Orr, who speke as follows: g Technical education in its broadest Bose is thc training of persons in the ?sand sciences that underline the Bactice of some trade or profession, Bit it is most commonly applied to ?especial training which qualifies a Brson to engage in some branch of Boductive industry. It would be but ?viste of time to argue the advan Bges of special training, because the ftperience cf the world around us, in Bl the avocations of life, has proved Ii?ce?Hsity and success. A hundred ago, when knowledge was con ed to a few, and scientific investi do was in its infancy, wo could mpete in our reBpeotive avocations th neighboring nations, but now ?we find experts in every trade d profession, we must equip our les for the contest, or fall out of I- procession, which is pushing for at a double quick, formerly manufacturing was dono a small scale, and almost exclusive ly hand; then the arts, mysteries d special processes were transmitted )n mastei to apprentices, and these "prentices, after s?ven years' ser te for nominal wages, were them Tes allowed to go into buoiness and D(i apprentices, but the increase of Pulation was so much greater than e *uPply of workmen that machinery "invented to supply the deficiency, 'first most of it .was operated by |*d? and the apprentice system was ? sufficient to supply the labor. ?*evcr, with the increasing demands *'?lth and population greater pro ton waB necessary, and steam 12'W8S applied to machinery. That ?ed the practical ending of the Notice system. Machinen were Proved, until they worked with pj=?st human intelligence ?nd far I5*1? acouraoy and dispatch. *?y should a youn* man bind him work for ?oven years for bio m ?nd olotbes to learn a trade, lt0 he could learn to attend to one ?ese machines in three months * nuke good wages at onoe? Tho 'wt, however, is that in this d?y of ^cement, education and the fcer "10r?of mechanism wo have very f thorough mechanics. Each man i'earned to do his particular work [Perfection, but has absolutely no n^dge of his neighbor's, and no pest or informution ns to how the. )L AT f.T FMSfiM Address on Industrial 5ation. i Cornier. whole is accomplished. Tho overseer docs not want the bother of training a man to run a particular machine when he does not expect to coutiuue running it; the hand does not want to quit a machine on which ho is getting good wa^es to learn another, when ho will i at first earn very little; the result is I that in any large establishment you ! have hundreds of bright, competent men who know their departments thoroughly, and not one mau who has a general kn', wledge of thc business in all its details. This, in my judgment, has caused the demand for teehuical education, and to be successful these schools which have sprung up all over P?urope and this country must meet the requirements. It is not skilled hands that they are to supply, for a man can learn far more thoroughly and practically the absolute work in any of the large establishments in this country than in the best technical college; but it is skilled heads that the mechanical and agricultural work is demanding. Your student must learn the general scone, the plan, the reason of the work. He can learn on the farm how to plough, to hoe, to ditch-teach him when to plough and hoe, where to ditch, what certain soils need, what crops pay best, how to handle his pro duct, how to save and build up his land, and how to utilize everything on thc farm. On his practical knowledge of the work itself graft the scientific and theoretical, teach him in three years what it has taken the agricultu ral world hundreds of years, by ex perience and experiment, to learn. So with manufacturing, your student can learn to card, spin and weave in a mill, 60 far as the labor of doing it is concerned better than in a technical school and get pay for his work be sides; what you must teach is how to manipulate the machinery so as to get the best results, the nicest goods, at the least cost. He must be taught the construction and peculiarities of the raw material, how it may be combined and treated, how handled that all the valuable parts are utilized, and all foreign and useless substances eradicated. He must be taught what a machine should accomplish, and be able to get the best results from every machine in the mill. Production has increased much faster than consumption, and in these times of fierce competition unless we keep fully abreast in the improve ments of our methods, utilization of every advantage which nature has given us, we will soon be out of the contest. Clemson College has organised and has in successful operation twe branches of technical education, and is just embarking on the third. Hei agricultural department is a credit tc the farming population of the State, and should be encouraged and upheld by every man who has a spark of pride or patriotism in his soul. Under thc guidance and control of Col. Newmax (the best example of practical and theoretical farming combined in thc South) we shall reap a great harvest and our children will rise up to cal them blessed who organized and main tained such an institution. The mechanical department has not met with such conspicuous succ?s: until recently, but it is doing gooc work, and with the field open ant eon tinned effort it will give us result that all will be proud of. The las few months has oentred public gaz* upon its operations, and the numbe of students of this department wh< have passed successful examination and obtained employment in th United States Government service de monstrates not only the usefulness hut tho thoroughness of the training A third department of technion training has been organized, to wit textile, and I shall discuss that mor particularly. Textiles is applied to all fabric which are woven in a loom, and it treatment must, of course, inolud every process from the raw materai t the finished products prepared for th market. Clothes of some kiod o other have been used by the boma familv ainci* firr l?