Our Belled Buzzard.
The Anderson (S. C.) Daily Mail,
after reading about one of Georgia’s
belled buzzards in last week’s Sun,
remarks:
“That old buzzard was about again
due for a line of personals from the
Georgia newspapers, as it has not had
its name in the papers for several
months. According to the newspa
pers that old buzzard has been pay
ing periodical visits throughout Geor
gia for the past fifty years, and we
insist that its bell should be worn
out by this time, and it be provided
by a new one.”
o
Keep Praying.
Some business men were holding
a conference over their affairs. The
outlook was rather gloomy. Finally
one of the men remarked: “We must
keep praying.” He spoke almost un
consciously; he was giving audible
expression to his innermost thoughts,
but his words gave encouragement to
his associates for they knew he was
sincere. *
Prayer is the greatest help in busi
ness affairs and in public affairs
as well. Prayer, in the right spirit,
will carry us through. If the things
we have been doing, or the positions
we have taken, are wrong, we will
find the mistake through prayer and
will have the strength and the cour
age to correct it. And any endea
vor on any other basis is futile.—
Spartanburg Sun.
o
Buy Mountain Camp.
Through the efforts of its officers
and members of the camp committee,
the Georgia Press Association will
soon come into possession of a per
manent camp’ in the heart of the
mountain region of North Georgia.
The camp sight is near Sawtooth, on
the Tallulah Falls railroad, and on
which is located a number of cot
tages, garages, assembly hall, etc.,
all equipped with water and electric
lights. The transfer of title to the
property will be made in the next
few days with promise of possession
about September Ist. A construction
company are the original owners of
the property, which will complete its
present project and turn over same
to its new owners at the time above
stated. These cottages are to be
furnished by members of the Georgia
Press Association and occupied by
them and their families as summer
homes and for annual meetings of the
association.—Butler Herald.

o
A Great State.
The annual report of the Georgia
commissioner of agriculture shows
that the state’s agricultural products
in 1924 totaled in value $27,000,000
more than the previous year. The
estimated value of Georgia crops in
1924 was $263,085,896.
Commenting on these figures, Com
missioner Brown said: “The increased
production in the cotton crop is re
sponsible for the greater part of this
increased .value, although there are
several contributing causes for this
upward trend in the production and
value of Georgia’s agricultural pro
ducts.”
Georgia is growing, at this rate,
more than a million dollars worth of
crops every four years.—lndustrial

THE HARTWELL SUN, HARTWELL, GA., JULY 3, 1925
“FOR WHAT IT’S WORTH”
By E.8.8.Jr.
The paving project for Hartwell as
mapped out by the latest plans are
ideal. A petition is being circulated
around town calling for an election
to be held at an early date to vote
on paving Hartwell’s main street,
namely, the highway street which
passes through the center of town.
As planned now, the paving will com
mence at a spot somewhere near the
campground and continue through
the city on to the fork of the road
where the two bridge roads lead to
Hailey’s and Alford’s bridges, re
spectively. A finer idea could not
be conceived. As a civic asset this
strip of pavement will prove of un
told value to Hartwell and the com
munity. While the election is yet to
be held there is little doubt but that
the result will be unanimously in fa
vor of paving.
With all of the problems and per
plexing situations the automobile has
brought to the country at large these
few years, it is generally conceded
that through tjie automobile, and
automobile alone, good roads have
been built throughout America. Lone
ly hamlets have become flourishing
cities. Country communities have
grown to progressive towns; Sill of
America has been linked together by
reason of fine highways and roads
and as a people we have come doser
together and to know each other bet
ter. The automobile has done this.
The newly-built highways, being a
natural consequence. In and around
Hartwell, every town and city—, our
neighbors—seem close-by friends.
