eclipse of sun is scheduled
as BIG ATTRACTION SATURDAY
-- - A *—
Viable Here Beginning 9:ol—Radio,
Air»hip» and Powerful Cameras
To Play A Part Saturday
It it isn’t cloudy on Saturday
„ nrn i n g of t his week, January 24,
winning at exactly 9:01 o’clock
Eastern time, the people of this sec
tion will witness a partial eclipse of
the sun.
The eclipse will be total over a
oath 85 miles wide, between Duluth,
Minn., to Boston, Mass., and it will
be as’ dark in that section as if it
were midnight.
The approaching event has created
mor e interest among the nation’s
scientists than any astronomical
phenomenon within recent years.
H The eclipse will be visible for two
and one-half hours.
Xew information on the speed of
light, the effect upon radio trans
mission, of the sudden blotting out
of the sun, and more exact informa
tion regarding the gravitation pull
of the earth on the moon through
accurate measurements of the path
of the shadow, are anticapated by the
hordes of scientists of the govern
ment and various scientific institu
tions.
To Use Huge Airships
Naval scientists will photograph
and observe the eclipse from the larg
est dirigible in the world, the Los
Angeles, in a flight from its station
at Lakehurst, N. J. Dr. David Todd,
noted astronomer of Amherst univer
sity, will conduct similar investiga
tions from the army semi-rigid dirigi
ble TC-4.
Thousands of Boy Scouts and sci
ence clubs over the country have
been asked to station themselves at
intervals over their territory to rec
ord the precise time and degree of
the eclipse. The information will be
assembled and checked to enable the
astronomers to chart exactly the path
of the moon, which has not been exr
actly fixed heretofore. This com
putation is expected to have impor
tant effects upon the present figures
of gravitation, which have been de
termined by previous observations of
the moon’s course.
Scientists with the most precise
equipment will register the exact
time of the eclipse, to be used in
these calculations. The eclipse will
be 95 to 99 per cent total in New
England and middle western states
outside of the “path of totality,” de
creasing to 80 per cent in the South
Atlantic states, about 70 per cent
along the gulf. Even Porto Rico
"ill see a “one-half eclipse.”
Only the brightest stars will be
seen, if mist and fog do not ob
scure everything during the total
darkness period of about two min
utes in the points along the path of
the lunar shadow.
The phenomena will start at a
point 120 miles west of Duluth,
Minn., a minute after 8 a. m., central
standard time. (Note: Duluth uses
central time.)
Racing eastward at 150 miles a
minute, the tremendous band of
darkness widens to nearly 200 miles
by 9:12 a. m., eastern standard time,
"hen the shadow sweeps off Mon
tauk Point, R. 1., to be lost in the
stormy Atlantic ocean.
Scientific organizations and peri
'dieals are sending out special ap
peals to amateur and professional
photographers along the western
chores of the great lakes because it
!? possible that the only picture of
he eclipse may be obtained there.

four barrels of beer, in all about 200
gallons, were captured on Chandler's
island last Thursday by Sheriff A.
B. Brown, and Officers C. L. Kay,
Jno. A. Dickinson and Mr. W. C.
O’Barr.
The still was in good shape and
it was evident that a run was about
to be made.
Chandler’s island is a few miles up
the Tugalo river from Hatton’s ford.

