Mr. W. T. Yarbrough has the
building rented operating an up-to

Dr. Hailey has just returned from
a trip through Florida; his faith in
the future of Hartwell is such that

VANDERBILT IS
VISITOR AGAIN
Cornelius Vanderbilt, Jr., stopped
over for a short while Tuesday night
in Hartwell en route from Greenvilte
to Atlanta.
Mr. Vanderbilt, one of America’s
foremost citizens and millionaires, is
a frequent visitor here and always
stops for a chat with our people.
He is interested in many big enter
prises over the country, among them
a string of newspapers.
While here Tuesday night Mr.
Vanderbilt said he was particularly
struck with this section of the coun
try and also stated that the highway
route through Hartwell was undoubt
edly the feasible one for those who
desired to save time and worry.
At some future date it is hoped
Mr. Vanderbilt can be persuaded to
stop for a meetirig of the Kiwanis
club or some other gathering in our
<city.
“Treacle and brimstone,” or sul
phur and molasses, the remedy of
grandmother’s day, contained what is
now known as Vitamine B, and its
administration was based on sound
nutritional wisdom.
The flames from the waste outlets
of an oil well in Turner Valley, Al
berta, have forced plant growth to
the extent that blooms are opening
six weeks ahead of their normal
time. Wild strawberries were pick
ed in the vicinity shortly after the
snow left the ground on the adjacent
prairie.

KIDD IS OUT FOR
BETTER STREETS
AND CO. ROADS
“I favor bonds’for good roads in
Hart county, and bonds for street
paving in the City of Hartwell,” said
Mr. C. I. Kidd to a Sun representa
tive Tuesday,
Mr, Kidd, one of the county’s best
known and wealthiest citizens, is
boosting these worthy moves to ev
erybody he talks with, and hopes that
the town and county will take both
steps before the year is over.
"I have been traveling around this
year more than ever before,’* said
Mr. Kidd, “and I am convinced that
we must go forward. Other sec
tions and states are paving their
highways; Hart county and Georgia
must realize the importance and the
necessity of improving her highways.
“Hartwell and Hart county need
better roads and streets. lam will
ing to use my influence and means
to help bring about these improve
ments,” concluded Mr. Kidd.
He says good roads and paved
streets will increase land values and
bring additional business here suf
ficient to pay a handsome dividend
on every dollar we spend for the
work.
There seems to be little opposition,
if any, to the issuance of bonds both
in town and county for these pro
gressive steps.

Georgia School Folk
Hear How Hart Is
Making Record
The following news item under an
Athens date line in last Friday’s At
lanta Constitution is of interest to
Sun readers:
Athens, Ga., July 16.- Progress of
various Georgia counties in consoli
dating schools and rehabilitating agri
culture by installation of the course
in vocational agriculture was de
scribed here today by speakers at
I the University of Georgia summer
j school.
The morning session of the confer
i ence was devoted to discussion of
consolidation of schools. W. B. Mor
ris, superintendent of schools in Hart
county, told of the success of school
consolidation in that community. Mr.
Morris stated that a few years ago
the c<ninty supported 37 schools and
today, these schools have been con
solidated into nine modern schools
with buildings and facilities and
teaching staffs comparable to those
existing in the towns and cities of
the state. He stated that the value of
the school buildings in the county is
estimated at $150,000 and since the
consolidation results have been
very satisfactory. Hart county has
more schools with vocational agri
cultural teachers than any other
county in the state and much pro
gress is being made in that line, Mr.
Morris said.
At the afternoon session, over
which Paul W. Chapman, of the State
i College of Agriculture, presided, the
value of vocational agriculture and
home economics courses was empha
sized. H. L. Frye, professor of vo
cational agriculture at the Reed
Creek consolidated school, told of the
work and success of that department
and Miss Susie Bursom, of the Win
terville high school, in Clarke coun
i ty, told of the value of home eco
nomics courses in that community.
Miss Annie McLanahan, of Hart
county, home economics agent, dis
cussed the work in that county.
Free school books was another top
ic discussed by Superintendent An
drews, of Stephen county, and Mr.
Bennett, of Fitzgerald. It was point
ed out that free school books will, in
the long run, save money to the
state, as it is now one month after
school opens before all pupils have
books and this time would be saved
if the state furnished books at the
opening of the school session.

Kiwanians Thank Committee
For Work In Columbia Meet
Resolutions were adopted at the
regular meeting of the Kiwanis Club
last Friday expressing appreciation
to Mr. A. N. Alford and the commit
tee going with him to Columbia, S.

bridge matter. Those going with

field and others expressed themselves '
as being heartily behind the local I
band, under the leadership of Prof. ,
H. Poole, and urged everyone pres
ent to help the band financially.
A challenge for a baseball game
was read from the Hart County Post
American Legion, and accepted. The
game will be called Thursday p. m.,
July 30th. Kiwanian Inman Alford
has charge of the details for the Ki
wanis end of the match, which will
be a most interesting athletic event.
Visitors of the day were a former
Hartwell Kiwanian, George M. Rooks,
now of Gainesville; Mr. A. B. Ed
monds, of Atlanta; Mr. J. B. Robins
and Mr. W. H. Morgan, the two lat
ter with the State Highway Depart
ment. All made short, interesting
talks. Mr. Morgan stated that he
was glad to know that Hartwell
would soon pave and stated this
would help the city in a great many
ways. He said Hartwell was per
haps the most progressive city in
Georgia without paving.
The club gave a vote of thanks to
Kiwanian W. L. Murrow and his bar
becue committee for their excellent
work.
Following a splendid meal, the at
tendants were treated to cigars
through Kiwanians Claude and Clayte |
Herndon.
Miss Mildred Johnson presided at
the piaflo.