We hop in a car and in a remarkably
short time we are in Royston, or La
vonia, in Elberton, or Anderson. Do
you remember that day, not so long
past when after an early start from
Hartwell we “poked” along with car
riage and horse after a half-day’s
rade, finally reached Anderson? Or,
perhaps their was a ball came on, in
Royston, and we hurriedly ate our
dinner and with buggy and horse
“set out” for that distant town get
ting there, hot, and dirty, barely in
time for the game! That day seems
a long ways back in ancient history
but truly it hasn’t been such a long
time ago. Granting that the auto
mobile has been a serious load on the
financial burden of the country, there
Ijave been other compensations that
have made up for every fault and
blemish. •
Just a matter of fifteen, or more
minutes’ ride, over a broad highway
spreading over gentle hills and peace
ful valleys, there’s a new attraction
that has drawn many Hartwell peo
ple this summer. It is the new
swimming pool of Ginn’s, constructed
just outside of Royston. With plen
ty of fresh water, situated in a de
lightful spot in a grove of protecting
trees, it has been a lure to all of
Roystbn and the surrounding towns.
Ginn’s pool is an extremely well
planned bathing place with sides and
bottom of concrete and a plentiful
supply of cold, refreshing water. In
the day-time it is the playground of
a number of visitors and at
nights ’till 10 o’clock, the closing
time, attractively lighted and chap
eroned as it is, the crowds continue
to come ’till the time is up. Hart
well is to have, at her Country Club,
just such a pool by next summer, at
least. Already the Country Club has
the sportiest little 9-hole golf course
in the near vicinity and with a little
more age, it will have few equals.
Tennis courts have just been opened.
A club-house will be built in the near
future. And with all these attrac
tions grouped conveniently near
Hartwell, a real play-ground will be
available and plenty of entertain
ment for the visitor and native-born
be provided. -
After all, though 4ife must neces
sarily be a serious thing, there should
be moments of relaxation and
amusement. It was not intended for
man to spend all his time at serious
tasks and perplexing struggle. The
mind needs rest, the body seeks di
verting exercises, the soul must have
an outlet for expression. Work does
none of this. So, when we, after an
honest day’s toil turn the key in
store door or lock the office for the
night, there should be a few hours
of play and then homeward bound,
forgetting the troubles of the day
’till the night is past. In small town
life, it is many times a hard matter
to find suitable recreation and re
laxing amusement. Fortunately, in
Hartwell’s new Country Club, a hap
py solution to the whole problem has
been found.
I suppose if the truth were known,
and each man of us had our hearts
searched and our souls probed, many
strange things would be drawn to
light and exposed to view. Man, in
his most lucid moments is a baffling
mixture of emotions. Man, in his
most understandable moods presents
to us a complex nature. So many of
us go through life, probably victims
of circumstances, choosing our pro
fessions and careers in a hap-hazard
way, then sticking doggedly to the
task, afraid to let go. The doctor
wanting to be the merchant. The
lawyer inwardly wishing for a farm
er’s life. The traveler dreaming of
a resting place. The capitalist not
really hoping for more industries to
captain but for simpler things such
as travel and rest with perhaps fish
ing, and hunting, and golf thrown in.
Suppressed desires! I wonder how
many there are of us who carry se
crets locked in our hearts! Person
ally, though happy as I am, in my
chosen work, there are times when
I would like to forget the never
ceasing call for work.and the strug
gle from year to year and sit back
in some “Utopia” finding unrestrain
ed time for neglected music and de
layed. reading, and finding time, too,
for a fling at writing and—, “sup
pressed desires.”
I was walking in the little city of
Norman, Okla., a few years ago, a
friend and I, and w'e passed by a
I
new house in the process of con
struction. And as we came nearer
and paused, I noticed a workman
hammering away in carpentry work
and though he was all begrimed, and
hot, and tired, there was a happy
look on his,face. And I looked again
and I saw that his hair was gray
and on his face was the mark of re
finement and high intelligence. And
my friend noting my questioning
look, told me about this man and a
strange story it was but true just
the same. Os how once upon a time
this old man had been a learned
professor in the University of Okla
homa., and had held high positions
of honor in college circles. And
time had passed and in spite of his
standing and prestige he had never
been happy. In truth, always yearn
ing and longing for other things.
