JIBLE THOUGHT 1—
For This Week i
it* memorised, will prove a t
■ heritage in after year*.
Let this mind be in you, which was
also in Christ Jesus. Let nothing be
done through strife or vainglory; but
in lowliness of mind let each esteem
other better than themselves.—Phil
ippians 2:5, 3.
o
What does it profit a man to have
his mind crammed full of good ideas
and to lack the will power to put
them to tfork?
o
There arc too many waiting for
someone else to "bring home the ba
con,” instead of going out and doing
a little hog-killing on their own hook.
o
Florida Is Helping The South.
Morgan county people and Geor
gia generally are juustly proud of
Florida and her great ongoing pro
gram. Florida is a fine asset to
Georgia. Madisonian.
o
Safety Last.
Here lies the body of William Jay;
he died maintaining his right-of-way.
He was right, dead right, as he sped
along; but he’s just as dead as if he’d
been wrong.—Exchange.

' And now old Rush Burton, of La
vonia, has been converted- and joins
the ranks of the Buttermilk Drinkers’
Association of Georgia. Glad to
see you, Rush; we always knew you
had the right kind of stuff in you.
o
Yea! Yea!
When a man gets so stingy that he
will not spend the cost of a postage
stamp to know what his friends and
neighbors are doing in the town and
county in which he lived, through the
columns of his home paper, the bark
on a tree has nothing on him for

The Flapper.
Will somebody define a “flapper?”

A coat of paint and a dashing air,
A grin and a smirk and a bunch of

Here's What Rush Burton Thinks
About Our Grand and Glorious
Old Buttermilk.
Have you h;ui your vitamins to
day? Two good glasses of cool but
termilk will build up the fighting
qualities of your blood. Take two
more glasses of buttermilk tomorrow.
And so on ad finitum.—Lavonia ■
Times.
If you succeed in life, you must do
it in spite of the efforts of others
to pull you down. There is nothing
in the idea that people are willing to
help those who help themselves. Peo
ple are willing to help a man who
can’t help himself, but as soon as a
man is able to help himself, and does
it, they join in making his life as
uncomfortable as possible.—E. W.
Howe.
Synthetic Buttermilk? No!!!
An expert declares that Henry
Ford’s suggestion that a scientific
cow be invented which would give
synthetic milk will never be realized.
We wouldn’t give a whortleberry for
synthetic milk. Give us the good old
fashioned, beautiful buttermilk from
•our old friend, the four-legged, two
horned gentle cow with a loving calf,
or give us death and the milky way.

WILL IT PAY? READ THIS!
[ Hartwell and Hart county are in
terested in paved streets and graded
roads just at this tirge, and if we,
as a town and county, ever expecPto
; see our property values increase as
t they should we must have these im
i provements. Editor Jim Holloman,
, i of The Atlanta Constitution, in speak
• ing of paved roads and streets says,
after a visit to Franklin, N. C., which
is up beyond Clayton, Ga., a few
• miles:
“Look at Franklin five years ago
and today! There’s the lesson. Low
values have increased nearly a thou
sand per cent. Do permanently
paved, unbroken, through-state and
interstate highways pay? They are
the greatest and surest and most pro
fitable investments the people of any
community can make.”

“Why so much crime?” asks the

Stopped At Last.
The Germans have put an import
duty of SSOO on a Ford car, which
probably discovers at last a place
where one can not go.—St. Louis
Post-Dispatch.
o
The Time* Change.
The kind of mother who used to
say her 12-year-old daughter was
six, so she could travel on half fare,
now says she’s 16, so she can drive
the car.—Columbus (Ohio) State
Journal.
o
Been Dry Before.
This is not the only dry year Geor
gia has experienced. In 1843 a big
crop of turnips was raised in the
bed of the- Savannah river at Augus
ta. It now looks as if the same thing
can be done this year.—Sandersville
Progress.
o
A Friend In Need.
An old darky was asked which he
thought more important, the sun or
the moon. “The moon,” he replied.
“The sun shines in the daytime when
it’s light anyway, but the moon shines
at night when it’s dark and you need
light to find the chickens.”
o ■
Come On, Hart County.
The Sun wants to see good roads
in Hart county. Whether the people
of the county vote for them or not,
Hartwell is going ahead with her
street paving and sewerage exten
tion. Wouldn't* it be fine if both the
town and county could make these
improvements along about the same
time?
o
Hartwell Citizen* Should Be Only
Ones To Oppote County Bond*.
It seems to us that the only objec
tion to the county road bonds would
come from Hartwell and the Town
District where a larger portion of the
taxes would be paid to take care of
the $200,000 issue. But so far we
have heard of only some four or five
citizens of the city who are against
the move; the main objectors live in
the county. Why can’t we get to
gether and let Hart county have good
roads while Hartwell goes ahead with
her street paving and sewerage ex
tensions?
o , .
The cotton crop will all be out in
another ten days to two weeks. That
will be around October Ist. If some
one can tell us w’hat the people are
going to do to earn a living until
i next spring in Hart county we won’t
i say another word about bonds for
roads. It’s not what we want to
do, but it has reached the point
where we must consider a few things
that must be done. The city of
Hartwell is going to do some paving
and sewer extension work. Hart
county should do her part and vote
the road bonds and give employment
to those who want to work. There
are a few people in Hartwell and
Hart county who don’t want to work,
and wouldn’t if they were starving.
Let’s give the honest, God-fearing
people something to do thisxfall and
winter.

