PROFIT IN SWEET POTATOES.


Mose Of This Product Consumed Than
Raised In State.
That sweet potatoes is a profitable
crop in Mississippi has just been
demonstrated by a negro residing neal
Natchez, who sold the potatoes from
one acre of land for $40.
The negro made a contract to raise
potatoes on his acre of land for the
Natchez Canning Company at IS cents
a bushel. Before he had carried out
the contract the negro asked for a
better price for his potatoes, but the
company held him to it, and when
he carried the product of one acre to
the factory a few days ago he re-
ceived $40 for 200 bushels Of fine po-
tatoes.
Not only was the crop . big one.
but the size and quality Of the pota-
toes YER excellent. The negro
could, he learned afterwards, have
raised other products on the land,
thus increasing its earning capacity
considerably. II he had thought of it
in time. He promises to do better
next year. and the prospects are he
will get more than double that sum
for his labors in 1911.
Potatoes, according to merchants of
jackson and other cities, are in good
demand all the year, yet a large part
of this product consumed in Missis-
sippt Is shipped into the state. Pota-
toes make a good money crop, and the
yield is tremendous. It requires but
little work to raise a fine crop of
potatoes, and the business men of
Jackson want the farmers to raise
more potatoes in future.

ORPHANAGE WORK DAY.
Supt. Williams Returns Thanks For
the Offerings.

Jackson.-A most gratifed and
thankful heart is that which beats In
the breast of Rev. w. M. Williams. su
perintendent of the Methodist Or
phans' Home, this city, as to the re-
suits following the recently observed
and statewide work Day" for that
special benefit. In his note of ac-
Acknowledgement and qualification, Su-
p%erintendent Williams says:~
1--WE are glad to send out this
triumphal note to all the friends Of
this orphanage. Work Day has chang
ed our relationship to the bank. In
stead of our being a debtor to the
bank, the bank has become debtor to
the home. Receipts from Work Day
amounted to $2,S11.23, which was up
to the LIST of November. Since then
other receipts which have been added
bring the total up to over $4,000. This
is gratifying to all, but especially to
those who c~o-operated with u.s.
Mr.. Williams proceeds to demon
strate by simple process of calcula-
ton just what would result If all the
churches, Sunday schools and men,
bers generally would but do their
very simple part. There are In the
state LII churches, $50 Sunday
schools and 107,126 members. Sup
posing that every one of these had
observed Work Day in a systematic
heart-whole manner, they would have
received 100000, instead of the
$4,000, and the building fund would
have been just that much strength
ened, as well as the addition to the
endowment and maintenance funds.

MUST PAY HEAVIER FEES.

Insurance Companies Required to Re-
Munerate Clerks.
Jacksonville question was recent
ly raised as to whether insurance COM
panies must pay for having each state
ment recorded by the Chancery Clerk
of each of the counties in the state.
and the decision of the department of
Justice, handed down by Assistant At
torney-General Carl Fox, is that they
must pay for each and every re-
cordation.
This means an increase Of about
$50 a year in the fees Of every Chan
Gerry Clerk in the state, as heretofore
only one fee of 80 cents has been
charged for recording all the state
ments of the companies, which were
sent out in book form.
The question was raised through
the Insurance Commissioner, who
sends out the statements to be re-
corded

is going to ask the industrial agents

Clark, who is slated for the speakershlp
in the lower house, in a speech express
ed his own hearty sympathy with the
rivers and harbors bill which was ratf-
fed by the rivers and harbors congress
and will be presented to the United
States Congress during the present ses-
SIGN. If that bill goes through the In
diana Harbor harbor and canal VIII
profit thereby, as the bill calls for
large appropriation 70 rthe improve
ment of such harbors and water ways
as have areay been accepted by the gos-
eminent. The local harbor and canal
have already received their official
ecognition by the war department ard
will share in the appropriation If grant
ed. pro rata with other recognized har-
Ebors and water ways.
Mr.. Clark declared that the rivers and
harbors congress could count on the
support of the lower house for their
measure and if any missionary work Is
required to see It through. this would
better be directed to the White House
and the Senate.
Apropos this question which so near

write at once to Col. linn of the de-
partment Of the lakes, for written ac-
