TRADE IN HARTWELL---THE METROPOLIS OF N. E. GEORGIA THE HARTWELL SUN. 8 PAGES IN THIS ISSUE VOL 49 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. „ a , "ther points there is great .

The little girl has been resting nicely and with the treatment ad ministered twice daily the physician states that no complications are like ly to arise. Fortunately, the serum was ad -1 ministered without waiting on the re port from Atlanta. The dog belong ed to Mr. Risner. Another Mad Dog. Policeman Jud Cason killed his dog last week when actions on the part of the animal indicated that it was diseased. A telegram to Mr. Cason Tuesday stated that the dog had rabies. No one was bitten by this dog, fortunate ly. BENTON SUIT DIES Mrs. Benton C.

Rev. J. J. Hiott. The deceased, before her marriage, was Miss Mae Nixon, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Monroe Nixon, who survive her. She had been ill two weeks with pneumonia. Mrs. Suit was a member of the Reed Creek church where she joined as a girl. Besides the grief-stricken husband and parents, she is survived by an infant son; three sisters, Misses Ber tha, Nell and Everzell Nixon, and three brothers, Otis, Owens and Hoyt Nixon. Funeral director W. C. Page, of Hartwell, was in charge of the ar rangements. The many friends of the bereaved ones deeply sympathize with them in their sorrow. o- — “I’m afraid you’ve made a mis take,” said the musican. “I am certainly a doctor, but a doctor of music.” , , .... 11T “Oh, yes,” said the old lady. I understand, but you see I have such a singing in my ears.” MR. AND MRS. J. T. RICHARDSON SELL OVER SSOO WORTH PRODUCE And now comes our friend, Mr. J. T Richardson, of Hartwell 4, living between Sardis and Liberty Hill who upsets that splendid record made by Mr. Crayton White as recorded m last week’s Sun. Mr Richardson s books show ‘hat he*and the good wife sold products from the garden and the yard during the past year to the amount of * Unis 6 beats Mr. White’s report by a margin of sßß.9o,—and we can iust -ee old Crayton rolling up his sleeves to show Mr. Richardson that GOOD WORK BY HART OFFICERS A large 30-gallon copper still and 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. All islands in the rivers bounding Hart come under Georgia’s jurisdic tion. —o-- 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.

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.

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. . ——.— 4-——- KIWANIS CLUB MEETING Reports by the chairmen of the various committees appointed for the now year featured Friday’s meet ing of the Hartwell Kiwanis Club. Following invocation by Kiwanian W. A. Duncan, the meeting was cull ed to order by the new President, J. A. W. Brown, with the newly elected Secretary, Judson B. Shaw, also on the job. President IJrown turned the pro gram over to the Program Committee ('hairman, W. S. Long, who had charge of that part of the session. He stressed the importance of each Committee functioning 100 per cent during the new year, and urged all the members of the various commit tees to co-operate fully at all times. Kiwanian 11. W. Bingham announc ed the meeting of farmers beginning January 26th at the State College of Agriculture. A visitor of the day was Mr. J. G. Norris, of Atlanta. Mrs. L. N. Adams presided at the piano during the meeting. It doesn’t harm a miller to bolt his meal. 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 the Bankhead Highway traverses.
