A tuberculosis hospital tor the state ^
penitentiary, a division building, for
the purpose of separating the blacks
and whites at the reformatory, improv
ed | farming methods and everything
possible to raise the standard of the ^
great penal institution of the state will
be done by the prison commission when
the inspection is over. Gen. Clement
A. E\ars slated to The News last Sat
urday that these matters were under
advisement by the board and that every
effort would be put forth to consum
mate them within the next few months
Gen. Evans is a member cf the pris
on commission of Georgia and one of j
the mod active and influential men on
the board. He takes great interest in
the work and is in favor of advancing
the standard of the penitentiary and
states that everybody now recongnizie
that it pays to do things well. The fact
that the separation of the white and
black children at the reformatory is
coming sustains the contention of The
News, under its present management,
that such should be done. The establish
ment of a tuberculosis hospital at the
penitentiary; will also be a modern idea
and a thing very much needed. The
prison commission and the special com
mittee from the Senate and Legislature
will be here this week.
In keeping with work in progress a 1
along the line of the Georgia railroad
that corporation is making some need
ed improvements at the depot here. A
new Diazza is being constructed, gravel
is being put down around the building
and much dusl and dirt will be e'iminat-
ed. The course is commended by all es
pecially in view of the fact that Mil-
ledgcville is makingrapid strides in gen
eral advancement and a better looking
depot was neeJed on the Georgia road.
BALDWIN BLUES LEAVE
FOR CAMPON SATURDAY
The annual encampment of the Bald
win Blues, National Guard of Georgia,
will be held on St. Simon’s Island this
year and the aggregation of soldier
boys will leave for that place on Satur
day night, Capt. J. H. Ennis will be in
command of the company and about <1j
members of the organization will go on
the trip.
Mnny Petty Robberies
Are Menace to Town
For several months past it seems
that a'systematic series of small rob
beries have proven a menace to the
city and in several instances small
sums of money, valuables und other
property have been stolen. The latest
of these occurred lust week when a
valuable diamond ring, watch, several
pieces of gold money and other pieces
of jewelry were stolen from Mrs. An
nie Harris on South Wayne St., the
total loss aggregating over $300. An
effort is being made to detect the
guilty parties, but so far without any
success.

W. H. Hall,formerly of Milledgeville,
more recently of Dublin, had a hearing
in his bankruptcy case last Thursday in
Macon and from evidence produced he
showed that his asserts were less than
! $300 while his indebtedness was over
$4,000. Milledgeville attorneys repre
sented claims approximating almost
$2,000 and many local claims were not
filed as most of the creditors regarded
it as useless to take the step.

will handle 200,000 passengers daily at
five cents each and it practically
abolishes the ferry system. During tho

G. N. & t College is
Besieged by Applicants
Before the catalogue of the Ceorgiu
Normal & Industrial College was off
tho press the institution had received
over 703 application for admission for
the colViing term. The facilities at the
college, however, will prohibit the man
agement from admitting more than the
numV.r enrolled Last year. It is ex
pected that fully 1 ,C0I) girls wiil apply
for a place before the season closes,
and this means that over 400 will be
exclude i because tho state does not
provide room.
The fact that the college was more
thin filled before the catalogue was is
sued shows that the institution is held
in h'gh esteem over the whole state of
Georgia.

William Croley, Well Known Baldwin
County Farmer, Hold on Charge
f of Murder. Much Interest
In The Case.
A bullet, presumably intended for an
other man, almost instantly killed James
Aldtvd here Saturday night while ho
was out in front of his place of business
and half a block away from where the
trouble which resulted in his death was
in progress. Policeman Jack Roberts
was also .iliirhtly wounded and William
Croley, one of the best known farmers
of tho county, is in jail charged with
murder by tho verdict of the coroner’s
jury. According to the best informa
tion obtainable it seems the farmer had
been having some trouble early in the
ev.q; and had bee i arrested, but was
afterwards liberated. However, later
more difficulties developed and Jesso-
Roberts, vho is known here generally,
setepped up behind Croley and attempt
ed to seize him. It is stated that Croley
at tliii juncture pulled hi3 pistol and
fired over his lett shoulder presumably
at Roberts, hut tho bullet found lodging
in the body of Aldred, who was some
distance away. Another shot pene
trated tho shoulder of Policeman Jack
Roberts, wh > rushed up at this point.
Before anything elso happened Croley
was arrested and immediately placed
in jail. At the hearing before Coroner
W. S. Scott SuuJuy the' jury tendered
a verJict of murder.
The traged occurred at 10:30 o’clock
and shortly aftpr 11 o’clock Aldred was
dead, the funeral occurring Sunday af
ternoon. He leaves a wife and five child
ren and MOn lay morning confrtb'uUons
amounting to over $300 were tendered
the family. Policeman Roberts is up
and will soon be on duty again. The
affair is regarded as one of the most
deplorable that has occurred here in
several years and it is generally re-
giette.l. Tho fact that an innocent man
was tl: i vi F r of Ft bi 1’et adds to the
