tThe North Carolina Experiment Sta
Ttion at Raleigh, desiring to extend the
cultivation of Soy Beans, proposes to dis
tribute a quantity seed to careful
iplanters desiring to test itheir merits.
The. only condition is that ach appli
cant cend 2 cents in postage-stamps to
iPay . cost of transportation by mail.
iEnough seed will be seat to each arpli--cant
to plant 1-10 acre. Theirst;400 ap

ceived. TheStation regards this .as-a . very ial
mablev forage plant. It is -cf upright
to 3 feet high and is a legu
imina capable of adding nitrogen from
ithe.air to the soil in whicik it grows, ft
lis .planted in hills or drills 2 to -3 J feet

and ;15 ta24 inches apart ia the row. It
can be planted any time from March

iweezi the corn, and 2 to4 Wnsam nmiJi
ally (Planted in each lull. Soil .suitable I
t itnd the general preparation is the
same as t for corn. When planted for
com both orops can be ensilaged to
gether, and ithe corn ensilage wiU be
much improved by the combination, or
the plants when planted alone can be
cut for forage before they get too, woody.
The seed are found in small pods and
cap be'sared by cutting the whole plant
when leaves and pods have turned a
golden hue. They can easily be beateE.
out when dry. jfcf cutting is delayed be
yond this time the pods will open and
come will be lost oa the ground, it will
not pay to pick the beans.? It is also a
good table bean, but requires a long time
to cook. The station urges a careful
trial of this crop.

