HOTELS IN GEORGIA
(Atlanta Georgian.)
Thomasville has a new hotel, and
so has Albany. Both are beautiful
structures modern and up to date.
The Georgian congratulates these
two splendid Georgia cities.
Quitman is planning a new hotel
and so is Valdosta, and a movement
of the sort is on in Moultrie that
promises success.
This is a progressive and progress
ing age in which we live. A Georgia
town—even the “little fellows”—
without its good, modern hotel to
day is at a serious disadvantage.
Tourist trade is heavy; and destined
to be heavier. Hotels in small towns
that for many years appeared to be
doubtful propositions, no longer ate
that. There is a wonderfully fine
little hotel in Hartwell, built through
the sheer pride and enterprise of
the people, that already is known
throughout this entire section of the
country—a splendid advertisement
for Hartwell.
These are signs of prosperity in
Georgia that are encouraging and
enheartening.
RESPECT YOUR CREDIT
When misfortune comes it is to
your credit that you turn for aid.
If your credit at the bank is strain
ed you turn to the credit you have
among your friends.
The average man has in his past
situations from which he emerged
successfully only because his bank
or his friends helped him.
Similar situations maj arise in the
future.
It is a wise policy then for every
man to respect his credit.
No matter how successful a man
may be today, no matter how strong
his present credit rating may be, that
man will be hurt by an ignoring of
his financial obligation.
The man who is careless in the
payment of his obligations is soon
known throughout the city and that
knowledge is not one of which a man
may be proud.
Procrastination rather than lack of
money is the ruin of the average
man’s credit.
He intends to pay and he has the
money to pay but he puts it off un
til his creditors speak of him as a
“man to be watched.”
Respect your credit.-—Waycross

ONE WAY TO DETERMINE IN
VESTMENT VALUES
One of the surest methods of de
termining the worth of any stock or
bond is to seek a loan on it. Before
you put your money into a security
ask your banker how much he would
loan on the security offered you. If
he would not accept it as collateral,
surely you would not want it. Ex
perienced small investors seek a sub
stantial loan value in their invest
ments against the possibility of some
future demands which may make it
necessary for them to borrow on
their securities.

THE HARTWELL SUN, HARTWELL, GA., SEPTEMBER 11, 1925
“FOR WHAT IT’S WORTH”
On last Tuesday night the citizens
of Hartwell held a very enthusiastic
mass meeting at the court house in
the interest of a paving program foi
the city. It was a gathering typical
of this city’s citizenry. After a
packed house had listened to many
very able speeches by various promi
nent leaders in town, it was the unan
imous vote of the assemblage that
bonds be voted for an immediate plan
of paving. A resolution was drawn
up petitioning the Board of Aldermen
to call an election as soon as legally
possible to vote upon bonds.
Hartwell has always been so pro
gressive in all matters pertaining to
civic advancement, that there should
be little anxiety on anyone’s part as
to the outcome of the bond election.
There will be an overwhelming ma
jority in favor of paving—, that is
certain. And with this paving pro
gram there will come an immediate
call for labor and there will be an
expenditure of money that will go
a long ways in helping this section of
north Georgia in its fight against the
drought and hard times. Os course,
as a further argument for bonds,
there is no question but good roads
and a program of paving mean ev
erything to Hartwell and the imme
diate vicinity. Indirectly and direct
ly it means money in the pockets of
every native of Hartwell. It means
the boosting of this section of north
Georgia in away that could not be
touched by any other agency. It
means the assurance in the years to
come of Hartwell’s advancement and
progress in every other phase of civic
endeavor. The writer has no apolo
gies to make on his stand on good
roads, whether it may appear radical
or over exaggerated. Florida and
N»«rth Carolina, two Southern states
who have gone a bit further in pav
ing and the building of good roads
are the best living examples of what
good roads mean to a section of any
part of the country. On those two
states, the argument lies unanswer
able.
The papers a few days ago carried
a detailed account of the suspension
of Geo. Herman Ruth, prominently
known in baseball circles as “Babe”
Ruth. It is a matter of record that
Ruth has broken about every rule
known to organized baseball and on
the whole acted the part of a spoiled
and pampered child in all of his ac
tions. Conceding that he is a great
> ball player he has no other qualities
that could appeal to any other real
sportsman. The truth is, he is a big
"rough-neck” and qlways will be.
Those great foundations of gentle
manly principles are utterly lacking
from this lad and the sooner organ
ized baseball banishes him, the better
i off the general public will be. Who
was it that said, “Once a rough-neck,
always a rough-neck?” Those are
true words.
On the other hand, there’s Ty
Cobb. From our neighboring town,
Royston, a few years this great ball
player suddenly sprang into fame and
now for twenty years and more has
still kept a prestige built up by hard
work and ability. Os all great base
ball players of all times, Cobb re
mains the greatest of them all, head
and shoulders above any other as-
I piring candidate. And to this record
■ may be added the further compliment

paved road from the Savannah river
to Macon, through the very heart
of the “dry region”—and $3,000,000
in road work—because the highway
didn’t pass through their section, or
! in front of their door, will very prob

