Keep Climbing. ‘
Watch an aeroplane some day as
it soars and climbs toward the zenith
accompanied by the roar of its pow
erful motor. Smaller and smaller
it grows. Fainter and fainter be
comes the hum of the motor. High
er and higher the pilot climbs. Then
silence. The motor is stopped.
Sailing gracefully as a hawk the
machine seems to remain in the
heights for a time. How beautifully
she banks the curves. How cleverly
the pilot holds his elevation.
But like everything in this world
she must either climb higher or drop
lower. Gradually she begins to grow
larger and larger until finally she
points her nose toward the earth and
gracefully alights again on terra
firma.
The life of a man and the life of
a community may be likened to the
flight of this machine. When you
stop the motor of individual effort or
community initiative, you immediate
ly begin a decent to a dead level of
mediocrity.
If you desire to improve your op
portunities year after year, you must
devpte your leisure time to those in
tellectual or mental pursuits which
will make you more efficient. If you
want Hartwell to stand forth as a
better community than the average,
you must do your part to create
more community spirit. For indivi
dual effort and community enthusi
asm are the motors which keep the
man or his city constantly climbing
to higher and better things.

CAN YOU BEAT IT?
Consider the editor! A child is
born unto the wife of a merchant
in town. The physician getteth 25
plunks. The editor writeth a stick
and a half telleth the multitude
that ‘ the child tippeth the beam at
nine pounds. Yea, he lieth even as
a certurion. And the proud father
giveth him a cigar.
Behold, the young one groweth
up and graduateth. And the editor
putteth two score and four iron
men. Yea, a peach of a notice. He
telleth of the wisdom of the young
woman and of her exceeding comeli
ness. Like unto roses of Sharon
is she, and her gown is played up
to beat the band. And the dress
maker getteth two score and four
iron men. And the editor gets a note
of thanks from the sweet girl grad
uate.
And the daughter goeth on a
journey. And the editor throweth
himself on the story of the farewell
party. It runneth a column solid.
And the fair one remembereth him
from afar with a picture postal card
that costeth six for a jitney.
Behold, she returneth, and the
youth of the town fall down and
worship. She picketh one and 10,
she picketh a lemon. But the ed
itor calleth him one of our promis
ing young men and getteth away
with it. And they send unto the ed
itor a bid to the wedding, and be
hold the bids are printed in a far
city.
Flowery and long is the wedding
notice which the editor printeth. The
minister getteth his bit. The editor
printeth a death notice, two columns
of obituary, three lodge notices, a
cubit of poetry and a card of thanks.
And he forgetteth to read proof on
the dead, and the darned thing com
eth out “Gone to Her Last Roast
ing Place.”
And all that are akin to the de
ceased jumpeth on the editor with
exceeding great jumps. And they
pulleth out their ads and canceleth
their subs, and they swing the ham
mer even unto the third and fourth
generations.

THE HARTWELL SUN, HARTWELL, GA., JULY 10, 1925
From Sun Readers
SOW GRAIN AND COVER CROPS
DEAR SUN:—We notice that
much of the fine land which grew
clovers, vetches, etc., have poor
stands, on account of continued
drought By replanting we may yet
get fair yields of corn, sorghum,
peas, soy beans, lima beans, Irish po
tatoes, watermelons, etc.
We beg that you be not discourag
ed with clovers and other winter
crops. During our observation of
half century, this is only the second
year so dry that late plantings failed
to germinate. Besides, it is not nec
essary to wait late to* plow under
clovers, rye, etc. This year we had
these crops which would have been
very beneficial turned under from
January to April. Even should no
crop follow these it is a paying prop
osition. When we consider how dis
astrous weather conditions might be
the more emphasis should be im
pressed upon early feed crops. Now
some farmers have already stored
enough hay from clovers, vetch,
wheat, oats, etc., for a full year's
supply. On the other hand most of
our farmers fear a dearth.
Last week a neighbor complained
that he was paying his hands wages
to do nothing. We Jiad burr clover
seed to harvest and clean and crimson
clover to clean and hay to bale. All
to be done now or could wait for
weeks at leisure.
my fellow farmers, the ma
jority of us find it easier to let some
one else do our thinking for us. We
fritter away valuable time while de
pending on other minds for a correct
program of life that often proves
to be incorrect. It must not be un
derstood. of course, that to accept
the views of others is a weakness.
Surely not. We should be convinced ;
when we find a thing convincing; but 1
this we will not know until we have
used our own hands, heads and
hearts. What does it profit us for
some one to say that pigs are plenti
ful while we haven't either pigs or
feed for them. What good would it
do for us to pass resolutions favor
ing planting as many acres in cot
ton as corn. When already we have
planted three in cotton to one in
corn? If you don’t like good whole
some sorghum, sweet and Irish pota
toes and the like, why should you
hinder a safe and tried program of
growing food and feed? If you buy
farm produce why should you object
to its being grown for home use and
for those who do buy it? We heard
a fellow say his family would eat
thirty bushels of potatoes if they had
them; so he wouldn’t plant any.
Many fuss about no market before
their hunger is satisfied. When we
are scarce of foods and feed is the
time when we want them more. Let’s
play “Safety First” then money if we
can. “To him that overcometh will
I give to eat.” This is Holy Writ of
spiritual things, but just as true and
applicable to the temporal.

