TO THE BUYING PUBLIC:

TO THE BUYING PUBLIC:
A situation almost acute in its nature has
arisen in connection with Georgias sweet
potato crop.
Thousands upon thousands of bushels of
Porto Rican Vans, and few other varieties,
were raised in Georgia during the past season.
Sweet potatoes were turned to as money
crop by thousands of farmers in Georgia when
the boil weevil made its ravages on our cotton
crop. A tremendous crop has been grown and
gathered, and the farmers Of this state are en-
titled to just remuneration for their work
entitled to fair consideration, and to the CO.
operative assistance of the buying public.
Unfortunately, in many sections, due to lack
Of definite and correct knowledge in curing
methods some of the potato crop has not been
handled in such a way as to insure its keeping
for any great length Of time AS a consequence
thousands upon thousands Of bushels-carload
upon carload-of Georgia sweet potatoes are
now being offered on the market. Their sale,
just at this time due to the condition of the po-
totoes themselves is almost a necessity, in
order that the farmers Of Georgia may realize
even moderate amount of theirlabor
The l. W. Rogers Company is doing all it can to help
farmers dispose of their sweet potato We being
beseged daily with requests from growers all the
to let them ship many carloads Of
only limited amount We wish could han
die the entire crop of every farmer Georgia They
deserving of it.
And while selling great of pota-
toes using every and grade practically all Of
the that reaches still find that occasionally
few bad potatoes may slip by But doing best
cannot only help the farmer dispose of about the
only crop he has just now-but insure the best
of potatoes for customers.
We handling this crop this time at practically
profit to ourselves, We standing even a loss
cases-due to deterioration and other causes.
OUR PURPOSE IN THIS ANNOUNCEMENT IS TO
CALL YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS SITUATION
TO URGE UPON THE Buying PUBLIC TO BUY AND
EAT MORE SWEET POTATOES.
IN FACT, LET'S HAVE r. SWEET POTATO WEEK
OR A MONTH THEY ARE AN ECELLENT FOOD
THEY CAN BE PREPARED IN A DOZEN DELIC-
IOUS WAYS.
WHO WOULD SWAP A SWEET, DELICIOUS,
JUICY BAKED POTATO, JUST FROM THE OVEN
WITH GOOD FRESH BUTTER MELTED UPON IT.
FOR ANY SORT OF DISH?
WHAT IS MORE TEMPTING OR PALATABLE
THAN FRIED SWEET POTATOES FOR BREAK
FAST? WHAT IS RICHER, MORE PALATABLE OR
MORE INVITING THAN DELICIOUS PIECE OF
POTATO CUSTARD-OR A BIG POT PIE, OR a
FINE POTATO PUDDING? OH, THERE ARE MANY
WAYS IN WHICH THEY ARE DELICIOUS. BUY THEM
AND USE THEM
And while purchases of potatoes just now will
mean but little to the Rogers Company will mean GREAT
DEAL to the farmers Of Georgia.

PASS RESOLUTIONS
AGAINST DANCING

At a recent service at the
local Baptist Church the follow
ing resolutions we're passed in
reference to dancing:
Whereas, the Scriptures
teach that we should avoid even
the appearance of evil, and fur
thermore that worldliness and
revellings are sinful and dis
honoring to God e Thess. 5:22,
l Jno. 2:15 and Gal. 5:21;)
"Whereas, mature Christ
ians everywhere firmly be-
lieve that the modern dance
falls under these scripture
prohibitions, and that in it are
many lurking evils endanger-
ing the morals of all indulging
therein; and,
"Whereas, there are other
forms of amusement less harm
full and more helpful than the
dance; therefore be it
Resolved by the Wiggins
Baptist Church in conference
assembled with sincere SYM
pathetic and abiding interest
il our young people, that We
hereby express it as our deep
conviction that no member of
this church should permit his
home or r,'ace of business to be
opened to the dance, or in any
other way encourage it. Fur
thermore, we earnestly counsel
and exhort all our young peo-
pie to abstain from participa-
ting in this very questionable
even improper amusement.
"Resolved further, that these
resolutions be spread on oul
church minutes and that atten-
tion of our entire membership
be called to the same"

NEGROES CAUGHT IN
KENNEDY WAREHOUSE

Two negroes, John Beasley
and Willie Bingham, were
caught in the warehouse of Ken
nedy & Company Monday even
ing just after the store was
closed. w. R. Hatten, salesman
in the store, found the negroes
and with Earl Wilson, another
salesman, took them into
custody and turned them over
to constable Black, who locked
them up in the county jail.
On two occasion, recently, a
small amount of cash which had
been left in the cash drawer over
night, was missing and it has
been the custom of Mr.. Hatten
to search the store, and the
wareroom in particularly, each
evening before closing.
1t was found that the negroes
had entered the store before the
closing hour and concealed them
selves in the wareroom, which
is dimly lighted. The large doors
in the rear can be opened from
the inside without key, and IN
this way the negroes could reg
lease themselves.
1t is understood that one of
the negroes admitted having en-
tered the store before. So far,
Mr.. Hatten said, nothing except
the small amount of caSh had
been missed A hearing was to
be given the negroes yesterday.
