a three mile stretch.
The Macon road work began early
in the year and the first section was
completed several weeks ago. Work
wan suspended until additional right
of ways could be secured.
The first section included a three
mile stretch beginning at the city
limits and running to the State Farm.
Several curves were eleminated in
the new road which has been open
ed to traffic.
The Baldwin County Convicts do
ing the work arc cutting through thi
hill west of the State Farm, beginn
ing at Fishing Oreefc bridge. The
road through this hill will be cu
deep as sixteen feet in some places
and will require many long fills, i
ed the foreman in charge of the
work. The road will be regraded to
the Jones County line and in many
places will be«entirely changed.
The Macon road is being improv-

G. S. C. PROFESSOR TALKS
ON MODERN YOUTH FRIDAY
OF Youths Problem.
Profesor Francis Daniels, head of
the department of Modern Language*
spoke at the meeting of the Kiwanis
club last Friday evening, using as
his Mibjri" the problems of Modern
youth.
Professor Daniels had given many
years of thought and study to his
Mubjort and his lecture was instruc
tive. He took an optomistic view
of the out come of the fas: changing
charactristics of youth and his argu
ment for the encouragement of youth
in their efforts was convincing.
Professor Daniels life work has
been with the young of the country,
having spent many years in college
ns a student and teacher. He told of
the methods of training a child when
Irst started to school and how
today the entire training and charac-
huilding of the young was being
left with the teachers and that the
me life had dwindled.
The lecture of Prof. Daniels was
the second of a series on modern
problems that will be given at the
mini Rev. J. F. Yarbrough talk-
»n the church at a previous meet
ing.

This new form of tile is receiving
universal acceptance and comroen-
datnn in the building material world.
Patent has been applied for and it
will bear trade mark XOX.
Many distinct features of improve
ment are shown over the older forms
of tile. From the manufacturers
standpoint there is no waste In pro
duction, and this means leas cost to
consumer. The load bearing capaci
ty is five times greater than any
other tile on market. Conduits are
allowed for electric wiring and for
water and, heating pipes. Partition
joints can *be introduced at any time
during construction. In comparison
with other tile, a laborer can build
same number of cubic feet of sur
face in one-fourth less time, using
one half amount of materia) with
this interlocking device and the sur-
i face presents a solid wall through

FINE PECAN CROPS IN COUNTY
YiaJd Small but Nuts of Super
Flavor. Large Income Eapocted
Like all other crop* of this y
the pecan crop has matured earlier
than heretofore at this season, and
our citizens who have pecan grovea,
or only a few trees, report* that the
crop is unusually fine, the nuts hav
ing u superior flavor. In some parts
of the county where the trees bore
most abundantly last year, very few-
nuts have been produced this year,
he early frosts last spring killing
many of the bloom?.
The crop is being gathered and
some have been offered for sale at
thirty cents per pound. An acre con
tains about fifteen trees, and if the
uverage yield is fifty pounds to tie-
tree the income will be $225.00. As
he trees double in yield the income
will likewise double.
The .Milledgevilie Nursery Co., has
shipped large numbers of tries and
the pecan industry is growing each
year in this section.
Mr. J. T. Minor was retired from

The railway postal clerk* running

him with a radio set on the night of
his retirement.
Mr. Minor before entering the
postal service made hit* home in Mill-

in the performance of Ms doty and
has rendered a faithfat service. He

"The cotton grader found a larger
per cent of short cotton in yourw
than the other samplo. but considers
both good cotton.*’
"I am sending you the two sam
ples that have been stapled on our
stapling machine which show.* the
diffi rent lengths of fiber contained
in any given quantity of cotton."
"I sin glad to see that the farm
ers in that nection are beginning to
take un interest in quality and length
of staple of their cotton, rather than
to try to produce larger quantities
of u type of cotton that is undesira
ble to the cotton mills.”
Mr. Robert Wall, who has recent
ly made a trip through North Caro
lina to get in touch with cotton mills
for future business showed me sever
al telegram* from western growers
of long staple cottop, in which inch
and eighth cotton was quoted at SIX
HUNDRED POINTS above ordinary
cotton, or thirty dollars a bale, more
than ordinary cotton.
We can grow that inph and eighth
cotton in Baldwin, we can get that
twenty-five dollars extra money, for
the same work, the same picking, if
wo get the right seed and see that
ntir cotton hring^its value when sold.
Say Baldwin county makes four
thousand bales of cotton Nhort staple
that brings twenty cents, that is four
hundred thousand' dollars If wc
have the long staple wc should get at
least twenty-five dollars more a bail
or five hundred thousand dollars for
the same work and labor.
If we will get good fanners to buy
two hundred bushels of this improv
ed seed, and we make one hundred
and fifty to two hundred bales *.f
long staple, we will at the same time
produce five to six thousand bush
els of improved seed, so that year af
ter next, we can plarlt the entire
county in improved seed*.
Now what will it cost to get this
improved seid^mt about three dol-
ars a bushel, -.O^Ix hundred dollars.
