P; i Amkrican Ramie?The fir?t txperimeut U (he manufacture of cloth from Kami# in the United States was made lately nt the Ban Jose woolen mill. The liber *r<is ]>ut through the rame presses at the mills as any other material used tor making cloth. It want through the machines, was twisted into thiead, and then a thread of wool and a thread of ramie were twisted together. Being put on theloim the machine was Mane t, and in a few minutes the cloth began slowly to unroll. Tho fabric resu'tant from the procss was a strong, oloeely woren piece of cloth. ~ Holding }t up to the light, one could mi Srf Uiroligh it. 1 he color of the cl-th was a bluesh-gray, tbe w<o! supplying the dark and the ramie fiber the light portion. Ramie is much stronger than wool, is forty-one times stronger than cot'on, and more nearly approaches silk in this respect than any ? other material use I in the manufacture of cloth. Thus It it pviilpn r tliir .1 f.Kr:? of a mixuire of wool nml rame is far superior to a cotton ftod wool mixture. 'J he fiber, wiien ready fi r the mi Is, is in bunches about five feet long, of ft creamy white clor, and has a luster line tilk. It can be dyed any color and si 111 retain its luster, anl hence can be used in the manufacture of silk-mixed weaves, making a fabric just ns good in every way, but f.?r cheaper than if silk were usod. It wi'i have the effect when it comes into general use of cheapening all textiles of this character, while giving a fabric letter in looks and wearing qualities. One of the big points claimed for ranrc is the ease with which it can he produced, nnd the consequent big profit to the producer. Kamie is nothing more or less than a weed, and grows and increases with the prolifictiess for which weeds are note!. The plant docs not need a rich soil; it fict, seems to __ thrive best in a roil in wlrch nothing c're ~wiU?xas. and is especially v?lu? 1? oi? this account. It is claimed that three crops a yenr can be secured, and thntat the lensl calcination a profit of tf'JUO nu acre will pour into the pockets of the ramie cultivator. The field will not have to he ropl.nted fi>r twenty jcars, for the plants will grow and produce good fiber for th it length of lime.? Pacific Lumberman. . ? .. iuii>- by A loitSAUO.?Wellington. Knn., May 28.?The full ex'ent of the damage wrought by the tornado last night was tcalir.ed this morning wheu day1 glit came to disperse the gloom which surrounded tho awful cilim.ty. Wreck and ruin stretches from one end of the city to the other, nod whrre last night s?ool the finest blocks of buildings is now one continuous lino of debris and ruined buildings. Washington avenue, the finest thoroughfa'ein the city, was swept from one end to the ether by the storm, and I lie big business force expended from abovo.dowownrd. The walls were literally crushed in and. the unfortunate inmates, did not have time to move after the tornado struck the house. F.vcu at this hour?0 a. m.? it is impossible to get even a partially correct 1 at of the dead, for everything is in such confusion that while one minute a person is reported as dead, the next finds that person search ing for futuc one else. There arc twelve dead bodies lying in different parts of the city, but the doubts as to their identity make it useless te give names. In many instance* tin sa who were taken from the ruins were so disfigured that it is j almost impossible to idsntify them except by ' cloth ing. and this will take 4mo *intil ^ suTroubdfngcbantry.will probably swell tbif ; Jo 40. From* (lie wrecked condition of the i houses it is believed that This is the worst | storm that lias ever visi ed Kansas. One hundred and fifty-two houses are to be counted as haying felt the force of the ' tornado, and of these fully 100 are com- 1 pletely wrecked. The loss will be $700,000. t .? I Tiie May Convention.?The work of the convention which met in Columbia last Wednesday was little more or less than might ( hare been, and which had been expected, j under the circumstances. It was, of course, known that the convention would be strongly Tillman, and the general course followed by it was naturally to be expected. We did not believe, liowcvsr, that it would endorse the Ocala platform in tolo. Neither did we ' believe it would denounce Cleveland as it did. i We diil not expect tho convention to endorse Cleveland, knowing the sentiments cf the majority cf its makeup as wc (ltd ; but wc certainly did not believe it would denounce * bim ill snob tnemo ?" : un 11 U1U. I As lo llie discourteous conduct. of the | majority toward the minority, that was disgraceful in the extreme, if the reports in regird thereto are correct. Such conduct is, or ought to lie, beneath the dignity of a representative men. T That is putting it too mi d. It is a disgrace to the State and the civilization of the H age, and we tru'y hope that such a disp'ay ' of ill breeding will never ngnin be seen in the .South Carolina State House. Such is not at all in keeping with the reputation of the South Caroliniaus for courtesy. We can I disagree, eiihcron public or private matters and ati'l treat each other courteously. ' Ilut that is not Tillman's siyle, and prob- fi ably tbose who acted so unbecomingly towards theirafellow-delcgates in the convention last Wednesday were simply carrying out his mandates.

At precisely 6.30, p. jn.. the school, consisting of about seventy-three pupils, marched across the grounis. singing "Merri y through the Greenwood." The officers wore handsuaie anshea over their shoulders, some red and ethers b'ue. Tbe wands were covered in rod, white aod blue, each with tri-colored streamers. The flag of tbe United States and South Carolina wore floating down the line. The picur? wan a blight one indeed, of young men and maidens, even down to the dear little children. As the Society marched upon the stage they took their places regularly, without noise or confusiou. While thus ai ranged, Mr. GosseU, the Chairman of the Tiustees, undo a short address of welcome and epoke in the highest terms of their teacher, Mrs. M. ?. It i it ton. Then followed a song by the school,? "Sleighing" ? afier which the la-g-r number of (he pupils marched into the Academy ; those remaining did some figure marching which was enjoyed by the large audienee present. The Society being formally opened the Secretary, Mi-s A. V. Scott, read the report in which were praiseworthy words for the teacher, loving ones for the co-workers, regrets for the losi of two of the members, one by death, Miss Ilosa Solt. and one by marriage, Miss Anna Gallman, welcome words for the large assembly of friends present end thanks to those who had a'ded in endeavoring to provide means by which all might spend a pleisant evening. The group of children which first greeted the eyes when tho curtain was diawn numbered about thirty. They ell did exceedingly well in their speeches and rcoita'ions. Then followed dialogues, interspersed with apeeches, reci'otions and music, until eleven o'clock, end during that time not a fa lure of any kind occmred, everything in order. The pupile showed by their graceful movements, well modulated voices and choice of subjects, that the teacher is an active earnest worker. The Society was glad to (tee Men la from Spartanburg, Union, Jnnesville, Keiton, Ml. Tabor, West Springs, North I'acolet, Sedalia, Brown's Creek and throughout the County in general. They do all in their power to entertain and ware happy to see so many friends rejoice at their prugrosj. It has been estimated thai ab -ut five hundred people were present and the verdict, eo far as hoard from, is that this occasion excelled all previous efforts. Even not of the polilIcians say they learnc I something new. It was vory pleasant to see so mnny handsome boquels passed up to the young ladies and orators. These annual reunions are very pleasant and we are glad to soe the patrons of the school s> interested ia this movement, and we know that it lightens the work of the tencher to be thus appreciate 1.
