On April Ist. the Breeze published
an article declaring that Hon. W. G.
Brantly was n t a prospective
gubernatorial candidate, verified by
his own statement. Since then nearly
every paper published in Georgia has
made uotice of the fact. This goes
to show that Mr. Brantly and the
the Bieeze are widely known and when
they speak everything stops to listen.

It is now proposed that a county
be formed to be composed of parts
taken from Ware, Pierce and Appling
counties and that it be named “Brant,

to follow would l*e the naming of all !
boy babies born in the new county i
“Brantley,” and if the gender hap
pens to be uusmted fOrthe name there
may be trouble in that neck of the

Profitable Yield on One Acre.
Kirkland, Ga., April I—Mr.1 —Mr. E.
L. Tanner adviser the farmers to
plant sweet potatoes as the most
profitable corp. We all know that
Mr, Tanner has not made any
sweet potatoes in several years and
he has forgotten what it takes to
produce one hundred Bushels of
sweet potatoes.
My suggestion to the southern
farmer is that the largest profit to
he obtained from one acre is plant
in corn, ground-peas, velvet beans
and old speckle field peas, and see
if it will not produce a larger profit
than if planted in sweet potatoes.
Plant one agre of land in the
produces mentioned above as fol
lows : Plant corn in every other
row, velvet beans in every fourth
row, and the remainder of rows In
ground-peas. Use one thousand
pounds of any high grade fetilizer
you please, and when you lav-bv
your :orn, beans and ground-peas
sow your peas over your land and
sweep them in. Prepare and cul
tivate see if it will not
pay better than if planted in sweet
potatoes. One acre with favorable
circumstances will yield 50 bushels
ol corn, which you can easily get
seventy-five cents for, and which
amounts $37.50, the ground-peas
will fatten 800 pounds of pork, for
which you can get' six cents per ib
aud the beans, peas-vines, shucks,
and grass will fatten 1000 pounds
of beef, for which you can get e j
cents per pound. Thus we have
50 bushels corn 37.50.
800 lbs pork 48.00
1000 lbs beef 55.00
Total 5140.50.
From this fertilizers SIO.OO
Expense cultivation 15.00
Hogs and Cattle 40.00
Expense of se .d 4.00
Total 69.00
Leaving clear profit $71.50.
Besides leaving the land in bet
ter condition for thejicxt crop than
if planted in sweet potatoes.
\\ ould he glad to hear from any
other farmer on this subject through
the Breeze. A farmer friend.

with a sermon by Rev. R. A.
Brown, of Waycross, Ga. About
twelve ministers and fifteen ruling
elders are present, and a 1 irge
amount of business was dispatched.
The report of Blackshear Institute
shows that the past year has been a
most successful one, about SBOOO.OO

ings. and work will commence at
once. Davidson Colledge was
ably represented by Mr. Gillespie,
whose address was replete with
good things. Mr. R. 11. Clay
Chairman of the Home Mission
Committee tendered his resigna
tion which- was accepted and C. C.
Cason was elected to fill the vacan

progress during the past year, with
few exceptions.
The musical recital on Wednes
day evening was very creditable and
a tine showing for the Institute.
The Presbytery communion was
celebrated w on Tuesday evening
after an able sermon by Rev. C. C.
Cason Valdosta.
Special mention should be made
of the sermons by the ministers in

Big Fire at Nashville, Ga.
The news came last Monday
night, by telephone, of a disastrous
fire in Nashville, Berrien county,
in which some $50,000 or $60,000
worth of property was destroyed.
We learn that the Shaw building,
the Bullard building and the Patter
son building, not quite complete,
besides some wooden offices were
among the loss. In the conflagra
tion the Masonic lodge was destroy
ed. This seems to be a severe loss
on a little place, but it is hoped the
property is insured and the owners
are only partial losers. Nashville
has a host of hustling people for a
small town, and the losses recorded
will perhaps cause better buildings
to be erected and better prepara
tions to be made for protection
against fires. We sincerely hope
the Herald was not injured.
Later Losses.
