President Parks is
Back From Long Trip
Glorious Welcome Given Kelurned
Educator After World Journey by
Students And Citizens.
After an absence of almost four
months President M. M. Parks, of the
Georgia Normal and Industrial C >llege
returned home Monday night. During
that time he made a journey around
the world and visited many of’the most
important and interesting places on the
globe. It is doubtful, however, if
he encountered anything more pleasing
and exceptionally beautiful than the
demonstration accorded him by the
students of the college, five hundred of
whom lined up to greet him with
“Home, Sweet Home.”
Tuesday morning Mr. Parka, while
always democratic, was absolutely mon
arch of all he surveyed during chapel
exercises, for it was plainly evident
that he held the respect and loyal esteem
o' every girl in the vast student body,
together with the admiration of the fa
culty .This co-operative spirit has work
ed wonders in building up the institution
to a standard high above the ordinary
college. His address to the students
and visiting friends of the institution
was intereitingand instructive at every
point.
Tonight the college and the citizen’
of the city unite in tendering a public re
ception at Atkinson hall in honor of Mr.
Parks and everybody is cordially invit
ed by those in charge of affairs to come
out.
Mr. John Vinson Secures
' A Valuable Candy Agency
The agency for Guth candy —the
’candy of "The 400,” of New York, has
been secured by John Vinson, the Re
liable Druggist. This candy is regard
ed as the sweet of the elite and it is
rare that this make of candy is found
in this section and the opportunity af
forded the people of Milledgeville will
no doubt be generally appreciated
Mr. Vinson is. arranging to have a
formal opening for the agency of Guth’s
candy and at that time the general
public will be specially invited to visit
his drug store, but, of course, they arc
at all times cordially welcomed and as
sured of the most courteous treatment

J. J. Flint Now in
Race For Congress
Statesman From Griffin Will Begin
Vigorous Campaign For the
Sixth District
lion. J. J. Flynt, of Griffin, is in
Milledgeville and announces for con
gress from this district -
The announcement of Mr. Flynt will
create intense interest throughout this
district and several have annouced their
intention of supportion him.
However, of course.it is yet too early
to even draw conclusions of the most
uncertain character as the contest is
not yet started and one of more addi
tional condidates may enter to contest.
An excerpt from one of Mr. Flvnt’s
home papers says of his announcement:
Mr. Flynt’s career, as well as his per
sonality ana ability as a campaigner, is
one to inspire Buch confident belief, as
he has never been defeated before the
people, nor won by any small majority.
He has been three times in succession a
member of the general assembly, an
unprecedented honor in this county,
and once a number of the senate, and is
now judge of the city court of this
county. In the senate he made a bril
liant and surprising race for the pre
sidency, and was elected to that posit
ion unanimously on the death of his suc
cessful! (competitor.
In the legislature he was the cham
pion of every measure that would bene
fit the people, and especially distinguish
ed himself each time by the aggressive
fights by which the Georgia Experi
ment Station was kept from beingjearri-
ed out of this district into the North
district. He has been a strong advo
cate of agricultural development and is
one of the trustees of the Sixth district
agricultural college.
With such qualifications and ex
perience in the art and practice of
legislation, Mr Flynt is particularly
qualified to fill the present position of
which he aspires with honor to him
self and benefit to his constituents,
and is of an age and vigor to do bet
ter service than almost any one that
could be named.
While yet a comparatively young
man, Mr. Flynt is one of the leading
lights of the Griffin bar, and an ad
vocate of special elequence, a telling
quality which he has carried into all
his campaigns. He is a gentleman
of engaging personality and address,
with a great facility for making and
retaining friends, and the more voters
he meets in the active personal cam
paign that he promises the more votes
he will get in the primary.

While Away This Week he Consum
mated Trade Whereby City Slreuls
Will Still be Worked by Convicts.
By an agreement with Harris county
officials Mayor Miller S. Bell has con
cluded arrangements which will result
in the streets.of Milledgeville being
worked for another year by convict
labor. The labor will not cost the city
anything beyond their care and keep
and the arrangement is indeed a val
uable one for the city,
This means that seventeen convicts
will continue the work of improvement
on the streets and sidewalks of the city
and the fact that Mayor Bell has again
secured this labor is universally regard
ed ns another demonstration ot his
watchfulness for the city’s interests.
The prison commission had already
notified the city that the municipality
itself would have to attend to the mut
ter of securing the convicts and Mayor
Bull, by authority of tho city council,
went to work a* once on the matter
and secured an order from Harris coun
ty for its share of convicts, which will
he the same u“ before.
Now that the work of paving has
boen completed many notable improve
ments will be made throughout the
city.

Government to fmal Sick
Animals Free Here Feb. 21
The interest tr>u (rtfested*,in live stock
by the farmers of Baldwin County
should cause tho work of the Intinerant
Agricultural School to be heartily wel
corned and thoroughly enjoyed bv them.
The subject of “Feeding Farm Ani
mals” is one of importance since ra
tions properly mixed and fed not only
mean economy hut also enable tho ani
mat to more completely utilize the feed
tnereby being a much more efficient
machine.
Poor feeding is tho cause of many
diseases and sometimes the death of
many valuable animals. Dr. Richard
son from the State College of Agricul
ture will hold a free clinic Monday
afternoon, February 21. Ho would
like to have assembled in the city
animals which you third: are sick and
need treatment.
Sanitary milk production is certainly
needing some attention by farmers
and dairymen of the south. The lec
ture on this and tho demonstration of
separating and testing should bring out
every one connected in anyway with
the handling of milk or butter.
WHAT ABOUT IT M P. FARMER?
Last week The News told about the dangers in
high priced cotton. Have you thought the question
over. Mr. Fanner? It means something like old times
and a hard struggle to go back to low priced cotton.
It means something akin to suffering if you have to
buy high priced grain, no matter if cotton goes sky
ward again. It means indescribable conditions if we
have the high priced grain and the low priced cotton
There is but one way around the difficulty. That
is in providing for the home by growing crops needed
at hon e. Plant plenty of spring grain and reduce the
feed bill of your stock. Raise some chickens, plant a
garden, use the small patches around the house to ad
vantage. It will decrease your bills wonderfully.
Milledgeville has a goodly number of supply
houses—warehouses—that will fill vour wants cheaper
than the dealers anywhere else. We are friends of
these dealers, but we believe it is to your interest and
to their inteiest for you raise supplies at home. We
believe it so strongly until we feel like we know it con
clusively.
Think over the proposition, get busy, don’t plant
too much cotton and whatever you do raise enough of
the things you need at home.
Carl Vinson Out Public Reception At
For Legislature Atkinson Rail Tonight
Present Encumbent States to the
News he Will Again be a Candi
date For tiie Position.
Hon. Carl Vinson, present member of
tho lower house of the General Assem

that he would again bo a candidate, for
tho legislature. However, he thinks it
is yet too early to make r formal an-
nouneement as tho primary for state
officers cannot he held until after Aug-
until the first of next September?
There is much interest beginning to
bo manifested in politics, hut up to this
time The News has not been advised of
any impending contest for tho position
of legislator. Mr. Vinson doesn’t think
that there will be any opposition and
that if such should develop he is confi
dent he will win out before the people.
From time to time he gives his views
on leading political questions and in
regards to the question of the registra
tion law which is creating at much com
ment over the state ho explains him
self clearly as being in favor of amend
ing it only so far as tc the place of vot
ing is concerned. He is of tho opinion
that a citizen should he allowed to vote
at the county site, no matter in what
district ho lives. Mr. Vinson says ho
