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.

[ 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.” , o—• ’ “The business man dictates at his office, but home is another place,” says old Joseph Jones.

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. —o S- OLD JOE JONES SAYS— “Many a mart- relies too much upon his *• I wishbone and not . f enough upon his back- t p bone.” '-'O Yes, Joe, Ye*. o There Are Lots of Names. “Papa, what do you call a man who runs an auto?” “It depends on how near he comes to hitting me.” o Willie: “Mother, may I talk like a salesman?” Willie’s Mother: “Why, yes, dear, if you want to.” “Then, damn it, shove the butter over here!"—The Plugger. o Safety In Names.

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. - ■ d 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.

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. o John Thomas Scopes, the biology instructor who brought the Tennes- I see anti-evolution law to the front, was born in Salem. Illinois, in 1901. Curiously enough, in 1860, William ! , Jennings Bryan, of the opposing side, 1 was born in the same town. 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. o —. 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. ■ o Our guess is that Spanish cooper ation in Morocco will consist largely of saying: “Atta boy.”—Baltimore Evening Sun. i CLOSING OUT; SALE ■ ( : Beginning Saturday Sept. 19th | : and Running to Oct. 17th : ■ ■ ' Cost Cuts No Figure In This Sale J : OUR LOSS WILL BE YOUR GAIN I B 70 pairs Men’s Work Shoes, sold for $2.50 to $6.00, to go ■ ■ in this sale at a give-away price of ... $1.50 to $4.00 B * Also 75 pairs of Dress Shoes, sold from $4.00 to $7.00, to g ’ go in this sale at - $2.00 to $4.00 B g 25 pairs Ladies’ Work Shoes, sold from $2.00 to $6.00, to B a go in this sale at k SI.OO to $2.50 * * 40 pairs Boys’ Work Shoes, sold from $2.50 to $4.00, to R “ go in this sale at SI.OO to $2.00 * g 60 pairs of Boys’ and Girls’ School Shoes, sold from $2.50 g S to $6.00, to go in this sale at sl.OO to $2.50 ■ ■ 65 pairs Children’s Shoes, 2 1-2 to 8, sold from $1.35 to a * $2.50, to go in this sale at SI.OO to $1.50 B 100 pairs Ladies’ and Men’s Slippers that sold from $2.50 B g to $6.00, to go in this sale at $1.25 to $2.50 ( » 500 yards Dress Goods, Work Shirts, Overalls and Coats, g a Men’s and Boys’ Pants and Caps to go in this sale. a 0 Also Ladies and Children's Wool and Cotton Knit Caps. ■ ■ REMEMBER, THIS SALE BEGINS SATURDAY, SEP- ■ * TEMBER 19, AND WILL RUN UNTIL OCTOBER 17 ■ ■ g ■ No money refunded.
