Own* and Operate* Mill Here and
Hartwell Mill No. 2 In Toccoa
Emplwy Many People
The largest manufacturing plant in
Hartwell is the Hartwell Mills, hav
ing a large payroll and turning out a
large quantity of cloth every day.
The Hartwell Mills, with head
quarters in Hartwell, also owns and
operates at Toccoa, Ga., what is
known as Hartwell Mills No. 2, —the
latter having been purchased by the
local company about two years ago.
Hartwell points with pride to the
Hartwell Mills and justly so, for the
institution is one that day in and day
out contributes in a large way toward
the growth and progress of the town
and county. They are the largest
taxpayers in the entire county.
The mill villages both in Hartwell
and at Toccoa exemplify the type of
men who control the enterprise,—
clean, wholesome and with an un
usual citizenry, having electric lights,
water and sewerage, church, school,
and other conveniences.
The Hartwell Mills, Nos. 1 and 2
manufacture a large quantity of
sheeting and bag goods, also two
special brands, "Hartwell LL” and
"Hartwell WW,” for which there is
always a steady demand.
The official personnel of the cor
poration is composed of Mr. Jno. H.
Cheatham, President and Treasurer,
of Griffin, Ga., formerly of Hartwell,
and who heads a number of the
South’s leading mills; Mr. Samuel W.
Thornton, Vice President and Sec
retary, of Hartwell, who is in active
charge of the mills; the directors are
J. H. Cheatham, S. W. Thornton, A.
N. Alford, R. E. Matheson, C. W.
Rice, I. J. Phillips, Sr., and B. E.
Geer, the latter a leading mill man
of South Carolina.
Mr. H. O. Rogers is Superintend
ent of the Hartwell Mills No. 1, and
Mr. J. B. Bailey is Superintendent of
the No. 2 mill at Toccoa.
The mills have 17,232 spindles and
500 looms, all the machinery being
of the most modern type.
With their large payroll and the
interest manifested in every progres
sive move by the officials, The Hart
well Mills truly constitute one of this
section’s greatest assets.

Plant Relations
If we throw a simple glance on
plants, we shall perceive that ttiey
have relations to the elements which
promote their growth; that they have
relations to each other, from the
groups which they contribute to form;
that they have relations to the ani
mals which derive nourishment from
them; and, finally, to man, who la the
center Cf all the works of creation. To
these relations I give tha name of har
monies.—Bernardln de Saint-Pierre.

REV. JAMES BRADLEY
Pastor of the Hartwell Presby
terian church.
You Tell Him!
Johnson had obtained work in a rail
way yard and was told to mark some
trucks.
‘‘Here’s a pliece of chalk,” said the
foreman. ‘‘Mark each of ’em eleven.”
A little later the foreman came
around again to see how the new hand
had been getting on.. He found him
sitting on a bucket regarding a truck
thoughtfully. Marked upon It was a
large 1.
‘‘What does thia mean?” asked the
foreman. ‘‘Only one truck done, and
the number wrong at that. I said
eleven, not one.”
“I know,” said Johnaon, ‘‘but I
couldn’t think on which side of the
■l’ the other T’ goeal”
How to Win a Man
“A man longs for your love until
you have given it to him —after that
not only does he cease to desire your
love, but frequently ceases to love you
also. Moral —Never show him that
you love him —he’ll be much happier
If you don’t.”
‘‘A man can be clumsy, stupid, ugiy
and base, and yet have the eyes of a
beautiful woman follow him adoringly
about a room full of attractive people.
Heaven knows what the explanation
la!”
"No wlfa should try to keep tier hus

Mistaken Atmosphere
The pastor had been holding revival
services for some time. Much interest
had been taken In them, but on this
particular e\ eniag the meeting had
been more than usually interesting.
As the service drew to a close the
pastor said In his concluding remarks,
"What a heavenly atmosphere there Is
here this evening.” Happening to
glance, as he said It, at the pew where
his wife and sister sat, he saw a broad
sinlle overspread their faces.
When the congregation had gone, he
said to them, “What made you girls
smile so when I was speaking?”
"Oh,” said his wife, “we couldn’t
help it. Jack Smith (a noted village
character) had been out hunting
skunks and he came into the meeting
without changing his clothes and sat
down right behind us, and when you
spoke of the heavenly atmosphere It
was too much.” —Harding Herald.
Settled Manhattan Island
In the first ship sent to the present
territory of the United States by the
Dutch W’est Indies company, the New
Netherland, which landed In the Hud
son river in 1023, Walloons, led by
Jesse de Forest, were passengers. The
eight families left on Manhattan,
which was named "New Avessses,”
constituted the first settlement of that
now fatuous and valuable island and
the first homemakers. In fact, in the
Middle Atlantic states.
’76 Issue Sun Says Cotton and Eggs Both
Sold For 10c; Some 48-Year-Old Rays
Big Snake F-/nd In Dining Room
of Hartwell Home New Jail
Boosted In ’76 For County
“Butter and eggs very scarce,”
said The Sun of August 23, 1876,
—4B years ago.
Glancing back through the old
file copies we find many interesting
incidents, for instance, school start
ed Monday morning of that week,
and there were “about fifty schol
ars.”
Cotton was bringing from 8 to 10
cents; eggs 10 cents, flour $7-50.
There was a discussion as to wheth
er a second story would be added
to the old wooden jail, or a new one
built. A new one was built some years
later, which is now being used by
Sheriff Brown and his guests.
They sold liquor in Hartwell then
and didn’t make any bones about it.
Now it’s sold, but not so openly.
“There have been some changes in
Pinkeyville,” as our friend, Fred P.
Linder, says. There’s still room for
more improvement, too.
Mrs. W. Y. Holland had discovered
a snake coiled up in the dining room.
Dr. Eberhart was called in and killed
the varmint, which was two feet in
length, a moccasin.
“Money matters are tight, but
prospects for a fall trade are aus
picious,” said The Sun rays.
Mr. J. C. Walters, of Shoal Creek
section, killed a rattlesnake four feet
and four inches long, with 13 rat
tlers and a button.
There were 2,264 miles of railroad
in the State of Georgia in 1875. The
capital stock of the roads totaled
$47,301,608.

