BECAUSE Milwaukecans are disap-

has oputupabout$l,0 00for recount.
The population of that city as found
by the late enumeration is S247.0O0, II
gain of about 1900 since 1890, which
Is about the ratio Of gain for the ten
years preceding, and, as shown by
the Sentinel, in proportion to the
school population as found In former
years-about two to one. The city
clerk. under whose supervision the
census was taken, thinks it is about
right, and that no new enumeration
is necessary. But az the state pays
the bill, he raises no objection to do

PROFITABLE ZINC MINING.
Talk Of New Furnace at Benton.

a correspondent writes to the Mil
YANKEE Sentinel from i nton, Lafay-
cite county, that the sixth annual
meeting Of the Benton Lead and Zinc
Mining Go. held there on the 9TH inst.
was highly satisfactory. "This COM
pany has been engaged in mining for
five years past. Its capital stock is
$4,000. 1t has marketed since its
organization, l4,630,O95 pounds of lead
and zinc ores, for which it has re-
ceived in cash Sl29,044,3l. OF this
sum it has paid in dividends to its
stockholders $44,700, or 93ls per cent.
of the capital stock, which is an av-
erage Of 1885 per cent. per annum on
the investment. Other mines in the
section will do equally well with
good management. The time is at

There is one furnace for the manu-

made into spelter zinc is conveyed

for reducing zine ores, the miners be-

monopoly among the buyers, and the
ores are being sold without regard to
their real value. To meet this state

GEN. S. d. LEE AT GREENWOOD.
Stirring Address to His Old Comrades.
The South Needs Immigrants.

In visit to Greenwood, General
Stephen d. Lee made an address to
the people from the balcony of Riley'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 espe-
cially, the manner in which Gen. r.
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 us. another
of equal size in rear of us, another of
the same size on the right of Us, ana
other to the left of us, and then in re-
serve, to send to any point they might
wish, an army of between four hun
drcd and fifty and five hundred thou
sand 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 then spoke of his visit to Glenn
son College, how well pleased he was
at the outlook there and his talk with
Senator Tillman as to the future Of
the South Carolina College, and how
to make it the grand institution il
should be.
He spoke of the great prosperity he
really believed was about to dawn uu-
on the South. He said emigration
was now turning toward
the South, and in ten years oar lands
would b" worth double what they are
now. He said some would say We do
not wait any cmigrunts. In. lc said
Let them come, and divide your land
with them. The trouble of the South
is We are land poor. Not one. fourth

ABSOLUTELY PURE
A Patent Wood.

Secretary Herbert, Captain Cook,
Commodore Hichborn and Naval Con-
structor Taylor witnessed fire test of
a patent wood for naval purposes at
the Navy Department this morning.
A piece of yellow pine, two inches
thick, twelve by eighteen inches, wss
put In the furnace and subjected to
1000 degrees of heat for five minutes.
1t rested upon the Goals, and during
that time it never blazed. When taken
out it WAS charred or carbonized about
half an inch on each side. This car
bon forms n protection and the wood
chars slower as it is formed. A piece
of ash wood of the same dimensions
was subjected to the same degree OF
heat for twenty minutes, with about
the same result. The Secretary and
the naval officers were much pleased
with the test, rs it settles an import
ant question in the matter of wood
for the new gunbonts. Ii is the in
tention of the department to have the
wood used in these vessels subjected
to the new process. The wood work
OF other vessels, where there is need
of protection from fire, will probably
slso be subjected to the test. Wash

James j. Gillespie, of Washington
street, one of Freeland's most widely
known young men, surprised his friends
last week with the announcement that
he was married for nearly year and
would soon go housekeeping. The
fortunate young lady is Miss May
Cohen, of Chicago, who for the past few
years has resided at Allentown. They
were married last June at the home of
Miss Cohen's parents in the former city.
Mr.. Gillespie, who has achieved a
national reputation as general manager
of the collecting and detective agency
which bears his name, will locate this
week in Allentown, the young couple
having furnished a dwelling on North
Fifth street. He goes from Freeland
with the congratulations and best
regards of all his friends and acquaint-
ances, and will undoubtedly prosper as
well in his new field as in the one he is
leaving.
