It takes a mighty long time for
some folks, but sooner or later all of
them find out that nothing can excel
the happiness of a Sunday right here

Plant It Early.
The acute shortage of all feed
stuffs in Morgan county wil bring
about a large acreage sown to grain
this fall. Some agree that the last
of September is not too early to
sow oats in cotton middles. The
longest and hardest winter ever
known is predicted. Early planting
will give strong and vigorous root
growth for the rigid winter months.

“The Land of the Crepe Myrtle.”
Crepe myrtles have begun bloom
ing again all over the South and we
again express our wish that all Pro
gressive Farmer readers might join
in helping make Dixie famous as
“The Land of the Crepe Myrtle.” If
you have none of your own, you
might keep your eyes open as to
where you see crepe myrtle trees
blooming in your community this
summer and borrow a few sprouts or
cuttings for setting out next fall.
No other plant furnishes so much
color and beaut yfor so long a time
■with so little care.—Clarence Poe, in
Progressive Farmer.
DON’T BE HASTY
The man who rushes into an in
vestment usually stands a very good
chance of losing his money. The
fake stock salesman often tries to
hurry the prospect into a decision,
either by claiming that the price will
soon be’ higher or by hinting that
enormous profits are to be made by
getting in on the “ground floor.”
There is always plenty of time to take
advantage of honest investment offer
ings. If one opportunity escapes you
there will be plenty of others. Swin
dling exists only because so many
people, honest in themselves, are
careless enough to hand over their
money before they get all the facts
about the securities urged by sales
men who talk smoothingly of over
night wealth and “tomorrow’s” pros
perity. Remember that investments
that are worth buying are worth in
vestigating.

Fine, Cousin Ed.
“Here Comes Help” is the sign that
appears on a service car operated by
one of our leading automobile estab
lishments. How appropriate and, to
the fellow with a broken-down ma
chine, or to one whose car has tum
bled in the ditch, nothing car bring
greater encouragement and joy. If
every individual of this country, ob
servant of his fellows’ needs, would
let these words be written on his
forehead, humanity’s ills would be
lessened real soon, if they did not
disappear entirely.—Walton News.
The Americans are the first people
whom Heaven has favoured with an
opportunity of deliberating upon, and
choosing the forms of government
under which they should live. All
other constitutions have derived their
existence from violence or accidental
circumstances, and are therefore
probably more distant from their
perfection, which, though beyond our
reach, may nevertheless be approach
ed under the guidance of reason and
experience ...... Every member
of the State ought diligently to read
and study the constitution of his
country .... By knowing their
rights, they will sooner perceive when
they are violated, and be the better
prepared to defend and assert them.

THE SUREST WAY TO ACCUMU-
LATE WEALTH
A number of men have become
rich because of their ability to har
ness the power of electricity, water
and steam. But a much greater
number have become rich, or at least
financially independent, through their
ability to harness the more enormous
power of compound interest. That
is the surest and simplest method of
accumulating wealth. The man who
harnesses electricity, water or steam
takes a chance on making his enter
prise profitable. But the man who
can save consistently need not gam
ble or speculate to achieve results.
By investing and re-investing his sav
ings in high-grade securities he can
look ahead with certainly to a com
petence.
Suppose a man save SSOO each
year, less than $lO a week. This sum
invested at 6 per cent compounded in
twenty years would grow to no less
than about $18,500. Compound in
terest does more spectacular things
than the get-rich-quick promoter can
ever hope to do. It won’t make you
rich over-night. It takes more or
less time, depending upon the amount
’ you can save. It holds out no prom
■ ise of sudden wealth. But it does
' hold out an honest promise of wealth
that is sure, and no get-rich-quick
1 promoter can do that.
A “palindrome” is a word, phrase
or sentence which reads the same
either forward or backward. Here
is a remarkable one in Latin: SATOR
AREPO TENET OPERA ROTAS.
The initial letters unite to form the
first word, the second letters form
the second word, and so on to the
end. The same is true when the
words are read backward.

