It’s as important to keep a record |
of what you owe the other fellow
and the exact date due as it is to I
keep down on paper what other peo-.
pie owe you. Promptness in meeting
your obligations is a good business i

unless they are anticipated far in ad- j

An Anti-Worry Tonic.
Worry is temperamental. Thin
men worry most. There is no sure
cure for worry, but here is a sugges
tion for an anti-worry tonic.
Put down on a sheet of paper,
fairly and honestly, all the things you
.are worrying about.
If you are worried this morning !
because your slippers were misplaced,
put it down.
If you worried because Tommy
spilled the marmalade on the table
cloth, put it down.
If you worried because the tele
phone girl gave you the wrong num
ber, put it down. What else did you
expect?
Then, when the whole dark list of
your troubles is on paper, take your
pencil and strike out those that
didn’t matter —-and see how few
there are left. Perhaps you will then
stop worrying.—O’Neil Goodwin.
“FOR WHAT IT’S WORTH”
By E.8.8..Jr.
The brave fight that Bobby Jones,
put up last week in the National
Open Championship for golf leader
ship at Worcester, Mas*., was follow
| ed with kdA interest by his hundreds ,
of friends al) over the country. Nat
urally, all of the South wanted him
fto win and naturally those who had
watched his interesting career the
last few years were pulling for him
to be successful in this great test. I
It seems almost a tragedy that he
should lose out by such a fluke at
the last moment of play and yet here
we have a true picture of this young
lad’s real worth. Bobby Jone- made
no alibis. There were no vain .re
grets. He showed his real character
and took defeat with a grin, giving
all credit to MacFarline, his victor.
If Bobby Jones never wins another
, championship his fine sportsmanship
in this last tournament will go down
in history and give him undying fame
forever.
—o—■
i After all, when we look at life
frorfl all angles it isn’t the victories
that count so much. Nor, it isn’t
the glory of success and the glamour
of leadership that really matters.
' Rather, it is what we put in our fight;
I how much sincere effort we place in
our battles; just the extent that we
1 do our best and give the other fellow
credit when we lose out. The finest
type of man today is that man that
can take defeat with a smile and
then be willing to pick up life again
where he failed and try again. To
that man whether failure or success
comes it matters little. He has done
his “bit” in making the world better.
Texas has just passed a very
stringent bad check law. Going a
little farther than any other state in
America she decrees that hereafter
those who give bad checks intention
ally shall be classed as criminals and
be punished just as thieves and bold
highwaymen. Also, as the law stands
all that the receivers of bad checks
have to do is to take their checks to

Thirty-Six Million Minute*.
Have you ever considered how you
spend your time—how much you
spend working, sleeping, eating?
If you live to be seventy, you will
have been asleep for about twenty-
I five years. If you work the usual
I work-day, you will have worked less
' than fifteen years. That leaves
! about thirty years in which you will
have been neither asleep nor at work.
Bathing and dressing will have taken
two years; eating, three years. Many
I other things have to be done away
from work. If you take five to ten ,
of your thirty years for these things, ■
you will have fifteen to twenty years
remaining to be used wisely.
Do you think you haven't time to i
rest to play? Do you believe
yourself too tired from work to en
joy life” You spend almost twice
as much time each day away from
work as you do at it. Some of your
weariness may come from what you
I do in your leisure time, and the way
you do it.—Metropolitan Life. Ins.

