PHILOSOPHY OF IME HOT WENIHEE
\ gentleman Who has made study Of
these matters accounts for the Hast torrid
dispensation III this wise; liz SAYS that
owing to the last mild winter the ice for
nation of the north polar regions was
much smaller than usual. Hence there
is Il marked deficiency Of that glacial
action which during the summer pours
that accumulated store of ice and snow
from the mountainous coasts of Greenland
and the main continent in continuous
stream into the North Atlantic Ocean
The climate of the Eastern States, as well
as OF Western Europe, is greatly modified
by this southern summer drift Of Ice
bergs, which cool5 the waters heated by
the Gulf stream, which promotes the
cloud formation falling upon terra tirma
i'll grateful summer showers, and which
generates the east winds that rush in to
take the place Of the heated and rareficd
air which continually rises up from the
land. The notable absence this year of
these m0istening and refreshing agencies
wpuld naturally lead to warm and dry
summer on our Atlantic coast.

PENDLEroN, s. c., July 6, 1878.

Mr.. EDITOR: Some time last year, during
the discussion upon the adoption of the
stock law, I heard prominent gentleman
assert that clover could not be grown sue
cessfully in this country. Having had some
little experience and observation in the
West on this subject, had believed that it
could be- done as we'll here as any where,
and accordingly two years ago commenced
to make meadow of sixteen acres, and it
is now well established and / have this
Spring cut and cured, at a rough estimate,
some twenty-five tons Of good hay; and the
second cutting is now we'll advanced, and
will be ready for the mower by the lst OF
August.
But the principal object had in view was
to tell you how much hay in pounds have
taken from one-half acre of land. The hay
was well cured and dry, and by actual weight
was thirty-three hundred pounds from the
half acre, or at the rate of si1ty.six hundred
pounds to the acre. Of course, this was the
best part Of the meadow, but I think itcured
at the rate of two tons per acre from several
places in it. There has been no doubt that
clover could be grown on highly fertilized
plats of ground around town, but the ques-
ton was, could the farmers grow fields of it
successfully?
One other thought. Generally speaking
at this season of the year, and often earlier,
great many farmers are out of fodder. and
the clover ripening in May bridges the chasm
nicely until fodder pulling time, if they must
pull fodder, the propriety of which 1 very
much doubt.
This has been done on the farm of Capt.
]. E. Adger, gentleman to whom the
County owes much for his liberal and pro
gressiye spirit in the matter of agriculture.
Now, do not give you these facts in
spirit of boasting but hoping that others
seeing what has been done may be promp.
ted to go and do likewise.
Yours truly,
D. h. RUSSELL.

BARBECUE At MAI. MoeEE's.

The barbecue at Maj. Elias McGee's on
the fourth of July was a;complete success
in the attendance and in the execution of
the arrangements of the day. From two to
three thousand persons were present, and
the ustermost sociability and perfect order
prevailed throughout the entire day. Early
in the morning the Anderson Palmetto
Band arrived, and from time to time enli-
vened the occasion with its most beautiful
music. Captain J. 8. Smith was also pres
ent with detachment of his artillery COM
pany, consisting of Messrs. N. Scott, A. N.
Hall and s. P, Wilson, in charge of the old
.tReformer," which made the hills of the
Savannah reverberate with the peel Of can
non.
The meeting was called to order by. Dr..
A. G. Cook, the chairman, who introduced
US the first speaker Gen. w. W. Humphreys.
He was followed in The morning by Judge
Reed, Col. Rucker, Maj. Moore and Dr.. w.
q. Brown, and in the afternoon by E. B.
Murray, Esq, Hon. B. F. Crayton, Maj.
,B. F. Whitne and Capt. j. T. Barnes =
The speeches generally were short and
pointed, and as the speakers selected their
own subjects there was quite o variety in
their subject matter.
The event Of the day, however, was the
splendid barbecued dinner, which was most
highly enjoyed by sll present, and would
have been abundant for q crowd of double
the size of the one assembled. Mai. McGee,
the hest Of the occasion, was unremitting
in his efforts TO contribute to the comfort
and pleasure of his large crowd of visitors,
and in this effort he was most efficiently
seconded and assisted by the entire neigh
borhood, who. in this demonstration, proved
beyond DOUBT that the proverbial hospital
ity of the Corner. township is not without
adequate foundation.
In the afternoon there was drill of o
Batalion of the Western Regiment, consist
ing of the Companies of Captains Sanders
and Bryant, Maj. McGee commanding and
Col. Jones also participating. is
The young people assembled in the after
noon to enjoy the social dance, and the day
ended without q circumstance to mar its
pleasure, and those who attended dwent home
with nanght but the recollection of things
which were agreeable.

PUBLIC EXAMINATION AT THE GREE
LEY INSTITUTE.

Mr.. EDITOR: Responding to an invitation
given through your paper to attend the e1'
animation of the pupils of the above school,
few of our white citizens were present on
that occasion, last Thursday, 4th July.
At 10 o'clock large crowd had assem-
bled, and were seated in the grove in front
of the Institute. After several pieces well
rendered by the colored Band, the exercises
were opened by the repetition of the Lords
Prayer, beautifully repeated BY Francis
Thomas. Several classes were then called
out and. examined by the Principal, G. D.
Williams. We were pleased to note the
prompt answers to all the questions pro.
pounded: One of the most important fea-
lures of the day was the normal or training
class, consisting Of fifteen pupils. They
were first examined in grammar and then
in history, and the whole class acquitted
themselves handsomely. Owing to the
confusion of the very large crowd present
it was impossible to carry out the pro-
gramme, and the class in mathematics was
not examined. The last thing on the pro-
gramme was addresses by four of the males
and essays read by four of the females. The
addresses were committed to memory and
well delivered, and the essays were well
prepared and read by the females. We
were we'll pleased with this last part of the
exercises, and must say that the parties did
credit to themselves and to the instructors.
After short addresses from two of the visi-
tors the exercises were closed and dinner
announced. The patrons of the school had
not forgotten to bring their baskets well
filled with food for the inner man, and very
soon the long table was well filed with
good things, and ready to be consumed by
the waiting assembly. A nice table was
prepared in the piazza for the visitors, and
we can only testify to our appreciation of
this repast by asserting that the bountiful
supply on this table was very soon made
considerably less by thoseinyited to partic-
ipate.
We must say word of commendation to
the singing engaged IN by the whole school.
The colored people have always shown
talent and love for music, and the pieces
sung on this occasion went far towards
making the occasion pleasant and agreeable.
In conclusion, we must say, Mr.. Editor,
that we were well pleased with our visit,
and were surprised as well as rejoiced to
see the improvement that the colcred people
have made in the last FIVE years. From all
we could see on that day we. believe that
che principal has been very successful in
his work and faithful to the duties entrus-
ted to him. We would encourage the col
ored people in their efforts to obtain an ed
ucation, and heartily approve of all of their
efforts to elevate themselves up to the STAN
dard of good citizens.
