{ The attendance at all of the ser
vices of our church was much bet
ter last Sunday than we have had in
some time. The people are all re
turning from their vacation trips in
the best of nature, and they seem to
desire to get down to real serious
church work. Our Sunday school has
been growing for two or three Sun
days recently. The heart of the pas
-ler was made to rejoice last Sunday
morning when such a fine audience
greeted him at the hour of worship.
The Intermediate B. Y. P. U. also
showed a decided increase in attend
ance.
The pastor and the officers of the
.church sincerely hope that this is in
dicative of the spirit in which all of
the Baptist people are going to sup
port the work this year. The church
will take action on the report of the
Nominating Committee next Sunday
morning in conference. Thus, the
officers of the church and the officers
and teachers of the Sunday school
will be duly elected for the ensuing
year.
Plans are now being made to have
the 4th Sunday in this month as a
rally day in the Baptist Sunday
school. A special program will be
given and all of the officers and
teachers will be installed for the year
beginning October Ist. It is hoped
that all of the mgjnbers of the fami
lies including the babies will be pres
ent on this day. Let our families
plan to make it 100 per cent in at
tendance this Rally Day.

WHAT MY NEIGHBOR SAYS
It of Interest to Hartwell Folic*.
When one has had the misfortune
to suffer from backache, headaches,
dizziness, urinary disorders and other
kidney ills—and has found relief
from all this sickness and suffering,
that person’s advice is of untold value
to friends and neighbors. The follow
ing case is only one of many thou
sands, but it is that of a Hartwell
resident. Who could ask for a bet
ter example?
Mrs. W. C. Banister, Jackson St.,
says: “My kidneys acted irregularly
and my back was painful, especially
when I got up in the morning. I
felt tired and worn out from loss of
sleep. I wasn’t long in getting over
the trouble after I began using
Doan’s Pills.” (Statement given
April 19, 1918.)
On May 12, 1923, Mrs. Banister
said: “I use Doan’s whenever my
back hurts or when my kidneys don’t
act right and they never fail to re
lieve me.”

DOWN ON THE FARM
By W. M. BRYAN*
Now! it is time to oegin to sow
grain. I have heard many say they
wanted to make their food and feed
in the winter, many farmers will be
very scarce of feed. If you have not
done it yet sow some rye, it makes
fine grazing fop stock and chickens.
We make more than twice as many
oats sown in September and October
than sown in November and Decem
ber. The State College farm at Ath
| ens has kept a record for many
■years. October 15 sown oats will
produce from 2 to 4 times more
grain, if sown a month later, sow
your oats in the open furrow to with
stand the winter. I cultivate my
grain in the spring by running sec
tion harrow fFoni 1 to 2 times 15
days apart, it pays to do so. Sow
you a few acres wheat on your best
land, throw out a few loads home
brew fertilizers per acre, you won’t
have to buy your bread when you
raise it.
Now, as legumes, when you plow
under a .vetch crop in the spring for
corn it will increase the yield more
than twice art uiUuJi. Vetch, oats,
rye will snake a good mixture to
grow tog(*thor, plant a few acres of
this mixture, Makes an excellent
feed. Aiftf>'my Experience in grow
ing clovers, I have been growing clo
vers for many years. They build up
land and make fifie feed crops. Burr
clover and crimson clover are the
best. I planted two acres two years
ago to crimson elover. It did not
make anything. I did not quit, last
September I sowed two more acres
in crimson clover, it made good. I
made two hundred dollars’ worth and
eight two horse loads hay on these
two acres and four loads corn for
age. It would have made 75 bushels
corn with plenty rain. This was my
seed patch.
I now have enough seed to sow
fifty acres, I want to get crimson
clover on all my farm. After clo
ver grows on your land one year it
will be no more trouble to grow it.
