This is a splendid move. By voting bonds Hart county will have her money right ready to co-operate w’ith state and federal aid. The people generally seem to be in favor of road bonds. The plan will work our mules and give employment to hundreds of people during the coming winter and spring. o It Wa* a Rented Hotel, Penn.

Let’s forget SELF just one time and vote for the other fellow’s interest. 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 Journal-Herald. o— _ OLD JOE JONES SAYS— ‘ Hartwell and Hart I county are coming JJ right along.

Joe, You Tell Them. o 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. o .

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 i i “Build By My Home or I’m Against It" I* Not Only Peculiar to t Senators; Every Town and County Has a Few Such People. Those senators who opposed the ■ creation of the “Uncle Remus High way,” that would have brought a 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 ably oppose the plan to have the roads of this section improved as a drought relief measure unless they I and theirs head the list of the ones Ito be “relieved.”—Athens Banner : Herald. 0 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. o Brule, a Frenchman, is said to have been the first white man who ever saw the Great Lakes. In 1616 he returned to Quebec after three years spent in Western exploration and spoke of a “great inland sea.” o The National Board of Fire Un derwriters announces that fire de struction in this country in 1894 amounted to $548,810,639 —the larg est total ever known. This means a daily loss of $1,500,000. During the visit of the British po lice chiefs to this country, Sir Robert Peacock, head of Manchester's po lice. pointed out that in England, Scotland and Wales, with a popula tion of 38,000,000, there were only 71 murders last year, while almost five times that number occurred in New York City. business men in the city as to the way freight to and from the city should be routed thus enabling them to get quicker and cheaper freight service.” ♦III II II IIIIIIl"H <1 MII I I ♦ : ”■ fli ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■■ ■ ■ : :■ | INANCY HART: | I I Case HI j s ~ 1 ■ HARTWELL, GA. ■ ■ ( , ■ ■ • J ■ ■■ ■ ■ ■?!»»« ■■ ■ ■ ■■» 111 ■ I : fl :i■ : 1 : fl r; ■ i Hl ’■ :;l J:: When in Hartwell eat at the ::| Nancy Hart Case isl £ THE HOME OF GOOD EATS if J:: Regular Dinner and Quick ■ J ■:: Lunches a Specialty ■ ■■ all 111111 ih-h< II 111111 ♦ i 1111 < ♦♦♦ 1111111»1111 iii±'*lTj ■ u a a a a a ■ as ■ ■ ■ ■. ■ a ■ ■ a-■ ■- ■ u a a u a Mr. B.
