Last week the Railroad Commission,
in the case of Wall and Richardson, of
this city, in the matter of the Milledge-

ardson, through their attorneys, Hines
and Vinson have filed a large damage
suit against the Georgia road which is
now pending.
The case attracted much attentir*
throughout the state and as a matter

TO BALDWIN COUNTY PEOPLE.
You aro enjoying a state of prosperity, but on the
narrow lodge of circumstance there is no safety. To the
right and to the left of you there is danger of t he most
disastrous character. A stable foundation is needed
to insure protection from a change in the current of
commercial torrents. If it veers the slightest there is
.danger of cpllapse.
This is the vital moment. A large acreage in cot
ton to the exclusion of homo supplies means want in
the end. While the advance in cotton and even tlie
present price is so entrancing as to put it yith the pic
tures, still this is sweet danger. Supposo you consider
it alongside other things.
Statistics show that mules have increased 150 per
cent, land has doubled in value, cyrn, pork, cows and
hay,all show 100 per cent increase while cotton lias
been going upward.
A bumper crop of cotton, a scant crop of corn and
hay and the South will be in a chaotic stato of helpless
ness.
What are you going to do Mr, Farmer? Mr. Busi-
ness Man, wont you advise and holp to establish a
movement for home, first of all?” It means continued
prosperity to everybody. The other way means back
to tlu. old regime.
five
Rome difficulty was -experienced in
reaching it, bnt quick work overcame
the trouble and in a few moments the
danger was over. A confiagrufcion of
serious proportions was averted by the
splendid work of the department and
this furnishes another instance of -valu
able service rendered thecity.
McMillan Will Build
The New Reformatory
The Millodgcville Brick Works, J. W.
McMillan proprietor, will build tho now
buiMtng for the stato reformatory at
a cost approximately $6,000. The
award of the contract to an Atlanta
firm proved to be a failure as the con
cern did not commence work on specifi-
efl time and the prison commission
awarded the contract to Mr. McMillan.
Work on the structure will start now
without delay and it will be erected
just in the rear of the present building.
Negroes will occupy the new building.
