Law Observance
Conference Is
Postponed
A conference on law observance,
called to be held in Atlanta on Jan
uary 15, has been postponed to a
later date, it was announced Satur
day by Governor Walker, who had
issued the call for the gathering.
“Upon checking the responses to
the invitation extended to court of
ficials and other interested in the
conference on law observance, called
for January 15, it appears that a
majority of those invited are en
gaged elsewhere and can not be
present,” Governor Walker said. “I
have therefore determined to post
pone the conference to a later date,
when a more representative attend
ance can be assured.
“Notice of the time fixed will be
given through the press.”
The governor had asked the co
operation of all civic organizations
in the conference, and had issued
special invitations to leading Geor
gians from all sections of the state.

It may seem a little unusual but
this paper knows enough in advance
about “Way Down East” to advise
that all you lovers of the best in
motion pictures see this production at
the earliest opportunity because the
record of “Way Down East” m every
city where it has played is that it has

Basketball Gaines
On Saturday night, Jan. 17th, at
7:00 o’clock the boys and girls bas
ketball teams from Reed Creek will
■ meet the strong Nuberg teams at the
Hartwell High School Auditorium in
what promises to be two very close
and exciting games. Many will re
member the game played during De
cember when the Nuberg team won a
close and exciting game from Reed
Creek. There being only one point
difference in this game. The Reed
Creek team lost its best players from
last year by graduation and who are
now in the Hartwell school. However
a younger and new team is gradually
being developed that will before the
season is over give a good account
of itself. Nuberg has one of the
strongest teams in the history of the
school. This game ought to be one
of the closest and most interesting
games to be played on the Hartwell
court during the season. Come out
and see these strong Hart county
school teams in action. Admission
15 and 25 cents.

“The Gorilla” Plays
Here Next Tuesday
Evening 8 O’clock
A play presented by professionals
entitled “The Gorilla,” will be pre
sented at the new auditorium on next
Tuesday night, January 20th.
The play will begin at 8 o’clock,
and comes to Hartwell as a Redpath
Lyceum attraction.
“The Gorilla” has for its setting
a Western lumber camp amid rugged
rocky hills and miles of towering
pines that crowd to the very door
yards of the simple cabins. Unlit
nights of inky blackness; roads mere
paths where trees are less thickly
grown.
A woman in a lone cabin is found
dead, with fright pictured in her star
ing eyes; a man is shot, and someone
standing near him feels a hairy form
brush against him. Padded footsteps
are beard in a room where windows
are sealed and there is no outside
entrance. Terror reigns.
“The Gorilla” abounds in thrills
and tense moments as you can easily
imagine; but is relieved by snappy
comedy. You are kept guessing un
til the last few moments of the play
as to the identity of the mysterious
“thing” which frightened to death
poor “Nanny” and brought terror to
the entire camp.
There is a pretty love story woven
into it, and loyalty and unselfishness
triunfph in the end over selfishness
and criminal greed.

MR. BOOTH EXHIBITS TWO
INTERESTING DOCUMENTS
Mr. Thos. A. Booth, of near Mill
town, brought in two interesting
documents Tuesday, both being dated
Jack in the 60’s. One was a state
ment by Mr. Booth's mother, Mrs.
.Elizabeth C. Booth, then of Elbert
cygnly, to the effect that she would
support the constitution of the Unit
ed States, etc., and was dated Novem
ber 25th, 1865. This was an allegi
ance signed by the citizens of the
South after their defeat. The other
paper brought in by Mr. Booth was
a letter from his father, Mr. John
R. Booth, written in Savannah, where
he was stationed with the Confed
erate forces. The letter was dated
April 29th, 1864. He spoke of the
hardships, and asked his wife to send
a piece of meat if it could be spared.
Both papers are very interesting and
are highly treasured by Mr. Booth.

COUNTY SCHOOL
HOUSES ARE
PACKED
County School Supt. W. B. Morris
states that the schools of Hart
county are now experiencing the
largest attendance in the history of
the system.
Practically every school in the
whole county is full to overflowing.
“Hart county doesn't need an of
ficer to make the boys and girls go
to school,” said Mr. Morris. “They
are ready and willing to attend
school and it is gratifying to know
that the people of Hart county are
losing no time in erecting and equip
ping adequate buildings to take care
of this wonderful increase,” he con
tinued.
Another bond election looking to
ward the erection of a commodious
building at Goldmine is called in an
advertisement appearing this week
in The Sun.
Hartwell and Hart county have
taken great forward strides in edu
cational matters during the past few
years, and our progress has attract
ed no little attention over the State.
NEW RADIO DEALER
Mr. H. M. Clark, representing the
makers of the “Freshman Master
piece” radio, has moved to Hartwell
from Anderson, S. C., and has head
quarters in the new Hailey building.
Mr. Clark carries an announce
ment regarding the radio in this
week’s issue of The Sun and invites
everyone to call at Hailey’s drug
store to see and hear the instrument
in use.
He also has a machine in his room
over Hailey’s for private demonstra
tions.