BUILDING ROADS
(Anderson Daily Independent.)
In Hart county, Georgia, farmers
will find employment during the win
ter on a two hundred thousand road
building project. This will come as
a relief in a short crop emergency
and will tide over many people until
the 1926 crops.
If Anderson county ever intends
• building more roads (and we need
| them) this fall w-ould be the time
to start. It would furnish something
for our farmers to do for a livelihood
for themselves and their tenants dur
ing the dull winter months.

CONGRESSMAN C. H. BRAND
(Athens Banner-Herald.)
I Headed by Congressman Brand,
a committee of leading citizens is now
in Washington for the purpose of
conferring with the federal authori
. ties with the hope of securing co
, operation for the Stat a Highway De-
I partment in extending aid to the
i farmers through a system of road
work in which both men and stock
may be employed.
If the committee and the State
Highway Department are succesful
in their efforts to secure the consent
’ of the federal authorities to co-oper
ate in the movement it will mean
much to the people in thijj, section of
the state.
Congressman Brand has taken a
live interest in the project just as he
has in all the bettorment
of this section and district since he
became congressman. Never has
there arisen an occasion where his
services and influence could be used
that he has nqt responded readily
and nobly to the call and used his
time, energies and money to usccess
fully accomplish results desired by
the people.
Judge Brand’s long and efficient
service in congress stands him well
in hand to secure much aid for the
people of the district. He is one of
the leaders of the democratic side of
the house and enjoys not only the
esteem and confidence of his dem
ocratic colleagues, but he is respect
ed and admired for his ability and
aggressiveness by the republican
members as well.
The people of this district and sec
tion are indeed fortunate in having
in congress a representative so cap
able and loyal to their every interest.

Kiwanis Club Has Many
Interesting Visitors
Last Friday’s session of the Ki
wanis Club was an inspirational one,
a number of enthusiastic and inter
esting talks being made.
There were many visitors, among
them Capt. W. Yancey Carter, of
Tampa, Fla., who is always a wel
come visitor to this city and county;
Mr. Fred Allman, of Atlanta, son of
Kiwanian J. I. Allman; Rev. Gene
Barton, of Emory University; Mr.
Hugh Skelton, of Mercer University
and "Macon; Mr. John Walker Hern
don, son of Kiwanian Clayton M.
Herndon, and his friend, Mr. Osie
Bie, of Tampa, Fla.; the new County
Agent. Mr. C. A. Bryant; Mr. Clar
ence G. Campbell, manager of the
Hart Motor Co., who succeeds Ki
wanian R. E. Cox.
A resolution was introduced by Ki
wanian J. B. McCurry thanking Sen
ator Foster of Madison for his splen
did work recently in the Legislature
in fostering the district road bill,
which lost by a small margin. A
copy of the resolutions was mailed to
Mr. Foster.
Mr. Cottrell Present.
Among the principal speakers was
. Mr. H. M. Cottrell, who has been
employed by the Georgia Bankers’
Association to visit the drought
stricken counties, giving them his
years of advice on how to get through
another year. He has followed in
the wake of disaster so long that he
knows mtk'h of how “it can be done.”
and after his splendid talk last Fri
day every Kiwanian went away feel
ing better over conditions here.
He later addressed the people of
Hartwell and the county at the Court
House.

