Senator Mundy To Deliver Literary Address Friday Night
CHAUTAUQUA OPENS HERE SATURDAY WITH TWO BIG PROGRAMS
Two More Days of Exercises
Marking Close Local Schools
Senator W. W. Mundy, of Cedar
town, one of Georgia’s leading citi
zens, will deliver the Literary Ad
dress at the high school auditorium
Friday evening, after which diplomas
will be delivered to the largest class
in the history of the city schools.
The program Friday evening comes
as a fitting close to the week’s acti
vities, and naturally will draw the
largest attendance of any of the
programs.
A This Thursday morning at 10
o’clock the P.-T. A. exercises will
take place, followed by an exhibi
tion of work done by the various
school departments. This will be a
most interesting and profitable pro
gram.
The Hartwell High School Alumni
will have their annual meeting on
Friday afternoon at 4 o’clock. It is
expected that a large number of old
Hartwell Hi’s boys and girls will be
r there.
Began Last Friday.
Beginning last Friday evening, the
program has gained in interest and
each evening there is a crowded
auditorium to witness the events that
mark the close of the Hartwell Pub
lic Schools for 1924-25. •
First came the Grammar School
program, and while some excellent
work had been done by the little
folks before, their stunts Friday
night excelled all previous perform
ances, showing skill not onh on their
* part but those who had charge.
Sunday morning, the baccalaureate
sermon was delivered to a crowded
auditorium by Rev. W. P. King, pas
tor of the First Methodist church of
Gainesville. Rev. King was a form
er pastor of the Hartwell Methodist
church and while here was warmly
greeted by old friends. His theme
for the day, while carrying a serious
strain for the young people and the
Class of ’25, fairly sparkled with
* wit and good cheer throughout. It
was dififerent from the customary
commencement and withal one that
did his hearers good.
Monday evening the music pupils,
under the direction of Miss Mildred
Johnsbn, gave their annual recital,
which showed great talent and prep
aration.
The literary society contest on
Tuesday evening resulted in the
Maxonians being awarded the Clay
ton M. Herndon Cup, which they had
’ held the previous year. The Victor
ians, however, gave them a hard
fight for the honors.
On Wednesday night, the Senior
class presented two plays, which
drew a large house and afforded the
people a rare program of entertain
\ ment.
Those who will receive diplomas
Friday night are as follows:
Arthur Slant Adams, Robert Lee
Ayers. Earl Pelham Ayers, James
Boyce Bradley, Asa Early Brown, Jr.,
Sara Frances Buffington. Julian
Burns, Leila Maude Cason. George

BUILD THE HARD SURFACE
ROAD t
Through the efforts of Captain J. ’
W. Barnett, a movement has been in
augurated which wiil insure the (
building of a hard surface road from ]
Hartwell to Macon, Captain Barnytt .
has been engaged in the proposed ’ ,
highway scheme for some time work- t
mg out every feature to the most (
minute detail. It is planned now to (
ask for authority from the legislature ,
|to hold bond elections in the nine
counties which the proposed highway
will traverse for the purpose of build-1
:ng a hard surface road from Hart
well to Macon. A similar project
was carried through successfully in I
| south Georgia some months ago and
■ .t is the general belief that the pro
i posed plan now under way for this
• section of the State can be worked :
>ut satisfactorily to all concerned I
; through the issuance of bonds.
The building of the hard surface .
j r -ad from Hartwell to Macon via ' 1
Athens tc Macon, will be worth more <
to these communities than would the 1
building of a railroad. Tourists from 1
all sections of the nation would use t
this highway on their way to and I
‘ frt m Florida. Its building would
mean that all travel would pass I
■ through Athens thereby bringing to
this city thousands of visitors for a
stop over. I s
Representatives from all counties
interested were here Wednesday and
-hewed a live interest in the project, n
There s no doubt about the legisla-11
} ture authorizing the election and
there will be no doubt about the

(Athens Banner-Herald.)
A bill will be introduced in the
next legislature to organize the nine
counties from the Savannah river be
-1 yond Hartwell to Macon into a road
group for the purpose of issuing
j bonds to gave the Hartwell, Athens,
Madison, Eatonton, Macon highway
j from the Savannah river to Bibb
county.
This was decided at a meeting held
■at the Clarke county court house
Wednesday afternoon and attended
by a large delegation from the coun
ties involved. Ben Thompson, Mad-
I ison, presided over the meeting and
I stated at the outset that the plan con
templated would not involve the
funds of any other section of the
| State, but that the interest and prin
j cipal of the bonds issued would be
.paid out of the gasoline tax that is
now collected and which is returned
to the counties. This plan differs
’ from the Coastal Highway plan in j
that the highway depar inent has
pledged part of its income to that ;
project. Details will be worked out
by a committee that was appointed.
M uch Diacustion
The debate over the proposed |
route brought out a varied and full .
discussion of roads in general. Har
vey Granger, of Savannah, who I
sponsored the Coastal Highway Sys- 1
tern, was present and advised against i
any more grouping of counties for
paving projects. He said that a plan '
has been worked out and will be of-1
sered to the legislature for adoption
creating a number of trunk high
ways in the State, the first to extend
across the State from Chattanooga
through Atliwita to Savannah.
Mr. Granger's plan failed to gain
much support among the hearers.
After he stated that the grouping
plan, similar to the one proposed
here and which has been adopted
from Savannah to the Florida line
was inadvisable, Captain J. W Bar
nett suggested that the Coastal
Highway plan had probably better
be withdrawn, as it was injurious to
the road future of the state, seem ;
ingly.
W. R. Neel, state highway en
gineer, arrived at the meeting late
and in a few words said he had out
j lined the plan adopted to Mr. Thoinp
• son and that he saw no reason why
i it could not be adopted successfully
and the bonds taken care of out of
the gas tax.
Committee Named
The Representatives and Senators
from the counties involved were '
named, with Mr. Thompson, the
chairman, and Captain Barnett, as
secretary, as a committee to,draft ■
and put through the bill. On this |
committee are Messrs. Dußose and
