GEORGIA ’ - —— ■ .... _ , .... 8 PAGES IN THIS ISSUE VOL 50 Presbyterians Will Begin Revival r Sunday A special invitation is extended to all the people of Hartwell and vicin ity to attend the services beginning next Sunday at the Presbyterian church. Dr. Eugene L. Hill, pastor of the First Presbyterian church in Athens, will preach during the revival. He is one of the leading ministers in the denomination and will no doubt bring messages that will inspire his hearers. --A Services will be held both morn ing and evening, the hours to be an nounced Sunday. Pastor James Bradley and the con gregation urge all to attend and in vite the choir members from other churches to assist in the singing dur ing the meeting. o McMullan Is Named 4 Hart Crop Observer Appointment of Hon. W. B. Mc- Mullan, of Hartwell, Ga., as crop ob server in Hart county for the Sears- Roebuck Agricultural Foundation In dex, is announced from Chicago by P. V. Ewing, director of research for the Foundation and editor of The In dex. He will form a link in the na tion-wide chain of county agricul r tural observers elected because of ' his first-hand knowledge of farming conditions and his ability to' observe these and intelligently interpret them. The Index, to which the observer from this county will contribute, is a compilation of the monthly reports of 3,650 observers in every section of the country, and this number is being added to steadily. All the observers are practical, thinking, farm-minded men, each chosen be * cause of the opportunities he has to observe the needs of agriculture in his own locality and for his ability to apply economic principles to current farm problems. As a group, they represent a cross-section of the thoughts that hte man in the, furrow is thinking, and their joint analysis of existing agricultural conditions, as expressed in The Index, is con sidered a forward step in helping ag riculture help itself. > o Raising Poultry For Money In Hart Co. That there is money in raising poultry was clearly shown at the ' meeting of the Kiwanis club last Fri day, when County Agent C. A. Bry ant, Prof. W. W. Thomas, of the Mt. Olivet school, and Hon. W. B. r McMullan had figures setting forth this fact. Mr. Bryant told of the record Hart county is making in the poultry in dustry, and urged the raising of • poultry as not merely a side issue in Hart county but that we should place it where it deserved to be, — a real money “crop” the year ’round and one that would bring hundreds of thousands of dollars annually in the county. He stressed the impor * tance of diversification. Mr. Thomas quoted some first-hand figures that illustrated his remarks most forcibly. He said that poultry raising was of sufficient importance to demand the attention of every farm home in Hart county, stating that we could, with the co-operation of all, make this one project bring into the county annually over sl,- 000,000 through the. sale of eggs and I poultry. Proper feeding and care ' was stressed. He told of a neighbor who had 15 hens and received no ; eggs while he had 15 hens and re ceived daily now 12 eggs. Chairman of the Program Commit tee W. S. Long then introduced Miss Annie McLanahan, Hart county’s ef ficient and most popular Home De monstration Agent, who was accom panied by Miss Epsie Campbell, of the home vocational work, State Col -4 lege of Agriculture. Both made short ~ though very interesting talks to the club. Mr. McMuullan told of a proposed poultry exposition for the counties of this section of Georgia to be held in Hartwell sotpe time this fall, de tails of which are being worked out. It is fitting that such an exposition be held here since Hart county is now producing and selling more poul try and eggs than any other north east Georgia county. Kiwanians R. E. Matheson, W. I. ” Hailey and J. H. Skelton spoke in. be half of the Hartwell band urging the members to help finance the organi zation. _o It doesn’t need a large compliment to swell a small head.—Altoona Mir ror. --THE HARTWELL SUN- Is Boosting For a Bigger and Better Hartwell and Hart County WE SOLICIT YOUR ADVERTISING ANdToB PRINTING TO HELP US DO THIS WORK THE HARTWELL SUN CATASTROPHE HANGING OVER THE WORLD SAYS SPIRITUALIST DOYLE London, Sept. 18.—Everyone is warned by the spirit world through medium of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle that a great catastrophe hangs over the world. Sir Arthur says he has ■ been receiving messages from the spirit world for the last three years to this effect and that lately they have become so pressing he feels it necessary to make them public. He asserts that the suffering and de struction which will result are to be taken as a chastenting for the evils of today. Only through this man ner can the world be saved. Too Material. The nature of the impending cat astrophe that Sir Arthur is unable to specify but he says that the chas tening will last three years. “The world has grown far too ma terial. We must be taught that life has a spiritual and not a material purpose,” he said. Sir Arthur de clares that England will escape from the catastrophe more lightly than almost any other nation. Why, he does not say. TAXBOOKSARE OPEN NOW The tax books for Hart county are open at the Court House and those who wish to pay their 1925 State and County taxes may do so. The levy for the year is appearing in The Sun at this time, as fixed by the Board of Commissioners. The rate is slightly lower than for 1924. Tax Collector Joe Whitworth states that he has the receipts filled out for every taxpayer in the county and will be glad to turn them over to said taxpayers upon payment in full. The county officials will appreciate the prompt payment of taxes this year by all who can possibly do so. The books close December 20th, after which time interests and costs are added. If you have the funds see Mr. Whitworth and settle. o Progressive Air Line Consoli dated To Vote More Bonds Notice of School Bond Election. State of Georgia—-Hart County.

