One advantage in having trouble

If one extreme follows another we

Let’s pave the streets and build

A Texas jury decided a man “can”
slap his wife. Sure he “can,” that
is if he’s physically able, but with the
modern improvement of the female
aim he’s mighty nigh committing
suicide when he does slap.
The hotter it gets and the dryer
the weather the more invigorating is
that wonderful, succulent, exhilarat

a glass or two for supper. ,

Can’t Miss It.
We are looking forward to Sep

There may be money growing on
every bush in other parts of

The highway speed limit in Geor

hour. This doesn’t mean that you
have to make 40 per; it simply means
that you can go that fast on the

Hartwell** Going To Do It.
The greatest need for Commerce as
we see it, .is paved streets. It would
be a fine thing to do. Why not
wake up, Commerce, to this fact and
get busy. Other towns in this sec
tion are wide awake to this great ad
vantage, and have already done
much of this kind of work.—Com
merce News.
o
Citizenship.
The man who takes the oath today
to preserve, protect and defend the
Constitution of the United States
only assumes the colemn obligation
which every citizen should
share with him. The Constitution
which prescribes his oath, my Coun
tryman, is yours; the laws and the
entire scheme of our civil rule, from
the town meeting and the State cap-
end the National capital, is
yours. Every voter, as surely as
your chief magistrate, under the
same high sanction, though in a dif
ferent sphere, exercises a public
trust. Nor is this all. Every citi
zen owes to the country a vigilent
watch and close scruting of its pub
lic servants and a fair and reason
able estimate of their fidelity and
usefulness. . .. This is the price
of our liberty and the inspiration
of our faith in the republic.—-Grover
Cleveland’s First Inaugural, 1893.
An Argument For Paving.
A friend of ours from another
nearby town explained to us the other
day how it happens that we have so
many children in our midst who can
not talk plain. His explanation is
“that whde quite young and are be
ing driven over the rough streets of
Commerce, the child just naturally
bites the end of its tongue off.”
Maybe so. —Commerce News.
—— o
Hartwell completed recently a
$7,000.00 building for her colored
schools. Geo. E. Archibald is prin
cipal of the institution, and is do
ing a great work amongst the col
ored boys and girls. This week’s Sun
carries a photograph of the lew
structure. —Hartwell Sun.
Archibald is a former teacher of
the Butler colored school and made
good here. We are glad to hearcon
tinued favorable reports from him.
—Butler Herald.
o
There are some people who think
it is a sin to pay five cents Tor a
newspaper, as they believe tnat a
newspaper is only publiished for -the
fun of giving it away to deadbeats.
But such fellows never step into a
j dry goods store and make a request
for a five cent pocket handkerchief,
or go to a soda fountain and expect
a cooling drink free of charge.—
Sandersville Progress.
Let’s Pave, Hartwell!
“Our homes are not on the streets
to be paved and very likely the street
in front of our office will not be
paved for a time, but we are for pav
ing and anxious to bear our part of
the expense. What helps main street
in Hartwell will help those of us who
live and work a block or two away,”
says Editor Morris, of The Hartwell
Sun. That’s the right sort of spirit
with which to build a town.-—Monti
cello News.
o
Will Plant Oats.
With a shortage of corn and other
crops facing them the farmers in
this section are planning on plant
ng a bumper cro pof oats in Sep
tember. Accordnig to successful
farmers, September is the best time
to sow oats and we hope that the
farmers will get planted as early
as possible. We are due for a hard
winter according to weather pro
phets and the earlier they are sown
the better they wil Istand the win
ter. —Royston Record.

Keep Telling It.
Wrigley, the chewing gum man,
has explained how he built up a
business of millions of packages a
day.
He has done it by sticking to his
one line and advertising it. He
spends over a million dollars a year
in buying newspaper space to tell
the world about 5 cent chewing gum.
He has educated people to chew gum
and to chew Wrigley’s. He did not
stop shouting as soon as he attract
ed attention.
He says you must keep it up or
the buyers will forget you. Wheth
er yours is a 5 cent or a $50,000
business, keep telling about it.

CHICKEN-BRAINED FEUDISTS
Recently while out driving we saw
two little frying-sized roosters in the
road fighting.
So engrossed were they with tlieir
persona) differences that the pro
longed blowing of the horn, the rapid
approach of what would be death for
them unless they quit fighting and
got out of the way, meant nothing.
It seemed as though each of these lit
tle feathered belligerents was say
ing: “What care I for a life and
death matter. I am too busy en
joying this scrap.”
Knowing that all chickens killed
by passing automobiles immediately
achieve the Heaven of Purest Bred
Stock, we detoured this little war
and passed on.
But as we passed we could not
help but think of human beings we
know, who, like these little roosters,
keep so busy with their personal dis
likes and enjoy so much the indul
gence of a hatred of some one else
that they ignore the approach of
weightier matters.
We remembered how hi some pub
lic movements we have known, wo
men have refused to serve on commit
tees, because some other women they
disliked were on the same committee.
They failed to see that the movement
was more important than personal
dislikes, just as these excited little
roosters thought that one more vici
ous jab at an opponent wfis more im
portant than getting out of the path
of an automobile.
We remembered how in some pub
lic movements, men we have known,
have fought the movement because
it was initiated by men they disliked.
With a reasoning power worthy of
the scrappinig roosters, these men
could see nothing more important in
the movement than an opportunity
to hurt some one they disliked.
What foolish mortals are we to
stand in the path of coming great
events ignorant of their approach be
cause our whole attention, chicken
brainedly is concentrated on some
petty personal difference.—Waycross
Journal-Herald.

