OVER 3,000 PEOPLE EXPECTED FOR
COUNTY SCHOOL DAY ON FRIDAY
“Hart County School Day’’ Always
W A Big Event In Hartwell—
Program of Events Given
By GEO. S. CLARK, Jr.
Fans, scribes and Pharisees will
gather here Friday from every nook
and corner of Hart county to be
present when the first contests of
Hart’s fourteenth annual county
school meet gets under way prompt
ly at nine o’clock.
Mathematicians and letter-writing
y artists representing every one of the
twenty-six schools entered in the
meet will assemble at nine-thirty and
begin their long tiresome fight to
wards the one goal, victory—that
which cometh to no man save the
diligent.
The entire morning will be spent in
eliminating literary contestants —the
athletic events beginning at two
o’clock. One of the most varied of
athletic programs will be carried out
—from old-fashioned bean-bag con
♦ tests down to the modern day sack
racing conflicts.
Program For County Meet.
9:30 A. M.—Opening Exercises;
beginning Arithmetic and Letter
Writing Contest.
10:30—Spelling and Reading
Tests.
11:00—Declamation and Recita
tion—Division No. 1 in Old School

rl :00—Dinner Hour.
2:oo—Beginning Boys Athletics—
Events 1,2, 3,4, 5, 6 and 7.
Girls Athletics—Events 1,2, 3, 4
and 5.
Stage Set For Big Game.
Two hours will be spent in the
contesting of these athletic events,
terminating at four o’clock when
Hartwell and Athens High take the
field for a little baseballistic quarrel
—the first game of the season be
tween the tribesmen of these two
. cities.
** Both Athens High and Hartwell
have good combinations this season.
Hartwell got off to a rather bad
start, but has steadily improved since
the opening of the season, and at
present bids fair to put on the won
side of the percentage column most
of the remaining games. Athens
High has played three games, win
ning one each for Gainesville and'
Royston. The reverse came when
Royston forced Athens to take a 12
" to 4 licking.
Not oqly will Hartwell and Athens
stage a contest Friday afternoon but
they will also be matched for a game
Saturday afternoon. The brace of
games will be a climax to a great
week for Hartwell and Hart county
fans, the ladies’ game Wednesday
opening festivities for the week-end.

Pensioners of Hart
Get $9,330 Checks
J. W. Scott, Ordinary of Hart
County, last Saturday received a
check for the sum of $9,330.00,
which represents a payment of SIOO
each to the Confederate veterans and
widows of veterans in this county.
He has been busy handing and
mailing out the checks and when
the vets and widows come to Hart
well Friday for the Memorial Day ex
ercises they will all very likely be
wearing a smile.
The total sum paid out by the
State this week to the ’pensioners
amounted to $1,133,300.00.
Last year the pensioners all receiv
ed SIOO in the spring and an addi
tional $25, from the cigar and cigar
ette tax revenue, at Christmas. The
money now being sent out does not
include money from this source,
which will not be available until later
in the year.
ANOTHER FORWARD STEP
FOR REED CREEK SECTION
The election in Reed Creek Con
solidated School District last Sat
day for the purpose of levying a
small addition tax resulted in a vote
of some 130 for and about 30
against the plan.
It is proposed to make further im
provements at the Reed Creek school
covering a period of some five years,
during which time the citizens hope
to make their school the leading rural
educational enterprise in Northeast
Georgia.
Hartwell and Hart County are
proud of the Reed Creek Consolida
ted School and the progressive citi
zens of this forward community.
NEW SI,OOO PIANO WILL

The new outfit cost SI,OOO and
will give local movie fans some nice
music with their ipictures.
Mr. Yarbrough wants The Star
patrons to have the best, and is con
tinually looking out for everything
that will help make this possible.
Drop in, see a good picture, and
hear some good music.