*yoa ?,'jrl thc hide of boasts were dispensed with s clothing and iwill be to the end < time. We have detailed accounts of tl clothes and manner of making the running back 3,800 years, and whi! the speed and fineness have bec wonderfully improved, still the gen ral principles are the same to-day thi they were in the most anoient time The process, ns described in the ea liest accounts, consisted of hanging certain number of strings, as the wai was then called, from a stick and fas ened at the lower end of each a weigh co that they would not lose their poe tion.. Tho filling was called weft, ai wound upon a short bobbin, whi< was placed inside a hollow bont-aharH piece of wood, so as to revolve as tl shuttle was passed by hand in and out (.brough che warp, ana at right angles with it; after each passage of the fill ing a wooden bword-shaped implement was introduced between the threads of tho warp, and many quick, sharp blows given to drive the filling close up. As may be imagined tho process was very slow and tho most expert weaver could not weave a yard a day. Think? of that compared with the thousand yard? a day which good weavers ou thc latest looms aro now making. In tho very early times, however, a clumsy harnea was used to keep the warp thread i apart, as the shuttle passed between; and this was operated with the feet, by a treadle, very much as our band looms of to-day work. Soon after this a heavy combed shaped tool was used to beat up thc filling, thc teeth passing between thc threads of tho warp. In ancient times the women did all the weaving, and though the process was flow, and the implements rude, still some of the olothes produced were wonders iu beauty and durability. An early Christian sarcophagus in thc Lateran has thc symbolical relief representing God condemning the future world to labor, tilling tho soil for the man, and weaving for the woman. He gave ears of corn to Adam and a sheep to Eve. Some thoughtless and some ignorant people have questioned the wisdom of the South engaging in manufacturing to any great extc?t, on tho ground that it interferes with the farming interests of this country by absorbing tho labor; aside from the well estab lished economic actium, that diversity of interests is the life of any country, we know from our own experience that notwithstanding the growth of cotton iudustry, from a few thousand spindles in 1866 to 4."00,000 in 1808, that the South has rained larger crops of cotton and all the cereals than she did before these manufactures were in existence, so we reap as much advan tage as ever from farming, and what ever advantage there is in the money spent for manufacturing. Leaving aside the many arguments usually made to show the advantages which the manufacturing country offers, let us examine one minute what the difference is to the country that raises and manufactures one bale of cotton, as compared with selling it, to be worked up elsewhere. Sup pose the bale weighs 500 pounds, and is sold at 6 cents; the country gets the benefit of $30, to be distributed be tween the rent of the land, the labor, the fertilizer, the man w' u makes agricultural implements, etc; not much profit to any of those engaged, and only $30 is produced for the country; now let a factory in the same country where the cotton is raised buy this cotton. It pays the same $30 for it that the foreigner would have paid, and the man who raised it gets the same benefit. Let the mill now manufacture it into say yard-wide sheeting, weighing four yards to the pound; it will pay out for labor, sala ries, supplies, findings, etc, 5 1-4 cents per pound, $26.25, in addition to the price of the raw cotton, or $56.25. After deducting the loss by waste he will have say 1,680 yards of oloth, for which he Trill receive from the jobbers to-day 3 1-2 cents per yard, or $58.80, as against $30 put in circulation in tho first instance-the country has the benefit of $58.80, or nearly double, the employee getting $26.25, and the stockholder $2.55 additional. And it does not matter, so far as the South is ooncerned, whether the mill is run at a profit or not, for the $26.25 has to be paid out for manufacturing in addition to the price of the ootton, and the country gets the benefit of it. If South Caro lina sold to outsiders here 850,000 bales of cotton she would have $49, 980.000; in other words, she would Le better off every year to the amount of $24,480,000. Run these figures through your mind and you can realize what the South would be worth to-day if she manufactured her 11,000,000 bales of cotton instead of one-tenth of it. Many of the objections which were most strenuously and dogmati cally urged against cotton manufactur ing in the South have been overcome by actual experience. The theory that the climate was unsuitable has beon overcome by scientific machinery, and it is found that any temperature or degree of humidity can be produced at will. jLMv giuou uugouuu ui LUI ? ui i icu neip has proved the greatest farce of r Beent times. The help of tho New England mills is composed very largely of for eigners, and that is their greatest curse. There is no community ol interests between the employers and employed, while the Southern help ie the greatest bulwark of strength we have. They are natives of the coun try, animated by impulses, inspired bj the traditions and descended from thc same ancestry as all other Southern ers, and the result is that instead oi quarrelling, bitterness and discontent whioh has clogged the progress of om Northern competitors and led tc strikes, shut-outs and violence, w< have not only enjoyed uninterrupted work, but good feeling and content nient have been universal. S...':.;.