HEARD AND SEEN
DOC CLOCK
Over five hundred eager and
nervous basketball fans were in at
tendance at the semi-finals of the
Hart County Tournament Monday
night when Reed Creek stemmed the
attack of the Nuberg cohorts by a
18 to 14 score.
The game was hard-fought through
out and showed good training on the
part of both teams. Joe Brown, of
Nuberg, registered the first points of
the evening when he shot a pretty
goal six seconds after the first whis
tle was blown. Another Brown—
Veal this time—gave Nuberg a three
point lead with a foul goal. Robin
son shot three foul goals in succes
sion to bring the score to a 3-3 dead-'
lock. A foul was called on Nuberg
and Martin responded with a foul
goal, sending Reed Creek into the
lead for the first time, 4-3. Martin
snatched the ball three feet behind
the center ring and sent it through
the hoops for his first field goal of
the evening. Veal Brown again came
into light when he sent the ball into
the basket to tie the score again,
5-5. Here the first quarter ended.
Coach Roy Hodson of the Reed
Creek team took Madden out soon
after the beginning of the second
quarter, poured forth into his ear
words which must have stirred him to
a high pitch for he went back into
the game with renewed energy. Joe
Brown broke the tie with a foul, but
Vernon soon tied the tally again at
six-all. Atkinson with a foul goal
broke the tie. Edgar Thornton came
through to tie the score for the four
th time with a foul goal. Atkinson
scored another foul before the pistol
ended the first half.
Nuberg took the lead shortly after
the opening of the second half when
Joe Brown put in a field goal. At
this interval Edgar Thornton, stellar
forward on the Nuberg team, was
ejected because of foul and Robinson
gave Reed Creek the lead again with
two foul goals, 10-9. Madden in
creased Reed Creek’s lead by shoot
ing a pretty goal from about center.
The score now read 12-9. Veal
Brown again shone by making a foul
and field goal to again tie the score
at 12-12, the third quarter ending at
this time.
Madden broke the tie with another
foul, but Venl Brown sank one to tie
the score. Jack Martin scored his
second long shot when •he put the
ball through the ring to bring the
score to 15-13, in Reed Creek’s favor.
Atkinson increased their lead an
'Other point with a foul. After time
out Nuberg threatened to snatch
victory from Reed Creek, Harper
shooting a foul and Veal Brown
making the ball roll all around the
hoops. But to no avail. Reed Creek
had won, Nuberg had gone down.

! occurred at the Hart County Tourney
we were sitting glanced up at the
’ the other night. The person by whom
• 1 entrance door. Suddenly their ap-
peared in the door a clerk of a local
i dry goods store.
The person sitting my side, a
Nuberg fan, looked very eagerly to
' ' see which side this clerk sat on—
; Nuberg’s or Reed Creek’s.
As it happened he sat on Reed
Creek’s side and our friend remark
ed, “Well, I’ll never buy another
’ yard of cloth at his store.”
So it goes!
i Somewhere in Franklin county, we
' don’t know where, there is a school
| that goes by the name of Grady.
■ That school had a basketball team
I which went up to Lavonia two weeks
ago and captured the cup given the
champions of the Tri-County Tourn
ament, Franklin, Stephens and Hart
being the three counties entered.
The Gray team, not being satis
fied with their successes at Lavonia,
has challenged Reed Creek the win
ners of the Hart county tournament.
This challenge has been accepted and
on next Saturday night Lavonia will
be busy entertaining the first of a
two-game series that will be played
between Reed Creek and Gray.
Both teams come down to Hartwell
Monday night to play the last game
of the series—and it will be a series,
too—let me tell you folks. Both
teams fighting for more honors, and
every man on the two quintets putting
forth every ounce of energy into the
heat of battle.
Prepare for it, people!
Having carefully stored away an
other basketball tourney Hartwell and
Hart county fans look with pleasure
to the coming spring and summer
months, expecting some good teams
to be developed from the county’s
I many contingents.
THE HARTWELL SUN, HARTWELL, GA., MARCH 20, 1925
Franklin Ranks High
as Apostle of Thrift
Who does not remember Benjamin
Franklin’s advice: “Don’t give too
much for the whistle”? And by that
he meant don’t give more of thought
or time or money for anything than
it Is worth. His unhappy experience
with the whistle marked the begin
ning of Franklin's great work in the
cause of thrift, the Thrift Magazine
recalls.
He had few books but was deter
mined to have an education. Many a
time he would sit up nearly all night
reading by candlelight. To buy more
books, Franklin made a bargain with
his brother, to whom he was appren
ticed. by which he would board him
self on half the money It had been
costing. Then he did without fish and
meat, lived on a cheap vegetable diet
and invested his savings in worth
while books.
He never attended a college or even
a high school. He went to a primi
tive grammar school but two years
and yet he was one of the best edu
cated men of his day. He found time
to write books, to study science, to
invent. No one ever exemplified the
value of thrift in time more than did
Franklin. His “wise saws” on time
saving, such as "Since thou art not
sure of a minute, throw not away an
hour," are known to all.
Policy of Silence
Makes Few Enemies
A keen observer recently remarked
that harsh words in the English lan
guage have more synonyms than pleas
ant words have. A little turning of
the pages of the dictionary bears him
out.
