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.

“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

Ashburn, Ga., March 17.
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.

There is general rejoicing over

it is still contended that tlx* city
will pay entirely too much for tin

board of arbitration.
'To authorize the bonds it wa

Wholesale grocers, turpentine op
