JVeui Light on Newton’s
Discovery of Gravity
Ixaak Walton, the cQmpleat angler,
«hould not be confused with Sir Isaac
Newton, the discoverer of the law of
gravity. Perhaps this little story,
which has never been told on them
before, will keep them separate in the
mind of the student.
Those two gentlemen were sitting
on a river bank one day—lznak fish
ing and Sir Isaac watching him. Sud
denly an apple fell from an overhang
ing tree upon the head of the latter,
evoking a sound which posterity is
aware was far from hollow. After
some language which virtually spoiled
the fishing, Newton remarked to his
companion:
“It has just struck me that It Is
very curious that apples do not fall
upward. Why do you suppose that is
not so?"
“For the same reason," laughed
Walton raucously, “that the fish bites
the worm and the worm doesn’t bite
the fish.’’
Thus nt one and the same time New
ton demonstrated becoming gravity
and Walton unseemly levity.—”F. D„"

History Told by Coins
Roman coins Illustrate the religion,
the architecture, the games and sports,
historic events and, in a striking man
ner, the advent of Christianity. The
early Constantine coins disclose the
classic heathen gods; after his con
version the coins bear the symbol of
the cross.
The diversity of this coin Informa
tion was enhanced by the practice of
eending the mint master along with
Homan armies. Soldiers were paid In
the Held with money minted In the
field, often from locally mined metals.
Sn England's civil war Charles I, dur
ing his refuge in castles and forts,
struck off coins to pay his troops and
defray his personal expenses. These
.aare the "siege-pieces" referred to by
collectors of English coins.
The gum from the roots of the
Kauri pine of New Zealand is dug
by Dalmatians from the ground in
the same way as placer gold is
gleaned from gravel pits.
So great has been Irish immigra
tion into Scotland of recent years
that Scottish publications are be
ginning to print articles about “The
Irish Menace.’’

Yates Hardware &
Furniture Co.
Among the large stores of Hart
well and well toward the top of the
list is the Yates Hardware & Furni
ture Co., who occupy a large store
room on Depot street, and who carry
a stock that will supply every need
in both hardware and furniture for
every room in the modern home.
Established in 1899 by the late
Mr. W. Z. Yates, the firm was taken
over at his death in 192.3 by Mr.
Herman L. Yates, the progressive
son of the founder, who is “carrying
on” in a most successful and progres
sive way the large business that fell
on his shoulders.
Having had a number of years’
experience in the business, being a
young man of splendid habits and
commanding the respect of all our
people, Mr. Yates has not only taken
up the reins, but is steadily adding to
the stock and volume of trade the
Yates store enjoys.
Mr. Yates is a member of the
Hartwell Baptist church, a Kiwainan,
Mason, and otherwise identified with
the interests of town and county.
The well-known Yates store carries
everything, as stated above, needed
in hardware from the smallest item
to the largest, and they can supply
your every want in furniture.
A visit to their large store on
Depot street will be very profitable i
to the thrifty shopper at any season I
of the year.
Assisting Mr. Yates in the sales
are Mr. Sid Johnson, Mr. Sylvester '
Sokol and Mr. Arad Crook.
All Accounted For
The clergyman’s daughter was a
good, sweet soul. She was so Inter
ested In all the parishioners and loved
to know that they were comfortable
and had all they wanted. More than
one ill-natured person had been heard
to call it nosiness, but no matter.
One morning she met little Tommy
Gunter on his way home with a basket
of groceries.
“Well, Tommy,” she said, stopping
and smiling at the little fellow, "and
how are you all getting on?”
“Nicely, thank you. miss,” answered
Tommy, touching his cap respectfully,
“mother, she’s got rheumatism. I’ve
got a boil and father’s got a in
jail.”—London Tit-Bits.

