Celebrate 4th Here
With Good Program
On the 4th of July, 1925, a very
impressive and interesting program
■was rendered under the auspices of
the Brenau Club.
It was interesting because of the
occasion which prompted it. Impres
sive because of the time, place, man
ner and cause for which it was given.
The 4th of July being the day held
sacred by every citizen of America,
remembering the freedom that was
given this great and favored land of
ours .on that day.
Again <on account of the place, be
ing at the fork of Howell and Ath
ens streets, in the city of Hartwell,
under the shade of the large Spanish
oak, around which a platform had
been built, also decorated with Amer
ican flags and Brenau banners, ac
cording to army regulations. This
majestic oak lifts its head towards
heaven with thankfulness for its pro
tection from the fate of the axe in
the hands of cruel man and spreads
its arms to kiss the earth and give
Sfo the weary traveler a resting place.
Again the serious and reverent
manner in which the prograrrt was
rendered. The occasion being the
dedication of this tree to the World
War soldiers, who went across and
offered their lives that America
might hold the freedom given her
by our forefathers, that the women
and children might be protected from
the ravages of a nation that was
seeking gain.
May our tongues cleave to the
roofs of our mouths afid our right
arms refuse to act when we cease to
honor these men.
In the absence of the president,
the meeting was presided over in a
very gracious and dignified manner
by Miss Naomi Herndon.
The program called for several
musical numbers which were fur
nished by the Hartwell Band.
1. Opening number was the sing
ing of America in chorus by all pres
ent.
2. Invocation by Rev. W. A. Dun
can.
3. "American Independence”
by Rev. James Bradley.
4. Mrs. Ben C. Alford, "A Tri
bute to Trees,” impressed all who
were present with a greater desire to
protect them in the future.
5. Judges Hodges, after reading
the deed which was made to the tree
itself (this being the third tree deed
ed to itself in Georgia) made a
splendid address, the main thought
being the protection of trees. He
presented the deed to the Vice Pres
ident, Miss Quillie Norman, with the
Brenau Club officers and their suc
cessors, trustees.
6. Miss Naomi Herndon in a
beautiful manner, tenderly and rev
erently dedicated the tree to the
memory of our soldiers.
7. This was responded to in a few
words of deep appreciation by Com
mander of the American Legion, Dr.
M. M. Parks.
8. Pleasing number by the Hart
well Band.
The Brenau Club takes this occa
sion to thank the Hartwell Band and
each and every one who took part
in the program. We want to es
pecially thank Judge Hodges who
honored us by intrusting to our care
one of the beauties of God's handi
work.
May we never betray that trust.

Due to hygienic conditions and the
trades taught in Sing Sing prison,
prisoners are showing a disinclination

suggested a reduction in the number

Dogs Not a Commodity
‘'Rusticus,” author of "Bucolic Beat
itudes,’’ has only contempt for those
who buy and sell dogs. "A dog,” he
says, “should never be purchased,
should never be made the subject of
barter and dickering. A dog may be
rescued from abuse, he may be found
and kept, and, in cases of real neces
sity, he may be stolen in a dignified
manner; but he should never be
bought. I have heard of men that
make a livelihood from the purchase
and sale of dogfi. I cannot conceive
of them as good husbands and kind
fathers, but they seem to me inhu
man monsters engaged in a sinister
traffic.”
Tiger Talk, Etc.
The mating call of a tiger, the
mournful, whining "ah-woongh,” re
peated five or six times in succession
at intervals is really a very loud
"miaow,” and when mating, tiger, or
tigress, will roam the jungles for
miles, miaowing all through the night,
and sometimes till as late as noonday.
But when a tiger is angry at being
disturbed, especially a tigress with
cubs, it gives a low, humming, mur
muring growl, very cat-like, and fol
lowed by a long-drawn "haa-eeh.” A
tiger will often give Its “ah-woongti,”
and a leopard Its sawing roar, when
on their way to their kills.
Words! Words!
Some very beautiful choral music
we heard recently reminded us of a
little speech Sir Henry Wood once
made to Sheffield choristers. “Now
for your greatest fault 1” he exclaimed.
“Words: Words are your master.
When you go and hear a bad comic
opera and you listen with rapt atten
tion to the principal comedian, what
attracts you? You are able without
effort to hear every word he sings.
You forget that he has no voice. Now
think when you are singing choruses
at the next festival what a delight it
will be to the public If they hear every
word you sing!”

