A kiss is a peculiar proposition— Os no use to one, yet absolute bliss to two. The small boy gets it for nothing. The young man has to steal it. The old man has to buy it. The baby’s right.

You feel just as good tomorrow as you do today if you take on just a little too much of that grand old buttermilk. There’s no morning af ter, with the dark brown taste. — Hartwell Sun. That’s the truth. And, as you have previously intimated, Mr. Mor » ris, the grand qld buttermilk never causes a man to get wild and beat his wife.—Commerce News. — Yea, Yea! Any city that assumes the atti tude of trying to tear down a neigh boring town and county to build up itself is not contributing much to the growth of the state. —Hartwell Sun. Now you are talking. That’s the way we feel about it. We would be glad to know that ere long Hartwell, Lavonia, and all the other neighbor ing towns would have a poulation of a cool million, and that every one of them had as much dough as John tk P.. and as much religion as the gos-- pel plan offers. —Commerce News.

Brookshire, Fla., is a city of 1,700 population. Its Chamber of Commerce has 1.000 members. Within thirty minutes it raises $25,000 to finance the Chamber of Commerce for twelve months. Is it any wonder that Florida is prospering when people join together thus promptly and pay thus liberally for the development of their city?— Wayvross Herald-Journal. 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. o 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. o OLD JOE JONES SAYS— | Wyyl “Many a man has the A reputation of being T brave when he is real- I ly just too scared to Tun ” o You may have the right of way, but the fool doesn’t know it.—To ledo Blade. o Descendants of an early settler don’t go as far as those of an early 1 riser.—Danville Bee. o ■ Boston reports a sea serpent off the coast of Massachusetts.

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. S. L.

BLUE EYES. o It isn’t that marriage makes men meek, but that the meek ones are easily caught.—Akron Beacon Jour nal. i MOUNT OLIVET CRUSHES REED CREEK—SCORE 11-4 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. —o ——. EAGLE GROVE Hendrys Sunday school which is being held here was well attended Sunday. Mr. F. M.

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.

NORMAN - DR. W. L HAILEY ■ L. L. McMULLAN By E.8.8.Jr. 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.
