WILL SHIP POTATOES
TO NORTH AND WEST

WAYCROSS. Ga, Dee. 81. n. Cox, OF
this city, manager Of the J. NJ. Cox Co..
wholesale groceries, is shipping large
quantities. OF sweet potatoes from this
point to western and eastern markets. A
year ago he shipped some, but the freight
was too high and after comforting with
the railroads they gave him a reduced
rate on sweet potatoes and he at once
contracted with several farmers to buy
their entire crop. These potatoes are now
being brought in and he Is shipping them
by the car load to the markets.
1t is only recently that the northern
markets would buy the yellow and
Norten yams, preferring to use the hard.
mealy Jersey potato to the sweet, soft
syrup vans OF this section. Since they
have got a taste of the latter they have
begun to call for them and Mr.. Cox says
he could sell ten times the amount he
can get.
He expects to handle twenty-five or
thirty car loads Tins season ana q hundred
or more next season.
He is now paying AZ cents a bushel for
them. 1t is easy to raise from two to
four hundred bushels of sweet potatoes
in this county and at AZ cents this will
yield the planters from $75 to $500 an acre
on potatoes They cost but little to raise
them and at these prices there is a large
profit in them.
Mr.. Cox says he proposes to make the
sweet potato crop Of this section the big
gest moving crop with the farmers.

citizen of Woodruff, died Thursday
night as the result OF wounds received in
an unusual manner. A month or more ago
Mr. Roach, who is a mail rider, found a

yesterday afternoon when the three small
children of Mr.. Roach found it. One of
the little ones suggested that the box-likN
affair be opened and in order to carry out
the idea a hammer was procured and the
torpedo given a blow. The result was a
terrific explosion, followed by cries of
pain.
Three of the children, sisters, were in
jured by the flying parts of the explosive,
but the oldest was the most severely in
jured She fingered until eight o'clock
last night, when death came as relief
to the sufferer. The accident was un-

CHIEF OPPONENT TO PLACE
ON BOARD OF TRUSTEES
OF SOLDIERS HOME.

Colonel ]. H. Estill. of Savannah. for
merly candidate for governor, has been
appointed a member of the board Of trus-
tees of the Soldiers home by Governor ].
NJ. Terrell.
The appointment was made Thursday
afternoon and Colonel Estill was notified
of the governors action that night. Colo
nell Estill will succeed Colonel William
Garrard, Of Savannah, who resigned some
time ago. Colonel Garrard was compelled
to give up the position on account OF his
numerous other duties. and when his res
ignation was sent in it was suggested to
the governor that Colonel Estill be named.
Colonel Estill is a Confederate soldier,
and is greatly interested in the Confed-
crate veterans of the state. The fact that
Colonel Estill was Governor Terrell's chief
opponent during the race for governor
and polled the next largest vote to Mr..
Terrell adds great interest to the appoint
mert.
Under the law establishing the home a
trustee must be appointed from each con-
gressional district N the state and Colo
mel Estill will represent the First con-
gressional district on the board.
