Economy In Planling.

An economical method of planting
potatoes by cutting out the eyes for
reproduction purposes, and the use
of the remainder of the tuber for
the table is described in the weekly
news letter of the department of ag-
riculture. The prospective potato
raiser is advised to cut out of the po-
tato cone.seaped bits, each containing
an eye. 1t is estimated that in this
way from three-fourths to four-four-
tbs of the potato can be saved for
food without detriment to the seed
supply. 1t is also pointed out that
the seed cones can be cut out from
day to day and preserved for plant
ing time, thus avoiding surfeit of
potatoes for any one day or week.
In the days when potatoes were so
cheap that they were looked on as a
poor mans friend, the idea of econo-
mizing in the cutting of the slices

'Where will it all end?"says Mr.
Milliken, writing from 1l40 Mon
roe Street, Hammond, Ind.
"Our factories here are pushed
with orders until they are all but
frantic and now with fresh wave
of prosperity headed our way, it
looks as though we would be fairly
submerged with work. There are no
men here begging for days work,
but there are countless numbers
praying for day off. Everyone is
overworked trying to keep up.
Il was myself so overworked and
run down that thought for a time
/ was going to collapse. My nervous
system was so impaired that my
work became absolutely repulsive to
me and l simply had to drive myself
almost under lash to accomplish
anything.
"A friend from Birmingham said
to me one day: Why, Milliken. 1
know just the very thing for you.
It's not made by anyone it's simply
a natural remedy product, but it is
distributed from my own town, and
it is almost unbelievable what it
will do in building up the nervous
system
He told me it was called Suffer-
ro-Sol and sent for a bottle. Ihave
never taken a tonic or heard Of one
that produced such astonishing re-
suits in so short a time. 1t put me
right on my feet, and actually gave
me new life. To those who are in
need of an energizing tonic, ,Sulferro-
Sol is the one greatest remedy in
this country" "

mended by all druggists at Kings

Not Our Problem.

Certain cities of the North are be-
coming greatly exercised over the
influx of negro population from the
South.
The Philadelphia North American
said in a recent issue that migration
of more than 100000 negl loes from
the South to Philadelphia and other
Northern cities has brought about
the most acute situation with which
housing experts, social workers and
public health officials have never had
to contend" A meeting was held in
that city attended by representatives
of the city government. Associated
Charities, Travellers Aid society real

tors and others; but whenitadjourn-
ed the solution of the problem SEEM
ed as far in the hazy distance as when

There was lot Of talking, and the
oriziDg and speculating, ,butno action.
because no one seemed to know what
ought to be done.
The influx of colored people,
says Zed H Copp, general secretary
of the Associated Charities of Cam
den. N jim a letter to The Constitu-
ton, is startling, and disturbing So
cial conditions in our cities. 1t
seems to me there should be some
way of controlling an exodus that
doubtless involves loss to the South
and furnishes purplexities to the
North
Il am writing to ask you to ascer-
tain what is inducing this immigra-
tion," Mr. Copp continues, and he
asks The Constitution to please have
it carefully investigated, so that the
volume may be reduced to include
only those negroes who are financial
" able to take care. of themselves
when they reach here, until they find
employment, or to such who leave
to take definite places of remunera-
tive employment"
The cause is not Southern, but
purely of Northern, origin, and ls
very simple of explanation.
For many months experienced and
trained labor agents of the industrial
enterprises and the great railroad
systems of the North have been all
over the South engaged in the effort
to take the negroes North. They Of
fer all kinds of alluring inducements,
and have engaged hundreds of local
agents to continue their work of con-
yincing the negroes that it is to their
interest to 50.
Free railroad transportation was
offered the negroes. and pictures Of
golden hue were dangled before the
susceptible eyes of the colored folk

diary, before that ion-hearted Tennessean
laid down the pen forever, and took up his
rifle to meet the incoming enemies of Texan
independence.
If there ever has been time in this coun-
try when we needed a re-baptlsm In fearless
patriotism, that time is now!
Rise to the occasion, my countrymen! -
The Jeffersonian has done what the back
woods lawyer did in Virginia, when the big
rich, and the high officials, and the blue-blood
arlstocrats sought to howl him down with
cries Of ''TREASON."
| have endeavored to show you aUh0t your
rights are, and to nerve you to make manly
stand for them.
The Constitution forbids Congress TO de-
prize me aqsd you Of that right.
And I will not believe, until after it shall
have been done, that an honorable man, like
Gov. Alexander NJ Dockery, OF Missouri
the 3rd Assistant Postmaster General-will
hold, that Congress has the right to penalize
parliamentary criticism of the Government,
and to practically confiscate q publishing
companys property without due process of
law"
The Jefersonian has NOT been shut OIL. OF
the mails.
Postmasters who usurp and abuse power,
and who take it upon themselves to decide
that the paper cannot be delivered, are viozot-
ing the za1O.
We haven't yet reached the point where the
postmaster is the Government.
The y. S. Courts do not shield y. S. officials
who act outside their authority; and such
men can be handled in the State Courts when
ever they get too big for their breeches, and
violate State laws.
Our subscribers at each office should take
a firm position with these autocratic post
masters; and when any of them refuse to de-
liver The Jeffersonian, take the matter up by
telegraph, at once, with the P. O. Department
at Washington.

