Hartwell is a good place to trade

Managing Editor John Paschal and
■Ralph Smith, of The Atlanta Jour

the Atlanta Convention Bureau, were
among those passing through Hart
well last week en route to Anderson,
S. C., where they joined the motor
cade over the Stone Mountain route
to Atlanta via Knox’s Bridge, La
vonia, Commerce, Winder, etc. The
trip was made by a large number of
Georgians and Carolinians.
A Prayer.
Give me clean hands, clean words,
and clean thoughts: help me to stand
for the hard right against the easy
wrong : save me from habits that
harm; teach me to work as hard and
play as fair in Thy sight alone as if
the whole world saw-; forgive me
when I am unkind, and help me to
■forgive those who are unkind to me;
keep me ready to help others at some
cost to myself; send me chances to
-do a little good every day and so
■kxrow more like Christ.” —Wm. De
■KVitt Hyde.
WHAT’S YOUR CREED AS A
CITIZEN OF THIS COMMUNITY?
N? matter where you live, nor
what town or county you live in, you
should make boosting for your town
and county part of your creed. It’s
a poor citizen who isn’t loyal to his
home town and county. Some times
when we hear folks elaborating on
the advantages of other sections and
casting reflections on their home town
and county, we can’t help but think
that they are poor citizens, and that
all would be better off if they would
move on. If you can't boost the
town and county in which you live,
move to one you can boost—that’s
part of our creed.
A friend dropped in yesterday and
handed us the following, saying that
it read so good to him that he
thought it would be worth printing,
and said he would like to see the
people of Hartwell and Hart county
subscribe to some such creed. What
do you think of it?
A Citizen’s Creed.
If you belong to a church you are
supposed to have a creed —and live
up to it. If you belong to a lodge
you subscribe to its creed. So why
not a citizen’s creed, one that we
can all subscribe to and carry out
as faithfully as we carry out our re
ligious creed or our lodge obliga
tions? We’ve been thinging it over
of late, and we’ve devised one we
feel every citizen can adopt with ben
efit to himself in particular and the
whole town in general. Here it is
—memorize it, and then see how
faithfully you can live up to it:
“I believe in Hartwell and its pos
sibilities, and I shall do my part to
make it a better place in which to
live.
“I believe in good government for
my home town, and I shall assume
my share of the responsibility that
rests on the shoulders of all our citi
zens.
"I believe in supporting local en
terprises that help community devel
opment, and I will contribute my
moral support and energy to any
movement for the best interest of the
town.
“I believe in patronizing home
merchants, for they are greatly re
sponsible for our having good schools
and churches.
“I will boost my home town at
every possible opportunity, and al
ways speak a good word for it wher
ever I may be—l will do my part
toward making it the best town in
America because it is my HOME
town.”

THE HARTWELL SUN, HARTWELL, GA., JUNE 26, 192 S
“FOR WHAT IT’S WORTH”
By E.8.8..Jr.
The annual report made by the j
committee in charge, on the Univer-•
sity of Georgia’s crippled condition
is, indeed, a pitiful message. It is
a serious condemnation of the State’s
attitude towards higher education.
For, of all the colleges and Univer
sities of Georgia, surely the state’s
own institution should be worthy of
the name and should lead rather than
follow. What is happening in Geor
gia, has happened in many other
states of the country. The annual
legislative appropriation is just a
drop in the bucket. The state school
is left to struggle along each year
the best she can. Many of her best
instructors and educators are lured
away to other schools by more lucra
tive positions. Her buildings go to
rack and ruin. In short, nothing less
than a miracle keeps these state uni
versities intact and running from
year to year. It has been that way
at “Ga.” for many years and it has
been that way at many other state
schools of my observation. The
great state of Texas with all of its
wonderful power and its splendid re
sources, support the state university
which numbers six thousand stu
dents, in a half-hearted way. Ac
tually, there are several wooden
shacks on this campus where classes
are held! And yet we can not lay
all the blame to our legislatures.
While there does exist a certain
amount of prejudice amongst the
legislators, the chief reason for the
ridiculous appropriations is the lack
of money. The state has none, and
until some new form of taxation is
created or some practical way to cre
ate revenue is worked out, there will
always be a deficit in the state cof
fers.
It is regretable that the trustees of
the University of Georgia did not see
fit to select a new chancellor imme
diately. In the resignation of Chan-*
cellor Barrow, the State University
loses a valuable man. A man who
was loved and respected as few men
ever are. His regime at Athens was
marked by its simplicity and its
pronounced success. Now, that he
has stepped out it will be hard to se-1
lect a man fully as capable and as
useful, but the trustees should have
made somp selection at this time
rather than put the matter off until
September as they have done. Re
ports from all over the state are,
that the alumni are very dissatisfied
over the whole situation and it is
said during the recent commencement
vigorous protest was voiced at the
alumni meeting. The writer is of
the opinion that no finer man could
be found to fill the place of Chan
cellor of the University of Georgia
than Dr. Andrew M. Soule. Not
only is he highly educated but with
all of his other splendid qualities, he
is foremost, a business man. And the
University needs just that.
Tennessee's new Evolution law is
to be tested in a few days at the
little town of Dayton, Tenn. At
that time, distinguished men from all
parts of the country will gifther at
the court house and either be inter
ested spectators or participants, in
the trial of a young high school in
structor for his views on Evolution.
It is now against the law to teach
Evolution in the schools of Tennes
see. In the present trial, the of
fender in spite of the drastic law,
went right ahead and in this little
country school proceeded to give his
ideas on Evolution. He was imme
diately haled to court.

