jCity Schools Open Wednesday, September 2
Hallman again heads strong faculty for 1925-26 session
Large Enrollment Expected
For Approaching Fall Session
Everything In Readiness For Open
" ing Two Weeks Hence Faculty
Chosen With Much Care
The 1925-26 session of the Hart- !
well Schools will open on Wednesday, |
September 2, or just about twenty I
days from now, and every indication
points to another successful year’s
work.
Much interest is being manifested
in the approaching session of the
schools by parents, pupils and
M friends. The outlook is bright for
the Hartwell schools, with a Board
of Education in charge thaf is com
posed of progressive business men,
and citizens who are willing to de
vote their thought and energies to
this important part of our commu
nity life.
The buildings and grounds have
been put in shape, repairs made in
various places, and every detail prac
tically worked out for the opening
-j day.
’ Splendid Faculty.
Headed by Supt. J. I. Allman the
Board of Education has selected with
great care a faculty that bids fair to
accomplish much in carrying out the
program of progress that character
izes the school life of Hartwell and
community.
Not only is Hartwell interested in
her schools, but since being named
as the Senior High School for Hart
county, between 50 and 100 boys
and girls are attending here, after
* having completed the ninth grade of
approved Junior High Schools of the
county.
Through the aid of the Barrett-
Rqgers act the county boys and girls
may take up the work here at a very
nominal cost, and indications are
that the attendance from over Hart
this year will surpass by far the
1924-25 record.
On Accredited List.
» No expense has been spared to
'equip the Hartwell schools, and it is
due to this fact, together with the
selection of a splendid corps of teach
ers, that Hartwell High now is rated
as A-l on the Southern Accredited
List of Colleges.
In this week’s issue of The Sun
appears much valuable information
for pupils and parents, including the
course of study, rules and regula
tions, etc.
The names of those composing the
faculty appears on this page.

PROF. J. I. XLLMAN
The Hartwell school system has for
the past five years been under the ,
guidance of Supt. J. I. Allman, and
holds an enviable place in the eyes
f the people of this section of Geor
gia.
Supt. Allman has long been rec
ognized as one of the State’s lead
ing high school men and Hartwell
has considered herself fortunate in
securing him for these past several
years and again for 1925-26.
He has been spending the summer
at Peabody College, Nashville, Tenn.,
taking some special work. The Sun
just learned indirectly that Prof.
Allman has won for himself and Pea
body a rare distinction, he having
made the second highest percentage
in the world during a test examina
tion just recently. This is evidence
of the type of Superintendent in
charge of our Hartwell schools.
Supt. Allman will arrive within
the next ten days to take up his work
in readiness for the opening Wed
nesday, September 2nd. »

HEAR ROLAND
TURNER FRIDAY
AT 3:00 O’CLOCK
•
The address of Mr. Roland Turner,
Agricultural Agent of the Southern
Railway, to the farmers of Hart
county Friday at 3 P. M., in the
Court House, is being looked forward
To. not only by those who have heard
nim talk before, but by those who
have never heard him.
Indications point to a record crowd
at the court house, and we hope that
it will be necessary to have his ad
dress out on the court house lawn, in
order to accommodate the crowd.
Mr. Turner is a practical farmer,
having been born and reared on the
farm, and having considerable farm
ing interests now. He knows the
farmers’ problems, and is able to
sympathize with him in the solution
of these problems. Along with this,
he has the rare ability to talk with
farmers about these problems in a
way that gives inspiration and en
thusiasm to his hearers.
Mr. Turner is a splendid speaker,
the equal of which you not often
hear. He will present facts in his
address that ought to be heard by
every land owner and renter in Hart
county, along with every business
man who has dealings with farmers.
It has been said that the address
which he will give here Friday has
been worth hundreds of thousands
of dollars to counties into which he
has gone.
Come out and hear him Friday at
3 P. M. Insist on your neighbor
coming. Offer to bring him if he
has no way to come. Now is the
greatest time to hear an address of
this kind,

Many Interesting Talks Made
At Regular Session Kiwanis
The unprivileged child, the unpri
vileged man and the unprivileged
town and community,—-these three
subjects were discussed interestingly
and candidly at the Kiwanis meeting
last Friday, the speakers showing
' that one was naturally the result of
I the other.
I Introduced by chairman W. S.
; Long of the program committee as
! sneakers of the hour were Kiwanians
Z. P. Barron, Thos. B. Thornton, W.
B. McMullan, McL. Brown and Steve
i Skelton, all of whom brought some
i good thoughts on these matters.
Better educational advantages
i mean better boys and girls, conse
quently better men and women, and
then better communities. Health
and other angles were also discussed
during the meeting which was taken
up with this subject so important
to the Kiwanis Club, which fosters a
movement to give every boy and girl
of the land better opportunities than
their parents had along these lines.
President J. A. W. Brown intro
duced our fellow townsman, Hon.
julian B. McCurry, former member
of the Kiwanis Club in Athens, who
i has now become a member of the
Hartw.ell club. He made an enthusi- I
astic talk to the dub and pledged his |
continued support of its work.
The club had as a visitor of the
day, Mr. Thos. L. McMullan, one of
Hart county’s oldest and best known
citizens, who wis the guest of his
son, Hon. W. B. McMullan.
Mr. Long urged every member to
hear Mr. Roland Turner in his talk
here Friday afternoon of this week.
Miss Mary Linder favored the club
with a number of musical selections,
among them one of her own composi
tion, “It’s Florida,” which was very
pretty. The words to the song, we
might mention, were written by her i
father, Kiwanian F. P. Linder.

