Profit in peanuts-Another good
crop to plant after grain is peanuts.
They are fine for both human and
beast, and perhaps the best hog
food on earth, and soon hog rails
ing will be the most profitable in
dnstry in the South. They already
have one packing plant in Georgia,
at Moultrie, and soon there is to be
erected at Griffin, (twelve miles
from home) that will slaughter
thousands of hogs and cattle per
day. They will pay Chicago pric-
es on foot. Hog raising and cattle
growing will take high jump
when this plant will have been
finished and is in operation.
In the meantime don't be de-
ceived by 10 cent cotton now.
Plant no more cotton, bat all the
cowpeas, rape, alfalfa, peanuts, etc.
that you can. Raise all the hogs
and cattle you can, and there will
be better times in Dixie in 1916
than ever before.

A BLANK RECORD.

The Columbia Herald criticises
the General Assembly for its fail
ure to do constructive work, and
says:
"The General Assembly has
been a notable disappointment to
the people. The dominant party
had two-thirds majority in each
house; there was never sugges-
tion of disorganization or quorum
breaking. Every pledge made by
the Democratic party could have
been redeemed in thirty days after
the session began if the members
had earnestly and patriotically set
themselves to the task. But that
the members did not do. They
had to get rid of two many dam
radicals there was much peanut
politics to play.
SIN real constructive legislation
the session failed and failed Ia
mentally. 1t does no begin to
compare to the work of the 1911 Or
1909 or 1913 sessions, all of which
were demoralized and broken into
by hegiras.
"Only one or two platform
pledges were redeemed. On law
enforcement some good work was
accomplished, but in the matter of
genuine progressive and construc-
tive legislation the record is
blank. A few departments were
changed, more Offices were created,
but not much was accomplished in
the interest of real reform"
This seems to be the general
impression. There is just one way
for the Governor to secure the per-
formance of platform pledges and
that is to call back the General
Assembly to its task until the work
is properly done.-Chattanooga
News.

PAYING FOR IT.

When President Wilson was urg-
ing the passage of the ship pur-
chase bill, he repeatedly declared
that its enactment would bring safe
ty to Americans in waters of Eu-
rope. A filibuster brought about
it's defeat. The Administrations
feared that some disaster would
occur with Americans having to
depend upon foreign ships. just
such a disaster rs the sinking Of
the Lusitania was feared. That
the administration showed fore
sightin its arguments in favor of
the bill has been proved at cost
of 100 American lives.
There was no doubt that the peo-
pie wanted the ship purchase bill.
They wanted it for two reasons
one for the benefit of their trade
and another for the safety of Amer
leans. Powerful and selfish inter-
ests brought it's defeat.
Germany, of course, doesn't want
British ships to get the benefit Of
American travel. Britain feels the
same way towards German ships.
If the ship purchase bill were up
for passage now, what would be
the attitude of the Republicans?
We are now paying for that fill
buster.-Knoxville Sentinel.

WILLIAM r. GROSS.

Sometimes amid the difficulties
and disappointments of life we are
made to question the wisdom of
God in giving us this existence.
We are made to ask, "Is life worth
living after alp" To the friends
and relatives of William r. Gross,
let me say that study of his life
will help you answer this question.
Uncle Billy, as he was usually
called, entered this life almost
eighty years ago. At an early age
he gave his heart to God, and unit
ed with the M. E. Church, South.
He trusted the same power that
saved his soul to guide him to the
end of life's pathway, to light the
valley of death and to bring him
safe to his final reward.
On May 7, after many months Of
privation and suffering, his life
quietly ebbed away. The great
concourse of weeping relatives and
friends who attended his funeral
speak in unmistakable terms of it's
great value. He spoke of being
ready to meet death and only wait
ing for the summons to come up
higher. We believe that his faith
erly admonition will ever remain
with his loved ones to guide them
around the pitfalls of sin and draw
them closer to God.
Yes, this life was worth the liv-
ing, comes in thunder tones from
family, church and community, and
it seems that we hear the Fathers
voice saying in confirmation of this
fact, "You have been faithful over &
w.things, | will make thee ruler
oyer many things, enter thou into
the joys of thy Lord"

asks Frank Dunn in Home and
Farm. This question is bread
one. How many of you that have
large grain crops sown have thought
of it? ~
Ten cent cotton now is a bad
thing for you individually and us
collectively. Many of you did not
Intend to plant any more cotton af-
ter your grain but a 10 cent cotton
Is temptation. But my good
farmer friends, don't be deceived.
Shun this evil sure; this goat in
sleeps clothing. Indeed, that is
correct The cotton brokeris doing
his very best to make you cut your
own throat. Suicide. Suicide!
But be wise; he thinks you are a
fool, but show him who you are.
Now, and right now, is the accept
ed time to show him up. Upon an
average there are six acres of grain
sown to every plow in Dixie this
year. That is, in Georgia.
Let's get down to business-soon
this crop will be harvested-you
will and must follow this with some
crop, and for your own sake, don't
put foot of it to so-called King
Cotton. Let's see something we
can put it to that will put more
hard dollars into your pocket next
fall and with less labor.
Cowpeas are fine to put after this
grain crop, either sown broadcast
for hay or planted for the crop of
peas If sown, you should make at
least ton of excellent hay per acre,
and if you care to pick them, five
bushels of peas, that are worth and
bring $40 any day. The hay alone
is worth SIS at market, or twice
this if fed to live stock, and after
utilizing that way, and manure put
back to land.
Let's see, good farmer friends,
on how many acres can you make
and do you expect to make S25
profit on cotton-even at lO cents!
Not one. Is this all profit? Prac-
tically all, and yet we failed to
think of the value to the land the
peas have been. They have put
an equivalent of $50 pounds of
commercial ertiIizer to the land,
while the cotton has drawn 200
nonpds from it. Thus The land is
in better condition for the next
years crop, In the long run that
spells more dollars, less labor and
better soil.
But cowpeas isn't all that is prof
table. Sweet potatoes are an easy
grown and paying crop. They
will make abundant crops after
oats and wheat. They are easier
made than cotton, easier gathered
and better for the land. You count
eighty bushels of potatoes per acre.
At market they are worth 70 cents
apv time, or in spring $l, but let's
saw rs cents. The crop is worth
$40 on the market or as much fed
TO hogs. There's no difference to
it. Can You make this with cot
ton? No, but you have The cotton
habit and think you can't quit.
The alfalfa field-Now is fine
time to begin to prepare that alfal-
ia patch which you should SOW this
September, and after that grain
crop is fine place to put it. BY
beginning now, by September you
should have the land in excellent
condition. Surely nothing would
nrofit you mole. Three years ago
there was no alfalfa in Pike County.
Today there are 200 acres. BY this
time next year there will be 5Oo
acres. Such blessing.