Anderson Man Says
Thermostatic Con
trol Is Great Thing
THOMAS H. HARVEY
Consulting Accountant
Anderson, S. C., June 22, 1925.
A. C. Blancke & Co.,
Chicago, 111.
Gentlemen:—Just a word of ap
preciation for your Thermostatic
Carburetor Control. I had one in
stalled on ray car, by Wellborn’s
Garage here in Anderson, S. C.,
about a month ago and have been
getting very good mileage.
I like it so well and have talked
it so enthusiastically ’till I have sold
the garage out of all they had. Mr.
Wellborn stated that you had no
agent here in Anderson, or if you
did that you were not satisfied as
he is not pushing them. I travel
all over the state and go as far
as Georgia and North Carolina and
I believe that I can sell them for you
satisfactorily.
I have orders for a few already
and can get more if I am sure there
is anything in it for me.
Yesterday I drove my Ford coupe
115 miles to the mountains and back
on TWO gallons of gas. However,
I also had a Stransky vaporizer, but
even at that it is the best mileage
that has been delivered around this
part of the country. Folks are wait
ing to be asked to buy and I have
recommended and sold in the neigh
borhood of ~ dozen for Mr. Well
born.
Please let me know immediately,
as I know I can sell a half dozen in
a day without leaving Anderson.
Your Thermostatic adds the mileage.
Sincerely yours,
(Signed) THOMAS H. HARVEY.

Mystery Attached to
Lost Cities of World
There Is always fascination at
tached to stories of lost and aban
doned cities. The East has many such
places, once teeming with life —now
the abiding place of lions, monkeys,
snakes and jackals. For Instance, the
holy city of the Buddhists, Baraboe
door, in Java, had been forgotten for
300 years when Sir Stamford Raffles
rediscovered it and its wonderful tem- £
pie, the eighth wonder of the world.
The jungle of Siam has hidden Its an
cient capital, Ayuthla, for four cen
turies. Us Inhabitants fled before the
conquering Burmese, and never re
turned. It is now said to be the lurk
ing place of thousands of enormous
snakes. Mystery surrounds the dead
city of Tibet, which Captain Rawling
discovered. It is a vast collection of
palaces, monasteries, and dwelling
houses, but the Tibetans prpfessed ig
norance of its existence, and also of
the reason for Its abandonment. Five
centuries ago Angkor had a popula
tion of three-quarters of a million. To
day It is the Dead City of Cambodia.
The carved stone elephants, the im
mense causeways, the majestic tem
ples still remain, but the jungle has
Invaded the streets and squares.
Plant That Changes
Its Location at Will
To those who have made Lt a study,
plant life teems with wonders. Take,
for example, the Loranthus, a species
of mistletoe. If this plant finds itself in
a situation unfavorable to Its growth,
it will throw out a root by which it Is
enabled to move to another site, the
means of locomotion being a flattened
disc that acts as a sort of foot. The
moving process is repeated until a sat
isfactory position for development has
been found.’
Another plant, the Clusla, lodges its
seeds in the branches of a tree, whence
the roots grow downward and strike in
the soil. From these suspended roots
branches grow on all sides, until the
tree by which they are supported be
cornea literally suffocated. These and
other queer happenings In plant life
are related in "The New Book of
Gardening.”
After all, maybe the luckiest wild
flower was the one that was born to
blush unseen.—Detroit News.
Theatrical people are peculiar.
They work when they play and play
when they work.
