TRADE IN HARTWELL---THE METROPOLIS OF N. E. GEORGIA ] 10-THE HARTWELL BUN.io= VOL 49 WALT M’LANE DIES WHEN SKULL FRACTURED WITH ROCK BY SON r J,.minis McLane Accidentally Kills Father— Died Within Few Hours A *ter Incident Tuesday Evening Mr Thomas Wafford (Walt) Mc- Lane 48 years of age, died Wednes day morning at his home in Mt. Heb ron section, following an operation to relieve a fracture at the base of his brain. * j The injury and consequent death wa s the result of his having been hit . the head with a large rock, said to have been thrown Tuesday night bv his son, Mr. Columbus McLane, about 20 years of age. Mr, McLane and his son were near the house occupied by John Isom, a negro, who lives only a short distance from Mr. McLane’s home. They were out in a field. , The incident occurred just after dark Tuesday night, physicians and surgeons being called immediately in an effort to save the elder McLane’s McLane, who is married and has one child, stated that the rock was intended for the negro Isom, who is a well-known character, and that he has been greatly shocked by the death of his father. The deceased was born in Hart county, a son of the late Hugh Mc- Lane; his aged mother survives him. Also his wife and the following chil dren: Misses Pearl, Nellie, Kate and Grace, Messrs. Dorsey, Frank and Columbus McLane. He is also survived by the follow ing brothers and sisters: Messrs. Earl F., and J. D. McLane, Mrs. Ella Bailey, Mrs. A. J. Jones, Mrs. J. G. Fleming, and Mrs. Sam Morris, of Hart county. The funeral services were conduct ed Wednesday afternoon by Rev. Thos. A. Thornton, followed by in terment al Mt. Hebron- Baptist church, t I the deceased be longed. Funeral director W. C. Page was in charge. No action had been taken by Hart county officials when The Sun went to press it being generally accepted that the killing was purely accidental. The incident is regrettable, indeed, and one that caused much interest and excitement in the county. o Haul Sunday Brings In Car And 65 Gallons We are told in the good Book not to work on Sunday. But since it is very evident that the bootlegger of the new era of modernism, cross word puzzles and radios, doesn’t take note, — Then, it becomes necessary for the vigilant officers to be on the job on the Sabbath just like any other day. And they evidently were doing just that last Sunday when a flivver of -he 1925 vintage and bearing a Carolina tag, passed. The thing looked suspicious. Seems nke those Hartwell and Hart county officers can see through tin. Living chase they shortly came the car, which had been hastily atoned near the negro church at Loldmme. Sixty-five gallons of liqu or were ound. This all happened last Sun aay morning at 6 o’clock.

HARTWELL, HART COUNTY, GA., FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1925 COOPERATIVE MARKETING BOOSTED Hon. C. O. Moier and Hon. J. E. Conwell Addressed Large Audience Monday Co-operative marketing received i perhaps the biggest boost here last Monday afternoon since the organi zation of the Georgia Cotton Grow ers’ Association. An audience that packed the Hart | county court house heard Hon. C. 10. Moser, who is secretary of the ! American Cotton Growers’ exchange, and Hon. J. E. Conwell, president of the Georgia Cotton Growers’ Co operative Association. Representative Gathering The gathering was said to have been one of the most representative ever assembled here there being lead ing farmers from every section of the county and from sections in the other counties adjoining Hart, bankers, merchants, and men from every line of businesss. Hon. J. H. Skelton introduced Mr. Moser, who told of the splendid ac complishment already credited to the Georgia Association as well as other similar organizations in the South. He stressed the need of co-opera -1 tive marketing, showing that every body besides the farmer set a price for their products, that he alone came to market and asked “What will you give me for what I have raised?” He told of the benefits that scienti fic distribution of the farm products would bring, instead of putting the whole crop on the market at once. “No marketing program, however,” said Mr. Moser, “will emancipate the farmer who fails to raise his supplies at home.” Mr. Moser’s speech was listened to with rapt attention, and expres ! sions from those attending showed i that his arguments had been driven home. President Conwell Talks Hon. J. E. Conwell, president of | the Georgia Cotton Growers’ Asso- I ciation, was then introduced by Hon. Thos. B. Thornton, of Hartwell, who is a director of tne association and president of the Georgia Seed Grow ers’ Association. Mr. Conwell told of the new In termediate Credit Bank now being organized, and which will be perhaps the biggest boon to the farmers of i Georgia that has come since the co operative marketing idea. Its worth has been readily seen by local bankers in Hartwell and they are supporting it in a most substan tial way. Mr. Conwell is a forceful speaker and through his straightforward busi ness methods has won the confidence of every one of the 40,000 farmers i who belong to the association and business men and bankers over the 1 entire State. 