HART COUNTY OFFERS MANY OPPORTUNITIES TO THE HOMESEEKER 8 PAGES IN THIS ISSUE VOL 49 Stone Mountain Confederate Memorial v ' Committees Will Put Over Hart County’s Quota On 13th Patriotic Citizens of Hartwell and Hart County Will Buy New Half Dollar Coins To Help Cause The first shipment of the newly coined Confederate Memorial half dollars, minted by the United States Government at Washington, have been received by the two banks of this city, The First National Bank and The Hartwell Bank. The coins will be simultaneously released throughout the nation on Saturday of this week, June 13th, and the citizens will very likely take up the allotment for Hartwell and Hart county on this day. Two Million Were Coined. As less than two million of the Memorial coins are available to the entire South at this time, the South ern Bankers Committees, arranging details of their distribution has al located only a limited number to each city and county in the various Southern states. Once these quotas are exhausted 'no further coins are obtainable. The issuance of these commem orative coins by the National Gov ernment is an event of the greatest significance to the South. It is a gesture of friendliness on the part of the nation to which the South will spontaneously respond. Not only do these coins have a high sentimental value through this national recognition of our South ern heroes, but they also possess an additional worth since the modest premium at which the coiris are sold goes to the completion of the great monument to the Confederacy be ing carved at Stone Mountain, Ga. Bankers Head Drive. Hons. J. H. Skelton and R. C.' Thornton, leading citizens and bank ers, head the drive in Hart county for the Memorial Coins. They have requested the following committees to meet them at The Hartwell Bank on Saturday morning at 10 o’clock and receive the coins for distribution: Woman’s Club. Mrs. J. E.

Massey Urges All City Delivery Patrons To Place Receptacles Conveniently Postmaster J. C. Massey is in re ceipt of a letter from the First As sistant Postmaster General, Mr. Jno. H. Bartlett, Washington, calling at tention to the fact that families de siring to make use of the city de livery of mail must provide the nec essary receptacles or slots in which mail matter may be deposited by the carriers. The matter of boxes, especially in city delivery has always been a se rious problem with the post office department and patrons are asked to take an interest and see that all residences are provided with some kind of box or other receptacle thus aiding the department and the car riers in giving the public the kind of service they would like to have. "It is the desire of the Post office Department to give you the best ser vice possible,” said Postmaster Mas sey Monday, “and your co-operation will mean much toward bringing this about. I cannot stress too much on the patrons of the Hartwell of fice the great importance of having ma'il addressed to their street, box number of R. F. D., as the case may be, and in addition a receptacle for the deposit of mail by the carrier when he arrives. By doing this you are not only helping the post office carry out the plans of the Postmas ter General, but at the same time helping your own service. Following is the letter sent from the office of the First Assistant Postmaster General: Washington, I). C. To all Postmasters having City De livery Service: There must be no laxity of dis crimination in the enforcement of the instructions of the department of August 25, 1922, requiring that all who receive mail by street Cur riers at their dwellings should pro vide a door slot or receptacle for the deposit of their mail by the car rier. 1 No particular kind of receptacle is required or prescribed, the simplest form of slot or box is acceptable, the expense is neglible and any one is carpenter enough to*do the work. Postmasters shall arrange with carriers to report all dwellings not ; provided with these conveniences, and shall serve the occupant of such j dwellings with notice to provide I within a reasonable time receptacles of some kind. Further reference is made to my | instructions of November 17, rela- I tive to this subject. This is by the direction of the Postmaster General. JOHN H. BARTLETT, First Assistant Postmaster Gen. o Champion Snake Story For Season Has Come To Pass The champion snake story of the , season has happened, And The Elberton Star recently recorded the facts as follows: Mr. J. K. Bond, employee of the city of Elberton at the electric light plant on Beaverdam creek, killed a large king snake last Friday that has been robbing him of from a gal ton to a gallon and a half of milk daily for some time. Mr. Bohd has a very fine cow. It had been giving four gallons of milk daily for ions’ time, until recently when the quan tity without apparent cause dropped down to three gallons and then to two and a half. The rapidly di minishing amount of milk given by his fine cow perplexed Mr. Bond to such an extent that he set about to find out the cause. He noticed his cow would browse around the creek for some hours and then go up on the hillside and low, as if calling for her calf. He watched her last Fri day when she did this, and found that she was calling for a snake to come and relieve her distending un der, and that the snake answered the cal). He caught the snake in the act of sucking the cow, and killed it. Since that time his cow has been giv- ' ing the accustomed four gallons of ' milk per day. «—o Convict Camp Inspector Issues Good Report Here ' < Mr. J. M. Burke, State Convict ’ Camp Inspector, was a visitor to ' Hartwell last Friday, coming here to ’ inspect the convict camp and the 1 men. He reports everything in excellent ’ shape, the camp sanitary, the men i well cared for and general conditions ' fine. j Mr. Burke complimented Warden I Early S. Reynolds and his assistants for their good work. He also stat ed that Hart county has a Sheriff in I A.

Classroom work at each of the in stitutes will begin 1 on time the first day and continue six days during each week, without interruption.

Teachers attending these summer schools are requested to take with them copies of the state-adopted texts for use in the courses which they in tend pursuing. They should also make application to the principles of the A. & M. schools at once. In addition to the regular faculty at each of the 13 summer schools, a corps of special itinerant lecturers have been secured. These lecturers include Georg" Godard, J. O. Martin, Miss Caro Lane, I. S. Smith, Miss Annie Jane Simpson, M. L. Duggan, Miss S. M. Duggan, R. D. Webb, Dr. Abercrombie and Dr. Jett Bowden, of the state health department; I’. F. Brown, E. A. Pound, S. V. Lanford, J. I’.

Side Application of Fertilizer To Corn Pays Good Return The use of nitrogen has shown to be profitable in experiments with corn carried on by thf State College of Agriculture, and now is the time to make a side application to the crop, says L. V. Davis, supervisor of fertilizer investigations throughout the state. The State College recommends that the fertilizer be applied in the form of nitrate of soda or sulphate of ammonia between the time the corn is knee high and waist high. From 100 to 200 pounds of nitrate of soda or 75 to 150 pounds of sulphate of ammonia per acre is advised. The most profitable fertilizing of corn will vary greatly under differ ent conditions, says Prof. Davis. If a heavy application of fertilizer, as for cotton, was made to the preced ing crop there will be much less needed for supplying phosphoric acid than if the preceding crop was not heavily fertilized. Results of experi ments by the College indicate that in general the use of phosphoric acid will be profitable and that on the • very sandy lands of the coastal plain the use of potash is necessary and will prove profitable. It is recommended that where eith er phosphoric acid or potash are used they be applied in the row at plant ing time. If, however, these two fer tilizing elements were not applied at planting time, they may be applied now with benefit if the crop is not too far advanced. o Rural Letter Carriers Will Meet In Monroe Next Year The Eighth District Rural Letter Carriers will meet at Monroe in 1926. This was decided at the an nual session last week in where they had one of the most in teresting and profitable sessions they have ever held.
