Legion Fund Drive
April 6-11 For A
Worthy Cause
The American Legion Campaign
for funds for disabled ex-service men
and their orphans will be held from
April 6th through the 11th.
Below are a few facts concerning
this campaign:
Ist. Five million dollars to be
raised in the United States during the
week of April 6-11.
2nd. Only the interest on this
amount will be spent each year in
the work of aiding the disabled men
and saving the orphans.
3rd. Through the efforts of the
American Legion, thousand of dis
abled ex-soldiers are today drawing
compensation from the U. S. Govern
ment, who otherwise might have been
in the poor houses, or dead from
lack of medical treatment.
sth. All legislation for the bene
fit and relief of ex-service men, has
been sponsored by the American
Legion.
6th. Thousands of shell-shocked
victims of the battle fields of France
have been kept out of, and rescued
from the INSANE INSTITUTIONS
of the country, and restored to their
loved ones, after having medical
treatment, by the American Legion
and its friends.
7th. We intend to see that every
unfortunate soldier of the World
War and every orphan child of an
ex-service men, has a chance in life,
in so far as it is humanly possible,
and it takes funds to do this work.
Ex-Governor Hugh M. Dorsey is
chairman for Georgia.
This campaign is endorsed and
backed by Pres. Coolidge, John W.
Davis, and practically every promi
nent man in the United States re
gardless of political alignment.
W’e the members of the Hart
County Post of the American Legion,
have faith in the citizenship of Hart
county, and as we responded to the
bugle call in 1917-18, and took our
places wherever duty called, we be
lieve that you will respond to our
call on April 6-11 and help us to take i
care of the fragments of that great
war, the disabled men, some wish
one leg, some with no legs, some weak
both in body and in mind, on account I
of the horrors of shell and gas. Many
orphans are left behind. Wont you
answer our CALL in 1925? We '
BELIEVE YOU WILL.

Water Rushes Through Mile Tunnel To
Northeast Georgia’s Fifth Large Plant
1 New Georgia Railway & Power Co.
Plant Eight Storiea In Heighth—
Cut Tunnel Through Mountain
Mile Long—Name “Terrora”
1 Tallulah Falls, Ga., March 17.
The Terrora tunnel and generating
plant of the Georgia Railway &
Power Company was opened this/
week, with the first unit of 15,0(W
horsepower placed in operation and
connecting with the high-tension
transmission system which covers
I north Georgia.
The Terrora tunnel, more than a
mile long from its intake in Lake
Rabun to the turbines at the head of
Lake Tallulah, cuts off six miles, df
river and gives the water a drop of
194 feet through tunnel and pen
stocks, operating two waterwheels of
15,000 horsepower each and gener- i
ating 20,000 kilowatts of electric i
energy when installation of equip
ment is complete.
The tunnel was bored through solid
rock, construction crews working
from both ends according to blue
prints which were acurate to a hair’s
breadth and brought the crews to
gether midway between the two
entrances a year after boring was
begun.
The Terrora development is the
fifth of the power company’s pro
gram for harnessing the Tallulah and
Tugalo rivers to the wheels of Geor
gia industry. The first was Tallulah
Falls dam and generating station,
followed successively by Mathis dam
at Lake Rabun, Burton dam at the j
head of the system and Tugalo dam
and generating station on the Tugalo |
river just below the convergence of
the Tallulah and Chattoga rivers.
Next to be completed, following
Tetrora, will be Yonah dam and
power station four miles below Tuga- |
lo station, and Nacoochee, on Tullu
lah river below Burton dam, both of
which are < nder construction, and
then the Bi ton generating station
at the head of the system, for which
the dam already has been built.
The new powerhouse, as tall as an
.eight,story office building, is set in
the solid rock at the head of Lake
Tallulah. Its substructure is of re
inforced concrete and its superstruc
ture of brick and steel. The two
waterwheels will have a capacity of
15,000 horsepower each.
With the completion of the Terrora
project, the company’s building pro
gram w ill center on the Yonah dam
and power plant which is already
under construction, and which will ;
have a dam 75 feet high and 800
feet long, waterwheels of 37,500
horsepower capacity and generators
of 25,000 kilowatts capacity when
completed.
The Terrora plant was opened
without formal ceremony. A few
1 score of the men who have had part
, in its, construction gathered in the
power plant when it became known
I that the hopr had been set for open
ing A cheer burst from them as
the v ' ,ers were heard rushing against
the £aterwceels, but this was quickly
droVnfed ill the hum of the generator
and,Terrora was adding its load of
electric energy to that being pro
duce'! by the other power houses on
i the system.

Chautauqua Date
Set For June 3rd
The Hartwell six-day Chautau
qua will begin very probably on
Wednesday, June 3rd, and end

that all parties take note and ar
range all other engagements at

FIVE - DAY SERIES LARGELY
ATTENDED BY OUR PEOPLE
Nearly Every School In Hart County
Took Part In Annual Basket
ball Tournament
By GEO. S. CLARK, JR.
This morning up at Reed Creek
there are ten basketball players who
can truthfully pat themselves on their
backs and declare to the world that
they have the best basketball team
in all of Hart county.
The championship came as a re
sult of her victory Tuesday night
over the Bowersville quintet by the
score of 29 to 15. This was the final
game of the tournament.
How They Won
Reed Creek began her winning
streak by crushing the Mt. Olivet
team by a 29 to 19 score. Next
came Eagle Grove who was turned
back to the tune of 20 to 16. The
hardest game of the tournament for
the Reed Creek boys was the game
with Nuberg Monday night, when
Reed Creek barely nosed out Nuberg
by a final score of 18-14. This was
considered by many as the best game
of the entire tournament. The game
with Bowersville was rather loosely
played, Reed ('reek having the edge
all the way through.
On the Reed Creek team Coach
Roy Hodson has five of as good
basketball players that can be found
anywhere. They are all fast and
know how to handle the ball. And
they pass, too, this being shown in
the game with Nuberg. Besides this
the Reed Creek team boasts of men
who can shoot goals from most any
1 position. Only one player on the
i team rarely ever shoots a goal and
I this is Madden. He makes up any
defect along this line by his good
guarding.
Nuberg Girls Champions
The Nuberg girls’ team waded
through the Sardis outfit Monday to
bring home the bacon and the cham
pionship- -the final score being 29 to
8.
The first half began with n rush,
1 but was filled with some good ex
hibitions of excellent guarding. Dur
-1 ing the intermission Coach Brown
must have given his girls a glimpse of
the banner that would be presented
to the winners of this game for they
came back in the last half with an
avalanche of points sufficient to take
’ possession of the beautiful orange
and black banner announcing the
winners of the Hart County Tourna
ment so far as the girls are con
corned.
