The idea of Mother’s Day was orig , inated by Miss Anna Jarvis, of Phil idelphia. It was first observed in several surrounding cities in 1910. The idea soon spread until in 1913 Senator Heflin (then a representa tive) offered a resolution to congress recommending that the day be ob served by all government employees. The resolution passed unanimously. ' The following year congress author ized the President to designate the F second Sunday in May of each year as Mother’s Day, the first proclama tion under this authority being is sued by President Wilson on May 9, 1914. The badge for the day is a white carnation, emblematic of the purity, beauty and fidelity of a mother’s love. By some a red carnation is worn in honor of living mothers. Few of us reflect as often as we should on the debt of love and grati > tude we owe to our mothers. By thoughts and acts of sincere affec tion on Mother’s Day, we not only honor them, but also honor our selves. Pastors of the Hartwel churches arrange their services Sunday to do honor to the mothers, living arid dead, and the public should attend church on this day without fail. o ’ The Crop Outlook Crop conditions up to last report: The indicated acreage of cotton is 43,130,000. Increase as compar ed to last year about 4 per cent. Georgia—About ten days early. Not much change in use of fertilizer. Grade about the same compared with last season. Sufficient farm ani mals. Pretty subsoil moisture. La- * bor shortage reported in scattered localities, although not serious. Many correspondents say with the mild winter, increased weevil activity is expected. Climatic conditions good. In the Carolinas the use of fer tilizer is slightly decreased. In Georgia approximately the same amount is being used as last year. In Alabama, Mississippi and Arkan sas the increase is fairly large, whereas, in Lousiana there is less be ing used. In the balance of the < Western cotton producing states, while fertilizer is not generally used, there are advices that in many sec tions more was sold than last year. The main complaint at the moment is the absence of sufficient subsoil moisture in states West of the Miss issippi River. Some of the droughty sections have received beneficial rains recently, although not sufficient to supply the soil deficiency. Preparations are well advanced and the outlook in the Central and Eastern States is very encouraging. Correspondents express the view that the mild Winter will cause increased weevil activity of this insect. While there are advices of possible scarcity of labor in scattered locali ties, the shortage is not serious and ■ much depends upon the amount of cultivation required. THE HARTWELL SUN. Large Crowds Have Attended Revival Services At Baptist Church; Close Sunday Night Great interest has been manifested by the people of Hartwell and com munity in the revival at the Baptist church which ends next Sunday night after two weeks of earnest preaching by the pastor, Rev. W. A. Duncan. Services are being held at 10 A. M., and 8 P. M., and have been largely attended, especially at the evening hour. In charge of the song services is Mr. P. S. Rowland, of Macon, who has organized both senior and junior choirs, this part of the service being very helpful to all. The people of all denominations have availed themselves of the op portunity offered during these spe cial services and great good has al ready been accomplished. There have been several additions to the church. o Big Developments Water power Sites Some great waterpower sites will be developed around Hartwell, which will be of value to this entire section.

It is for this purpose that the pro posed meeting at the court house will be held on next Tuesday. All persons who are interested in having their community represented in the league are requested to be present at this meeting. A call meeting of Hartwell Lodge No. 189 F. & A.

Work in Madison county will ex tend from Danielsville to Broad river, a stretch that has been unim proved for months, but in better con dition than usual during the past year, and from Broad river to Roy ston in Franklin county. Captain J. W. Barnett made announcement of the inprovement at the meeting of the Chamber of Commerce Wednes day. Many of the smaller bridges along this route will also be improved though the twin bridge across Broad river will not be replaced at this time it is announced. This improve ment will insure a splendid all weather road from Athens to the Carolina line and will be a great boon to tourist travel via Athens.— Athens Banner-Herald. o Convicts Get Away In County’s Truck; Chase Is Soon Over Two white convicts escaped from the Hart county gang just after noon last Monday and gave the officers a lively chase until about 5:30 when they were captured near the place they started from. While hauling top-soil from rear of a farm home on the Cross Roads road, the two men took a truck they were using and escaped. One other convict saw them, however, and the chase began within a few minutes. They circled towards Knox’s bridge, then down toward the Lin der farm, and seeing some people, cir cled still further back this way, and within a short time were almost within a few hundred yards of where they started. Not knowing the coun try, they thought they were getting ahead of the officers. Seeing where they were, the two men jumped from the truck and es caped into the woods. When found they were in the loft of an empty house near the old Fisher place. They gave up without resistance, not hav ing weapons on their person. They were trusties, but now must suffer for their folly, the camp guards state. One man is named McNeely, from Texas, in for 3 to 5 years on a charge of burglary, it is stated. The other, a much younger man, is named Zorn, from Augusta, Ga., in for 5 years, for a similar charge, we are inform ed. Heading the chase were Sheriff A. B. Brown, Deputy Sheriff C. L. Kay and Warden E. S. Reynolds. A large number of men joined in with the officers to apprehend the fugitives. o Resolutions On Death of Mr. D. N.

