State Courts To Try
U. S. Liquor Cases
Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 3.—Adoption by
the federal prohibition department
of Georgia of a policy whereby the
federal officers, in all cases possible
will turn over violators of the pro
hibition law to the state courts for
prosecution instead of the federal
courts, was disclosed Friday in the
offices of Fred D. Dismuke, federal
prohibition director for Georgia.
All agents of the Georgia prohibi
tion department were instructed at a
recent meeting by Director Dismuke
to carry out this policy whenever pos
sible. It was pointed out that the
change was made to relieve conges
tion in the federal courts, where hun
dreds of whisky cases clog the
calendar each term.
Penalties in the state courts for
liquor violation are heavier, it was
pointed »ut, the offense being a
felony in the state courts and only
a misdemeanor in the federal courts.
In the past hundreds of whisky
cases have come into the federal
court of northern Georgia, making it
necessary for extra judges to be as
signed to this district to relieve the
congestion. In the future instead
of two cases—a state case and a
federal case—being made against the
violator, only one case will be docket
ed, and this will be a state case
wherever it is possible, it was said.
It was learned that not a single
case of violation of the prohibition
' law had come before United States
Commissioner Colquitt Carter in
about a week. Instructions to carry
out the new policy were given to
Georgia agents last Saturday, it is
understood.
Dispatches from Washington Fri
day night stated that no general or
der had been issued for federal
agents to take their cases to state
| courts, this matter being left to the
judgment of the prohibition director
of each state.
o
PLAY AT MONTEVIDEO
The P. T. A. of Montevideo will
put on their play Saturday night,
Feb. 7th, at 7:30 o’dock. The string
band will be there.
They will serve chicken and oyster
j stew also.
Put Up More Signs
On Dixie “A” Route
Mr. N. Buckner, manager of the
Western Carolina Motor Club, to
gether with a sign posting crew,
stopped over for a few hours in
j Hartwell last week-end, en route to
Florida. .
They were putting up additional
l signs on the famous Dixie Route
: “A,” which runs from Detroit,
through Cincinnati, Asheville, Green
ville, Anderson, Hartwell, Athens and
on to Florida.
Signs were placed along this high
way two years ago, and have been
instrumental in bringing a large
tourist travel this way.
The Dixie “A” route is said to be
one of the finest scenic highways in
the United States.
Tourist travel through Hartwell
has been heavier this season than
ever before.
Will Set Out Pretty
Crepe Myrtle Trees
Appropriate Exercises Will Mark
Day Set Apart to Beautify Famous
Hartwell Campground—Attorney
General Napier May Speak
Since the Hartwell Campground
has been designated the site of the
annual Training Camp for Sunday
school workers in the Elberton Dis
trict, a plan has been set in motion
to beautify the place.
One hundred crepe myrtle trees
will be set out in the square sur
rounding the large central building
where the school and preaching ser
vices are held annually. Some pecan
trees will also be set out.
Will Be Big Event
The definite date has not yet been
announced for the “arbor day,” but
will be announced as soon as the
speaker for the day can be secure!.
The Sunday school board in At
lanta, headed by Rev. Homer Thonw
son, is taking a great interest in the
event, and from that office plans will
be given out soon. It will be an oc
casion of great interest.
Attorney General May Speak
It is very likely that Attorney
General Napier of the State of Geor
gia will be the principal speaker of
the day.
Every Sunday school and church in
the Elberton District will send large
delegations to Hartwell Campground
for the day.
Presiding Elder Horace S. Smith,
of Elberton, is enthusiastic over the
outlook for both the Training School
and Campmeeting this summer. He
will very likely ask all the ministers
of the District to be present for the
arbor day celebration.
The trees selected are always in
full bloom during Campmeeting each
year and will make the famous old
Hartwell Campground a place of
beauty, indeed.
Hartwell and Hart county people
who wish to contribute one or several
crepe myrtle trees in memory of
some loved one, or just to help in
the beautifying plans should see Miss
Emma Kay, of Hartwell, who is
chairman of the Hartwell Camp
ground Arbor Day committee. Trees
may be brought to The Hartwell Sun
office or carried to Miss Kay’s home
in Hartwell any day before Feb
ruary 15th.

