ONCE WARDEN’S HOUSE MOVED ; 0M Readme m the C. S. C. W. Caapei Beia| Meved t. State 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.

Parks, wife of the dead president, will lay the first brick.

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.

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.

ALONG STAPLE SELLS FOR MORE Cktffihcr of Cniawct FiaJi Thai Sane Cattoa Sold Here n Werth $15 to $25 Mere Per Bale. 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. I am hitting the nail on the head in this article. What are you going J. L. SIBLEY, Secretary. The Service Star Legion will sell forget-me-nots Friday, the proceeds of which will go to the Disabled Vet erans.