THE HARTWELL SUN, HARTWELL, GA., SEPTEMBER 4, 1925
“FOR WHAT IT’S WORTH"
By E.8.8.Jr.
With only a matter of seventy
' six intervening miles separating the
two points, one may journey now to
j the Georgia mountains from Hart
■ well and reach Mountain City fairly
| comfortably in* a short time. As far
as Toccoa, the roads encountered are
a smooth stretch of graded highway;
| from there on, the trail becomes a
winding, tortuous climb, over a rocky
hard-bed, which in time, no doubt
will be converted into a beautiful
, mountain highway, worthy of the
i scenery that surrounds it on every
, side. A trip to Mountain City is
’ well worth all the trouble and time
attached to it, from every stand
point. Scenery on all sides unsur
passed, a continuous panorama un
folding swiftly of virgin forests green
and restful; of little mountain
streams flowing serenely along only
to change in an instant to a dashing
current, leaping and roaring with
glee as they rush merrily along over
their hazardous bed of jutting rocks.
And soon, if it be late afternoon,
over a distant mountain a setting sun
clothed in a golden red of indescrib
able beauty sheds its last comfortat
ing rays for a day that is done. And
then for a while that stillness* that
comes just before evening. When
nature is all. bathed in beauty; and
the softer light that still lays upon
the lands lends enchantment to the
view. Os the towering mountains
green, and blue, and golden red, in .
their blend of colors, lying restful '
and waiting. And the flowing streams,
still gliding on with the reflection of ;
a golden sun-set upon its surface, j
mirroring the mighty works of Na
ture on every side. And then night.
And the air becomes cool and a gen
tle breeze springs up and the stars
bejewel the skies in a profusion of
gleaming gems. There is no beauty
comparable to the mountains; the
mountains with their lasting hold
upon the heart. There is a certain I
attraction of the seashore and the j
Western plains and all of Nature but !
the mountains remain eternally su- I
pre me.
The old Mountain City of a few
years back has gone never to return.
Indeed, that can be said of all of she
North Georgia mountain country.
New roads have been built, others are
being planned, an honest schedule of
progressive highway construction on
a tremendous scale has been outlined.
On a recent trip to this section of
Georgia I was more thoroughly con
vinced than ever what an important
factor graded and paved roads will
mean to our mountain country. They
will come quickly and then a string
of modern hotels will be built and
the immediate aftermath will be
thousands of tourists and local tra
vel which will flood an impoverished
section with wealth. North Caro
lina, in its far-sighted action in build
ing good roads many years ago,
taught the rest of the South a valu
able lesson that our people are finally
awakening to and realizing. We
Georgians have just as beautiful a
country as they have only we haven’t
until now been awake to the fact.
With the good roads that are bound
to come in the next few years, watch
old Georgia “step.”

BELIEVE IT
-OR NOT
By GEORGE CLARK. JR.
School has opened!
Yesterday morning at the usual
hour of school the opening exercises ]
were held and one of the largest j
crowds that has ever attended an
opening exercise at the Hartwell High
schools was present. Talks were
made by some of the county’s lead
ing citizens, after which Supt. Allman
named some of his plans for the com
ing school year.
A new feature —that of physical
education —has been introduced in
the Hartwell schools. Mr. Suddith,
who is also assistant athletic director,
has been placed in charge of this
phase of school work. His plans are
' to have a systematic method of phy
sical training—at every recess all pu- i
pils will be given a certain kind of I
' sport to participate in. For instance:
one day a bunch of students will play
volley ball and the next day the same
bunch will play football or baseball,
as the case may be.
This is a decided improvement
over the old method—-it gives every
student a chance for wholesome re-
I creation. In the days of old there
, were always some who would not
i play at recess and would sit around,
instead. One can readily see that
' Prof. Allman and his faculty believe
! in the adage, “All work and no play
! makes Jack a dull boy.”

Fir»t Football Practice.
The initial football practice of the
1925 season was held yesterday*-af
ternoon, Coach Lewis Reese being in
charge of the season’s first work
i out.
Around thirty boys reported for
the first practice. For the first week
i or so practices will be devoted largely
: to handling of the ball and loosening
up of muscles which have grown hard
because of the summer's activities.
♦ %
Hard Schedule On Hand
Although no definite announcement
has been made regarding the sched
ule for the fall. Hartwell High will,
nevertheless, have a hard one to fill.
Three games especially are looked
forward to by the football boys—the
games with Athens High, in Athens,
Gainesville, in Hartwell, and Lavonia
in Hartwell.
It is very probable that by the lat
ter part of next week something
definite can be anonunced.

