There la uot one, aavo possibly that of the chief executive, which la more re sponsible, which la more genuinely powerful, which la more dignified, than thla office. With that high conception of tbe truat, I feel to~ nlghtt more fully the honor of that election when you bring me with auofi aluceriiy your approval of the aervlce. if aucceaaful It haa been more to your aplendld cooperative sympathy than to my individual ef fort. "iielieve me to bo sincere when I nay to you that, distinctly honor able at all tlmea to fill thla posi tion, it haa been to me a distinct honor to receive It at your handa. Gentlemen, It la no idjo expression which '1 fancy to be appropriate to this occaalon, but an observation which haa extended over many year*, which prompts me to aay that the people of this Btate will rarely return to this hall for legis lative service men who are more pa triotic, more conservative, better balanced, poaaessed of more ability, than the men who compose the pre sent house.

"It 1h for that reaaon that I re gard my elevation to this office and your approval of the service aa a highly distinguished honor. But your generous spirit, manifested in tho approval of my official course, haa yielded further to Its kindly promptings, and brings to me with touching and cordial sentiment, these tokena of peraonal regard. I have never before in my experience in life, in my dealings with men, been more utterly powerless to ex prqas tho feellnga of my heart than I am on this occasion. "But, gentlemen, In that very woaknosa I find a tribute, silent and eloquent, to the depth and ain cerity of that gratitude which I feel, for this expreaslon of your goodneas. Those tokena mean to me that tho miatakea of a difficult official requirement are looked up on by you as being honest; that the efforta havo been fair and Impar tial; that tho course has been sin cere; that my conduct in thla chair and what ia worth more to me, out of It, haa been worthy the roapect of men who are good and true.

Entirely too little attention Is* pal to the garden by our South Carolina farmers. In the mad rush to grow as much cotton as possible the gar den is lost sight of to a great ex tent. If one-half acre la planted in garden cropa on good soil and given good fertilisation and cultiva tion, it will produce as much profit as a whole acre of cottOn. One year's trial with accurately kept ac counts will convince any' one that the above etatmeent Is true. The greatest mistake made by those who pay some attention to tlxe garden lies in the fac? that they plant the whole thing a^t one time ? Just as if it were a cotton field. The result' is an abundance of vege tables for a few weeks, and that is the end of the garden until the next year. This should not be the case. A succesion of one or more of the following varieties should be planted: Alaska, Lightning Excelsior, and Champion of England garden or green peas. Hodson green pod, Black Valen tine, New Pencil pod Black Wax snap beans. Extra early, Egyptian, Crimson Glow, and Detroit dark red beets. Half Long, Danvers carrots. Charleston Wakefield, Early Jer sey Wakefield, all seasons, and larg Late Flat Dutch cabbage. Early Green Cluster, Improved Long Green, Thorbum's Everbearln cucumbers. Country Gentleran aand ordinary field varieties of corn. Black Beauty, and Florida High Bush Egg plants. Cabbage, Big Boston, and Improv ed Hanson lettuce. Extra Early, White Pearl, Prize Taker, Soutthport.Whlte Golbd onion' Boll, Ruby Giant, Red Cluster peppers. Hollow Crown parsnips. French Breakfast, Cardinal Globoe Crimson Giant: radish. ? Long Season and Norfolk Savoy spinach. Mammoth Sandwich Island salsify or oys;er plant. Thorburn's Earliest, Spark's Ear Uana, early tomatoes. Stone, Acme, Perfection, and Enor Uious, general crop or late tomatoes. Irish Cobbler, Red Bliss, and Ear ly Rose Irish potatoes. The average farm garden should bo about one-half aero and should be long and narrow If it is the in tention to do any cultivating with the horse plow. A piece of ground 80x27 0 feet will be approximately one-half acre and is tho right shape. A garden of this size will givo plenty of room for a few water melons, can taloupes, Irish potatoes, etc. If the late vegetables follow the early ones two or more crops can be grown on all of the ground each year. For this sized garden one should purchase about 1 quart snap beans, 2 ounces beets, 3 packages cabbage, 1 package carrots, 1-2 gal lon corn, 1 ounco cucumbers, 1 pack age egg plants, 2 packages lettuce, 2 ounces onions, 1 package parsnips 1-2 gallon garden peas, 2 packages peppers, 3 pecks Irish potatoes, 3 ounces radishes, 1 ounce spinach, and 3 packages tomatoes. I wish specially to urge our peo ple to grow more winter vegetables. There is no reason In the world why several kinds of vegetables could not be had from the garden every month in the year. Cabbage, collards, oyster plant, parsnips, kale spinach, etc., ? are vegetables that should be found in the garden dur ing tho winter. Prof. L. A. Niven, Asst. in Horticulture. Clemson College, S.
