These six things doth the Lord

to him: A proud look, a lying tongue,
and hands that shed innocent blood,
A heart that deviseth wicked imagin

to mischief, A false witness that
speaketh lies, and he that soweth
discord among brethren.—Proverbs

Letting Them Down Easy.
. Evidently the Chinese know how
to please a writer when the editor is
constrained to decline a manuscript.
The Kansas City Star quotes a re
jection slip as follows —
"Illustrious brother of the sun and
moon, behold your servant who
crawls at vour feet, who kisses the
ground before you and requests of 1
your worship permission to speak and
to live. We have perused your man
uscript with rapture. By the bones ,
of our ancest rs we swear that never 1
have we beheld the equal of this
masterpiece, but if we should print j
it we should never in the future be !
g able to find its equal. Therefore, we
return your manuscript and beg ten 1
thousand pardons. Behold, my head
:> at your feet, and I am tie servant
of your servants.”
Hart county has always loved and
revered its womanhood. No citizen
I can visit Hartwell and look at our
magnificent temple of justice but
that his or her eyes see atop the dome
the figure of a woman, “Miss Jus
tice,” as she holds in her hands the
scales. We have always been proud
of the fact that we bear the name
“Hart,” after that heroine of the
Revolutionary days, Nancy Hart.

If a man does not provide for his
children, if he does not provide for
all those dependent upon him, and if
he has not that vision of conditions
to come and that care for the days
which have not yet dawned, which
we sum up in the whole idea of thrift
and saving, then he has not opened
his eyes to pay adequate conception
of human life. We are in this world
to provide, not for ourselves, but for
others-—that is the basis of economy.
—Woodrow Wilson.
o
The Lonely Man.
He is a lonely man on a fast train.
Maybe he and his fireman do not
exchange words on a run of 50 miles.
On some engines he does not see the
fireman when he is in his seat.
During the night, when passengers
are sleeping and when only head and
tail lights are burning, when lights
in villages and towns are low, when
the countryside is silent, no one is
farther away from touch with his fel
low human beings than the engineer
in his cab. Constantly he is plung
ing into space as one goes into an
other world. Every mile of track
ahead of him is an adventure. How
much better for his own peace of
mind on these nights and long days
would it be if the automobilists, the
carriage and wagon drivers and the
pedestrians would keep away from
the crossing when the fast train, in
charge of the anxious engineer, ap
proaches.
We know of no class of men who
have greater responsibility day in
and day out than the locomotive en
gineer. It is up to all of us, then,
insofar as we are able, to keep his
burden light and we can do this by
stopping, looking and listening.—

THE HARTWELL SUN, HARTWELL, GA., MAY 22, 1925
“FOR WHAT IT’S WORTH”
By E.8.8.Jr.
I have just finished perusing the
“Hartwell High School Pep,” which
was received by the morning mail
from home. It is quite a creditable
little paper for the initial number.
It shows talent, aggressiveness and
a splendid spirit behind it. And to
me, the latter characteristic —, splen
did spirit—, is the most important,
and far reaching of all. Without
enthusiasm, work lags; a business be
comes stale; days become monoto
nous; life itself, drags wearily on,
from month to month. But, with
that joy of living, of loving one’s
work, of putting one’s while soul
behind a project, there comes hap
piness and success, immeasurably.
That has been the key-note of the
Hartwell High School these last few
years. I rejoice with them in their
fine morals in every high school acti
vity and undertaking.
Hartwell is to be congratulated on
having another Chautauqua this year.
She has had many Chautauquas in
the past, some of which have been
good, and others which have been
poor. But, as a whole they have
filled a need that comes, at least, for
one time during the year of good
wholesome entertainment at reason
able prices. There is this that can
be said about Chautauquas and that
is that their programs are all clean
and that their artists and perform
ers are, as a rule, a nice class of
people who are anxious to please
and leave a good reputation behind
them. Chautauquas serve the small
town and city as the only agency
of good entertainment that is prac
tical from a financial standpoint.
After all, the great drawback that
has sorely hurt the small town since
time immemorial has been the lack of
amusement and recreation. The
young people growing up, much as
they may love the old home town
and its people, and its quiet rest
fulness, and its simple requirements
for existing, soon tire of these qual
ities unless there is something to do.
There must be entertainment of some
kind. There must be amusements to
rest and soothe the mind. The aver
age country tow-n and city is lacking
in this, and as a result the lure of
the big city near at hand, each year
proves too much and the young fel
low moves away, perhaps never to
come back. Thankfully, Hartwell is
an exception. In the last few years,
through the aid of various agencies,
such as the Woman's Club, the Ki
wanis Club, D. A. R., U. D. C., Bre
nau Club and public spirited citi
zens, there has been a full qpota
of entertaining features each year
which has made the city an attrac
tive place to live in. In all of my
travels, I don’t believe I know of a
single city of her size which can
show so many high-class attractions
during the year. Glee clubs from

