LET THE PEOPLE VOTE.

Several years ago a movement was
started to move the state capitol to
Macon. 1t was received in a more or
less spasm of humor by people over
the state, and especially in Atlanta.
But different story is related now
for Atlanta is getting busy. If news
paper reports give an accurate re-
view of the situation, Macon is gain
ing and Atlanta has reason to fear the
momentum of the movement.
1t is planned that the proper legis-
lation be enacted at the approaching
session of the general assembly, and
from best accounts it will receive
hearty support and possibly sufficient
votes to bring the matter before the
people.
In view of the wide discussion the
people want to vote on the question.
They want to be given an opportunity
to decide this discussion and end it
for some time.
Macon is the logical place for the
capitol, and when the people vote on
the question there is favorable like
lihood of the selection of Neon as a
site for the new capitol. The leading
city of Bib is so situated geographic
ally as to present predominating
claims for the capital.
The capitol should be in Macon.

FAVORS SELLING STATE ROAD.

The Carroll County Times is another
newspaper to join the ranks in favor
OF the sale of the states railroad. The
Times-Recorder was one of the first
papers in the state to declare in favor
of the sale of the road, its views are
we'll known. 1t is with feeling OF
pardonable pride that other papers
are falling into line in an advocacy OF
sound business principles and the
practice Of square dealing and justice
to ALL The Times says:
THE Times is thoroughly convinc-
ed that the state of Georgia has no
business to own piece of property,
no matter what that property may be,
whether farm or railroad, when it
holds it only as an investment, and
must needs get somebody else to OPP
crate it.
What would the farmers of the
state think were the state of Georgia
to acquire the ownership of fine farm
of few thousand acres valued, say at
$15,OOO,OOO to $2O,OOO,OOO, lease it to
Gonna largo a0ynoro4;oo 40 NJ. IT,.
land mill owners to plant in cotton to
compete with Georgia farmers in pro-
ducing cotton. There would be a great
outcry from the mountains to the sea-
board and we fear the Brooks county
farmers might use dynamite or some-
thing else to put an end to the compe-
t;tion.
NOW that it just what the state is do
ing in her little 13S-mile railroad. She
can't successfully operate; that was
Proven years ago. She lost money on
it till she leased it to a great corpora
ton Of capitalists who do not live in
the state, who operate it not for the
benefit of the people but for their own
benefit. The legislature was convened
last summer in special session to en-
act law, prohibiting any one building
parallel line to this road, so that thus
the profits of their leasehold would be
increased.
Then let us go out of the railroad
business until the state is prepared to
take over or buy all of the railroads
within her borders and operate them"
The position of the Times is well
taken. If Georgia is to continue in
the railroad business, why not go at it
right, acquire all of the roads in the
state and operate them. Only in this
way can she do a square, honest and
legitimate business, for as she is oper-
ating now, she is doing so to the detri-
ment of the people of that section
through which the state road runs.

TO EARL KITCHENER.

The London Times printed the fol-

And face the countrys peril where

HOW TO PREPARE, PLANT AND
CULTIVATE IRISH POTATOES

Fall potatoes: One of the most prof.
liable crops, and one of the most use
full that canibe possibly be planted or
our Southern farms, is the fall croI
of Irish Potatoes.
Many people who have tried plant.
ing this crop continue to do SO, and
the interest is increasing. This crop Ii
different from the spring crop, will
keep almost indefinitely as they can be
housed in barrels; in an ordinary cell
lar, barn or any other dry cool place
and are convenient for use throughout
the entire winter, and will keep per-
fectly until June and July, when they
are ready for seed that a perfect stand
can be secured from. Therefore, this,
the Lookout Mountain Potato has been
grown year after year strictly for fall
planting, and the seed harvested in
October and November are best for
fall planting.
A perfect stand can be secured from
this seed as they are sprouted by June,
ready to terminate Immediately after
being painted in the ground. They
will not make in the spring, as their
habits have been completely changed
owing to the continued fall planting
for more than 220 years.
The Lookout Mountain Potato ia
sound and firm, there never being any
black hearts among them; also free
froIa scab. They are the best to keep,
heavy yielders, are mealy and the
very best Of table potatoes.
One of the principal reasons why
people should plant this potato ex-
tensively is because they cam be cul-
tivated at time when labor is usually
plentiful, and not much else to do on
the farm. Furthermore, their keeping
quality is another reason why you
should plant them and you are never
bothered with the dreaded bugs with
this crop, as they do not propagate
during the cool nights of September
and October.
If the following instructions are
carried out you can easily produce
from 100 to 200 bushels per acre on
good land. The proper way to plant
and cultivate them, for instance; after
grain crops have been harvested the
stubble land is ideal for growing these
potatoes. The ground should be first
roughly broken with a 2 to 4-inch
scooter, narrowed thoroughly with q
disk harrow, and a few days after this
ground should be turned deep with q
two-horse pillow; narrowed thoroughly
and either rolled or dragged. Every
5 and days a weeder or peg-toothed
harrow should be run over the ground
to keep it open and moisture circulat-
ing in the seed and. Any time after
the 5th of July to the goth Of August
for middle and south Georgia Is the
proper time to plant as 1t requires
about 80 days for them to mature.
w. ]. Josey has limited amount Of
these potatoes on hand, put in your
order to be In time. adv.
