Speeches Made lly Governor Kvaus und the lion. Patr.ek Walsh. Caroliniuus are ull awake. This is distinctively u day of go-nhcadiveness and co-oneratiou, and Iho business men lmve put their shoulders to the wheel and mean to pull nil together in having tho Palmetto State leuil at the Chicago Southern and Cotton States j Exposition. When Commissioner Iloche called tho Convention to meet at Spartan- j burg not even so enthusiastic worker j as he is dreamed of so large and so representative convcutiou as arsem.blcd at' his call. It was a business | convention made up of business men, j mou who have been in the lead in tho j industrial development of tho State, men who have the interests of the State at heart, and who expect to lunko u success of the undertaking. The Exposition movement lias started out with the most encouraging prospects. Men were surprised at the numbers, character und earnestness of the delegates. The Convention has started tho "ball" rolling in splendid shape. There was a conspicuous uvoidaueo of all cut and dried procedure und it was i a free and open convention of the poo- j plo from the entire tSt?te. Tho scope and necessity of tho Exposition were lullv und eloquently set forth by llou. Patrick Walsh, of Augusta, CIiu Spartauhurg did its share of the initial work. Mayor Cal A. M.- /It ? i * vcri, mr. vieveuuiu ami tlioir associates had everything in i\]>pIc-i>io order tor starting iho machinery, au<l ii'ranged for a most delightful entertainment.

There is, however, ho re- | marked, a tide in this Stuto which, if taken at its flood, leads on to success, and he was sutisti that the flood was now here. The South had resources and advantages, and is rapidly going to the front. Its great advantages i have been partly recognized. There was no need to recount the development of the South in the last few years, but lie believed the time had come ; wlien pnrtiio would bo organized ne- j (-rding to g* i grit lie lilies and not so ( n.ueli on principal. The South and ' est must and wiil unite for mutual protection. In the last ten years tin: I South has gone rapidly forward in j manufactories. In 181)0 th> re were only :r?0,O0<> spindles running in South Carolina, while now there arc l in tile State over a million spindles. 1 South Carolina must advertise herself | and Mow her horn. There is no need for narrow-mindedness iu hiding fr.>111 tlie world the advantages of the State. There should bo no fllU'h etlbrt. ile believed the 1 people of the I'b bnoiit were willing to lo lp advertise tlie State. All that ia a.-ked is to fnridsh the exhibit, ('lit- j eago will supply the building.

The South must advertise her resources and product*, an ! this is her oppoi tiitiitx . We met wit it some sue- 1 eess m the appeals for the Atlanta K.x- I position, but very little was rul ed out- i .side of Churn stou. There is no iva- ! son to have Midi indifference again, < and lie did not 1 eliove tiiat tetch wiik ! the spirit of thi* eonvi ntiou. He j hoped for and e.xnreted success. Hon. t'nlrlck Walsh.

The South has uu absolute monopoly of eottou production. Tlaia being the i ease there is uo reasou why it should { uot manufacture all its cotton. The evidences are all that the mills are coming to the cotton. Fifteeu years ago Mr. Atkiuson said the South could not compete with Now England in cotton manufacturing. Heboid the result now. New* Euglaud manufacturers admit they can uo longer compete with the South in coarse cot ton goods. It is now a case of the survival of the littest, and as wo have distanced the East in mauufa miring coarse cotton goods so will we lead iu the liner goods. Hero in your*own county is a striking exemplification. Tweuty-two years ago I you had about $30,009 iu yarn mills ! aud tod iy you have over $5,000,000 iu1 vested, aud you payout here over $10, | 300,000 fur supplies ami labor.

Ho | went ou to admit South Carolina lends j iu cotton spindles. llis friend, Mr. EIeru]>hiil, of The News nud Courier, : bad taken him up 011 his claim that Ucorgia led in the number of eottou 'piudles, and the authorities say Mr. Hemphill was correct; that South Car1 oliua led the South us to the number of spindles. On substantial and cmforvativo lines there is no reason why the South should not, progress profitably in this manufacture. Mr. Walsh took up the economy question of the accumulation of wealth in the Northiast and the tariff system. This Exposition, ho said, is the best opportunity to advertise her products ever offered, nud he would bo surprised if the South did not spontaneously accept the proposition. In concluding Senator Walsh stated that his word for the Chicago Exposition was with him simply a labor of love, no matter how much we glory iu the achievements of the oast, we will be dead to our advantages if we do not seize upon this opportunity to advance the development of the South. Major Hemphill raid that* South Carolina beat the South at Atlanta, und she was going to beat the South at Chicago, lie weut on to say it would take from SIS,000 to $10,000 to carry out the plans of the committee an 1 have South Carolina represented.

