OF INTEREST TO FARMERS.
Edited by T. II. Cathcart

The sweet potato can be grown
successfully in Williamsburg County,
and will be one of the crops to take
the place of cotton. It hasn't been
grown to any great extent due to the
fact that nearly every year over half
of the crop decays during the winter
months, but with the erection of five
or six large storage houses over the
county by the Williamsburg Market
ing Bureau, and the building Of many
smaller houses by individual farm
ers, we won't have to worry about
loosing our potatoes. The loss due to
rot in these storage houses is very
small, provided the potatoes are han
died correctly and are grown from
disease free potatoes. The Williams
burg Marketing Bureau will have a
bulletin on growing sweet potatoes
ready for free distribution by the
first of January. Be sure to secure a
copy of this bulletin.
The following statement, showing
expenditures and receipts, on four
acres of potatoes for the past season,
has been furnished me by Mr.. j. L.
Thomas, of Cades, Mr.. Thomas is the
largest grower of sweet potatoes in
the county, and has the best managed
sweet potato storage house in South
Carolina.

 Tn August frost killed most of the meagre acreage of grain that was sovn last year in this territory which is mostly forest. The secret food hoards were eaten months ago. LE'Tn- Der mills and other concerns which usually gave employment, have been shut down, and the peasant, with no source of revenue, has been digging every day into his money savings to buy the food that came in from abroad when the Allies landed There is no prospect of North Russia, feed ing herself until the next harvest and even this is made extremely diff cult by the shortage of seed grain.

PATRICIA'S TROOPS
 ARRIVE AT DEVENS

Aver, Mass, April 1S-Troops from the transport Patricia, which brought Twenty sixth Division units to Boston yesterday, arrived at Camp Devens last night and detrained by the light of gasoline torches. Groups of reIa- lives were on hand to greet them and the men whistIed and sang their way to camp.
 It is planned to give twenty-four hour passes to a per cent. of the men from the Patricia today and to another 25 per cent. on Saturday. Af- ter that no passes will be given any Twenty-sixth Division men, in ac- cordance with a ruling by Major General Harry c. Hale, division com mander, that no passes shall be is- sued after April 20.
 This means that half of the men who arrived or the Patricia. only a small fraction of those who will ar rive on the winifredian today and none who arrive on the battleship New Jersey next week will receive twenty-four leaves before being dis charged Leave until p. m-, how ever. probably will be given hberally on Sunday.

RACE ADJUSTMENT COMMISSION.

Is there any problem before the
American people more acute than the
one of race relationship? Is there
any problem that has been more neg
lected or s~idestepped? Would a COM
mission appointed by the President Of
the United States, by the authority OF
Congress, be the fitting thing at this
time? These are questions of first
importance, and require the most ser.
ious consideration.
Governor Frank o. Lowden, Of the
state of Illinois, as appointed an
euqally divided commission of Colored
and white citizens whose business 1t
will he to make an exhaustive study
of the troubles that resulted in the
Chicago riot, and to devise means for
friendly Race adjustment. The men
composing this commission are known
for their integrity, and patriotism, and
their work will be watched by many
other sections.
The problems OF race adjustment
should be lifted above petty political
preferment, and should be handled
with an eye single to the greatest
good to the greatest number, without
fear or favor. with th%Oroughness and
determination.
The President of the United States
should be given the authority to APP
point such o commission.
Newspapers and Magazines.
There was a time when the news
papers and magazines Of the Race
were regarded as jokes, or as a poll
teal asset around election times. Con
ditions have changed. The newspa
pers and magazines of the Race have
become a real factor, not only in
economic progress, but as a constant
and faithful expression Of the feelings
and will of the people.
Magazines of opinion, such as the
Literary Digest; daily newspapers Of
great Influence, in every section Of
the country. and the United States
Congress, keep a listening ear and a
scrutinizirg eye turned toward Negro
publications. In them, through news,
contributed articles, cartoons and edi-
torials. they have learned that we
have found ourselves.
These facts are further emphasized
by the marvellous increase in circul-
alton. and the advertising growth Of
ali publications. Negro journalism is
a field of opportunity, second to none
in progress and possibilities.

AFRICAN HISTORY.

BY Benz. V. LOngdOn.
The history of any race or country
ought to be precise. faithful, and I'M
preiudiced and neither interest, hat
red nor affection should make it turn
from the path of truth. Past histor-
ians often wrote the history of Africa
so as to give their personal impress
sions by incorrectly stating facts, and
thus making it impossible to deter
mine the truths of which detailed rec
ord is written.
Mr.. Rucker Smiths recent articles
in this paper have aided in lifting
Africa above the popular belief that
it remains a dark continent. The
facts presented prove that we cannot
Judge what a race or country is by
what it has been. The changing years
sap the life out of many a popular
belief and it is really good sense to
recognize every fact concerning Afri-
cas- advancement as oon as it be
m a fact. The African has often
been pushed into rather than pulled
out of darkness. Sincere helpers
have enabled him to use Christianity
as a guide; opening one eye on the
near objects, closing the other to all
objections.
The chief aim of Mr.. Smiths ar.
ticles is to reveal useful facts concern
ing Africa. We commend his effort
because he who conceals a useful
fact is equally guilty with the propa-
E9'nr of an injurious falsehoOd. His
articles are so simply written that
they can be understood by all. Every
child who has studied history or
geography has Africa and the African
lingering indistinct and doubtful in
his memory. Those who happen to
know the truth concerning Africa and
the African have no right to justify
themselves with the explanation
Everybody knows all about Africa"
In order to know all about Africa We
must read articles and books written
by men who are precise, faithful and
unprejudiced.
The last article by Mr.. Rucker
Smith, pertaining to Africa was that
of a courteous host who welcomes us
by setting before us his best wine, but
who limited at our privilege to inspect
the ample cellar from whence the
choice vintage had been drawn. Judg-
ing from this inference we would do
we'll to inspect the ample cellar at
1403 Walnut St, and purchase a book
of 237 pages relative to Africa and
the Liberian Republic.