1 The meeting Monday was a suc cess from every viewpoint. MEN, AUTO AND LIQUOR CAUGHT Two men, one roadster and 30 gallons of liquor were caught here Monday,—but not until east Frank lin street witnessed a thrilling chase. Having been tipped off that a liquor car was coming over the Bank head Highway, traveling towards South Carolina, the officers stationed themselves several blocks off the square on the main highway Mond day morning. Seeing a car approaching that , fitted the description, Officer C. L. Kay threw out his hand and stopped I the outfit The two men saw that ; the end was near and one of them tried to give leg bail. A quick and exciting chase ended in disaster for the sprinting bootlegger, however, and both were soon lodged in the well-known Brown House, which has pretty iron bars over each window. They gave their names as C. H. Hall and A. E. Parham, of Kanna i polis, N. C. Tuesday they were re- I leased on bond. Two 15-gallon barrels of liquor resposed in the rear of the roadster. This was poured in the sewers shortly after the capture. Officer Kay had Mr. Willie Carter along, who assisted in the capture. ■ o KILLING IN FRANKLIN CO. Tom Arnold shot and killed Mace Dalrymple near Carnesville last Wed nesday morning, while the trial of Vickery for the killing of Evans was in process at the Franklin county ! court house nearby. The occurrence happened at or i near Mr. Dalrymple’s home. Mr. ' Dalrymple was talking to some near the home when Arnold approached. Dalrymple asked Arnold how he felt. He replied with the fatal shot ac compained by the remark, “You know what I told you,” or words to that ' affect - * „ Arnold, reports say, is mentally deficient. It is thought that Ihe had no grievance against Mr. Dalrymple. Mr. Dalrymple was one iof the best men in the county. He was about 55 years of age and leaves , a wife and about nine children. Arnold later surrendered to the j Franklin authorities. Goldmine To Vote For School Bonds Saturday The citizens of Goldmine section will vote Saturday of this week for bonds with which to erect and equip a modern building at this point, which is one of the most thickly set tled districts in the county. Bonds aggregating the sum of $6,500.00 will be issued if the elec tion Saturday carries, and from the interest manifested by the progres sive people of Goldmine and sur rounding territory it is very evident that opposition, if any K is very light. It is understood that the building will be erected and equipped ready for the fall session. Goldmine is a wide-awake com munity and we congratulate them upon this another forward step. o COURT TO BEGIN MONDAY HERE The regular February Term of Hart Superior Court will convene next Monday morning at 9 o’clock, Judge Walter L. Hodges presiding; Solicitor General Steve Skelton be ing on hand for the State. There are a large number of important cases on both civil and criminal dockets that will have the attention of the court.

MEET “Daddies’ Night,” as presented by the Hartwell Parent Teacher Asso ciation on Thursday evening of last week at the new auditorium, proved not only very interesting, but one of the most enjoyable events of the kind yet held here. The business session of the P. T. A., presided over by president Mrs. H. W. Bingham, was exceptional from a standpoint of the number of committees that reported and work accomplished. Candidly, we believe the P. T. A. will win the prize as the most active organization in the city. After the business program, Mrs. McAlpin Thornton took charge, pre senting the various speakers and numbers, as follows: Song—High School Glee Club. Piano Solo—Miss Mildred John son. Some things Hartwell High will have when the vision of the P. T. A. is realized. —Mrs. R. E. Matheson. Vocal Solo “Daddy’s Sweet heart,” Mrs Julia Kay. The Ideal School Board—Mr. W. E. Meredith. Quartette. The Ideal School Plant—Prof. J I. Allman. P. T. A. Song—“ Keep the Home i Fires Burning.” Patrons of the school making short i talks were Hon. Steve Skelton, Judge i Walter L. Hodges, Dr. George S. I Clark, a member of the Board, and I others. Delightful refreshments were ■ served, and the “Daddies” left hoping ; that the P. T. A. would invite them to another session soon. o CARTER DODGE AGENT HERE Mr. Carey C. Carter has taken the Dodge agency for Hartwell and Hart county.

