The Cuthbert Appeal reports funeral arrangements for Jonx C. Har Jr. at Eastern Cemetery and Dr. Jeffries interment in Dougherty county. It also covers local voting results, warnings about registration, Homicide news, market cotton prices, and political campaigning in Macon and district updates.
The piece reports on campaign influence among Black voters, noting a potential call to steal to fund taxes, alongside several local updates. It covers Simp son Johnston’s cotton dealings in Eufaula, a Quitman representative election victory, a reported Georgetown homicide rumor, a Washington relic, and remarks on Tomlin’s vote surge with a warning about manipulating Black voters for political gain. It concludes with Clay county’s Democratic landslide and projected legislative control.
The Legislature created an Agriculture Department under a Commissioner of Agriculture. Dr Thomas P. Jones of Greene County was named head, with Colonel T. C. Howard as clerk, P. H. Mell Jr. as chemist, and J. Henry Smith as statistician. They began organizing the new department and expect to be fully operational by year end. The plan includes soil analysis, seed distribution, pest study, fertilizer testing, irrigation, fencing, and other farm-related duties. Capt T J Ilott of Macon fell from a scaffold on his Calhoun county plantation, breaking both arms with other injuries.
