Annual Statement of
’ County Treasurer.
To the County Commissioners
‘ of Wilkinson county:
* As required by law, I beg leave
to submit my annual statement
■ as Treasurer of Wilkinson county
; up to January 1, 1914.
i I was qualified as Treasurer of
said county on the 22 day of Ap
ril 1913, and since that date, I
j have received iron till sources as
. 1 such County Treasurer $28,840. “2
11 have paid out 23,925. ’>9
11 have on hand 4.914.93
| I have on hand all vouchers
1 showing the disbursements of
the above amount, and receipt
• book showing the amount receiv
, ed, all of which are herewith
. submitted for exarmination. The
law requires that I make esti
, mate of the amount that it will
' probably require to meet all obli
jgations for the ensuing year.
Wilkinson county is clear of debt
and all orders are paid promptly.
There is but a small amount of
! taxes for 1913 included in the
above statement, as but small
amount has been delivered by
. the Tax Collector, most of the
I same having been paid to him
near the close of the books. I
’ believe with econo my on the part
of the Commissioj lers that the
county will be abL 3 to pay all of
its obligations du ring the year
‘. with the money o: .1 hand and to
be paid by the Ta x Collector. If
. the rate of taxati on for the pres
| ent year is to be the same as the
'' previous, year, it will be well for
! t ie Commissions rs to submit the
,' same to the appr oval of the grand
'jury in April to prevent an illegal
i levy for genera’ purposes’.
Respectfull y submitted,

H. G. Hastings Tells of EnthuztMtlc
Plans Already Under Way
in Georgia.
Atlanta, Ga. —(Special.)—Enthusias-
tic plans are already under way In
Georgia for the 1914 Corn Club eaa
tests and for another big annual shew
like the one which took place at the
state capitol in December and brought
hundreds of sturdy fanner boys to
Atlanta from all sections of the state.
H. G. Hastings, chairman of the ag
ricultural committee of the Atlanta
Chamber of Commerce and manager
of the Georgia State Corn Show, will
' have general charge of the exhibition
! again this year. It was through the
| influence of Mr. Hastings that the
I Chamber of Commerce took up the
' torn Show work, and his interest has
been a leading factor in its success.
' It is impossible to estimate the
value of the Corn Club movement to
Georgia agriculture. The production
of corn in Georgia has been increased
between $30,000,000 and 140.000.W0
during the past six years. The rauws
of the Corn Club boys, who first look
ed on the movement as a fad, have at
last come to realize its great practical
vaiue, and are now as much interested
as the boys in increasing the pro
ductiveness of their land.
The corn club movefnent has spread
all over the South, and extensive plans
for this year are being made in prac
tically all the Southern states. Mr.
.'Hastings has renewed for 1914 his of
i fer of $1,200 in corn club prizes to
be distributed among the ten princi
pal Southern corn-growing states. The
H. G. Hastings prizes, in Georgia in
clude a $250 scholarship at the State
College of Agriculture and cash prizes
of S3O and S2O.
The Hastings scholarship was won
last year by Carl Campbell of Pauld
ing bounty, who made 168 bushelk to
an acre at a profit of $147.85. The
state record was made by Edward
Wellborn of Morgan county, with W1
bushels. He chose as his prize the
Percheron mare offered by the Cen
.tral of Georgia Railway.
