Griffith’s wonder spectacle ‘May Down East” which comes to the Star Theatre for a stay of two days be ginning Thursday is expected to be one of the greatest photoplay suc cesses this city has ever seen. 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 done “turn-away” box office bu.-i --ness.

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. —o SINGING CONVENTION SUNDAY The Hart Circuit Singers Conven tion will meet at Chandler’s Chapel next Sunday, Jan. 18th at 2 o’clock. We have a good supply of 1925 books.

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. vickeryawaitsaction OF FRANKLIN CO. GRAND JURY ON NEXT MONDAY Mr. James Vickery, of Franklin county, charged with the murder of Mr. James Evans, of Hart county, was given a commitment trial last Monday before Justices Hall and Whitmore, and bound over to the action of the Franklin County Grand Jury, which convenes on next Mon day morning in Carnesville. at o 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.

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. Note the advertisement this week. Mr. Crayton White And 87-Year-Old Mother, Mrs. Malissa White, Sell Over $413.06 Worth Products From Farm ’24 “Doc’s Ology” Sport*—School Et Cetera By DOC CLOCK 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?

This man cost the French govern ment. sixteen dollars to collect the 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 the pr : "iple in everything that counts. NO. 24
