J BIBLE THOUGHT 1
I For This Week
3 Bible Thoughts memorized, will prove a
priceless heritage in after years.
Better than rubies: Search the
Scriptures; for in them ye think ye
have eternal life; and they are they
which testify of me.—John 5:39.
o—
Campmeetin’ is on in Georgia.
o
This is a day of much shooting.
O ;
You have noticed, or course, that
easy money is hardest to keep.
o
The hardest test comes, not in
making money, but in keeping it.
o
If no one ever calls you by your
first name there’s something wrong
with you.
—o
A monkey never made a man but
many a man has made a monkey of
himself.
o
“The girl with a dimple,” says old
Joe Jones, “can always find some
thing to smile at.”
There is money in the newspaper
business. That is to say, a lot of
money has been put into it.
' o
Do you suppose the Increasing use
of airplanes had anything to do with
the rise in the price of gasoline?
o
Buy why is it that so many crim
inals never seem to realize that they
are insane until they kill somebody?
o
The man who is starting an eel
ranch in Florida certainly has a slick
scheme for getting rich, hasn’t he?
The monkey business has been
moved to Washington. They doubt
less have more company there, so to
speak.
, . o
The hotter the weather the more
cooling is that delectible, great, grand
and succulent old drink called but
termilk we’ve mentioned once or
twice before in this column.
o
A Stubborn Jackass.
If evolution is true we would just
like to know what the road hog was
back before the days of automobiles.
—Lavonia Times.
o
A gentleman in this ciXy swapped
a pig, a calf and a dog for an auto
mobile. If the fellow who got the
trio will raise the calf, fatten the
pig and shoot the dog, he made a
crackerjack deal.—Commerce News.
o
Old Joe Jones says that there are
17,500,000 motor vehicles in the
country, and it looks like to him
that all of them are running when
you stand on a Hartwell corner and
watch the tourists and homefolks
go by.
o
What’s Become of Sally?”
Uncle John Shannon, over at Com
merce, wants to know “What’s be
come of Louie Morris. We never
see him; he has tabooed his breth
ren of the press.” Right there, Un
cle John, you’re wrong; the only ta
booing you’ve ever seen is the gang
tabooing us. The only session we
fail to attend is the one we fail to
hear about.
■i ■—o
FARM LAND VALUES
Farm, land values are rapidly in
creasing in Georgia according to au
thentic reports reaching The Consti
tution from various sections. It is
increasing because the demand »s
increasing.
It is estimated that fully 50,000
acres of ready-to-go farm lands have
been sold in Georgia in the last
few months —largely to homeseekers
from the north and west.
The tide has just begun to flood.
Georgia will get more permanent
• settlers from other states between
this time and next July than during
any one year period in her history
—provided Georgians do their part,
extend the proper kind of coopera
tion and show a genuine and sin
cere welcome that is not offset by
speculative froth.—Atlanta Constitu
tion.
William Jennings Bryan died last
Sunday afternoon in Dayton, Tenn.,
the scene of the famous Scopes
evolution trial. He was a great man,
scholarly, clean, Christian; he died
fighting for the things he thought
right,—he died fighting for the Bible.
o
The Hartwell Sun says that car
lot poultry sales shipped from Hart
well for the past year is between
$30,000 to $45,000. This work is
being done by County Agent Bing
ham. White county can do the same
thing, if only the county will get to
working toward that" end on a co
operative plan.—Cleveland Courier.
o
Five years from this day, July 17,
1925, Georgia is going to be the big
gest state in the union. Put it down
and watch The Sun’s prediction come
true. —Hartwell Sun.
That’s the sort of spirit that will
win, Manis. The people of this
commonwealth need to have more
faith in themselves and their state.
Optimism should reign from one end
of Georgia to the other. Nothing
will be gained by sitting still and
idle and grumbling all the time. By
concerted effort in the right direction
the Empire State of the South will
become true to its name and then
some.—Monticello News.
o
It’a Persistency That Counts.
If you are continually striving to
do your best and working hard, the
fact that you are unnoticed is no
sign that you are not a good man
and worthy of appreciation.
If you are always doing your best
you are just as great as the man
who is noted for having accomplish
ed some great deed—perhaps great
er; for—who knows —he may have
had an easier road, and you may be
working under a greater handicap.
The fact that you honestly try to
complete each task assigned you
makes you worthy—not everything
in business is in a whirlwind finish.
You know sometimes dripping water
will wear away more rock than sev
eral angry cataracts. It’s persisten
cy that counts.

