Wednesday.'July 7, - - - 1S97, rkesidext woodwaitd. The election of Professor Woodward as President of the South Carolina College will meet, we believe, with great favor among the friends of the institution. Though, we mav have had personal reasons for desiring the election of Prof. R. Means DaviV, we now accept the election of Professor "Woodward as a happy solution of the situation. Professor -Woodward is progressive, in the prime of manhood, and a scholar fullj* up to the standard J of the former presidents of the college. Winnsbcro will recall hi? magnificent lecture on Shakespeare delivered here. Those who heard it ca;: testify to the type of his scholarship. Prof. Woodward tills the chair cf Eoglish, snd he has no superior i:> the South in his special branch. He is fall of energy and srubitious. His executive ability is 10 he tested, but from our knowledge of the man we believe that ihe college will move forward under his administration. The chief thing for which the friends of the institution should be thankful is the defeat of Mr- Mu*; field. His name was not presented, because he found thai be could not count on the support of a majority of the trustees. The opposition to Mr. Mavfield increased the more it was agitated. It originated not for the purpose of injuring him, but that the college might not be injured by his election. After it was ascertain d that be could not be elected, it was a wise thing then and there to elect a president. A postponement until next vear might have resulted in the election of Mr. Mayfield. Tbe personnel of the trustees might be changed by the Legislature at its ncr* Region, and in the interval between now and the next annual meeting of the board of trustees the college would have^been plunged into politics, and next year beiDg a general election veai\the position might have been one for trades. There is such a thing as choking off a candidate for some particular o?ice by giving him anchor ofhce. some prospective senatorial, or congressional candidate might have been saddled on the college, without regard to his fitness, but merely r*?*-?to spcve-thc cuds of some politician or politician?. The college has . had a narrow shave, but we believe it is all the stronger for it. The defeat of Mr. Mayfield tends to establish all the firmer that no retiring politician shall take refuge to the presidency of this institution, when he has run his po litical course. i HI Hi Ex-Sbxatoe Ieby, in an interview uith a reporter of the Columbia State, says that he wlil run for the Senate if no Wrue blue" Reformer enters the race. He / takes the position that the Reform movement has been betrayed by some men who have been more cr less prominent in it. Ex-Gov8rnor Evans -was in Columbia ai the same time as Ex-Senator Irby. lie said that it did not suit him to run for the Senate, and in au$wer to a question about Mr. Iiby, Mr. Erans said: "He has a great many more friends than we have credited hie with." Evaus will be at the opening meeting in Sumter. A man m winnsooro tens us inai Irby will positively be in the race It will be remembered that a lew weeks ago, Larn Gantt paid *'a social visit" to Irby. The Headlight then had an editorial eulogizing Itby, and, in substance, said that Irby was not dead, poli-ically, and that the people would call him into service again. It looks like Irby has received "the ca.i." I:-' Tiilman makes friends with McLaurin after the publication of that insulting Squeec'unfc letter, he not only obevs the S'-rlptnral injunction to turn the >ther chcek, but presents his entire broodside to Carley-IIaired Johnnie to spa :k to his heart's content.?riedmont ir??7.\./, / JiZll'.iL (J.U Can Tillman make friends with Irby? The general impression is that be and Irby were very unfriendly long ago, and that Senator Tiliman had something tc C!> with the retirement of Irby. Times have changed when Irby and ICvans have joinca hands. It was a graceful act in the South Carolina College Alumni Association to send to our much respected and esteemed fellow-citizen. Capt.

