MR. BASS BEGINS WORK
QN POTATO CURING PLANT
OM Dweditt* Being Torn Away W
Found to Contain EJuoiod Lum
bar. Nearly Century Old.
Mr. E. EL Bass is having prelimi
nary work done for the erection o-f
his potato lvn.se on the comer of
Wayne and Montgomery streets.
The old house, which was built
probably something like a century'
ago, has bec-n torn down. It was
found to contain sound lumber of un
usual dimensions, as it come from
primaeval forests of the original |
pine. Such lumber is not now obtain- j
able., and vs o thing of the po-d < n j
tbs' erection of buildings of the pres-;
cut day.
The potato house Mr. Bass wil
erect is to bu large enough to house
all the sweet potatoes tlxat will be
carried there, and will provide the
farmers the means to care for their
crop. This is a progressive move
ment, which will enable the farmers
i.n diversifying their crops.
Attorney General Mitchell Palmer
carried Baldwin county by a majori
ty of 61 over his closest opponent,
Hon. Thomas E. Watson, in the pres
idential primary held Tuesday, A [n il
20th.
There were only 570 votes polled
out of a registration of over 1,300.
Of these Mr. Palmer received 230;
Senator Smiths 140, and Thus. E.
Watson 178.
In the city precinct there were
three hundred votes polled. A num
ber of Palmer supporters were at thv
polls all day, and worked to get oirt
the voters. Especially was this true
when it became known that Mr. Wat
son would come from the country
precincts with over 100 majority.
A very small- vote was polled in the
country precincts, tbc farmers pre-
ferring to give the day to work rath
er than go to the polls to cast their
ballots.
The following is the unofficial vote
of the precincts:
105th district—Palmer 1., Smith 3,
Watson *.
115th district—Palaver
