Reorganization of the finances ,o the state and relations between thi I races were the principal suo^cts dis cussed in both the inaugural addresse of Governor Thomas W. Hard wick an: the final message of the retiring gov ernor, Hugh M. Dorsey, to the legis lature last week. Governor Hardwick took the oath o office last week in an outdoor ceremo ny, the first held at the Georgia cap itol since Hoke Smith was inductei into office in 1907. The new govern or was accompanied to the rostrun I built on the west plaza of the capito 1 by Governor Dorsey and forme: i Governors Jos. M. Brown and Nat E , Harris, where the oath was adminisd istered by Judge Roscoe Luke, of th< Court of Appeals. Outbursts of applause several time: interrupted the new governor's firs address, and especially those refer I ences to the necessity for economy ii ; state affairs and his criticism of Gov ernor Dorsey's recent pamphlet 01 race relations in this state. No Real Basis for Charge. | "Georgia has recently been indict 1 ed," he said, "most unfortunately, an< ! I think unjustly, in the form of publii | opinion for mistreating the negro, fo: peonage and other kindred crimes,' I and, he declared, "there is no rea basis in truth and in fact, upon whicl the accusation can rest." He aai< there is no state and no country ii which a good law-abiding, peaceabh negro can live with more security i< his life than the state of Georgia." Governor Dorsey's reference to th' racial relations came in nis ciusuii message to the legislature, when h< declared mob violence should be sup pressed and by state authorities, fo i "if this is not done it is very prob | able federal intervention will not Ion; 1 be delayed." He pointed out tha since his induction into office in June | 1917, the newspapers have carried ac 1 counts of the lynching of fifty-eigh negroes in the state and said, "Fron ! sources which so far as I know ari ' reliable, I have information regr.rdinj i other lynchings not instituted in tha ; list.". 1 The retiring governor recommende< i that a state grand jury*- composed o ' citizens selected from all section: 1 should be provided for as a means o i combatting mob violence. He alsi urged that the governor be givei authority Jo remove any sheriff dere lict in his duties. , o ' Summer Legume Catch Crops. ; Clemson College. June 28.?If pos ? sible all stuble lands should -be seed ed down in peas or beans for soil im | provement at once where mcistun 1 conditions will permit, advises N. K Winters, extension agronomist, wh< | says that a summer legume catch croj ' of peas or velvet beans not only help ! to save plant food from leaching awa; | but also obtains from the air througl the bacteria living on their root large amounts of valuable nitrogei during the summer and fall months. , After the wheat and oats are har vested, bacterial action goes on in thi soil rapidly, making plant food solu ble and available for the use of plants If the soil is left bare for severa months, large amounts of expensive nitrogen are leached out by the sum mer rains and lost in the drainagi waters. Lysimeter experiments snov that where growing crops are kept 01 the land, only five or ten pounds o nitrogen are lost in the drainage waters annually; but that where lam is left bare, from seventy-five to om hundred and fifty pounds are lost an nually, depending on the climate, tern perature, and rainfall. Peas or beans may be planted broau cast and disced or in rows and culti vated, according to labor condition and the farmer's choice. One bushe or more of seed per acre is necessar; if planted broadcast; whereas, i planted in rows, one peck or less i sufficient. A method which Mr. Win ters has found successful is to throv out the stubble into the furrows wit a middle buster or lister and plan in rows in the bottom of these fur rows. The combined lister and plant I ei is very convenient for this purpost ; permitting the whole to be done a p one operation. > 0 . p Everybody: Let me do your insu J ranee business.

Lawrence and Oti . Drew were brothers-in-law and th ? Drews were brothers. Neighbors who were attending i 3 picnic about a mile from the Lawrenc t house, a log structure of only tw< . rooms, saw the blaze about 11:3' j o'clock. Two young men, the first t . arrive on the scene, were unable t ! enter the house on account of the fire but climbing a tree nearby could se the bodies lying on the floor. An examination of the bodies, whicl j were burned beyond recognition, show ; ed that one of the women bore wound; r that seemed to have been made b; " some sharp instrument.

This decision is the resul of a recent conference cf your Execu tive Committee with the directors o the South Carolina Sweet Potato As sociation, when our good offices wer placed at the disposal cf this affiliat - ed organization. The Board-Chamber's offer of assis - tance to the Potato Association fol e lows a close sti/8y of what is probab > ly the most urgent agricultural prob t lem confronting the state of Soutl ? Carolina at the present time. Las * year, less than 30,000 bushels (to b >' absolutely exact 35 carloads) of cur i eo sweet potatoes were shipped beyon s our borders. As a result of the "cro] i diversification" movement of the pas twelve months, it is quite possible tha - South Carolina ^ill have .500,000 bush ? els of this agricultural product fo which an outside market must b J *TAA1?

Besides, i will mean a big financial loss to th i state, especially the farmer who ha f already suffered great reverses, e The sweet potato is recognized a J the coming "money crop" of the south e Why? Here is the answer: In 1920 the cotton crop brough - $36.83, and corn $22.04, while in th same year sweet potatoes yielded ; return of $122.85 per acre. ; Up until the present time practical s ly no concerted effort has been mad 1 to enter the northern market or in V crease the southern consumption, a f the south has used practically all th s "pit", and recently the "cured" sweet - it produced. Yes, large quantities o v" sweet potatoes are marketed in north h ern markets from Xew Jersey, Dela t wave and the east shore of Virginia - one company alone sells 100,000.00 - bairels of "sweets" a year and think . nothing of it! t South Carolina will have to compet in thp northern markets during th fall months; but, with its deliciou . sugary "Poto Rico Sweet" one v known, it has nothing to fear and i _ can pu?h its product to the limit dui 0 ing the months of January, Februarj , March and April. The sweet potat ? can be and must be made one of th important cash crops of the state. This is the task confronting jou _ organization at the present time. Th r The announcement that it is to be ur dertaken under the "California Plan' as our first marketing activity, shoul - meet with the unaniomus approval o n every member of this organizatio I- and all other forward looking citizen of the state. h = 'i I READY SIR?WHERELl y | e i THAT PALM BEACH, MC I -=- SUIT SHOULD BE SPIO 4N1 I ING FOR YOU ON THE ] n I HOUR YOU WANT IT. o HOT DAYS ARE AHE.4 ' " GIVE US THAT SUIT TO C H AND HAVE WAITING FOR 1 s | IT COSTS BUT LITTLE.
