will be interested in reading the
following press notices concern
ing it:
“Seldom is it vouchsafed to
people in this day to behold so
glorious and so inspiring an
event as was the magnificent
spectacle witnessed by a large
audience last evening at the
Lyceum Theater. The lecture
will, if we mistake not, abide
as a lasting benediction. To
one who was not present it
would be hard to convey any
idea of the splendor of the scene,
the beneficence of the occasion.
There was something so much
deeper in the man than even in
what he uttered that his very
presence lent a solemn and sa
cred grandeur to the occasion.
At the close, as well as at re
peated intervals throughout the
lecture, the applause was long
and loud, and the platform was
covered with men and women
who had rushed up to shake the
General's hand.” —JVie Sunday

Death of Mr*. Blanche C Law,
Mrs. Blanche C. Law, relict
of Col. Junius A. Law, died on
Tuesday last after a protracted
illness." The funeral services
were held in the Presbyterian
Church yesterday afternoon at
4 o’clock, and the remains were
interred at Grove Hfill Cemetery.
Five children, one son and four
daughters, survive her. Col.
Law, her husbana, who was one
of the most popular and influen
tial men in Darlington County,
died in 1881. Mrs. Law was a
Miss Crawford, of Marion Coun
ty. Both of her parents died
when she was quite young, and
she was adopted by her kins
man, the late Mr. David C.
Milling, of Darlington County.
Mrs. Law served as postmaster
at this place during President
Cleveland’s flrstadministration,
and gave great satisfaction to
the community in that capacity.
She afterwards filled a position
in the store of Messrs. 8. A.
Woods & Co., and retired from
it only a few months ago owing
to ill health. Mrs Law v.as a
very superior woman, and was
greatly beloved by all who
knew he r She had a large
family connection in this Coun
ty, besides which, she leaves
behihd her a host of friends to
mourn her loss.
“When General Gordon rose
in Washington Artillery Hall
last night, to speak upon the
pregnant and thrilling memories
of the civil war, he was saluted
by an audience which for num
bers and enthusiastic demons
trations of welcome is not often
vouchsafed to public speakers
anywhere. Artillery Hall was
densely packed with citizens.
Possessing a magnificent phy
sique and grand voice, his pre
sence as a public speaker would
command at the beginning the
attention of any audience, but
when there were added to these,
noble thoughts presented with
the ease and grace and dignity
tnat belong to oratory, it is the
simple truth to say that General
Gdi-don threw upon his vast an
dience a spell which enchanted
and enchained them through
every word of his resounding
eloquence.” [Editorial]—Daily

Atlanta has been for weeks
the objective point of delega
tions from the various States
and the targe cities of the Un
ion, gathering there to witness
the great Cotton States' Exposi
tion, but so far nothing has
equaled in number the irruption
of South Carolinians who invad
ed the Gate City on Friday last,
led by Gov. Evans and Senator
Tillman. There were fully
16,000 of them, but Atlanta’s
generous hospitality was equal
to the task of taking care of
distinguished

O « A t prosperous States of the tfi

as were the
hosts of the Palmetto citizens
The South Carolina exhibit in
the Agriculture building is com
prehensive and unique, and
would be worthy of the largest
and most prosperous State in
the Union. It shows a variety
of products and an artistic skill
in arrangement which is sur
prising even to the Carolinians
who visit it. Not only the prod
ucts of the soil and thf dairy,
but the mines, the quarries, the
mills, the forests, the fisheries,
the commerce and the educa
tion of the State are all illustra
ted by their noblest product
ions.
Few realize that in the inter
vals of the more or less prolong
ed periods when she has been
engaged in making things dis
agreeable and lively for Uncle
Sam, South Carolina has been
taking seven league strides in
the march of progress and de
velopment. The shipment of
fourteen little bogs of cotton
from Charleston in 1785, con
stituting the entire crop of the
State, has swelled until now
the State raises one-thirteenth
of the entire American crop,
and its value last year was$2o,-
000,000. The handful of rice
from a wrecked ship planted in
a flower garden at Charleston a
century ago, has expanded un
til it amounted in a single year
to 3,664,000 bushels. Over 17,-
500,000 bushels of corn were
harvested in 1894. A South
Carolina farmer a few years
ago won the $1,000 prize for the
greatest yield of corn to the
acre, in competition with the
entire United States, his yield
having been 254 bushels to
acre. Other records are
bushels of oats, 92 bushel
rice and 2,600 pounds of
cotton to the acre.
Nor is the development of
manufacturing of the Palmetto
State any less marvelous than
the productivness of its soil. In
line with her sister States of the
South, and in advance of many
of them, South Carolina is ex
periencing an industrial awak-
eniu/; which gives splendid op
portunity for the development
of her rich resources. South
Carolina is going steadily for-
wa^d, building mills. In 1880
there were fourteen mills in op
eration; in 1887 there were twen
ty-nine; in 1894 there were fifty-
nine, with charters issued to the
first of May for five new mills.
Her tpindles and looms now
number nearly one third of the
total number of the entire South.
In the single county of Spartan
burg there are sixteen different
companies and twenty two sep
arate mills, operating 390,500
spindles and 12,000 looms con
suming 160,000 bales of cotton
annually, employing 8,000 op
eratives, and paying out in wa
ges and for cotton nearly $10,
000,000 a year. When it is re
membered that to the 13,000,000
spindles of the North the cotton
is hauled from 1,000 to 1,500
miles, we can better appreciate
the advantage of South Caroli
na setting up her millions of
spindles beside ber cotton fields,
and eliminating the heavy cost
of transportation, It is a nota
ble fact that during all the strin
gency of the past three years
the mills and factories of South
Carolina found it profitable to
continue their work on full time
with never a stop, and even ray
ing from 8 to 12 per cent, divi-
dneds from the earnings of the
past fe*F years. They have not
only stood the pressue of hard
times, but they have actually
made money, in some instances
a great deal of money. The av
erage cost of wa er power has
beeen found to be about $1.70
in South Carolina, less than any
State in the Union, and varying
from 12 cents upward, rarely
or never so high as $10. Water
power is more abundant, more
convenientlysituated as regards
railroads and markets, and in
the cities electricity may be had
at a cost of less than the fuel
that would supply a steam boil
er. •
