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 R, Wateon L5- 318th district*—'Palmer 15, Watson 7. 31!>th distrlrt—Palmer 22, Watson 2. 320th distriot—Pal to or 1115, Smith 71.
