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.

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. o There are 28,500 habitable rural dwellings now vacant in Missouri. » a S ■. 1 <■- fl r* REV.

O 1 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. -o .
