WRIGHT NEAR DEATH IN AUTO WRECK Had Not Regained Consciousness As Sun Went To Press—Accident Oc curred Near Starr Tuesday Robert T. Wright, about 35 years of age, weU-known Hartwell man, is near death’in the Anderson County (S. C.) Hospital as the result of in juries received Tuesday morning when his car and a auto bearing a Tennessee tag collided near Starr on the Smith-McGee bridge road. Wright’s skull is fractured, his right arm fractured and is probably injured internally. He was en route to Anderson, ac companied by Mrs. Wright and bro ther, J. B. Wright, and Miss Quillie Skelton. The Tennessee party was coming towards Georgia. Mrs. Wright, who was only slightly bruis ed, was quoted as saying that the other car swerved toward their Ford car as they neared each other. The Wright car was overturned by the impact and the occupants thrown from the machine. An ambulance from Anderson car ried Mr. Wright and the others to the hospital where they were given quick assistance. J. B. Wright or Miss Skelton were neither injured beyond several scratches and a severe shaking. The Tennessee car was said to have been driven by a Mr. Walling.

Two years ago—just before dawn on August 3, 1923, in his father’s modest home at Plymouth, Vermont, Mr. Coolidge took the oath as pres ident a few hours after the death of Warren G. Harding. Looking back over his white house incumbency, President Coolidge, his friends say, feels satisfied with the turn of events, the election results last November increasing his con fidence that policies were meeting with approval. In the isolation of his summer home here since his arrival six weeks ago the president has been keeping in touch with government activities and from time to time has conferred with men who have a prominent part in the nation’s business. With at least a month more of vacationing in prospect it is expected that he will hold conferences in increasing num bers. o-, Vitamins In Foods Better Than In Drugs Take your vitamins in foods and not in drugs, if you would keep healthy, say nutrition specialists of the Georgia State College of Agri culture. Vitamins are those elements or factors or “somethings” in foods about which scientists have been car rying on so much investigation in re cent years, and so far five of them have been found. Some vitamins are found in some foods, while others are found in other foods, and about all the everage per son needs to know about them is their distribution. The advice of the nu trition specialists is to get a wide variety of foods, and go to the garden or market for the mand not to the drug store. In case of a suspected deficiency in the diet, corrective mea sures should be sought from suitable natural foodstuffs they say, and not from commercial vitamin prepara tions. If a person consumes a plenty of dairy products, eggs, spinach, lettuce, cabbage, beans, tomatoes and other vegetables he will not be worried by a malnourished condition of his sys tem, the experts say, and it is doub ly important that children be pro vided with these foods in order that their bodies may develop normally. CHURCH OF GOD A revival will begin the the Church of God on the second Sunday, Aug ust 9th. Everybody cordially invited to at tend the services. THE HARTWELL SUN. MR.

A. W. Brown expressed it, was perhaps well chosen to designate last Friday’s session of the Hartwell Ki wanis Club. Guests included the Methodist min isters and church workers attending the Hartwell Campmeeting and the Elberton District S. S. Training School in progress at that time just west of the city. They were Dr. Horace S. Smith, of Elberton; Dr. H. C. Howard, of Emory University; Dr. A. W. Rees, of Oxford; Rev. J. R. Turner, of Com merce; Rev. C. D. Read, of Lavonia; Rev. Lester Rumble, of Trion; Rev. M. C. Allen, of Danielsville; Rev. J. H. Coffman, of Carnesville; Rev. J. A. Griffies, of Middleton, and Rev. J. H. Nichols, of Hartwell. Three charming ladies from the Sunday School training camp also were present, Mrs. W. J. Culpepper and Miss Gene Ragsdale, of Atlanta, and Mrs. J. L. Massey, of Hartwell. A number responded to their in troductions with short and interest ing talks. It is always a pleasure to have the representatives of the Campground and Training School as guests of the Club, as is true of delegations from any church or institution of like character. Prominent Roystonian. Among the guests of the day was Hon. Luther Bond, prominent busi ness man of Royston, and one of northeast Georgia’s most aggressive citizens. Mr. Bond responded with a few well chosen remarks, quite favorably impressing his hearers. He is always given a warm welcome to Hartwell and our community. Another visitor of the day was Mr. Guy H. Norris, well-nown wholesale grocer of Hartwell, and a wide-awake citizen along ’tevery progressive line. The Club extended Kiwanian Broadus B. Zellars, Representative of Hart county, a warm welcome back for the day. He made a short talk to the Club, telling of various activities down in Atlanta. o July An Exceptional Month In Many Respects July, in the summer column of months, made its exit more in the manner of the proverbial March lion in the West and Middle West. Heavy rains, floods, extremely low tempera tures for the season and even a snowfall at El Paso marked the part ing bow of a normally sizzling month. In this section the month was one of extreme heat and drouth. It ended the same way. At Detroit the heaviest rainfall in years caused damages estimated at between 500,000 and $1,000,000. Transportation service was crippled, industrial plants, residences and streets suffered from the downpour and basements flooded. Damaged. Among the structures damaged were two large buildings of the Ford River Rouge plant. Temperatures in the fifties an sixties were distributed generally through the Eastern Central states as the month came to an end. At El Paso, where snow flurries fell for six hours, overcoats and other heavy clothing were hastily sought by resi dents who had sweltered under a 100-degree temperature earlier in the week. The only cities qualifying in the high mercury column were Boise, Ida.; Fresno, Cal., and Walla Walla, Wash., where the thermometer regis tered 100 or higher. August took up July’s program, but has shown some signs of varying a little. o America’s cigaret gain last year was 11 per cent, or a total consump tion of 70,000,000,000.

