in the candidature for the Senate, and
his supporters will from time to time

there are over so acres planted in tea

that when all the plants now under cul-

EXPERIMENTS IN SOUTH CAROLINA Arr
VERY SUCCESSFUL.

N6\\NE naturally connects tea and
" \ the orient together, and quite
~ rightly, because the great ma
jority of all the tea consumed comes
from the far east. But for half CEN
fury individuals, with and without gov
eminent aid, have been wrestling with
the problem of growing tea in this coun-
try, and making of it profitable COM
mercial enterprise.
1t is of course the southern states that
are interested in these experiments that
may or may not add another to the list
of commodities for southern acres. AS
far back as 1S4S a southerner, DR.. Jul
MUS Smith, at Greenville S. c., made the
first planting of tea of which there is
any record in this country. His expert
ment was made upon small scale and
was entirely successful as far as it went,
but as it was not continued to the point
where it would be profitable from
commercial point interest in tea culture
soon died.
From that time to the present there
have been various attempts made to
successfully cultivate the tea plant in
this country. These experiments have
met with varying degrees of success,
and the majority of them have been al
lowed to die for lack of interest. 1t
was not until 1881 that the government
took an interest in the experiments,
and then an appropriation was made
to assist in the experiments being made
in the south. But for various reasons
the money appropriated was wasted
without securing any results that would
either help to prove or disprove the pos
sibilty of tea culture in the United
States.
For ten years after that the govern
ment took no part in the experiments
that were being made, but which were
keptupon small scale by interested in
dividuals throughout all of that time.
Again in 1892 the government made an
other appropriation for this purpose
and third in 1897.
With these latter appropriations more
success was secured, and the expert
ments have now advanced to the point
where ultimate success may be prophe-

sled, for it looks as though the problem
was to be solved satisfactorily and an
other industry added to the long list
in which American agriculturists may
engage with profit.
All parts of the south are not suited
to the growing of this delicate tropical
plant, nor is it expected that all classes
of tea may be grown successfully, but
that the harder grades of the plant
may be raised with success in some of
the southern states is now hardly to be
doubted.
Practically all of the experiments
with tea culture in this country have
been made in South Carolina, where the
climatic and soil conditions are as near

when it says the town or city liquor

Gloves made to order with monographs

is embroidered in the center Of the back

from stock and then embroidered have the
monogram set between the thumb seam

have 1t placed on the wrist below the
stitching. This latter position IL not alto

cards attracted SO much attention that
many of the people who received them
kept them as curiosities. They were shan
ed like large circular or concert pro
gramme, a big, double, square sheet.
These were printed and the first page. car
rying out the concert programme idea,
had the wedding announcement worded
much as such things usually are, but in
very much larger type, while at the TOP
of the page was what may have been
the wedding motto: Love Is Immortal -
Abraham Lincoln.
There were three headings inside-"The
Original Marriage Service by the Oficiat-
ing Clergyman" "Dr. PuIpit's Inyoca
tion," DIR. Pulpits Blessing" each fol-
lowed by the appropriate text. The bless
ing ended with the words MAY their
love know neither doubt nor decay" Now
that the couple have found they were not
congenial, and marriage. as far as they
are concerned, a failure, they have sepa-
rated, and the people who have those old
announcement circulars wonder if they
do not wish their plunge into matrimony
had been made with less said about i'm
mortal love.
