THE SOUTHERN SERVES THE SOUTH
A buyer as well as

Southern products
»
The industrial resources of the South
are so diversified that the Southern
Railway System is fortunately able
to purchase a large part of its supplies
along its own rails.
While we are carrying the products
of our shippers to the markets of the
country, we are also buying from
them for our own use coal, iron,
lumber, cross-ties, equipment, rails —
the thousand and one things that are
needed to operate and maintain a
railroad system of the magnitude of
the Southern.
The Southern is a buyer as well as a
carrier of Southern products.

h Since the opening practice of the
I: football season last week interest has
II increased considerably and each new
, born day finds a more definite shape
I to things in the way of a nice little
i grid machine for Hartwell High this
Fall.
I Each afternoon around twenty can
| didates report to Coach Reese and
under his guidance are already un-
I dergoing some heavy workouts. By
| the earlier part of next week Reese
. hopes to have his men in shape to go
1 through gruelling afternoon of scrim-
I age.
Two positions, both important
ones, are now the chief centers of
I thought—those of quarterback and
center. Brown, last year’s utility
center, has been shifted to the ’back
field and will probably remain there
unless a real center can be produced
from the green material on hand at
present. No quarterback has been
found to fill the position vacated by
last year’s quarterback.

Two Gamei Billed.
Two games have already been as
sured of by athletic officials of the
school. These two games are with
Athens and Gainesville. Hartwell
will play Gainesville, here, on Octo
ber 3, and Athens, in Athens, on
November 13.
A request for a game on September
26th has been received from Carnes
ville and it is very likely that Hart
well High will lock horns with the
Franklin county boys at that time.
The game will be played here.

Mercer Glee Club Return*.
Announcement was made Friday at ,
the regular weekly luncheon of the I
local Kiwanis Club that the Mercer
Glee Club will again grace a Hartwell
stage this Fall.
The time has been set as Novem
ber the nineteenth. At first the date
was arranged for the evening of-lhe
eighteenth but as the eighteenth falls
on Wednesday it was thought best
to bring the club here a night later
so as to insure a larger attendance.
Hartwell now has, since the gradu
ation of Elmer Alford, only one of I
her sons on Mercer’s Club: Julius ;
Johnson.

Jone* Retain* Golf Title.
For the second time in as many
consecutive years Bobby Jones, of
Atlanta, won the National Amateur
Golf Championship of America.
Jones ruled a strong favorite
throughout and his playing was sen
sational, indeed. Jones’ work, how
ever, was not the only high spots in
tournament play. A fellow towns
man, Watts Gunn, gave the sporting
world enough to talk about till the
next affair when he first qualified and
then proceeded to set his 'opponents
down until he was at last conquered
by the mighty Jones himself.
From the very beginning Gunn was
the star of the tournament. For a
nineteen year old youth to enter a
national tournament such as the one
held in Pittsburg and come out as
well as he—why, fhan, that’s some
thing extraordinary!
Yet —“Youth must be served.”
STOP THAT~BACKACHE!
Many Hartwell Folk* Have Found
the Way.
Is a dull, nerve-racking backache
wearing you out? Do you feel older
and slower than you should? Are
you tired, weak and nervous; find it
impossible to be happy, or enjoy the
good times around you? Then there’s
something wrong and likely it’s your
kidneys. Why not get at the cause?
Use Doan’s Pills —a stimulant diuretic
to the kidneys. Your neighbors
recommend Doan’s. Read what this
Hartwell resident says:
J. G. Dickerson, stock dealer, says:
“I had sharp pains in my back and if
I stooped I had a time of it to
straighten. My kidneys acted irreg
ularly and the secretions passed too
freely. They were as clear as
spring water and at times were
scanty and annoying in passage. I
purchased Doan's Pills at Herndon’s
Drug Store and after using them a
short time I was relieved.”
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan’s Pills —the same that Mr.
Dickerson had. Foster-Milburn Co.,