the state schools, dramatic clubs,
baseball, football, basketball, superb
county school contests regularly in
form of meets and tournaments, good
movies, golf, plenty of renowned vis
itors and speakers. All these things
help. They stamp Hartwell as a pro
gressive city on her toes. I’m hop
ing for the success of the new move
ment to form a county baseball
league.
There is no need of an extreme
on either side, but a well-balanced
program of work and play is being
recognized nowadays as the proper
system for success. Plenty of work,
of course, but, at the same time, a
period of rest at regular intervals on
which occasions work is forgotten
and the mind let to relax—, this is
the ideal system. One of the most
successful salesmen I have ever
known keeps this plan in mind. His
trips are all planned for several
strenuous weeks of hard work but
at the end of each trip there is also
set Aside several days of rest at
home. Most salesmen who travel
have a territory that enable them to
get home on week-ends, which gives
them plenty of rest. In both cases,
at the beginning of each trip they
start out fresh and well rested, and
instead of a staleness that is bound
to come after weeks of traveling,
they are full of enthusiasm and-—,
“vim and vigor.” Take a vacation
this summer! Lay aside your work,
forget your business worries, go
somewhere! It will do you good.
Out of the curious complexes that
make up the human race, one almost
ceases to wonder at the freaks that
appear in headlines in the daily pa
pers. Yet, now and then, out of the
gest of news, there comes a new
angle and a new thrill. The latest
is the thr-out being made, all over
the country for the automobile non
stop drives. In Denver, recently,
a test was made. This week
in Oklahoma City, another drive was
made. William G. Seeley, traveling
a total of 2,586 miles, driving a used
Essex sedan, established a new
world’s record for a non-stop auto
mobile drive, after moving continu
ously for 123 hours and 39 minutes,
when he stopped in front of a local
theatre Tuesday afternoon at 4
o’clock. Driving continuousely, on
and on, over every street in the city,
locked to his wheel, this man on
will power alone, made a record.
Frequently, without stopping, gaso
line was put in the tank and he went
on fighting to keep awake and the
excessive fatigue. Regularly, too,
he took nourishment while driving, of
raw eggs and milk. At the finish, as
he came to a final stop, at an ap
pointed place, he collapsed and was
rushed to a local hospital.
The reward? Well, Seeley receiv-
ed $1,293.00 for the drive, or 50c
per mile, from an Essex dealer. A
certain brand of tires were well ad
vertised. A special gasoline was put
in the lime-light, a well-known local
drink got newspaper notices. And
an Oklahoma City hospital with its
record run to the hospital was ad
vertised. Counteracting all. this, a
foolish man put his life in jeopardy
and probably ruined his health all
for money and notoriety. One won
ders where the mad scramble will
end. Certainly, wise laws should be
made to curb such hazardous under
takings.
And speaking of vacations, soon,
very soon, I shall be traipsing home
ward for my regular summer vaca
tion. Methinks a bit of golf might
help considerably and along with
home cooking and plenty of rest and
sleep, give a tired traveler a new
lease on life.

Low Country
Some flat lands are beautiful, though
Ruskin says not —the flatness of Hol
land, where a barge with rich red
color seems to corue sailing Into the
flowering fields; where a windmill or a
dyke takes all the wind of the huge
sky; where brimming rivers are pearl
gray, and the roofs of the close little
towns are red, and the lucid horizon
line is broken by, instead of moun
tains, such things as a cow feeding
or a broad-breasted woman towing a
barge, from the clean deck of which a
child sings, a little dog barks.—Allee
Meynell.
Long Hour a of Toil
A century ago (or in the so-called
good old days) Amasa Whitney op
erated a factory In Winchester, Mass.,
and, according to the American Out
look, he had sixteen rules and regula
tions, the first of which was: “The
mill will be put in operation ten min
utes before sunrise at all seasons of
the year. The gates will be shut ten
minutes past sunset from the 20th of
March to the 20th of September; at
thirty minutes past eight from the
20th of September to the 20th of
March; Saturday at sunset”
Good Businesa Idea
It was before the day of tin lizzies,
and one Kentucky merchant sold lots
of buggy harness to farmers who paid
up once a year.
One day his clerk sold a set of buggy
harness and did not charge it prompt
ly. When he did start to charge the
harness he had forgotten to whom to
charge it.
“Charge every man on the books with
a set of harness and when they raise
a kick, take the harness from their ac
count," the boss told him.
There were 180 names on the books,
and but two kicked. —Good Hardware.
