SOME COMMENTS
ON THE SUN’S
BIG EDITION
Hartwell and it. Sun
(Atlanta Journal)
Our heartiest congratulations to
The Hartwell Sun on its “National
Publicity” edition! During the near
ly fifty years of its enterpriseful
history that popular newspaper has
done nothing, we dare say, to merit
warmer praise or to serve more ef
fectively the interests of the great
region to whose upbuilding it is de
voted.
Long famed for their resources
of nature and for the sturdy charac
ter and cordial spirit of their people,
: Hartwell and Hart county have found
I striking utterance through this
special edition of The Sun. It tells
the world of their material wealth,
their agricultural, industrial, and
1 commercial advantages, their busi
j ness achievements and opportunities,
! and of the nobler riches of their
| schools and churches and homes.
I Especially pleasing to readers near
I and far will be this editorial mes
-1 sage:
I “To those in many distant states
' who may read a copy of this edition,
we desire to assure you of the hos
pitality and cordiality of our people,
the soundness of our resources, the
wonderful extent of our possibilities
of development. We don’t offer a
mirage of immediate wealth. We
don’t promise a competency to those
who won’t earn it. We don’t offer
any inducements to any but those
who have the character and the will
ingness to become good citizens. We
do promise to those who come, a
cordial reception and a generous will
ingness to do all that we can to make
,it attractive enough to induce you to
1 come here and live. We are a home
loving people, we have the highest
ideals and the most generous con
ception of the beauty of the fireside
and the sanctity of the home, whether
it be one of the many mansions that
surrounds us or in the humble home
that graces the farm. It’s all the
same, the spirit, and it is the making
of any community.”
True; and in this spirit Hartwell
and its “Sun” are certain to prosper.
The National Publicity Edition of
The Hartwell Sun which came to us
this week 64 pages strong, is a trib
ute to the progressive spirit of Hart
j well merchants, and shows beyond
any question that a good newspaper
man and a good town are hooked up
in Editors Morris and Hartwell. It is
doubtful if there is another town in
the state the size of Hartwell that
could put over such an edition with
the undivided and liberal local sup
port accorded then. And there are
lots of good towns in Georgia. Along
with the editor, the mechanical
force deserve hearty praise. It is an
edition of which every department of
The Sun force may well feel proud.
, —Elberton Star.
Our neighbor, The Hartwell Sun,
I was great last Friday. The mam
moth National Publicity Edition was
issued that day and it is a credit to
bigger cities than Hartwell. There
are 64 pages with attractive illustra
tions of local interest and good read
ing matter. This is a wonderful pa
per and Messrs. Leon and Louie Mor
ris are to be congratulated, and the
citizens of Hart county should feel
| proud. Tugalo Tribune, West
minister, S. C.
The Hartwell Sun came to us last
week with 64 pages packed to the
brim with good reading matter and
page after page of good looking ad
| vertisements. When it comes to get
ting out a booster edition you have
to hand it to Morris.—Oconee Enter
prise.
o
I The Hartwell Sun came out with
a sixty-four page National Publicity
edition last week week which was a
distinct credit to its publishers, to its
city and the entire state. We con
gratulate Editors Morris upon their
splendid stroke of enterprise.—Wal
ton Tribune.
“A child with the habit of obedi
ence in the family passes naturally
into a law-abiding citizen. The citi
zen having the habit of obeying the
laws finds no difficulty in keeping
any law. The habit of morality re
moves most effectually the tempta
tion of vice. The English have the
habit of obeying their criminal laws
and crime is not common in England
and Canada. The present day Ameri
can from his infancy habitually
breaks all the law that he meets with.
He has the habit of lawlessness and
calls it liberty. By a powerful ef
fort, beginning in the home and
school, this one evil can be reversed.
It must be.”—Judge Samuel Sibley.
o
Best Part Underground.
Pat Griffin, in the Bainbridge
Post-Searchlight, thus soliloquizes:
It is a very pitiful and touching
thing to see an old woman stung with
the aristocratic bee and imagine that
she is made out of better flesh than
any one else that lives and does right.
It does look like an old woman would
know and see the silly vanity of such
a thing. Heard of one very old
woman that boasted still of her an
cestry and wanted to hold herself
aloof from other folks that had lived
just as good life as she had, because
of that vanity. It is a real pitiful
thing in an old person to act that
way. One boasting of ancestry that
have done nothing worth while them
selves reminds you of a potato vine,
the best part of it underground.