This is my method to grow crimson
clover. I used twenty-five pounds of
seed in the chaff and I got some soil
where clover was grown. I sowed
the seed right after a rain and sowed
the soil at the same time. I sowed
in September. If you can’t get the
soil where clover is grown the state
department will sell it to you at 30
cents per acre. You can have two
more months in which to sow legume
crops. You can get your vetch,
rape, clovers from Mixon Seed Co.,
Charleston, S. C.
A word in regard to road bonds.
We would like to have $200,000.00
to be spent on roads in Hart county
if getting was all to it. Paying for
them is the all important question.
We are taxed to the limit for our
schools. It costs us 9 mills on bur
school bonds, what will it cost us on
our road bonds? I will give this out
so that we may begin to figure. It
is true we need some of the money
for helping to build these roads. But
look here, we cannot get the bonds
voted on and the selling under 3 or
4 months and by that time most all
i the folks that are leaving and that
! are going to leave will be gone.
It will be crop time then for next
year. It will then be too lath to do
the farmers much good. It will pay
us to wait until we get over the
drought and hail storms. There will
I be some plan for us out of this ex
[ treme drought besides taxing the
■ poor farmer who has bought land and
I who has not paid fop it yet only on
! terms, for many farmers in Hart
owe on their land, with this heavy
school and other high taxes, then
this big road tax the farmer will be
gone. We believe in progress but
in the meantime we don’t want to go
broke by making a show. Automo
biles are useful and not useful, and
so many of our people have used the
automobile to their ruin.
It is true the gas tax would help
and the car tag to pay the taxes,
if every owner would buy a tag,
but so many are getting a free ride,
it won’t swell the coffers very much.
I’he bond issue is up to you, study
, both ends of it.
It takes a lot of faith to be able
to lose your money without losing
your faith.—Binghamton Press.

LETTERS FROM
SUN READERS
A Tax On Luxuries
To The Sun:—
It is apparently a season of dis
cussion of taxes, of every variety and
description and as there seems to be
no requirements of a special knowl
edge of the subject, I am rising to
submit a few remarks.
We are all united in the opinion
that we are passing through one of
the most trying periods of this sec
tion's history. And have for the
past five years, or more.
It is a desperate battle for many
to feed themselves and families, to.
say naught of any unnecessary taxes.
There has always been too much
of a disposition of those in authority
to be too liberal and generous in
the disbursements of taxes. Too of
ten they increase salaries, unneces
sarily, add new positions, whose on
ly justification is thp rewarding po
litical henchmen, their kindred or
friends. '
There is to my mind too little in
terest manifested by our people in
the functioning of our state govern
ment.
I have urged with all my power a
tax bill that would tax luxuries, one
that would not hurt the rich
would be of untold aid to the poor.
I have no objection to seeing fine
automobiles and diamonds but feel
that they should help pay the taxes.
It is alright to wear fine suits but
when they go over SSO, say, let them
pay a luxury tax. Let those operat
ing cars over SI,OOO pay this tax.
Many ladies are wearing fur coats
of $2,500. Let them pay for the
privilege, as- on all unnecessaries.
Our people are being plethoried with
advice and admonitions not to talk
hard times. This is good, but it
usually comes from those who are
placidly sitting in plush chairs, smok
ing tbeir fine cigars and drawing
large salaries.
By our home folks uniting I feel'
that we will soon witness the dawn
of a brighter day. But there is a
great deal of aid that can come to
the people in the way of tax legisla
tion that has not. We may border a
little on Bolshevikism but as has been
said, aptly, it is just a poor man tell
ing the truth.
JULIAN B. McCURRY.
THE ROAD BONDS
I am not saying that I am against
bonds for improving roads. As yet
I don’t know how I shall I
make no effort for or against votes
of others.
I think when we have a project we
should consider from different phases
the advantages and disadvantages.
Every issue has at least two sides,
opposites or contrasts.
In the public discussion I have
seen advocacy of only for bonds. I
thinly there may be better reasons
for bonds than have been published.
