very interesting program has been ar

Commissioner N. II. Bullard will hold
office undisturbed until after the suring
season of year after next and maybe

this year. If so it is quite probable he
will be without opposition.
The fact that the term for which he
was elected expires befuff another gen

election to be held this year.

Prison Commission, Here Las! Week
Looking Over the Penitentiary.
Hon. Rufe Hutchens, chairman of
the Prison Commission of Georgia, is
nothing if not progreaive. He has de
voted considerable time to development
of the penitentiary here and consequent
ly the new tuberculosis hospital and the
.new reformatory building arc nearly
completed. Under the management of
Capt. J. M. Burke the farm is being
very much improved and prospects for
this stason are very flattering. Col. J.
W\ Adams is also doing splendid work
in his position and all told the farm is
progressing nicely.
The latest movement in the way of
progressiveness is the matter of using
electricity at the penitentiary, both for
light and whatever power is needed.
While nothing official has been obtain
ed on this score, still it is understood
that the Commission is now consider
ing installing the system at the farm.
If this is done the reformatory and the
’ whole prison farm will bo furnished
with electricity. All this will add to
the already uo-to-date farm and in a
short time still more remarkable im
provements will be noted.

In the first political meeting of the
year, Hon. Job. U. Pottle arid Col. Carl
Vinson addressed the voters of the 115th
district at Union Point school house last
Satur Jay night inj the interest of the
latter's candidacy for the legislature
from Baldwin county.
Mr. Vinson was introduced by Mr.
Pottle, who told in a few fitting words
the object of the address and he impor
tuned the people to follow their courte
as hdopted two years ago and re-elect
Vinson to the place he had so well filled
and which he was now better qualified
to fill on account of his experience.
Mr. Vinson's address followed and
with logical conciseness he told of wh it
he h iJ durr- and a ideavored to do in thq
legislature in the year past and what
he expected to do in the coming session
of the legislature. He promised other
things for the benefit of Baldwin coun
ty and the state if re-elected to the
ixisition and he spoke confidently of his
re-election, for he said he did not be
lieve the people of Baldwin countv would
refuse him a se otid term wh :n he had
done his best for them.
Speaking of his work in the interest
of the farmers Mr. Vinson stated that
he had introduced a resolution in the
legislature memorializing congress to
pass such laws as would prohibiespecu !
lation in farm products and it passed
the house and the c,u -stion is now be
fore congress in strong light.
Corcerning the state law in referenca
to the books of a farmer not being
recognized in court, Mr. Vinson stated
th at he expected to introduce in th
coming session of the legislature a bill
which would remedy this defect and if
re-elected he certainly would strive to
insure its passage as quickly as possible.
Attacking his opponent’s platform he
declared himself against the distribu
tion of free school books by the County
Board of Education to the people who
were unable to buy school books for
.their children. He said. "Do you
(know a white man in this community
' who is not able to buy school books lor
| his children?
Who would be benefited by such
, Legislation as this? It can benefit no
‘ one except the negro. Is there a white
|, man in this community who would go

Organization ul Fruit And Garden
Society Will Advance Cause oF
Education Along Tills Line.
The proposed home club for the ad
vancement of the fruit and garden work
in this section, which will bo organized
at the court house next Saturday week,
April 15, will pttoba hi be one of the
most vuuahle orgrnizations in the coun
ty- '
Diversification among the farmers is
now very important and the high cost of
living is quite likely to continue ittde-
rinitelv, consequently any steps looks
toward the reduction of this cost is
received cordially. It is hoped by those
behind the work that liberal rhaaponse
will be Blade in the promises and that
a large crowd will be present [on Satur
day week.
RrJt. b. H. Minoar writing The Newt
on the^suhjcct says;
The first question to present ituclf
upon the establishment of any work, is
"What is its value?” The fruit and
garden society to be organized in tin-
c )urt house April 16th, will, it is be
lieved, prove valuable in many w tvs.
The farms of today are demanding
men, and the scope of this society en-
cludes the encouragement of useful
agricultural education. This is to be
brought ubout through discussions and
the use of a reading room.
Members of the society may put in
demonstration plats under directions of
the State College of Agriculture,
through which definite problems ulong
the line of home gardening, fruit and
truck gardening may be solved, The
og cabin has gone, but its going has
been bo gradual that the improvement
wrought ill home life has been almost
unnoticed. Home adornment tH yet far
from perfection, and much greater de
velopment must take place in the fu
ture.
What shall we do with the boys and
girls in this progrtssive age? This is a
question presenting itself quite often,
and especially when we note the habits
and environments of many. The socie
ty will put forth efforts and offer means
of improvement for the young people
in the rural districts from the viewpoint
of education, refinement, and useful
ness.
Protracted Services
At MWM Church
Rev. S. P. Wiggins, of the Methodist
church, will commence the annual pro
tracted services next Sunday and they
willcontinue indefinitely. In rannounc-
ing the meeting Mr. Wiggins stated
that he would like to e ilist ail the work
ers possible in the cause, but as yet no
visitors have been announced to assist
with the ministerial work other than
Rev. Mr. Parks, who is visiting his son
here. He will probably assist greatly
in the work.
There is no doubt but that Mr. Wig
gins will conduct an interesting series
of services and his congregation will
undoubtedly be large at all times.

at Opera House Tonight.
Eor the benefit of the monument fund,
which is being raised by the local chap
ter of the Daughters of the Confeder
acy, President M. M. Parks, of the
Georgia Normal and Industrial College,
will deliver an illustrated lecture at
the opera house tonight. The theme
of his address will bo his trip around
the world and il will be illustrated with
various motion pictures and this will
make it exceedingly realistic, though
Mr. Park’s vidid description and inter
esting stories need no aid to hold the
hearer. j
The lecture will undoubtedly he an 1
interesting one and for this reason alone
a large crowd should attend, but when
it is considered that the cause is doubly
worthy than the opera house phould In
filled to tho limit. The charge for re
served seats is only 25 and 50 cents.
Total List ot Voters Lxccods That ct
' Year Before Last hy 43 Names,
Total Doing 1,250.
Tuesday tho registration booi.s for
Baldwin county closed with a total of
1,250 names enrolled, breaking the re
cord and excec ding the registration bt
1908 by 43 names, when 1,207 voters
registered.
The registration list represents quite
an amount of work on the part of lax-
collector K P. Hawkins and it is due
largely to his energy in this direction
that tho list shows up so strongly.
In the campaign this year—there
being two of them—state and national,
and county— there wifi probably he con-