* . '. Much stress has been laid on the fact that we have no labor organiza tions, and while I am thankful that such is the fact, I have never dreaded ! their power in this section, for they I cannot flourish in native American communities. Their effect is to put ? all men on an equality, not of tho highest, but tho lowest member, and all individuality and freedom of j thought and action is denied. Thc organization, though of human beings, j is but a tremendous machine, subject to thc power and control of its master. It is contrary to the principles of free-born American citizens, antagon istic of our form of government and flourishes best where communities are composed largely of foreign-born citi zens. There is a .other scare crow that is constantly produced when new mills aro spoken of, that the South is build ing mills too fast, and will crowd each other out. Now, I admit that it is a serious mistake to build a larger mill than you have the money to pay for, be cause you are not only burdened with debt, but having no commercial capi tal you must buy wherever you can get credit, without regard to price, and sell your product as soon as it is out of the machinery at whatever offer you can get. Indeed the mill that owes its selling agent a large sum of money is in just the same condition as the farmer who has given a lien on his crop and mortgage of his stock; his credit is limited to that one per son, and his production must bc sold just as fast as it can be marketed. If we never had another mill I would not advise building it until the whole amount necessary for the completion was secured. Build what you can pay for, and as you prosper increase your stock and enlarge. If this rule is adhered to, and men of ability and character aro put in charge of each enterprise, I see no reason why the South may not double her manufac turing capacity in ten years. So far as making more goods than oan be sold, that amounts to nothing. All cotton that has ever been produced has been manufactured, and the only question, is, shall tho South get the additional wage paid and profit for the finished product, or shall she be eon tent with the half loaf, thc price of the raw product? Thc best proof that cotton manufacturing is not only feasible, but as a rule profitable, is the tremendous increase in this class of work in the last fifteen years in the South. Do you know that the Southern States to-day have 4,025,432 spindles and 107,500 looms running, against less than 1,000,000 spindles and 28,000 looms fifteen years ago ? Do you realize that South Carolina has 325, 390 spindles and 39,458 looms, or one third of all in the South to-day? North Carolina coming next, with 983,136 spindles and 23,585 looms, and Georgia next, with 749,314 spin dies and 21,094 looma. When these three States have 3, 057,840 spindles out of 4,026,000, and 84,137 looms of the 107,000, you must see how absurd is the statement that the South is overcrowded, when the other ten States all told have only 967,592 spindles and 23,364 looms. The New England manufacturers have more money and more skill than we-the first difficulty we are gradual ly overcoming by following their ex ample and selling more of our pro ducts in the finished state, instead of as raw material; the second difficulty, want of skilled heads, we oan get over by establishing and fostering, encour aging and maintaining this textile school. The only Southern State which is moving in this direction is Georgia. She is now organizing a textile school in oonnection with the Institute of Technology in Atlanta, and has $36, 000 secured already. There is plenty of room for more, but as Clemson Col lege is the best agricultural school in tho South, let us make her textile department second to none in the Union. Nailed His Whiskers to the Fence. * The patriarchial beard of one of the "oldest inhabitants" of Conshohockcn is still in its accustomed place upon his chin, but it looks very moth-eaten and ragged. This is due to the fact that the old man is extremely near sighted. To seo an object plainly he is compelled to get his optics within a few inches of it. The other day, while pottering around his house, the old man undertook to repair the picket fence around the yard. Many of the palings had been knocked off, and those it was his purpose to re place. He armed himself with ham mer and nails and started in. He got his first paling in place, and with much labor succeeded in fastening it there. But this was not all. When he started to move on to tho next break he was brought up standing with a yell of pain. He had nailed his whiskers between the paling and tho crossbar. His yells attracted the attention of his good wife, who, when she realized thc situation, brought her scissors into play and released the old man, minus a considerable portion of his beard.