If you say a man tells the truth you
have said It all. There is no neat and
forceful way of emphasizing and en
larging upon that. But if you say he
lies you will find a hundred subter
fuging ways to say it. From the
"short and ugly” to "equivocate,”
“quibble,” “prevaricate” and the like,
the list Is long, says the Montreal
Star.
One politician made himself famous
by saying of another that he “was
economical in the use of the truth to
the verge of parsimonlousness.” Such
a statement draws a smile. It Is
bland, it Is suave, It has the mild
sting of vinegar, not the burning ero
sion of vitriol.
Evea better than such elaborate cir
cumlocutions to express a thing which
at best we should have left unsaid is
to forego for the moment being clever,
and keep our peace. The world will
think more highly of us for it.
When Pedagogues Kicked
Scotland’s army of schoolmasters
•n the year 1782 sent a memorial to
parliament pointing out that while
their average Income was £l3 a year
that of a plowman was £l4 to £l6.
No relief was granted until 1802. when
the Schoolmasters’ act was passed,
and their Income was legally fixed at
| “not under 300 merks (£l6 13s. 4d)
I nor over 400 merks (£22 4s. 6d).” The
I heritors had also to provide a house,
j “which need not contain more than
' two rooms, Including, the kitchen, und
I with ground for a garden or not more
i than a quarter of a Scots acre, or two
I bolls of meal as Its equivalent." They
| were highly Indignant at being obliged
I to “erect palaces for dominies," but
' legal compulsion could no longer be
i ignored. Thereafter, conditions were
| at least good enough to prevent school
! masters from resigning their office to
’ become beadles—as had actually hap
| pened during the darkest days!
Marvels of Jelly-Fish
The jelly-fish has a truly wonderful
I way of reproducing Its species. In
i most cases the beginning is an egg,
I which, lying on the bottom, produces
! a beautiful tree-llke growth. The
| "tree” fastens itself to the bottom and
■ brings forth buds which, when ripe,
i drop off and develop Into jelly-fish.
’ The latter In turn lay eggs and the
I process Is repeated. Most of the very
| large species have a different way of
reproducing themselves. The egg is
i set free In the water and develops into
1 a pear-shaped larva, which for a while
swims about rapidly, being provided
with halr-Ilke appendages that serve
the purpose of ears. Then the larva
| settles down, anchors Itself to the bot-
I tom, increases in size rapidly, and
; finally splits up into thin, flat discs
which swim off and grow up into large
1 jelly-fishes.
Origin of Gloves
Gloves trace their origin back sot
, centuries, the first mention of them
' in literature is to be found In the
i Bible, but scientists believe we should
I go back still farther, for among pre-
■ glacial relics an unmistakable draw
, ing of a glove, rudely etched upon a
! stone, was discovered.
It is said that the first skilled glove
1 makers were the monks of the early
( Middle ages. In 790 Charlemegat
granted to the abbots and monks ol
Sithln. In ancient France, unlimitec
right of hunting the deer for skins ol
which to make gloves. Gloveuiaklns
was established in France as an in
dustry in the Twelfth century.
Economical Wooing
‘There are men. I suppose." she re
marked pensively, “who get engager
to more than one girl at a time."
"Yes,” he answered, “but I am noi
one of them."
"I'm glad to hear you say that. I'
i is so frivolous and insincere."
“Os course. And there is no reasor
' why a man shouldn’t make one en
gagetuent ring go all the way around
If he only takes his time."
; English Town Makes
Specialty of Blankets
I There ought to be a game—perhaps
there Is —in which a town’s name Is
answered by hs Industry, an exchange
. observes. “Sheffield,” cries one,
"Knives,” says the other; "Cheddar"
i cries another, “Cheese,” replies one,
1 To Witney, the answer, without any
quibbling, is “Blankets.” Witney is
| pervaded, you may say, with blankets.
I wrapped up In them, Indeed, devoted
to them, and proud of them, as well
jlt may be. For are not they the best
|in Britain? And this is no new in
dustry, but a 500-year-old one, and it
has ever brought prosperity to the lit
tle town and work for its people. Still
older than its blankets is the town,
the Witaneye of the Saxons, and a
thank-offering of Queen Emma, wife
of that Canute who sat beside the sea.
It has its market place, where the
Butter Cross of 1683 made shelter for
the farmers’ wives who came to sell
their eggs and butter. But food Is
secondary to blankets In this little
place. Behind the one long street of
houses runs the Windrush, that serves
the blanket makers with its clear wa
ters. In the town stands the guild
hall of the Blanket-Makers' company, i
with their arms and motto —a motto I
that gives good reason for the con
tinuous prosperity of the blanket
makers and their industry:
“Weave truth with trust.”
Sweden Great Power
During Middle Ages
Cities of southern Sweden were
among the greatest commercial cen- i
ters of the civilized world during the
Middle ages. Stockholm and Lund
ranked with London and Faris, says
the Family Herald. They absorbed
the commerce of the northern seas
and were the admiration of thousands
of travelers and merchants who passed
through them and trafficked with them.
Later Sweden was the great military
power of northern Europe.
The ambassadors of the Swedish
kings were received with the utmost
deference In every court. Her sol
diers won great battles and ended
mighty wars. The England of Crom
well and Charles II was unimportant
and Isolated in comparison with this
northern kingdom, which could pour
forth armies of gigantic blond warriors
headed by brave and astute generals.
Sweden Is today a peaceful kingdom.
Even the secession of Norway w’as
accomplished without bloodshed. Den
mark once domineered and tyrannized
over both kingdoms.
