THOMAS COUNTY URGES
GOVERNOR TO CONSIDER IT | LOCAL NEWS NOTES
AS LOCATION FOR STATE
PRISON FARM IF REMOVED
The following letter has been sent
to Governor Hardwick by the Cham
ber of Commerce, In regard to the
location of the state farm In this sec
tion of the state-
Thomasvllle, Ga, June If, 1922
Hon. T- W. Hardwick.
Governor, State of Georgia,
Atlanta,'Ga.
Dear Sir:
We have Just noticed In the press
of today that the committee of Inves
tigation of the State PrlBon Farm
would make a recommendation
abolish the farm at Mllledgevjlle and
recommend its establishment some
where else.
Thomasville and Thomas county
wants this farm and there are many
good reasons why this location would
ee desirable and advisable.
First: Tho sdll or Thomas county, as
Is personally known to you. Is among
the most fertile soli to be found In the
slate.
Second: Coal can be had here about
> cheap as at MHIedgevUle and In
addition wood may be had as fuel in
the event of strikes at the mines, or
when coal is exceptionally high. Then,
too, Iobs fuel will be need In this sec
tion, by far, than In the middle or
northern section of the state.
Third: Grasses may bo grown here
suitable for all th* year around graz
ing and this has been thoroughly
demonstrated. Live stock may be
raised and' maintained here more
easily than many other sections of
Georgia.
Fourth: Two crops may be grown
on the tamo land in this section of
Georgia, and vegetables flourish here
during the winter months as- well as
summer. There Is not a single month
In the year that the ground can not
be made to produce something edible.
Fifth: We have good transport*
tion (acllttles here and railroad llnea
coming In from every section of Geor
gia.
We trust that you kebp Thomas
county in mind and give it careful
conalderatlon and your recommenda
tions to the Legislature, In the'event
that you recommend any change-in
the location of the prison farm. We
will gladly furnish you any additional
data regarding Thomas county’s re
sources that you may desire.
Youri truly,
(Signed) W. M. PARKER,
Secretary.

Small Fire this Morning—
A small fire occured this morning
at the home ofHenry Whlddon, on the
porner of Clay and Pine streets. Only
a small amount of damage was done,
due to tbe quick and efficient work
of Chief Porter and his boys. A
serious accident on tbe way to tbe
fire, however, was only prevented by
the good driving or the man at the
wheel of the truck. A negro, who
drives for James Orlbben, was coming
down Broad street and failed to stop
for the truck. A wreck was only
avoldwl because of the good brakes
id Tev-1 head of the driver.
Every one should remember that
tbe fire trucks always have the right
of way.

DEFINITION OF OUIJA BOARD
BAFFLES SUPREME COURT
Washington, D. C The supreme
court yesterday announced it would
not determine what is a ouija board.
The question was presented in a
case brought by the Baltimore Talk
ing Board Company, which protested
against taxation of such boards as
sporting goods, - and insisted that
should the court refuse to hold that
the board “is a grade of motor
automatism, JinpoJving considerable
subconscious action of intelligence,”
that it would at least classify the
smaller boards as “children’s toys."
The lower -federal courts sustained
the government’s contention that the
boards should be classed as sporting
goods.

Weather Somewhat
Cooler—
The wind switched away from the
northwest last night and went around
to the eaBt and brought a cool breeze
which has helped things wonderfully.
Tbe hot spell semes to be broken and
It Is hoped there win not no another
very soon. Savannah, Charleston, and
several othor places were even hotter
Jhan Thomasville, which may be some
comfort. Today is the kind of summer
weather that anybody can put up with
and as long as there is a good breeze
to keep the sights cool the hot weath
er is not so hard to stand-
Quitman to Have
Curb Market—
Quitman Is to have a curb market
to be opened next Tuesday. The
truckerB and produce growers ot the
county are all asked to bring their
vegetables and everything they hav
eatable to sell to a certain street of
the city and park their trucks, wagons
or buggies where the buyers can
lect from them.
The women of the city are urged to
patronise the curb market, which will
be held twice a week. Waycross and
other towns are trying this experiment
and seem to find It successful.
Baseball Game This
Afternoon—
The baseball game between the
Junior “Y” and the Reds, which will
be played at 6 p. m-, will be full of
pep. This will he the last game of
the first half for the Reds. They have
Won three and lost two and are after