H. Grant, sales manager of the Chevrolet Motor com pany. The revised price list is as fol lows: Coupe reduced S4O to a new price of $675; Coach reduced S4O to a new price of $695; Sedan reduced SSO to a new price of $775. “The record production and phe nomenal sale of Chevrolets during recent months enables the company to reduce prices at an earlier date than at first had been contemplated,” said Mr. Grant. “It is the result of quantity production permitting qual ity manufacture at lower cost.” Mr. Grant pointed to the fact that the Chevrolet Motor company will have exceeded by August 20 its total production for the year of 1924 af ter having established production i records for three successive months. The company will make its two mil lionth car earl ythis fall, and will be the first manufacturer of three i speed gear-shift cars to reach that I production mark. “The largest producers gain an ad vantage by effecting substantial sav ings through enormous purchasing power,” continued Mr. Grant. “The Chevrolet Motor company is passing this advantage on to the car buyer.” Incidentally, the benefit of the price reduction will extend also to more than 8,000 persons holding I Chevrolet Six Per Cent Purchase , Certificates for future delivery on I closed models. The payments and ; interest on the Certificates now will j attain the total of a down payment I for delivery earlier than would have been the case under the former price schedule. ■ o EIGHTH DISTRICT MASONS WILL MEET IN ROYSTON AUGUST 13 Royston, Ga., August 5.

Electric Power For Farms In Future Says Atkinson . Athens, Ga., July 29. —A vision of hydroelectric 'power on the .farms of Georgia was held out today to the future farmers attending Camp Wil kins, the summer Boys’ Club camp, at the State College of Agriculture, by H. M. Atkinson, chairman of the board of the Georgia Railway and power company. Mr. Atkinson, in his address on “Georgia, One of the Nation’s Great Laboratories,” declared his company anxious to undertake the pioneer work of making water power avail able for general use in Georgia. Among other points he empha sized the following: has become a science and a profession and the importance of agricultural education for you young men is not merely something for your own profit but a basic ne cessity for the adequate development of the state. “Georgia’s great natural resources make it easy to get a bare living out of the soil. This may prove a handi cap instead of a blessing unless young men like you at Camp Wil kins ar etrained to use these re sources and to put your ’knowledge and initiative back of their develop ment. This makes agricultural edu cation of highest importance. “The Georgia Railway and Power company hopes and aims to help you make the widest use of Georgia’s natural resources by making hydro electric power evailable for general use on the farms. This can be ac complished only when reserve earn ings of the company are sufficient to enable us to carry on this pioneer work at a loss. “It is vital that you as farmers take an interest in governmental as- I fains, see that the right men ,are ! elected to office and that taxes are reasonable and not so excessive that they will decrease rather than in crease revenue by driving industries ( from the state." Mr. Atkinson’s address was in re sponse to an invitation from Dr. An drew M. Soule, president of the State College of Agriculture. o CONDITIONS ARE MORE STABLE IN GEORGIA SAYS MR. VANDERBILT Augusta, Ga.—“ Conditions in Georgia have a more decided tenden cy toward stability than conditions in Florida,” said Cornelius Vanderbilt, Jr., who spent part of Wednesday in Augusta en route from Miami to Asheville. In speaking of his observations during the summer over Georgia and the sputh, Mr. Vanderbilt declared that crop prospects in this state are the most wonderful he has seen any where, except in California, and that the farms are all wonderful sights to behold. He described the peach industry around Fort Valley, the to bacco industry around Valdosta and the truck crops all along his route. He especially touched on the appar ently healthy condition of Georgia’s cotton crop. Comparing Georgia to Florida, the young millionaire newspaper man was somewhat reluctant, saying: “You know I • an’t say anything against Florida, because I have one of my papers at Miami. But I will say that conditions in Georgia have a more decided tendency toward stability than conditions in Florida. You have a normal, healthy situ ation, while it is conceded that Flor ida’s present situation, while not precarious or exactly mushroomy, cannot hold for always. If Florida only had plenty of industries, she could look to the futUYe much more hopefully. Georgia has industries and has new ones coming to her an nually. Capital is invested all over this state by cotton manufacturers of New England. You are diversify-i ing your farm crops.” 1 Asked what he thought Georgia ■ needed more than anything else, Mr. ! Vanderbilt said: “The only thing I , see that Georgia needs, in my own humble opinion, is an intensive and extensive publicity campaign. Don’t I do it one year and stop—keep it up, year in and year out.” o HENDRYS CHURCH The monthly business meeting of the deacons, officers and the commit tees of Hendrys church, will meet Saturday afternoon, August Sth, at 2 o’clock, at Eagle Grove.

