The Macon News, commenting
on .the reception tendered Gov.
Joo Terrell by tho people of the
state at Macon last Monday, ha:
tl.o following to say of our popu¬
lar governor:
“Gov. Terrel! has been given an
ovation ns becomes the dignity of
fiis office, and in accord with the
respect and .esteem in which he is
held by all Georgians. He is one
of the most popular executives
Georgia has ever had, and the
people are always pleased when
he leaves his office to attend their
pxhibitii m which reveal the mag¬
nitude and superiority of the re¬
sources of the state, His atten-
dance on the fairs shows (hat lie
Jins an interest in the a; ricultur-
ul and industiiftl welfare of the
ptnta over which he reigns with
wisdom, justjee and moderation,
and demonstrates that bo takes
deep concern in all that fiotlirjb
tiles to tho contentment and pros-
peri ty of tho people.
“\Ve take occasion hero to add
our voice to the chorus which
swells over the state in praise of
Gov. Terrell’s first \ ear of wise,
prudent and economical adminis¬
tration. ii>: iias ably and faith¬
fully administered tho affairs of
the stale, and is doing his part to
keep Georgia ahead in the proces¬
sion of industrial life, and in the
front rank of the moving column
of industrial growth and develop¬
ment. Under his guidance Geor¬
gia is keeping stop wjth the now
pom merely 1 and agricultural ex¬
pansion. Governor Terre!I has
effected numerous accomplish
jnents of progress. The good fruits
pf his administration have been
many. The first year of Governor
Terrell’s administration has been
marked by a reduction of tlm rate
of taxation: by the enactment of
the franchise tax act; the uni¬
form text book law, and other
measures of public importance.
“It is o ir conviction that as
long as Governor Joseph it. Tur-
j'oll holds the reins of slate gov¬
ernment. Georgia will never go
backward, It is our belief and
hope that he will he re-elected
next year without opposition, and
tyill gervfitho state through the
corning three years with the same
ability, fidelity it fid progroHsiv ( 4 *

fl IH | oqr county entirely out

Sweet Potatoes.
Sweet potatoes should be gathered
before the cold is severe enough to
Injure them. They should always ba
dug when tbe soil is dry and the day
clear. It Is better to dig them In the
forenoon, go that they may have th»
w*rm sun In which to dray out. The
vin - s rAould be cut or dragged off with
a plow and taken out of tho way, so

When it is desired to store thorn

PP rC3 ^ a wr.fm, dry sheltered place
and kept there far 4 week or two,
that the moisture freea the tubers
may be absorbed.
There are several methods for sav¬
ing them. Sometimes they are stored
away in a warm, dry cellar. In some
places .storehouses are built Ipr theni,
tie walls being njade double am} rilled
with sawdust or earth. Tn this store
house the potatoes are placer! in shallb-x
bins or boxes. Sometimes a potato
heap is made in the open air in tho
following manner: -t considerable
space is dug out to tide hard ejay a-n-d
then leveled, and then 'covered witi)
corn stalks or straw. An up
right pole is placed in ;he middle and
the potatoes heaped around this in
pyramidal shape. Seme take 4 strips ol
plank, and making a long box 4x1
Inches, put it upright and heap the
potatoes around that. This box'should
have holes bored in at convenient dis*
tances for ventilation. The object ol
thus placing the pole or box is to g*iv«
them ventilation, so aa to proven)
sweating. In extreme cold pr rainy
spells this opening should be Closed.
When the potatoes have been heaped,
they should be covered with stalks
or straw overlaid with with earth foi