CHAUTAUQUA WILL BEGIN HERE MAY 30TH WITH BIG PROGRAM i Special Religiou* Program For Sun day, Second Day of Event— Tickets On Sale Soon Hartwell's annual Chautauqua will open Saturday, May 30, and continue through May 31, June 1,2, 3 and 4, these dates having been definitely announced by the local committee and the Chautauqua company. The Chautauqua program, adver tising and equipment is to he fur nished complete by the White and Brown Chautauqua System, of Kan sas City, one of t’O oldest and larg est Chautauqua Systems in the coun try. The local committee have con tracted to sell five hundred season tickets in order to secure the Chau tauqua for our town. Two Big Play*. The six days program is made up of twelve different types of attrac tions and promises a week of un usually good entertainment. Two of the most successful of recent New York plays will be presented. One is a comedy, “The Nervous Wreck,’’ * declared to be the funniest play New ' York has seen in years. The other is a great soul-stirring drama, “The Fool,” which ran for more than a year at one New York theatre. The play became so popular that finally nine different companies were sent out to play it throughout the cities of the country, while another com pany played in London and one in Berlin. “The Fool” is heralded as the greatest religious drama of re cent years. The cast is from New- York and is announced as unusually fine in their presentation. Our peo ple are fortunate in having two such noteworthy plays. A Varied Program. Shadwell’s Scout Band of twenty two members, is the outstanding mu sical feature. Though of high school age, they are seasoned concert play ers. While on tour into Washing ton, D. C., they substituted on a program for the celebrated Wash ington Marine Band. Other musical and entertainment attractions are the DyMond Serenadors, a male quartet with accompanists who play banjos, saxophones, and piano accordion; The Sheehan Concert Company, a standard Chautauqua attraction of four members, headed by Miss Ther esa Sheehan, reader; The Winters Company of the opening afternoon, featuring stories, whistling, and bird songs; The Kringsberg Company in an afternoon program of mysteries, rope escapes, mind reading, etc.; and a Joy Night fun program by Vernon Stone and Electra Platt, fun makers. Prominent Lecturer*. The lecturers are most interesting. Edward Amherst Ott, famous lectur er on “Sour Grapes,” gives his lec ture on “Personality and Vocation.” Dr. Ott is the author of several books and of a chart for self-guid ance in personality development which is being adopted into many businesses and schools as a help in the advancement of employees and students. Prof. W. Lee Rector, of Oklahoma Baptist University, lectures on “When the Foundations Move,” a subject particularly interesting to thinkers in religious and social work. George Emerson Francis lectures on “The Jazz Jungles,” a lecture es pecially interesting and helpful for boys and girls, fathers and mothers. A special treat comes to the ladies in the lecture by Princess Sumayeh Attuyeh, a native Syrian, but now American, on the subject of "The East and the West.” For The Youngster*. The Junior Chautauqua for the children held each morning at the tent will be in charge of a trained director, and games, stories, “pep ex ercises,” listening to music and re hearsals for the Junior Chautauqua play, will give all the holders of Jun ior Chautauqua tickets the happiest week of their lives. Other announcements will be made from time to time concerning the program, the various Chautauqua committees, the time of placing the season tickets on sale, and also the place of erecting the big tent, which comes as a full baggage car load of Chautauqua equipment including all seats, poles, platform, lighting sys tem, and scenery.
