SMOKE HOUSES ARE
FULL IN BULLOCH CO.
Statesboro, Ga., Dec. 15.—For
the last week fresh pork in
Statesboro has been steadily drop
ping in price. While this is good
news to the people of the town
it is going very much “against
the grain’’ of the country people
who bring it in to market. They
toring it here expecting the same
high price and are disappointed
when told that the market is
down to 8 and 9 cents a pound.
Some of them declare they will
not take this for it; that they
had rather make bacon out of it,
and they will bring no more to
town.
Pork in Bulloch county this
year is said to be plentiful. There
has been no disease among the
hogs, plenty of feed was saved
for them and the cold weather
set in so early it did not require
as much feed as was saved for
the hogs. There has been a
steady cold now for ten days and
t thousands of pounds of valuable
pork have been put away. It
is said that there is enough pork
in this county to keep the mer
chants from buying a single
r pound of meat from outside. It
sis generally believed that there
|is now more meat sold in Bul
loch county than there is bought.
It is no uncommon sight to see a
farmer come to town with a
double team heaped up with
meat, shoulders, sides and hams,
Some of them refuse to sell the
hams at any price. They want
them for their own use.
A plenty of everything else has
. been put in the cribs and smoke
houses, corn and peas, syrup and
and other feed to run
them until harvest time comes
again. The farmers of this
county are considered to be in
better shape than they have ever
been before.

GREENE AND GAYNOR
MAY BE PAROLED.
Washington, D. C., Dec. 17.
Attorney General Wickersham
has not passed upon the recom
mendations of the federal parole
board in the cases of Green and
Gaynor, who are in the big pri
son at Atlanta. Robert V. Lad
ow, superintendent of prisons and
chairman of the board, expects
to confer with the attorney gen
eral within a few days concern
| ing the recommendations in
1 these cases.
“The attorney general has
rendered no decision in the cases
of Green and Gaynor,” said Mr.
; Ladow this morning. “I hope to
? see him in a few days and sub-
the papers, but under the
rules adopted no public announce
: ment will be made of the board’s
recommendations nor the at
torney general’s action.”
t It is believed here that the
board will certainly recommend
the parole of both Greene and
Gaynor, but when they walk out
of the prison, if they are paroled,
the public will not be informed.

