GEN. S. D. LEK AT GREENWOOD.
Stirring Addrpssto Ills Old Comrades.
The South Needs Immigrants.
Tn ft visit to Greenwood, General
Stephen 1>. Lee made hij address to
the people from the balcony of ltiley's
Hotel.
He gave one of the finest talks of the
kind ever heard hereabouts since the
war. He spoke of the valor of the
Southern soldier during the war, of
the companies of Lee and Grant esne
cinlly, the manner in which Gen. It.
E. Lee met Grant on every battlefield
and the tremendous odds in favcr of
Grant.
To make plain to the young people
the number of northern troops in the
field he showed that he had an army
equal to ours in front of uh. another
of equal size in rear of us, another of
the same size on the right of us another
to the left of us, and then in reserve,
to send to any point they might
wish, an army of between four hundred
and fifty and five hundred thousand
men.
He said that while no country ever
furnished an army equal to the South
for valor, yet our Southern women far
exceeded the men in their devotion to
the cause for which we fought.
He tlu n spoke of his visit t<> Clemson
College, how well pleased he was
at the outlook there and his talk with
KelllltiiV Tillmim ll? t?> tin. fntiis. ?.f
tin-South Carolina College, and how
to make it the grand institution i.t
should he.
He spoke of the great prosperity he
really believed was about to dawn upon
the South. lie said emigration
was now turning toward
the South, and in ten years our laudswould
be worth double what they are
now. He -ai 1 some would say we do
not want any emigrants, but he said
let them eoine. and divide your laud
with them. The trouble of the South
is we are land poor. Not one-fourth
of our land is io>w in eultivation.
lie said in Mississippi, his adop . d
home, in that part o/the Stat - where
the Agricultural College was located,
over one hundred families had moved
in aud settled in the last year or so.
and now you could not buy those farm
liiinls lor less ttinii twenty ?1? 11??rs per
ncrt1. It wcauhl bu tin* saiiic way in
this Stiate it we would encourage emigrants
to coii1c.

Mr?. Joseph M anuel, whose marriage

Costly Cluireli Organs.
It begins to looks as if all tlie leading
churches in Columbia are to have
magnificent new organs. Only about
a year ago Trinity purchased her superb
new instrument. A few days ago
the First Presbyterian Church placed ^
nil order for a $11,0(10 instrument of a
noted make. About six mouths ago i
the Washington Street Methodist
1 Church began to use its costly new instrument.
And now the congregation t
of St. Peter's Church declare that the >
church must have a new and costly iu- 1
strumeut, too. At a meeting it wiu- *
! decided to purchase a splendid org?.'
from the same makers who will furnish
the First Presbyterian Church instru- i
ment. The organ will cost $-,fi00, and t
will be practically the same instrument .
that Viil Li*- furnished the PresbyterUu*.

There seems to be an idea that tlio
managers of last week's elections are
to bo paid by the State for baring

not be. The contingency depends on

(there is a surplus then they will be 1

TIIK INSTITUTK WORK.
What Superintendent Mayfield Has to
Say About It. ; C
Tn submitting his annual report to j b
the Peabody Board, State Superiu- j a
tendent of Education Mayfield, speaks 1 t
as follows in regard to the summer in- j /
stitutions held in the several counties: t
"The year's work in teachers' iusti- ' f
tutes is indeed most satisfactory, and, i 1
in the opinion of all who have had an I
opportunity to judge and have ex- t
pressed themselves, it is the best ever c
done in the State. The Greenville h
institute ran four weeks, Laurens h
C! A 1 i? l a "? i * "?v
luici-, >tjiui i?ii mi rg [Yt'l to III! Iiel(l; c
three, and the others one week each. c
The attendance has been remarkably v
good and the instruction received with k
an enthusiastic spirit. 1 am trying, t
and in a measure have succeeded, in t
changing from a one week institute to v
a three or four weeks summer school a
with regular prescribed courses. Some f
States may make more show and blow, ; t
but I doubt greatly if any of them arc [ v
doing more substantial and satisfactv j t
work than is being done in South 0
Carolina." ! c

A Patent Wood.
Secretary Herbert, Captain Cook,
Commodore Hichborn and Naval Contractor
Taylor witnessed a tire test of i
patent wood for uayaf purposes-at
he Navy Department this morning. I
i piece of vellow nine, two inohoH
hick, twelvo by eighteen inches, wu
int in the furnace and subjected to
000 degrees of heat for live minutes,
t rested upon the coals, and during
hat time it never blazed. When taken
nt it was charred or carbonized about
lalf an inch on each side. This carion
forms a protection and tho wood
hars slower as it is formed. A pieco
1 ash wood of the same dimensions
,as subjected to tho same degreo of
teat for twenty minutes, with about
he same result. The Secretary and
he naval officers were much pleased
rith the test, as it settles an importct
question in the matter of wood
or the new gunboats. It is tho inention
of the department to have the
rood used in these vessels subjeetod
o the new process. The wood work
f other vessels, where there is need
f protection from fire, will probably
lso be subjected to the test.?Waahugtou
