NUMBER s
Closing Exercises of the
TupeIo Graded School.
Commencement Sermon Delivered
by DR.. ShoII at the Pres. J
byterian Church.
Diplomas Awarded to Seven Young La.
dies and Young Men.

The closing exercises of the
TupelO Graded School was begun
Sunday morning when DR.. Sholl
of Tennessee delivered the an
nual sermon at eleven O'Clock at
the Presbyterian church. The
sermon was replete with sound
logic and christian fervor and
sustained the high reputation of
the learned divine as one of the
foremost ministers of his church.
Monday evening a large audi
ence assembled at the Opera
House to witness the graduating
exercises. The stage had been
fittingly decorated for the occa-
.casion and presented a most
pleasing scene. The program
was opened with an invocation
by Rev. S. P. Pryor, who invok-
ed the divine blessing upon the
work of the school and upon the
individual pupils and teachers.
The glee club of the school rem
dered a chorus which was fol-
lowed by the essays of the grad
uating class, which came in the
following order:
Class Dreamer, Miss Minrose
Kincannon; Glass Historian, John
/ Anderson; Glass Phrophetess,
Miss nellie Turner; Class EXtrav-
aganzast, Stannard Topp; Glass
Paraphrast, Miss Ruth Brown;
Class Patriot, Elmo Ballard;
Class Testatrix, Miss Lucille
Dabbs. The essay of each men,
Der was worthy of especial COM
mendation and mention, all hav-
ing acquitted themselves hand
somely. The program was in
terspersed by piano solos by Mis-
ses Dale Raymond, Rosalie Kin
cannon, Leontine Fraser, Linda
/ Kincannon and Eleanor Blair,
the rendition of which gave ev-
idence that their opportunities
for instruction had been rare.
At the close of the program,
Hon. Guy Mitchell in a short
speech delivered the diplomas.
The school closes one of it's
most successful years. The work
has been done with conscien-
tious regard for the welfare of
the individual pupil whose future
so largely depends upon the in
struction received in the school
room. Prof. Wallace and each
assistant in the school have la
bored earnestly to advance the
children entrusted to their keep
ing and direction in all those ell
ements of mind and heart that
go to fit them for a high citizen
ship in after life.
The board of trustees have re-
elected the faculty with the ex-
ception of Miss Kimmons and
Prof. Whittenhill who were not
applicants for places next year.
Their places are yet to be filled.

should be welcome, but the most
fertile section of the state of Mis-
sissippi should not be surrendnr-
ed to be colonized by an alien
race, or abandoned absolutely to
large land owners to establish a
system of foreign tenantry, and
thus effectually withdraw this
desirable territory from all pos
sibility of it's ever becoming the
heritage Of the thrifty sons and
daughters of our own race. To
thus surrender the delta, the
garden spot of the world, to an
alien race, not of our own kith or
kind. would be. in my judgment,
nothing short of a sin against our
own youg manhood, the evil re-
suits Of which would be visited
upon generations yet Unborn.
If the delta be made an asylum
for undesirable immigrants, in a
short while they will overrun 9TH
er parts of the state and occupy
the land that ought to be kept to
provide homes for our own boys
and girls,
Upon the merits of these mea-
sures the suffrages of my fellow
Democrats will be solicited. And
to discussion thereof all other
candidates are respectfully invi-
ted. Believing that the prin-
ciples of our government can be
best advanced and perpetuated
by the administration of affairs
through the Democratic party,
both state and national, Ishall in
the future as in the past, strive
to maintain, uphold and perpetu-
ate that parsy, supporting with
implicit fidelity the principles an
nouncec in it's state and national
platforms. My canvass for the
high office to which Iaspire shall
be conducted upon plain abso-
lutely free from personalities.
To each of my honored opponents
| concede in advance all those
qualities of heart and mind which
my most partial and enthusiastic
friend may claim for me.
My canvass will be hampered
by no pledges or promises, in the
past or for the future, to any
man or men. One promise only
will be made by me, or by au-
thority in my behalf, and that to
the people who may honor me:
If elected my entire time and ut
most ability shall be devoted to
an earnest effort to give the peo-
pie of my native state an admin
istration void of any suspicion of
partisan factionalism, and one
which will tend to promote the
industrial development of the en-
tire state.
If my personal and official rec
ord, ahd my views upon public
questions shall commend them
selves favorably to my fellow cit
liens, | request their suffrage
without regard to past personal
or so-called factional alignments.
Faithfully yours,
JEFF TRULY.

the piling process proceeds, the sand
will absorb any additional moisture
that may come out of the potatoes
after repacking, thus keeping them
dry. Dry sand or dust from the road
or cotton seed hulls will generally
guarantee sound potatoes in April.
A hundred bushels can be put in the
kitchen loft, where smoke and heat
ascend to keep. p.ithem dry, and not a
bushel will rot. OF course the tubers
must be covered with sacks or some-
thing to keep themsfrom freezing.

Preserving swss. Potatoes.

There is an art in preserving sweet
potatoes during the winter months.
The tubers have an excess of sweet
juices, part of which must be evapo-
rated out of the potato to give it
solidity, and place it in more com.
pact state. When first taken from
the soil the potatoes should be put in
room where their skins will become
dry from outside moisture, but not
in the sun. In ten days they may
be banked, as it is called, and allowed
to remain for about three weeks.
During this period the tubers will
pass through a sweating process, and
If not properly ventilated the mois-
ture that remains on the tuber will
cause it to rot. III the entire bulk be
rehandled after the sweating and
laid in piles of fifty bushels or more,
and dry sand poured over them as

TO DIG and keep SWEET POTATOES
SOMETHING AS TO TRIED METHODS FOR
SAVING AN IMPORTANT CROP.

The latter part of October, when
the ground is dry, is the most favor
able time for digging sweet potatoes
in the northern tier of the Southern
States, but in the Gulf States they
are rarely dug until the last of No
vember. This edible root is growing
very rapidly in popularity, and large
quantities are now shipped with other
vegetables to the Northern markets,
where they command good prices
and ready sales. The sweet pota-
toes of the South are far more sugary
than those grown in higher alti-
tude, and TO this quality may be at
tribnted their growing popularity.
IChas always been a>difficult mat
ter with many sweet potato growers
to keep the tubersa through the win
ter. Sweet potatoes are very sensi-
tive TO both scold and heat and can
not be kept sound where there is a
high degree of humidity. In the ex-
treme Southern States they are easily
kept by being banked in sand.

Last year, at the request'of Ander-

Committee on the Good of the Order
conducted cooperative farm expe-
riment with the South Carolina
Experiment Station to determine the
money value of ground cotton seed
as manure under cotton and corn,
which showed that cotton seed un.
der corn on thin land was worth net
about 90 cents and 1924 under cot
ton per hundred.
This year our bureau has fourteen
comparative field tests to determine
the merits of the Aldrich system of
two rows of cotton and two rows of
corn.
We also have several acres in COM
parative test as to the merits of the
Williamson stunning system of corn
culture and side application of fer
tilizers.
We also have several large plats
in oats to determine the difference
in deep ploughing, disk narrowing
and no ploughing of pea stubble be-
fore drilling in oats.
The plats are measured and pro-
ducts are weighed by experts from
the South Carolina Experiment Sta
tion, and all the work is bel 3 done
by common farm labor on the farm.
