State Farm Purchase Question Reopened For White Convicts
Atlanta March 16 Governor Smith may ask the prison commission to reopen bids on a state farm for white convicts and study two or three other offers. He objects to the Wimberly tract in Twiggs county but recognizes its central location and fertility. Bids fell after the Wimberly recommendation, and some bidders cut prices. Governor Smith sent experts to assess the Wimberly tract and will pursue further inquiries, delaying a final decision for days. Minter Wimberly met with the governor, but no agreement was made. The decision hinges on transport costs and future savings. The piece ends with an unrelated joke about John D. Rockefeller and a Chicago University note.