THE HARTWELL SUN, HARTWELL, GA., MARCH 13, 1925
I The Hartwell Sun, published at
I Hartwell, Ga., Leon and Louie
Morris, editors and publishers, has
probably issued the largest paper
ever printed by a Georgia weekly
newspaper. The issue was called
“The National Publicity Edition," and
its sixty-four pages were replete with
with fine articles and ads descriptive
of the fine section in which Hartwell
is situated. The paper was issued
last week. So far as we know, the
nearest approach to The Sun’s edi
tion in point of pages printed was
the industrial edition of The News-
Reporter two years ago, when this
paper printed fifty-six pages of de
i scriptive matter and ads. We con
l gratulate the editors of The Sun on
'■ their accomplishment, knowing, as
I we do, what it takes in money, energy
and nerve to produce such a paper
in a small office. —Washington News
i Reporter.
HARTWELL SUN’S SPECIAL
PUBLICITY EDITION
Last week The Hartwell Sun sent
| out a special publicity edition of 64
I pages. The issue was one of the fin
' est, as well as the largest, newspapers
! ever printed in this section of the
i state.
j The Messrs. Morris are to be con
; gratulated on having a constituency
! so wide-awake* as to make it possible
J to spread broadcast the attractions of
Hartwell and Hart county.
The citizens of Hartwell are also to
be congratulated oh the fact that
they have such a strong team of
young newspaper men in their town
as the “Morris boys,” who so loyally
spend their time and money to fur
ther the interests of their home town
and county.—Toccoa Record.
_________
The Hartwell Sun issued a 64-page
edition last week. This is a remark
able achievement for a city of Hart-
I well’s size—only about a thousand
more people than Conyers has. But
the live towns are easily picked out.
All of them have newspapers filled
with local advertising. Conyers
Times.
One has only to peruse the sixty
four cages of the special edition of
The flartwell Sun, issued last week,
to realize what a great town Hart
well is, as well as the community
I which surrounds it. Both by pic
tures and write-ups. The Sun has
gone forth in large numbers to dis
tant states to tell of the splendid
achievements and hearty co-operation
I which prevail among some of Geor
gia’s best citizenry. We hasten to
; congratulate Morris Brothers, editors,
upon their success in publishing such
a magnificent edition, which is bound
to reap for those concerned a rich
reward.— Monticello News.

things for their county and section.

country paper that we have yet seen.
It appeared last week and consisted
of sixty-four pages of Al booster
stuff for Hartwell and Hart county.
They called it a “National Publicity
Edition,” and it was fully worthy of
the name.—Oglethorpe Echo.
The Hartwell Sun came out last
week with 64 pages. All filled from
cover to cover with interesting read
ing matter. Morris Bros, are boost
ing their home town and county and
we believe their home people appre
ciate them. There is not a better pa
per in Georgia than The Hartwell
Sun. Congratulations to the editors
and people of Hartwell and Hart
county.—Royston Record.
The Hartwell Sun came out last
week with a 64-page National Pub
licity Edition of that wonderful pa
per. The edition was representative
i of the progressive spirit of Hartwell
I and Hart county. So far as we know*

published since the world began.—

Georgia is very much alive and still
on the map, a perusal of last week’s

( a worthy leader, pointing the way to
a greater future.—LaGrange Graphic.
The Hartwell Sun has just issued a

halves but they had done an especial
ly good job this time.—The Savannah
I Press.
THE HARTWELL SUN
The Hartwell Sun came out last
I week with one of the most distinctive
I and imposing special editions of a 1
newspaper to appear in Georgia
within our observation of such
achievements. It is a National Pub-.
licity Edition which undoubtedly is,
giving priceless publicity to the fine
city of Hartwell and the resourceful
county of Hart. Editors Leon and
‘ Louie L. Morris merit all of the con-,
gratuiations which are being shower- \
ed upon therm—Fort Valley Leader-

A Fine Edition
One of the finest special editions
to rttach this office in a long time,
arrived yesterday, from Hartwell,
Ga., where the Morris Brothers pub
lish that estimable old newspaper,
The Hartwell Sun. This special edi
tion is known as a “National Publi
city Edition,” and contains 64 pages.
It is by far the most creditable is
sue of any newspaper every gotten
out in Georgia, in the weekly field.
Through ingenuity and hard work
of Editor Morris, and his staff, this
publication emerged from the press
this week. It is a splendid newspaper
product, painstakingly edited and
well illustrated throughout. It re
flects much credit on the editorial
department of The Sun, and its ap
pearance is a tribute to the effi
ciency of the typographical skill of
The Sun's printers and compositors.
In other words, it couldn’t be beat!
From cover to cover, this edition
of The Sun contains historical facts
aboit Hart county, stories of the
growth and development of this coun
ty, its churches, schools, roads and in
dustries. It is a newspaper issue that
every citizen of Hart county should
receive with pride, and preserve with
care. Page after page is devoted to
the creditable accomplishments of
Hart county, all bearing out the
publishers’ statement that it is “The
Heart of The Piedmont.”
Editors Morris are to be congrat
ulated upon this remarkable piece of
journalistic achievement. The Sun
is one of the best newspapers in the
country, and all of Hart county
should again extend them a rising
vote of thanks for the nation wide
publicity that is made possible
through the publication of this special
edition.
Our hat is off Bro. Morris.—Editor
Wilton E. Hall, Anderson (S. C.)
Independent.

My Dear Sir:—ln all my observa
tion of special editions of a local
newspaper, I do not think that I
have seen one which so thoroughly
covered every subject available for
such an edition. In setting forth the
resources, the enterprises, and the
personal achievements of men worthy
of note in your immediate section,
this copy of The Sun, I am sure, out
shone any similar efforts of a local
newspaper. The achievement was
highly creditable to your organiza