; Thursday Gala Day
Outside of any possible chance for
of fifty or more miles from franklin,
iN. C.,. over a picturesque graded
mountain highway studded with rav
ishing splendor, the way leads to
Bryson City, N. C. Here is a little
city snugly nestling in the foot-hills
of the Great Smokies, through which
the Tuckaseegee river flows, adding
further enchantment to a mountain
ous section. And here, firmly fixed
upon a sightly hill overlooking all
the city, is “Fryemont Inn,” the most
delightful hotel I have visited in
i many a day. “Fryemont Inn” offers
its guetss all the peace and the* charm
j of a mountainous country combined
with the luxuries and comforts of an
up-to-date city hotel. The building
itself is a marvel of architecture.
From the outside it wears the benign
look of some sheltering Inn of older
i days, with its low length of roomy
building. In the inside, a veritable
j vision of well-planned artistry meets
I the eye. Natural finished walls in
I room and lobby, left just as hewn
i from the forest, great oaken doors
| with hand-made latches and hinges,
immense open fire places in the sun
parlor and dining room large enough
for whole logs, each individual guest
room fitted just as luxuriously as a
i modern city hotel W’ith the added
I touch of unfinish, virgin wood. Al
' together, a charming spot and a place
that 1 would have been delighted to
have tarried for a length of time.
1 “Fryemont Inn” was a revelation to
me, because it was a living proof of
what can be accomplished w’ith nat
ural beauty and also what any small
place may contrive in the way of a
hotel. It is just the beginning of
what every mountain resort town, no
matter how small it is, will have in
the next few years.
September is here upon us. An
other summer gone. With most of
us a pleasant, diverting one, too. It
has beun good to lay aside work for
a while, to get (jack home again with
old friends, to walk the old paths
and linger and while the time away
in those treasured spots of boy-hood
days. It has been good to revel in
the comradeship of those chosen
friends in and around Hartwell and
to feel that warmth of understanding
and sympathy and. interest that
means so much in life. Amidst those
busy days of fall just ahead with per
haps their full quota of iliscourage
irtttnt and petty worries, my thoughts
will be of home constantly, and in my
heart there will be a place reverently
set aside for those whom I love
more than life
“Th*’ summer gone—T love it so—
I hopwd that t would’ never go;
I was enchant>«d by ita: spell!.
But I knew I must not love too well—
Day comes ere night and sun ere
snow.
One summer I was witi you, though;
At nigltJ, we witched Uie miwnlight

Dreamed days while sun through
branches fell,
Tlw Summer gone.

The Summer goma:”
rain last Thursday was a gala day in
the minds of Hartwell’s sport Severs.
Four things made it a success,, which
are as follows:
1. The victory of Atlanta over
Nashville.
2. The defeat of New Orleans at
the hands of Memphis.
3. The Hart County Stars” vic
tory over Toeooa.
4. Hartwell’s Crackers.— a team
composed of high school bays,—in
their victory over Centerville.

Cox Shoots Same More.
R. E. Cox, of whom tins cwlumn
has spoken before, shot another pret
ty score Thursday afternoon. He
missed his former record by one
stroke—Thursday be shot a 39 in
stead of a 38.
Anyway—it’s good, shooting.

Hartwell Defeats Tocctu.
The Hart County Stars defeated !
Toccoa for the second time of the
week last Thursday, the final deci—
l sion being 6-1 in favor of the Stars,
Bailey pitched, again and, as usual,
was in good form.
Hartwell bad crushed Toccoa the
day before by an 11-6 score.

Charlie’* imagination.
In days of old when knights were
bold it was said that Charlie Teadey
had a very vivid imagination—th;-.s. he
could believe there was a plat® of
fried chicken in front of him and
would get much satisfaction o<t of
the very fact that he drew his
imagination to that extent.
Dear reader, turn over to she fi
nancial section—or whatever section
it is that Charlie’s Weekly Sinile is
on—and read his story for tljs week
and I think you will laughs rather
than, snule at Mr. Teasley’s imagina
tion. He pictures Hartwell as being
a thriving metropolis with f<»ur or five
sky-scrapers and street cars and, in
general, everything that gtres to make.
!up a real, live city. We congratu
late Charlie on his imagination and
hope that everything he says will
I come true, but—
We can’t see how in the world
' Charlie figures it out that we will be
married by that time. It is only
twenty-five years hence.

Mittenwald, Bavaria, rs the heme’ of
■ome of the most famous violins of
the world. It is the Cremona of Ger
many. Walking down a street’off Mit
tenwald, one begins to believe■ tHat
violin making sis the only thing that
goes on there at all. As a matter of
fact, it is this Industry that keeps
Mittenwald alive. Its violins are ex
ported to all the countries of Europe
and America. This Industry was es
tablished In the early part > ot the
Eighteenth century when Mittenwald
was in a most impoverished state as a
result of the Thirty Years’ war. Since
then it has prospered and flourished
and the inhabitants of Mittenwald
have good reason to be grateful to
Matthias Klotx, founder of its- violin
industry.
