A SWEET POTATO YEAR.
For some reason, appreciated if
not understood, there has been an
abundance of sweet potatoes this
year. Farmers who have never
“made a success raising sweet pota¬
toes" have several hills this year and
they are os fine as have ever been
produced in Georgia. Tjtrge yields
have been reported from various
sections of the State, but Sumter
county seems to wear the blue rib¬
bon at 420 bushels produced on one
acre. The crop was planted on April
22nd by C. E. and W. E. Williams
and by the employment of modern
scientific methods of potato culture
the gross proceeds amounted to $300
per acre. Six hundred pounds of
fertilizers were used and the land
was plowed to a depth of 14 inches,
Many of the potatoes weigh as much
as seven pounds, and the entire crop
is of high quality.
In Spalding county the yield of
sweet potatoes has been very grati
fying as was evident at the Griffin
Spalding County Fair and it is pleas
Ing to note that potatoes will be
given much attention next year.

WAGES OF NEGLIGENCE.
The engineer on Central of Geor¬
gia passenger train No. 21. leaving
Columbus for Macon at 1:16 o’clock
Monday afternoon had an order to
wait at Muscogee junction, four
miles from Columbus, for the car¬
nival extra until 1:85 .o’clock. Fail¬
ure to observe this order caused the
wreck two miles out from Muscogee
junction at 1:26 o’clock, as a result
of which a number of persons lost
their lives and 50 were injured. It
Is probable that the passenger train
engineer who “overlooked" the order
will also die of injuries sustained be¬
cause of his negligence. The rules
of railway companies hold the en¬
gineer and conductor equally respon¬
sible for the safe running of nil
trains and R is a matter of wonder
that when one forgets or “overlooks”
a train order both invariably do, so
with the usual fatal result.
Although it occurred at 1:26 o’clock
p. m. nows of the wreck was not pub.
lished in any afternoon newspaper
that has reached the News nnd Sun
office, it being a well known and fre¬
quently demonstrate,! fact that any¬
thing has to happen mighty early in
‘the day to find its way into’ the
boastful Atlahta papers. It does
seem, however, that the Columbus
papers, six miles distant, might have
heard the new* by accident, for in
all probability it was known to ev
erytoody else in ten miles of the
wreck in leas than an hour.
vust additional evidence of * tho
New* and Sun’s contention that Gcor

It was unkind of the Tifton Ga
zetto to refer to the fact that we got
the Second and Third congressional
district* mixed soon after our vi*it
to the State Fair. We allowed the
Savannah Press to lead us Into the
error, but stick to our assertion tfiat
there will be some running in the
Third diMriet, even if Emmett Shaw
does deckle to enter the contest with

Eat Onions and Live Long.
(Utica Sunday Globe.)
Eight person* out of every ten eat
too much, and thereby die too early.
Nine person* out of evry ten eat too
much meat, and thereby. suffer in
health and pocket.
And nowadays nine person* out of
every ten—for financial if not stom¬
achic reason*—are searching for a
substitute for meat. The substitute
is—onion*.
Regular onion eaters rarely if ever
fall 111 from infectious diseases, and
they are Ringularly immune from
practically all ailments.
Onion*, too, are a grand specific
for the eompdexiom. They should
l*e boiled whole in milk—drink the
latter—or steamed, and eaten with
bread and butter and cheese. Then
they make a satisfying nnd nutriti¬
ous meal, on which you can do brain
work or manual labor. Try onions!
The taste and aftersmell? A mouth¬
ful of hot coffee takes away both.

According to, the Albany Herald,
the Republican party is madly in

A “Pro-pietic” Affair.
(Raleigh News and Observer.)
Referring to the Republican
gathering in Raleigh on Wednesday
of this week the Winston-Salem
Journal expressed the view that it
would not be so much of an “anti
Demorratic’’ as a “pro-pietic” affair,
and continues: “Ex-President Taft
once let it he understood that he
looked upon the average Republican
leader of North Carolina as a vic¬
tim of the disease known in the
world of science as 'pietus.' And
Im have had no reason to believe that

(Senoia Enterprise-Ga zette.)

remarked that he never could bear
to look at a well turned ankle, and

FIRST SILVER WEDDING.
It We* Ai-rsngsd br Hugos* C»p«t,
Kina *f Franss, In 937.
The fashion of silver wedding* dale*
back to tl*e reign of Hugues Capet,
king of France, iu 987. Once a*
Hugue* was arranging hi* uncle’s af¬
fairs he found on one of tbe estates
n servant who had grown gray In tho
service of hi* relative. Ou the farm
with this old man was also a serving
woman, who was as old as he and
also unmarried, who hud been the most
devoted and hardworking of the wom¬
en servant* of the king* uncle. When
the king heart! these praises of the two
he ordered them to ho brought lie fore
hint and said to the woman:
“Your service I* great, greater than
tbi* man’s, whose services were great
enough, for the woman always And*
work nnd obedience harder than a
man, and therefore I will give you a
rewind. A1 your age 1 know of none
belter than a dowry and a husband.
The dowry Is here—thla farm from
this time forth belongs to you. If this
man who has worked with you five
and twenty years Is willing to marry
you then the husband is ready.”
"Your majesty,'’ stuttered tho old
peuHuut confusedly, “how l* It possi¬
ble that we should marry, having al¬
ready silver hairs?"
"Then It sliull be a sliver wedding,”
answered the king, "and here 1 give
you a wedding ring," drawing a cost¬
ly ring from his huger and placing the
hands of the thankful old people to¬
gether. '

This soon became known nil over
France and raised such enthusiasm
that It becatuo h fusbhm after twenty
five year* of married life to celebrate
it silver wedding.
