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.

HARTWELL, HART COUNTY, GA., FRIDAY, DECEMBER 5,1924 Wi & 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.

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. Secretary—B. S. Hall. Treasurer —H. S. Phillips. Chaplain—Jno. A. Brown. Tyler—J. H. Howell. 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.

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.

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. o 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. NO. 18