I
Fy CLEO CLEVELAND
Thursday afternoon at Allman
field the Mount Olivet team, now
leading the league by a bare mar
gin of .50 points, sent the offerings
of Grey, Fry and Martin back into
their long and forlorn faces and won
the game bv the overwhelming score
of 11-4.
Wake Bailey, star pitcher of the
Mount Olivet team, was on the
mound Thursday and sent thirteen
disgusted Reed Creek back to the
bench by the strikeout route. The
first inning was the only bad frame
that Bailey had, after that time he
settled down and pitched splendid
ball.
The Charles Verner, who went on
a batting spree, as Doc Clark said,
was held at bay by Bailey. Not
even a single did he register off the
delivery of his opponent.
The hitting stars for Mount Olivet
were W. Bailey, C. Cleveland. D.
Bailey, W. Morris and F. Cleveland.
Each man got two hits oft' the Reed
Creek hurlers. Bailey was the hit
ting star of the game—once during
the game he came to bat with three
men on bases and sent the ball hurl
ing into deep Centerfield for three
bases.
The stars for Reed Creek were
Fry and Ayers.

“FOR WHAT IT’S WORTH”
The constant talk of Florida that
is dinned in our ears from day to day,
all sounds mighty wonderful. The
daily papers all show remarkable fig
ures and give attractive facts. Ru
mors and repeated stories thrill us
with their marvelous accounts of
newly-made riches and the numerous
opportunities that are to be had on
every side. Returning visitors all
come back with glowing descriptions,
so it all must be true. But there
must be a catch somewhere. There
is no doubt that Florida is booming
and rolling in ease today but how
long will it last? Has her recent
good fortune come to stay or will it
ba on a par with California's punc
tured bubble? California, you know,
in spite of all her advertising and
her conceded greatness has none of
her former pomp nor glory. Hard
times has hit her these last few years
and in truth the reflection from Flor
ida’s glaring lights has blinded her.
I am indebted to my friend Gar
land Hayes for the following inter
esting statistics on Florida’s wave of
prosperity. In as much as they are
figures gleaned from reliable sources,
they are unquestionably accurate.
They are a revelation and a con
vincing argument for the doubter to
look over. Florida's income as lined
up for the year 1923 is shown a.
follows: “Fruit crops thirty mil-
lion dollars, field crops twenty-two
million dollars, truck crops eighteen
million dollars, milk and butter seven
million dollars, eggs and poutry eight
million dollar#, livestock nine million
dollars, minerals twenty million dol
ars, lumber thirty million dollars,
naVal stores twenty million dollars,
fisheries fourteen million dollars,
manufacturing one hundred and fifty
million dollars, tourists one hundred
million dollars.” Figures for 1924
will show a substantial increase in
all items. Going a bit further in
these enlightening statistics we find
that “the investment of Northern
capital in three Southern states, dur
ing the year 1924, was ns follows:
In Georgia $ 8,000,000
In North Carolina $ 19,000,000
In Florida $150,000,000”
It has always seamed to me, that
there was something entirely lacking
in any person’s make-up who did not
appreciate and love music. One does
not necessarily have to be a musi
cian nor to be able to perform on
some instrument to love music. As a
matter of fact, some of the greatest
enthusiasts and devoted music lov
ers have been people who did not
know one note from another. And
yet, now and then, drifting through

this world we run a-snag of people
who neither care for music nor are
able to be lifted by it. To my mind,
such a person bears watching. There
is something radically twisted in his
I mental capacity. We need not, any
of us be “high-brow” musicians nor
is it to be expected that many of us
would have that finer developed
strain that would set us aglow over
1 highly classical music and grand
opera, but there should be an appeal
to all of us in the simple melodies
and those haunting notes of popular
approval. With all the nonsensical
words of jarring rhythm of most of
today’s popular music every once and
a while there comes some haunting
little melody that is different and
which has a touch of pathos in it and
kindles a teelin gos reverence in our
heart even though it may have com
mon-place words and setting. There
are two such popular songs, going
the rounds right at the present time.
, Simple though the words are, and
I the sentiment there is some unex
' plainable “pull” to b<fth of them,
j “Let It Rain,” and “What a Life”
deserve the honors for popular mu
sic, this year.
Os course, a great deal of out
judgment on any musical selection,
i depends on how it is executed. No
matter how worthy any composition
is, an indifferent musician, or. a per
son without a “soul for music” can
murder any popular hit. I wonder
how many of us have suffered the
anguish of the tormented, many times
in our lives at the rendition of some
time-honored classic, completely
ruined by “out-of-tuned” voices or
instruments or by performers who
had not the temperament to interpret
their attempts? Voices raised in
harsh discords. Violins not proper
ly tuned. Pianos thumped and claw
ed by folks who don’t know flats from
sharps. After all, it isn't so impor
tant how much music a piece has IN
I'l '£>ut rather, how much we can get
OUT OF IT. And folks who don’t
have “music in their souls” fail in
this.
