farmers might see for themse ves the
what the beans would do I 'is- the
tributed several hundred p,ck- foil(
ages of see in different States. It 32.6
was late in the season when n ost and
of the seed were sent out and the
many failed to mature the seed fron
befor-e frost, but the enormou fiu
growth of the Tines and the oths
avidity with which stock ate pa
them attracted great attention besa
wherever grown. Those who star
planted early matured .the ue3ed can
in most instances. I will give a for
plan later on whereby the seed peri
may- be m-atured in th.e most eyem
northern latitudes, and once~ the well
seed are matured there they-will mon
ripen much earlier than the exte
Florida grown seed, owing to our yeai
long summers. ta
I have received so many letters my
recently asking for more infor- plai
mation about the beans and to a
save corresp)ondenice and for the of b
benefit of all who are initeres ;ed I ha
I have decided to write a gene- tons

have maide a close study of the of o

p,ranent has proven the velvet that

McLaurin's Candidacy. g
R. M. L , writing from Wash

'ourier:
Senator McLauriu's candicacy E
s not receiving much attention a
rom the South Carolina 'Cong
essmen for the reason that a
ajority, if not all of the mem- c
ers, have expressed the opinion 9
hat he will not enter the race. C
ome say the Senator will volun- '
arily keep out of the campaign ~
nd hereafter make -his home in 0
Vashington to practice law.
~nother theory, and one held by '
member in close touch with
e platns of the State Democratic i
ommittee, is that the Senator C
ill be ruled out of the primnary
t the state Convention. This1
ay be because of his refusal to
au~cus with the Democrats and
s acceptauce from the Repub- r
cans of committee assignments
r this season. Senator McLau- ~
'in himself is reticent about dis
ussing his plans, though he has
ot yet satid anything about with
