Probably no lawyer in the State Is

This has becn acquired by study, OBJ
servation and experience, and is very
essential to the Office OF the legaI al
visor OF tho State. This accounts In u
great measure for the complete con-
fidonce bestowed upon Mr.. Gunter by
the various State officers and the ju l.
ciary.
There Ia an)ther unanswe "a BILE rea.
son why tho present Ass istant A.
torney General should be entrustt Il
with the office OF Attorney General.
by direction Of the General Assembly,
and In pursuance o. the terms OF the
platforms OF the State and national
democracy, the Attorney General has
instituted suits against the continue.
tion OF wealth to monopoliz1 the neces-
stiles OF life to squeeze the life blood
OF the people. Whatever may be the
immediate result ofi'these suits, there
Is no question that the efforts already
made have done great deal to stag
ger corporate greed and will result In
good by strengthening the laws and
encouraging the people and the law
makers to further efforts with q hope
for final triumph. Mr.. Gunter has
been active in the peoples behalf, and
as he Is essentially peoples man, be-
Ing unfettered by corporate prejudice,
always arrayed on the side OF the pub
lie, with no obligations to corporate
com binatlons for past favor-, he is we'll
calculated to carry on tic fight to re-
strain corb"cate greed and insolence
when In violation Of law.
Believing that thcre is no reason
Why the present Assistant Attorney
General should not be promoted, he Is
respectfully commended to the Demo
cratic voters Of South Carolina as a
candid ate for Attorney General.

GROW ALFALFA. FA.--COnsldcrablc has
been said of late in favor OF Arkansas
farmers growing Alfalfa, and the writer
darcs venture the prediction that III
less than five years this important pro-
duct of the farm will be recognized as
one of tho most important crops to be
grown on The farm. The greatest obiec-
: ton yet urged against Alfalfa is that it
cannot be cut for hay The first season
after sowing the seed. This is an un-
Just objection, for certainly one can
afford to mss the cutting one season.
il thereby he establishes Il permanent
meadow that may be cut after the first
year, several times during the season
IL has been fully tested in many in.
stances that the feeding value of AL
| falfa is very great, one authority
claiming that in feeding test, ninety
ak pounds of Alfalfa gave the same
returns rs one hundred pounds of
wheat bran. The climate and soil of
this State are admirably adapted to its
growth and the sooner our farmers re-
cogniZc the value of Alfalfa, the less
difficult they will find it TO supply
themselves with plenty of good feed
stun at nominal cost.

TIE SNOW Fl.owER.-Tr in
Siberia tell of n beautiful snow flower
which blooms there when the winter
season is at its height. The flower
lasts only for a day, but its rareness
and beauty make it worth while to
travel many miles to see il. The bios.
som has something of the charactcris-
tics of the morning glory, lasting only
single day. When open it Is star
shaped, it's petals and leaves are tho
same length and about half an inch
wide. On the third day the extrcmi-
ties of the flowers, which are five in
number, show minute, glistening
spocks, veritable vegetable diamonds,
about the size Of pins head--thesc
are the seed of the flower.
A Russian nobleman named An-
thoskon took a number of the seeds to
st. Petersburg, whore he placed them
in Il pot of frozen earth and snow.

January this wonderful plant burst
through its icy covering and displayed
its beautiful blossoms to interested
