<THE WHY of
SUPERSTITIONS
By H. IRV IN Q KINQ
d I 1 ■
DEVIL’S DARNING
e NEEDLES
1
PKW people realize what a great
mass of persistent superstition i
underlies our modern culture—how,
j though the temples of Isis and Osiris I
1 are crumbling by the banks of the
_ Nile; the “stars glimmer through the
1 loops of time” in the Roman coll
f spurn, Thor and Odin reign no longer
t in the Norseman’s heaven and Stone-
J henge Ih-s Druidless upon Salisbury
plain, the superstitions evolved in the
1 days when these things belonged to
a living present and not to a hoary
past remain still with us, descended
{■ from all these various sources, ap
-3 parently indestructible and forming a
. part of the lives of the people in the
j present day.
s The superstition regarding the
? dragon fly or, as it Is popularly called,
the devil’s darning needle, is an in
■ herltance from Norse mythology. In
I Scandinavia the dragon fly is called
t the troll’s needle, or troll’s spindle.
and is regarded by Norwegian chil
dren as It is by the American child.
. In our name we have simply substi
-1 tuted “devil” for "troll.” Who has
not, when a child, brushed away with
’ fear a hovering devil’s darning needle
“ lest It should "sew his mouth up,” or
"sew his ears up"? The superstition
J differs hut it is generally the mouth.
The mouth is the original form of the
superstition and the reason for tills
Is apparent. The trolls hated noise
. above all tilings—it reminded them
■ of tiie days when they fought with the
gods and Thor threw ids hammer
I after them. Children are apt to be
noisy and thus awaken unpleasant
recollections; wherefore the troll's
' needles sew up their mouths to keep
them quiet. In Icelandic literature
the trolls were giants; but in Norse
literature they later became dwarfs,
which was probably the result of
I their unsuccessful attack upon the
i gods. A belief in the trolls still ling
I ers in the Scandinavian peninsula.
They are the "hill people,” the “little
neighbors” who live in the interior of
’ hills and correspond somewhat to the
"brownies” of Scotland. They are In
general well disposed but easily of
fended, especially by any noise, and
sadly given to petit larceny. In
I America the devil's darning needle
superstition is confined entirely to
children, but among them is universal.

I Football Practice To Begin
Soon With Fine Prospects
By GEO. S. CLARK, JR
If talking has anything at all .° do tne’of°the greatest
team then Hartwell High is destined to have ted as one o f the
grid teams ever turned out since football was inaugurated as one oi tne
the pr».pe«u of the They ea„
be seen in almost every nook and corner talking °
fan about what kind of grid aggregation Will be developed fall.
All thoughts of the stinging defeat dished out to the !ocal team a
Grange in the last game last year have d.ed from the hearty
of the most ardent admirers in the city and all look with eager e and
hopefulness to the opening of the 19 25 season. , * »
♦ • •
Os the sixteen men awarded letters '
on the 1924 team seven have left
Hartwell High and joined the ranks
of previous stars. Four of these
were on the line and three in the ;
backfield. Skelton, Holland, Hill 1
and Teasley were the linesmen and
Massey, Morris and Mann the back
field stars.
» * »
SEVEN MEN LOST
First of all comes that brilliant
player “Cummins” Skelton, captain
and star center of the 1924 grid
machine. Skelton probably made
more tackles than any other man on
the team and was widely known for
his level-headedness. He will cer
tainly be missed when tEe first call
is issued the latter part of August.
Teasley and Hill, guards, were two
of the best and most consistant play
ers on the team. Teasley was injur
ed the first of the season and would
have stayed out the rest of the season '
had he taken the advice of his phy
sicians, but his loyalty to his Alma
Mater and his love for the game
quickly brought him back into ser
vice. Holland and Hill, the first
named the running mate of Teasley
and the latter a tackle, both played
stellar ball throughout the season
and did their share in bringing vic
tory to the Hartwell eleven.
When Massey and Morris entered
the class of “have beens” Hartwell
High lost two of the best athletes
that have ever worn the orange and
black colors of H. H. S. For four
years Massey and Morris toiled to
gether on the football, basketball,
baseball and track teams, both be
ing four-letter men.
Mann completes the list of back
field men—and during his football
career at Hartwell High made a good
reputation. Mann’s “long suit,”

NINE LETTER-MEN BACK
Nipe enthusiastic youths, all full of
pep and hopefulness, and members of
, the 1924 varsity eleven, will answer
i the call when Coaches Reese and Sud
dith blow their trumpet. These men
are: Captain-Elect Magill, Leard,
Carter, Shiflet, Frank Skelton,
Brown, Johnson, Bailey and Rogers.
The two ends will probably be held
down by Leard and Magill, a couple
of good players on the ’24 team.
Shiflet, at tackle, and Brown, at cen
ter, are the other letter-men to fill
positions. The guard positions will be
open—sb will one of the tackles.
In the backfield Johnson, Bailey
and Rogers are the 1924 varsity
members expected to practice. Oth
ers of the squad, however, will be
| there at the first call.
Gainesville, Royston, Braselton,
Athens and Lavonia will be on the
schedule for the coming season. It
might also be possible to arrange a
game between Hartwell High and
Lanier High, of Macon. In this case
the boys on the team would be given
a nice trip—but if they do take it,
here’s hoping they come out better
than last year’s team did with La-
Grange.
Braselton will be played in Brasel
ton for she came here last season
for a game. Hartwell owes Ath
ens a return game this season; also
a return game to Lavonia. Royston
and Gainesville will be encountered
on the home lair of the orange and
black gridders.
Coaches Reese and Suddith will ar
rive the latter part of August to
make plans for opening practices.