CONWELL AMONG STATE’S
LEADING CITIZENS
In a list of big men of Georgia
the Jackson Herald lists Hon. J. E.
Conwell right up near the top of the
column. In a list of sketches of
Georgia men who are doing Georgia
a service, Hon. John Holder pays the
following tribute to Mr. Conwell:
“Still another man, who is helping
his State, not as the head of a State
institution of learning, but as the
head of a mammoth enterprise, is
Mr. J. E. Canwell. He is President
of the Georgia Co-sperative Cotton
Growers Association of this State.
This year the Association will handle
more than a hundred thousand bales
of Georgia grown cotton. We know
of very few men who have the genius
of both organization and operation
as has Mr. Conwell. He organized
the Georgia Cotton Growers Co
operative Association. It took genius
to do that. As a rule, the organizer
I does not prove to be a great operator,
’ and soon after organization of a
I great enterprise, the man who or
ganized it is replaced by some one
else. Mr. Conwell is not only a
genius in organization, but he ap
plied common sense, fairness and
business principles to the Association,
and has made it a great success. He
smashed the theory that only young
men can organize and conduct a new
enterprise, for Mr. Conwell was fifty
when he began his new work. He is
now in the full prime and vigor of
life, and the Association of which
he is the head has a bright future
before it.”
o
MONTEVIDEO SECTION
IS WIDE AWAKE PLACE
During the summer months of last
August the good citizens of Monte
video school district held a meeting
for the purpose of erecting a larger
and more comfortable building. Much
credit is due Mr. D. O. Chapman for
his good work, not only in presence,
but with hammer and saw in hand
considering the fact that he is near
his 80th birthday. Also Mr. C. A.
i Richardson who labored in the heat
lof the summer sun. Mr. Richardson
has been a faithful trustee for fif
i teen years. The school has been
i handicapped for the like of suffi
cent room to accomodate pupils
entering. But with a few exceptions,
all will be in readiness for one of the
best schools of any section of this
county.
This District had on roll at one
time some two or three hundred
pupils, why not have this number
today or even more with Prof. T. J.
Cleveland as principal I dare say no
man is more capable of filling his
place as teacher, not only in this
■ immediate vicinity but any section
i of the state.
In fact everything is taking on
• new life and vigor. The good ladies
■ have already organized the P. T. A.
with large attendance. These ladies
t have also pledged to put on a play
l in the near future the proceeds to
go for the beautifying of the school.
I Notice will appear in next issue
of The Sun stating the exact date
of play.

GEORGIA TREASURY RECEIPTS IN

Insurance Policies
For Veterans Are
Coming In
Applications for insurance poli
cies issued by the government to
veterans under the adjusted com
pensation act have been coming in
rapidly and at this time the county
has been pretty well cleaned up,
there being several hundred policies
involving an outlay of perhaps
several hundred thousand dollars
held by veterans in Hurt county.
There seems to be some question
in the minds of many as to just what
value these policies have. Numbers
of veterans have asked what to do
with them, whether money could be
borrowed on them or not. At the
present time, it is stated, these poli
cies have no loan value and will have
none until January 1, 1927, at which
time the holder may borrow ninety
per cent of the reserve value of the
policy. These are non nego
tiable and have qt> value as an in
vestment but are of immense value
to the family of a veteran holding
such policy being the same as a
twenty year paid up endowment
policy and backed by the government.

PROGRAM FOR GEORGIA FARMS
AS OUTLINED BY FARMERS’ MEET
A farm program for Georgia for
1925 has been adopted- This was
done at a meeting in Athens last
week of representative farmers,
bankers and business men from dif
ferent sections of tne state. Here is
the program:
1. Crops in Georgia must be di
versified. There must be raised up
on farms sufficient food crops to
makf each farm self-sustaining.
There should be upon each farm live
stock and poultry and in each com
munity proper dairying facilities.
Through this live stock and dairying
farmers will realize cash returns suf
ficient for their needs until returns
from their staple crops are received.
