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 Sewell Clark, Jr., Ida Pauline Cle land, James Denver Cordell, Vera Mouring Cordell, Laura Amanda Crawford, Robert Louis Gaines, Jr., Louannah Gaines, Sallie Frank Hai ley, Emory Armand Haley, Mary Evelyn Harrison, George Parker Heaton, Charles Rufus Heaton.

' -o 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 < people votmg bonds by an over- n »he.’mwg majority.—Athens Banner- t H eraid. s I Counties May Vote To Pave Highway; Ask Legislature Pass Bill Being Drawn ‘CHAUTAUQUA NEWS ITEMS 1 Hours of the various entertain- J ments will be 3 and 8:30 p. m. 1 > The stores are asked to close after Saturday at 3 o'clock in order that i all may attend the programs.

C., desig nating the positions of 1,460 star*- * o (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.
