THE SOUTHERN SERVES THE SOUTH A buyer as well as a carrier of 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. w SOUTHERN RAILWAY SYSTEM THE HARTWELL SUN, HARTWELL, GA., SEPTEMBER 11, 1925 ; BELIEVE IT ; -OR NOT i • By GEORGE CLARK, JR. I S J 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., Mfrs., Buffalo, N. Y.

Propr. —OUR— WEEKLY SMILE (C.J.T.—Phila.,Pa.) < - 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. —o The murder rate in the United States is forty times as high as that of Switzerland.
