CULTURE OF TEA IN THE UNITED STATEs.-We
have heretofore mentioned the experiment making by
Dir. James Smith. of South Carolina, Giving near
Greenfeld,) on the cultivation of the Tea Plant
''lH the fall Of 1913. about 500 plants were re-
ceived from China, via London, and in December
they planted in his garden. A considerable
quantity of tea seed planted at the time.
Notwithstanding the severe winter aud spriog, the
plants. which left TO take care OF themselves,
were unlia armed, and in foUrishing condi-
ton. Several specimens of the green and black
plant are in bud. The tea plant buds one year, but
does not fruit till the next Next year, Mr.. Smith
expects to pick tea, although his great object for
some time TO come. will be to increase the quantity
OF his plants. The tea seed planted a wrong
season. and did not amount to anything"
M. Smith estimates the annual consumption Of tea
in the United States TO be eleven millions of pounds
10 Europe fifty; total sixty-one millions. China
produces nine hundred millions Of pounds, of
which the Chinese export only about seventy millions
An of land will produce SAT pounds, conse-
quenly The cultivation of 20 100 acres Of land in the
fourteen teagrowing States will supply the present
consumption Of the United States. TO supply Eu-
rope would require 81, All acres Of land. He sup
that there fourteen of Stetes that would
grow tea, and that Ill $50 of land, cultivated
as tea plantations, averaging 1865 for each of the
fourteen States, will supply The consumption of the
article both for Europe and the United States"

ANOTHER RAILRoAD.-The citizens of Iudianapo-
lis are making movement towards the construction
of Railroad direct to indianapolis, (from Cincin-
years may witness the realization of what were
sidered the vagares of Ex-Gov. Ray, who insisted
that Indianapolis was the centre of the world. and
that Railroads would radiate from il in every d.
rection like the rays of light. There is method
sometimes even in madness.-Goshen Dem.
Aside from the question of Rays insanity, it is
not very uncommon thing for the world to infer
that men who are ahead of the times crazy vision
aries; perhaps not more uncommon than the conclu-
sion. on the other hand, that those who behind
the times. are fools. Who was it, that maintained
that all mankind were more or less insane Perhaps
juries are oftener right than wrong in acqultting
criminals upon the plea of monomania.

State Officers.

We see the names of DR.. Ellis of the Goshen De-
mocrat, Maj. d. Mace of Lafayette, and Gen. Rey-
nUlds announced candidates for the office of State
Auditor. aud the names Of Gen. Drake and B. R.
Edmonstun for State Treasurer. All these
good democrats and well qualified to ill the du-

For Slale Printer we with the Columbus Democrat

Chapman lift for that station. This we believe is
the unanimous expression Of the democratic press
throughout the State. We think that the vote of
Wash ngton county is pretty sure for the Chapmans
next winter.-Sdlem Democrat.
Col. James p. Drake is announced as a candidate
for Treasurer of State. We have no doubt but that
he would fill the Office with ability. Benz. R. Ed
monston, of Dubois county, has been named for the
same staton.-Delphi Times.
Hon. B. r. EDMoSsToN.--We are authorized to
say that the Hon. Benjamin R. Edmonston, of Dubois
county, will be a candidate for the Office of State
Treasurer. before the next Legislature.

INDIGo-Curious Fact.--Tbe Indigo plant was
native Of South Carolina. It grew spontaneously
among its weeds and woods. More than one hundred
years ago the planters there commenced its cultiva
tion. In the year l725 South Carolina exported to
Great Britain 100000 pounds, and the Parliament
granted bounty Of twelve cents per pound to induce
its greater cultivation. In 1851. Indigo was one Of
the staples Of South Carolina aud we believe Geor-

go is raised in South Carolina, far know,
