A Now Potato.

A new species Of white potato has for
years been cultivated in France from
plants found in Uruguay. originally a
very bitter tuber. after three or four
years of cultivation, an admirable food
product. Its yield is enormous and 1t is
exempt from the maladies that attack
the ordinary potato. 1t grows best in
moist soils, its native habitat being
the marshy shores Of the River Mer-
cedes, in Uruguay. Its flowers have a
jasmine-like color, and a delicate per-
fume has already been extracted from
them. After one planting the plant
perpetuates itself from the broken root
lets left in the soil. The real draw
back to this new potato is the strong.
peculiar flavor, which may sometimes
be modified or bred out, but which at
present keeps the tubers out Of the
market.

A Hero Of the Forest.

Robert B. Fletcher has been the
bappiest man in Ben Hill County
twice this year, once about three
months ago when his first baby
was born and again this morning
when he killed the biggest buck in
the Allapaha swamp.
1t was the first deer we have
heard of killed under the new
game law. He weighed $50
pounds dressed and his antlers
looked like a chair frame. The
grand old buck was coming direct
ly toward Mr.. Fletcher and with
his rifle brought down in the
Daniel Boone fashion with a bullet
in the breast.
Mr., Fletcher brought the buck to
Fitzgerald on the running board of
his automobile and he was the
center of attraction on Grant ST,
for a quite a while this morning
He was photographed together with
Mr.. Fletcher, Game Commissioner
Mercer, DR.. E. j. Dorminy, Mr.. B. 7.
Strickland, and other enthusiastic
local sports.
The antlers will decorate the
office of the State Game & Fish
Commissioner as soon as they they
can be prepared.

A Quiet Campaign.

Atlanta, Oct. 3.-For the first
time in the recent history of Geor-
gia politics gubernatorial Marathon
is well into its first lap without hav-
ing aroused any bitter antagonlsms
or any very strong animosities..
There are three men in the race,
all called by familiar, friendly
title, Farmer Pope, Plain Dick
and Little joe. Thus far, not a
one of the three has said a person
ally bitter thing about the other two.
Pope Brown is for out and out
prohibition. Judge Russell is for
local option. Joseph M. Brown is
for things as they are-that is near
beer saloons but no Whiskey.
Each man is pursuing his own
campaign, making arguments in ia
vor of his own solution OF the prop
lem, but without going out OF his
way to attack his opponents.
Leading Georgia newspapers which
have hitherto plunged into the thick
of the fray and have not hesitated
to fight with tooth and toe-nail-not-
able the Augusta Chronicle and the
Atlanta Journal-are this year pur-
suing policies of practical neutrality.
So with most of the powerful indi-
vidual politicians. They will vote
for the men of their choice, but they
are not very actively engaged in
persuading their friends and con-
stituents to vote.
If nothing new precipltates I'M
pleasantness, it may be a friendly
fight to the very end.

Stuart Is Expected to
Recommend Assistant

When the Board Of Education meets
Monday afternoon at the Franklin
School, Superintendent A. T. Stuart
probably will make his recommended
ton for an assistant superintendent
Since Percy NJ. Hughes resigned and
went to Rochester. n. Y, to accept the
superintendency of the schools there.
the place has been vacant, and the de-
lay in selecting a successor has caused
much speculation.
Many persons in close touch with the
school situation assert the vacancy
would have been filled Immediately If
Emory Wilson, principal of the Central
High School, had consented to take the
place. The statements are made that
Mr.. Stuart has delayed making his
recommends ton in the hope that Mr..
Wilson would reconsider his decision.
Whether he has relented is not known
but Superintendent Stuart said this
morning he expected the matter would
be discussed at the next meeting of the
board.

NEW CANAL BONDS
=. EXPECTED To BRING
LARGE PREMIUM
Banks Seem to Be Eager for
Issue of Fifty Million
Dollars.

Treasury officials are convinced that
when the time comes to receive bids on
the new issue of $50,OOO,OOO Panama 3
per cent bonds there will not be the
slightest difficulty in getting a good
premium. They will be disappointed II
the bids are not considerably above par,
and this despite the fact that these
bonds will be unique among those is
sued since the civil war in that they
will not be disable as the basis for cir
culation.
Signs are not wanting that the banks
will bid briskly for the bonds, or part
of them, for the reason that. while they
cannot be used as the basis for circu-
lation, they will be available as security
for public deposits.
Two Per Cent Bonds.
The banks now have about S29,0OO,O0O of
the per cent bonds up as security for
public deposits. If the banks that have
these bonds up can sell them and re-
place them with bonds bearing 3 per
cent, 1t will be to their advantage. One
way in which the banks can use the
per cents is to issue notes against them
and increase circulation, while using
the per cents as security for public
deposits. The banks regard the per
cents as more attractive by reason OBJ
viously of the higher interest rate.
Probably something over half of the
new bonds will be seized on readily by
the banks That there will be brisk
demand for the rest of them for invest
ment purposes merely is expected.
As 1t Might Have Been.
Had this new bond issue been put out
q few years ago, the Treasury would
at once have proceeded to put the
money back in the national banks and
keep it there on deopslt. But this will
not be done by Secretary MacVeagh.
The plan so much favored by Secretary
Shaw of dispensing Treasury favors in
the form of deposits to national banks
is not looked on in the present regime
with as much kindness as it used to
be- Mr.. Shaw's policy has been criti-
cised in severe terms, especially as IA
VOritism in treatment of banks was al
legged, and there will be no putting out
money in the natiOral banks, save as 1t
may seem absolutely necessary on ac-
count of moving of crops or some un-
looked-for disturbance in financial con-
ditions in the money centers.