HART COUNTY TO VOTE ROAD
; . « BONDS
(Royston Record.)
An election has been called for
October 14th in Hart county for the
purpose of voting on $200,000.00
bonds for building roads and thus
offering work to farmers and their
teams during the monthj they are
not working on the farm. The coun
ty commissioners are to be con
gratulated for taking this step as it
wil enable Hart county to construct
good roads throughout the county
and at the same time give employ
ment to many citizens and teams,
thus assuring them of making some
thing to help them over the depres
sion.
o
DESERVED TO WIN
(From Madisonian.)
Editor Madisonian, Madison, Ga.
Dear Sir:—The writer is the repre
sentative in the legislature from
Glynn county. I live on the proposed
Coastal Plains Highway, a measure
which I actively supported, but I
want to say that the Highway District
bill which Hon. Albert Foster intro
duced in the senate and for which he
staged the most spectacular fight of
this legislative session, is by far the
best zoning measure I have ever seen.
It is fair and progressive and its de
tails were well worked out. It safe
guarded the interests of any county
which did not desire to enter the
zone, and under the provisions of the
bill, I believe a hard surface road
could be built and paid for out of the
proportionate part of the gasoline
and oil taxes and motor vehicle fees
which the several counties now re
ceive.
Senator Foster pressing his bill
under a big handicap, deserved a bet
ter reward. The bill having been de
feated on its original passage, Sena
tor Foster moved for its reconsider
ation, which prevailed by a narrow
margin. He then induced the Rules
committee to put it back on yester
day’s calendar, which was his last
chance in order for it to be read
three times in the house in the event
of its passage in the senate. By a
vote of 8 to 6, the Rules committee
put it back ors the calendar, and gave
it the right-of-way immediately af
ter the noon recess. In concluding
the argument for the pJtssage of the
bill, it is conceded on all sides, that
Senator Foster made an eloquent
and convincing appeal. Senators Bell,
Luttrell and Pruett, in explaining
their votes on the roll call, said they
could not resist such an appeal for
the right of local self government.
The two former voted against the
j bill on its original passage. Twenty
eight senators voted for the bill and
sixteen against it. It being a constitu
tional amendment, it xfas lost, failing
td receive the necessary two-thir<fs
vote as required by law. I wanted to
see Senator Foster’s game fight
crowned with success. He deserved to
win and no one regrets his failure
more than I.
Yours very truly,
B. F. MANN,
Representative from Glynn County,
of Representatives, Atlanta,
Ga., August 20, 1925.

Cottrell Brought A
Message of Cheer
A large crowd heard Mr. H. M.
Cottrell at the court house last Fri
day afternoon, the speaker being in
troduced by Mr. Martin M. Norman,
of Nuberg, who presided over the
meeting.
Mr. Cottrell, a man of many years’
experience in sections of the coun
try visited by floods, drought and
hail, gave some worthy suggestions
for Hart county people who face a
complete loss of all feed crops and a
heavy shortage in their cotton. He
recited the experience of some 16
Mississippi counties that lost abso
lutely every boll of cotton in 1917
and how they “came back” with fly
ing colors.
“Hart county hasn’t lost all; you
have $750,000 worth of cotton and
this will help keep things going for
another year. You would be better
off if you hadn’t produced a boll of
cotton than we were in 1920 after
we sold our crop,” said Mr. Cot
trell.
Credit For Honest Man.
“The man who does his best and
comes clean with those he owes is
going to get credit in 1926, and you
needn't worry about that,” said Mr.
Cottrell, whose expenses are being
paid by the bankers of Georgia to
go into the drought-stricken counties
and try to cheer up the people.
Cotton For Feed.
As an emergency feed Mr. Cottrell
urgeji the farmers to cut their cot
ton stalks, which, according to the
Mississippi experiment station, are
high in feed value for stock.
In addition, he urged getting rid
of stalks by plowing them up as
soon as possible, as they would use
up the fertilizer stored in the ground
when it began to rain.
Grain and Turnips.
He urged the planting of small
grain, and said to seed turnip
patches, as soon as a season came,
for the hogs and other stock.
Try To Be Cheerful.
Mr. Cottrell urged the people to
be as cheerful as possible and quit
sending out reports that this section
was down and out. “This is not the
case; you have much to be thankful
for,” lie said. ;
Conditions in south Georgia in
1923 were much worse than they are
here now, he stated.
He finally urged the farmers to
fall upon some system of diversifi
cation of crops and to quit depend
ing on a one-crop system.
This has brought south Georgia
back, and now they are blessed with
plenty of money and all kinds of
crops.
Farmers representing every sec
tion of Hart county were present to
hear Mr. Cottrell’s speech.
