ONE DAY OF BIG
, CHAUTAUQUA
REMAINS
Only one day of Hartwell’s annual
Chautauqua remains,—and there are
two of the best programs on this
Thursday that have yet been present
ed by the White & Brown company
of Kansas City, Mo.
Fine Program 4 P. M.
W At 4 o’clock Thursday afternoon
the boys and girls of Hartwell and
community will present a pageant
under the direction of Miss Price, of
Northwestern University, Chicago.
They have been preparing for this
event since the Chautauqua opened
last Saturday and this alone will be
well worth coming miles to see.
In addition to this, a feature of
the afternoon program will be the
lecture, in costume, by Miss Sumayeh
k Attiyeh, formerly of Skria.
Miss Attiyeh is recognized as a
speaker of great ability and her mes
sage will be looked forward to by
our people.
Closes With Big Program.
On this Thursday evening, begin
ning at 8:30, the Chautauqua comes
to a close with a program that prom
ises to draw a packed tent.
The Stone-Platt Co., gloom chasers
and fun makers extraordinary, will
have charge in a program that guar
antees everyone something to laugh
and think about.
Hartwell has enjoyed the Chau
tauqua this year very much. The
platform manager, Mr. W. A. Lint
ner, is from Kansas City, Mo., and
has made many warm friends here, as
have, also, the other members of the
crew, Mr. B. T. Cahoon, of Chatta
nooga, Tenn., and Mr. Ralph Riggins,
f of Kansas City.
The personnel of the White &
Brown system is of the highest type,
and their attractions have been ex
cellent all the way through.

A SYRIAN PRINCESS ,
Princess Sumayeh Attiyeh, nativs
of Syria, but American by adoption,
lectures at our Chautauqua on “The
East and the West." Her life story
thrills with adventure, and her ac
complishments under difficulties are
a compelling inspiration to all who
hear her.
GASOLINE GOES VP CENT
Gasoline now costs you exactly
27 cents per gallon, taking a rise
last Monday of one cent at all the
Hartwell stations.
First intimation of the rise came
from officials of the Standard Oil
company who stated that the ad
vance will apply to all states in this
territory, which includes Georgia,
Alabama, Mississippi, Florida and
Kentucky. Higher prices in other
states and advances in the price of
crude oil were given as the reasons
for the action.
o
Many Farmers Over Georgia
Joining Cotton Association;
Officials Happy Over Outlook
As it nears the close of its third
year, the Georgia Cotton Growers’
Cooperative association is receiving
important additions to its member
ships, according to an announcement
from Atlanta.
Officials announce that in the past
five weeks more than 1,000 cotton
producers have signed contracts to
market all their cotton through the
association for five years.
These new members furnish an in
teresting study of the growth of the
cooperative marketing movement in
the state, in that they range from the
smallest and humblest farmers to the
great producers who handle thou
sands of acres.
Officials Elated.
Officials of the association are
] elated by the recognition given the
; association by the larger cotton pro
ducers. As a general thing the big
scale farmers are better able to fi
nance their operations than the more
humble producers and therefore are
| able to sell according to their judg
ment of the market.
It was felt that the association
at the start would have to depend
largely on small-scale producers for
the great part of its cotton, since a
scientific selling system was their im
perative need.
But the larger farmers, after
watching and waiting for three years,
now’ are indicating* their approval of
the principles and management of the
association by signing contracts,
many of them coming in without so
licitation, the officials state.

Important Meeting
On Highway Route
Atlanta, Ga., June 3.—The desig
nation of important interstate roads
in the southern states will be deter
mined at a meeting of state highway
officials of these states to be held in
Atlanta on June 8. These roads will
be uniformly marked as United
States highways.
The Atlanta meeting is the out
come of the initial conference of the
joint board of interstate highways
composed of state and federal high
way officials which was held in
Washington April 20-21.
Regional meetings have already
been held in Kansas City, Chicago,
and San Francisco, and the Atlanta
conference will be followed with sim
ilar meetings in New York and Bos
ton which will have as their purpose
the selection of important interstate
roads to be known as United States
highways.
The selected routes will be desig
nated, it is said, by a number and
marked uniformly in all states with
a standard marker. Each of the
state highway departments will pre
sent at the conference a map showing
the routes within the state which in
the opinion of the department, should
be selected, and this will be the basis
for the selection of the routes, it is
said.
State highway officials from Geor
gia, North Carolina, South Carolina,
Alabama, Tennessee, Florida, Mississ
ippi, Virginia and West Virginia,
will be present at the Atlanta meet
ing, it is said by Georgia highway of
ficials.
It was pointed out by officials here
that the proposal to designate impor
tant interstate roads was the result
of discussion initiated by the Amer
ican Association of State Highway
Officials at the annual meeting of the
association held in San Francisco last
year, when the secretary of agricul
ture was asked to name a joint board ‘
to consider the question.
At the Atlanta meetings, as has ,
been the custom at previous meetings
held in other parts of the country,
proposals with respect to the form
and color of warning and directional
signs for the interstate roads will be
presented to the highway officials for
their consideration.