-Philadelphia Record. WELL DRILLS REGIMENT. ! First South Carolina Ranks Among- the Very Best. Jacksonville Times- I'nion. Prominent among tho regiments at tached to the Seventh Army Corps is the first South Carolina, encamped at Panama Park, along with the other regiments so far assigned to the Third Division. The boys aro well pleased with their camp. The First South Carolina is exceed ingly well drilled, ranking second with all thc troops at Chickaiuuuga, where it was stationed for some weeks before coming here. A very prominent phase in thc char acter of thc South Carolina boys is their strict obedience tothecommauds of their officers, and the respect shown the officers by their men, and vice versa. The distinguished profession of law is weil represented among the com missioned officers of this regiment. Both tho Colonel and Lt.-Colouel are prominent lawyers. Col. Alston is a man of rare executive ability as a military commander, and is tireless in his efforts to maintain a high standard among his men. Lt.-Col. J. II. Tillman, son of Ceo. D. Tillman, and nephew of Senator Benjamin Tillman, needs scarcely an introduction to thc public, as the natue of Tillman is familiar in every house hold in the United States. He rides a beautiful horse like a knight of the olden times. This magnificent steed has a happy name. "Robin Hood." No sooner has tho shrill sound of tho reveille rung out upon the morn ing air than the half-dressed soldiers can bo seen tumbling out in front of their tents, and soon thc entire camp is aroused from its long slumber. The mess call is a glad one to the ear of the boy in bluo. Swimming in thc river has been prohibited between thc hours of \) a. m. and G p. m., but the boys are allowed between drills to go fishing, boating, etc., and many of them take advantage of their liberties. Ono and all have the most sincere re gard for Mr. (iuest, who runs the boarding house at Cummer's Mill ; he has treated them all courteously. A strict guard line is preserved, and every ono going in and out must show a pass. If a Spanish spy ontcrs thc South Carolina lines at night, he will do so as a corpse on a stretcher, as the sentinels arc always on thc alert. PERSONAL MENTION. Lieut.-Col. Tillman was called hom J last week on account of the serious illness of his little child, and has not yet returned. It is reported that the little one is improving. Adjutant Hardin, of the First Bat talion, might be called the "quiet member of the group," but he thor oughly understands his duties and has few equals in military matters. One of thc youngest, yet ablest, Captains in this regiment is Captain Langford, commanding Company B, He is a graduate of the S. C. M. Academy, and is a splendid tactician. His Company has the reputation of being the best drilled in the regiment. Lieutenant Marion, of Company D, is ono of the most enterprising young lawyers of Chester, S. C., and a part ner of Attorney-General Barber, who is running for Congress. Lieutenant Marion left a fine practice to enter the service, and ls devoted to his duties and his men. Sergeant Gillespie, of Company JO, dressed up as a woman the other even ing and made a round of the camps, causing much amusement. As the appearance of the fair sex is a rarity in camp, many of the boys turned out to welcome their visitor, but she sud denly escaped, and nc one knew the joke until next morning. Saturday morning every company was inspected in heavy marching or der by their Captain, and arms, equip ments, etc., were found in excellent condition. Captain Watkins, of Company C, is a splendid military officer, and greatly beloved by his company. He is also a joker of the richest type. As a teller of funny stories, or a torment, the Captain carries off thc pennant. His wife is at the Windsor. Lieutenant Cochran must have read James Whitcomb Kiley's little poem, "Seein' Things at Night," for he tells a strange story of how ho saw curious shaped animals wandering about camp, and heard them whistle. Lieutenant Grant, of Company C, killed an immense "tarantula" rn bi? tent night before last. Ile sleeps up in the accord story now, with a guard below._ - Mr. A. C. Wolfe,of Dundee,Mo., who travels for Mansur & Tibbetts, Implement Co., of St. Louis, gives traveling men and travelers in general some good advice. "Being a Knight of the Grip," he says, "I have for thc past three years made it a rule to keep myself supplied with Chamberlain's Colic. Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, and nave found numerous occasions to test its merits, not only on myself, but on others as well. I can truly say that I never, in a single instance, have known it to fail. I consider it one of the best remedies travelers can carry, and could relate many instances where I have used the remedy on skeptics, much to their surprise and relief. I hope every traveling man in tho U. S. will carry a bottle of this remedy in his grip." For sale by Hill-Orr Drug Co. DO YOU FEEL ... BILIOUS, DROWSY. LOW SPIRITED, BODY AND BRAIN WEARY?

There is a family in this city which lives in constant awe of tho grip, and this fear is particularly centered on the small boy of the house, albeit he is a robust specimen of his age. The other day the small boy Sneez ed. This was enough to alarm the entire household. He continued sneezing, and his mother suggested sending for a doctor, as she was sure he was going to be ill. "Do you feel sick?" she asked, ten derly. "Do you think you are getting tho grip?" "Grip nothing!" ejaculated the boy, between paroxysmal sneezes.
