Anderson Partners \re Interested in Forage Plant Imported iVom ih?> Orient. The the kudsu plant will ?mw in poor .soil was the opinion expressed by A. R. Banks, of Columbia ami J C. Strlbllng of Pendelton, when thej met several days ago in Anderson. Several Anderson county farmers will plant kudxu. The following is from the Anderson Mail: "Col. A. R. Hanks of Columbia, who has boon in the city lor several days, , was very much interested in the dis? cussion of using kudxu as a forage crop In this section, lie was much surprised to find that one entire side I of ids home is coverd with this crop. ] He had thought il an ornamental vino, although his chickens ami Bel? gian hares and seven COWS have been nibbling at it and appear to lind it a delicacy. "While kuilzu or cudsoo seed must be obtained from Japan, yet the vine will grow from Just sta king B joint in the ground. It will not spread to any great extent, but the creepers where they fall upon the ground will take root. It is a peren? nial, although in the winter it sheds its leaves like the wistaria. Drought does not affect it and it will grow in the middle of a public road. As soon as Col. Hanks found out that it was a forage crop and not merely a shade, he decided to commence using fct for forage. "The Anderson Chamber of Com? merce today, through CoL .1. C, Strib ling of IVmlleton, issued the follow? ing statement about kudsu, which is a leguminous plant, a native of Ja? pan ami spelled cudzoo or kudzu: M 'Cudzoo, the socalled new forage plant, is on the order of the new pea and running vetch, excepting the cud? zoo vine lives through the winter, while the leaves and more tender shoots are killed by frost. M 'A well t ooled plant in good soil will on the second year send out vines from 20 to 10 feet long and under favorable conditions will take root in the soil at each joint or loaf, which forms o to 14 indes along the line. When the ground is rake 1 over closely the runners and uprights resemblini pea vines and should be mown for hay or green feed as often as the crop gets tall enough to make a good cut*] ting, which may be from three to four times a season. To mv know* ledge the first cudzoo vine grown in the United Slates ran over the Japa? nese porch at the Philadelphia ex? position. 1S70.

Senator Tillman made a speech Monday in opposition to woman suf? frage. "It is a beautiful dream," he said, "that female suffrage will purify politics.