Uncle Sam Puts On
Better - Mailing
Campaign
While it is generally accepted that
• ] this is not the age of miracles, never-
theless, there are thousands of pa
trons of the United States mails who
take it for granted that Uncle Sam
has many wonder-workers on his pay
I roll.
The very fact that there are wi
, zards in the employ of the Post Of
fice Department—men and women
. who are uncanny, to say the least,
in deciphering illegible hand-writing
—has caused no end of trouble and
' expense to the government as well as
, to the taxpayer, along with incon
, venience in the receipt and delivery
of mail matter. '
Yet, with all this expert handling
, and careful study of hand-writing
! on the part of the postal clerks the
, annual revenue from dead mail mat
, ter received by the government
amounts to approximately $300,000.
Last year, the Dead Letter Office
received $120,000 from the sale of
, orphaned packages which could nei
, ther be forwarded to the addresses
nor returned to the senders because
of inadequate addresses. The same
office turned into the United States
, Treasury $55,523.96 in cash removed
, from misdirected letters or found
' loose in the mails.
Postage stamps were taken from
letters or found loose in the mails
I having a value of $12,165.67, almost
. double the entire revenue of the pos
i tai service in 1789.
Three-cent fees collected for the
return to senders of letters which
. could not be delivered totaled $92,-
007.54.
But this is not half the story.
, Checks, drafts and money orders,
whose owners could not be located,
’ and amounting to $3,546,542.54 fi
nally found a resting place in the
Dead Letter Office.
For want of correct or complete
r addresses 21,000,000 letters were de
i posited in the Dead Letter Office, not
to speak of 800,000 parcels which
i had been improperly addressed or
' wrapped.
Strange to say, this depositing of
. letters and packages in the mails
. with incomplete, inadequate or in
. correct addresses and wrapping
• comes, in a large majority of cases,
from those patrons who are the most
liberal-contributors to this branch of
the United States Government.
It has been estimated by postal of
. ficials that 200,000,000 pieces of mail
. are given “directory service’’ every
i year, which means that employees
. must take time from the regular
, handling and dispatching of mail in
the endeavor to provide correct ad
dresses for this huge volume of mis
directed matter. In New York City,
alone, the cost of this service ap
. proximates SSOO every day in the
. year and the total amount through
. the country is stupendous.
While the revenue from the Dead
i Letter Office is sufficient to keep
that branch of the postal service
functioning it is not nearly enough
to pay the annual toll for support of
l the “NIXIE.”
A “NIXIE” is a letter or parcel
, so improperly addresse<l that it can
neither be delivered to the addressee
i nor returned to the sender without
special treatment. This special treat
ment costs the Post Office Depart
ment or the tax payer in the final
analysis, approximately $1,740,000
every year.
In order to lift this tremendous
burden from the shoulders of the
Post Office Department and on the
pocketbook of the American people,
the first week in June has been set
aside by Postmaster General New as
“Better Mailing Week.” An active,
nation-wide campaign will be con
ducted during that period for the pur
pose of impressing on the mailer the
necessity- from every viewpoint of
using more care in the addressing of
his mail, not only letters but parcels
as well.

Thos. R. Marshall
Died Suddenly
Washington, D. C.—Thomas R.
Marshall, of Indiana, war time vice
president under Woodrow Wilson,
died here Monday of a heart attack.
Death laid its hand on him sud
denly, just as he apparently was
recovering from illness of a week's
duration. He passed away without
a word and without evidence of
pain as he was sitting propped up
in bed, reading from the Bible.
Tentative plans were made for a
funeral at Indianapolis, under the
auspices of the Masonic fraternity,
in which he held high degrees.
Burial will probably be at Marion,
Indiana.
Accompanied by his wife, .Mr.
Marshall came to Washington a
week ago Monday. On his arrival
he went directly to the hotel com
plaining of great exhaustion. When
physicians were summoned it was
found he had suffered from a heart
attack. He regained strength grad
ually and soon was in such a condi
tion that it was possible for Mrs.
Marshall to leave the bedsjde.