If scores have anything to do with
the power of a team, then the Athens
High team bids fair to make a re
petition of what happened last Feb
ruary. At present they have defeat
ed every team played by a comfort
ably large score. Why, the other
night they placed their second team
against Lavonia’s varsity squad and
this same team scored 42 points to
12 of her opponents. And for a
team to pile, up this large a score
with their second team, 1 wonder
what their first team could have
done.
The Athens quintet this season is
made up of green material but if it
continues at its present gait will
doubtless win the Northeast Georgia
Tourney this season for the second
time in as many years.
The dates for the Northeast Geor
gia Basketball Tourney has been
changed from the last week in Feb
ruary to March 5, 6 and 7th. The
reason for the change was that so
many teams requested that they be
given a little longer time in which to
get their teams in shape for the
Tourney. Many teams, like Hart
well High's, were late in starting
practices and it was thought best to
change the time.
A certain Miss Julia Groo, of Port
land, Oregon, was awarded the prize
for writing the best essay on “Home
Lighting.” •
Miss Groo is only 15 years of age
and says she isn’t quite ready to
take possession of the $15,000 home
but stated that she would be ready
after a few years have passed.
A million school children wrote |
essays.
A certain person living at Nuberg '
told me the other day about the
Nuberg-Reed Creek game. I told an- I
other Nuberg booster what the first I
person had said. He replied, “May- |
be the reason he said what he did
was that he wanted to let you know
that there is another school in the
county besides Reed Creek, you write
so much about them and seem to
think that they are the only ones
in the county.”
This man was certainly wrong. No
sir, I do not have any preference at
all for one team over another. ’Tis
true that I do say a great deal about
Reed Creek and her prospects, but I
am no more for her than lam for
Nuberg, Sardis, or any of the county
schools. The purpose of this paper
is to boost everything that leads to
the advancement of our county
schools and that is why I say and
write of them.
Next week, in the school news, I
will try to say something the
Nuberg team and its prospects.
It’s amazing to just think of the
littleness of some people. I notice 1
in the paper the other day that in
The program for the 18th annual
Farmers Week short course at the
State College of Agriculture, has
been announced by President An
drew M. Soule, and appears else
where in this week’s Sun.
Much interest is being taken local
ly in the event, which will be held
beginning on Monday, January 26,
and closing Saturday, January 31st.
The week's conference will bring
to Athens hundreds of farmers and
business men for that week and.
likely to be the largest of its kind
held by the college. According to
those in close touch with agricultural
progress in Georgia in the last few
years the annual farmers’ week con
ferences held by the college have
been largely responsible for the
achievements along that line.
Among those slated for addresses
are: Preston S. Arkwright, of At
lanta; Dr. L. G. Hardman, of Com
merce; L. A. Downs, president Cen
tral of Georgia railroad; Chancellor
D. C. Barrow, Dr. Andrew M. Soule,
J. E. Conwell, president Georgia Cot
ton Growers’ Co-operative associa
tion; B. S. Miller, Columbus; W. B-
Baker, Atlanta, president Atlantic
Ice and Coal corporation, and other
well known farmers and business
men of the South.
All county and home demonstra
tion agents will be in attendance and
the annual extension conference will
be held in conjunction with the farm
meet.
The back-bone of the week will
i be the study of all phases of agricul
ture and home economics—the pre
sentation in class and lecture of the
latest and best information on these
subjects by men and women who
have made them their life study.
Not only will the visitors secure
ideas as to how to accomplish their
work by better and more efficient
methods but they will be inspired
both by the contacts with others who
have similar problems and by the ad
dresses by men and women of nation
al prominence.
See the program in this issue, oc
cupying a solid page.
Mr. Crayton White, who lives on
Canon 1, just beyond Hartwell
Campgrouhd, last year sold produce
and other tiling from the farm to
the amount of $413.06, —and unless
some one comes along and beats old
Crayton we’re going to proclaim
him “the best in Hart."
Sold Little of Everything.
Mr. White makes two visits to
Hartwell every week for the purpose
of selling his produce, etc. He is
ably assisted in the preparation of
same by his mother, Mrs. Malissa
White, who, although 87 years of
age, is one of the most active and
most lovable old women of Hart
county.
Mrs. White helps her son prepare
things for market and takes a keen
interest in all the details.
Among the items wild here during
the past year were butter, eggs,
chickens, green peas, cow peas, table
peas, meal, corn, wood, muscadines,
and many other things.
Mr. White and his mother kept an
accurate account of everything sold,
the date, amount received, etc., —
and they’re exactly $413.06 better
off for their efforts.
That’s fine, can you beat it?

Paris it took 180 policemen to make

which amounted to only two dollars.
This man cost the French govern

money he owed the government.
Had this person eluded the officers
the first time he probably would have
done things later on that are worse
than what he did—you know that if
a person gets away with some small
things it wont be long before he will
be attempting larger and more daring
undertakings.
The government did not force him
to pay his tax for the money but for
the principle involved—you know it’s

counts.
