. Early in life hy joined
the Methodist church at Cokesbury.
He was liberal towards the church
and attended regularly when his
health permitted.
He will be greatly missed in both
the town and county.
Surviving are one sister, Mrs. W.
Y. Holland, and the following nieces
and nephews: Mrs. E. E. Satterfield,
Mrs. Wm. J. Blackwell, Miss Mary
Holland, Miss Nell Bradley, Messrs.
W. E., A. B. and R. E. Holland, D. J.,
C. S., Albert and Berry Bradley.
Funeral services were held Sunday \
afternoon from the residence of Mr.
E. E. Satterfield, conducted by Rev. I
J. JI. Barton, pastor of the Hartwell I
Methodist church, assisted by Rev. ■
James Bradley of the Presbyterian
' church, and Rev. W. A. Duncan, of |
the Baptist chuch.
Interment was in the Hartwell i
cemetery beside his wife; funeral di
rector W. C. Page being in charge
of the arrangements.
Pallbearers were Jas. A. Estes, C.
I. Kidd, H. B. Webb, R. E. Mathe
son, A. N. Alford, Clayton M. Hern
don and J. A. W. Brown.
The sympathy of many friends is
extended the bereaved members of
the family.

CORNERS OF STATE AND
TO OTHER STATES.
Special Edition of The Sun Deserve*
Support of Every Business
In The Entire County
The National Publicity Edition of
The Hartwell Sun, now being pre
pared for publication at an early date
will be the most elaborate attempt
ever made by this newspaper to c .rry
the fame of this city and county to
the four, corners of the country. 1L
will require lots of preparation be
fore all the facts are marshalled so
that they can he broadcast in the pro
per form to impress those who will
receive it with the importance of the
city from which it emanatea. No con
structive civic or community feature,
no asset of value to this city and sec
tion will be omitted from the edition
which will be limited to size only by
the facilities of the plant to produce
it. It will cost a gffeat deal to pr
duce because it is proposed to ser
out a publication that will hit like
sledge hammer.
Churches, schools, city government,
civic organizations, and greater still,
industrial and commercial enter
prises will be played up in such a
form ns to make an impression that
will simply, be irresistible to those
seeking a location or a home, il.ero
is not a town in the state, big or
little, that has as many "talking
points” as Hartwell and Hart county,
j It is too big a proposition for The
Sun to curry alone. It must have the
1 united support of the community,
■ its men and its organizations. The
, industrial concerns must see that
their side of the community life is
portrayed and properly exploiledL
Not an enterprise should lose the
splendid opportunity to have part in
this practical and constructive meth
od of setting before the world Hart
well and Hart county resources and
poasiblities.
This edition of The Sun will not
be colored or exaggerated but will
state facts that will bear the closest
investigation. To that end special
writers have been engaged the past
week in marshalling these facts so,
that errors will be avoided and no'
explanations will be required after
, the publication goes into general cir
' culation.
Those desiring a reservation of
copies of this edition to send their
friends or to places where they w.ll
do most good for the city, should
phone in their orders before the first
section goes to press in about ten
days. Those who desire representa
tion in this publicity edition should
also secure their space early to get a
good location.
The National Publicity Edition will
be a success only if all interc .ta co
operate to that end. Churches, civic
organizations, the banking a.d in
dustrial institutions, the public
schools, all who are helping t< make
Hartwell arc asked to render such
assistance as in their power Les to
the end that this edition will be a
thing of pride to all who love their
city and are interested in her present
gmd future. With this hearty coopera
tion, given in the same spirit this
newspaper gives of its service when
called upon, the National Publicity
Edition will be notable.
The eyes of the public are centered
on this town and county. It can be
kept there by the right kind of pub
licity. Beside mailing copies of this
edition to Chambers of Commerce,
Kiwanis, Building trades, Public
School Libraries and all leading news
papers and other clubs in many states,
special care will be taken to get into
the offices of railroads and manu
facturing concerns as well as in the
hands of private persons known to
be interested in Hartwell and Hart
county.
The Sun desires, and expects the
hearty cooperation of all forward
looking men and women in this un
dertaking.

FIRE DESTROYS HOME
Fire totally destroyed the home and
contents of Mr. J. W. Brock in the
Milltown section on Friday, Novem
ber 28th. The blaze was discovered
about 9 o’clock in the morning and
evidently was caused by a spark fall
ing in a large quantity es leaves that
had fallen from a large tree in the
yard.
The house was comparatively new
and the loss comes as a heavy blow
to this family. They were all away
when the fire came. One feather
bed and a stove constitute the effects
saved.
The loss on house and contents
were only partly covered by insur
ance.
A scar on a tree caused by barbed
wire cutting on the trunk three feet
from the ground when the tree is ten
years old will still be three feet from
the earth when that tree is thirty-five
years of age or older. A surveyor’s
blaze struck shoulderhigh a hundred
years ago will still be shoulderhigh
today if the tree yet stands. A tree
expands in girth with the seasons,
but greater height is attained only
by new growth at the tree top.