HARTWELL, HART COUNTY, GA., FRIDAY, APRIL 24, 1925
Baptist Revival Will
Begin Sunday; Two
Services Every Day
Revival services will begin at the
Hartwell Baptist church Sunday
morning, April 26th, at the eleven
o’clock hour. Rev. W. A. Duncan,
the pastor, is to do the preaching and
Mr. P. S. Rowland, an evangelistic
singer with the Home Mission Board
of the Southern Baptist Convention,
is to have charge of the singing.
Miss Mildred Johnson and Mrs. L.
N. Adams will be at the instruments
to serve in their usual efficient way.
An ample supply of Coleman’s Har
vest Hymns have been ordered so
that the music will, no doubt, be a
very attractive part of the series of
services.
The pastor and the entire member
ship of the Baptist church wish to
make it plain that this revival is
planned for the entire community
and the people of the county as far
as possible. They sincerely hope
that the public in general will unite
in the services for the good of all.
This series will continue for about
two weeks, according to the plans
of the pastor. The morning ser
vices during the week days are to be
held at ten o’clock and the evening
services at eight o’clock. Mr. Row
land will doubtless organize the boys
and girls into a junior choir and have
a meeting for thirty minutes before
the evening services. He will make
an announcement about this as soon
as he arrives here. This is open to
all of the boys and girls of all of
the denominations, and any one who
misses this band will be the real
loser. Get ready, boys and girls,
for the first meeting!
It is hoped that the morning ser
vices will be largely attended as well
as those in the evening. The pastor
has planned to make morning ser
vices to come within one hour by
the watch. So that, if the business
men come to the day services they
may know that they will be back to
their work in one hour.
These services come only once
each year as a rule. It is a great
time in the lives of numbers who
find the Lord from time to time.
Therefore, every Christian, and par
ticularly every member of the church
holding such services should set ev
ery other thing aside as far as pos
sible and contribute to the success of
the revival. May this be true dur
ing this meeting? Let’s make it so!

Two Resort Hotels
Leased By Local
People
Mr». T. S. Ma«on To Open Nice
Place In Henderconville, N. C.
Mrs. T. S. Mason has leased a 12-
room home in Hendersonville, N. C.,
and will open for both transients and
regular guests on June Ist.
Hendersonville is right next to
Asheville, and by many is consider
ed ahead of the former city from
many viewpoints; it affords the tour
ist a delightful stop-over in a jour
ney through the mountains, and is
a modern city in every respect.
With Mrs. Mason will be her moth
er, Mrs. R. L. Gaines, of Bowers
ville, and Miss Lena Ray, of North
Carolina. Col. Mason will also spend
the week-ends in Hendersonville.
The people of Hartwell, Bowers
ville, Hart and adjoining counties
are extended a special invitation to
visit the Masons when in Henderson
ville. The location is near The
Kentucky Home and the First Meth
odist church.
Mesdames Morris Lease New Rabun
At Mountain City Open May 15th
Mrs. Leon Morris and Mrs. Louie
L. Morris have leased The New Ra
bun, a 36-room hotel at Mountain i
City, Ga., and will open on Fri- ■
day, May 15th.
Mountain City has long been a
favorite with many Hartwell and
Hart county people, the city having
been established many years ago by
Mr. D. Webb Johnson, of Hartwell,
and for some time going under the
name of “Passover,” this being the
place where the traveler passes over
the ridge of the mountains. Later
the name was changed tfo Mountain
City, and on account of its height,
being higher than Asheville, N. C.,
has become quite a resort.
The New Rabun has been renovat
ed from top to bottom and under
the management of Mesdames Mor
ris will very likely prove popular
amongst local people the coming sea
son.
Mrs. D. A. Thornton, of Atlanta,
mother of Mrs. L. L. Morris, and
Mrs. J. W. Morris, of Hartwell, will
also spend the summer at The New
Rabun.
Mountain City is about three hours’
ride from Hartwell, on the State
highway from Toccoa ahd Cornelia,
passing through Tallulah Falls and
Clayton. •
A special invitation is extended
Hartwell and Hart county people to
visit The New Rabun when in the
mountains of North Georgia.

Public Invited To

o
GASOLINE SALES
OFF IN GEORGIA
Autoists are not riding as much
as they did last year, or else they
have found some way to make the
old bus go a little farther on less
fuel.
Perhaps the former is true, for
Georgia sales of gasoline during the
first three months of the year were
off just $5,000,000 over the same
period in 1924, —
And this reduced the revenue to
the State about $150,000.00, figuring
three cents per gallon tax.
Officials in Atlanta account for the
dropping off in the fact that gasoline
one year ago was 21 cents, while
it is 26 cents per gallon now, and
has been even higher.
“People just refuse to buy gaso
line when the price goes up, and the
fluctuations are always reflected in
the revenue derived from the state
tax of three cents per gallon,” said
My. Harrison, chief clerk in the
Comptroller General’s office at the
State Capitol. He added that deal
ers have told him the falling off *n
sales was due to the higher price, as
automobile owners are either leaving
their cars at home or buying two or
three gallons at a time, hoping for
a reduction in the price.
The receipts for first quarter 1924
were $967,000 against $818,233 for
January, February and March this
year.