Editor: Page 4, which seems nof to have reacbcd your office in my lirst letter, gave .a description of a beautiful fountain at Round Ivnolu hotel, which perpetually sends up a j of pure, sparkling water from a mountain spring a thousand* feet above the hotel, the jet rising to the height of more than one hundred feet in the air, and -'falling in loreiy spray to the ground. It also told of three railroad track*, to be seen one above the other, . l?nin nn fi*k finr? UY \V IllUU tUC UUIU UCV/UUUO U|/ w-r ? I around Round I\nob. I hft your readers at Kocxville, a city of aboat forty-five thousand inhabitants. Twenty-nine miles bolow Knoxrill? by the railroad the Tennessee River is crossed, the French Broad ana Holston having ran together some distance above. We traveled from Knoxville to Chattanoog?one hundred and eleven mnes?in me night, reaching the latter place at about uTod p. in., where we bad to wait several hours on account of a trainja u on the Nashville, Chattanooga I and St. Louis Kailroad. Fir ally we got off, and without accident or special incident reached Nashvil.'c several hours laf.o, say about 9 a w., central time, Tuesday 22nd. As you have a'raady published the proceedings of the reunion convention, I will say very little on that subject, only that wo attended all the meeting and were eye and ear witj ncsses of the enthusiasm wi;h which I the o:d veterans absolutely refu-eJ to ! ailow Gen. Gordors to r2s;gn tiic chief cotnmandership of the camps. Gordon is a man of as pleasing address as can be found in our great countiy. I think, a fine speaker, a fine presiding officer, a noble and gallant leader, who, when he commands is naturally and easily obeyed. The singing of the doxology was timely, the proper thing to be dona, and gravid; of course in rrloH If incfnllv q.Tlfl df> | Y> t j wxiitu. xu ^ j j j , ? I voutlv, none other than the cold sceptic could have done otherwise. I saw the procession on Thursday, and had duty or patriotism demanded ehould have been in the ranks, notwithstanding the intense heat and the raiD, but I had my share of military show and parade thirty odd years ago. I did, though, what was better?hold your ear down so wife will not hear?I held my umbrella over the Nashville beauty, who represented South Carolina at the head of the column, while she sat on her steed in the broiling hot sun for half an hour perhaps, and she seemed to appreciate it. I think Tirinorlaca ?inrl Rpatv WPre in it for a while, but retreated when the rain came on. Nashville is a great city, said to contain about one hundred thousand inhabitants. It is called the "Rock City," as yon know, and it is well named, for it not only stands on soil liteially underlaid with lime-rock, but is in a great measure built of the same material, which seems to be a most excellent building stone when placed in a wall, but used as a step or +*rtv onv nnvnnsA that-. reonires a broad r -? face exposure to the sua and rain, it seems to be subject to disintegration, and like our granite when exposed to fire, scales off and cracks and crumbles. These are the impressions I received of it from observation and not from hearsay. Nashvil'e stands on both sides of the Cumberland River, which Hows for some instance nearly north and is navigable for some distance above for good sized steamboats. The eastern portion of the city is iTnr\TT*n oo TToct Vnchvil 1a_ r>r Edo-fifield and the two are connected by the iron bridges Street cars aud electric lights abound. I think they have the finest system of the former I have ever known in any city. Yon may get on in any part of the city, pay your nickle, run to the transfer office and change cars for whatever point you wish to reach, and without any additional pay or even a transfer ticket, go to the end of the line, no matter how fir. Nashville is, moreover, noted for its fine buildings and beautifnlly laid cff and decorated grounds. Tee capuoi is a magnificent .building on the highest point ia the city, with well laid off grounds. The postoffice is also a gem, built in 18S7. She Southern Methodist Publishing House is perhaps among the largest of its buildings, and being 'favorably located at ibe northeast corner of the public square, has lor a number of years been a paying institution, the net earnings of which are annually distributed nvrmno-sf the different conferences for the benefit of the superanuated and wcrnout preachcrs and the widows and orphans of deceased ministers. But my letter would be incomplete if I failed to mention Vanderbilt University, situated on Broad street out toward the southwest part of the city, whose magnificent main building, together with its numerous appurtenant buildings and its lovely grounds, shaded with an uncommon variety of fine trees, presents to the eye of th<> ' v.iVinlrlrt" n ?h?ncr of rare orahdenr and beauty. There are also many fiue church buildings belonging to the different denominations of Christians. I can not venture on this line. The court house too is a gem of itsgkind. There are so many sights in ana around this magnificent city that I must necessarily omit many. Tne centennial exposition grounds are lovely indeed, and in them natural features exceed those of Atlanta, but of the exhibits, from my observation, I cannot say they are superior or even equal either in number or quality. But my letter is getting too long, and yet the halt has not been told. Through the kindness of a friend I was favored with a ride eleven miles out on the turnpike road to the Tennessee Soldiers' iL-me, where there are about sixty-five old veterans well cared for, housed and clothed and fed; those of them who are able work the garden, attend to the stock and do the cooking and house work. They have a fine large j brick house, and hi every way seem | to be satisfied. The Hermitage, I "Old Hickory V' home and tomb, are | iicir by. Ui course we visiica u, ana I rested an hour or so under ;he shade ! of lis large, beautiful sugar maples, and drank from the well in the yard as pure, cold, sparkling- water as one will line; almost, anywhere. There is ! a fine grove of lovely old forest tiees | in front of the dwelling, and an avenue of tall cedars leading np to the yard, j The grounds are well kept by the | Ladies' Hermitage Society. To reach ! 'his place and return we traveled I through a> fine farming lands I supj ;>; s? as arc to be fraud South. Wheat, | com. oat*, rye, clover ai.d stock j abound. II. II.

