Only one Of the failures was he-the
countless failures that come to every
Alaska town and die or soon depart.
He tried mining-and failed. He
tried freighting-and failed. He fell
to doing odd jobs about the town. He
was a Hkable chap, but unsUccess-

One day they found him dead in
his little shack on the outskirts of
Nome.
Miners tramped to the house to
pay their respeets-for he was lik-
able chap. They arranged to pay the
undertaken, and the clothing store
man, promised new suit OF black
clothes for his shroud.
They went through his papers, to
learn if there were relatives whom
they might notify.
Hidden in a cubbyhOle one miner
found a letter Of recent date. He
read it silently. Then he read it
aloud.
It came from his wife back in New
England and told of the baby that
the failure never had seen.
"When are you coming homer" it
asked. Baby and l have the finest
lot picked out on Maple blvd. and
there we will build our bungalow

No MAN OUGHT TO SUFFER
INJUSTICE IN AMERICA
BY President Wilson


America did not come into eHs-

ton in the family Of nations, to show
it's strength and to exercise it's mas
terry. America opened her doors to
everybody who wanted to be free AND
to have the same opportunity every.
body else had to make the most OF
his faculties and his opportunities;
and America will retain it's greatness
only so long as it retains and seeks
to realize those ideals. No man ought
to suffer injustice in America, no
man ought, in America, to fail to see
the dictates of humanity.-At Amer.

HOW TO PREPARE, PLANT AND
CULTIVATE IRISH POTATOES

i, Fall potatoes: One of the most prof
liable crops, and one of the most use
t full that can be possibly be planted on
, cur Southern farms, is the fall crop
of Irish Potatoes.
Many people who have tried plant
ing this crop continue to do so, and
the interest is increasing. This crop is
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 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 is
sound and firm, there never being any
black hearts among them; also free
from 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 can be Gull
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 to 4-inch
scooter, narrowed thoroughly with
disk harrow, and few days after this
ground should be turned deep with
two-horse pillow; narrowed thoroughly
and either rolled or dragged. Every
5 and days 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 9Th of July to the goth Of August
for middle and south Georgia is the
proper time to plant as it 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.

SPEAK RIGHT OUT.

This page has taken occasion in sew
eral instances to remark that Georgia
was headed for a warm political sea-
son, especially as refards the guber-
material situation. It is not falling
short, and for this condition the peo.
Ile can thank the candidacy of Joseph
Fl. Pottle.
The auburn haired statesman from
the whereabouts of McDuffie county
has come out flat-footed, tip-toed, red
eyed, mean as he is-all for Hugh M.
Dorsey. That adds interest.
"The Way" and the Commonwealth"
have seen fit to stand by the guns of
Governor Harris, which in itself gains
the enmity of some people.
And DR.. Hartman is using the At
lanta newspapers for advertising these
days. (The other portions of the state
press will certainly take offense il
their share is not shortly forth
coming.
But all of this has interesting adj
ton by a contribution from the Moul,
trie Observer:
Somebody's all the time wanting
the candidates to take a position on
the living issues" Of the day. Some
body is all the time calling for more
pep Some newspaper is every day
wanting more noise, and snap, and
platform from the candidate.
We suggest that the candidates ex-
press their position on the following
points
What would they have done had
they been in Governor Slaton's place,
with the Leo Frank plea for clemen-
cy?
Are you for or against the en-
forced dipping of COWS for cattle tick
eradication at county expense?
What is your attitude toward the
Catholic church?
How do you stand on To mWatson
Are you for liquor, under cover or
above-board?
Do you advocate the fence or the
no-fence
Did you vote for Joe Brown or for
Hoke Smith?
How do you stand on the PROPOSE
ton to remove the capitol to Macon?
Are you for free school books or
against them?
DO you advocate the state publish
ing its own school books?
Do you advocate compulsory edu-
cation?
Do you know Clayt Robson per-
sonally?
Can you describe Harry Rose?
How do you stand on the boil Vice.

Are you Methodist, Baptist, Pres