THE HARTWELL SUN, HARTWELL, GA., JUNE 12, 1925
i the police headquarters and the po
lice do the rest. The “hot” check
artist is speedily apprehended and
given a chance to make good and if
he doesn’t is placed behind the bars.
‘ In other words, those who give these
bad checks without sincere desire to
make good or with the idea of de
frauding, are catalogued as swindlers
and punished as such.
It has always been a mystery to
me, the attitude a great class of peo
' pie take in the matter of giving bad
checks. So many seem to feel that
there is nothing dishonest in giving
worthless paper. There are a large
number of people who deliberately
i write their signature to checks and
I knowingly are aware that there are
i no funds available. In my travels
, all over the country, I think I have
h’ad my share of bogus paper passed
|on me. And, in nearly every case,
the giver was generally highly in
sulted if he was reprimanded. I’m
wondering just exactly what psycho
logists would tell us was the reason
for this.
In this highly civilized era of ours
a great many wonderful systems have
been worked out for determining
the different human complexes. As
cording to leading thinkers of the
world, there is a reason for every
' hufnan reaction. Man moves in
some definite direction because of
some distinct reason. There are no
longer any doubts and vague reasons
for conducts. Life is worked out on
certain ideas and certain proven
rules. Every dream, no matter how
ridiculous or trivial, is a sign and
pointer for something in our lives.
I haven’t been “pschyco-analyzed”
yet, but I am seriously thinking of
taking a try at it.
The other night I sat in Tulsa,
Okla., and along with hundreds of
1 others, listened to a local symphony
1 orchestra play a difficult number. It
was a supreme test but the number
was rendered perfectly. As I sat
, and listened, for a while I forgot
I my location and to realize that I
was in a city that had only been in
existence a short span of years. I
ceased to remember that only a few
| years back that Indians roamed the
I plains and that the only sound of
’ I music in the air was tom-tom of the
I tribes on the war-path. And then
' suddenly, I awake from my reverie
’ and thought of all this in spite of
the reality of glorious music, the
’ idea just came how quickly life
1 moves and what a speedy traveler
civilization was.
For, today, out of a new-born
■ West, Tulsa has arisen with a startl
ing magic. A marvelous city has
' I been created. Towering office build
’ ings, imposing hotels, splendid thea
’ tres and shops have brought a genu-
■ ine city air to this aggressive western
community. Money has helped, of
' course, but civic pride has been more
important. The West believes in
her possibilities. Tulsa, Okla., is
- delightfully aware of her rightful
’ prestige.

Did you know that Hart county is
much larger than you think it is and
that we have more land, more mules,
more farm tools, more automobiles,
money, notes and accounts, merchan
dise and even more folks in your
community than you thought you
had?
The tax digest should at all times
be an index as to the size of any
county or of its wealth, of its vot
ing strength and interest in the gen
eral welfare of all our institutions.
Your tax digest indicates as much
what you are as do your church
buildings, your school houses, your
hotels or paved streets, or any other
manifestation of our appearance as
a progressive people.
Starting at one place near the
county line you find 110 acres of
land, three mules, two Ford cars,
three cows, two wagons, two houses
full of fixtures and three men more
than twenty-one years of age and
none of this property has been taxed
in five years and these men have not
even paid poll tax. The school house
is not very good, the roads are bad
and yet some of these folks complain
about the commissioners not build
ing better roads and that the board
has not helped them with a better
school.
Going back a little southeast you
will find another tract of land, oh,
just sixty-five acres, a couple of
mules, a Ford car, a cow, a nigger
and a few beds. No taxes, no
schools, no roads.
Going back west you will find two
more tracts of land and just across
the creek another farm, crossing back
to this side of the creek you will
find fifty acres of land, a mule, a
nigger and a Ford.
The few tracts of land mentioned
above are but a small part of the
vast area of land not taxed in Hart
county and when all the land has
been found it will be but a small part
of the immense wealth that has been
left off the digest for a generation.
It is not because the majority of
our people are not willing to do
right about paying taxes, but many
of the folks are sure that we have
no protection when complete re
turns of property are made, while so
many millions of property was not
taxed, compelling a higher rate.
It is not much trouble to find a
farm, a mule, a Ford in the country
or to look over the residence section
of a town and find a house or a va
cant lot, a grocery store and size
it up, classify it and get the owner
to return it.
The owner of a small estate either
in the country or in town will show
a willingness to cooperate, but some
times you may step upon marble
floors, looking for certain classes of
merchandise or securities and a dele
gation is soon on its way to the Gate
City to see if Mr. Fullbright won’t
put a stop to this foolishness.
Marble, merchandise and securi
ties regardless of the owner are not
more sacred in Hart county than are
Fords, mules, beds and small estates
and the owners of all property should
set an example of making complete
returns of all of it so that paving
may be done upon the right founda
tion and that schools and roads may
be built so that the farmer can enjoy
his share of the good things that
come to us from a just system of tax
ation.
A man that is opposed to the Tax
Equalization Law is either ignorant
of conditions or he is defending the
tax dodger.
