C., March 4. — Calvin Coolidge was inaugurated /• President of the United States to day, and is the thirtieth since the nation came into existence. The oath of office was administer ed with the usual ceremonies, wit nessed by thousands that represented every section of the nation. Exactly one hundred years ago to day, John Quincy Adams, another president from Massachussetts, was inaugurated. During the past nineteen months President Coolidge has been engaged c primarily in fulfilling a promise made to the American people in his first presidential statement to carry out the policies of the late President Warren G. Harding. Charles G. Dawes, of Chicago, is Mr. Coolidge’s vice president. Quietly, in away which his friends say is characteristic, Mr. Coolidge has charted the waters through which during the next four years he proposes to steer the ship of state. This has meant hard work and a difficult change from his compara tively quiet life as vice president. His two years as governor of Massachu setts stood him in good stead, and he constantly has put into use the ex perience gained in the state house at Boston. * ***»*•»»* *-Coolidge in Politics * Since Councilman of t * Northampton in '99 * * * * President of the United * * States 1923 * * Vice president of the United * * States, 1921-1923. * * Governor of Massachusetts, * * 1919-1920. * * ’ Lieutenant-governor of Massa- * * chusetts, 1916-1918. * President of the state senate, * * 1914-1915. • * State senator, 1912-1915. * Mayor of Northampton, 1910- * *. * 1911. * * State representative, 1907- * * 1908. * ?

Annual Basketball Tournament Begins On 12th HARTWELL TO HAVE BIG SIX-DAY CHAUTAUQUA IN JUNE OVER 200 PLAYERS WILL BE IN GAMES DURING THE BIG EVENT Practically Every School In Hart County Will Be Represented By GEO. S. CLARK, JR. Everything is in readiness for the opening of Hart County’s third an nual basketball Tournament, which will begin Thursday afternoon of next week and end Monday night with the deciding of the county’s champions. The Tournament this year will be the greatest of its kind to have ever been held in Hartwell, more than thirty teams participating in the an nual affair. Never has there been anything like it in this neck of the woods. The first tournament was held in 1923 and was won by Nuberg who downed Reed Creek in the last game, 23-15. Last year’s tourney brought more teams here for the contest. This time Reed Creek nosed out Eagle Grove for the championship. Hostilities will begin Thursday afternoon at four o’clock, when the Grammar school teams of Union Hill and Viola meet in the first game of the tournament. This is the girls’ game. The Grammar school boys’ games will get under way at seven o’clock, Cross Roads and Duncan playing at this time. Not until Friday morning do the high school quintets begin their eli mination process. Shortly after breakfast—nine o’clock to bq exact — the Duncan and Bowersville girls will engage themselves in a scrappy little encounter. Interest will be at a high pitch by eleven o’clock when Gold mine and Sardis boys get down to real business and play their game. Many Favorites Not even the best critics in Hart county have any idea what-so-ever as to just which quintet will be crowned as “Hart’s Champions”—for no one knows, the teams are so evenly matched. Among the high school boys’ teams, there are three that are as evenly matched as anything we know. These three teams —which might be properly called the “Great Trium virate”—are none other than: Nu berg, Sardis, and Reed Creek. One team is just as liable to win the Tournament as another for all three have strong aggregations. In speaking of the girls, we think that Coach Brown’s Nuberg outfit has possibly a greater chance at winning their part in the tourney, and will doubtless come away with their colors flying. Because of the great number of games to be played—thirty-five— it was necessary to obtain the ser vices of three referees. J. C. Massey, Kyle Massey, and Coach Harvill, are the three who will officiate in the Tournament. The first two mentioned are well known as referees, having handled the whistle in some of the county games on the local floor. Coach Harvill, of Lavonia, is the other official and is well suited for the position. We have arranged the schedule of i games in the order in which they ap i pear. They are as follows: Thursday Game 1. 4:00 P. M. Union Hill vs. Viola—Girls, Grammar school. Game 2. 5:00 P. M. Goldmine vs. Nuberg—Girls, Grammar school. Game 3. 6:00 P. M.

Cokesbury HARTWELL, HART COUNTY, GA., FRIDAY, MARCH 6,1925 NEW LOAN PLAN IS GREAT HELP RIGHT NOW Applications for loans are already being received here by local repre sentatives of Agricultural Credit Corporation.

