“Doc’s Ology”
From a field of one-hundred and
ten basketball players it is no easy
task to pick the five best players—
but I suppose it had to be done. So,
we have watched a number of games
at the Hart County Tourney and
hereby render the following five as
our pick for the five best men in the
tourney:
Thornton. Nuberg—Forward.
Atkinson, Reed Creek—Forward.
Shiflet, Sardis—Center.
Madden, Reed Creek—Guard.
Neese, Sardis —Guard.
There were a number of good
games played at the tourney and
everyone seemed satisfied with the
outcome—even though the team of
their choice might not have won. The
refereeing was handled by the Massey
boys, J. C. and Kyle, and Prof. Har
vill, of Lavonia.
The first two mentioned officiated
in the grammar school games, while
Harvill did most of the whistle work
in the high school games. There
have been no complaints at all about
the refereeing—everything moved
along in fine style.
It is really amazing to just notice
the number of people who were at
the Nuberg-Reed Creek game. There
were over five-hundred fans, the
larger per cent of them coming a
good many miles through the rain
and mud for the purpose of seeing
the game.
The coach of the Grady team was
down here for every game—he was
greatly interested in the outcome,
too. He, or rather, his Ford waded
through at least fifteen miles of mud
riddled roads to get here—his flivver
brought him here alright.
The cordiality of Hartwell people
is what we call fine. Now, one of
the men had his car slide off into a
ditch near the school house. Mr.
Allman scratched, I suppose, the top
of his cranium and decided that this
person needed help, so he took some
of his boys and proceeded to get the
auto on the right track again.
The boys used their physical ability
and lifted this man’s car from out
>f the ditch and did another deed
of kindness. Don’t you know that
he will feel a lot more hospitable
towards Hartwell because of this act.
It will not hurt to be kind to a
person “when a fellow needs a
friend.”
The next meeting for the Hart
county schools is set for April 24,
the same year as this. The meet will
begin Friday, the twenty-fourth and
end Saturday, the twenty-fifth. These
two days are already being looked
forward to by the numerous county
schools.

Keen Shot Kills Tiger
With his long tall erect over his

the monarch of the forest straight for
us. His strength, grace and speed are
impossible to describe. As he rounded
a turn about 60 yards away I let him
have it with my right barrel. The bul
let went true to its murk. When it
hit him, full In the right eye, he was

leap, for a good 20 feet beyond, came,
but when he touched the earth he was

his brain, and not a mark was visible
on his beautiful coat, nor was there
the least twitching of his muscles after
the fatal shot.
No one there had ever seen or heard
of a tiger being shot without having a
mark of any kind made on his skin.—

Sea and Land in Battle
The washing away by the sea of
land worth millions of dollars on the
coast of New Jersey, pointed to in the
annual report of the United States

tention to the battle waged year in
and year out between the sea and
land all over the world. The sea and
land have been foes since the begin
ning of time and, according to some
physiographers, these old enemies will
remain such until the last mountain
i pinnacle has been washed down and
ground to sand, and the victorious
ocean rolls unbroken around the
world. But whatever may be the out
come millions of years hence, we are
still in the give-and-take era. Many
miles of land are washed away an
nually; but compensating areas are
built up in other places.—Pathfinder

