TRADE IN HARTWELL---THE METROPOLIS OF N. E. GEORGIA 8 PAGES IN THIS ISSUE VOL 50 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. o *»»»♦♦♦»»*» * GREATEST ENERGY WILL * BE PUT INTO USE WHEN * « * PROGRAMS BROADCASTED * » • * Washington, D.

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. —o Gas Cut Here Gasoline took a decline in Hartwell Wednesday when Hailey's No. 2 an nounced a price of 24c per gallon. No definite announcement could be obtained from the local distributors | before The Sun went to press, but , it was supposed the reduction wouid be general in this community. o— It is said John D. Rockefeller, Jr., now owns eight residence homes, sweet homes. —The Detroit News. THE HARTWELL SUN. 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. o Athens Gets Next Year’s Session of— _ District Masons Athens will entertain the Masons of the Eighth District at the annual convention of the Eighth District Ma sonic Convention in 1926, that city having been awarded the meeting by the members of the order at Roys ton Thursday.

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. ■ * ♦ • The ancient Hartwell fan rolled over on his bed of ease and, awaken ing, turned to the sport page of one of the daily papers. Glancing over 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.” ■ ■ ■■ ■ ■■■-<)■ - PROTRACTED SERVICES WILL BEGIN AT PLEASANT HILL CHURCH SUNDAY, AUGUST 23 Protracted services will begin Sun day evening at 8 o’clock, at Pleasant Hill Presbyterian church. The public' is cordially invited to atend the services. 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 count of shortage of power they can only pump water to $ the city for necessaries. So, the people are requested to cooperate with the city g ?: and the power company and use only so much water as ■:=: S is absolutely necessary. If this warning is not heeded the Board of Aidermen :£ will have to take drastic steps to force curtailment. i;-: Don't wash cars. Don’t water lawns. : : : : x : Don t water streets. % Don't do anything else that you think might create :•£ a dangerous shortage. This is only a request. No other orders should be >•: necessary. <•: A. S. RICHARDSON, Mayor. August 18, 1925. AUGUST COURT POSTPONED At Chamber* Hartwell, Ga. Auguit 17, 1925 For good and sufficient reasons, I have decided to postpone the August Term, 1925, Hart Superior Court until the second Monday in October, 1925.

HODGES, ' Judge Superior Courts Northern Cir. 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. o Eighth District Dentists Will Meet In Athens August 26th The annual session of the Eighth District Dental Society will be held in Athens on Wednesday, August 26. Dr. Pope B. Holliday, of Athens, who is secretary of the organization, urges every dentist in the District to attend, an interesting program hav ing been announced for the session, ; 8 PAGES IN THIS ISSUE 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. o HOME-COMING AT OLD ANDER SONVILLE ON AUGUST .JOTH There will be a home-coming day at Old Andersonville Baptist church in Fork Township, near the forks of Tugalo and Seneca rivers, on the sth Sunday, August 30th, 1925. Thi sis one of the oldest churches in South Carolina and its few surviv ing members request everybody who ■ ever visited this church, especially the I former members, to be present for the event. We have arranged to have seme of the old former members to give the history of the place, which was once the center of commercial business for the surrounding country. Everybody come and bring well filled dinner baskets and let’s enjoy one more day at Old Andersonville. REV. N. G. WRIGHT, Pastor.
