AFTER THE BATTLE
After a bitter political contest, such as Georgia has just passed
through, it is well if the press of the state uses its influence to again
Lring the public mind in accord with the best interests of the state
and its moral and physical development. Relations necessarily nec
essarily become strained, when neighbors and friends radically differ
in their judgment of men and measures in the public mind and at
such times words will be said that may have better been unspoken,
and acts done that may better have been left undone. When the
battle is over and the decision made, the verdict of the majority be
comes the verdict of the people and we agree with the sentiment ex
pressed in the Atlanta Journal, one of the bitterest opponents to the
candidacy of Governor-Elect Hugh M. Dorsey.
; The Journal says:
“Political contests naturally engender heat and sometimes, unfor
tunately, bitterness. But with the rank and file of the people dissen
sion ends at the verdict of the polls; the winners are magnanimous,
the losers are good humored and public interest turns wholesomely
again to work-a-day tasks. .
“So it will be, let us hope, with the campaign which has just clos
ed in Georgia. Words spoken in the zeal of partianship should
have no place in the memory of a people who agree on a hundred
things where they differ on only one and whose highest good depends
on united endeavor. Politics, like the poor, we shall always have
with us. There never will be enough offices to accommodate every
ambition, but there will always be enough elections to give every as
pirant a chance. The candidates who win have their reward, and
those who lose can invariably declare ‘I had rather be right than
President.’ ;
“In this contest the Journal has endeavored to be fair to all
ful politics. Especiélly is this true today of Georgia, whose re
sources must be developed for the common good and whose Demo
cratic strength must be mustered to the full for-the approaching nat
ional campaign. Differ as we may on some issues, we are all to
gether for prosperity. Vote as we may in Tuesday’s primary, we
must all vote as Democrats in the November election.
“In this campaign The Journal has endeavored to be fair to all
«<andidates and to be neutral except toward influenees that are pro
werbially traitorous and avowedly hostile to the Democratic party.
Against such influences we always have been and always will be un
«compromising partisan. We have been comstrained also to warn
‘the public against sinister schemes to impair or destroy the value
of the state road. In so far as those issues pointed the way of duty,
we have spoken as plainly and vigorously as we could, our sole con
arern being with principles, not with personalities.
““The primary over, it will be the duty and, we believe, the gen
erous purpose of all good Georgians to merge their differences and
support the chosen leaders in every effort for the state’s honor and
advancement.” : ;
AN ORDERLY ELECTION YESTERDAY '
Though all day long intense interest was shown in the election
for'Governor, not a single breach of the peace is recorded in Ben Hill
«ounty. The merits of the Australian ballot system are so self-evi
«dent that it should become the fixed policy of the Democratic party
%o hold its primaries in other parts of the state under this system.
“Pottle Making Good Showing,” said an afternoon paper Tues
day. Where? i
“Early Indication Are That Race is Between Harris and Dor
sey,” came over the wires yesterday afternoon.” Yes, far between, as
the finale shows.
We congratulate Mr. Hardman and Mr. Pottle upon their suc
cessful campaign for Mr. Dorsey. Without their valued assistance
it might have been different. Dorsey might have made’ it unani
mous.
In the First District J. W. Overstreet defeated that corporation

THE LEADER-ENTERPRISE AND PRESS. WEDNESDAY. SEPTEMBER 13, 1916.
FALL GADENING IN THE
SOUTH
Wasington, D. C., Sept. 13—
Home gardeners in many sections
of ,the South and Southwest
where crops have been gathered
or are now nearing maturity,
need not reconcile themselves to
the existence of bare or unproduc
tive land from now until next
spring, according to garden
specialists of the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture. With judi
cious choice of crops and loca
tions, they may plant seeds from
now until October or November
and should, as a result, have fall,
nter and spring vegetahles.
The successful fall garden is a
possibility, the Department gar
den specialists say, with nearly
all vegetables grown in spring
and summer, in pr:ictically all
parts of the Southern States, ex
in the more northerly portions of
the region.
In many sections of the South,
tomato plants have succumbed to
the strain of high temperature
and dryness. In some localities
they will live and continue to bear
until fall, but in others they will
not survive. A new crop should
be planted now, and it may be
profitable to try the experiment
of planting both in the open
ground, where the plants are to
remain, and in frames for trans
planting. The frames or beds
should be located in a relatively
cool, shady piace. The same
plan of field and frame planting
may be used for cabbage seed
ings. With this crop promising
results have already been obtain
ed by planting several seeds in a
hill and thinning to one plant. If
the field planting should not sur
vive, however, in some instances,
the grower, it is pointed out, is
protected by having on hand the
frame-grown plants. Ordinarily
the seed planted direct to the
field will produce an earlier crop
than seed planted in a frame and
transplanted.
Among the vegetables which
may be planted at practically any
time during the summer, with
fair assurance of success, are
beans. Bush squash may also be
planted even in the hottest weath
er if they have not been made a
part of the garden at an earlier
season. With the beginning of
August practically the entire list
of ordinary vegetables is open to
the fall gardener for choice.
Beets, pfirsnips, carrots, celery,
sweet corn, radishes, lettuce ‘and
peas may be planted at this time,
many of them in succession crops
at frequent intervals. Later in
the mon:h and during the eatly
part of Sep.ember, kale, spinash,
mustardfi larnips . llards an i
parsley may also be planted.