President of Buick Motor Co.
Discusses Policies That Have
Helped Make Auto Famous
By H. H. BASSETT •
President Buick Motor Co.
Progress obtained by work of the
hardest kind has brought the auto
motive industry within a quarter of
a century from virtually nothing to
the commanding place in the indus
trial life of our country. Now that
first place has been attained, there
should be no tendency to sit back
satisfied. This attitude must not be
assumed if the industry is to retain
its leading positon.
The commercial history of this
country is replete with instances of
manufacturers who felt that they
had arrived and could rest content
only later to be rudely awakened by
some young, vigorous rival who rec
ognized the principle that to succeed
you must progress. Every year for
two decades the leading automobile
manufacturers have- brought out
what they honestly believed was the
best car in its price class, and felt
that it could not be excelled. Yet
within twelve months their own en
gineers have proved that the product
could be improved. And so it has
gone on, each year seeing better au
tomobiles and so it will continue as
long 'as-it is possible to make im
provements.
Years ago the Buick Motor Com
pany took for its slogan, “When Bet
ter Automobiles are Built, Buick will
Build Them.” This was not selected
as a vainglorious boast, but was pre
dicated on the well defined policy
that Buick intends bettering its pro
duct by the adoptions of such im
provements as continuous experience
may develop.
Maybe the perfect automobile is
yet to be built. No one can say
how close or how far we are from
that coveted result. Extensive re
search will reveal this, and this fact
is recognized by the more progres
sive manufacturers who are con
stantly striving to make a better
car.
This has been the policy of the
Buick Motor Company and it will
continue as such. The large engin
eering and research staffs of the
Buick are constantly working to cre
ate better Buicks, and as they pro
gress better Buicks will be built.
It is a good thing for the industry
as a whole that there is a tendency
to discard the habit of making
changes merely for the sake of hav
ing a change. But this extended to
the curtailment of real improvements
from year to year would mean but
one thing ultimately—that the auto
motive industry would start slipping
backward, for it is a truism that
nothing stands still, we must continue
to go forward or go backward.

“FOR WHAT IT’S WORTH”
By E.8.8..Jr.
r- S
The death of William Jennings
Bryan brings sadness to all of Amer
ica. There are few figures in Amer-'
ican h'story that have equalled his in
prominence in the love of his coun
try and the willingness to tight for
those things that he considered the
ideals worthy of a great nation s
standard. Mr. Bryan was radical on
many subjects. He has been bitter
ly criticised on many of his views,
but as far as I am able to look back
over his public recc'd, it is a record
that shows a man who was always on
the right side regardless of public
opinion and regardless of what hurt
it might bring him, politically. Mr.
Bryan was a martyr in American
politics because of his deep-seated
convictions on many subjects and
because he was man enough to go
ahead and fight according to his con
victions in face of a antagonistic
world. This trait, above all, I would
pay tribute at the passing of this
great man and that is his absolute
sincerity. Willing to champion any
cause that was rightful and needed
a leader; always prepared to battle
the foe, or the foes that he consider
ed dangerous to the country’s inter
est; actively fighting for any idea
that he believed helpful to the nation
and worthy of a fight; forgetting self
and coptent to be criticised and os
tracised because of those beliefs—,
that was Bryan. After all, is there
a greater tribute that can be paid
to any man than this? I think not.
Any man willing to make himself a
martyr because of his righteousness
and convictions and to sacrifice him
self on the altar of public opinion has
proven himself the greatest of all
men.
Perhaps it is rather foolish of me
to speak of Atlanta for all Georgians
are familiar with the city from every
angle. But, after traveling all over
the country for nine years, and after
viewing cities of the East and West
as well as the South, a recent visit
to Atlanta fully convinced me ‘hat
there is no other city in • America
anywhere near its size, quite as won
derful and progressive. We hear
of Dallas and Tulsa and Denver and
other Western cities. I have written
of them often and they are truly
wonderful, but right here in Georgia
we have the most progressive of all
cities—Atlanta—, and nowhere in
all of America is there a city that
can touch it for aggressiveness. Cit
izens of Hartwell are quite aware
of all of Atlanta’s points of interest,
so I shan’t attempt to “rehash” what
we Georgians all know, but in the
passing there are some items about
Atlanta worth repeating.
“Unusualties” of Atlanta.
Hotels—, Atlanta has the finest
hotel accommodations in the United
States. No city of its size in the
country has as many wonderful ho
tels. In the “Atlanta Biltmore” we
find a hotel without a peer for real
beauty, in all of America. There are
many larger hotels, elsewhere, but
none more beautiful..
Office buildings—, nowhere in the
South or any section of the country
are there finer office buildings. The

Our community was greatly shock
ed by the unexpected death of Mrs.
Rebecca Thompson, wife of Mr. Law
rence Thompson, which occurred at
her home on July 24th. Mrs. Thomp
son was buried at Sardis, her home
church, on Saturday following. Rev.
T. J. Espy, of Concord, her former
pastor, conducted the servicese. She
will be greatly missed as she was one
of our most faithful members and
liberal contributors.
Mrs. Lyt Richardson and grand
son, Henry, spent a few days last
week in Columbia, S. C., visiting rela
tives.
The reunion of the Norman fam
ily at the home of Mr. and Mrs. C.
W. Norman on Thursday, July 23,
was something to make one set up
and take notice. We can not do
justice to this occasion.and will just
add that every one had a good time