Births In Georgia
Nearly Double
Deaths
If correctly counted, there were
37,966 deaths in Georgia last year,—
and to offset this, there were 65,200
births, which gives the “Empire
State” a margin of 27,234 for the
year.
Two years ago, in 1923, there
were 68,200 births and 37,702 deaths.
Thus, we were short in births and
slightly ahead in deaths.
All these figures come from the
report as made public a few days
since by Dr. W. A. Davis, director
of the Bureau of Vital Statistics of
th° State Board of Health.
In 1919, the first year of opera
tion of the bureau, there were only
39,000 births and 21,640 depths.
Since the bureau was organized,
there have been 11,461 deaths in
Georgia from typhoid fever, measles,
whooping cough, diphtheria, small
pox and scarlet fever, all classed as
preventable diseases, according to
the report. Many of these deaths
might have been prevented by state
and county officials w-ho have the
administration of public funds, the
report says.
Births in 1919 were 39,000; in

TWO STORES
Nearly twenty-one years ago we opened a very small business in Hart
well. We went in business with a determination to make the business grow,
it has always been our great desire from the beginning and up to this good
day to give the people a square deal.
We operate our business on a very small margin of profit. We have
tried hard at all times to buy goods to sell at a price that we could sell to the
people at a price that would save them something and give full satisfaction.
We carry well assorted stocks of merchandise such as, China, Crock
ery, Glass Ware, Tin, Enamel and Aluminum Ware, Lamp, Stationery, Toi
let Articles, Combs, Brushes, Toys and fancy goods of all kind, Hosiery, Un
derwear, Table Cultery, Jewelry, Suit Cases, Overalls and Work Shirts, Good
line Dry Goods, all at the right price.
You will always find a hearty welcome awaiting you at our stores. We
are doing all we can to make Hartwell and Hart County grow, and we ex
tend to every one to visit the best town in Georgia which is HARTWELL.

T. H. JOHNSON, Propr. TWO STORES HARTWELL, GA.
Where your Dollar does its duty.
I 1920, 64,000; in 1921, 74,100, and
in 1922, 70,500. The high year in
birth registration, according to the
report, was in 1921, while the year
1923 showed a decrease of almost
6,000 and 1924 a further decrease of
over 3,000.
34,963 Death, in 1922
For 1922 there were 34,953 deaths;
1921, 33,170; 1920, 35,702, and in
1919, 21,640, according to the re
port.
“It is probable that not over 65
per cent of tie deaths were regis
tered during the first year of or
ganization in 1919, and in 1920 more
than 4,000 deaths in excess of the
usual number were added to the rec
ords by the influenza epidemic,”
says the report.
“Os the 37,966 deaths in Georgia
in 1924, 657 were ascribed to typhoid
and 10 to paratyphoid fever. There
were 547 deaths ascribed directly to
measles, not including those deaths
due to complications, such as bron
cho-pneumonia, etc., on which cer
tificates the term ‘measles’ did not
appear.
“Malaria was given as the cause of
430 deaths, whooping cough 423,
with 220 deaths ascribed to diphthe
ria, 25 to smallpox and 19 to scarlet
fever, a total of 2,331 from these
seven diseases.
“Since January 1, 1919, when the
bureau was created, these seven dis
eases have killed 11,461 persons in
Georgia. Among these victims 6,008
were white people, and 5,448 ne-
groes, and those figures include only
those deaths ascribed directly to
those diseases, and not those which
occurred months after the primary
attack and were ascribed to the aft
ermath.”
Concerning the prevention of
measles, whooping cough, diphthe
ria, typhoid fever, and other dis
eases which have taken so heavy a
toll in the number of lives in Geor
gia, the report of Dr. Davis says:
Called Reflection on State
“There may be some question as
to the prevention of measles, scarlet
fever and whooping cough, but the
8,854 deaths due to typhoid fever
malaria, smallpox and diphtheria is
a sad commentary on the intelli
gence of the law-making bodies of
the state, counties and cities of
Georgia, who also hold the purse
strings of the funds raised by taxes
from the citizens of this state. The
first duty of a statesman is the pro
tection of the public health.
“The increase or decrease of five
or ten deaths in a single year in the
state means nothing, but the grad
ual decrease from year to year,
though it be small, may be taken
as an index of better conditions.
“During the last four years the
mortality from diphtheria has
dropped from 415 in 1921 to 220 in
1924, a saving of 440 children dur
ing the three years, as shown by
the former rate. The record so?
1921 was 415 deaths with 411 in
1922 and 274 in 1923, and only 220
in 1924. If this reduced figure had
obtained during the last six years,
529 children would not now be re
corded as dead from diphtheria.
“The mortality from malaria also
has dropped from 559 deaths in
1920 to 430 in 1924. The reduction,
although not as marked or as regu- »
lar as in diphtheria, is sufficient to T
indicate the results of the efforts of
those engaged in that line of public
work. The year 1922 showed 585
deaths with a reduction to 489 in
1923 and a further reduction in
1924 to 430 deaths.”