Morris announces that all the schools in Hart county will open on Monday, October sth. The date was definitely announced after it was seen that crop condi tions were so far ahead of previous years from a standpoint of gather ing, the county schools usually open ing two or three weeks later. Supt. Morris urges every pupil to enter the first day if possible in order that the work might be carried on with the best possible results. He also asks that all parents and friends attend the various opening exercises cn Monday morning, Oct ober sth« Trustees and others interested in their community schools are urged to get the buildings in readiness and that teachers be notified of the open ing date. Indications point to to a most suc cessful scholastic year in the county during 1925-26. o - LETTERS FROM SUN READERS L. S. BROWN WANTS TO BEGIN WORK ON ROADS WITH AS MUCH SPEED AS IS PRACTICAL Hartwell, Ga., Sept. 22, 1925 Editors of The Sun:—There is a great deal being said now about Bonds to work the roads of the county; some say they don’t know whether they will vote for or against. NOW, I AM FOR BONDS, and I suggest that the Board of Finance i plan to begin work on the roads not i later than the 20th of October, if the bonds carry; if they don’t carry i the plans can be called off. Appoint I three men in each Militia District, of j which we have eight. We have four members on the Board besides the chairman; let each of the four have two districts under his supervision and to visit the roads each week until the work is completed, and not allow this work to go on after March Ist, unless upon consent of the three men in each Militia District and of the Commissioner to whom they report. I want bonds and want good roads, and want work to begin as soon as it possibly can. If we wait until we vote on bonds and sell them it will be 1926 and we all know it is hard to work roads in the winter. I think if you will follow this plan and let the people know how the program is to be carried out our splendid Hart county people will vote for bonds. If we don’t give the farmers work to do they will go somewhere else to work and you can’t blame them. They are leaving now and if they all leave who will work our farms? Let’s vote for bonds and BEGIN THE WORK AT ONCE. Respectfully, L. S. BROWN. BONDS FOR ROADS The amount of funds available for road improvement in Hart county does not justify a very extensive pro gram of expensive roads. We cannot build a good road in any community without taking funds that justly belong to some other com munity. It is necessary to either increase the amount of revenue by at least two hundred per cent, or give up the idea of building many more roads. Good roads are very desirable and are worth all they cost to any com munity. There can be nothing fair er than a system of allotting the funds to each section. A certain amount of funds allotted to each dis trict with a reserve fund for equaliz ing the distribution is very fair. Along with the equalization of the bond money we should have a guar antee of the same equalization of the county funds, gasoline tax and the convicts. There is nothing that carries a guarantee of fairness ex cept a straightforward system of al- j lotment and distribution. Should we fail to carry bonds in Hart county, we should have an allotment made 1 of the limited funds that we do have i and distribution made to each dis trict in Hart county. Nothing would inspire confidence anj’ more than a guarantee to each district in Hart county that each and all of us would get our share of funds. A certain amount of county funds and the gaso line tax should be allotted each year to paving, a certain amount to road construction and a certain amount to general maintenance of all the roads. When one section has spent all that was allotted for any given year, then be patient enough to wait. If bonds are voted without a definite under- G/NN/NGS TO SEPT.

