IN L0WNDES
Four Candidates Said to BE in the
Field.

Valdosta, Ca. Feb. THE NUM-
cipal election had hardly passed before
the legislative campaign opened up in
earnest. There are no avowed can
didates as yet, though rumor has it
that four well known citizens are as
pirants and still others may enter the
race. Messrs. Ed. McRee. one of the
present representatives. and ]. R.
Walker are candidates and their friends
are already rallying to their support
Messrs. c. r. Ashley, who is just clos
ing his term as mayor, and G.. A. Whit
aker. are also said to be aspirants.
1t is announced. too. that Col w
S. West will have no opposition in
his race for the Senate, and it is be-
lieved that he will have the solid sup
port of the counties of this section in
his race for president of the Senate.
Col. West has been in one house of
the Legislature for ten years or more
and has made a very valuable repre-
sentative. His friends will delight to
give him their support for the highest
honor in either branch of the General
Assembly.

The general opinion is certainly in
favor of fresh seeds, and rightly so in
most cases at least. A French scien-
tist however. has stated a number Of
apparent exceptions to the rule. He
finds that with carrots 2-year-old seed

colored roots The use of or A.

premature greening. With cabbage

seed. With radishes fresh seed is
preferred for outdoor soil, since it
produces more robust plants. but seed
or years old is preferred under
glass, because it produces a less leafy
product. The general conclusion is
that fresh seeds should always be
preferred when it is wished to produce
plants with a strong leaf growth,
while for plants which 1t is desired
should head well, like cabbage, salads,
melons, cucumbers, etc, it is profera-
BILE to use seeds or 3 years old.
With ornamental plants, particularly
with balsams, seed more than year
old tends to produce double flowers
to a much greater extent than fresh
seed.

Summer Celery

e While the winter or fall maturing
celery is far the more valuable crop,
still the summer crop is not without
value. and it is the crop of the two
that is most easily grown in the South
and by gardeners who have no facil
ties for irrigation. Most any good
gardener can grow this early crop
the crop that is grown between Janu-
airy and June Even without irrigation
this crop can be successfully grown
if only the other requirements are
fairly met, and these are not many.
In the kitchen or family garden the
bed plan is far preferable to that
of planting tall growing sorts in wide
rows. The beds are made four feet
wide and any length. The soil of this
bed should be made just as rich as it
possibly cam be made with manure
that will not burn the crop-old COM
post that has been turned and turned
until 1t has lost its rankness, lot scrap
ings. COW manure that has been COM
posted and mixed with acid phosphate,
and fine rawbone, the latter especially.
This manure should be well incOrporat-
ed with the soil to a depth of six or
seven inches and to this depth the
soil should be well pulverized by rak-
ing or narrowing and then rolled
while dry and put before the plants
are set out
A bed four feet wide should accom-
modate four rows of plants. and they
should stand seven or eight inches
apart in the row. If irrigation were
feasible, the plants could stand CON
siderably closer than this. or as close
as 6x6 inches or 6xS. OF course, 1t is
understood that it is the dwarf kinds,
like the White Plume and kindred va
rieties, that are adapted to this mode
of culture.
In the absence of irrigation, mulch
ing is very helpful. almost indspensi-
bic in making a perfect crop, but the
mulching is not put on until the plants
are about half grown. After setting
out the plants on the bed they are
pushed by frequent shallow cultiva-
ton. just enough to break the crust
of soil. and to stir the soil not deep
er than one or two inches every few
days with rake or scuff1e hoe.
Seeds of the White Plume or some
other good dwarf variety should be
sown in cold frames or seed beds in
January or February, and strong,
stocky plants should be ready to set
out in the beds in February or March
and as late as April If circumstances
prevent earlier setting. The celery will
be ready for use from May until July,
according as the transplanting occurs
in the earlier months
This bed celery is blanched by ty-
ing old newspapers about the plants
from time to time, using also the
mulching material-pine straw gener-
ally-as an adjunct. One-half of an
ordinary daily paper wrapped about
the plant and twisted in, and the
straw drawn up and packed about the
plant, will blanch il in a week or ten
days. For home use the White Plume
really needs no blanching.
1t is only a question of good seeds
of a good variety, good stocky plants
set out in soil made very rich, as sug-
gested. and frequent shallow cultiva-
ton and any one that has a plat of
earth can readily Gull his own celery
in the early summer, at any rate The
late crop is not so easily made, for 1t
has to contend with our autumn
drought, which always comes sooner or
later.

THE SUICIDE At
HAWAIIAN HOTEL
LETTER FROM VIRGINIA IDENTI-
FIEs YOUTH WHO SHOT HIM
SELF ON NEW YEARS DAY.

William Hancock, the young man who
committed suicide on New Years day
at the Hawaiian Hotel, has been iden-
titled, through a letter received here by
the last mail. The letter was from Ju-
Illus A. Brown, of Wytneville, Virginia
who is an uncle of the deceased. He
enclosed a picture of the youth and
made inquiries as to the disposition of
his remains and property. According
to the letter Hancock was a native of
Virginia, % years of age and a member
of a good family. His nearest living
relative was a sister in Wytheville He
was a graduate of the State University
of Ohio and a pharmacist by profession.
According to Browns letter the sui
eide was a youth Of good character ana
was not addicted to any other vice than
that of excessive cigarette smoking. He
had contracted lung fever and started
west for the benefit of his health. When
he left home he had considerable money
and jewelry, including a valuable watch
and the letter from his uncle makes in
curry as TO what has been done with
his property.
At the time of his death Hancock had
only a few dollars on his person and lit
tie jewelry, and it is supposed that he
had had to dispose of his effects to gain
support for himself. A reply has beeu
sent to Brown giving information as to
the burial of the remains and notifying
him that Hancocks estate would he
looked after in the courts here.
