BALDWIN IS SCENE OF
 MARCH OF PROGRESS
Emigrants From North, West and Sweden Makes Big County One Of Modern Ideas
 and Civilization.

1, bearing the fruits of it's observation had upon the great immigration ques- ton which Is being given time, con- sideration and discussion in Alabama just now. For one thing 1t showed how colonists and immigrants could be brought to oiAlabama and for another 1t showed what profit awaited the men who brought them and what agricul- tural success awaited the industrious workers from the North and West In the Alabama climate and on the Ala bama soil.
 Baldwin, study.
 Baldwin County is just now perhaps the most interesting industrial study in Alabama. It is the largest county in Alabama. The area of this single county Is larger than that of the State of Rhode Island From it's northern boundary at Little River, to the Gulf of Mexico 1t Is 110 miles long. It con- tains over million acres of land and in 1900 its population was 13,194. The population has rapidly increased since 1900. The four years intervening were the years of the greateN progress in Baldwin County history.
 Now word or two as to its situa- tion and its conditions. That part of Baldwin County which lies along the eeAS'AaAS anu ANdsHNllie TOaQ between Montgomery and Mobile is best known to the out side world. On this rail- road Is situated Bay Minette. the coun- ty seat. This line runs through the county north of its center A con siderable portion of the county lies north of Bay Minette and the railroad.
 Bay Minette and It's near neighbor the saw mill town of Dolive are thriv- ing, prosperous places. The court a and impressive building of yellow brick with sandstone trimmings. The Bank or Baldwin County occupies another handsome two story building of the same material, and there are other brick structures in the town. Town lots in Bay Minette bring fancy prices and there Is apparently fine promise of prosperous future for the town. The country north of the town of Bay Minette contains fine farming lands Its people are Southern farmers. who farm in the cotton and corn style of the Southern agriculturists, but who live more upon the farm products than the usual Alabama farmer of small capital.
 There are towns, settlements and neighborhoods along the the Tensas and Little Rivers as there have been since the white man came in and wrest- ed the land from the Indian.
 So much for the northern section of the county.
 Baldwin County contains the newest and the oldest civilization of Alabama. In the past its settlements have been | along the eastern shores of Mobile Bay from Fort Morgan to Mobile the mouth of the big river that empties into the Bay and along the rivers in the north ern portion of the county. Along the eastern coast from Navy Cove and Bon Secour Bay to Daphne communities of Creoles live as their forefathers lived Tor hundred years back and some of the descendants of the men who secur- ed grants of lands from the crown of

ua,nol,a Springs, Dec. 14.-(Staf correspo,, deuce, ,)--CiviIization in the making, with Baldwin County as the theatre, that rare drama or human in- terest is being played.
 The pine wilderness in half a dozen quarters of the big county is being transformed into agricultural para discs. The pine wood of today with no living thing but the timid sheep and the patient COW grazing upon the suc- culent velvet grass may awake to an- other sight tomorrow at the sound of hammer and saw, as church, school house and cottage home assumes form and substance. Today the pines may scftly sigh the hours away at the woo- ing of the Gulf breeze. Tomorrow they may be prostrate and overcome by the advance of civilization.
 Today the woods may be quiet with the deep solitude of nature, almost op- pressively beautiful and solemn. To- morrow they may resound with the heavy y-footed tread of Percheron horses from Indiana, or echo to the speech of the Northerner and Westerner with its wealth of rolling r's. or the harsher yet quaint and attractive dialect of the Swedish emigrant.
 The pines of Baldwin County are to- day the silent witnesses of sights and scenes that they knew not in the un- numbered years of the voiceless wild- erness. A new civilization is coming in, a new order is being established, a new society is being formed. The sight of 1t all is at once unusual and in- teresting. When enterprise, man and circumstances get together In the ham, mering out of a civilization, it arouses an intense interest in one who feels even a passing interest in the affairs of his fellow man. To witness this sort of manufacturing Is we'll worth the discomforts of buggy trip of forty five miles through the big county of Baldwin. such a trip as took with c. A. Denham. one of the engineers and constructors of the Fort Morgan and Bay Minette Railroad, now being built We drove south from Bay Minette along the thirty-seven miles of the new railroad, but here and there mak- ing excursions to the towns and colo nies which have recently sprung up in the southern portion of Baldwin County. We visited in turn Silverbill. the Swedish settlement. Bennetts. the new town whose property Is owned by railroad engineers and superintendents of Illinois. Ohio and Indiana; Summer dale. the newly laid-out town on which there Is at present not a house stand ing, but which, 1t is said, in the future will be the seat of a new county; &c., nora, the colony of fruit growers which is today an agricultural paradise. and Foley's. the colony brought in by the manufacturer of famous patent med icine. and in which he has built a $9. 900 residence and established a model farm, winding up our horse and buggy Journey at Magnolia Springs, where a considerable colony of Chicago people are spending the winter in cottages and hotels.
 The trip bristled with interest. Not only was 1t valuable for its interest, but it was of value because of the

wards of northern immigratnts. which are clustered about the post ofice Of Sonora. The owner of one of these orchards was last spring offered the enormous sam of $500 for the fruit on each acre of his peach crop.
 But on the site of Summerfield. the proposed county seat there is today only one building, frame two room structure in which is located the com missary of a contractor who Is getting out crossties for the new railroad. The only inhabitants of Summerfield are first the young white man who runs the commissary and the negro cross- tie cutters who live about in tents
 A mile square of land has been cleared away for the town. The trees have been cut away, the stumps dyna- mited out of the ground and all put in readiness for the coming of the set- tiers and the building of the town.
 It Is a beautiful location for a town. a level piece of pine land upon high ridge. The clearing has been made in the heart of the woods. The limits of the town are clearly marked by the pines which rise close beyond them and which form a frame for the mile square on which the Summerfield of the future is to be built.
 The absence of any inhabitants is not due to the disinclination of the people of Baldwin County to move in-