Danville Visitors In
City Boost Route
To Florida
Officials of the Danville (Va.)
Chamber of Commerce were in Hart
well a few days ago conferring with
the local organization regarding the
plans to advertise extensively the
new highway from Washington, D.
C. to Florida, which goes through
Richmond, Danville, Greensboro,
Charlotte, Greenville, Anderson,
Hartwell, Athens, Macon and on to
Florida.
An attractive pamphlet is now
coming off the press, of which sev
eral hundred thousand will be dis
tributed during the remaining winter
months all over the state of Florida.
The route through this section
traverses the famous Bankhead High
way.
The pamphlet in addition to fur
nishing a map of the states through
which the highway extends and in
formation with reference to general
road conditions, will also give histori
cal facts of each town and city along
the route. Tourists who combine
sight-seeing and pleasure with their
trip to Florida will no doubt be great
ly interested in the historic facts of
towns given in the pamphlet.
While the name of the route has
not been definitely decided upon,
the committee from the Danville
chamber of commerce stated that it
would probably be known as the “Old
South Trail,” inasmuch as it passes
through a number of the famous
southern states and touches with
many historical points of interest.
Combined committees from the
Hartwell Chamber of Commerce and
the Kiwanis Club met with the Dan
ville citizens and assured them of our
co-operation.
The route as outlined to the offi
‘cials of the local chamber, will make
a much shorter route between Wash
ington, D. C., and Greensboro, N. C.,
byway of Danville, Va.
Arkansas Negro
Not Jackson
Sheriff A. B. Brown was called to
Danville, Arkansas, last Saturday by
a message and description that evi
dently fit Lincoln Jackson, col.,
wanted for the murder in Hart
county recently of Officer Snow
Skelton and the attempted murder
i of Mr. Brown.
Upon arrival in Danville Sheriff
Brown found that while the resemb
lance and marks on the body of the
I negro held were somewhat similar,
I he was not Jackson.
There has been no Jet-up in the
efforts to locate Jackson, the re
wards totaling $l,lOO for his cap
ture.
Every county seat jn the United
States has been notified of his
escape.
Buy Reo Company
Announcement has been made of
the purchase by Messrs. Jim Loyd
Teasley and Jno. H. Baker of the
garage known as the Reo Hartwell
Co., below The Hartwell Bank.
The garage carries tires and all
kinds of accessories, sells gasoline,
oils, etc.
The Sun joins the many friends of
Messrs. Teasley and Baker in wish
ing them success in their business.
The Reo Hartwell Co. was former
ly owned by Messrs. Thos. H. Estes
and Thos. J. Cunninghanr.
People are queer, and only the rich
can afford to wear jewelry from the
ten-cent store. —Nashville Tennesse
an.
lit can’t be done again in 1925.
Included in Mr. Richardson’s tales
were milk, butter, chickens, Eggs,
vegetables, green peas, apples,
; peaches, etc., —and then he and Mrs.
i Richardson had besides the things
i enumerated 150 bushels of corn and
. 2 bales of cotton that they raised.
The sale of these, however, is not
included in the receipts mentioned.
Incidentally, Mr. Richardson sold
from a turnip patch in 1923, year
before yast, over $126 worth.
Now it’s up to somebody to beat
Mr. Richardson’ report of 1924.
i Come on for 1925, Cravton.

Meet In Atlanta 9th
Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 20.—The eyes
of the more than 10,000 Methodist
women who make up the membership
of the North Georgia conference,
Woman’s Missionary society, are all
turning toward Atlanta as the date
for their annual meeting approaches.
February 9 has been decided upon
as the opening date, the conference
to be in session until noon on Feb
ruary 13.
The Druid Hills auxiliary will be
hostess to this great body of earnest
women and preparation is being
made in away that is in keeping
with everything done by this organi
zation, which is one of the foremost
in all southern Methodism in activity,
finances, organization, membership
and leadership.
Mrs. M. E. Tilly, of Atlanta, is
charman of the program committee,
which in itself insures a worth-while
meeting, and great interest has cen
tered around the program, since it
has been found possible to have as
the outstanding speakers such per
sons as Miss Maria Gibson, beloved
president emeritus of the Scarritt
College for Christian Workers; Dr.
J. L. Cunningham, president of Scar
ritt; Mrs. Luke Johnson and Dr. W.
W. Alexander, of Atlanta.
The missionaries home on furlough
who will lend inspiration to the pro
gram are Dr. Fred Manget, Miss
Margaret Cook, Mrs. Henderson, and
Atlanta's very own, Al Staton, re
presenting in a personal way China,
Japan, Korea and Brazil.
Mrs. J. N. McEachern, who is the
official delegate from this conference
to the foreign missions convention of
United States and Canada, to be held
in Washington, D. C., January 28-
February 2, will bring a report which
will be full of helpful suggestions and
vital interest to all church people.
On the afternoon of February 9,
just prior to the opening session, an
institution will be held at which time
the conference officers and district
secretaries will discuss the plans for
the work of 1925.
All sessions of the conference will
be open to the public and mission
workers of other denominations will
be very welcome.