Came a day, when, desperate for real
contentment he had chucked every
thing—•, position, honors, standing.
Threw it all to the winds in »one
whoop and determined to become a
day laborer with no responsibilities.
And so he did and here we were
face to face with him. And there
was a look of happiness on his face.
Life is full of such stories.

Garden Notes.
Dry weather and being behind
wflth farm work are no reasons for
neglecting the garden. Conserve
moisture and keep the crust from
forming by keeping up cultivation.
The gardener who gets the price for
vegetables looks ahead and has
things when other gardeners have al
lowed their gardens to go to waste.
Remember to make successive plant
ings, keeping in mind the surplus
needed for canning.
Do not cultivate the beans while
the foliage is wet.
Deeply planted tomato plants will
stand drouth much better than the
shallow planted. It is now time to
start late tomatoes by planting seeds
or transplanting young plants.
Vacant spaces in the garden are a
loss. Fill them.
Plant sugar corn between the snap
bunch bean rows and beans between
the corn rows.
You can't afford not to have suc
cessive plantings coming along.
Strawberry beds that have given
three good crops should be plowed
up and plans made for renewing.
When the berry crop is off. remove
the mulch and cultivate. The first
runners will give the best and the
strongest plants. Allow these to take
root if you need more plants.
Control of Worms and Beetlas.
The worm boring into canta
loupes, commonly called the pickle
worm, is very difficult to control.
Early planting is the best method of
control. Spraying with arsenate of
lead does some good although not
altogether satisfactory.
Method of spraying:
One pound of powdered arsenate
of lead.
Three pound;' '' ' '<?.
Fifty gallons ... w.,.er.
Mix and thoroughly spray vines
about once each ten days from the
time they begin to bloom until just
before the melons ripen.
To control the striped cucumber
beetle dust with calcium arsenate
mixed with eflual parts of hydrate of
lime or spray with arsenate of lead
at the rate of three to five pounds
to fifty gallons of 'water. If bor
deaux mixture is being used, the ar
senate of lead may be mixed with
this spray.

lowing recipes:
Pe.eh Pickle.
Ten pounds peeled peaches, four
pounds sugar, one quart of vinegar,
one tablespoon old cloves (crushed),
one tablespoonful sticked cinnamon
(crushed), one cup hot water.
Method:
Pare peaches and drop in cold
water immediately to save their col
or. Put sugar into preserving ket
tle with one cup of hot water, boil
and skim, add vinegar and spicese
(tied in cheese cloth bag). Drain
peaches well and drop in boiling
liquid, cook until you can pierce eas
ily with a straw. Pack in sterilized
jar while hot and process one min
ute.
Fig Preserve*.
Six quarts of figs, three quarts of
water, two quarts of sugar.
Method:
Peel the figs with a lye solution
of four level tablespoonfuls to one
gallon of water. (With some variety
of figs more lye is needed.) Have
figs in wire basket or small sack. Dip
in boiling lye for thirty seconds.
Then in clear boiling water for a
few seconds an dthen into cold water.
Drain well and let stand in shallow
trays in sunshine for one to two
hours before preserving. Gradually
add fruit to the skimmed boiling sy
rup which has previously been made
by boiling the sugar and water to
gether for ten minutes. Cook rap
idly until the figs are clear and
transparent. Carefully lift the fruit
out and place in shallow pans or
trays, cook syrup to 222 or 224 de
grees F., and pour hot over figs and
allow them to stand over night to
plump. Jack the figs cold in steril
ized jars, fill each jar to overflowing
with the syrup. Cap, clamp and
process eleven ounce jars for fifteen
minutes at boiling or thirty minutes
at simmering.
