At the meeting Of the Board of
! County Commissioners held last Fri
day w. r. Cobb was unanimously
reelected steward of the county Door
| farm and home for the year 1914.
Mr.. Cobb has placed his application
before the board thirteen times
| Il
each year, the coming term making
| thirteen years he will have been in
charge Of the farm. During these
years he has made a great many i'm
! provements on this splendid county
property. He has reclaimed num-
Der Of acres of bottom land, and
! there is now open on the farm more
than twice as much upland as there
was when Mr.. Cobb was first elected
! in 1901. A number of splendid
buildings have taken the place of old
and dilapidated structures. Four
times as much barn space is neces-
sary now, and the buildings ere we'll
| planned for room and convenience.
A large pasture has been set ~ ber-
muda and wired in. In addition to
this there is a large woods pasture
In the spring and summer these pas
lures are sufficiently large and luXu-
RANT to supply comfortable grazing
for at least twenty head OF cattle.
| In addition to these there is a large
| hog pasture, and here can be found
one Of the finest Duroc-Jcrsey herds
in the county. All supplies for the
farm in the way Of provisions and
feed are raised on the farm. About
! twenty bales OF cotton are raised each
| T. N nI ii tn 70
A number of convicts are yearly
| Quarted at the stockade on the farm
| during the winter months, and these.
| too, as well as the road mules, are
fed from poor farm products This
year an unusually fine crop has been
made on the farm, and it is estimat-
ed by a committee from the grand
| jury that the value of the crops on
| the poor farm will amount to about
81 500 over and above running eX-
! Lenses. During Mr. Cobb's admins
tration we do not remember Of sin
gle instance where the grand jury
has reprimanded him for anything
done or left undOne at the home or
on the farm, and at the close of each
sitting Of these guardians of the
county he has always received the
highest praise from that body. The
uniortunates at the farm are kindly
treated and well cared for, and the
inmates think there is nobody like
MIR. Cobb and his family. We con-
graduate the County Board upon
the choice of a steward for another
year.
