COOKING NO MORE People undoubtedly spend too much time bewailing the passing ot some "old Urns' thing. " But this, from the Augusta Chronicle, on old time south erh cooking, under the caption quoted. is Interesting: A New York concern has bought up a lot ot land down around Amerlcus on which to grow sweet potatoes to be canned. And that brings to mind two thluga, on ot which is that sweet potatoes cost mora than ,. twice as much in the land where they are grown aa they used to, and another that a number ot those palatable dlBhes of the old Southern housewife, which were made of sweet potatoes, are no more. The large farm which a New York canning company hus bought in Geor gia Is going to be used to produce 150,000 bushels or more ot potatoes to be put up In cans, hermetically sealed, of eight and ten pounds each which find ready sale at good prices, and. we folks who don't raise pota toes are going to buy pieces ot pota to pie made from canned potatoes- as we are already doing when we eat In a restaurant or hotel, and of ten in our own homes at 6 cents per cut. Meanwhile, there goes about million or more "pumpkin yams, which would or could, be turned Into a mighty fine part of. the dinner if "roasted In tbe Jacket," No canned potato can ever take its place, and no canning factory yet canning fao tortes are mighty good things In the business world can ever produce substitute for tbe old black mam my's "baked Hater." There IS a near approach to the potato-pie we used to eat from the far mer's table In the years now gone, In that served up to us from the "canned goods," If we stretch our Imaginations, and a concoction or substitution can be , produced that somewhat resembles the once fami liar and much enjoyed "candled yams." since the Inauguration ot -the tin covered product In place of the covering nature provided for the po tato in Its earliest age, but whether or not the "modern method ' has been the cause, It Is a fact that," sines can ned potatoes became "stylish," there has been a marked absence from our tables of tbe old-time "potato-pone" as delicious to the taste as It was beautiful in rich brown coloring to the eye when properly prepared All these things were distinctly Southern dishes, and common to the table throughout the greater part of the year; In those days when ws lived nearer next to nature than we do now: but, somehow, they are fast disappearing. We could have them still; and we could have the canned potatoes too; If we wanted them There's a plenty to produce potatoes enough for both; but the can seems to be the ahortest cut In the kitchen to a dinner, and, anyhow. It is becom lng more "stylish" than those old time ways but "potato pone" and "roasted yams" were mighty fine BELMONT TARGET FOR - A CAROLINA EDITOR HAMPTON, 8. C Oct 30. August Belmont, of New York, who has an es tate In the lower section of this -coun ty, Is bitterly denounced In the current number of the Farmers' Review, weekly newspaper published here, be cause of his effort to frustrate the movement of the native white people to create a drainage district. Draining the land would mar the picturesque ness of Mr., Belmont's game preserve. which Is largely swamp. Negro preachers are proclaiming that It would be a sin to change the land and mar God's handiwork, and Mr. Belmont Is accused of inciting them to obstruct tbe drainage project. Tbe negroes greatly outnumber the white population. Tbe Farmers Review suggests mat the Ku Klux methods of reconstruc tion times might be appropriate in dealing with Mr. Belmont s followers The native white people ot Hamp ton." savs the editor, "could not he blamed for Inviting Belmont and his white and black retainers oft of their land by using a buggy trace as a per suader," , The editor also saj: "Hen Tillman once said something to the effect that If you scratch the skin of a negro you'd find tbe beast close under. There seems to be also a short removal In natural tendency be tween the wealthy 'gentlemen' who come now to hunt wild game and tbeir Indigo abdomened sires of reconstruc tion times, when It comes to the use of tbe negro In South Carolina." NUMBER 2 OFFICIALS MEET TO DISCUSS THE;: PRICEJFCOnOO Governors of Several Sou thern States and Com" mlssioners of Rgricul ture Gather In New Or leans to Consider Grow ers' Interests, NEW ORLEANS, Oct. SO. Th4 governors of several Southern states with their commissioners ot sgrtcuV ture, met today to trams a way to In orease the price of cotton and find more economical means ot placing the staple on the market and getting adequate statistics beneficial to tha seller. The government will be nrg ed to provlae data and statistics con corning cotton consumption, stocks - In spinners' hands and accurate fig ures of foreign productions, 1 The most effective .means ot placing the farmer In control Of the cotton situation, according to Commissioner Kowne, ot Texas, is to cut down ths cotton acreage and go In for crop diversification. He would have ths planter grow such things as his family need and such things ss will yield ready cash, thus keeping cotton a "clear money crop." He says by this method ths farmer could hold his crop until he was satisfied with ths prios. The big point Involved, he says, Is that it would eliminate manipula tion ' Crltleltss Present Plsn. - 1 - Crlllajxlng the federal government's plan ot Issuing statistics of ths eottoa Industry, branding It as "one-sided," benefitting largely the speculator and manufacturers and working a deirt ment to ths producer, Clarence Oiis ley, editor ot the Fort, Worth Record, suggustod the establishment ot a Joint bureau of statistics by the Southern states as a remdlal factor. Ousley declared nine oent cotton means con flsoallon of the cotton farmer's labor, and submitted figures intended to show ths cost alone ot production la approximately eleven cents a pound. Ouslcy deolared while the govern ment Issues, statistics to show the) yield, acreage, etc, the producer Is ignored In statistics tiecause the fig ures do not Include the showing ot probable consumption. - lis says this allows the spinners to buy In the) tight white the farmer sells In the dark. ftor confining cotton acreage and maintaining prices Ousley sug gests if no other means is available he would favor an Interstate compact apportioning cotton production with uniform legislation, penalizing excess under a system of state constabulary . to pmscrlbe each man's acreage. Ths only immediate relief from low prices) and unfavorable marketing conditions, Ousley said, was to hold the staple. lie said easier borrowing . faclntles must be offered ths small planter In order that the crop may be marketed promaniy. - - To Consider Finsnes Plsn.