“OH, IT’S FLORIDA”
Oh, it’s Florida, it’s Florida,
That’s where I am gwine.
Where dreary winter never comes,
Where the sun doth always shine.
I start up my motor car in
New York or Washington, D. C.,
Take the road for Daytona Beach
And Hollywood-By-The-Sea.
I go through Coral Cables
And on down to Tampa Bay,
Where ships of all the nations
Both come in and sail away.
I leave my home in Pittsburg
In the winter’s snow and ice,
I head my car for the Southland
For that new found paradise.
From Boston down through Georgia
And all along the route —
It’s Florida, oh, it's Florida,
That’s all they talk about.
It's Florida, oh, it's Florida,
I am gone if I have to fly,
Where time flies on golden wings
And folks there don’t ever die.
Where the beauties throng the
beaches.
Where Bahama supplies the wine,
Where starlight nights hold romance,
Where the Golden Shekels shine.
I invest my thousand dollars,
Then lease me one little shack,
Fish and play in the sunshine
Then I get ten thousand back.

study is a dangerous subject. Ten
nessee is quite right when she bans
the study of it, as prepared for the
average pupil. In its superficial
study, it is a direct and subtle at
tack on the Bible. It is only through
thorough and intensive research that
it assenfbles anything near the truth
of the matter. For, the deeper and
real gist of Evolution is not the sup
position that we all came from mon
keys, but the saner study of the dif
ferent eras of development of man
and how the world has gone on from
one stage to the next. It will be
interesting to have Mr. Bryan’s
views on this matter, at the trial.
Generally speaking, this wise old
gentleman usually knows what he’s
talking about when he speaks, and
nearly always his views are correct.
On these hot summer days, loung
ing around Haileys’ or Herndons’,
watching the hands of the clock go
around ’till the hour of golf, the main
attraction is the passing tourists.
Little cars and big cars, all—, here
they come and there they go. Most
ly they are going to the mountains
of North Carolina, but many there
are, too, who are speeding towards
Florida. Funny, what appearances
mean in this world! The big Pack
ard breezes up and comes to a stop.
One or two passengers, perhaps, get
out for a few minutes’ rest or re
main seated in the comfort of Pack
ard prestige. The crowd stares and
curiously wonders who the strangers
are, and where they’re going and
how they made their money. And
then a lowly Ford sputters in, radi
ator steaming, dusty, dirty, worn.
Passengers hot and travel-worn. Per
haps, “Tin Can Tourists”—at any
rate, the crowd never gives them a
tumble. They are ignored and for
gotten and if a glance is bestowed
upon them, it is with pity and puz
zlement —, wondering WHY anybody
would leave home for a pleasure trip
in such style. You know they say
in Florida, the “Tin Can Tourist”
comes down there with a clean shirt
and a five dollar bill (that’s all) and
doesn’t change, either!
With all the passing tourists, along
with the curious glances we rest upon
them, they, as well, are studying us.
No stranger ever goes through our
town without getting some sort of im
pression, either good or bad, of the
place. Mostly, I think, it is a good
impression we make. Hartwell peo
ple are cordial. They are hospitable.
They are good mixers and are pleas
ingly obliging in all the little cour
tesies that impress a stranger. I
know this is true because I have had
many out-of-town friends tell me
this. Just the other day, a friend of
college days lingered on in Hartwell
on business ovpr his allotted time.
He confessed to me it was because
Hartwell was different; the folks
were friendlier; the spirit of opti
mism more in evidence. “And be
sides all that,” he said, “there’s some
other quality I like about yous town
and that is, your people think lots
of themselves afid have plenty of civ
ic pride.”
Going on still further in discussing
the town the only criticism he had
that was uncomplimenting, was our
streets. Os rough and bumpy, and
hardly passable highways, there were
many. Os smooth, pleasant riding,
joy-giving town thoroughfares, there
were few (if any.) “And that’s
what they all say.” Hartwell’s city
streets are in the worst condition in
her history. Surely, something could
be done, and should be done.
Judge Charles H. Brand
The recent honor accorded Con
gressman Charles H. Brand of Ath
ens, in his appointment to the Na
tional Democratic Congressional Com
mittee is a well deserved distinction
and a recognition of the splendid
qualities of the man and of his val
uable services not only to his own
Congressional District, but to the
citizens of the state at large.
Judge Brand is one of the most
popular of Georgia’s Congressmen.
Georgians in Washington who are
near to the scene of action and who
know the real worth of Georgia’s
legislative representatives, unani
mously elected him as honorary pres
ident of the Georgia State Club
there. He is a man of ideals, far
removed from the class of hand-shak
ing politicians. He is generously
and generally interested in Georgians
without thought of section, and
makes their needs and desires his
personal concern.
Georgians who know and admire
Judge Brand watch with interest his
splendid record, and rejoice when
his faithful service to Georgia and
her interests is fittingly rewarded.

