of thanks, and having thus es-
tablished the source of the note,
called on Squires.
Squires also recognized the
writing and, exhibiting q similar
slip, began Immediately interest.
ing himself in obtaining posi-
ton for Hardwick.
William Al. Mundell, the detec-
tive, who traced the theft OF the
Boynton correspondence to Hard
wick, now holds the brief as do
other persons1 who we're interest
ed in exposing the stolen letter
plot, that Hardwiclx, for months
prior to his discharge BY Boyn-
ton, had acted as a tool for the
Richardson plotters and kept
them informed of the moves Of
their political opponents.
Hardwick freely states that he
disliIed BOynton from the day he
entered his employ as private Sec
rotary and welcomed at all times
an opportunity to injure him. It
has been his contention ever
since his detection as the letter
thief that he had no intention Of
injuring Senator johnson In any
way when he furnished Governor
Richardson with copies Of jBoyn.
toms private correspondence, but
merely wanted to revenge him
self on Boynton.
Believed Richardson Tool.
A significant fact is that Hard.
wick entered Boynton's employ
the same month Governor Rich
ardson was indicted into office.
Another significant fact IL that
Suuires, Governor Richardson's
chief political lieutenant and his
recognized job dispenser, began
seeking & new position Tor Hard
wick few days after he had
been discharged by Boynton.
Although Hardwick becomes
very vague and noncommittal
when questioned on this matter,
he freely admits his employment
had become intolerable long be.
fore he was discharged and that
he was considering terminating
1t himself.
Another significant fact II his
admission he made copies Of let
tiers and kilograms exchanged be-
tween Boynton and Charles +.
Neumiller of stockton, who had
been deposed from the prison board
by Governor Richardson long be-
fore he got q. copy Of as letter
from c. K. McCIatchy to Boyn-
ton containing excerpts Of 4
letter from Senator johnson. It
was the publication Of this letter
in the San Francisco Journal
shortly after 1t had been placed
in Governor Richardson's hands
which revealed the plot
Hardwick says as near as he
can remember he sent to the
governor copies of a half-dozen
letters and kilograms which had
been received by Boynton from
political opponents OF the chief
executive.

Ridley Reply Ignored
At Weekly Meeting
OF Baptist Ministers

Although it was expected there
would be some discussion Of the re-
ply made by the Rev. Caleb Ridley,
pastor OF the Central Baptist
church, to the action OF the Atlanta
Baptist Minister'S conference with
drawing fellowship of the associa-
ton from him, the matter was not
mentioned Monday at the weekly
meeting.
DR.. Ridley replied at a barbecue
at Lakewood. The demand of the
deacons of the Central Baptist
church, calling upon the conference
to furnish the names of DIR. Rid
ley's accusers, did not reach the
floor of, the meeting.
The meeting Monday was in the
nature of a farewell meeting for a
number of Georgia Baptists who will
leave for Stockholm, Sweden, to at
tend the councils Of the World Bap-
fist alliance.
The Rev. T. T. Martin, evangelist,
spoke on religious education, after
which the meeting adjourned to
make an inspection tour of the new
automatic telephone exchange.
1t was intimated the Ridley case
would be postponed indefinitely.

PLANNING
TOBECOME PREMIER
ALFALFA COUNTY

ELBERTON, Ga, June s1S.-Sat
urday afternoon the people of Gilbert
county held one of the most inter
esting and what bids fair to be
one of the most important meetings
ever staged here. The farmers of
the county and business men crowd
ed the courthouse for the mass meet
ing called for the purpose Of formu.
lating a county farm program. All
the business houses in Elberton
closed from $50 to 4:30 o'clock,
usually the busiest hour of the day
on Saturdays, and attended the
meeting.
Talks were made by those men
who took the trip to central and
south Georgia last week, and they
told of the way the boil weevil has
hurt those sections and also told Of
the farm programs that are putting
south Georgia back on it's feet.
Two farm programs we're Unani-
mously adopted by those present
one an emergency program to be
worked on Immediately, and the 9th
er a permanent one to come on later.
The emergency program calls for
the planting Of every acre of feed
crops now that can be put into the
saving Of seed grain, the saving OF
clover seed, and the improvement OF
permanent pastures, also the begin
ming of shipping of sour cream by
those who have the feed.
The permanent farm program, as
adopted, calls for each one-horse
farm, 10 acres in corn, with beans
or peas; acres in cotton; 2 acres OF
alfalfa; acres of oats, followed by
peas or soy beans; 3 acres of wheat:
5 acres OF white Spanish peanuts
sweet potatoes, cane, year-around
garden, permanent pasture, seeded to
bermuda and dallis grass and white
burr, and Japanese clOverS.
Then the COWS, hogs and hens.
One of the big items on the pro-
gram is the adoption of the resolu.
ton to undertake to pledge every
land -owner in the county to plant a
patch of alfalfa during the next
two years. This count. grows alfalfa
well, some farmers getting as high
is planned to make Elbert county
the alfalfa county" of the south.
The slogan will be Alfalfa on every
farm"
Meetings have been scheduled to
be held in the various districts OF
the county every night next week.
The business men have promised 10
get markets for the money crops
adopted, which include cotton, pea
nuts, sour cream, alfalfa, hogs and
poultry products.
Gilbert county has not been hit Sc
hard by the weevil yet, as some OF
her neighbors and the business men
have pledged the farmers to do all
in their power to help them prevent
the deplorable conditions that have
been experienced elsewhere.