THE HARTWELL SUN, HARTWELL, GA., MARCH 20, 1925
Fourteen Nationalities See
Georgia Couple Married
Just Across The Savannah
The Anderson (S. C.) Independent
has written the following interesting
account of a wadding witnessed by
The Sun representative and a num
ber of others just across the Sa
vannah river last Sunday afternoon,
which proved a most interesting ard
unusual wedding.
“A’ unique marriage, probably the
first of the kind ever performed in
this state took place at 4 o’clock
Sunday afternoon at the Alford's
bridge when Noah Brooks and Miss
Decie McGill, both of Royston, Ga.,
were married in the presence of four
teen different nationalities. The
marriage occurred on the South Caro
lina side and was performed by Pro
bate Judge Herman E. Bailey of this
county.
“Shortly before the ceremony, a
large bus bearing students and offi
cials of the Bible Park Training
school comprising the League of
Many Nations, arrived at the bridge
and crossed to the South Carolina
side. The wedding was witnessed by
the members of the party, together
with a number of other people. The
training school recently gave a pro
gram in this city. The nationalities
represented by the group of travelers
included the following: Polish Jew,
English, German, Swede, Hollander,
South American, Indian, Irish,
French, Welsh, Russian Jew, Turk,
Canadian in addition to the Ameri
can, the latter making fourteen.
“Immediately after the ceremony
Dr. Davis, of the training school, led
the assemblage in prayer.
“Having come to Anderson early
Sunday afternoon in quest of Judge
Bailey and learning he and Mrs.
Bailey had gone to Hartwell, Ga.,
Mr. Brooks returned to that place.
Because of the fact that Judge
Bailey was out of his jurisdiction, it
was necessary for the party to re
turn to Anderson county. Upon
crossing the bridge into this county,
the ceremony was performed and the
happy couple returned to Georgia.”
Trivial Diary Entries
Best Record of Doings
A hundred times, perhaps, the pen
has been taken up with reluctance to
tell the story o* an unexciting day.
There has seemed to be nothing worth
saying, no happening worth the spoil
ing of paper with ink, says a writer In
the ixtndon Times. Yet, for habit’s
sake and in a determination not to be
beaten, an entry has been made, and
often, at the year’s end, these entries,
which once seemed so dull, are found
to have moA> truth and more enter
tainment in them than many a record
of a relatively eventful day.
When “there is nothing worth say
ing” a diarist is apt to fill in the gap
with a little of himself, to give play
to his imagination, to escape from
that formality which settles over even
the simplest of domestic histories, Und
to permit himself, as he thinks, to be
trivial. Then, Indeed, he is writing,
as the perfect diarist must nearly al
ways write, for no other eye but his
own. He would be ashamed to pub
lish ; he would blush to imagine pos
terity looking at that singularly
trivial page. Yet that Is the page
which amuses him when months later
he rereads It, and that certainly is
the page in which, if it survives, his
great-grandchildren will have their
chief delight. "An empty day,’’ he
thinks as he writes. “What on earth
can I say of It?” And nine times out
of ten it is on such occasions that the
trivial goddess who presides over the
fortunes of diarists tricks him into
drawing without knowing it a portrait
of himself.
Weapons of Warfare
of American Indians
Though some Indians were more
proficient at it than others, and the
methods of some tribes were more ad
vanced than those of others, there
was very little secret about the mak
ing of warlike Implements, and all the
Indians knew how. Flints and similar
stones were used not so much because
of their hardness as for the reason
they could be flaked off and fashioned
into desired shapes as arrow, lance,
spear or harpoon heads, knives, saws
or scrapers. The flint was to be found
in open fields, bowlder beds and else
where, and the tribes camped occa
sionally near the larger supplies to
break off with rocks or hammers the
quantities and sizes of flint chips
needed. These were carried home, to
be flaked off and worked into shape
with the aid of sharp-pointed Imple
ments of bone. The waste and refuse
of the process, as well as the tools
employed in it, have often been found
on the sites of early Indian dwellings.
The products of this primitive indus
try range in size from tiny arrow tips
to ceremonial spear heads more than
a foot long.—Cleveland Plain-Dealer.
Moslem’s Holy Period
Th Ramadan la the ninth month of
the Moslem year, observed as a fast In
commemoration of the first revelation
received by Mohammed. It commences
with the new moon of the ninth month
of the year and ends on the day pre
ceding the great festival of Ba Irani.
From dawn to sunset of each day dur
ing this period the strictest abstinence
is enjoined. All eating, drinking, bath
ing, smoking and other bodily pleas
ures—even swallowing one's saliva —
being forbidden. At night, however, the
satisfaction of the most necessary de
sires is permitted. As the Mohammedan
year is lunar, consisting of 354 days,
21 hours, it follows that in the course
of 33 years the Ramadan passes
through all the seasons. It is said that
the fast of the Ramadan is much less
strictly observed now than in former
times. —Kansas City Star.

BUT ONE ACTOR
RESEMBLED WASHINGTON
Located after a country-wide
search, during which thousands of
photographs were examined, and
more than one hundred actors, in
cluding a number of Broadway stars,
were interviewed in person, Arthur
Dewey was selected by D. W. Griffith
to portray the role of George Wash
ington in “America,” the romatic
photodrama of the War of Inde
pendence, which come to the Star
Theatre Wednesday, Thursday and
Friday of next week.
Dewey was selected because he
was adjudged to have the most per
fect physical resemblance to Wash
ington. Before the final selection
was made Dewey and several other
applicants were taken to Washing
ton, D. C„ by Griffith, in order that
he might compare their visages with
pictures and statues of the first
President.
Although some historical authori
ties claim that the Father of his
Country was more than six feet in
height, Griffith’s research depart
ment unearthed an orde.r written by
Washington to his tailors in London,
in which he described himself as
“just six feet, and of medium build.”
It was found that Dewey was exactly
six feet tall.

GOING TO RAISE CORN
If The Sun crew fails to have
roasting ears this year it won’t be
the fault of our good friend, Mr.
Crayton White, of Canon 1, who
brought in two large ears of corn
last Wednesday.
The two ears weigh 2 pounds, and
were raised on land that has been
in cultivation for over 100 years. It
is of the Winfrey variety, but we
have named it “Crayton White’s
Special.”
Doubtless Crayton thought we
might use some meal from the corn
to make cornbread to eat with that
"grand old buttermilk.”

FIREMAN MEREDITH CITED
FOR FIXING 38’5 ENGINE
Fireman Floyd A. Meredith, of the
Charlotte Division, has been com
mended by General Manager R. E.
Simpson for his recent action in con
necting the blower pipe on Engine
1372, train No. 38, at Peachtree
Station. Mr. Meredith was not the
regular fireman on this engine but
was familiarizing himself with the
operation of the stoker. When the
blower pipe became disconnected he
volunteered to go into the front end
of the engine and make the neces
sary adjustments. It was a most dif
ficult job owing to the intense heat
and coal gas from the fire box. His
action saved an engine failure and
prevented delay to the train.
