SOUTHERN THRIFTLESSNESS.
Georgia Furnishes New Jersey with
Marker for Damned Sweet PoEatoes.

Georgia Furnishes New Jersey with "a
Marker for Canned Sweet Potatoes.
In view OF the fact that the old crop
of sweet potatoes is nearly gone the
Herald desires to call the attention Of
its readers to the fact that at least one
grocery storeIn the city has CANNED
sweet potatoes in three pound cans
put up IN the state Of New Jersey, and
the grocery man, MIR. II. NJ. Elder, re.
marked to us yesterday, II am selling
. en-, too" What comment is this
upon the thrittless, the shIftless, and
we had almost SAID, the w0rthlessness,
Of us southern people. 1t Is not easy
TO grow sweet potatoes in New Jersey
and yet those enterprlsing yankees
save what they do raise by putting
them into three pound cans and sells
ing them to people who live in The
finest sweet potato country in the
world. There is actually no limit to
the amount of sweet potatoes that can
be grown in south Georgia, and yet we
buy them in cans from a market two
thousand miles away. Whata comment,
we repeat, upon existing conditions,
can be made to appear by following up
this idea. 1t has been claimed that
southerners throw away enough 20
support our northern consins, and,
verify, we believe the statement is
virtually correct. Go into any store in
the land and see what they have to
sell; almost everything comes from
abroad. Canned corn comes from
Maine, canned tomatoes and okra
from the middle and eastern states.
canned peaches from California, and
our meat, lard and -four from the west,
but the feather THAI breaks the campl's
back with us IS these canned sweet po-
tatoes from New Jersey. There is no
better country in the world to raise
the necessities and luXuries of life
than Wiregrass Georgia, and yet we
are dependent upon other sections and
are kept poor by the eternal tribute
which we pay to less favored sections.
Canned sweet potatoes are selling to-
day for about four dollars a bushel in

They're painted in all colors, and are

supposed to be incurable. For great many
years doctors pronounced it local disease,
and prescribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable Science has proven
catarrh to be constitutional disease, and
therefore requires constitutional treatment.
