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. r 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. WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN TO SPEAK IN ATLANTA, Atlanta, Dec. 17. —William J. Bryan, three-times candidate for president, world-famous orator, and erstwhile leader of the Dem ocratic party, will deliver a lec ! ture in the auditorium about the middle of February under the auspices of the Atlanta Baraca J union, which is composed of all | the Baraca Bible classes in the I city and has a membership of about 1,200. j The invitation was sent to the \ great commoner some weeks ago, | but he did not get it until this | week, being absent from home on a recuperating trip. His sub ject will be “The Price of a Soul.” While in Atlanta Mr. Bryan | 'will be entertained with due ceremonies. The Young Men’s Democratic league will give him a baftquet and the Baracas will - likewise show him distinguished attentions. 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. — Laurens County Herald. 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. Seed Wheat, I have for sale a few bushels of purple straw Georgia Seed Wheat of my raising, $2. |>er bushel. F. D.

If. —The ; {scientific farming of Mr. Thomas G. Scott, one of the largest and ; most brosperous farmers of mid- j; die Georgia, is attracting state ! wide attention. His farm is lo cated about six miles west of Forsyth, and was transformed from rolling and hilly land into one of the most, fertile plantations j | in the entire state. Mr. Scott is a college graduate, ; | having graduated with distinction j from the Euiversity of Georgia, J and although a very highly edu- j eat.ed man lie is demonstrating I that as much money cun lie made ] j from farming if education and : ! science are applied to agriculture, • j as can he made out of almost any J profession where education and I 1 science are required to achieve | j the greatest measure of success j j and prosperity. j" ; White Hickory Wagons.
