HARTWELL LAD STICKS TO POST
AS RADIO OPERATOR WHEN GALE
DRIVES U.S. SUBMARINE ON ROCK
The Boston (Mass.) Post of Jan
, 01 «t contained a thrilling ac-
Ua Jnt of the wrecking of the U. S.
C hmarine S-48 in the harbor at
Portsmouth, New Hampshire, during
kitodintr snow storm and heavy gale
h? that section the night before.
On the submarine, and named as
; o f the heroes of the incident,
- Wireless Operator Joel Dicker
son of Mr. Wm. C. Dickerson,
> $ Hartwell 3, near Liberty Hill
Ch The Boston Post carried a photo
_nh of Dickerson and his wireless
mate Redmond C. Carroll, both of
whom stuck to their post and sent
out the S. 0. S. signal as the sub
marine was battered by the blizzard
and heavy waves. .
There were thirty-six men and two
officers on the S-48 when it went on
the rocks, all being saved. The com
mander, Lieutenant - Commander
» Stewardt E. Bray, was cited for
bravery, not leaving the conning
tower until every one of his men
were saved and out of the wrecked
Dickerson has been in
the U. S. Navy for some time, and
has won recognition in his work. He
is remembered by many who will be
glad to know of his bravery in the
incident just recounted and who re
joice with his father and the family
I here that he still lives to tell the
story.
Dickerson will probably get leave
during July or August for a visit to
the home here, and will be accorded
a warm welcome back by relatives
and freinds.

KIWANIANS HEAR GOOD
TALKS ON "BUYING
AT HOME”
Few meetings of the Kiwanis Club
have ever been so interesting as that
Friday, when the “Trade-At-Home”
program was continued, — and there
were three talks by Kiwanians Fred
P. Linder, Joe E. Cobb and Steve
Skelton that might well have been
heard by every man, woman and child
in the whole town and county.
Hartwell and Hart county people
are beginning to realize that we must
trade at home if we are to make this
community what it promises to be
with the proper support. The pro
gram Friday was very timely, and
Vhairman W. S. Long of the Program
Committee is doing some splendid
work, together with the other mem
bers of his committee, in making the
sessions full of interest and enthu
siasm.
President Brown announced that
at each meeting from now on an
“attendance prize” would be given
away. At the Friday meeting the
name of A. S. Skelton was drawn,
and the pair of silk sox donated by
Mr. Brown’s store was awarded him.
Mrs. L. N. Adams furnished music
for the event.
The women herring cleaners of the
west coast of Scotland clean an
average of twenty herring a minute.
Since January 1, last year, 1,500

Old Glory To Greet
Visitors Here On
Gala Days
Through the efforts of the local
post American Legion nearly every
business house in Hartwell has re
cently purchased a large flag, and
in front of each door a place has
been prepared to display Old Glory
on special occasions.
With each flag is a pole and when
the city is decorated from now on
there will be both uniformity and
dignity in the effect obtained.
Many Georgia cities have adopted
this plan for decoration purposes,
and those who have visited places
where they were in use state this is
perhaps one of the best to be had.
In the future when Hartwell gets
ready to put on some event there’ll
be a new sight for those who come.
The Hart County Post of the
American Legion is to be commended
for this splendid work.

NEW POWER LINE
TOUCHES HART
The new power lines from Toccoa
to Augusta, costing a million and a
half dollars, will be built as soon as
material can be had for the job, it is
announced.
The Georgia Railway & Power Co.
is behind the project, and completion
is called for by September Ist. They
will connect with the Augusta-Aiken
Electric & Railway Co., the new
transmission line being 100 miles in
letngth.
With the completion of power pro
jects now under way and those con
templated, the total cost to aggregate
fifty million dollars, this section of
the State will eventually become the
leading manufacturing center of the
South, it is expected.
The new lines will go through the
western part of Hart county.

HARTWELL, HART COUNTY, GA., FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1925
HON. C. 0. MOSER
SPEAKS HERE
MONDAY
A treat is promised the citizens
of Hart county in the address which
will be delivered at the courthouse at
Hartwell Monday, February 16, at
2 P. M. by the Hon. C. O. Moser.
Mr. Moser will speak here under
the auspices of the Georgia Cotton
Co-operative Association; but he will
discuss not so much co-operative mar
keting as the “Farm Program for
1925,” recently adopted at a notable
session of farmers, educators, bank
ers and merchants at Athens.
This program calls for diversifica
tion of crops to the extent of making
each farm self sustaining, for ade
quate financing of the farmer at a
reasonable rate of interest and on
fair terms, and for co-operative mar
keting of products of give the farmer
a fair share of the consumer’s dollar.
Mr. Moser is secretary of the
American Cotton Growers’ Exchange,
the parent body of all the cotton co
operatives in the country. He was
reared on a farm in Texas, and serv
ed many years as County Agent. In
work of organizing all states co
i operatives, he has become familiar
with all farmers’ troubles and needs
in all the Southern states, and has
! seen some of these troubles satis
factorily worked out. What he has
to say will be worth traveling miles
to hear.

