EVAPORATED SWEET POTA-
TOES.
Meal From Them. Valuable as a
Diet for Table Use and Feed for
0%041~

HENDERSON, n. c., June LIST. '94.
EDITOR GOLD LEAF As the out
look for large sweet potato crop in
this section is good. and knowing you
to be great friend to the farmers. de-
sirous of aiding them in any way you
can through your valua BILE paper, l
desire space for brief article in regard
to evaporating sweet potatoes. / read
in the GOLD LEAF some time last
winter how to raise sweet potatoes and
so now l would like TO say few words
about taking care of them after they
are made and am satisfied from what
information have gained since l read
the article in your paper that the sweet
potato can be best kept by digging.
pealing, slicing and then drying them
thoroughly in an evaporator. Having
done this put them into a mill and
grind them into meal The product
can be put into bags or paste board
boxes with nice liable on same and |
am confident that every pound could
be sold in local and Northern markets.
They would make fine potato buildings
and pies. AS l am making some
further inquiries in regard to this bust
ness and expect to put up lot OF
sweet potato meal myself, it would
give me great pleasure to help any one
that would like to put up lot of
potato meal in his section and if such
| persons will write to me 1 will give
the points as far as 1 know and also
| give the prices of different size mills
to grind the potato into meal. think
every section that has cotton gin
ought to have mill to put up potato
meal for the neighborhood as it is a
business that will grow larger every
season. You can get mill to do this
work say from hand power to as large
steam power as may be wished. This
meal would be fine to feed stock on
through the winter.
Very Respectfully,
GEO. ORENSHAW.

SOUND DOCTRINE ABOUT THE
NEGRO.

Senator Thomas ]. Jarvis spoke the
words Of truth and soberness when he
said in his address on Thursday, before
the Augusta Industrial Congress
The negroes are not responsible for
being here; but they are here to stay.
The negro would not go away
if ne could, and he could not il he would.
He must be recognized as a fixture in
the South, and the wisest plan to pursue
is to educate him and make the best
possible citizen out of him.
Their preachers must be instructed and
aided by the white preachers, and where
one is unworthy he must be exposed and
displaced, as the teacher and the preacher
exercise tremendous influence among
them, and when vicious do a vast deal OF
harm. Better homes, better schools and
churches, better teachers and preachers,
and better laws would make the negro
an intelligent and law-abiding citizen,
and then capital and labor would not
hesitate to come among them.
We endorse every word of Mr..
Jarvis statcsmanlke statement of the
course to he adopted towards our
negroes.
We have never been of those who
think the negro is white man only
with a dark skin. We believe there
are deep and inelfaceable racial differ
ences between the negro the the
Anglo Saxon, which affect not only
the physical, but the very intellectual
and moral natures Of the two races.
1t is needless now to enlarge on these.
The observant and intelligent white
man of the South knows it, and nc
statement or argument could convince
those who have never been closely
associated with negroes in large num-
bers, and who are fully persuaded thai
the only distinctions between the races
are physical, and that all else is only a
matter of time and education.
While we do not believe that age:
of education will raise the average O
negro intellect to level with the
average white mans intellect, yet the
progress in civilization made by thu
negro since he was set free is unques
tionably encouraging.
1t is folly to think, as we have heard
that a negro is not improved by
education, both moral and scholastic
Some negroes may be spoiled by
schooling; little knowledge is e;
dangerous thing, to blacks as we'll a
to whites, but there are few men who
would rather employ negro wht
could read and write and who at leas
knew the Ten Commandments, thar
one who was as ignorant of letters anC
laws as his savage ancestors in Africa
We have long believed that it wa
not only the duty, bat the interest o
the Southern whites to elevate mos
diligently the minds and morals of TIT
negroes.
Their old masters Of the best typ
certainly tried to do SO when the negro
was slave.
That the South has done nobly b,
the negro is attested by the million
of State money spent on their educa
ton in public schools, and by tn
faithful work done in all Christian
denomination to instruct them in thei
moral and religious duties. -Atlant

The Doctor said many good things
''Be heroes said he. 'Our purpose

purpose is no better than our philos-
ophy. The mind is the standard of
the man. Walk worthy of the gospel.
We need Christ in our lives. and the
world needs to see Christ reproduced
in Us. Courage is needed in the strife
against sin and wrong. There was an
idea in some portions of the North
! that the rough and reckless element
would make the best soldiers. A reg
iment was made up of this class and
started from Brooklyn or New York,
but it was found tina: they were cow
ards at heart and could not stand up
before the enemy. Christians made the
best soldiers North and South, and the
country wanted men who feared not
death and dared stand before the can
non if duty called. Gen. Stonewall
Jackson was noble example of Chris
tian heroism, and Gen. Howard of the
North, also exhibited the same ele-
ment. Washington and Nelson are
also illustrious examples of Chris ian
courage. Washington before Valley
Forge is one of the sublimest pictures
of fortitude. Life is mission, and is
told by deeds not gears. Have an ideal
a plan in life. Don't be like these

rather like the great ocean steamer
