POP-CORN CROP VALUABLE
Many years ago on every farm in the country and
on many garden spots in the cities there was planted
a few hills of pop-corn from which much pleasure
was. had during the winter months by the family
gathering around the hearthside in the evenings and
popping corn wi‘h all the children joining in with
their spoonful of sqlt and enjoying the toothsome
delicasies of the beautiful white meat. Those days
have passed and it is seldom pop-corn is seen on sale
in the stores or found in the homes of people. In
' gome sections of the state small quantities of pop
corn is raised and when it is sold a good price is re
ceived for it. The present market price is 12 cents a
pound which is equal to $ 6.00 the bushel. While
there is no great demand for poji-corn, yet it could
be made profitable to every farmer to plant a small
spot in pop-corn for which he would find a ready
market and a profitable price every year.
It is worth thinking of fo* the new year and the
cultivation of the habit of eating pop-corn will grow
on the people just as will the habit of raising pop
corn grow on the farmer who produces it
THE DRUG PEDDLER
The drug peddler is doing more harm towards
tearing down society and creating criminals than is
the “bootlegger" or any other form of corrupting
morals.
In Jersey City, (be drug peddlers have entered the
public schools of that city, peddling drugs to the
school children which has resulted in making many
victims of young children in their ’teens to the habit.
Tlie juvenile courts have undertaken to break up the
traffic, but it has grown to an alarming stage and
developments have been brought out showing that
these peddlers have engaged and have the support of
the older children in school to encourage the habit
and to sell to the children regardless of their tender
age.
The illiait traffic in the habit-forming drugs is one
of the most horrible to imagine and there are more
crimes committed traceable directly to the drug ad
dict than from the use of whiskey or any ■ other
source. It is a problem which must be met by those
In authority, and if need he the good citizens of all
communities must join with the officials in aiding to
stamp out the sale and use of the deadly drug.
The narcotic laws should be rigidly enforced and
just as much activities should be displayed by the
government, state and municipal officials as there is
being shown in the enforcement of the prohibition
law. There is greater danger lurking in the sale of
drugs than there is in the sale of whiskey. If pos
sible, the results of debauchery, crime and low of '
good citizenship are greater from the illicit sale and
use of drugs than from the sale and use of whiskey.
The condition is alarming and strict attention should
be given tq the drug addict as well as to the drug ;
peddler. > v
SWEET POTATO SYRUP
The sweet potato has grown to be one of the most
valuable crops of food products. Until recent years,
the sweet potato was not known in the eastern and
western states, but now it is one of the delicasies of
the season in New York, Cincinnati, Chicago .and
other points throughout the country. Housing and
proper curing methods has enable the growers to
ship them in perfect preservation for use during all
seasons of the year. But there has been discovered
another demand for the sweet potato which promises
to increase its value in a wonderful degree. The
department of agriculture he* announced that syrup
made from the Georgia yam is among the best of
sweet syrup products. It is a new proposition into
which to convert the sweet potato and it is said that
the syrup is even better than that of the maple or
that wh'ch is produced from corn. Chemists have
discovered that by mashing and refining the raw
product, this syrup may be produced and the finished
product is economical to use-fomaking candies, sucir
as caramels and taffies.
If the sweet potato can be used as successfully as
it appears flow for such purpose, it will soon become
one of the most important and well paying indus
tries the fanner can engage in. It is worth investi
gating and trying out and, if the findings of the ag
ricultural department are stable—then much cau be
expected from the increased growth and development
of this crop.
Make “Dollar Day," a saving day.
The merchants of Athens will offer the greatest
bargains on "Dollar Day”, Saturday, November 3, ever
offered in this section.
“Trade Month” is growing on the people and from
this entire section, the Athens merchants will receive
a trade they have never reached before.
The merchants are together on the “Trade Month"
preposition which is creating much interest through
out this section.
The Broad street bond election is one of the most
important this city has ever held. Every voter in
Athens should cast his ballot for the bonds.
North Carolina is enthused over higher education.
A new law building costing $160,000 has just been
opened at the university in the state. If Georgia
would appropriate fifty per cent of the amount as its
appropriated by North Carolina, our higher educa
tional institutions would grow and prosper.