Attorney - General
Napier To Speak
Here 26th
The arbor day exercises at the
famous old Hartwell Campground,
three miles west of this city, will oc
cur on Thursday, February 26th, a
message coming Tuesday that At
torney-General Napier will stop 'over
here en route to Atlanta from Wash
ington, D. C., and be the principal
speaker of the day.
Others coming from a distance will
be Rev. Homer Thompson, head of
the Sunday school work in the North
Georgia Conference; Dr. W. L.
Pierce and Rev. J. C. Adams, of At
lanta; Dr. Horace S. Smith, of El
berton, and practically every pastor
and Sunday school worker in the
entire District is expected.
Since being designated as the site
of the Elberton District Training
Camp for S. S. workers the Hartwell
Campground has taken on new life
and bids fair to eventually be the as
sembly ground of all the summer
activities of the Methodist denomina
tion in this section.
Miss Emma Kay, of Hartwell, Rev.
J. H. Barton, pastor of the Hartwell
Methodist church, and various com
mittees under them are busily en
gaged in making preparation for the
event.
In beautifying the grounds some
hundred crepe myrtle trees will be
set out.
The trees are being set out under
supervision of Mr. John Will Kay,
experienced nurseryman, of this city.
Under one tree the history of the
Hartwell Training School and Camp
ground sealed in a bottle will be
hidden away and the tree marked.
In future years the bottle will be dug
up, perhaps, attended by some cere
mony, and the old paper extracted
for the attending parties.
All the Hartwell Methodists and
other church people are urged to
take a few hours off Thursday, the
26th, and attend the exercises.
Attorney-General Napier will speak
at 11 o’clock.
OLD-TIMER FROM WEST
SPENDS ONE NIGHT HERE
“Three Fingered” Jack Cody, of
Vancouver, Wash., apparently 65
years of age, but hale and hearty,
stopped over in Hartwell for the
night last Wednesday.
He is en route from Vancouver to
Washington, D. C., and drives a grey
horse some 15 years old, hitched to
a specially built compartment for
traveling and sleeping.
Mr. Cody, who stated that he was
a first cousin to the late “Buffalo
Bill” Cody, is making the trip to win
a SIO,OOO wager, leaving his home
without funds. He must finish the
trip by April 2nd, but states he
hopes to see the nation’s capitol dome
by March 15th.
He left Vancouver January 2,
1924.
Painted on the outside of his
traveling rig were the names of all
the principal cities through which he
has passed. Papers showed the
authenticity of his statements.
“Three Fingered” Cody, with three
fingers on his gun hand, presented
a figure that brought back recol
lections of the “wild and woolly”
West. His stories were interesting
to hear, and his experiences through
the pioneer days doubtless made him
the strong bodied and clear minded
man he is to-day.
Arising early Thursday morning
his outfit left quietly on the last lap
of the transcontinental journey.

In Stock Judging
Hartwell High Agriculture boys
have again demonstrated their ability
to judge dairy cattle. The state
champions of last year were not per
mitted to take part in the judging
contest. So with an entire new team
consisting of Denver Cordell, Blant
Adams, Armond Hailey and Clarence
Holland, Prof. Hemrick entered the ■
judging arena and threw a scare in- !
to the hearts of every other school
that had aspirations for judging'
honors.
After the smoke of battle had |
cleared and it was known how each
contestant stood, Hartwell stood as
near the top as is possible without
having won another free trip to the
National Dairy Show. Second in
competition with twenty-one teams
is not quite good enough for Hart
well so Prof. Hemrick has already be
gun to canvas his classes for material
to bring the state championship back
to Hartwell in 1926.
Lavonia won first place this year.

Mr. T. O. Herndon, representing

ISSUE OF “HARTWELL MESSENGER”
FEB. 7, 1860, FOUND BY HOLCOMB
“The Hartwell Messenger” of Feb
ruary 7th, 1860, well preserved, and
containing 28 columns of exceeding
ly interesting matter, is a relic re
cently found by Mr. J. T. Holcomb,
of Hartwell 2, at the old James
Reid homeplace (Reed Creek,) sub
rented from Mr. J. A. Martin,
and which is now owned by Hon. J.
H. Skelton, of Hartwell.
The Messenger was edited and
owned by Edward Symmes, and was
a “Weekly Journal - Southern Rights
In Politics—Devoted to Politics,
News, Morals, Literature, Arts.
Science and Agriculture.” F. E.
Martin was publisher.
The issue on display, and perhaps
the only one in existence, was No.
27 of Volume 1. Just how long the
paper ran after this is not known.
The issue was printed on a fine
quality of paper, and the print is
just as clear as the type you now
read. All work was done, of course,
by hand, and an old Washington hand
press used for the printing, no doubt.
There are many interesting articles
and ads in the paper. We note that
the Andersonville Mills were ready to
grind. This once active little city on
the Tugalo river, the home of many
celebrated folks, has long since
crumbled into the dust.
W. S. Smith, of Anderson (S. C.)
Court House wanted 100 negro boys
and girls from 12 to 25 years of age.
Cotton was worth 8 l-2c to 10c
pound; coffee 13c; sugar 9c; butter
12 l-2c; flour $6.50; corn 75c bu.
Thomas W. Thomas was Judge of
the Superior Courts of the Northern
Circuit, John C. Burch was Solicitor
General.

