From The Atlanta Journal.
Among the divers Inequities and dangers of the Kord-
ney tariff hill fe-.v would work so grave an injustice upon
productive interests as the proposed imp-rt duty ot fifty
dollars a toil on potash, iliat vital necessity of Southern ag
id-culture.
l or the last quarter of a century potash ht-s been on the
thousand to one bet that no fraterlty in existence would I "free” list. Importance of the farmer’s proc*.Ting it as
-c untenance such action rs that which, has been credited | as possible was recognized by even such n-.torioui
lo the various localities.
The way for the rganization* falling under suspicion to
cope with the situiu'.n is to see to it that every effort i»
extended to apprehend ihc wanton vie lators of law and
we know of oils instance in which a threatening party
who wrote a letter, declaring himself the high and only
in a prominent order, was not only not an officer, but
was not even a member and knew n, thing of th - tenet:
or purposes. In a qi3-?t manner he was trailed down rn.i
couiteously informed that as he proposed to measure so
it would be measured to him.
In these times of r urest the various fraternities, thi
ols, churches and other organizations should do then
ut.no3l to stabilize conditions and help rottle the affairs
which perplex and vex mankind. It is safe to say that
all of them, without exception, arc bending every effort
in this direction and they will eventually prove a mighty^
t vie in this undertaking.
Two Awful Tragedies
I j) in North Carolina a drunken husband took a knife
and butchered his wife when she sought to have dim
conn in to supper. The awful crime was prepotinted
while the wife's mother looked on and wh -a some one
cried out to the murder that he had killed his wife she
rallied mil exclaimed, ",\v lie hasn't" and died.
.North t arclina papers have taken up the utterance and
written beauti) 1 theses on the dying words of the faith
ful woman, and to add to the grimness of the situation
the wile's mother took flowers from U10 grave of the
victim and carried them to t e cell of the mm lt.rer.
Ni amount of sentimental expressions, no human power,
regardless of its source, can ever ameliorate the conditions
surrounding the horrible crime, which will cast a shadow-
over the community for years to come. The vengeance
cf the law and the uneasy conscience of the man can
never tuidcnc for t'e crime.
There is but one way for North Carolina to atone for
the atrociousness of such ads ami that is to get after the
criminals who make and sell the liquor that causes such
crimes. It is generally understood In many sections of
tse Tar (feel state that public opinion tolerates the open
vitiation of t.ie state and federal laws.
The women of North Carolina and Its educators »r-*
its only hope. If the good women of that state will rise
up and make a battle cry of that dying woman's words
they can drive out the-Illegal manufacture and sale of
whiskey from With Carolina cud save the lives of a
thousand ofther women in the years to come, to say nothing
of the living death that tens of thousands of them must
continue to experience The schools are the next lever
by which this work can be accomplished.
But while we excoriate North t\irol)na there is also
something of similar nature that we could talk about in
Georgia. except for the fact that it appears that the parti-
culur ci.se we have in mind is one in which we find our
selves begging for words t. describe. Reference Is made
lo the horrible tragedy occuring near Albany where two
little children were i hot to death.
How uii} body in the w ide, w ide world could ever bring
theinselvc-, to the point of inflicting s*c!i a crime against
humanity is h'yum! c million unless it was the action of
a disordered brain. The mystery of it will perhaps re
main forever clouded, but it ought to he cleared up soon
er or later and cCery community that has such a terror
| Instruments of high “protecparticulur favoritism as t t
Dingley and the Payne-Aldricli acts. To add unneces
sarily to the cost cf so essential a crop as cotton struck
oven the Oid Guard of theRepublican paity as unfair and
unwise. But now come the new spoilsmen, an-huugereu
by eight years of banishment f;--m power, proposing to
ievy 011 American agriculture a tax of ten million dollar
a year to the cud that a small group of potato producer
may llorisb in a luxuriance of gain.
Ti.e brunt of this burden would be borne by the South
east, and especially by Georgia and the Caroliuas. These
three states consult®: it - re of the fertilizer of which po.
ta : is an essential ingred’ont than do nil the others com-
bind. Upon those three then would he leaded the bulk
of the ten million tax leved for the “protection’ of that
infant" industry which produces not more than one-third
1 the ],- lash t ie country requires. It was said during
.he day." of Kith orisnt that every German civilian w as
compelled to bear two or more soldiers -cn his back . Ite-
publican tariff-makers-now propose, with an arbitrariness
smacking strongly of Portsduin, that Southern farmers
■•all carry upon THEIR backs the American FNtasli tnul,
France stands prepared to sell ns potash at a price that
leaves the farmer a fair margin of profit for investment
;.mi labor, and s-j too, does Germany. Rut the Fordney
bill, with an auspicious eye for the potash "infant” along
with other fav. rites of the G. O. P„ intervenes and says,
That will never do; fifty dollars a ton must be added
lo cost of every cargo of imports in order that our friends
may not be disturbed by foreign (competition." If the
comm-: 11 country wore called upon to share imposition, it
still would he unjust, but how flagrantly unfair does it
become one section of States is required to shoulder well-
nigh alone the whole ten million dollars levy in the inter
est of special privilege.
While the world war raged and foreign tr urces of sup
ply were cut off, dr fanners paid as cheerfully as they
could the enormous prices then charged for potash, and
did their patriotic best to produce abundant harvests for
the nation's urgent needs. But now that peace has return
ed and the general scale of costs is revised downward
how unreasonable to demand that the cotton grower shall
pay wartime prices for potash. When his own product has
sunk to a meager fraction of its former value! Logically
has It been said that even were high imp- rt duties on
potash needful, still "it would be much better business to
pay the manufaet rer a bonus outright and be done, with
It." Certainly there is no equity in shifting the burden al-
niort wholly to one region and to the group of agricul
tural producers who are micst able to hear it
O
SWEET POTATOES IN EUROPE
Tlie Jacksonville Tlmcs-Unton predicts that within a few
years the scith will he as widely known in Europe for its
sweet potatoes as fir its cotton, and the Chsr'eston News
end Courier says "that sounds like a daring prophecy in
view of the fact that at present Europe knows next to
nothing about the sweet potato yet there is no good rea
son why it should not come true, and there are several
reasons why it should"
The prediction made by the Tinies.Union is based on an
experiment reported by the federal bureau of markets in
the latest issue of the Market Reporter. This experiment
was the shipment to Liverpool last March of six hundred
pounds <(f Porto Rk'o yarns grown in southern Georgia.
The yams were packed in 6t-pound crates and shipped
Wider ventilation. At Liverpool they were ispected and
found to be in good condition. Sales were readily made
aud receipts for the preparation of sweet potato were
distributed to each buyer. S. successful was the ex
periment In every way that according to the Market Re
porter "furtehr experimental studies ot' the transatlatic
shipment of this commodity are planned.
This is net only Interesting, but it should be encourag
ing to the fanners of tho southern states, where the sweet
potato cun so easily and so abundantly be grown This
is especially true since modern mqgjods of curing the
potato and preserving it from rot and deterioration have
been discovered making lo ses to growers so si'.iaM as to
he inconsiderable.
Because there were such great losses In the way of rot
ting in sweet potatoes the farmers of this section of the
co, ntry have heretofore undertaken to raise but compara
tively few more than they needed for their own consump
tion and such as they might sell in an in different sort of

I know of two irsse in imrticulnr
when I make this statement. Seems
Dr. McNaughton should receive more
special recognition of his services
dene during t c ^pdemio, and the
rl ggecti ns recently made in “creat
ures of circumstances,” that he is
made assistant physician to Dr. Comp-
