Secretary Wilson Visits Anderson. Barely if ever, is it our good fortune to have such distinguished, personages as Cabinet officers in our midst. On last Monday morning at ll o'clock quite a number of representative farmers from the County, some business and professional men from town, and a Company of Cadets of the Patrick Military Institute assembled to hear Mr. Wilson on the subject of Agricul ture. Mayor Hood, after calling the meet ing to order, introduced our represen tative in Congress, Mr. A. C. Latimer, who expressed great regret for not finding the Court House packed on such an important event, pointing to the high position occupied by the gen tleman he is about to introduce to the audience ais being one who g uards over the welfare of millions of farmers in the United States, and that Mr. Wil son, as the Secretary of Agriculture, is of the highest authority in the land on matters pertaining to his office. Mr. Wilson rose in a very unassuming manner, calling himself a plain Iowa farmer, stating that he was perfectly delighted with what he had seen here, that he was very enthusiastic over our national resources, climatic conditions of heat and moisture so essential to plant development, and pointing to our numerous streams available in the coming industrial development for the manufacture of cotton goods. With a keen eye he points to the time when all our cotton raised hftre will be converted at our doors into various fabrics, supplying the world with it, thereby creating prosperity, which also means a higher citizenship. In speaking of the department of agricul ture he stated that in this department alone 3,000 scientific experts are em ployed, whose business it.is to study the conditions in plant life, make ex periments with soil, climate, &c, &c, and to constantly keep the department posted on. new developments He.then spoke of Dr. Sheppard, near Charleston, as the pioneer in the cul inreof tea in this State, that 50 acres planted in tea last year produced 3,500 pounds, which sold at $1.00 per pound, being of high quality, that this nation imported last year 80 million dollars worth of tea, and that we can raise as fine a quality as is raised anywhere in the world, that the experiment is worth the farmers7 attention. Speaking of Cuba and tobacco cul ture, he is of the opinion that with the amount of rainfall in this section, we could enter as competitors with mark ed success, improving gradually as we j became more familiar with its culture ; so wi1, h butter and cheese, if looked into, would add greatly to our wealth. Last year the' State of Iowa sold 30 million dollars worth of butter and cheese in the face of having to buy our cotton seed for feed. Touching upon the grass crops of the United States, he asserted, in most positive terms, that this is a grass State, deserving more careful attention than heretofore paid to it. In short he touched upon every detail of importance in agriculture, the rais ing of- high-blooded horses, which bring good prices in Europe, and bacon hogs, in particular, which' can be raised here successfully. It is only to be regretted that every man, woman and child living in Ander son County could, not be here' so as to hear from a trained mind and an expe rienced teacher of high authority on such matters, how easily the road to prosperity can be reached, if we will only admit that we are not too old to learn something yet, and that there is still roonr for improvement even on farming._' j Cheap.

He seems not to be putted or to feel himself exalted on account of his very important position, but is aplaio and unassuming man with an abundance of common sense. We believe our Southern representatives are doing a great deal of good for the country in getting these prominent men from the North to come into our midst and see for themselves the real condition of the South, with its mag nificent prospects and undeveloped re sources.

During the past few weeks of balmy warm weather, as if by magic the trees have shed their last "sere and yellow leaves," and put on their livery of green. All nature seems to be rejoic ing as it awakes from the long sleep of a bleak and dreary winter. The sweet song of the birds, the blooming of the flowers, the merry whistle of the plow boy, all suggest that "ode to spring," which so many would-be poets will inflict on us. Miss Maggie Tribble closed her school at Sandy Springs last Wednes day evening with an entertainment, which did honor to herself and pupils and was greatly enjoyed by the audi ence.

Miss Docia Brock has closed her school at Denver for the present and I returned to her home at Due West. ! She has promised to return and teach the summer term of our school. It is scarcely to be wondered at that some of our young mon are so anxious to attend the commencement exercises at Erskine College and hear Dr. Tal mage on that occasion. Cadet Will. Garrison stopped over with his parents Saturday on his re turn from Due West, where he had been to attend the Inter-Collegiate Oratorical Contest. He reports having a grand time.
