Put the salt into the water, add the dried beans and let them soak overnight. Boil the soaked beans in the same, salted water, turn down the heat and simmer for 45 minutes. Slice the green beans to a preferred size and add them to the white beans. Let it simmer for an additional 15 minutes. If necessary, add some water. Drain and put the beans into a pre-heated, large bowl. Add butter and sugar, mix and serve at once.