It ' N SOUTH CAROLINA TEA PLANTING, RESULT OF OK. SHKI'ARD'S EXPEKIMENTS. Ho Expowntho Myitrrles of Too Plantlux uud tho Kutlouale of Tcu Ala king. Dr. Shopnrd, of Summcrvillo, has issued a pamphlet entitled "May Ten bo Profitably Grown in tlio Southern States?" in which tho subject is most interestingly discussed, and the following extracts therefrom will prove profitable reading: Dr. Shcpartl shows thnt tho estnb nsumeiu oi a productive teu garden involves very considerable expense. A well appointed garden, of good quality nud of largo leaf production, with few Vacancies and of vigorous growth, a sufficient body of reliable laborers, and i and a tuitably equipped factory cost s great deal of money and attention. A 'well appointed tea garden implies fa- i jvorablo conditions of soil and exposure to sun, with protection from wintry [blasts and the avoidance of etaguaut water about the roots of the plant. Goad quality means that the plants Lave been raised from the best seed attainable or capable of being grown iti the local climate. The Assam variety unquestionably leads. It derives its name from the northeastern province of British India, which was wrested from Burinuh early in this century. Its leaves aro bright green and largo, often attaining a length of seven or more inches and brond in proportion. Few regions elsewhere appear to be favorable to the growth of this variety, although long ago the forests of those jungles havo given place to well ordered tea gardens, where the indigenous plants bask in full sunshine, a requisite for the remunerative production of tea crops. The attempt is being made at Pinehurst to cultivate some of this variety, but the severe weather (lo degrees Fahr) to which this section of Mouth Carolina is liable makes success less i probable and it may be that fully i lmrili>lii'il uinl nnnilv lilmilu ni-u I ^ ! ...-.>-..iuvU[muiu of enduring such extreme cold and , that by grafting or otherwise uslightly I lower type may bo obtained for sue- 1 cessful use. At the other extreme is the Chinese | variety It is a low, bushy shrub, slow of growth, adapting itself to a great 1 range of eliinute and capable of withstanding frost, buow and iee. The leaves ate of a dark green eolor, tough und small. Intermediate between tho Assam and Chinese types stand the so-called "Hybrids" and reproducing in titer count- 1 less varieties the characteristics of both j the parent sorts. It has been observed at I'inehurst how few tea plants aro ' not susceptible of great improvement { in form, productiveness aud quality by , liberal cultivation. It is generally i held by English authorities that those 1 Hybrids which stands nearest by ' origin aud in their nature to the Assam are to be more highly prized. In this connection Dr. fShcpard pro- ^ reeds to show the advisability of planting only the best seed in each locality and then explains fully what is mciuit by a "iltish" in tea culture. . As regards temperature he thinks the best climate for tea is a warm oue, ranging during the year from 43 to 90 degrees Falir, without | sudden variations or severe wind storms, and the rain fail should be i ? abundant aud evenly distributed [ t throughout tho year. The ten plant is an enormous feeder. | ' If the soil does not afford abundant J i food arfitical eurielinii'iit must bo re- j ! .sorted to. Liberal Urtili/.ation angments not only the quantity lmt iui- , proves the quality of the baf, as tias i been demonstrated experimentally ut l'iuehiirst. The picking of the leaf in a garden ol ) twenty five nerea will keep a l'oree ot i Hay twetity-live ehildren almost eontin- 1 uoiislv lutsy during the season. With , patience and attentiou colored ehil- i dren 111 the Southern States quickly 5 learn to perform the task satisfactorily. ( In the earlier lluskes they are taught | to pick only the unexpected leaf bud at tin; end of the shoot (the Pekoe tip.) For the present only black teas arts , made at i'iuehurst, and consequently I a brief description of what is necessa- ' ry for flu ir maiiutacture must suliiee. 1 1 he tirst step is the withering; of the , lresh leaf. This is effected by thinly spreading out tin* the leaf on the iloors and trays, so that every pound shall I . cover about ten square feet. As each ( i pound of finished tea represents 1 1T> \ pounds of fresh leaf, it will be seen ! that an output of one hundred pounds , of dry tea per diem requires about | 1,000 square feet of withering surface. 1 Tho purpose of withering is to render , (he fresh leaf susceptible of being i rolled without breaking. As it comes 1 to lho factory it is crisp and elastic; J ? i i./...t :? ; i: . i w?"ub u iiiiiiifduiieiy rcKiimoH | ( its former sliapo. Withering requires | 11 light. airy room.

A Notable Increase In the Volume of Business Dun A Co. and Brudstreot, of New York, in their weekly review of trade say: Failures for the past week have boon 223 in tho United States against 211 hist year and 3G in Canada against 31 last. year. The sudden change from sleighing to midsummer bent lias tested the prevalent idea that good weather only was needed to bring general improvement of business. Everywhore there has boon more retaU buying, and in some brunches better demand at wholesale and at the works has resulted but not as yet in most lines. There is no abatement of tho almost universal disposition to deal with unusual conservatism, and not to anticipate luture wants, and this lias boeu especially conspicuous where combinations have been formed or prices advanced. To many interested in iron ore and coke, steel billets. Bessemer pig and various forms ofsteel.it llinv be illsiuiiioiiitiiu- Hint <I,m formiug of combinations anil Ilxing <>f prices have not sturted eg lin the rush to buy ahead of needs, which made last year so mctuorauble. The demnnd for goods does not improve. Some demand for sta:>lo cottons has lieon aroused l>y bargain prices, but the closing of many mills for a time is urged as n x-cssary. ' Partly because of low prices, which nro again the lowest over known, tho volume of business represented by clearing liutiso Cxi-hanges, which is 5 per eent. larger than last year, is UO.-I percent, smaller llian in April, IWJ. ltailroiid earnings for April thus tar show a gain of only 'J.(I per eent. over last year.

There is n hotter demand for eotton machinery to go South; Eastern eojton dyers are busier, and there is a demand for hardware; machinery and Ioeomotives. increased volume of business is most conspicuous West at Si. Louis, Chicago, Kansas City, Oinahu, Milwaukee and Memphis. Less guin is shown on the l'ueille coast except in export lines. A marked evidence of hotter feeling is found In tho steadiness and the upward tendency of many quotations for staples. Additional evidence of an increasing volume of business is found in tho tolnl of bank tearings this week, c-lWi.oOO, 0 per cent, more than in the corresponding week ono year ago. , IMiOtiUICSS OF Til IS SOUTH.