FRIDAY afternoon at four o’clock
' J. E. Cobb and H. W. Bingham
meet in the last of semi-final
games of the Hartwell handicap golf
tournament. Thursday a/ternoon of
last week found the elimination of
two of the twenty-eight entries and
Friday found still another left be
hind. Upsets have come thick and
fast in the tournament—the first, the
defeat of R. E. Cox at the hands of
J. E. Cobb; the second, the victory of I
J. B. Shaw over J. H. Barton. In
the first of the semi-final games G. 1
C. Hayes defeated J. B. Shaw in a
pretty match. Up until the last hole
Shaw was leading by a stroke but on
the eighteenth green missed a cou
ple of easy putts—thus determining
the difference between victor and
vanquished.
The tournament this year—al
though the first ever held here—has
been a great success and plans are
already under w’ay whereas another
tourney will be held again next year.
It was first planned to have the tour
ney last over a period of four or
five days but the absence of a num
ber of the contestants made it impos
sible to stage the tourney in one
week. It is hoped, however, that it
will be played in the same week next
year.
This afternoon —if nothing pre
vents—at four o’clock there will be
down at Allman field one of the big
gest baseball games ever played in
Adair Building, one of Atlanta's fin
est sky-scrapers has established a
record all to itself in that it pub
lishes a paper, regularly, devoted to
the interests of its tenants. The
Candler Building is conceded one of
America's prettiest office buildings.
The Hurt Building is one of the four
teen largest office buildings in Amer
ica.
Atlanta's shops—, nowhere in the
country are there finer department
stores and furnishing shops. Cham
berlin-Johnson-Dußose Co., and the
new Macey Company to be establish
ed soon gives Atlanta the finest stores
in the country outside of New York
and in Muse's, men’s furnishing
store, there is none finer anywhere.
One of the most remarkable of all
features of Atlanta stores is the
daily prayer service held each morn
ing in many of them. Davison-Pax
on-Stokes Co. and others have start
ed this movement.
Peachtree street —, as long as the
world goes on, there will never be a
street in any city quite as famous ns
this Atlanta street. People from our
of state and all over America have
come to hear of this street's great
prestige and later coming to At
lanta have viewed the spectacle of
its real greatness.
Just as anywhere else in the coun
try, the talk of Florida is uppermost,
in Atlanta. After phoning and re
phoning many times for old friends
1 was finally told they had “gone to
Florida.” In fact, outside of the
general talk on the weather, there
was little conversation except Flor
ida. Everybody I met had glorious
tales to tell of newly-made riches of
intimate friends. . Every solitary
soul had alluring stories of wonderful
opportunities to be nad, down there.
There must be a catch somewhere. In
the midst of all this boom, there
surely must be boomerang that will
catch the unwary and send home an
army of •.■.'■believers. I may be
wrong bu‘ I can’t help but believe
that thing;. . go on many months
in Florida like this. The Central of
Georgia Railroad ran an excursion
to Florida on Saturday. On their
night train they ran 40 Pullman cars
and this was only ONE of their 5
trains that day.
Campmeeting, with all of its
quaint attractiveness is the attraction
this week. Hartwell’s Campmeeting
glories in an unusual brilliant his
tory. With more than 50 years’ his
tory, she has achieved a period of
splendid service and an era of re
markable triumph. With all of the
modern ideas and progressive steps
forward it is hard to go back just
a few years and picture the Camp
meeting of old with its “old-timy”
atmosphere of torch-lights on the
corners for lighting, the blowing of
the bugle for services, the “shouting”
and the walks to the spring. All
has gone. It is an era put be
hind us, and now instead we find the
Campmeeting to be, besides an evan
gelistic service, also a training school
for all departments of the church.
Truly, the world moves.
say nothing of the sumptuous din

there.
Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Thornton and
sons, Francis and John Allen, and
friend, Clyde Harrell, of Columbia,
S. C., are the guests of Mr. and Mrs?
Lyt Richardson.
Mrs. Orrin Roberts and son, James,
and daukhter, Sarah, of Monroe,
were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. C.
W. Rice Sunday and Monday.
We hope to have a good meeting
at our church during this week. Rev.
Louie Smith, of Due West, S. C.,
is doin gthe preaching for us. May
much good be done in building up
the kingdom of God.
Misses Clara and Edith Jones, of
Anderson, S. C., are visiting their
aunt, Mrs. Frank Herndon.
Mrs. C. T. J. Giles and son, Hugh,
and two daughters, Misses Ruth and
Nellie, and sister, Mrs. D. H. Bickers,
of Umatilla, Fla., were visitors in
our community last Sunday.
Hartwell. The teams representing
the American Legion and Kiwanis
Club meet for a little scrap. Former
players—good ones, too —will be in
the line-up of both teams. The bat
teries are as follows: Kiwanians—
! H. L. Fry and B. C. Teasley; Amer
ican Legion—J. E. Martin and J. T.
Wilcox.
And now comes the announcement
from Hoyt Baker that arrangements
i are being made for a series of games
> between Hartwell and Elberton—the
first three games of the series will
probably be played next week. Man
ager Jack Haley, of the Elberton
team, was in the city last week and
made the statement that his team was
ready to go. Hoyt Baker is busy
getting his line-up ready, players
from the county o’er being the ones
he is to pick from. More definite
announcements will be made later.
Because of the irregularity in play
ing the games in the Hart County

dates for their game—we have be
come confused. We publish the

they are wrong, some one who knows