A low rate of interest is charged. o Fertilizer Begins To Arrive Here Several carloads of fertilizer have been received in Hartwell within the past few days, and the dealers re port quick sales. Hartwell is perhaps the first place in this section to receive fertilizers since the new plan has been put into effect by the big companies. It is expected that shipments will begin to arrive here from now every day, Supt. Jones of the Hart well Railway, reporting several car loads first of the week. NEW TELEPHONE DIRECTORY A new telephone directory ' for Hartwell and Hart county is in pre paration for the press, and when is sued will be one of the largest and most interesting to yet reach the hands of local telephone users.

Impressive to High Degree Taken during actual battles, scene after scene grips and entrails the spectator until he feels that he is actually there in the midst of the din and confusion, the dead and wound ed. Sensibilities are not spared, the episodes are revealed with a grim brutality that dwarfs the efforts of dramatic art and studio photography. Catigny, Chauteau - Thierry, St. Mihiel and Argonne forest -those memorable scenes of the doughboys’ hardships and his glory live again, and the whole being recoils from the horror of it all. There could be no more tremendous appeal for peace, no more impelling urge to wipe out war forever than this tense and bloody spectacle. It is not all stark horror, however. The irrepressible good humor of American youth pervades and dis perses. the darkness again and again and saves many a moment ere it reaches the breaking point. One has a better understanding of American spirit and manhood for having seen it, and a greater loathing of war. "Powder River” will be shown at The Star Theatre next Tuesday and Wednesday, March 10-11, under auspices of the Hart County Post No. 109 American Legion. Matinees both days at 2:30. Night 7:30. CHAS.

WHITE & BROWN” CHAUTAU QUA COMING FROM KANSAS CITY MO.—LARGE NUMBER GUARANTORS ON LIST Hartwell’s annual Chautauqua will be held sometime during the month of June, it has been announced, and with fifty-one of the city’s boosters behind the project it bids fair to be one of the most successful ever held here, —and Hartwell has had about fifteen Chautauqua programs during the years past. A representative of the White & Brown Chautauqua Co., of Kansas City, Mo., Miss Katherine Ryan, has been in Hartwell the past week se curing guarantors for the week’s en tertainment. The White & Brown Chautauqua Co., while new to this section, has been operating for more than 25 years, and will bring to Hartwell perhaps something new in the Chau tauqua line. Other Georgia cities to have the same Chautauqua this summer nro Madison, Covington, Gainesville, Toccoa, Decatur, Washington, Cedar town and others. This summer’s Chautauqua will last for six whole days and nights, an increase of one day over the past few years’ programs. The opening of the program, Miss Ryan stated, will very likely be a farce comedy, “The Nervous Wreck,”’ that very recently completed a big run on Broadway; there will be a harp ensemble, composed of seven or eight harps, with flutes and a soprano soloist, this number being a rare treat for those who love music and well worth the price of a season ticket. There will be a girl’s concert— beautiful girls, all artists; Kings berg, who will expose the tricks in spiritualism and magic; a male quar tet, an instrumental quintet, a num ber of fine speakers and lecturers on some of the important questions of the day, and many other entertaining and instructive numbers. However, the foregoing is but a tentative outline of some of the fine things that muy be expected, accord ing to Miss Ryan, who stated that of ten a great many of the best attrac tions are booked after programs are announced. Following is a list of the 51 citi zens who will back the 1925 Chau tauqua: The Hartwell Sun, B. B. Zellars, R. M. Hailey, J. E. Cobb, A. S. Skelton, J. A. W. Brown, W. E. McCurry, R. E. Cox, M. M.

The concentration of human effort, the elimination of waste, the acquire ment of personal independence and the consequent development of a feeling of civic responsibility, and a need for scientific training in home making form the basis upon which the future ideals of the common wealth rests, and it is along these lines that the Girls’ Club Department of the State College of Agriculture is stressing training. As an economic factor in the de velopment of the state, there is no greater movement than girls’ club work, declares Miss Lois Dowdle, State Agent. From the organiza tion of two counties in 1911, there has come the development of such work in more than seventy counties in Georgia at the present time. Dur ing this period the work has definite ly influenced the lives of more than 84,000 girls who have created wealth to the value of $2,746,000. Girls’ Club work is based on a progressive four-year program. Pro motion cards are issued at the close of each year and upon the satis factory completion of the four-year program, the girls receive certifi cates of award issued by the College of Agriculture.
