5,M0 BUSHELS POTATOES
MADE ON TWENTY ACRES
Albany Man Demonstrates
Folly of Planting All
Cotton Crop.
This year Mr. B. M. Wilson, on
his Fernland Farms, a mile west
of the city, has planted twenty!
acres or more in sweet potatoes, 1
and he is now gathering a crop
of potatoes of commercial propor
tions.
He chose the yellow Yam va
riety, and his potatoes will class
as choice and bring the top of
the market wherever they are of- j
sered.
A conservative estimate of his j
yield, based upon the portion of
the crop already gathered, ex- i
ceeds 200 bushels per acre, and
the actual yield will probably be
nearer 250 bushels per acre. It
seems to be a safe calculation
that he will have not less than
5,000 bushels of choice yams.
He is sacking for shipment
1,000 bushels for which he is to
receive 65 cents per bushel f. o.
b. Albany. The larger portion
of his crop he will probably bank,
and after Christmas or at any
time next spring every bushel of
them will be as good for a dollar,
even in the local market, as a
ginger cake with persimmon
beer on the side ever was for a
dime at an old-fashioned county
fair.
Mr. Wilson has certainly dem
onstrated the fact that growing
sweet potatoes on a commercial
scale is worth while. His twenty
acres of sweet potatoes will prove
to be the most profitable part of j
his farm this year.
The supply of sweet potatoes
is never equal to the demand in
the spring, even here in the sec
tion where they can be grown
so profitably, and the whole
country is an open market for
them. There is, therefore, hut
little danger of over-production,
and the grower who banks his
crop and holds it for the spring
market will realize the best
prices.—Albany Herald.
EX-SLAVE, NOW RICH j
BACK AT OLD HOME;
Rome, Ga., Nov. 21.—Life on 1
I the South Dakota plains has been
i successful and profitable for
j George Daniel, an ex-slave, and
;he has returned to Floyd county
after an absence of 47 years,
j Shortly after the close of the
Civil war, Daniel went West. He
drifted from one place to another
and eventually settled at White, :
,S. Dak. He got in right and
j made money.
Often the negro’s thoughts
wandered back to the old “befo’
de war” days, to the old planta-l
tion, to the watermelon on the
j vine and to possums and persim-1
| mons. He decided to give up his
life on the prairies and come
back to Georgia. He and his two
’ sons have just arrived. They are
going to have a plantation of
I their own. George is probably
the richest negro in the county.
Georgia and Com.
Maj. W. L. Glessner, who for
twenty years was the effective
land and industrial agent of the
Georgia and Florida and the Geor
gia Southern and Florida rail
ways, is engaged in developing a
large tract at St. George, Charl
ton county. The Major in setting
out a large pecan orchard, and is
! pleased with St. George and the
prospects there.
The Major, talking about corn,
says, ‘‘The cotton-growing Sta-
I tes were never considered as a
| corn-growing section, but in
11910 the acreage in corn alone
in Georgia was greater than that
of all the New England States,
New York, New Jersey and
Pennsylvania combined. Georgia
now stands seconds in the list of
totton-growing States. Before
the war comparatively very lit
cle corn was shipped from the
North to the South, but after the
war, when the price of cotton
was high, the acreage was put in
cotton, and hay and com and
meat were bought. The low
average yield of corn in the
South is because of the negro
tenant and negro cropper. He
kicks at even raising enough for
| his mule. He wants all cotton.” ,

| GETS 5 YEARS FOR
| FRAUD ON NEGROES
I 1
1 Rome, Ga., Nov. 21.—Charged
with defrauding a number of old
negroes and descendants of ex
slaves on promises that the gov
ernment would give them pen
sions, Turner Keaton was found
guilty in the United States court
here and sentenced to five years
in the Federal penitentiary at!
: Atlanta.
Keaton went to a number of
Rome negroes with his pension
scheme and extracted S3OO or
S4OO from them. He represented
to them that he was an agent of
the government and for the sum '
of $1 would successfully ma-j
neuver a claim for a pension for
each of them. The plan appear
ed like milk and honey for nearly
every negro he approached. One
old darkey suspected the scheme
was crooked and told the officers.
Keaton’s arrest followed.

William E. Gay, who formerly
held an editorship with a New
York daily, tells this tale of a
young friend of his named Jack,
also of the staff, during the cub
days. On the editor's desk was
a framed motto saying ‘‘Be ac
curate in all things.”
One day when sent out to cover
a speech Jack turned in his copy
reading with this statement in
the lead: ‘‘Three hundred and
ninety-nine eyes were fixed on
■ the speaker.”
The editor tore his hair and
haled the young man before him.
j “Sir,” he demanded, ‘‘why in
1 the name of all that’s holy did
you put that absolutely foolish
statement in your copy?”
1 Never blinking an eye, Jack
! replied:
‘‘Why, Mr. Gay, there was an
old man in the audience with
only one eye.”
Jack is now an editor himself
in San Francisco.