H By GEORGE CLARK
All Over.
Folks, the time has come and gone
and some fifty-nine members of the
Senior Class have received their di
plomas and are now floating out up
on the waters of “undecidedness,”
inasmuch as most of them have not
decided where they are going next
year and what kind of courses they •
will take.
From the very first to the last the I
commencement was a decided sue- ,
cess. In some of the earlier pro
grams the mumps almost broke up
the programs but everything consid
ered things ran off very smoothly.
Friday night was the big time,
in that fifty-nine Seniors received
diplomas. After preliminaries Sena
tor W. W. Mundy delivered the liter
ary address. He dwelt mainly upon
the needs of Georgia and his address
was a very timely one.
After his address the following
medals and honors of distinction
were placed upon the students:
Brenau College scholarship pre
sented to valedictorian, Alice Teas
ley.
Another Brenau College scholar- '
ship presented to Eloise Temples,
who wrote the best essay on a topic
chosen by the Hartwell Brenau Club.
The D. A. R. medal to the student
in the seventh grade making the ;
highest mark in American history
was presented to Willie Pruitt.
Susan Thornton received the Illi-:

writing the best essay on the life of

"Anderion Day" Prove* Most En
joyable Event—Spirit of Good
Fellowship Prevail* Splendid
Addresses Were Made
Last Friday was “South Carolina”
Day, or, to be more exact, “Ander
son, S. C.” Day, in Hartwell, —tho
Hartwell Kiwanis Club being honored
by the presence of a number of our
neighboring State’s leading citizens,
and one does not have to go out
of our splendid neighboring city of
Anderson to find hundreds of tho
citizens who qualify as “leading.”
The session last Friday was una
nimously voted the best tne Hartwell
Kiwanis Club has ever held, certain
ly the most inspirational, for never
have the local Kiwanians enjoyed
such a round of oratory and genial
fellowship with a bunch of visitors
as they did on this occasion.
A spirit of genuine old-fashioned
fellowship between the citizens of the
two States prevailed in the session,
and The Sun representative predict*
as a result of the get-together meet
ing there will be sa closer bond of
friendship between the progressive
Anderson folk and our people.
Extending a warm welcome to the
visitors, Judge Walter L. Hodges pre
faced his remarks by saying that
Georgia had many times found in
our sister State a good leader, Geor
gia having followed right in her foot
steps when she bravely showed her
I colors at the beginning of the War
Between the States, referring to the
firing of the shot at Fort Sumter.
He told of many interesting rela
tionships between Andersen, Ander
son county, the State of South Caro
lina, and our city, county ami State,
extending to these visitors a most
cordial welcome into our midst.
Responding to Judge Hodges were
the following distinguished Anderson
citizens, representing the service
clubs named:
Lion’s Club President S. In-
Prince and Dr. J. O. Sanders.
Rotary Club Dr. B. A. Henry
and Mr. W. L. Brissey.
Kiwanis Club Col. Leon Rice, Mr.
George H. Bailes, Mr. Harold Ma
jors and Mr. W. IL Iftirlow.
These gentlemen, all prominent in
the business circles of Anderson,
gave short and, as stated above, truly
inspirational messages, along lines of
co-operation, service and good citi
zenship. Also bringing out in their
various talks facts that stood before
Carolinians, Georgians and other
Southerners as they took up the
inarch of progress and development.
Hartwell will gladly receive again
these visitors any time and they
might bring along the whole mem
berships when they come back. The
Kiwanis Club will be glad to see
them all.
Senator Mundy Present.
Among the distinguished guests of
the day was Senator W. W. Mundy,
of Cedartown, District Governor for
Georgia of Kiwanis International,
who delivered a message of good will
to the local Kiwanians, and in a few
words brought a message that will
be long remembered by all of the
"Builders” in the local dub.
Senator Mundy delivered the lite
rary address at the closing of the
schools on Friday evening.
Another visitor was KiWanian. N.
M. Lawrence, of Smithfield, N. C.»
who made a short talk to the club.
Also Rev. J. H. Nichols, of Hart
well, who urged the Kiwanians to
support the Boy Scout movement,
pledging his co-operation in this im
portant work.
Two charming young ladies added
much to the session by their pres
