SOLD Ar IS PER CENT PROFIT.
Climate Satisfactory. labor ProbI.m So'ved.
Lqual 10 fire Oriental Teas. Annual
Yield Probably ID, 900 Lbs.

Washington, August 2-Dr Charles
L. Shepard who is in charge of the ex-
pelimental tea sardea at SunmervilIe,
:. c., has made report to the Secre-
taIy Of Agriculture covering the pro-
gress made up to date. lie says there
are now about fifty acres of land d~under
tea cultivation aud that 1900 pounds
were sold last year at profit Of 25
per cent. 1t is estimated that when ali
The plants now growing arrive az ma-
turity they viii yield 10000 pounds aH-
nually.
DR. Shepard expresses the opinion that
the fact that the tea plants lived through
last winter when the most intensely cold
weather III the history of the section was
experienced is guarantee that the
weather conditions will prove satisfac-
tory. The labor problem, he says, has
been solved by establishing :, school for
the education of negro children In ten
picking. The quality of the tea also
has proved satisfactory
Of the black tea ne says:
1T has a distinctly characteristic fla
vor, and like some of the croicer Orien-
tai teas, Its liquor has more strength
than its color indicates
The green tea, he says, has attracted
keen interest in the trade and among
consumers, and he adds that Oriental
teas can hardly furnish the like in this
country"

ed his withdrawal from the contest for
Governor to be decided by the State
convention which assemblies here August
2'rd. Mr.. McCool had only eight votes
instructed to his credit, but his with
drawal does not clear the heavily clhaTg-
cd political atmosphere in Mississippi to
any great extent.
Judge Longino continues to lead in the
race, having more instructed votes than
the other four candidates combined, and
it is believed his following will be suffi-
