NEXT WEDNESDAY “HART COUNTY DAY” STATE COLLEGE, ATHENS
Annual Farm Conference Will Be
In Session—Many Expected To
Take Interesting Trip
Wednesday, August 25th, will be
“Hart County Day” at the State
College of Agriculture, at Athens,
Pa.
* Leaving Hartwell at 8:00 A. M., |
a crowd of farmers will drive to |
Athens to attend the Market Con
ference there, and to inspect the va- |
xious demonstrations and experiments ;
on the College Farm, together with
|he livestock and poultry units.
Elsewhere you will find printed a |
program of the market conference j
for the entire week, and it is hoped ■
that several farmers will arrange to !
stay a day or so for this conference.
Several counties have had days at
the college this year, some having
over 200 farmers to attend from a
distance of 80 miles. It is hoped that
every community will arrange a
to attend from this county.
* You will meet at Athens on the
fK’.mpus at 11:00 o’clock, and attend
part of the conference. Then you j
will eat your lunch. At 2:00 P. M.,
you will assemble in front of the
main building to be escorted over
the college farm. This will take .
about 2 1-2 hours, giving you plenty
,of time to get back before night.
■“( Every farmer should attempt to •
make a trip to the college, which Is i
maintained for your benefit. It will I
be educational, and will be highly ap
preciated by yourself.
If you know of a neighbor who
can use information after he gets it,
and who does not have away to go,
offer him a lift. It will do you
both good.
You will find the college farm run
on a practical basis, regardless of
• what some folks may say. This farm
had built all of the buildings you will
see on the campus, from profits of
the farm. The State of Georgia
erected only the main building, and
the farm has built all of the numer-
/ ous buildings save this one. That ns
proof of practical operations. Go and
see them.

Reed Creek School
Will Open Monday
The 7th, Bth, 9th and 10th grades
will open at Reed Creek on Monday,
' August 24th.
Miss Bertha Hubbard will teach
English and History; Miss Theo Fort
will teach the Domestic Science and
Arts, also Mathematics; Mr. Roy
Hodgsen will teach the 7th grade.
The Vocational Agriculture will be
taught by H. L. Fry.
All of the above teachers were
with the school last year and have
been in summer school during the
past nine weeks.
Owing to the small amount of
farm work to be done this fall, the
coming year should be one of the
most successful years in the history
of the school. The school has recent
ly added two hundred new single
patent desks which will add mater
ially to the comfort of the pupils. No
doubt better school work will be
realized as a result.
Now, more than ever before,
should the people realize the necessi
ty of schooling their children in order
to better prepare them for the bat
tles of life. No one should give up
the idea of sending their children
through ‘High School until every pos
sible resource has been tried. Most
certainly the people who continue to
try and do not give up in advance are
ones most likely to give their boys
and girls the most in educational ad
vantages. There is always away
for the fellow who never gives up,
but continues to do all he can to
help himself.

Soil Improvement Is
Greatest Need Here
Says Roland Turner
Declaring that the apparent dark
| outlook in this section of the South
might, in a large measure, have been
I averted by proper foresight, Hon.
Roland Turner, well-nown agricul
j tural agent of the Southern Railway,
delivered a strong message to the
; Hartwell Kiwanis Club here last Fri
-1 day.
“Poor soil will never stand up un
der a strain, and it is utterly impos
sible for the South to make money
so long as we try farming on this
thin, run-down dirt, —and particular
ly is this true in this section of Geor
gia right at this time,” stated Mr.
Turner, who is a farmer himself and
a man with some twenty years’ ex
i perience in talking with and to farm
ers all over the South.
Mr. Turner stated that the one
basic fact back of it all is soil im
i provement through the growing of
I cover crops, citing an instance just
i across the Savannah river in Green
; ville county, S. C., w’here a farmer
; With 250 acres in 1923 made 127
I bales of cotton on 100 acres, and
from his whole farm cleared $16,-
000 net that year.
“That farmer planted plain old
speckled peas on the 100 acres and
then a bushel of rye to the acre. He
knew that would pay, and followed
out the same plan every year,” stat
ed Mr. Turner.
“And while soil improvement is
first, we must have a mixed system
of farming that will insure the bring
ing in every month in the year of
some money with which to buy the
things we need every month in the
year instead of waiting until fall to
I buy what we should have had in
! June or August. This can be done
| by raising poultry, hogs, cows, the
sale of garden products and fruits,”
; he said.
i He closed with the all-important
| fact that “The one thing Hart coun
ty needs is to improve her soil, and
I I with this will come the ability to bet
ter withstand drouths and to make
! more money than she has ever made
■ before.”
Mr. Turner was introduced by Ki
wanian W. S. Long.
Other Visitor* Present.
Among the other visitors were:
Mr. Enoch B. Benson, of Hartwell.
Rev. J. H. Nichols, of HartwelL
i Sheriff Britt Brown, of Hartwell.
Mr. Jim H. Burton, of Lavonia.
Kiwanian John Nelms, of Gaines
] ville.
Mr. Claude Barrett ,of Gainesville.
Mr. Vance E. Satterfield, of At
lanta.
Mr. J. B. Jones, of Hartwell.
Dr. F. H. Sanders, of Spartanburg,
S. C.
Miss Alma Moore, of Atlanta.
President Brown introduced Ki
wanian Aubrey I. Roper, the Club’s
latest member, who, with the visitors
responded in short, interesting talks.
Spoke To Large Crowd
Mr. Turner, 3 o’clock Friday af
[ | ternoon, addressed a large audience
I of Hartwell and Hart county people
,' in the Court House. His message,
as expected, was very timely and
provoked much favorable comment.
He has visited Hart county before
> and on account of his sincerity and
, j knowledge of agricultural matters is
always given a good hearing.

