1t is interesting to note Just how the
cowpea crop benefits the soil upon
which it grows and increases it's pro-
ductive capacity. In the first place
it does so by increasing the supply
of nitrogen, which it transfers from
the air to the soil by means of the
bacteria which live on the roots of the
plant. This added supply of nitro
gen serves also to increase the growth
of the plant as well as enriching the
soil during its growth.

Columbia, S. c., Special.-Gen.
Matthew Calbraith Butler, Of Edge

night at IL 40 at a local infrmary.
For several weeks General Butler had
been i'll and had been gradually grow

Ter received supreme JUNCTION from
the Catholic Church. He died within
50 yards Of the convention hall in
which the secession convention met.
General Butler was a nephew of Com
modare Perry, Of the United States
navy, and but for fate might have

In childhood he accompanied his
father to Arkansas, but after the

He was educated at the South Caro-
lima College and then reading law was
admitted to practice in 1857. In the
following year he was married to

Pickens. He was elected to the Leg
islature in 1860, but before the con
clusion Of his term, entered the mill
tary service of his State as captain Of
a company Of cavalry in Hampton's
Legion. This command took a dis
