Concerning Sweet Potatoes.
Bkrzelia, Ga., Oct., 14 1895.
Messrs. Editors.
Dear Sir:—E nclosed find letter
which explains itself. I send it to
you for publication if you see fit, think¬
ing it would be of interest and inform¬
ation to farmers in general.
Yours Tiuly,
M. I. Branch.
Experiment, Ga., Oct. 10th, 1895.
Mr. M. 1. Branch,
Berzelia, Ga.,
Dear Sir:—Replying to your tuquirl
of Stii iiuureseed io Director Redding
concerning Sweet Potatoes. 1 beg to
advise that I strongly urge not digging
at present. If you do, you will be al¬
most certain to lose your crop or the
greater part of it, and in addition if
your crop in any degree resembles
ours, you will get precious few pota¬
toes for your trouble.
The past month’s drouth has so set
hack potatoes all over the State that
they have made much less growth up
to this time than in a normal season.
Nevertheless they have still abundant
time to grow.to quite a good size with
you before a killing frost comes, and a
“second growth” as early as this ir
much less likely to injure them than
premature digging.
Suppose you take up a few bushels
and compare both the yield and keep¬
ing capacity with those dug a month
later? we will do the same aud com¬
pare notes later on.
If you are as successful a potato rai¬
ser as you are a melon grower your
crop ought to be a good one.
Sincerely yours,
II. N. Starnes,
Horticulturist.
Mrs, Ballington Booth says of the
new woman:
“The new woman in the newspaper
of the stage doesn’t amount to any
declared Mrs. Booth. The
new woman is a mock man. The true
woman is one that stands by the side of
tnaD. The present new woman is loo
niaunish. Tenderness is unknown to
her. She does not love children, and
does not go out to bless and help
She speaks slightingly of mar¬
riage and home; she speaks slightingly
of teligion, and goes forth to find a re¬
ligion of her own.
“Let me be understood. I am not
throwing stones at the wearers of the
bloomers. This mock man is inconsis
tent. She only takes a part of man’s
dreg*. She should cutoff the high
heels that cripple her toes. I would
take her clothes and make them over

age of my friends of Taliaferro

would be pleased to wait on

Respectfully,
Julian Richards.
A country editor as a rule, is not the
man to put up the baby face anti yell
for sympathy, but in these piping times
of peace, when not even a dog tight
breaks the dull monotony of weary days
and he writes industriously against
space to make eight or ten columns of
brevier, when there is really nothing
to write aboutjjand news is scarcer than
snow balls in July, he is really deserv¬
ing of pity. If the people of the town
would assist him a little in the matter
by furnishing him items of news, he
would be able to give them a much
better paper, aud his job would be e
much happier oue.
The puzzle editor of the Rochelle
.Solid South serves hisreadets with this
original problem:
“We will send the Solid South one
year free to the first three persons who
will solve the following correctly and
prove that they are right:
“If your mother was my mother’s
sr’s sister’s aunt, what relation would
your nephaw be be to my elder broth¬
er’s first cousin’s son-in-law.

Was there ever a time when bond¬

never has been a time in the past when
the people allowed them to regulate

not play falsely, and rob the masses,
but the time will come, when money