ROBERT WRIGHT
DIES FROM
INJURIES
Injuries sustained in an automo
bile accident near Starr, S. C.., Tues
day morning of last week proved fa
tal to Mr. Robert Tinsley Wright,
29-year-old Harwell man, death
coming at 6 o’clock last Thursday
morning in the Anderson County (S.
C.) Hospital, where operations had
been performed in an attempt to save
| his life.
Mr. Wright, with his wife, and
brother, J. B. Wright, and Miss Quil
lie Skelton, were en route to Ander
son, S. C., and near the home of Mr.
J. J. Smith at Starr, his car collided
with a car driven by Mr. E. W. Wal
ling, of McMinville, Tenn., who was
accompanied by his family.
The Wright car was overturned,
pinning Mr. and Mrs. Wright beneath
it. Mr. Wright suffered a fracture
of the skull while Mrs. Wright suf
fered a dislocated shoulder. The
other two occupants were only bruis
ed and cut.
Inter-cranial pressure from a hem
orrhage due to injuries to the brain, I
produced his death, according to his
attending physician's statement at
the Coroner’s inquest.
It is understood that Mr. Walling
and members of his family who
were with him, escaped without in
jury, although both of the automo
biles were completely wrecked. Mr.
I Walling, after leaving his machine
) at a local garage, left Anderson for
his home in Tennessee.
Robert Tinsley Wright was born
in Hart county October 23, 1896, a
son of Mrs. T. R. Wright.
About eight years ago he was mar
ried, and he is survived by his widow
and two young girls, Mary Nellie and
i Margaret Wright. His wife was
Miss Marie Hill before marriage.
Three sisters, Mrs. Florence Bus
by, Mrs. Lucius Saylors and Miss
Annie Mae Wright, and two broth
ers, Messrs. J. 8., and Lonnie Wright,
1 also survive.
He had been a member of the Bap
tist church at Sardis for a num
: ber of years, and was a regular at
tendant there. Mr. Wright was
highly respected by all who knew
1 him, a young man of splendid habits
and irreproachable character.
His passing brings sadness to all
' who knew him, and who sympathize
with the grief-stricken parents, wi
-1 dow, children, brothers and sistefs.
> Interment was in the cemetery at
Sardis Friday morning, following ap
i propriate services conducted by Rev.
T. A. Thornton.
Funeral director W. C. Page, of
Hartwell, was in charge of the ar
rangements.

Expert Here Again To Check
Up Data On Tugalo River
Mr. L. J. Hall, of the U. S. Geo
’ logical Survey, stationed at Ashe
, ville, N. C., is spending several days
in Hartwell this week getting data |
on the flow, rise and fall, of the Tu-|
galo river at and near Hatton’s i
Shoals.*
Some months ago Mr. Hall erected
his equipment at that point to deter- i
mine just what might be expected of
the Tugalo, and is here to again look !
into the matter.
The work is being done at the in-i
stigation of the Georgia Railway &
Power Co., which owns the Hatton’s
Shoals property and recently acquir
ed back-water land many miles up
the river, which borders Hart county.
The survey is significant; Hartwell
and Hart county people will welcome
\ the development of this power site
with great pleasure.

50,000 MILES ARE DESIGNATED
AS “U. S. HIGHWAYS”—WILL

Fifty thousand miles of roads, honey
combind the United States from the
Canadian border to the gulf coast
and from the Atlantic to the Pacific,
were selected Thursday by the joint
board on interstate highways as
“United States highways” to he de
signated with uniform road markers.
All Federal Aid Road* Included.
Every federal aid highway in the
United States is included in the sys
tem, which provides for no through
routes, but embraces every state
' capital and most points of national
i and sectional interest.

is completed they will be numbered
iso that tourists traveling on any
road may know from its number the
territory through which he is passing
j and where he is going. The routes
i also will be posted with uniform
i signs informing the traveler of
i curves, roilroud crossings and other
; conditions of the road.

The markers, which will show mo
torists their routes, will be the shield

ber of the road, the state in which
the sign is posted, and the letters
“U. S.”
No new road construction is in
volved in the system other than roads
now planned under the federal aid
program. The board has no power
to maintain the road., or to make any
alteration in the present regular high
ways, but will devote its funds to
the purchase of the signs.
The system literally forms a net
work oner the entire country, includ
ing stretches extending over several
states, along with short spurs of only
a few miles. Under the plan of the

which will be placed at frequent in
tervals.