ATLANTA MADE BID
FOR CORN EXPOSITION,
Columbia, S. C., Dec. 9. — Other
cities than Columbia appreciate
the potentialities of the South
Atlantic States Corn exposition,
for on Thursday when the execu
tive committee of the Columbia
Chamber of Commerce presented
to the state commission in charge
of the exposition an invitation to
make the affair a Columbia fix
ture, a representative of the
Chamber of Commerce of Atlan
ta asked that the next show be
held in Atlanta and offered 11,-
000 toward the expense fund as
an evidence of what might be ex
pected in the way of support
from tiie Gate City of the South.
It was pointed out by Commis
slbner E. J. Watson that the ex
position, being held under au
thority of a commission created
by the general assembly of South
Carolina, could not under these
auspices be removed beyond the
state. He announced that the
exposition would be held in De
cember, 1011.
MRS MATTIE FLANDERS
IS GRANTED BOND.
Swainsboro, Ga., Dec. 15.
When the docket of superior
court was sounded today the case
of the state against Mrs. Mattie
Flanders was called. The defense
immediately announced ready, as
they have been waiting patiently
for a trial for several months.
The state announced not ready
and made showing of absent
witnesses.
When the defendant found that
she could not receive a trial,
she asked that bail be granted
her, which was done in the sum
of $2,000. This was not resisted
by the state. Without difficulty
on the part of Mrs. Flanders a
satisfactory bond was given and
the defendant, accompanied by
her father, left immediately for
his home in Bartow.
Mrs. Flanders has been kept in
the custody of the sheriff since a
few days after her husband’s
death, June 4, being jointly in
dicted with Dr. W. J. McNaugh
ton for the murder of her hus
band.
FOUR INDICTED IN
ONE MURDER CASE.
Albany, Ga., Dec. 15. — After
having delved into the Barksdale
murder case for three days, dur
whieh time a large number of
witnesses were examined, the
Baker county grand jury at New-1
ton has retnrned a batch of in- j
dictments, of which the follow- j
ing are four: Jesse F. Hudgins, i
charged with murder; Lloyd,
Lewis, a negro, charged with
murder; Joseph Leary, stepfath- i
er of Hudgins, charged with be
ing an accessory before the fact; :
Mrs. Joseph Leary, mother of
Hudgins, charged with being an
accessory after the fact.
Hudgins has been in jail at New
ton for several weeks. The neg
ro, who was released after a com
mitment hearing, has been re
arrested.
Joseph Leary and Mrs. Leary
were arrested in Albany this
morning by Sheriff H. H. Rad
ford of Baker county, who came
in an automobile and carried
who came in an automobile and
carried them back. Hudgins,
Leary and the negro will not be
allowed to make bail. Mrs.
Leary’s bail has been fixed at
SI,OOO.
These are the latest develop
ments in the case which has
grown out the finding of the
body of Ernest E. Barksdale, a
well-known Tampa commission
merchant, in an abandoned well
on a Baker, county farm on Oct.
15. It is believed that other in
dictments have been returned by
the grand jury, though it is im
possible to obtain information on
this point. This promises to be
the most sensational murder
trial in the history of Baker coun
ty when it comes up early in the
i new year.
THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR— THCRSDaY, DECEMBER, t>2, 1010*
DUBLIN MAY HAVE
GREAT WHITE WAY.
Is Dublin to have a great “white
way” in the near future? That’s
rhe way it looks at present. It
ootries from reliable source that
the city council will gladly fur
nish the lights if the merchant
and property owners will install
i the fixtures.
Mr. A P. Hilton, clerk of the
jetty council, is bringing the mut
ter to the attention of the proper
ty owners of the city and is meet
ing considerable encouragement.
It is proposed to have a row of
brilliant lights on both sides of
the street from Robinson Hard
ware Co., on Jackson street, to the
court house, and thence to the
railroads. This would cover tin*
'city’s two most important busi
ness streets, where practically all
of the night trading is done.
Only three cities in Georgia now
have a “white way.” These are
Atlanta, Savannah and Macon. —

MOONSHINERS SENT HOME
AS CHRISTMAS PRESENTS,
Valdosta, Ga-, Dec. 15. —John
Weutheringtou, a young man,
and David Sutton, aged 78, a con
federate, who has a 7-year-old
son, were before Judge Emory
Speer in the federal court here
Wednesday for sentence on the
charge of moonshining. To the
younger man the court said after
giving him two months in jail,
and ordering him released Christ
mas eve:
“I want you to go home Christ
inas eve and get in your wife’s
stocking and tell her I sent you as
a Christmas present to her,”
To the old man he said :
“You go home as quick as you
can,” stating that the old man
was too valuable a man to his
country to be in jail ”
NOT QUITE READY
FOR PENNY POSTAGE.
Washington, Dec. J 9.—Repre
sentative .John W. Weeks, chair
man of the house committee on
postoffices and postroads, sees no
immediate prospect of penny post
age nor of a revision of the second
class mail matter rates. The
shortness of the present session,
believes Mr. Weeks, will prevent
these matters from being definite
ly settled.
“I do not think the post office
department is quite ready for
penny postage,” said Mr Weeks
in discussing the postmaster g«n
eral’s ultimate plan. “It is grat
ifying to note that the deficit is
bewig decreased, and I am glad to
say that this committee deserves
some of tlie credit, since it, has co
operated with the department in
bringing it about, and economy
in appropriations has been a thing
much considered in the commit
tee.
“No, Id > not see how we will
get to a revision of secon 1-class
mail rates this session. You know
we went pretty thoroughly into
j this matter of rates on magazines
last session, when we had- much
more time, and it is a complicated
subject. About the only chanc'*
to get a bill of this character
through in the limited time will
be to treat it as we did the postal
saving bank bill. Have a caucus
and pass the measure under a
special rule, and no doubt that we
will have time even forthat,. We
were weeks, you know, preparing
a postal saving banks bill, and
then we were in cuucas more
than fifteen hours.”
Whether leg s’ation is frame I
or not, it is expected that the
house postoffice committee will
take up the subject of the parcels
post means a greatly augmented
trade for the big mail order hous
es. The President lias recom
mended the establishment of a
limited parcels post.

{scientific farming of Mr. Thomas
