Bonner, l it,|)rh’.iot' of the Baldwin Hotel, took ocqusiuQ to ask Matthews, the hotel porter, for change lor a dollar bill. Out of the .change handed over b Matthews were picked the marked "mi that, had been placed in the rog l t«r the evening before. Matthews was serving as night por ter at the hotel. Evidently he had- wailed until a late hour in the night io so about bis mischief, as a certain iimount o£ noit'e naturally followed the prying open of tile telephone reg ister. As soon us it was learned that the negro had the marked money in his possession a warrant was sworn oul for him and within a period of only a few minutvs he wus in the dutches at tips law. Matthews at first refused lo i ("1 feus Jo the crime. Thu negro is still in the Baldwin County jail, having failed to obtain bond for his temporary relief. The Baldwin Comity Democratic Executive Committee lias named Col. Jos. E. Bottle. Capt. .1. II. Ennis and ■ Jr C. \Y. Robson as delegates to.at- 'end the stale Democratic convention (o lie held in Macon next Wedi.e.sin■ . October 4lh. Messrs. Carlisle A. Giles, Frank .mhnson and Kyle T. Alfri a ! v re named as,alternate delegates to ih P idate convention. The appointun i:Ti of the delegates and alternates was .were made Monday. Baldwin County wo* carried by Governor Thos. W. Hardwlelc in ne t.rlmary held September 13tb and the above delegates were name I in accord unee with the Governor’s reqimt. Probably no county in Georgia will have representation by men equally known in state-wide political Ircles as will Baldwin County. Col. i’ott'e was six years ago a candidate for Gov ernor, while Capt. Ennis has figured conspicuously in the Georgia legisla ture for several years as senator frr ,n this district and represeatativ • f-om this (ounty, and Mr. Robson is looked i; on as a man of unusual ^nflu ,i. e i" Stat6 politics. At a special meeting of the boanl ■ of commissioners of roads and rove- uues helii I-ri lay th • tax ra'e ul Bald win County was set at $I7.MU ( , u ttio thousand, totaling $??.00 with the stati rale of $>.(10 on the thousand. Hi, rate set bytho commissioners at tin ir meeting Friday was a r. duc- tioii of $!.’.50 on the thousand of that assessed a year ago. This reduction was made in face of the fact the tax- ' • i roperty returned in the county tills yc-ar is between a half million and three-quarters of a million dollars less than last year. 'Ihe rate as decided upon was di vided as follows: For general expenses, including road maintenance, officers salaries, jurors, etc., $12.50 on the thousand.. For health department $0.75 on thu thousand. I For school purposes $4.on oft the 1 thousand. Taking into consideration the re duction In tax rate and the property returned in the county, Hie decrease in receipts this year as compared with last year will « eeed $15,000. * jr tnelr equivalent tllo.Oo in cash subscription business) this uoinina- on ballot will he good for 150,000 votes and ycu will he entitled to one Meriwether, Ga. -Miss Mattie- Mire Torrance 50.000 •Miss Clyde Veal 1 50,00(1 50.000 'Opportunity Coupon" good for 100,-1 Mrs. R.

CAREhUL HANDLING HOGS NECESSARY (By L. E. Swain, County Agent) Farmers who are arranging to par ticipate in th- co-operative hog sale on next Tuesday, October 3rd, should not over-feed their hogs on the morn ing of the sale. In the first pluce ft. is not clealtug fairly with the purchaser to gorge the hogs belore bringing them in to he weighed, for this <cjj.j pels the buyer t*-4«Uu. c nra . in ./no mkch shrinkage, us he Is guiylng for something he does not get. On the hand the hogs will ride to market on a light feed more comfortably, and with more safety than if fed heavily. In loading the hogs they should he handled as little excitement as possi ble. and the wagon or truck in .which they are transported, should have a couple of inches of sand spread over Hie floor and the san .thoroughly soaked with water. This will insure tin* comfort of tin- animals on a hot duy, and enable them to reach the pens in safety, and avoid the hazzurd of having them overcome by heat. It is very important to take those pro- cautions at this time of Ore year when the weather Is so hot unci dry. In this connection 1 want to impre- ui on every farmer, who ha* a surplus of hogs weighing 150 ths. or more the importance or getting them In this sale. 1 feel confident he* will realize a greater net profit from selling the light hogs than to wait until later on when ibe hogs have taken on more flesh, and when the heavy movement of fat hogs to market depresses the price. As a rule this is the experience ol the winter market, and 1 see noth ing to indicate that such a condition will not prevail again this year. Sunday School Workers Will Meet Next Suniay Air. J. F. Millur, president of the- Baldwin (Count Sunday School Assn ciurton. has railed for a meeting of the Sunday school workers of (ho county to bo held next Sunday lufi-r- nonn at 4:30 o’clock at the Episcopal Church ,'n Milledgeville.