AS 10 Closing the Mails 90 The
JefasrSOn1an

PEADERS of this paper know, that its
\ Editor-in-C Chief took the posltlon-after
the Lusitanta massacre, May 1915,-that our
Government should break off relations with
Germany, seize the German aliens as
hostages, and begin sea-war against the law
less German and Austrian U-Boats
For two years, that was the stand of The
Je1fersonian; and the dailes, which now
want to see our paper destroyed by an order
of the p. O. Department. violently abused
me because of my anti German attitude
On February Goth, Of this gear, President
Wilson went before Congress- and took prac
tically the same position which The Jeherso-
MAN had been occupying two years!
These facts cannot be disputed.
Not one word of criticism of the Pres-
dents speech of Feb. Goth appeared in this
paper!
Excepting his demand for absolute power
during the recess of Congress. his position
was then what thought it ought to be.
At that time, the Conscri ption storm was
not even forecasted.
On the horizon, there was no sign of any
such cloud.
Nor was there whisper of lending armies,
to do other folks fighting.
Even when the word "Conscript" began
to be heard, [ remained incredulous, and did
not believe that Congress would pass so
revolutionary measure.
And you vii remember that, when the
CONSUMPTION bill WAS rushed over Congress,
nothing was said about sending these young
men to their death, beyond seas
Step by step, the great game was played
on us, each card being put down, separately,
and the others concealed from view
If the President had told Congress and
the country, last October, that he meant to
plunge us into the land-war, he could not
have been elected.
If the President had told Congress that
dccl0ruti0n, to the effect that we were in
state Of war with Germany, ac0uM ncceS8ttate
COnSc1Tpt50n, it is not easy to believe that
Congress would have adopted the declaration.
1t was not fact we were not at war with
Germany
We have gone more than 5000 miles from
home to make war Oh her, m0lo; but at that
time (April g. we were not at war.
We 2cerc not ecen fighting on sea, about
the blockade
Therefore, the fiction which the President
prevailed upon Congress to make fact, could
not have become one, had Congress known
the consequences.
Not knowing that Transcription was the
hidden purpose, Congress converted the fc-
ton into fact, by occurring the acar.
Then, not knowing that Consumption
meant the sending of millions of American
soldiers to do what European troops had been
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1917-08-02
THE JEFFERS ONIAN

After that fatal measure had been driven
through by tremendous pressure, the whole
fearful scheme stood uncovered!
The declaration of the state Of war paved
the way for Conscri ption; and CONSUMPTION
paved the way for sending armies to Europe.
[ put this fair question to your common
sense:
H0ao naaqav votcs qcouzd wilson haze got,
last November, had he gone through the
country, TELLING THE PEOPLE THAT HE IN
TENDED TO DO WHAT HE HAS DONE!
Suppose, in his speech of Feb. 26, 1917,
latter he had received notice Of the German
U-Boat broken pIedges,") that he wanted
millions of our young men conscrlpted and
sent to fight in foreign lands, do you believe
that Congress aoould haze stood for 1t?
If part of the programme had not been
kept hidden, do you believ the whole terrible
programme could have been put over on us?
The Supreme Law guarantees me freedom
Of expression; and it is mans natural right
to think for himself
Believing the new laws to be subversive
of our constitutional liberties, | began to say
so, and to say aohy. 1t was my duty, as well
as my right
Mine was not captous opposition, but
one based upon the plain letter of our SUI
preme fundamental law, to which Congress
and the President are pledged by solemn
oaths
Therefore, everything printed in the pa
per, has contemplated legal TEST IN couyt,
and legal PROTEST, IN peGce0ble assemblies!
To close the mails to me on account of this,
would be tantamount to enforcing the old
royal adage of ''the King can do no wrong"
If the citizen may not criticise what he
thinks is wrong, and resort to law, for re-
dress, then we must quit boasting that this
is free country.
Arbitrarily, The Jefersonian was thrown
out-and [ presume destroyed-by the post
masters of Savannah, Tampa, Montgomery
Macon, and Cornela.
The zaqU does not authorize them to do this!
They can be prosecuted for it, in the y. S.
Courts!
How the P. O. Department may deal with
this outbreak of Kaiserism among its distant
employees, remains to be seen.
The Jeffersonian has made many enemies.
ON proud Of 1t!
Every man that ever took an aggressive
stand for Right has made legions of foes,
because God so made the world that the Devil
retains command of countless hosts.
If you line up with the angels of Light,
you are the target of the imps Of Darkness.
Always, this has been So always, it will
be so, until the Almighty sees fit to blast
Satan with bolt that will put him out
of business

Special Privilege don't love The Jetfersonian;
nor do / lore THEM.

Upon my natural rights as man, and my
constitutional rights as a citizen | take my
stand. and am just ready to die for them
as my forefathers were.