THE HARTWELL SUN, HARTWELL, GA., AUGUST 28, 1925
“FOR WHAT IT’S WORTH’"
By E.8.8..Jr.
It is wi|h a great deal of pleasure
that Hartwell and Hart county points
to her member in the Georgia Legis
lature this present session. In
Broadus Zellars as Representative
our county is being ably represented.
Always ambitious, superbly fitted
with a thorough education, keenly
alert to the needs of his constituents,
Mr. Zellars has made an enviable
record in the Legislature even
though it is his first attempt at a
position of public trust. As a rule,
new members, as a matter of prece
dence and through a candid lack of
knowledge of the general situation,
are little thought of and have Ittle
prestige in their first year in the
Georgia Legislature. They belong
to the class of the uninitiated. They
are nonenities. They are shunted
off with a few unimportant commit
tees and their main duty is answering
the daily roll call. Not so with our
Mr. Zellars. He has been given a
place on some of the most impor
tant committees at the present ses
sion and along with those important
duties has found time also to quickly
assume a place of prominence as
member in the House. It is also a
further complimont and an asset de
serving of mention that our Repre
sentative has not only voted and
taken a definite stand on all ques
tions but has also felt his convic
tions strong enough to VOICE them
on the floor. The writer has always
thought anything worth believing in
is worth fighting for, and in a Legis
lative body that member who is most
valuable to his respective county is
that one who not only will vote right
but also has enough confidence to
get up and express his sentiments be
fore his fellow legislators.
“Anything worth believing in is
worth fighting for.” There is noth
ing more pitiable, in a human, than
a man who never takes a “stand” on
any question. That moves always
through life, side-stepping all issues,
without the man-hood to speak out
and express his personal convictions
be they right or wrong for fear of
hurting his popularity or standing.
It is same in every phase of the
world. Any business that has no
aim, no ideal to live up to it, de
serves to die. Any newspaper, that
throttles the voice of right as it sees
it, and is afraid to print its views
on public questions, is a mighty poor
excuse for a printed sheet. Always,
as I traveled the West, out in Colo
rado, in Denver there was a great
newspaper, “The Denver Post,” which
in spite of “knocks” by the thou
sands and a continued fight by pre
judicial enemies, calmly continued its
way. And ‘ calmly continued its
way, gloriously successful. “The
Denver Post” took a definite stand on
every question and though it was
wrong many times, it was brave
enough to fight for those things it
believed right. Belittle them as we
may, that great chain of newspapers
that circle our country known as the
Hearst papers, have wielded a pow
erful influence on public opinion and
my personal admiration goes out to
them because they are never on the
fence in any question. Rather, they
put every ounce of their enegy into
every vital topic and fight the fight
of the valiant for a successful finish.
Getting back to the subject of
Legislatures and Legislation, in all
the mass of bills discussed and pass
ed, very few are really essential or
important. Indeed, outside the gen
eral appropriations voted upon, a
great deal of time is wasted and
very little accomplished worth-while.
Most states now have the Legislative
Sessions every two years. Georgia
could very nicely get along with hers
every four years according to the
good accomplished. This is not
meant for a reflection on our law
makers, rather it is a situation due
to the natural course of events. We
have entirely too many laws. Mak
ing new ones complicate rather than
clarify the tangle. What we really
need is enforcement of old laws.
With all the constant talk of pav
ing and good road-building, it is
gratifying at last that the disgrace
ful mix-up in the Georgia Highway
Commission has been finally settled.
Through unnecessary intervention,
through petty politics, through in
efficient management, through utter
lack of knowledge of practical road
building, the state of "Georgia has
been seriously hampered in her road
building program. The writer's sym
pathy is entirely with Governor
Walker in the whole matter. Re
gardless of every other side-light of
the subject there was sufficient
grounds for investigation and a pull
ing out of certain members. What
would have been a happy solution
of the whole matter, would have been
a dismissal of the entire commission
and a selection of a new personnel.
Until the state of Georgia gets men
into this important post who have
some vision, who have some business
ability and who have even some
slight knowledge of road-building, we
never will have any roads in Geor
gia. All of which is the opinion of
the writer; “The Sun” maybe differ-
I ing.
On a smaller scale it's the same
situation in Hart county. We will
;never have good roads through our
own territory until the people are
awakened to their advantages. There
must be a “vision” and there must be
campaign of education. It is, in
deed, a sad state of affairs when you
approach a man and glowingly touch
on the new paving program or good
road building to be answered by the
dampening answer, “Well, what will
paving do for me? I don't get any
money out of these tourists!” Ye
Gods!
Always there's “a silver lining.” |
Amidst all of our gloomy times, our
most pessimistic crop reports, our
seeming ruin and destruction ahead,
there's always HOPE. Bright, al
luring, it stands ahead holding a
hand of faith to those who would
reach out for it; mirroring the tint
and glow of the rain-bow for the
courageous to bathe in; breathing,
pulsing, surging with that elixir of
life that bids us hold on for better ,
things. Hope! what a wonderful
thing it is! Yea, and Faith, too.
May I never lose that, nor feel the
poison of disillusion scatter the
seeds of doubt in my being. Every
man has troubles, many of them seen
by the outside world. Others, smile
and go on and laugh with the world
when inwardly theirs is a spiteful
tempest blowing the hurricane of sor
row and despair w’ithin their hearts.
“Yesterday is naught but a Fable.
Tomorrow, a Prophecy. Today, a
Reality. Therefore, sigh not for the
yesterday nor fear the tomorrow, but
strive valiantly today so that thy
ambitions may prophesy a Glorious
Reality when Tomorrow is Today.”