Being only a farmer I have not inves
tigated public matters. So I review
only what has been brought to pub
lic attention.
The proposed expenditures of $15,-
000 in each of the eight militia dis
tricts is not equalized. Some dis
tricts pay more taxes than others
and in some the roads require more
work than others. I think a better
proposition would be to improve alike
all roads of equal importance and
public utility regardless of locatiorf.
As to furnishing work for farm
hands, I think I see grave disadvan
tages. Hart county is distinctly an
agricultural community. If we are
to be restored to prosperity it must
be by successful efforts of our farm
ers. If farmers are to succeed next
year and their hands must give
their undivided attention to farming.
There will be no time for road-work
ing, road-touring, saw milling, man
ufacturing—not trade, traffic nor
travel. It has been the experience
of some neighboring counties that
saw mills and other industries took
and demoralized farm labor. If our
farm labor be taken to roads, even
at slackest times, hands will acquire
habits and customs not advantageous
to farming. They ’should receive
higher wages on roads because the
owners of farms furnish homes,
barns, fuel, pastures, patches, etc.,
both while on roads and farms. Nat
urally, but not justly, the laborer
will not be content again with his
usual wages whenever, if ever, he
returns to farm.
One of our road commissioner* re
cently stated that the convicts are
being worked at a loss. If men, al
ready broken in to road work and
' trained to operate road equipment
[are working for their keep without
profit to the county, how can the
county afford to pay good wages to
green farm hands without equip
ment?
We are cited to North Carolina and
Florida as getting great gain from
expensive highways. These states
get rich returns from guests to their
resorts, whereas Hart county would
get nothing, but a little more com
fort in riding, for the greatly in
creased expenditures.
Already Hart county has the best
roads in her history. The local road
force, with its normal support, has
already improved the roads. It is
reasonable to believe that the same
force can continue greater improve
ment without tremendous expendi
tures. Why undertake to get out of
ruinous indebtedness by piling up
still greater debts?
I believe that inside of 30 years
$200,000 will find a better place and
that some acquired need or knowl
edge will afford more effective ex
penditure. Spend now what means
we have now.
So, if you have
good reasons for or against bonds,
i come on with them. “Prove all
things; hold fast that which is good.”

M/SS BERT WINTER GOES
TO SCARRITT COLLEGE
Announcemtnt has been made of ;
the appointment of Miss Bert Winter
to a scholarship in Searritt Training
School at Nashville, Tenn. Miss
Winter will specialize in Rural Work
and will prepare herself for the work
she has been doing for the past sev
eral years in the Elberton District.
The Atlanta Constitution carried the
following very interesting account of
the work which Miss Winter has
done, will do, and the scholarship
she has received:
For the past ten years women of
the North Georgia Conference Meth
odist Missionary Societies have
watched with keen interest the work
of Miss Bert Winter, district secre
tary for the Elberton District. She
was so successful in forming new
organizations that one -year ago she
was appointed field secretary for the
conference, working other districts
carrying "on her own work all the |
while.
During the ten years that Miss
Winter has directed the work in the
Elberton District 45 new adult
auxiliaries have been organized and
the district budget for missions has
increased $2,500 two Bible women
and two scholarships are supported
by individual members in the dis
trict and the district as a whole
supports a Bible woman in honor of
the secretary, whom it fondly calls
“Miss Bert.” Their slogan for the
past few years has been “Specializ
ing in impossibilities through prayer,
faith and works.”
Rural work, being a subject that
is not thoroughly understood and
one that has not been given the
study that it should have, was one
of the subjects considered at length
on the program of the recent regional
conference on missions held at Lake
Junaluska. Miss Winter was one of
the principal speakers, having been
invited to tell her own experience in
organizing rural work to this large
group of trained mission workers, i
It was after this speech that she was
offered the scholarship.
Miss Winter will continue her work
as secretary until September 1 and
her successor will be appointed by the
executive committee, which meets in
