GOD BLESS THE FARMERS
FOR THE SWEET POTATOES!
The New Orleans Item insists that
all is not lost?that the sweet potato
is here to save; to comfort; to
cheer; to provide. Hear the Item:
Grin, you lovers of good things to
eat, you gourmands and native epicureans.
Grin, for the news is good.
Strikes to the North, strikes in the
East, more strikes in the West; coal
running low; trains breaking down;
roads still lost in the mud; elections
and dog-days upon us; all the trials
and tribulations of modern life are
ours; but grin, brethren, for out of
Baton Rouge comes the good news,
mormi'nrr Vlon PPrinET.
IUC owurnoiaui?5, - ? ?
stomach-pleasing news. Louisiana is
c raising a bumper sweet potato crop.
Ah! that reached you, didn't it?
Sweet potatoes, luscious, sugary,
"yeller yam" sweet potatoes! Man,
don't that tickle your palate in anticipation?
Sweet potatoes, boiled,
baked, fried and candied, but good,
however they be fixed. Hot roast
pork, flanked by the yellow beauties,
with a good gravy poured over all!
'Possum and potatoes! "Yeller yam"
potatoes, golden masses of melliflu
ous sweetness!
The coal strike will freeze us; the
rail strike is spreading; cold weather
is coming; the Republicans run the
nation and the whole darn country
is going to the demnition bow-wows
?but what does it matter? There's
bumper cr6p of sweet potatoes coming
out the ground.
> God bless the farmers!
The world does not appreciate the
sweet potato. The United States does
not. In the South we know its worth,
. but in the West and East and North
the people do not understand.
But the time will come when the
sweet potato will come into its own
?when it will become the principal
single article of food in America.
This will follow when there is more
work like the very admirable work
which the agricultural department
of the Georgia Railroad did in the
Northwest recently as to the sweet
potato.?Augusta Chronicle.

$3,000,000 Fire in Hominy Plant

destroyed the plant of the American
Hominy Company here, said to
be one of the largest of its kind in
the world. It was at first reported j
that two men had lost their lives in j
the fire but a check of employes
showed this report to be erroneous J
Eleven men, employes of ?he conpern