GOL. BREGKINRIDGE
OPENS THE CAMPAIGN FOR
RENOMLNATION.
lie Makes a Brilliant SDeech to a
Ijarge Audience in Iiexington
His Reference to the Pollard
Case His Criticism of the
Ministers Union and
'
Denunciation of Cer-
tain Press Corre-
sponaents.
Lexington, May 5.-CoL W. C. P.
Breckinridge delivered here to-day his
opening address in the campaign for re-
nomination to CJohgress from the Ash-
land district. The audience to which
ne sPke, consisted of the people from
all portions of the State, there being
special trains from many points outside
the district. In the opera bouse, where
the address was delivered, were people
representing all classes
of industry,
distillers and
MailY Of them
were
saloonists.
Upon the stage were placed
chairs and these were all
about fifty
occupied. r - '
Col. Breckinridge entered the stage
from the rear, and coming forward was
met and grasped by the hand by every
one on the stage, amid a perfect roar of
applause from the floor, galley and bal
cony. In about three minutes time he
made his way to a small table near the'
foot-lights of the stage and after a
pause of about hve minutes longer he
began slowly. Clinching his hands with
the most intense emotion, his nerves
quivering and tears coming in his eyes,
he said he had not come as a conquering
hero, but felt that his friends would
hear what he had to say. Enthusiasm
reigned supreme and throughout his
speecn ne was appiauaea every two or
three minutes. Me did not believe the
ministerial union who had taken action
here against him, had done so with the
proper spirit. He thought the members
were very different from the Master
they would make believe they served.
His harsh criticism of the Christian
people has hurt him with thebetter
classes, and it is doubted by many well
balanced persons if he did his cause any
.good by his address here to-day. Some
believe he has not made a vote and has
placed himself up as a target for the
sharpshooters in the pulpit and in the
press.
On the
other hand, his friends, and
they are many, think the effort was the
greatest they ever heard, and many of
them drew their nanKercmets more
than once during the address and cleared
their eyes. The colonel appeared to the
best advantage and when he turned his
attention to the newspaper men he
summoned to his aid, it seemed,
ever bit of nerve in his .power
ful v physique. With clinched fists
and contracted facial muscless , he
declared he had. sat silently by and
allowed the press correspondents to lie
for three long months." Their dies, he
said, were contemptible,! He lifted his
eves toward Heaven and forgave the
ministers who had raised their voice
against him, but excluded the newspaper
fraternity, saying that for those who
had written falsely of him he had noth-
ing but the bitterest contempt. These
utterances brought forth the most en
thusiastic applause and he was forced to
allow this to die out before he could
finish-and he said he was ready and
willing at any time when one of these
falsifiers thought he was meant, to meet
him and settle the matter with him.
Aato oratory, conservative judges say
that the oration of CoL Breckinridge
to-day was the best they have -ever had
?the . leasure to listen to. His friends
are well pleased with the reception and
are arranging o give mm a use ovation
a,t Pans. Monday.
Col. W. C. P. Breckinridge began his
speech by describin-g his early heme and
life, ms-service in tne ooutnern army
and his career as editor, lawver and
statesman at the war's close. Then he
spoke of his election to the House to sue
ceed Capt. Blackburn, and said zthat he
wts not a-seeker after office. Herapidly
sketched the events leading up to the
nomination of Mr. Harris and hisdefeat
He "touched on taxation and the tariff
bills, and paid his reepects "to President
Cleveland's career as Chief Executive of
theiUnited States.'
Referring to his trial in Washington,
he said:
'Lt is charged that the revelations
concerning "my private, life have shown
that Lam not fit to be Representative;
that that renders it the duty of the dis
trict to set me aside; &at a re-election
would vbe looked upon as 'a vindication;'
that a jrote for me is a vte of approval.
If this were so,, I would aot stand for.re-
election.;! would not accept your vtes;
J would cot live in your mi dst. Of what
have been guilty, I have made public
acknowledgment under oath in the
sight of God, of cocrtandof country. ' As
te the numberless charges made by thse
wiio have conspired -to destroy me, j
enter my indignant protest; against
the malice which has coined, the mend
acity whicfc has fabricated and the
enmity that has utteced the numberless 3
, A. - i.1 L - 4
ues against me, in tne presenoa or you,
my fciends, acid constituents with allthe
memories that cluster about me and
surge iiponme as I spe&k to-daf, Ix pro
test in the name of God and of honor.
But I do not wish this district to con
ceive that I have .any defense to make
for what. I have done, and of wiuch i
have been guilty. Entangled by weak
ness, by passion, by sin, in. coils svhieh
it was almost impossible to break, I did
everything that was within my power
to prevent public scandal, except the
one thing which for no moment ever en
tered my mind. Your re-election of me
can neither take , from nor add to the
punishment I have suffered. It has not
been hypocrisy that my life has not been
consistently . wrong; I knew the secrets;
I tried to atone for it in ways that it is
not becoming in me to more than all ude.
'Now that exposure has come, there is
an element of gladness in it. I care not
now what letters come in my mail; I
care not now for ;the closet door to be
opened. There is no 'Skeleton there and
- V m a m
I can go into the clear sumignc out or
mvsterv and look up through the blue
skies into the upper world with the feel
ing that there- is no cloud there. I am
not afraid that from tne norizon win
suddenly come a clap of thunder and a
flash of j lightning that win destroy me
and mine. This is of the past. I will
wear with me the scars, but I will not
onsrer carry the dread. I will come out
of that storm, however long it may last,
in some respects conqueror. The
extent of my guilt was. truth
fully confessed by me . to its
uttermost boundaries, without justifica
tion or palliation, lo that extent I was
guilty; beyond that I was innocent.
Whatever charge of any kind, made
against me by any person, not confessed
in that solemn testimony, for the truth
of which I appealed to God,.is false. I
desire this acknowledgement and denial
to be fully understood, that there may
be no misunderstanding, hereafter. In
your presence to-day, and in the pres
eace of the district, I repeat that for that
sin of which I was guilty I have no jus
tification, no palliation and I ask no
condonation.
Vlf some one in your midst can better
do the work you want done as your Rep
resentative, choose him. I shall submit;
some one whose life has been stainless,
whose morals your young men can imi
tate with profit, whose days have been
pure and whose nights have been sinless;
whose ability is ample, whose experience
is wide. For a hundred years this dis
trict has been represented by men. They
have not always been sinless men, and
whether you re-elect or reject me, here
after when some one comes to write its
history, whatever blame may attach to
me, he will write of me that, even with
that blame, he loved the poor, he toiled
for his fellow men, he labored for good
causes, and as this historian turns over
the pages of the record in which my ut
terances are contained, he will rise from
them with the belief that I was loyal to
my principles, faithful to truth, devoted
to you."
CoL Breckinridge scored the minis
terial union of Lexington for the part it
took in trying to poison the minds of his
people against him and when he wound
up his castigation of them, he said he
fully and freely forgave them. He said
he was willing to trust his case with"his
Saviour. ,He also denounced the news
paper men who printed, the pictures of
his beloved dead, together with the in
scriptions thereon.
The applause was almost continuous
and the scenes were of the wildest
character.