2. Farmers of the state must be
financed in making their crops and
in operating their farms. This fi
nancing should be at a reasonable
rate of interest and upon terms
favorable to our farming interests.
There should be established agricul
tural credit corporations wherever
necessary in the state, which co
operate in conjunction with the local
banks of the community in adequate
ly and easily financing our farming
operations.
3. The principle of co-operative
marketing should be applied gener
ally in the marketing of farm pro
ducts. This system of co-operative
marketing should be applied not only
to our staple crops, such as corn, cot
ton, peanuts and tobacco, but should
be equally applied to other crops
which can be properly raised under
a diversified program. The principle
of co-operative marketing as applied
to farm prpducts in Georgia is un
qualifiedly indorsed.
Educational Opportunities.
4. Inasmuch as any development
program is predicted on adequate
leadership, we desire to indorse these
types of higher education 'necessary
to develop a sufficient number of
Georgia’s rural boys and girls nec
essary to make the agriculture of
Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 3. —Almost $17,-
000,000 passed through the treasury
of the state of Georgia during 1924,
according to statistics made public
Saturday by Captain W. J. Speer,
state treasurer. On December 31,
1924, the receipts for the twelve
month period totaled $16,765,264.08
against disbursements of $16,739,-
474.39.
Arrangements have been complet
ed to meet the discounted school war
rants that were floated last spring to
provide funds for the maintenance
of the common schools of the state
until the receipt of tax moneys lat*r
in the year. These warrants are now
maturing and will be paid on Mon
day by the transfer to the National
Park bank, of New York, of $2,348,-
441. Such warrants as are present
ed at the office of Lhe state treasurer
will be paid on the spot, it was an
nounced.
An additional $395,078 of dis
counted warrants will mature March
I, making a total of $2,743,519 in
school warrants discounted during
the year 1924, to provide payment
for teachers.
After these sums are paid there
will remain due the common schools
the sum of $822,001.72 as a balance
on the 1924 school appropriation, and
Captain Speer expects to disburse at
least half this amount to the various
counties and towns early in Feb
ruary. The remainder will be paid as
soon as the condition of the treas
ury will permit.
The treasurer’s statement shows
that on January 1, 1924, there was a
cash book balance of $2,326,416.50
and at the close of the fiscal year on
December 31, 1924 the cash book bal
ance was $2,352,206.19.
As custodian of federal funds, the
state treasurer disbursed during
1924 $140,197.65 for federal vo
cational training; $11,083.39 for
federal rehabilitation work; $2,053.-
55 for federal venereal disease pre
vention; and $18,216.07 for federal
hygiene of maternity and infancy
work.
Federal funds for disease preven
tion and maternity and infant hy
giene were paid over to the state
board of health in accordance with
the co-operative features of the fed
eral and state laws.
Additional federal funds to the
amount of $2,061,806.76 were
handled through the state treasury
for highway purposes, this sum being
paid to the state highway depart
ment to match state and county
funds.
Bonds of insurance companies and
other corporations were handled by
the state treasurer to the amount of
approximately $4,000,000 during the
year 1924.
Get Your Tag
Sheriff Britt Brown, in this issue,
sounds the warning that autoists
have only a short while flow in which
to secure their 1925 tags.
March Ist is the last day, nnd with
the rush that usually occurs in the
Atlanta office it is likely that many
car owners will be without tags and
consequently the use of their cars if
they wait too late.
Better get a blank now and order
the ’25 tag; it costs just as much
later as now.
the state efficient and self-sustain
ing.
5. There should be county units
or county organizations formed in
each c ounty for the purpose of help
ing the farmer to promote a diversi
fied agriculture, to properly educate
their children, to better their methods
of production and in general to bring
about community wefifare.
The program, as pointed out by
officials of the Georgia Department
of Agriculture, Commissioner J. J.
Brown taking a prominent part ire
the Athens meeting, calls for self
sustaining farms, better financing
for farmers, co-operative marketing
for all farm products, more advanced
and higher educational opportunities
for rural boys and girls and organi
zation of agricultural interests, in
cluding farmers and those inte-.sted
in farming, into county units or or
ganizations.
