Ashes for Sweet Potatoes.

A correspondent says Il no.
tice the question is asked, which is
the best fertilizer or manure for
sweet potatoes? From the expert
ence l have had in manuring the
sweet potato, l must say that rotted
ashes, when properly put on, has
precedence over all others have had
any experience with. The plan that
l adopted was to open a deep furrow
with a scooter pillow and put in plen-
ty of ashes. Bed on the ashes and
a sure crop may be realized on the
poorest soil. Cow penning is good
so are cotton seed and stable ma
nure; hut, after experimenting with
the ashes, they will all be aban-
doned, provided the ashes can be
had. l experimental on as poor
soil as | had, and the result was as
fine crop of potatoes as / ever saw
on any kind of land. Rotted ashes
is good for cotton also, and almost
any kind of vegetation. 1 am con-
WINGED there is not better fertilizer
made on any plantation than rotted
ashes. So every one will find it
greatly to his interest to take special
care of it."

Worthy of Emulation.

AT the sitting OF the state demo
cratic executive committee, Mr.. Hill
offered a resolution presenting the
idea that a joint convention was liza
bic not to be harmonious and pro-
posing that the two committees call
conventions at the same time, and
then agree upon basis of harmony.
Four of the members voted for the
resolution and six against it. When
it was ascertained that Mr.. Hills
resolution was lost, Mr.. Childress
called Mr.. McGrath to the chair
and said:
81 have had but one view of the
state debt issue from its conception,
and that is the state justly owes and
is able to pay the whole debt. l rec
ogized the differences of opinion
upon the question existing in the
state, and the disruption of the
democratic party thereby. l cor
daily reciprocate the sentiment for
its unification, and | take it, there
is not member of the committee
but shares the same sentiment. The
best means of reaching the desired
result is a subject on which we are
not united. My views were en-
braced in the resolution offered by
my friend Mr. Hill. They fail to
meet the approval Of Il majority OF
my committee. My democracy has
always taught me the doctrine that
the majority should rule. Accept
ing that sentiment as my guide, and
desiring that nothing shall be left
undone that could be done to accom-
plish in letter and spirit the object
de ired, now hope we may by our
example set the democrats Of Ten
nessee a practical example OF har-
mony and unifcation and vote unan-
imously for the resolution of my
friend, Mr.. Carroll"
The vote for the Carroll resolu-
ton was unanimous, the minority
surrendering their opinion to that OF
the majority. Thus these leaders
have set an example worthy ofemu
lation by the democrats of the state
If you can't get exactly what you
want, accept the next best thing
that you can get.