WEEKLY SMILE
(C.J.T.—Phila.,Pa.)
What has become of modesty? Is
there no such thing any more? From
the way women are dressing these
days it appears that they have reach
ed a state of don’t care. When
“X-ray skirts” first made their ap
pearance, everybody gasped, j. Then
the short skirt with the slit in the
side. Following that the dress
lengths became shorter until they
reached the knees. Now, the sum
mer styles are dresses above the
knees with stockings rolled below the
knees with dimpled knees showing.
What wil the styles of 1926 be? Os
1927 and 1928? Will it continue to
get worse? When will the end be
seen?
A Philadelphia doctor invented an
instrument called a bronchoscope
which removes articles from the
windpipe and lungs. Thousands of
babies’ lives have been saved since
this invention has been in use. Chil
dren have been rushed from all parts
of the country to Philadelphia to
have safety pins, collar buttons, etc.,
removed from their lungs. Recently
a six-year-old boy was brought to
Philadelphia from Fallis, Oklahoma,
and a small bolt which had been in
his lung for a month was removed.
An interesting thing to me, these
hot days, is to see a fellow drinking
a hot cup of coffee while the sweat
is just pouring off of his forehead.
It seems to me that it would be bet
ter for him to go to a drug store and
buy caffene in a powdered form and
“shoot” it into his arm with a
needle. Why go through all the
misery which follows drinking a hot
drink -on a hot day, just to get the
“kick” from that little drug, caf
fene? Again, I ask, are some of us
slaves to this little drug? The drink
that “touches the spot” with me on
a hot day, is good old lemonade,
“made in the shade and stirred with
a spade.” It “tones the liver up to
a fine pitch” and makes you enjoy
life more. Frankly, I can almost
drink a gallon at one sitting if the
weather is very warm. Again, I re
peat, “you can’t get away from your
raisin’.” My father used to buy
lemons by the box for our home.
The Philadelphia newspapers have
been running a collar button contest
for the past few weeks to find out
who has the oldest collar button still
in use. One man reported having
wor ma gold plated button 41 years.
I wonder if there is anybody in Hart
county who can beat that record. A
Philadelphia man reported having
used a pocket knife 39 years.
Including the appendix, there are
185 parts of the body which doctors
have never been able to find uses
for and, yet, old mother nature con
tinues to tack these different parts
onto all new-born babies. A man

their appendices and, yet, their off
spring will all have appendices.
Which goes to prove that man still
has a whole lot to learn.

I have just returned from my first
week-end trip to Atlantic City this
year and I am going through real
torture caused by sunburn. Every
one kho goes in bathing must go
through this agony once a year. In
spite of the recent hot spells, the
water was like ice. It takes the old
“pond” until about August every
year to get warmed up. Bathing
costumes are more “attractive” this
year than ever before. Bathing suits
with skirts are extremely passe and
the modern one-piece suits adorn all
of the females. Stockings are no
longer worn by the girls and the
beach presents a picture equal to
that of the most vivid imigination.
-
Atlantic City is fast becoming a
second Coney Jsland; its kind
have flocked there in such great num
bers it is losing its attraction for
countless numbers of people. They
have turned the Boardwalk into an
auction alley and gambling conces
sions are more numerous than ever.
Tonight when my wife and I re
turned from Atlantic City, we stop
ped in at one of the Automats for
supper. For the benefit of some who
may not know what an Automat is
I will explain that this is a restau
rant where everything is obtained
by dropping nickels in slots. You
drop in one nickel for a cup of cof
fee. You drop in two nickels and
out comes a piece of pie and so on.
You can buy anything that is usual
ly found in any good cafeteria in
these places by putting nickels in
the slots. My wife and I were in
the line of customers picking out
food when all of a sudden I walked
ahead of her to get something a
little farther down the line. An
other man stepped in where I step
ped out. He put in three nickels for
Boston Baked Beans. My wife
didn’t look up and knowing that I
shouldn’t eat beans on account of
indigestion she said without looking
up, “Why, you shouldn’t buy beans,
they’ll swell you up.” Then, to her
complete astonishment, she looked
up and saw that she was not talking
to, me but to a complete stranger.
The stranger laughed for he knew
that she had made a mistake.
