Sweet Potatoes A Profitable Crop.

Waynesboro News Beacon.
The man who raises sweet potatoes
and markets them early this year
will make more clear money than the
man who raises cotton on the same
amount Of land. Potatoes are sell
ing readily for one dollar a bushel
and at this price 1t should be no trod-
BILE for a man to sell fifty dollars
worth from an acre of land, and this
is more than he can get per acre for
cotton, even at a big price aud with
for less expense. Besides this the
man who raises the potatoes gets
his money for his crop in September,
where the cotton grower has only
started to gather his crop at this
time.

The pie which the coming Lcgisla-
ture will control is far from going
a begging. Take the clerkship for
instance. Paul Hobbs let it be known
a few weeks. back that he would
stand Tor that job. Then came Yer
ger and now L. Pink Smith the pre-
sent incumbent, neither of whom
stand any show against an out-s.nd-
outaVardaman man. The last entry
is Capt. j. G. eastman, the versatile
editor OF the Vicksburg Daily Post,
who swung the daily newspaper part
OF the Vardaman tight III the recent
campaign. Evidently eastman and
Hobbs quickly came to an under
standing and rightly so--for Hobbs
has dropped out of the race which
leaves eastman to muster the undi-
vided vote OF the Vardaman forces.
eastman is deserving and should be
rewarded in some such way with pie
if he asks for it and he has. We did
not expect he would want this slice
but it seems he does, and let him have
it, but OF course that's for the bows
in the next Legislature to decide.
The Vardaman wing can be depend
ed upon to concentrate on man to
their liking.

Christ Loved Home.

Though too poor to have a home of
His OVID, He went out to spend the
night at Bethany, two or three miles
walk from Jerusalem, and over a
rough and billy road that made it
equal to six or seven ordinary miles,
every morning and night going to
and fro, He loved the quietude of
home life, and He was lovely in His
domesticity.
How He enjoyed handing over the
resurrected boy to his mother and
the resurrected girl to her father and
reconstructing homesteads which
disease and death were breaking up!
As the song, Home. Sweet Home"
was written by man who at that
time had no home, so we think the
homelessness OF Christ added to his
appreciation Of domesticlty.
Furthermore He YVES lovely in His
synpathies. Now dropsy is most
distressful complaint. 1t innam. s
and svells and fortunes any limb or
physical organ it touches. AS soon
as a case of that kind is submitted to

EDITORIAL

Owing TO the STORMY iactonal
times onto which the state has
now come, we would prefer to see
all needed enwritings to the State
constitution made by amendment if
possible, as that instrument contains
too many excellent provisions put
there for prove6ly wise purposes to
be upset at time when partisan
passions runs at such high tide.
But the few needed char ges to our
organic law must not by any means
be defeated by the next legislature.
So lets have these regardless of the
channel chosen, amendment or coli
stitutional convention.

the punishment for his ''embezzle-

wreaking vengeance in any such a

a sympathy to which he is not en-

Table Manners.

American men are good workers.
They see their wives and children
but little except at table. That seems
to be about the only family gather
ing. What spectacle is the COM
mon management of these family
meetingsl
The father sits in glum silence and
shovels in as fast as he can swallow
The children follow the parental ex-
ample. The food is passed only when
asked for, and is then passed in ST.
lence.
There is nothing human about it..
We cannot see in What l>:,asiia. par
ticular it differs from a group of pigs
gathered about trough.
If these gatherings were rightly
managed; If the experiences OF the
children in their schools were loving
ly called out by parental interest; il
such news as the parents had picked
up since the last meeting were told
il this were the scene at the table
three times day it would grow by
what it feeds on. The table meeting
would be more attractive to the
small people, The parents would
grow into a loving oneness with
their children. 1t would in truth
prove the greatest blessing to every
member of the group. and IN the
long run would contribute more to
the physical, intellectual, social and
moral development of the young peo-
pie than any other agency we can
name. 4iD gHr i5i

The END OF TUBERCULOSIS
Cows and Hogs-and Men.


We have an agricultural de-
partment, and we are spending
$li.000,000 or $lJ,000.000 year
to tell the farmers by the results
of our research how they ought
to treat the soil and how they
ought to treat the hogs and how
they ought to treat the cattle
and the horses. with a view to
having good hogs and good cat
tie and good horses. There is
nothing in the constitution espe-
cially about hogs or cattle or
horses. and if out of the public
treasury at Washington we can
establish department for that
purpose it does not seem to be a
long step or Il stretch of logic
to say that we have the power
to spend the money in a bureau
of research to tell how we can
develop good men and good wo-
men. Some of our enthusiastic
conservators of national re-
sources hive calculated how
much the life of each man and
each woman in the community
is worth 10 that community. |
do not think it necessary to re-
sort TO that financial calculation
in order to justify the saving of
human life, such as can be ac-
complished by the results of re-
search and advice that will pro-

bureau of health.