jnoc’s sport tali>:
| By GEORGE CLARK, JR. |
■IIIIBICIB!HBSIBhB "BjA B :*B' B:.B Mußh ■ B B ■ B ■ ■ B E.i!<
After nine of the most gruelling
holes of golf experienced in many a
day on the Hartwell golf links, four
tired and hungry golfers, who have
since been dubbed the “Ham and
Eggs” foursome, drew up and laid
their clubs down beside the well of
Caretaker Jim Crawford last Friday
afternoon and soon were partaking
of much of the well known "“hobo’s
delight”—namely, water.
One broad-minded and hungry
member of the quartet loudly voiced
his desire to “eat something”—where
upon the four entered the neat and
tidy kitchen in search of some much
desired edibles. In every conceiv
able place they looked but nothing
more than a lone biscuit ar.d a piece
of cornbread could be found. After
the food was equally divided the boys
pitched in and in the short space
of about two “jerks of a sheep’s ;
tail” there was not one iota of food
left. Still hungry the 'foursome left
for their second round of golf.
After witnessing the hungry ex
pressions on the countenances of the
golfers Mrs. Crawford, better half
of Caretaker Crawford, announced
to herself that she would make them
happy—and later she did. She sent
her little daughter, Lucy, out to the
hen house in search of “hen fruit.”
They were found and placed into a
frying pan, together with some good
country ham.
As the four still hungry golfers
came into the home stretch with
four holes on the last round behind
them—there came tipping softly over
the grass a little girl. On second ob
servation it was seen that she held
in her hands a plate of ham and eggs.
Food—where did the little angel
get it?
Clubs and halls were thrown a-!
winding and the gentlemen—for that I
they were —took one deep breath and
when time came for the next breath
the ham and eggs were nowhere to be
seen—hence the name, “Ham and
Eggs” foursome.
Those enjoying the kindness of
Mrs. Crawford and daughter, Lucy,
were J. E. Chandler, Spencer Linder,
Elmer Alford and Louie L. Morris. ■

MANSION SUITS
HART COUNTY
LAWMAKER
(Atlanta Constitution.
Another hat was flung into the
gubernatorial ring during the after
noon session of the house of repre
sentatives Thursday afternoon. The
new candidate is Representative Zel
lars, of Hart county, one of the
younger and most popular members
of the assembly.
During the final roll call vote on
the resolution providing for purchase
of a governor’s mansion, Representa
tive Zellars had chafed more than
usual over the handicaps of his name.
The Hart county man's surname,
by reason of its initial letter “Z”
makes him the last member of the
house to vote on all roll call votes.
And Thursday, as the vote was taken,
it was growing late. Representative
Zellars wanted to go. As soon as
the vote taking began he asked unan
imous consent to cast his vote and re
tire. Some would-be humorist ob
jected. So he had to remain.
It seemed a long, long way through
all the alphabet to “Z.” So he asked
agmin. Again there was objection.
Another member offered a splendid
excuse and secured permission to re
tire. Representative Zellars offered
identically the same alibi—and there
was a whole chorus of objections.
iFailing after a dozen attempts to
get away, the “Z” voter finally wait
ed and, when his name was called,
took advantage of the three minutes
allowed for explanation of vote, to
informally announce his candidacy
for the governorship, in approximate
ly this language:
“Having carefully examined the
proposed governor’s mansion, having
inspected both the house and grounds
| and taken every feature of the resi
dence into consideration, my wife and
I have concluded that the place will
make a suitable residence for us,
therefore I take pleasure in voting
‘Aye.”

its contents, he saw in big headlines,
“Football season near at hand.” And
then one glance at the calendar told
him that, sure enough, the time for
football is almost here.
Hartwell High is planning on a
great team this fall. Two good
coaches have been obtained—Reese
and Suddith—and nothing short of
a championship grid team will satisfy
the hungry fans of the city. With
nine letter-men back for another
season’s activity H. H. S. should have
a fine team.
Jack Magill, Captain-Elect, has re
quested me to announce that the first
practice will be held next Monday
morning at nine o’clock. All candi
dates for the 1925 eleven are re
quested to meet at the school audi
torium at the above time.