Business Now Made of
Producing Spider Silk
Spider farming is one of the little
known Industries of modern times
The end in view is not the Intensive
fighting of the fly peril, but the produc
tion of spider silk, than which there
is nothing better for the cross lines of
surveying and other instruments.
Supplies in vastly larger quantities
are needed for the manufacture of spi
der-silk stockings, and It is to meet this
demand that special spider farms have
been started from time to time, says
Tit Bits.
It la no easy matter to keep and
feed the spiders, to prevent them from
engaging in mortal combat, and to
collect their silk in suitable form. The
process of "silking" the spider amounts
to playing catchball, with the spider as
ball. Tn its passage through the air
the spider instinctively pays out silk,
and It can be Induced to part with a
hundred yards or more during a suc
cession of such flights.
Hartwell, Georgia, Offers Exceptional Inducements
To New Industries
Hartwell, in the heart of the famed Piedmont Belt offers advan
tages to new industries not usually found in towns of its size.
It is the metropolis of northeast Georgia with a soil adapted to
raising tobacco, corn, hay, peanuts and any crop of vegetables
or fruit. A garden can be grown almost any month in the year.
Free Factory Sites are Furnished to
New Industries which are Exempt
from Taxation for 5 to 10 Years.
Hartwell is exceptionally free from labor disturbances and has
now operating a Cotton Mill of 8,000 spindles, Cotton Seed Oil
Mill, Flour Mill and Ice Factory.
Hartwell wants any worthy industry looking for a new location,
and will give financial support as well as full civic co-operation.
Hartwell’s gates swing wide to outside capital and it will be
profitable for new industries to

familiar ad back in those days. The
Bensons have been a great factor
in the life and growth of Hartwell
and Hart county all these years.
The Sun urged the candidates to
use its columns to tell the voters
how they stood on various matters.
“Parsimonious men don’t make good
officers,” said The Sun in 1876.
Rev. John B. Morton was the Pres
byterian pastor; Rev. H. M. Bartow,
the Baptist pastor, and Rev. W. T.
Norman, Methodist pastor 48 years
ago.
Mrs. Malinda Wright, about 100
years of age, died that week near
Hartwell. She was the widow of a
soldier in the war of 1812, and was
drawing a pension from the govern
ment.
“Hartwell has eleven piano fortes
and a thousand cats,” said The Sun
rays.
Plans were on foot to repair the
Methodist and Baptist churches; the
city council was going to help with
the finances. Their help would be
appreciated just as much now as in
1976, and they might add in the
Presbyterians.
The Sun was being printed then
in the Masonic building, which stood
somewhere in the neighborhood of
Alford’s store on the square.
} “Who will be the first man to
bring in a bale of cotton?”
“Watermelons are growing.”
“Hot, hotter, hottest.”
“The old folks say plant turnip
seed on the dark of the moon.”
“An Ohio judge has written a book
to show that crime originates in par
ental neglect.
The Sun rays were interesting
back then. We’ll give you some
more extracts from these old pa
pers soon.

He is a member of the Hart County-
Board of Education, a progressive

For Umbrella Protection
A well-known business man had a
bad habit of losing umbrellas, and as
they were usually expensive ones, he
bit upon the happy idea of having his
telephone number engraved on the
handle. Since then he lost his um
brella half a dozen times, but owing
to the telephone number he has al
ways recovered It. The finder does not
have to send It back ; he rings up the
number and the owner gladly calls for
It. If the finder Is dishonest he will
not feel comfortable with that tell-tale
number, and if he himaelf loses It, as
ten to one he will, a more honest per
son will eventually Inform the original
owner. The latter, of course, will know
nothing of the umbrella's adventureß.
If only the umbrella could talk!
General Patrick says more air
craft are needed to save the country.
Still, some people think it can be
saved by hot air.—San Antonio Ex

Giants Credited With
Building of Causeway
The Giants’ causeway is a group of
basaltic rocks on the north coast of
Antrim, Ireland. This promontory,
which Is a portion of the basaltic for
mations found In the country of An
trim and near Londonderry, projects
Into the North channel. It is called
Giants’ causeway from the legend that
it was the beginning of a road which
the giants began to build across the
channel to Scotland. In past geological
periods the basaltic rock seems to
have been forced upward. After long
periods of erosion a long line of per
pendicular cliffs 500 feet high is left.
For a distance of about 500 or 600 feet
are many thousands of vertical col
umns. Most of them are six-sided, al
though some of them have five, seven,
eight and even nine regularly formed
sides. In diameter they range from 20
to 30 Inches. The tops of these pillars
form an uneven pavement, hence the
I name "causeway.” Strictly speaking,
I the Giants’ causeway Is formed of
j three causeways, the Little, Honey-
I comb and Grand causeways.—Path

Orthodoxy
The orthodox Jew is bigoted and
austere. He is a glutton for pain and
sorrow. He likes to brood and pity
himself. He has no Instinct for the
joy of living and disapproves of such
a trait in others.
But he does not take life indifferent
ly; neither Is he bumptious about it.
He has strength of character and is
able to thrive In the face of adversity.
He believes in work. He Is seldom a
drunkard and eats with prudence, and
clean food. He is a man of spiritual
ideals and a moral man. He loves law
and order and seldom gets Into the
criminal . class. —Sonya Levien, in
Hearst’s International.