J. Ed Conwell in the Hart county court house on last Saturday morning, the meeting being presided over by Hon. W. B. McMullan. Mr. Conwell’s speech was very forceful, interesting and instructive throughout. He reviewed the his tory of the Georgia Cotton Growers Association, of which he is president, telling of the great work already ac complished; telling of the relief given the south Georgia farmers in 1923, and of how they propose aiding the farmers of the drouth-stricken area. , He told of the mutual spirit of re ! ciprocity the organization had in- | culated between the two sections of j the State; and very forcibly made clear some misrepresentations that have been made against the Associa j tion. He told of his recent visit to Eu rope, of his visit to the various coun tries, and particularly to Denmark, where he studied co-operative mar keting. In Denmark he found con ditions far ahead of his expectations. While in Europe he conferred with the foreign spinners in an effort to establish a better relationship be tween the grower and spinner. The afternoon was devoted to an executive meeting of the group lead ers of the Association in this county, i and plans were made whereby the j members could obtain immediate re lief, through the Intermediate Credit < Bank. Mr. Conwell, a Hart county citizen, jis always given a warm welcome back to his native heath. His message Saturday was enjoyed by everyone present. , i standing as to a percentage of dis- ; tribution of all the funds, both as to bonds and county funds, a big gap will be left open for all sorts of pull ; and a continual worry for our com- i missioners. If it is wise to tie a bond issue it i is also wise to tie all the funds. We | are in favor of a reasonable amount i of paving, a reasonable amount of : construction upon all the leading roads and a guarantee of mainten ance, upon all the roads of Hart county. If our plans could be made before we start and all the funds allotted, our comnyssioners could have easy sailing in trying to carry out a defi nite plan without being handicapped with a continual political pull. We are for better roads and for 1 a better understanding. We are will- ■ ing to pay the price as the goods are worth the money. We know that the tax will be higher but a good road is worth a little more money. CITIZEN. Tampa., Fla., Sept. 13, 1925. Editors The Sun: —After a short, delightful, painful visit to dear old Hart lam at home. It was indeed a pleasure to shake hands with so many of my old friends once more. But my feelings were anything but pleasant when I found after visiting four sections of your county that conditions were even worse than I expected to find, and I say to you frankly that the situation demands immediate action on the part of the people in Hart as well as every other county in the drouth-stricken district. It is so serious that it should receive the consideration of those who have been so wonderfully blessed with good crops in south Georgia. If I I were Georgia’s governor I would at once convene the Legislature in extra session for the single purpose of au thorizing the issue of road bonds not 1 less than 50,000,000 every dollar to be expended in the drouth-stricken district. Add to this the amount due from the federal government and cal- , culate if you can, but you can’t, for no man can even estimate the benefits to be derived from the expenditure of this money among a people who , are certain to suffer if relief does not come in some way, and must come at once. If the State should issue I bonds it would demonstrate to the | world how an enlightened people can 1 meet, and change into a blessing, what now leemi to be the greatest calamity that ever happened to the ; State. Yes, I mean exactly what I say: If this awful drouth should be the cause of an issue of .fifty to one hundred million dollars bonds for the building of roads it would not only bring relief to those who other- ANOTHER CARLOT POULTRY SALE TO BE HELD IN HARTWELL OCT. i Last Conference For Hart Circuit at Liberty Hill 26th The Fourth Quarterly Conference , for the Methodist church composing i Hart Circuit, Liberty Hill, Candler’s j Chapel, Mt.

Clark, commissioner of pen sions, with headquarters in Atlan ta, has requested information from Judge J. W. Scott of the court of ordinary relative to the amounts due Confederate pensioners and their de- * pendents in Hart county for 1922,. 1923 and 1924. Trying Sell Script. It is explained in the c< mmission er’s letter that ho desires, in the j event Governor Walker succeeds in selling the script, to “get busy" with the pemvon lists immediately, it is suggested that Governor Walk er will probably call a special ses sion of the legislature unless the script can be sold to advantage.

Tell me how much will your lands be worth whi n the thousand thistle shall displace the cotton and corn? j And that is exactly what is going to happen if you allow those tenant ! farmers to move away. In order to ! emphasize this thought let me call i your attention to the fact that Can- I ada, especially the province of Que bec, is new spending millions in the effort to have those return who have migrated to the U. 8.

YANCEY CARTER. ; Prices May Be Even Better Than September Car Brought Bring Them To Hartwell Early Oct. 1 The car-lot poultry sale will be held in Hartwell Thursday, October Ist. We have just received definite i information as to the date of the sale. The sale will open at 7 o’clock, A. ! M., and close at 10 o’clock, A. M., I which will give three hours for the sale. So please have your poultry i on hand early and avoid the rush of ' the lust hour. Just at this season it is advisable i to cull the farm Hock carefully. Sell off the undesirable birds and those that do not promise to pay a profit. With the monthly co-operative sales it affords you an opportunity to dis pose of the surplus poultry at the best possible advantage. In view of the fact that Hart county is harvest ing the shortest crop in her history it should behoove every farmer to make just a little stronger effort to in crease the surplus in the poultry in dustry. It is true that the returns from it are small but they are steady and regular. You will recall that the prices re ceived for the September sale were 25c per pound for fryers, 20c per pound for hens, and 10c per pound for roosters. And as yet we have received no information as to what prices will be for the October sale but indications are that they will be higher. We hope to have prices at least one or two days in advance of the sale and will notify as many of the people of the county as possi ble by telephone and otherwise. Re member the date, Thursday, October Ist, and be on hand early. C. A. BRYANT, County Agent, Hart County.