A man is entitled to his share but
he has no right to try to separate an
other man from his.

Federal Reserve Is
Doing Great Work
Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 21.—Business
and financial leaders in Atlanta, in
commenting upon the prosperous fi
' nancial condition of the country,,
point to the great service to the
nation’s commercial life that has
been performed through the Federal
Bank System.
The function of the Reserve banks,
as often stated by Governor M. B.
Wellborn of the Federal Reserve
Bank of Atlanta, is to create credit.
The Reserve bank is doing on a
nation-wide scale and on a basis of
government authority and guarantee
what individual banks have always
done for their individual customers.
It is a national system that makes
credit available in large sums
through member banks for the bene
fit of their customers, thus creating
a national credit reservoir able to
serve without undue strain the fluct
uating credit needs of agriculture,
industry and commerce in all parts
of the nation. The Federal Reserve
Bank of Atlanta covers the sixth
federal district, which embraces
Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Tennes
see, Mississippi and Louisiana.
The business of the nation is done
on the basis of credit structure. The
individual band check is one form of
this credit that is in every day use.
Clearing House Transaction.
Clearing house transactions in this
country during the past year, repre
senting issuance of checks, totaled
138 billions of dollars. But on June
30, 1924, “the total stock of coin
and other money in the United
Stales was $8,746,500,000,” said a
report of the comptroller.
So the check transactions amount
ed to more than fifty times as much
as all the money in the country.
Without this federal banking ser
vice, financial leaders in Atlanta as
sert, the country would find its
business life immeasurably slowed
down and rendered exceedingly
cumbrous and inconvenient.
The Reserve bank system, it was
pointed out in Atlanta, is merely an
expansion of a nation-wide basis of
this credit machinery that is a pri
mary function of banks. Joining
the federal banks gives a member
bank access to an unlimited reser
voir of credit. .

The Bankhead National Highway
Association was the first highway, or
civic Association, in the United States
to create a Women’s Commission, for
the pupose of beautifying highways
in the country. This commission was
created six years ago, and during
that time most active and earnest
work has been done by women in
thirteen states, through which the
Bankhead Highway traverses. Thou
sands of trees and shrubbery have
been planted, advertising signs re
moved, markers erected and much
enthusiasm aroused among the boys,
girls and people generally in the
beautification of this highway. A
number of other highway associa
tions have followed the lead of the
Bankhead Highway in this movement.
Mr. J. A. Rountree, Birmingham,
Ala., Director-General, of the Bank
head Highway Association, has rt
ceived most enthusiastic reports from
the women Commissioners in the
thirteen states which the Bankhead
Highway traverses from Washington
to San Diago, Calf., stating that dur
ing the coming spring months that
renewed efforts will be put forth in
the beautification work.
Mrs. R. K. Rambo, of Atlanta, is
a member of the Woman’s Commis
sion, representing Georgia. She is
actively at work arousing interest
and appointing committees in the
various counties, through which the
Bankhead Highway traverses, to take
up the work of planting flowers,
roses, shrubbery and trees along the
Bankhead Highway, during the com
ing spring months.
Mrs. Albert E. Thornton, of At
lanta, who is President of the Wo
man’s Commission, of the Bankhead
Highway Association, is actively co
operating with the members of the
Woman's Commission in their work
in the thirteen states through which
