ONCE WARDEN’S
HOUSE MOVED

Fam. Laat Prim Remiader.
The removal of the house on the
northwest corner of the G. S. C. W.
campu.- (known in recent years as
the Kemp house), does away with
the Last reminder, that the beautiful
square, now occupied by Georgia’s
greatest college, and annually the
hnfne of over a thousand "Georgia
girls, was once Georgia’s state pen
itentiary.
This house, perhaps a hundred
years; old, was the home of the war
den during the many years that the
square was used as n penitentiary,
and it served many purpose... after
the state penal institution was re
moved. and even served as a class
room for the children of the train
ing school of the college.
It is quite a coincidence that this
house of former wardens, is now be
ing removed by a group of prisoner*
from the State Prison Farm, work
ing under instructions from Warden
Dunaway, the present head of the
.•late’s penal institution, near this
city.
As the timber in this old building
j is of the finest quality, it wall be
used to construct buildings at the
I farm, and no doubt last another hun
dred years.
The citizens of the town are pleas
ed to se it removed as it was not in
keeping with the other building* on
the campus, and it will greatly add
to the beauty of the grounds when
grass and trees occupy its present
site.
Friday afternoon, October 14th, at
4:30 o’clock work will begin on the
Parks Memorial Hospital to be erect
ed by the Alumoue Association of
the college, when Mrs. M. M. Parks,
wife of the dead president, will lay
the first brick.
Miss Mary Brooks', president of
the association, with her associates
of the organization have planned a
brief program to mark the beginning
of the work. The building will be of
the same architecture as the other
buildings on the campus, and is to
be erected on the spot that was se
lected by President Parks as a hos
pital site before his death. The build
ing is to be a $50,000 structure, ab
solutely fire proof and to accomo
date 200 or more patients. It will be
built with the Corinthian arches and
fluted columns in keeping with the
other building* built by Dr. Parks.
The program will begin at 4:30
o'clock, at the site of the building
on the northeast corner of hte cam
pus. The* exercises will begin with a
song, “Follow the Gleam," which
was one of the favorites of the for
mer school head. Miss Alice Napier
will lead the congregation in the
First Psalm, thin being the scripture
passage used at the memorial exer
cises last spring. Rev. John F. Yar
brough will deliver the invocatioi
Widow to Lay First Brick.

president, will place the first brick to

he Alkahest Lyceum Company
giving the show with the entire
:eedi going to the hospital fund.
The offer was made by a representa
tive of the company several wekes
ago and the date for the show was
arranged this week.
The program is original, fastinat*
ing. melodious, and most unique, for
the idea of an acordion ensemble
is a new one. Interspers.d with the
uccordion numbers will be piano,
voice and other musical novelties.
The melodies of a pipe-organ, the
tonal beauty of a symphony orches
tra, the volume of a brass band—
all of these effect*are obtained when
the accordion girl* play for you.
Popular melodies of the day are fol
lowed with operatic numbers and
classical selections that test the ar
tistic abilities of Mint DeLong and
her tpleolcd assistant*.
The program, however, is more
than an evening of accordion music.
Miss DeLong, who heads the group,
is a gifted pupil of the noted Pier-
santi, Chicago’s leading teacher of
the accordion. In addition, she i sa
vocalist of considerable attainment,
with a rich soprano voice. She is also
a good pianist. Miss Krna Griesamer
whistles, reads and does musical
monologues, in addition to her major
work on the accordion. Mim Griese-
mor also appears in vocal numbers
Miss Velma Shotwell, the third mem
ber of the company, is an accomplish
ed artist on the occordion, as well
as a good pianist- She too will be
ocal ensemble numbers.
ALONG STAPLE

Buldwin county has a great oppor
tunity to win out on agricultural
lines, if we will only have the good
sense to do the thing that the other
fellow fails to do, und do it now.
There is cotton being grown in
this county, thut is worth from fif
teen to twenty-five dollars n bale
more than the average.
This i* due to the fact that the
staple is superior.
Captain J. H. Ennis on a special
field has made eight bales to eight
acres, and this cotton being of a su
perior staple is to day worth at least
fifteen dollar* per bale more than
the average cotton, and Captain En
nis feeis that it may bring twenty-
five dollars per Kale more than the
average cotton has sold for thia year,
that means $200, or enough to pay
for the work and the fertilisers.
This section should concentrate oe
long staple, that is staple that will
run an inch and eighth.
This city gave away several thous
and dollars* worth of automobiles a
few years ago, to increase trade, if
it will now secure a thousand dol
lars’ worth of improved seed, and
put it in the hands of the right part
with the understanding that the im
proved seed will be sold back to
• who supplied it, in one year we
have every farmer pLanting im
proved seed, and add thousands to
the money spent with our merchants,
for it is the extra five to fifteen dol
lar* that comes from a bale of cot
ton, that the people spend at home,
all the rest goe* to banks, or for
taxes, or for fertilizers, or things al
ready consumed.
When a buyer can buy one hun-
drer bales of improved cotton he
will give more for it, than if he
must buy only two or three bales at
a time and hold until he gets a hun
dred.
Do you notice how the rotton buy
ers are pulling the staple of every
bale of cotton, that they now buy. It
i* only a matter of a short time when
all cotton will be Bold on its staple
value.
I do not intend to plan’, unything
but long staple, and will insist that
all on my place plant the same grade
of cotton seed.
I want the banks und merchants
of this town to put one thousand dol
lars in the hand* of our county
agent, and tell him to seture that
amount of Coker's improved long sta
ple cotton seed, and to place it with
such parties, and on such terms as
will make it possible to supply every
farmer who wants it, with seed for
his 1928 crop, then every one make
it his business to have this county a
strictly long staple cotton growing
section of the South, it will pay you
better, and quicker than ten times
the money expended in some new
«nterprise that we know nothing
about und it will do more to adver
tise and add to the value of otir
land.-', thun five thousand dollars
spent in any kind of advertising.
