I you are worthy of success, you will show It now. Every man that faces his obligations earnestly and honestly this fall need have no fear of ultimately winning out, with his own self-respect and that of his neighbors, fully preserved. It is a time for us all to “tote fair” ’with our creditors. We may not be able to pay all our obligations, but we can show a willing spirit and let our creditors realize that we do not propose to • lie recreant to their confidence and trust in us. The business world needs today, more than any thing else, confidence in each other. When confidence is destroyed, untold distress comes upon all men, and those that need help are the ones to suffer most. By all means do not let the men with whom you have •been dealing lose confidence in your integrity and honesty. If you do, you will suffer more than they will. You may secure a seeming temporary advan tage, hut you can rest assured you will pay dearly for it. The thing for us all to do is to pay as much us pos sible on our debts. This will restore confidence all round. If we do not pay the business men, our credit with them is gone, and they cannot pay tiie whole saler, hence they cannot get credit from the whole sale houses. The merchant cannot credit farmers because his credit it cut off with the wholesale mer chant. Enable the retail merchant to pay some on his debts and you will enable him to get credit with the wholesalers and then he will be in position to ex tend credit. As we said before, this fall will test our people. We fwd sure that our people are too wise and too provident to be careless about their obligations. THE 13 COMMANDMENT Featuring ETHEL CLAYTON THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. AUGUST 18thAND 19th THE STRAND THE AT R E Ninth Georgia Press Meeting They tell us that Winderites are preparing to put the big pot in the little ‘un when the 9th district edi tors meet there the 2nd of Septeiul>er.—Commerce News. O Sweet Potatoes The News believes the sweet potato is destined to become a great money crop in Georgia. Recently the county agent of Washington county made a trip out west, and while there he conducted an inquiry as to how Georgia sweet potatoes were liked in those Mat. s. He found them very popular and everybody liked them when they could get them properly cured. He found that the grocers und restaurants couldn't get them throughout the year, and right often the po tatoes reached them in bad condition, frost-bitten or spoiled. Now we here in Georgia know how unfit for food a spoiled or frost-bitten potato is, and we cannot blame other sections for refusing to buy potatoes that are not sound. It is up to us to see to it that our sweet potatoes reach their destination in perfectly sound condition. It seems that the kiln-drying meth od is the only feasible way by which potatoes can he kept, and the attention of the potato growers should be centered upon this method of curiug their product. Another thiug we should bear in mind is that large sections of the United States know absolutely noth ing about the Georgia yam as a food product. Some effort should be made to introduce the sweet potato in those sections and in this way create a demand for them. We are glad to note that the farmers of Washington county are preparing to send two women demonstrators to the middle west to show those peo ple how to cook sweet potatoes and to prove to them tiie value of the Georgia yam as a food product. The farmers of Barrow county should get Interested in this business. Sweet potatoes offer a big opportunity to the farmers all over the state and if we can get them before the people over the north and west and can deliver them to those sections in goood condition, the farmers of Georgia will have a product that will readily solve tiie boll weevil problem.
