This is the age when people admit
that they may be mistaken and that
the other fellow may possibly be
right. Especially is this so politically
and therefore we find many making
unprecedented Investigations instead
Of taking a partisan stand whether
right or wrong. This change in pub
Tic sentiment and the better method
of quickly getting at facts will make
the 1912 campaign n Of unusual In
terest. And the result will not be GER.

in. AS different localities seem to
have different ideas, the man who
bets on the next election is likely to
get fooled,

When making folk a daily call
He heard at least from half them all,
You have TO walk now, don't you?"

On this one topic all agree
They say: 1T seems so new to me,
He has to walk now, don't he?"
You'll ride no more" Sir Stobart
said,
You'll walk and earn your meat
and bread;
You used to have an easy thing.
Now in your ears this criy will ring:
You have to walk now, don't you?"
Come out my way ---" cried,
Some Sunday take ME for a ride"
Then sweetly smiled and said: Il see
You have to walk now, don't your
Farewell to Jack who took you
round,
You're where your feet can touch the
ground;
And this all comes of purchase

1t strikes you like a ton Of straw,
You have to walk now, don't you?'
Now - shakes his lock up key,
And starts for home, for bread and
tea,
A hack rolls down a new paved street

But hears:
You have to walk now, don't you?'

5000 BUSHELS ON 20 ACRES
Yellow Vans Bring Mr.. b. VI. VIII
son of Albany Big Profits.
Sells 1000 Bushels.

This year Mr. b. NJ. Wilson, on his
Fernland Farms, mile west of the
city, has planted twenty acres or
mere IT. sweet potatoes, and he is
now gathering a crop of potatoes Of
commercial proportins.
He chose the yellow yam variety,
and his potatoes will class as choice
and bring the top of the market
wherever they are offered.
A conservative estimate of his yield
based upon the portion of the crop
already gathered exceeds 200 bushels
Der acre, and the actual yield will
probably be nearer 250 bushels per
acre. 1t seems to be a safe oalcula-
ton that he will have not less than
5000 bushels of choice vans.
He is sacking for shipment 1000
bushels, for which he is to receive
65 cents per bushel f. 0. b. Albany.
The larger portion of his crop he will
probably bank, and after Christmas
or at any time next spring every
bushel of them will be as good for a
dollar, even in the local market, as a
ginger cake with persimmOn beer on
the side ever was for a dime at an
old-fashioned county fair.
Mr.. Wilson has certainly demon
strated the fact that growing sweet
potatoes on a commercial scale is
worth while.

WOMAN'S MISSIONARY MEET
INTERESTING REPORTS MADE BY
DELEGATES TO CONVENTION.
Officers Elected for Ensuing Year,
and Most Encouraging Outlook for
Baptist Mission Work.

Monday afternoon at the Baptist
church the Woman's Missionary So
ciety and the Y. w. A. held a joint
service for the purpose of hearing
reports of the delegates who attend
ed the recent state convention in
Augusta.
Miss Leila Will Chambless gave an
interesting account of the Sunbeam
work of the state. Training the child
for future usefulness is foundation
work, the importance of which can
not be overestimated. Train up a
child in the way he should go and
when he is old he will not depart
from it." These are the wise words
of the wisest man, Prov. 22;6.
Mrs. L. c. Durham mentioned many
important happenings of the Augusta
meeting. A number of returned
missionaries were in attendance and
added much to the interest of the
convention. She spoke most encour-
agingly of the result of the past
years work. The apportionment of
the Georgia women was $4,000, and
without any high pressure methods
they raised $79,533.28. The money
aim for the incoming year is $50, 900.
For the past four years the women
of Georgia have led all the Southern
states connected with the Southern
Baptist Convention in gifts-a cause
for humility and gratitude.
Miss Alice Melton was to have
given the Y. w. A. feature of the
state work, but was providentially
hindered from attending the meeting.
Miss Melton made fine talk before
the convention on Promotion Day, "
which was well received; indeed, the
other Dawson delegates report that
she won golden opinions" for the
excellent way in which she presented
her number on the program.
The convention will meet in 1913
with the Ponce de Leon Baptist
church of Atlanta.
An important feature of the Mon
day afternoon meeting was the cleo
tion of officers for the Woman's Mis-
sionary Society the coming year. The
result was as follows: Mrs. L. c..
Durham, president; Mrs. K. S. Wor-
thy, first vice president; Mrs. j. L..
Edwards, second vice president; Mrs.
j. H. Whitchard, secretary and treas
urer; Mrs. T. S. Martin, correspond
ing secretary.
The missionary society with these
officers working in energetic COOP
Grafton with the Y. w. A. under the
efficient leadership of Miss Minnie
/ Bridges, the Lynn Durahm Mission
Circle, directed by Miss Minnie
Clark, the Sunbeams, directed by
Mrs. J. P. Harris, and the Royal Am
bassadors, under the splendid man
agement of Mrs. Emma Crouch, the
! splendid outlook for our Baptist mis-
sion work is very encouraging, in
deed. REPORTER.