F. B. Hodges was Worshipful Mas

The Standard Oil Co., through its
Georgia offices in Atlanta have pur
chased the Page Filling Station and
adjoining property, including resid
ence and garages, taking ch. rge on
Tuesday morning of this week.
Negotiations had been under way
for the purchase of this valuable site
for some months, the location being
opposite the new Hotel Hartwell and
considered one of the best for a
business of this kind in the city.
The filling station was erected two
years ago by Mr. Wm. C. Page,
prominent local business man, and
operated for a short time under his
direction. Later he leased the station
to his brother, Mr. Howard H. Page,
who has since operated the place,
using the Texas company products.
There will be no change, we are in
formed, other than the products
handled. Mr. Howard Page still
having full charge as formerly.
The Standard Oil Co. paid the
owner, Mr. W. C. Page, the sum of
$21,500.00 for the property, which
is one of the largest deals made here
within the past few months.
The price paid is indicative of the
faith this great corporation has in
Hartwell and surrounding territory.
They made the purchase after no
little consideration, deciding that
Hartwell and Hart county was in the
midst of one of the most progressive
sections of the entire State.
The Standard Oil Co. has evidently
seen a bright future for Hartwell,
having erected in 1921 at a cost of
SIO,OOO the first service station the
city had at that time.
The purchase this week gives them
two valuable locations, with an in
vestment in Hartwell of over $30,-
000.00.
Mr. E. E. Satterfield, of Hartwell,
who is general salesman in this sec
tion of the State for the company,
has been very instrumental in get
ting the Standard Oil Co’s interest#
more closely allied with Hartwell,
and is to be commended and con
gratulated for the splendid way in
which this has been accomplished.
The law firm of J. 11. & Emmett
Skelton handled the legal end of the
transaction.
o
Gasoline Now 26c
Gasoline took the third jump in
two weeks the other day, and now
the important fluid brings locally
the sum of 26c per gallon.
Tat’s not quite four gallons for
your dollar,- and while it seems high
the folks are riding right along, as
usual.
Increased demand and a weak sup
ply is blamed for the total increase
I of 6c per gallon.
William Morris operated “Morris’
Hotel.” His ad stated that charges
were quite moderate!. The hotel was
located on the southwest corner nf
the square.
The office of The Messenger was
upstairs “in the old court house.”
Edward Symmes, the editor and
owner of The Messenger, also owned
the Shoal Creek Factory.
War Waa Brewing
The Messenger said “The Aboli
■ tionists have got control of the Gov-
I eminent at last and the Southern
States may expect no leniency from
‘ them.”
The publisher begged the pardon
of the readers for printing on the
qualiy of paper used “in this week's
paper.” And it is remarkably pre
served. Shades of wood pulp! We
pay three times more for newsprint
now than they used to, —and if it
lasts a year we think that fine.
Hartwell was not without its ex
citement. There were horse racings
and cock fightings galore, back in
the 60’s.
They had wit back in those days,
and some of it was better than you
hear nowadays, too.
"How to make an ear-ring: Take
thirty grains of quinine.”
“The lash that man does not object
to having laid on his shoulder—the
eyelash of a pretty girl."
“ ‘Be content with what you have,’
said the rat to the trap when he saw
that he had left half of his tail in
it.”
“The difference between an oyster
and a chicken is that one is best just
out of a shell, and the other ain’t.”
The ads read like fairy tales to
1925 folks.
One of the merchants was telling
of his good liquors at 5c per drink
or 10c per glass.
Messrs. J. B. Benson, John Brown
and T. J. Cason were Trustees of
Hartwell Academy. Mr. J. L. Mize
was Principal.
Governor Brown was in the chair
at that time.
Lord Macanley, the historian, had
just died, The Messenger recorded.
A news item stated that the Gov
ernor of Nebraska had vetoed a bill
abolishing slavery in that state.
Mr. Holcomb, the owner of th®
old issue of The Messenger, has con
sented to place the paper on exhi
bition in the Hartwell High School
library. It will be put inside a glass
j case.
