Sweet Potatoes.

Atlanta Journal.
Texas farmers have discovered
wonderful possibilities in the
sweet potato, A recent bulletin Of
the agricultural experiment station
in the State shows to what great
Importance the sweet potato has
attained. The cotton crop of Texas
covers 4, 4,520,310 acres, and is worth
500, ,439,476; the corn crop covers
3,16G,353 acres, and is worth $2S,
429, 1875; the wheat crop cove RS 442,
337, acres and is worth $5.244,30;
the sweet potato crop covers 29,92S
acres and is worth $1,503.764;
This shows that the valuation of
each crop per acre is: cotton SIS,
SO, corn 1894, wheat $11,S9, sweet
potatoes $5O,24. The cost of grow
ing an acre of either of these crops
is about the same.
"This is a magnificent showing
for the sweet potato. There is
hardly any limit to the demand
for this palatable and wholesome
article of food. The potato always
blings a very good price and there
can be no doubt that it pays to
plant them.

NOTICE TO INVENTORS.

There was never time in the his
tory Of our country when the demand
for inventions and improvements in
the arts and sciences generally was so
great as now. The cOnveniences OF
mankind in the factory and work
shop, the household, on the farm, and
in official life. require continual ac-
cesslons to the appurtenances and
implements Of each in order to save
labor, time, and expense. The political
change i'm the administration of the
government does not affect the progress
of the American inventor, WI 0 being
en- the alert and-rcady to perceive the
existing deficiencies, does not permit
the affairs Of government to deter him
from quickly conceiving the remedy to
overcome existing discrepancies. Too
great care cannot be exercised in choos
nga competent and skillfully attor-
ney to prepare and prosecute an ap-
plication for patent. Valuable interests
have been lost and destroyed in in
Vulnerable instances by the employ
ment of incompetent counsel, and
especially is this advice applicable to
those who adopt the NO patent, no
nav" system. Inventors who entrust
their business to this class OF attorneys
do 50 at imminent risk, as the breadth
and strength of the patent is never
considered in view of quick endcavor
to get an allowance and obtain tho
fee then due. The PRESS CLAIMS

In North Carolina the convicts
are worked on farms owned or
rented by the State. They num-
bered last year about 10000, of
whom more than three forths were
actually employed in farm abor !;
124 only were kept in the prison
proper. The convicts employed
upon the farms earned $4,000,
and the cost of keeping them was
$4,000. They produced $4,000
bushels of corn, 1871 bales of cot
ton, 5000 bushels of wheat, 12,502
bushels of peanuts, 10000 bushels
of peas, and $4,000 pounds of pork.
The superintendent III his report
says that he sees no prospect of
convicts being employed in North
Carolina otherwise than on farms,
which indicates that the present
system is generally approved.

To be truly successful a man
must be able to rise after failure.
The general whose, campaign is
commenced amid series of disas-
ters, but who, nevertheless, by re-
pairing his mistake, concentrating
his forces, and watching his oppor-
tunitics, carries triumph out of de-
feat is the truly great captain.
The statesman or orator whose
maiden effort was covered with
confusion and ridicule, but who
resolves-in spite, or rather be-
Iause of this-that he will force
mis- opponents to hear and to re-
spect him shows that he is a great
man. The ability and the readi-
ness to learn from failure is the
secret of success.

body temporarily buried in the lot