Massey, the postmas ter, announces to patrons of the lo cal office that effective Saturday a new order promulgated by the post office department requires that all parties forwarding C, O.

Then a thought came to him, and he started dropping pebbles, one by one, into the pitcher. At last, he saw the water mount up near him; and after casting in a few more pebbles he was able to , quench his thirst and save his life. Little by little gets resutts. —Aesop's Fables.

I “Over the belt as a whole, owing to' the scattered distribution of the 1 rainfall conditions are much more | spotted than <n a usual year.” 8 PAGES IN THIS ISSUE Three grades of seed: elite, regis [ tered, and certified, will be the stan dards under which the Georgia Crop I Improvement Association will place the seed of its members on the mar- I ket in the future. This action was taken at a recent meeting of the Association held at Athens, and furthermore, all seed ; offered by members of the organiza- I tion will sell their products under a I uniform tag which carries the grow i ers guarantee as to the purity aqd germination of the seed. This is said to be one of the most distinct i ly forward steps taken in seed mar keting in this state, and hereafter purchasers of seed from members of the Crop Improvement Association are given a guarantee as to quality. Field inspection work in done reg ularly by authorized representatives of the Association and germination tests are made in the laboratory when the seed are gathered. Reports from community pure seed associations showed that even though sales of seed were somewhat small last season, most of the mem bers have recognized the benefits of growing varieties of high grade. Where the varieties of cotton with good staple have been adopted, the markets have shown a noticeable im provement. T. B. Thornton, of Hartwell, is president of the Crop Improvement Association, and R. R. Childs, of Ath ens, is secretary. o Some Very Timely Agricultural Items Entries for tho fairs this fall should be under preparation success fully compete with the cheap amuse ments for interest and public at tention. There arc five million acres of land in north Georgia ideally adapted to growing alfalfa. An average of $lB2 worth of tim ber was sold from every farm in Georgia last year. —o — Don’t forget to cull the poultry flock again early in August, and get the producers separated from the non-layers. ——<o—• Better see your county agent soon about vetch seed. He is taking or ders now. More than $25,000,000 is lost to the state annually through forest fires. The second edition of “A Balanced Farm Program for Georgia,” by Dr. Andrew M. Soule, is just off the press. A postal card addressed to the Division of Publications of the State College of Agriculture will bring a copy free. It’s nearly always true that where big fields of alfalfa are found the farmers are prosperous. In one year chickens and eggs worth $1,047,323,170 were produced in the United States. Efforts on the part of the Crop Im provement Association of Georgia have resulted in a great increase in the amount of pure bred seed pro duced in the state. Last year there were 3,574,880 farm-owned automobiles in the Unit ed States, nearly one for every two farm families. Figures from the Federal Depart ment of Agriculture show that 3 per cent of the milk produced in the United States last year was lost by the foot of the cow coming in violent contact with the bucket. Georgia ranks second in the United States in the number of county agents and extension workers, being surpassed only by Texas. o Last Years Cotton Crop Reahced 14,698,000 Bales New Orleans, La.—The American commercial cotton crop for the 1924- 25 season was announced by Secre tary H. G. Hester of the New Orleans Cotton Exchange as 14,698,000 bales, compared to 11,290,397 bales during the previous season. World Consumption. World consumption of American cotton during the 1924-25 season, which ended yesterday, was announc ed as 14,247,000 bales, compared to 11,241,000 bales during the previous season. The world carry-over at the end of the 1924-25 season was announc ed as 2,880,000 bales, compared to 2,319,999 bales for the previous sea son. St. Joseph’s, the church of the Franciscan Fathers in Los Angeles, advises against the use of wedding marches by Wagner or Mendelssohn. “We can well dispense with these compensations,” says St. Joseph’s calendar, “so utterly out of place in the presence of the Sacramental Sa vior, in Whom neither of these two men believed. Save the organist the embarrassment of refusing and your self the humiliation of being refus ed.” NO. 1