A Smallpox Patient Burned to Death.
Little Hock, Ark. , May 5. Reliable
information reaches here of the burning
of a negroin Ouachita county, supposed
to have had smallpox. The telegram
.conveying ithe intelligence says: Last
Monday. a negro at Miles Switch, in
Ouachita county, was taken sick with
1 -a
some Kind or Dreaiang out, that was
thought to be smallpox and a doctor was
sent for, but for some reason he did
not attend the case. The negro was put
iua cabin, to -which some one set fire,
and he being' unable to escape, perished
intheflamea. One report says he was
shot and then burned, while another says
he was only burned. One thing is sure,
andiihat is that the house occupied by
the negro was burned to the ground and
be cannot beifound. The identity of the
guilty parties as not known.

To Float Kelly's Army on Rafts.
Des Moines, May 5. The proposition
to float Kelly's army down the Missis
sippi river on 150 raits: each bearing ten
men, is still under consideration. It is
feared that Kelly will not be able to lead
more than 800 of his men out of the city
with him when he goes and that the
other 600 or more will be turned loose on
the city and country. During the past
week as many as 100 men brought here
by the army either as members or hang-
ers-on have been jailed on various
grounds.

Extra
dited. '
Washington, May 5.- The latter part
of to-day's executive session of the Sen
ate was devoted to a consideration of a
treaty with Russia, having for its object
the preservation of the seal life, and is
said to be similar to a treaty which that
power has negotiated with Great Britain.
It. fixes the limit off the Russian seal
islands in which Sealers may poach or
capture seals, this limit being fixed, ac
cording to some at ten miles, and accord
ing to others at a much greater distance.
Senator Morgan made a speech in expla
nation of the treaty, but no action was
taken further than to refer it to the. Com
mittee on Foreign Relations.
When the Senate first went into exec
utive session, the case of Geo. W. Wil
son,nominated to be collector of internal
revenue for the district of Fiorida, was.
taken up, but after several speeches had "
been made, it was referred back to the
committee. Some severe charges, it is
said, have been filed against this'nomi
nee. It was also charged that Mr Wil
son had been guilty of flagrant violations
of the election laws: These matters were
so serious that the-Senate deemed it ad
visable to send the nomination back to
committee for further investigation.
The president to-day sent to the Senate
following nominations: Seneca Hazelton,
of Vermont, to be Envoy Extraordinary
and 'Minister Plenipotentiary to Vene
zuela. United States Consuls Geo.
Keenan, of Wisconsin, at Bremen; Colin

The President signed his warrant for

will be taken by easy stage to Tampa,
Fla., whence he will sail for Cuba in the
custody of Spanish detectives.

Yo Tambien Wins the Inaugural.
St. Louis, Mo., May 5. After a rain "
last night that left the track sticky . and
slow, the sun struggled through the
clouds at noon and when the bugle
sounded for the first race at the fair
grounds this afternoon 8,000 people had
passed the turnstiles. Thirty-five book
makers were kept busy handling the
money that poured in on them. Six.
good horses were slated to start for the
Inaugural, the event of the day, and Yo
Tambien and Ethel Gray were about,
evenly favored by the betters. The
muddy track seemed favorable to Yo
Tambien, who opened at 3 to 5. Ethel
Gray opened and closed at 4 to 1. Ser
vice remained stationary at 7 to 1. High-,
land was the next pick at 8 and 10 to
1., Roy.LochieFs supporters backed hitm
down from from 15 to 10 to 1, and Chis
wick was the rank outsider at 20 to I
Jack White, the tatter's owner, backed
his colt heavily to show To a good
start the bunch got off with Chi.swick in
front, Ethe Gray second and .Highland
third. Chiswick soon dropped back,,
however, and Ethel Gray took the lead,."
followed by Highland and Yo Tambien.
At the first turn Highland and Yo
Tambien passed Ethel Gray, and raced
head and head to the wire, Smith's mare
winning by the narrowest of margin.
Ethel Gray fell back in the stretch, while
Chiswick and Service both came fast.
White's colt secured third money by a
nose from Servia. The pair were a
length back of the first two. -Ethel Gray
was two lengths behind Service and
about the same distance ahead of Roy
LochieL George Taylor's work on Yo
Tambien, considering that he ar
rived from Memphis this morning
and was too tired to - get more
than a bare victory out of his mount,
was of the highest order. Ham piloted
Pekin, 15 to 1, through to the wire in
the fourth in one of the closest decisions,
of the ay. In the fifth Eolic, First
Choice, and Van Zant ran up to form,
and favored in the betting as they fin
ished. McCone, the favorite, won a
close finish from Maj. Dripps in the last
event. Aside from a bad start in the
first event, the racing was excellent.
