''At 9:20 o'clock the house re
solved Itself into a committee of
the whole. Mr. Mower was called
to the chair. Mfe, lirowning offered
the following resolution;
' "Be It resolved, First, That the
thanks of this bouse be tendered
to James A. Hoyt, our efficient
clerk, bis associates on the stand,
and other attaches of the house and
to the chief clerk of the engross
ing department and bis fair assist
ant* for their faithful, prompt and
skillful service iu the discharge of
their duties.
" 'First, That the house record
? its appreciation of the fair and im
partial report of the proceedings of

culty of presiding over "many men
of many minds," which Speaker M
? L>. Smith bad done with dignity and
fairness.
"Mr. Stevenson complimented the

clerks.
"Mr. Osborne also expressed his

"Hpeaker BmUb, In a abort, well
pb rased addret m?, thanked the mem
ber* of this bouse for tbeir appro
val of bU service.
Hywkw'i Kcply,
"Gentlemen of tbe Houso of Repre
sentative*;
"For six year*, my legislative ex
perience which began in 1900, 1
have endeavored to perform aa
faithfully as I could the high trust
luipoaed lo tbla chair. There 1* no
office In our political syatem wboae
requirements are more exacting?
whose duttea are mora arduoua than
that of apeaker of the house'. 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. (Applause.)
Smith might Homo day preside over
tho congress of the United States.
"Mr. Oaborno was applauded.
"Mr. Klbler spoke pf Speaker
Smith's Justice and impartiality in
all hit} rulings.
"Mr. Mansfield said that ho
?thought he could express tho senti
ment of tlio house toward Spoakor
Smith when ho said 'We lovo him.'
"Mr. Hamilton added hin tribute
to those already paid Speaker Smith
as did Mr. Wyche, Mr. W-itKoe, J.
M. Daniel for tho Greenville dele
gation, Mr. Cary, W. L. Daniel, Mr.
Hill, Mr. Dick, Mr. I'oeples, Mr. Wil
Hams, Mr. Klrkland, Mr. Dobson,
Mr. Heaves for tho Clarendon dele
gation and Mr. Ashley.
"Other members who wished to
second tho resolution, wore author
ized to do so in tho journal. By a
rising vote, tho reslutioon commend
ing Speaker Smith was unanimous
ly adopted.
"Mr. Mower presented to Speaker
Smith the resolutions of commenda
tion on behalf of the house.
"Rising to a question of personal
privilege, Mr. Drowning prosented
to Speaker Smith the china pitcher,
which has been in tho houso since
Reconstruction days.
"Mr. Arnold then presented to
Spoaker on tho part of the houso
a handsomo silver pitcher as a to
0*
A High Honor.
"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.
They mean to me that you permit
me to carry with mo as wo separ
ate, your frlendahlp and your con
fidence, and If this bo true I ahall
find in them a groat encouragement

1'uinters us Gardening From < *le?n
son College Kxteoskm Work.
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.