W. K. McGee Has
Fifteen Acres Fine
Crimson Clover
Mr. W. K. McGee, of Air Line,
has fifteen acres of about as fine
crimson clover as can be found in all
of this section of Georgia.
Samples displayed this week show
his crop several weeks ahead of last
year, and show what fine results can
be accomplished with this well known
cover crop in Hart county.
Mr. McGee has been raising crim
son clover for three years, and after
gathering the seed for sale plows
the stubble under; he has had won
derful success with this species of
clover, stating that he will put
“crimson up against any of them."
His 15-acre patch is worth visiting
Air Line to see.
Through the efforts of County
Agent Bingham, Mr. McGee and
others there are said to be several
hundred acres of crimson clover all
over Hart county this year.

Concert A Success
The program in the Court House
park last Saturday afternoon by the
Hartwell Concert Band drew a large
crowd and proved a most interesting
occasion.
This was the initial appearance of
the new Hartwell Concert Band un
der the leadership of Director Poole,
an experienced bandmaster who is
now making Hartwell his home. .
Director Poole has had many
years’ experience with bands and
orchestras and the rendition of Sat
urday’s program shows just what
can be accomplished in a short time
with a group of ambitious musicians
under a competent instructor.
Every number was good,—and this
is the beginning of a number of like
concerts to be given in Hartwell from
time to time.
The Hartwell Concert Band is
composed of some 20 pieces. It is
hoped to increase the membership
to 60, making it the largest organi
zation in this section of Georgia.
A portrait of President Harding
adorns the new one-and-a-half-cent
stamp designed for use on third
class mail matter under the new pos
tage rates. A one-half-cent stamp
carrying a profile of Nathan Hale
will be sold to take care of those
who have on hand a supply of the
old one-cent stamps.

A Thought
Why don’t they keep the streets a
little cleaner?
You ask with deep annoyance not
undue.
Why don’t they keep the parks a
little greener?
Did you ever stop to think
That THEY mean YOU?
Mayor’s Proclamation.
To the Public:
Next week is hereby designated as
CLEAN UP WEEK. So, let’s work
together and make our city clean
and beautiful. In connection with
this, let me ask that the people join
in with the city force and put the
cemetery in good shape.
This campaign is sponsored by the
Brenau Club and everybody is re
spectfully urged to cooperate.
If you have no way of moving your
trash, pile it up in a convenient place
where the wagon can get to it and
notify Mrs. Nimqui Smith, Chairman
of Committee for Brenau Club. This
campaign will begin Monday morn
ing and last one week.

—(».—
Come on! Let’s put things in or
der. Our whole town can and should
be made as clean and orderly as its
cleanest home. Dirt breeds disease.
Let’s clean up, paint up, and live
longer.
Abraham Lincoln said: “I like to
see a man proud of the place he
lives in.” Visitors from other places
judge our town as a whole in much
the same way that the individual
citizen is judged by the appearance
of his home.
Let’s do away with the rubbish
piles. Clean up the streets and al
leys. Cut the weeds, mow the
lawns and trim the hedges, repair and
paint every building that needs it.
Especially do we seek the co-op
; eration of the school children. We
ask every child to call himself a com
mittee of one to get rid of all the
tin cans, rubbish, dirt and other
things unsanitary that he possibly
can.
In the Mill Village the Brenau
Club offers the following prizes:
For best kept flower garden Ist
prize $1.50; 2nd prize 75c.
For best porch box—lst prize,
$1.50; 2nd prize 75c.
Remember, this is EVERYBODY’S
job. Every man, woman and child
will be expected to help. Let there
be no slackers.
The following ladies have been
named as Chairmen on the various
streets:
W. Howell St.- Mrs. W. B. Mc-

Action of Stream Will Cover
Several Months, Perhaps
Mr. L. J. Hall, of the Georgia
Railway & Power Co., has been mak
ing headquarters in Hartwell for the
past three weeks, during which tune
he has superintended the construc
tion of an outfit on the Tugalo river,
north of the city, by which the flow
of the water, the rise and fall, and
other data may be obtained for the
company.
A steel cable has been stretched
across the river near Hatton’s Ford,
and out in the river has been plac
ed a machine which measures accu
rately every phase of the flow, etc.,
and from this data the Georgia
Railway & Power Co.’s engineers will
work out their program for develop

near future perhaps.
Mr. Hall is an expert and works
through the U. S. Geological De
partment. He has been assisted in
the installation of the machine by
Supt. T. W. Wilson of the local of