During September onion sets
should be put out and in October,
and even later, onion seeds may
be planted.
Among the crops of these late
plantings which the Southern
gardener will, find available for
winter use, are beets and the oth
er root crops such as parsnips
and carrots, and kale, collards,
spinach and mustard. Many of
the plants, he will find, may be
carried by slight protection even
into quite cold weather without
suffering damage. To the crops
which will be carried over for de
velopment in the early spring
should be added salsify or oyster
plant, which may be planted
practically any time during the
late summer or early fall.
The following specific directions
for fall planting of certain seeds
in the South have been prepared
by the department’s plant special- ‘
ists:
- BEETS—Beets planted in the
South in August and early Sep
tember will produce a crop for
late fall and early winter use.
Where hand cultivation is to be
given, sow the seed in drills 14
to 18 inches apart, and cover to
the depth of about 1 inch. For
For horse cultivation the rows
should be 21-2 feet apart. As
soon as the plants are well es
tablished, thin them to a stand 2
to 3 inches apart. Give frequent
shallow cultivation. The beets
may be left in the ground during
winter to be pulled when want.
ed.
Varieties recommended: Cros
by’s Egyptian, Bassano, Early
Eclipse and Blood Turnip.
TURNIPS— Turnip seed may
be sown during the latter part of
August and throughout Septem
ber and the first half of October.
Sow turnip seed thickly in rows
15 to 18 inches apart, and when
the plants reach a height of 4 or
5 inches begin thinning, using
the young plants for greens. For
good roots thin the plants to
about 3 inches apart in the row.
Keep the land well cultivated to
CHARACTER IN THE
; HUMAN EYES]
Blue cyes are said to be th6l
weakest.
Wide open eyes are indicative
of rashness.
Side glancing eyes are always
to be distrusted.
Brown eyes are said by occu
lists to be the strongest. ‘
The downcast eye has in all
ages been typical of modesty.
The proper distance between
the eyes is the width of one eye.
People of melancholy tempera
ment rarely have blue eyes.
Eyes with long sharp corners
indicate great discernment and
penetration. !
The white of the eye showing
beneath the iris is indicative of
nobility of character.
When the upper lid covers half
or more of the pupil the indica
tion is of cool deliberation.
Gray eyes turning green in an
ger or cxcitement are indicative
of a choleric temperament.
An eye the upper lid of which.
passes horizontally across the pu
pil indicates mental ability.
Unsteady eyes rapidly jerking
from side to side, are frequently
indicative of an unsettled mind.
~ Eyes placed close together in
the head are said to indicate pet
tiness of disposition, jealousy, and
a turn for fault finding.
Wide open staring eyes in
weak countenances indicate jeal
ousy, bigotry, intolerance and
pertinacity without any firmness.
When the under arch of the
‘upper eyelid is a perfect semi-cir
cle it is indicative of goodness,
‘but also of timidity, sometimes
‘approaching cowardice.
MILLIONS THREATENED
WITH STARVATION
Nanking, China, Al B
One million persons are threat
ened with starvation and several
hundred thousand have been ren
dered homeless,as a result of the
floods which are raging along the
Hwai river in Anhwei.
President Li Yuan-hung has
personally contributéed $lOO,OOO
silver for relief and Parliament
will doubtless make an effort to
appropriate money for the same
purpose. However, the Chinese
government is practically without
funds as a result of the bitter po
litical situation, and Chinese pa
pers say there will be an appall
ing death list from starvation if
the American Red Cross shall not
again come to the relief of the
stricken,
The flooded district is approxi
matély two hundred miles long,
and has an average width of
twenty miles. It is a flat plain
given over largely to wheat cul
tivation.

s
keep down the weeds and to
leave the surface loose and fri
able. In a small garden, cultiva
tion with a hand cultivator is the
most practicable. Turnips may
be left in the ground until need
ed for the table, or may be pulled
as soon as they are mature, and
stored in a cellar or buried in
banks or pits. The varieties of
turnips commonly grown in the
South are Purple Top Globe,
White Globe, Seven Tops, White
Milan, and Yellow Aberdeen.
- COLLARDS—CoIIards can be
grown in the same way as out
lined for turnips.
KALE—KaIe can be grown in
the open throughout the winter in
practically all seasons of the
South. Sow the seed in Septem
ber and October in drills 18 in
ches apart for hand cultivation,
and 30 inches for horse cultiva
tion. As soon as the plants reach
a-height of 4or 5 inches they
should be thinned. = The plants
pulled may be used for greens.
The cultivation for kale should be
the same as for turnips.
Dwarf Curdled, Tall Scotch,
and Siberian are varieties recom
mended.
SPlNACH—Spinach is one of
the best crops grown for greens
and should be found in every
home garden. It can be grown
in the open during the autumn
and winter in all sections seuth
of Norfolk, Va. Sow the seed in
the latter part of August, in Sep
tember, or October, in drills-15 to°
18 inches apart at the rate of one
ounce to 100 feet of row. When
the plants begin to crbwd in the
row they should be thinned. The
larger plants are selected first,
and the smaller or later ones are
thus given room to develop.