Danville (Va.) Register Tells
About Mr. Jones Work There
The Danville (Va.) Register car
ries the following news article re-
I garding the selection of Mr. J. B.
Jones, of Hartwell, as Traffic Man
ager for that city:
I “Joseph B. Jones, of Hartwell, Ga.,
has been appointed traffic manager
! for the city and will assume his new
1 duties September 16th, with offices
in the Chamber of Commerce rooms
here. Mr. Jones is well known to
the people of Danville, having begun
■ his railroad work several years ago
in this city with the Southern rail
way. After working with the South
ern for a number of years he accept
ed a position with the Danville &
Western railway as agent here. He
left Danville some years ago to ac-
i cept a position as general manager
of the Hartwell Railway at Hartwell,
Ga., from which position he comes
to Danville. Mr. Jones is an ex
perienced railroad man and the traf
fic committee of the Chamber of
Commerce feels that the city is ex
ceptionally fortunate in securing his
| services. His intimate knowledge of
' the railway Situation here win en
able him to save the merchants of
the city thousands upon thousands of
dollars in freight bills they state.
■ His many friends in the city are de
lighted at his return.
"The services of the traffic bureau,
recently made possible by a $2,000
yearly appropriation by the City
Council and a like amount subscribed
I by merchants in the city, are at the
command of every merchant and
I business man in Danville and those
’ at the head of the project are anxious
! that this service be taken advantage
of. Mr. Jones’ railway experience
and knowledge of correct routings,
etc., will enable him to give expert
advice to the different shippers and
By E.8.8 .Jr.
that he has worn his honors lightly
and his career though it may have
had its stormy periods, has shown
him up as a real sportsman and a
true gentleman worthy of all the con
fidence bestowed upon him. A few
days ago, on t-he anniversary of his
twentieth year with Detroit, the De
troit Ball Club honored him with a
magnificent banquet. Six hundred
guests feted him. Numerous tributes
w-ere paid him by baseball’s celebri
ties and the nation’s prominent men.
The Detroit management gave him a
check for ten thousand dollars and
the city of Detroit was donor of a
thousand dollar Grandfather clock.
All of which affected Cobb deeply
and visibly touched he arose and told
the assembled admirers that he had
done little to deserve all the great
honors paid him and that his greatest
regret in life was that he had been
so selfish all these years! What a
contrast to Ruth’s conceit and be
havior! There could be no more
greater asset to any man’s character
and worthiness than that readiness
to admit MISTAKES and that feel
ing of general unworthiness accom
panying it.
It is the tragedy of life that with
all the good people in the world,
there are also a great number of
undesirables. There are the liars,
for instance.—, people who just re
fuse to tell the truth. In most cases
there people generally do themselves
more harm than anyone else but un
fortunately quite often, too, they
hurt other people and cause trouble
of all sorts. There are many liars
among the tourists that pass through
our gates each day. Some of them
are as accomplished at it as “Major
Hoople” in the papers. Just the
other day, in a neighboring city a
party of tourists stopped at the hotel
for the night and proceeded to give
a highly colored story of their trip
through Hartwell, telling among oth
er things how they had been misin
formed by various people on differ
ent matters. That at a filling sta
tion and another Hartwell place they
had been told that Athens was the
nearest city where accommodations
could be had with light and water
and a long line of other nonsense.
Os course, these people made up the
whole story. It was all bunk. No
body in Hartwell is foolish enough
nor “little” enough to knock any
neighboring city nor w-ould they be
foolhardy enough to try it. Happily,
the other incident came to light and
Hartwell people have speedily as
sured our neighboring town that the
whole story was fabricated.
In the passing, the writer wishes
to add his words of regret along with
hundreds of others in Hartwell at
the leaving of R. E. Cox. “Bob” has
made a host of friends in his short
stay in Hartwell. He has proven a
valuable citizen and a worker of the
highest type in every civic enter
prise. Yea, more than that, may I
not say it of “Bob,” that leaving cut
the success that he made in business
here, his was a nature that brought
confidence, and optimism, and a faith
to those in the closer circle about
him. To know him intimately was
the revelation of a real man and a
true gentleman, kindly, whole-souled
and unsmirched by the least tinge of
selfishness. Here’s luck to you,
Bob!
ONE KIND OF SECURITY
In one section of Texas the crop
failure this year, due to the long
drouth, is even more serious than it
is in this section. The story goes
that the bankers of a certain coun
ty in the stricken area were called
upon by civic bodies to help work out
a plan whereby the farmers could ob
tain money with which to make the
crop for another year. The bankers,
purely as a matter of business, first
asked what security could be offer
ed. They were told.that the farmers
needing the money had nothing to
offer as security, that they barely had
enough money to provide food and
clothing for the coming winter
months. The bankers insisted on
security, and made this proposition:
Every farmer who had no automo
bile, who had done his best this year,
who had a reputation of honest, fair
.dealings, could get what money he
needed to make the next year’s crop
simply by giving his promsiory note;
but the fellow wh,o had an automo
bile, and wanted money, should go
back home, jack up all four wheels,
take them off, bring them to the
bank and with these accessories as
security he could get what money he
needed to make the next crop. With
out the wheels, if he owned a car, he
was flatly refused credit.
We must admit that these bankers
of the Lone Star State have a heart
as well as plenty of good business
sense. Northeast Georgia bankers
might adopt- this plan to good ad
vantage.—Elberton Star.