Old and young mingled in friendly intercourse- The boys who were to receive their diplomas on "Wednesday were taken into full folio wship, and the gray-bearded old men with youthful hearts who had some to revive the associations of long ago were invited to the platform and heartily cheered. There were present four rtiotc nf isj.7 ffift-v rears asro"). AiULU ILlly V1UJ3 v* ava? , J ?- & , , two from the class of 1846, and one | from the class of 1840, Maj. S. S. Tompkins, formerly of Edgefield, now of Columbia. It was fitting that those present J should be reminded of the oldest livI ing alumnus of tbo college, and Prof. I R. Means Davis, with his usual grace of manner and speech, arose and spoke of Capt. Thomas M. Lyles, of Fairfield, who graduating in the class of 1831, (sixty-six years ago?before Victoria was Queen ef England), today still lives at his plantation home in V "" ** 1 ^ ^ " A ^ Ap V> ' | tf'aimeici, cne aevoieu >vuc vi young manhood still, as for the pa3t sixty-six years, bis ready helpmeet ana cheerful companion. They have raised a family of eleven children, and since the marriage of the youngest, fifteen years ago, have lived as they began when fresh from college and boarding school?alone, happy in each other, and actively interested in life. Capt. Lyles, always a graceful rider, fond of exercise, still rides each day over his fields, and his wife is, as always, the finest gardener, chicken-raiser and house-keeper in uhe country. Before the days of "female colleges," Barbamville?a few miles in the suburbs from Columbia?was a famous seminary for young ladies; and thither in thOBe'days it was the highest ambition of wealthy and fashionable young Kirls to 4,go off to boarding-school." Here came Eliza Peav, only daughter of Col. Nicholas Peay, of Fairfield, whose magnificent plantation extended for ten miles along the Wateree River, and here the South Carolina College student wooe3 and won his school-girl bride. Their experiences in common dating from these days seventy years ago, tbc current of their lives being a long one, have made the man aud woman more truly one than it is often permitted husband and wife to be, and now even the state of health of one is an index to the state of health of the other. The alumni adopted a resolution congratulating Capt. Lyles and his wife upon their continued health and happiness, and regretting that he could not be present as he was at the meet ing tour years ago. It may be- interes.iug to note that Capt. Lyles' an:estors were the first settlers cf Fairfield, and he still owns the "Lyles' Ford" plantation on Broad River and Beaver Creek where Ephraim Lyles was murdered by Indians and Tories, and where the outlines of an old fort are still to be seen. It is remarkable also that this honored couple reared seven sons, sending six into the armies of the Confederacy, two to die in battle and sleep in unknown graves under Virginia's sod. Think of the changes to our State in the last seventy years. The pride and prosperity of thi earlier days, the tragedy, humiliation ana poverty 01 tbe last thirty odd years! Here are a couple who have lived through the great epochs in our history and are living on as everyday folk like ourselves, cheerful and hopeful; yet of them we might almost say, (speaking ot the glories of Fairfield County, I whose prosperous past seems to U3*a | tale of romance,) they stood by her cradle and they followed her hearse! Columbia, July 3, 1897. j. j. m. j -?? public roads. Mr. Editor: It seems that some ot our citizens are becoming very much interested in the condition of the public roads. I must confess that lam rauch pleased lo see our people are at last waking up to and see the necessity of grading our public highways and putting them in a condition that we mar travel with some speed and comfort to oursclvea, and it will be a great : saving to our stock and vehicles. With our roads in good condition two mules can do the work of four with much greater ease and less danger than when - ? a ? iLA.. mey are almost impavbiuxc as mcy at c now. That the roacU should be put in better condition all will agree, but as to the plan no doubt there will be many. As one very much interested I have been giving the subject considerable thought for some time, and will submit the following or something on that order: That we first instruct our representatives to levy a two-mill tax for road purposes. If I mistake n >t that will place into the treasury about six thousand dollars. With that amouut per year we can place three roa't machines, three road plows, eighteen mules, and three hands to operate each machine, These three with the one owned by the county will give us four machines at work. Place one in ea?h section of the county and the first year work all the worst roads and continue to do so from year to year until they are all worked. In addition to the three hands with ?ach machinc I would suggest that while the machine is working a section the hands of said section liable to road duty be placed on the road at that time. I believe that our representatives now have the power to levy a two-mill tax for road purposes, but no doubt that they would like to be backed by the voice of the taxpayers, and in order to get at some conclusion I would suggest that a mass meeting b9 held in the court house some time in Au_g*st, say the second Saturday, an^ give all a chance to speak out or forever hold their peace. Let the taxpayers from different sections have the matter agitated and all come together and then we will be prepared To act intelligently. Greenbrier. July &, 1897. State or Omo, City of Toledo, ?

The needs of the farmer and the effort to bring better prices for his products were largely exploited on the fliw of the Senate." and there was mnch anxiety displayed to find out where they could put in a iif'i; legislation lor the farmer so that it would do the most good, not specially to the farmer, but io the political party in charge of the government. Luckily for the llepublicans, a batch of Southern Senators had a ready-made trap for the unwary, and they demanded the imposition of duties upon foreign cotton, which was readily granted by the Republicans, who were looking a little ahead of this demand.