WEEKLY SMILE

Before any small town can become
a city it is necessary for that town
to attract some me of wealth to it.
To do this the town must be a good
town in every respect. To begin
with, Hartwell is ideally situated on
a direct line between the East and
the South. It is blessed with a
high type of people, unusually good
churches and schools, the streets are
well laid off, there is a magnificent
hotel, a fine lighting system and a
good supply of pure water. But,
there is one thing lacking which will
continue to hold the town back re
gardless of how hard the people
strive to make it grow .into a city
and this one thing is PAVED
STREETS. Those who oppose the
plan to pave some of the city’s streets
should realize that this is one step
that must be taken before any real
progress in the direction of a city
will be noticed.
Every small town has the struggle
of its life when it comes to the ques
tion of expansion in any line and
the reason that so few towns grow
into cities is because 80 per cent of !
the towns lose out in the struggle. I
There are usually enough “pull j
backs” in 80 per cent of the small I
towns to succeed in preventing the
city from expanding. Those towns
which do become cities are the ones
which win out over the “pull backs.”
If you were to poll the City of
Hartwell you would be surprised to
learn how many old “pull backs”
there are within the city’s limits.
There are numbers and number:; of I
them. You don’t realize that they I
are there until some new project for ■
the betterment of the city is decided
upon. Then is the time you #ill hear
of them and they’ll work day and
night to defeat the plan. They are
contented to be small and live in a
small town. It is not so much the
question of increased taxation that
worries them for that can easily be
taken care of as Pennsylvania did —
add two cents a gallon to- the price of
gas. They are, just as I said before,
against anything that will tend to bet
ter the city. It is hard to believe
that our own Hartwell possesses any
of these old “pull backs” but they
are there just the same. I could
name quite a number of them with
out any trouble.
Grasshoppers by the thousands in
vaded Philadelphia and are seen hop
ping over the streets in the downtown
section of the city. They are the
red legged type and are said to be
harmless to crops. Fishermen have
no trouble securing good bait these
days. There is a type of grasshop
per, however, called the Rocky Moun
tain grasshopper which is most de
structive. Remember how Miss Mil
lie Brown used to sing about him,
years ago, “Grasshopper sittin’ on a
sweet ’tater vine—eating up all the
leaves—-when along came a turkey
gobbler creeping up behind and
grabbed grasshopper off of the sweet
’tater vine.”
I am afraid that we of the- South
do not fully realize the good that
is being wrought by prohibition in the
large cities of the North and. East.
Being a resident of Philadelphia (pro
tempore) and a subscriber of the
New York Times, I have watched,
pretty closely, the gradual but sure
elimination of the open saloon in
these two cities. For some time af
ter the passage of the Volstead Act
the saloons of Philadelphia continued,
to sell whiskey and beer open and
above board, with protection, but
even with an old distiller at the head
of the Prohibition Enforcement Bu-
I reau of the United States (Andrew
IW. Mellon, Secretary of the Treas
lury), prohibition enforcement is ac
complishing results here and in New
York.
Mr. Buckner, the new, young Dis
trict Attorney of New York City, has
closed some of the oldest dives of
that city—the kind that have always
been frequented by the wealthy peo
ple of New York. A number of
these places have voluntarily closed
their doors on account of not being
able to keep going selling near beer.
The World League against alcohol
ism in New York states that in an
area of 42 blocks, in the lower east
side of New York, the section known
as the Bowery, Essex, Hester and
Houston, there has been a decrease
of from 257 SALOONS IN 1916 TO
19 IN 1925. Several of these blocks
had as many as 14 saloons in them.
This section of New York is the most
densely populated territory in the
world and is composed - of 98 per cent,
foreign population.
In Philadelphia, General Butler,
although hampered in his work by
the politicians, has closed many of
this city’s worst dives and, with only
a few exceptions, a drink of real
beer or liquor over the bar is a
thing of the past It is to be hoped
that the new arrangement made by
the Prohibition Enforcement Bureau
will eliminate a great deal of politi
cal interference as each officer’s ter
ritory now comprises parts of more
than one state.
Some men evidently thought that
when the preacher asked, “Do you
promise to love, honor and OBEY?”
he was talking to the man.
Before I came to Philadelphia I
had heard of the famous New Jersey
mosquitoes but could not believe that
they were any’ worse than the kind we
have down South, but believe me
when I tell you that upon examina
tion of one of these New Jersey
“boys” with a magnifying glass, I
found that they travel around with a
hammer and a nail.
