Mr. Bryan and Colone) Jonea and ?he legislative committee cot out^ there and the others drove off. Ool. Bryan was given a few minutes to rest and refresh himself. Then, in Oolonel Jones's parlor, r Editor Koester, of the Record, presented to Mr, Bryan Editor | X t MM /ASTE LANCASTERTsrS AygJ, of the Florence Times, and Drlf Covington and McLeod, a committee representing the citizens of Florence, who cordially invited Mr. Bryan to visit, that city. Mr. Bryan regretted that his arrangements precluded the pos sibility of acceptance of their invitation. He said South Carolina was an absolutely safe Chicago platform Democratic State and no mission ary work was needed in this State, except at Charleston whereas there were many other states where missionary work was badly needed, consequently he would not have to come to South Carolina at all but for the invitation of the legislature, and, while he was flattered by the desire for him to speak in the state, he must hurry on, only stopping to speak tonight in Charleston. At this p iint, Editor Hemphill, of the News and Courier, W. W. Simons, W. H. Parker, John D. Cappelmen and George Legare, a committee of Charleston citizens, called and formally presented the invitation for Mr. Bryan to speak in Charleston tonight, an invita tion he had already signified hie intention of accepting. Each of the Charleston committeemen had a silver dollar pinned on the lapel of his coat. Mr. Bryan joked them a little about their badges and hoped that the vote of Charleston would be cast for the principles which the silver badge would be supposed to typify. About 1 p. ra. Mr. Bryan drove to the chapel of the South Carolina college,accompanied by Col. Jones and the leg islative delegation. At the chapel, which was filled to overflowing with ladies and students, he was welcomed by the faculty. u .. ... a i i ? t > v?'" >y iin i hi i "iiiul'u uv uepre sentative T. F.

He said he was always glad t;> speak to students, because their minds were receptive. Older men frequently got into ruts, after being in the battle of life, out of which it would take a derrick to lift them, but students minds were open for impressions. Whenever asked if college education unlit ted a man for the duties ot life, he always replied : "No, not unless being at college developed a boy's self esteem fas ter than the gray matter in his brain." He impressed upon the boys the necessity of regarding college education as only a preparation for the real duties of life. He paid some neat compliments to women. He said a marBRAVE MEN FALL Victims to stomach, liver and kidney troubles as wel' as women and all feel the results in loss of appetite, puisons in the blood, backache, nervousness, headache and tired, listless, run-down feeling.

No plant introduced in recent years lias received so much favorable notice as the Velvet Bean, nor is there a plant more worthy of the earnest attention of t.h? Southern farmers It belongs to the Legume family and as a nitrogen gatherer easily stands at the head of the list. The Alabama Experiment Station tested it thoroughly, and found that the vines from an acre contained 201 lbs. of nitrogen, and when turned under would equal in fertilizing value an application of 2,800 lbs. ot cotton seed meal. The plot on which the beans were grown?a poor sandy loam?was planted in oats the year following and yielded 34 bushels per acre, whereas and adjoining plot where crab grass had been plowed under yielded only eight bushels, the plot being worked and cultivated in indentically the same manner. Huudreds of farmers report equally satisfactory results on all kinds of crops following the beans. On the poor, thin land of Florida the results in improving the soil have been little short of m ^ rtrnl/Mia ui?i ? oiuuo. The Velvet Bean will grow in all the Southern states, on the poorest soils, and yields an enormous crop of vines. As a stock feed it far exceeds cow-peas in nutritive value, and will yield three tons of hay or 1,500 pounds of shelled beans, equivalent to the same weight in cotton seed meal in analysis. By planting this great crop as a rotation the fertilizer bills can be reduced one half, as it will be necessary to supply crops following with potash and phosphoric acid only, the beans supplying sufficient nitrogen from the air. 1 The bean will be worth millions to collars to the South in restoring wornout cotton fields and poor lands, and every farmer should plant some this year if only for experiment;!! purposes.