Well, folks, the series of ball
with Elberton is over and Hartwell
was able to win the decision in only
two games out of the six played.
Wake Bailey, star pitcher of the Hart
: County League the past season won
both of the games for Hartwell and
deserves much credit for his beau
tiful mound work. He should have
won the first game, also, but errors
at critical moments lost the game.
In ail three of the games Bailey only
gave up an average of around six or
seven hits.
A league for this section of Geor
gia might, and might not, be a pay
ing proposition but we cannot help
but believe that would, in time, be
come recognized as one of the state’s
leading minor leagues. It has been
tried —you say—. Sure, but a league
run at the cost of the Million Dol
lar League was run a few years back
! could not possibly make any re
■ turns. It went broke and so might
the other—but some of you fellows
who have a flew thousand dollars to
invest in Florida land, be safer and
try this out next year.
Reed Creek lost Sam Gray, the
league was too one-sided—those two
reasons are the ones given for the
downfall of the Hart County League.
Last week it was disbanded because
of the withdrawal of two or three of
the teams.
Mount Olivet was crowned as the
league’s champions, however, before
. the curtain was dropped.
NOTICE TO PUBLIC
The Georgia Railway & Power Company has given
notice to the Superintendent of Waterworks that on ac

Don't do anything else that you think might create :•£
a dangerous shortage.

WM. D. BOWERS IS
BURIED IN
ROYSTON
A large number of friends in Hart
well and the county attended the fu
neral and interment of the remains
of Mr. Wm. D. Bowers in Royston
last Friday morning.
The passing of Mr. Bowers came
unexpected on last Thursday morn
ing at his home in our neighboring
city, acute indigestion being the
cause of his death.
On the afternoon before Mr. Bow
ers was a visitor to Hartwell, in con
ference with Mr. R. E. Cox, his as
sociate in the Hart Motor Co., of
this city. He was apparently in
splendid health and had expressed
himself to friends as feeling well.
Wednesday night he retired as us
ual, but could not sleep, he thought,
' for the extreme heat. Getting up he
I went to the store and secured an elec
: trie fan. While there he had a sink
' ing he later told the physicians. Re
turning home he summoned the phy
i sicians who relieved him. After a
I brief sleep he had another attack and
passed quickly.
Mr. Bowers was perhaps the out
standing business figure in our neigh
boring city of Royston, being pres
ident of the Farmers Bank, a director
of the Royston Bank, owner of Bow
ers Motor Co., Royston Hardware
Co., Central Filling Station, Pied
mont Case, and interested in several
other business enterprises. He also
has a large interest in the Ford sta
tions in Hartwell, Lavonia and Ath
ens. He owned several tracts of
farm land and a number of dwellings
and vacant lots in Royston.
He was 46 years of age and is
survived by his mother, Mrs. Laura
Bowers, and one brother, Mr. Sam
Bowers.
Funeral services were front the
Royston Baptist church, Rev. C. W. I
Henderson in charge. The floral of
ferings and large concourse of.
friends gave evidence of the high es- I
teem in which the deceased was hfld. '
The Royston Masonic Lodge had
charge of the services at the grave,
he having been a former Worshipful
Master of that lodge.
Friends here extend their sym
pathy to the bereaved family.

Song By Hartwell
Man And Daughter
Becoming Popular
Copies of the new song, "Oh, It's
Florida,” as written by Mr. Fred P.
Linder, well-known Hartwell btnineM
man and music lover, have been put
on the market and that the charming
bit of music is a hit is evidenced in
the fact that sales are increasing
daily.
Miss Mary Linder, the accomplish
ed and charming daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. F. P. Linder, composed the mu
sic for the song, and after hearing
the music and words a few times the
whole thing seems to "grow on you”
as we sometimes say. J
Previous to its publication in the
form of sheet music, Mr. Linder’a
several verses entitled “Oh, It’s Flor
ida,” had been distributed widely
over our prosperous neighboring
state to the south.
Altogether, it is a remarkable com
bination of Mr. Linder's natural
ability in verse and affords a splendid
j vehicle for Miss Linder’s gifted ex
; pression in music.
We congratulate our Hartwell mu
sic writers on this first production.
