The name Of Baldwin county Is
being heralded far and wide. Beyond
any doubt there Is good reason for it,
and this county is becoming famous
il many ways. Until few years ago
there was but little farming done; but
now our timber is practically gone and
farming is our main industry. Not
outstanding these facts Baldwin

Of the state that pays more money

Charles Barclay is a, native of Penn
sylvania, born near Pittsburg in 1852.
He graduated at Cornell University,
Ithaca. n. " in 1876, studied law in
Philadelphia and was admitted to the
bar in 1879, p-acticed law in that city
for about twenty yers, and came to
Baldwin county, Alabama, in 1899 on
a business trip to investigate the title
10 a large tract of land in which him
self and others had become interested,
Much broken in health, Mr.. Barclay
remained six weeks in the piney woods
with almost a miraculous change in
health. Here is where 1 shall spend
the remainder of my life" he wrote
back TO his son. ANY man who can
not enjoy life here would not be con-
tent in heaven
Within two years he closed up his
business affairs in Philadelphia and in
1901 registered as a voter in Baldwin
county. He Immediately identified
himself with the business interests Of
the county. In 1905 he became pres
ident of the Baldwin County Bank.
which position he holds at the present
time. He has always maintained that
the greatest need Of the county was
better transportation facilities-rail-
roads, wagon roads and a canal.
He has given literally of his time
and money for the furthering of these
projects. He was the forerunner Of
the Bay Minette and Fort Morgan rail-
road and he projected a railroad across
the county from Volanta to Pensacola
which road is now under construction.
He established ferry across Perdido
bay at Lillian TO enable the farmers
of the county to reach the Pensacola
market. He is sanguine that the pro-
jected canal connecting Pensacola bay
with Perdido bay and Mobile bay will
within a reasonable time become an
accomplished fact. The canal across
the southern end of the county, he
says, would not only give cheap and
convenient means of transportation to
the hundreds of truck farmers now To-
Gated in that territory and the many
more to come, but would prove most
attractive route for the yachtsmen and
the pleasure seekers from Pensacola
to New Orleans.
Mr.. Barclay now resides on his large
stock and dairy farm adjoining the
town of Lillian on the beautiful Per
dido bay. fifteen miles from Pensa
cola.

ONE OF BALDWIN CoUNTY'S
LIVEsT AND MOST PROGRESS
sIVE TOWNS, 1T HAS ALREADY
MADE THE COUNTY SIT UP AND
TAKE GOOD, STRAIGHT NOTICE.

Foley, the terminus of the Foley
branch Of the L. & n. railroad. is one
of Baldwin county's wide-awake, hus-
Ting towns. which has been heard Of
more than once during the past seven
years when her people really got down
to the actual business Of city build
ing, and when you first began hearing
such names as Charles Barclay, the
we'll known Lillian developer; of Frank
Lister and his model self-supporting
experimental farm near Foley; of
Frank Fessler with his Foley Onlooker,
who is one Of the Invest wires and
most important publicity agents in
southeast Alabama.
Good crops, fine health conditions,
an ideal climate and a fruitful and
beautiful section, are some of the
things that Foley has TO offer the pros
pective settler, some of the finest rec
ords in southeast Alabama having
been made in its direct vicinity.
It has a live business section, sew
eral good hotels, a strongly financed
bank, a fertilizer plant, producers as
sociations, several churches, a good
city school, one Of the finest newspa-
pers anywhere, the Foley Onlooker,
and is withal an intensely alive and
prosperous trading center for its sur
rounding farm lands.
Shipped From Foley.
The following figures, compiled by
the North and South in the interests
of the L. & N. railroad tell more about
Foley than mere word picture could
possibly convey however, to the prac-
teal man who is after facts and fig
ures:
From June l, 1911, to May 81, 1912,
the Baldwin County Producers Cor
poration, an organization of over 200
members, shipped one hundred and
retted S331983S, eight cars of Irish
POTATOES netting $3,S64.67, three cars
of cucun1bers $1,2S4.08, cukes by ex-
press s1O2.08, beans by express $313.7s
and other small shipments netting ST.
114.21, or in all total of $39,S77.20.
From June /, 1912, TO February 1, 1913,
there were shipped 1913 carloads Of
sweet potatoes and the growers still
had several hundred carloads in pits
from which they shipped from time to
time.

The following is a more detailed
statement of the climate:
Temperature-The average temper

The temperature seldom falls below
zero, even in the northern portion of
the state, and it has been below zero
in the southern portion of the state
once in the last 80 or 40 years.
On February IS, 1899, the tempera-

the last killing frost in spring are as

The annual average for the northern