This represents the second pay ment on cotton pooled with the As sociation, and is 4 cents per pound. Members received 15 cents per pound upon delivery, this making a total of 19 cents to date. The final payment will be made within the next three or four months. ■ it was stated. First checks in the present distri-1 bution were mailed out last Satur- | day from Atlanta, and officials stat ed that all would be mailed out as | fast as the clerical force could han dle the work. One fourth or more of Hart coun ty’s 1924 crop was pooled with the Association, and the organization is planning a membership campaign to further enlist cotton growers m the county. The total payment to all Georgia growers this week will go to $2,000,- 000.00. o Airplanes Will Aid In Georgia Fight On Weevil Georgia's fight agatnst the boll weevil during 1925 will be conducted with the aid of airplanes dusting calcium arsenate over cotton fields at the rate of from 300 to 1,000 acres per hour, it was announced Saturday by the Hull Daland Dust ers, Inc., which is planning to es tablish nine aviation bases in as many different parts of the coastal plain cotton belt. Two airplanes will be held in readiness at each base to fill con tracts with cotton planters for cot ton dusting. Eighteen planes will ' thus be provided and farmers de siring to use this most modern ' method of fighting the boll weevil will be able to secure such service at moderate cost. The Huff Daland Dusters, Inc., | operate in accordance with the re | suits obtained by Professor B. R. I Coad, of the United States depart ment of agriculture, who carried on extensive experiments in cotton dusting last year at Athens and i Cordele, using airplanes in his dem ; onstrations. Planes of a type ap proved for the purpose by the de partment of agriculture will be used, it is stated, and the cost to the farm er for five dusting will approximate $7 per acre. This will include the ' cost of calcium arsenate and expert entomological service. The present cost of dusting from the ground is approximately $7.15 per acre for five dustings, it is stated. Acccording to George Post, head of the enterprise, surety bonds will be furnished for faithful perform ance of contracts and aerial photo graphs will be taken of the territory surrounding each base so that pilots may be easily informed as to the fields to be dusted. Farmers furnishing their own calcium arsenate will receive a price adjustment, Mr. Post an nounces, although such arsenate must measure up to the standards fixed by the state entomologist, Ira Williams. Location of the various aviation bases to be established throughout the coastal plain cotton belt will be announced shortly, on completion of the survey now being conducted. VICKERY GETS 12 TO 15 YEARS IN FRANKLIN FOR KILLING EVANS Mr. James C. Vickery, of Frank lin county, last week was given a 12- 15 year sentence following his trial for manslaughter in the killing of Jim Evans, Hart county farmer, recently. The case attracted much attention and Carnesville was the center of activity for several days during the trial. Vickery was represented by Judge Little, Col. Goode and Hons. J. H. and Emmett Skelton, of Hartwell. Solicitor-General Steve Skelton was assisted by Col. B. B. Zellars, of Hartwell. WINNER COTfON~GUESS ING CONTEST LAST YEAR TO BE GIVEN OUT SOON The last report by Gin Agent W. J. O’Barr for Hart county will be made after March Ist, and the win ner of a year’s subscription to The Sun will be announced. In the meantime, if you want to estimate the 1925 crop we will be glad to put your figures, name and uddrees on file. The 1924 crop was heavier than most "gueasera” figured. University of Georgia Dramatic Club Comnig To Hartwell —Over Forty Young Men and Women Have Fourteen In Orchestra The University of Georgia Drama tic Club, composed of forty young men and women, and an orchestra of fourteen pieces, will present their play "Once In a Blue Moon” ut Hartwell on next Tuesday night, February 24th. The show will begin promptly at 8 o’clock in the auditorium. Biggest of the Year That the University Dramatic Club will come to Hartwell is an announce ment that will very likely fill the new auditorium to capacity. The organi zation is presenting the play only in the larger cities, but on account of the large stage here and the fact that Hartwell is above the average in attendance on occasions of this kind, they decided to come here. "Once In a Blue Moon” is said to be one of the biggest stage successes ever produced. Its appearance here will be awaited with interest. The University is said to have some of the best dramatic talent to be found in any of the Southern insti stution. Proceeds of the play are used in defraying the expenses of some boy or girl to the University.

Dooley, one? of Sardis’ old-school citizens, and one of the county’s oldest and best known tnen, together with his good wife, killed on last Thursday a hog weigh ing 660 pounds. The hog was a black Poland China thoroughbred, as evidenced by its size, and those who witnessed the dressing of the animal said it was one sight to behold. Hart county has produced some mammoth specimens of swine within the past few years, and it has been proven that they can grow as well and as large here as anywhere in the country. We’re contemplating a visit down to both see and sample some of that Poland China at Mr. and Mrs. Dooley’s right soon. AN OLD RECEIPT Mr. Asa E. Brown showed us last I Saturday a subscription receipt for The Sun issued November 4, 1902, which looked as if it had just been - torn out of the book. The payment ’ put him up to September Ist, 1903, and was signed by Mr. Jas. T. Magill, who can still fill out one at The Sun office for anybody that happens to come along. Incidentally, Mr. Brown doesn’t get any more receipts from The Sun, although he reads the paper every week. Several years ago dur ing a contest he became a life sub scriber, —and that’s why his name, never gets on our "Honor Roll.” Keep all your receipts of every kind. That’s good business. U. D. C. Chapter Gets Flowers United States Senator Win. J. Harris has notified the Hartwelf Chapter United Daughters of the Confederacy that a supply of various shrubs would be sent them by the Director of the U. S. Botanic Garden for use in the grounds around the beautiful memorial club house they are to erect. Members of the organization are gratified over the generosity of Mr. Harris and those in charge of the Botanic garden, and this assures al ready an attractive plot. A spacious and very desirable lot has been owned by the U. D. C. on east Howell street for several years. It is hoped that soon they will have sufficient funds in hand to begin the erection of this magnificent building. They have quite a large sum already paid in. o How silly to spend millions to make prison life attractive and then more millions te keep folks out.—Duluth HeraliL o If Uncle Sam is a Shylock, as so many foreigners call him, they must be glafi to observe that he is a most lenient one.—Chicago NO. 29
