These six things doth the Lord hate; yea, seven are an abomination to him: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, A heart that deviseth wicked imagin ation, feet that be swift in running to mischief, A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.—Proverbs B:16-19, o Welcome! Women of the Eighth District Federated Clubs! —o Friendship is always wrecked when not steered in a straight course. ■ ——o— —— ■ . The Commencement exercises be gin Friday evening at 8:30 o’clock. o The way of the transgressor is usually hard on his wife and chil dren, too. o . "Where there is no vision the peo ple perish." That’s true. Also where there’s no provision. o A big city daily newspaper is try ing to locate America’s bravest man. We nominate the judge at a baby show. 0 Controlling yourself is about the best thing you can learn before try ing to put the brakes on the other fell«w. o Ye*. "Drinking this 1925 brew might net be a sin," says old Jeseph .Jenes, ■"but it’s wages are the same.” The Chinese, we are informed, cease eating roast dog as they be come modernized. To eat “hot ■xlogs,” pehaps, like we Americans. o Hart is the only county in the State of Georgia, and one of few in the entire South, named for a woman. We are proud of the dis tinction. We wonder if anyone can tell us anything better to mix up with a big dinner than two or three glasses of that thick, ice-cold delightful but termilk we’ve been talking about? Hartwell and Hart county are de lighted and honored to have the an nual session of the Eighth District Federation of Women’s Clubs meet here th.s Thursday and Friday. —o Happy Day*. The sweet girl graduate will soon be with us again. Yes, and with that bouquet tied with a long ribbon, and with class prophecy, and with class poem and with nothing but happiness on the horizon.—Lavonia Times. o Admission to the Chautauqua at tractions cost only a little over 20c when you buy a Season Ticket. There are twelve big numbers. Ad mission to the two Broadway plays alone will cost $1.50. Be sure to get a Season ticket and see the whole program. o A Wise Bootlegger. It is possible to be a criminal and not a complete fool. Harry Valkes, of Pittsburg, makes and sells boot leg whisky. He tells the judge: "It is all right to sell, but to drink myself, nothing doing. Only fools drink now; wise ones sell.”: —Arthur Brisbane in Atlanta Georgian. o Many Forgot the Grand Old Butter milk After We Pasted Three- Mile Limit. Louie Morris promised to take a jug of the grand old buttermilk on the press trip, but, if he did, he drank it all himself. We had rea son to believe that there was some thing stronger than buttermilk on that ship.—Commerce News. o 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. a O 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.— From Memphis Commercial Appeal. o One great danger about telling a lie is that it may be believed.—Kal amazoo Gazette. Now if Mr. Burbank will try cross ing the asparagus and the cabbage to evolve a ready-made cigar.—De- troit News. — r o OLD JOE JONES SAYS— l°ve the dear ladies, too » so don’t leave me J out of this special wel- * come edition.

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.

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. ——o 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.
