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. o 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. C. G. CHAPMAN. GEORGIA TREASURY RECEIPTS IN 1924 MORE THAN SIXTEEN MILLION 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. o-~— Women From Agetits Adopt Home Program For Year ’25 Athens, Ga., February I.—Home demonstration agents in convention here adopted a program of work for 1925 which includes: First, each farm should have under the direction of the farm woman a garden, an or chard, poultry and cows, from which she should produce food for the family for the entire year and earn an income for herself; second, mar keting facilities should be develqped and the products standardized to give them a sales value and bring in cash return; third, inasmuch as the pre servation of the farm home is vitally necesary to the state, opportunity should be given to the farm wom.in to safeguard the health of her family by a study of foods and nutrition, to improve her home for health and con venience and to develop a satisfying community life.

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. o The present territory of Sweden is about half the size of California. —o— A vanity case may seem absurd to the male, hut the girls must have some way to carry their bathing suits.—New Haven Register.
