THE HUMBLE PEANUT. In the appeal of the committee appointed by the Waycross con vention of tin 1 sea island cotton growers, printed in The Tele graph yesterday, the advice was given to “produce liberally of ine three 1 ’’s peas, peanuts and pigs.” For some time the farmers of ic South have Iteen hearing a ;■ -at deal about the growing of corn and cotton and the raising of peas. But o£the )x>anut les been heard. The I’nitod States Agricultural Department Ims issued a bulletin that give a vast amount of information r*- warding its possibilities. Accord ing to this authority it is esti m ited that the yield of a careful ly tended acre of peanuts is a ton vine, worth from .S4O to S7O. Placing the cost of cultivation at ir .in sl2 to .S2O, the net income , an such an acre would he iron. to s4b. This last figure is somewhat above the presen average net profit, but is easily ainable under methods of cul tivation which have been thor oughly proved and need only u idespraed appplieation. The variety of uses which may he made of peanut makes it a 'valuable crop and it will be well if the advice of the committee is followed to as great an extent a possible. The value of the com orcial peanut crop of the Uni t (1 States is nearly $15,000,000. Macon Telegraph. C YS GOV. WILSON SHOULD BE NAMED Savannah, (la.. March 18. “A careful diagnosis of the pres ent temper of the people clearly indicates that, if an election 'be Ii id tomorrow, a democratic candidate regarded by the peo ple as less progressive than Pres iueiit Taft would be defeated, and that a candidate generally recognised as being more pro gressive, more liberal, more radical, if you like, than Presi dent Taft, would almost assured ly win.” So declared Colonel George H trvev. of New V>rk. in regard to the next pi esiuentjal campaign, in the concluding address at the ninety-ninth annual banquet of the Hibernian Society here. Then he said: “Let the apportionment of re sponsibilities be even. The we: is furnished the party, as well a- the opposition, with the ma ,i »rity, though not the greatest, of its issues. The south is to en force harmony and amalgama tion. The Fast presents the man, W oodrow Wilson, the highly Americanized Scotch-Irishman, descended from Ohio, i*orn in Virginia. developed in Maryland, n .ivied in Georgia and now de livering from piHitical tionduge the state of New Jersey.

Clever work on the part of Ash burn and Turner county officials in Transfering three negroes from the county jail here to Al bany late yesterday afternoon broke into the plans of an angry crowd of white men. who had lain around the jail all day with he apparent intention of de manding and lynching one of the negroes during the night. One nf the negroes was arrested Tuesday and placed in the county ail on a charge of having writ er) an insulting letter to the laughter of a white farmer liv ug near here. The negro was n the employment of the farmer and dropped the letter in the mail box Tuesday morning. He autioned the girl against letting .er father and brother know of lie letter as he would have to .ill them if they discovered it. ! lie negro evidently anticipated irouble, left his work in the field - uosday morning, but was locat 'd and captured later in the day. Mi* would.hate been lynched im mediately but for the timely sug gestion of one or two of his cap irs that in all probability the letter was written by one of his enemies who wanted to get rid of him. Two other negroes were placed m jail Wednesday charged with >rging the letter. In the meail me stronger evidence showed 1 against the negro who w r as avM arrested and some talk of a j'i celling was heard on the streets \\ * inesday afternoon. A strong guard was stationed around the lii Wednesday night and was cut to the test about 1 o’clock Thursday morning when a band of twentyVu* twenty-five men ap proached the jail and demanded ’le negro. At the point of Win • chester rifles they were refused admittance to the jail. A short while after failing to get the prisoner they left the city. I hey were evidently gathering >'en and arms yesterday when diciai hurriedly despatched the Muve negroes to the Albany jail. No further trouble is expected.
