eacll other on the floor of congress
Never were more brilliant nominat-
ing speeches made. That Of niger
soil, In which he named the plumcd
Knight OF Maine, Is counted among the
political classics. 1t was at this con-
vcnton TINT the Cameron forces were
held SO strongly together that when
Indiana gave her vote to Hayes Mt the
fifth ballot the stampede of delegates
followed and the dark horse came I'M
der the wire.
The Republican convention of 1900
will be more apt TO reproduce some
thing Of the scene Mt Chicago when in
1868 Grant was first nominated. The
Grant convention was full OF the en-
thusIasm that must inevitably nssoci-
ntc with the name of the victorious
general OF great war There was no
contest and the spectacle was rather a
mass meeting to celebrate the restora-
ton Of the Union and the end OF the
term OF the almost lmpcnched johnson
than n convention Of n political party.
For hours the vast assembly did lit
tie but stand on It's feet and cheer and
sing patriotic songs. Old Jesse Grant,
father Of the general, stood near the
front Of the stage, the tears coursing
down his checks, witnessing the glori-
hcatlon Of his son.
Only once in the history of Rcpub-
! llcan conventions has that scene been
equuled, and that was IN Minneapolis
In 1892 when more than 10000 people
checred for n full half hour rs they
chanted with Il pretty woman stand
Ing ON chair and beating time, that
familiar slogan Of
Blaine, Blaine.
James q. Blainei
And the delegates, after they had
shouted themselves into an exhausted
condition In repeating the name Of
Blaine, voted for Harrison when the
time came.
This year there Will be more than
unusual interest In the contest for sec
Oud place on the ticket. We are con-
Stantly told that the Vice president Is
mere ngurchcad and that the senate
rostrum Is the top shelf OF political
oblivion. Yet there Is never a lack of
asplrnnts for this dlscredlted post AS
whose political ambitions are so lofty
TINT they would scorn the vice presi.
deney, 50 we may expect lively
scramble for the place.
There Is also certain to be n lively
interest In the building of the platform.
No party was ever SO wholly united
that varying ideas as to party policy
have been eliminated. There are al
ways radicals ana conservatives SO
at Philadelphia there is bound to be
much talk about the planks which so
TO make up the platform.
What will be the nature OF the dra-
matte scene which will make this con-
ventlon unlike all others? No one can
tell. For this reason the country at
large waits with interest the turning
of that leaf of the future on which we
may read the story.

OUR MOUNTAIN ORATOR.
South Carolina in the Twentieth Century.
A RoSeate View.

WnETsToNE, Oconee County, S.
O., May 21.-Editors Courier: The
twentieth century has dawncd.
Generations have passed away; en-
pires and Kingdoms have fallen; but
Western Carolina, as she climbs to
the top OF the ladder of fame, will
never fall.
South Carolina, with her fresh air
and pure water, bids fair to become
what Greece was in the glory of her
day. 1t is the most healthful place
on earth. The soil is fertile and
productive. What can he produced
in any section of the earth can be
produced here.
Greece nor Rome have ever COM
pared in grandeur and beauty with
this noble Carolina. Switzerland
may have her Alps; Australia may
have her gardens of flowers; the
Pacific may glory in her Sierra
Nevada and Colorado in her Cas-
cadc ranges, but none arc to be COM
pared with our Carolina.
South Carolina, as she views the
wrecks Of ages, and Of fallen en-
pircs, regards it as a scintillation
hardly worth remembering. None
but the Almighty can reveal to US
what this century has in store for us.
The minds and intellect of the
boys and girls Of this mountain Sec
ton are as great as was Alcxander's,
Napoleon's or Demosthcncs', or that
OF any great man of any age.
Our country is on the road to sue
cess and let us push it onward and
upward until it reaches the top
most limit. We cannot realize how
much good will be done in this CEN
tury and how fast South Carolina
will rise to prominence. There ID
room at the top for us. II. r. B.

rye grass, and in general all
the grounds and the roads are
rapidly undergoing such better
mcnts as bid fair to inaugurate
new era in landscape forestry and
gardening among us. We visited
the f." i and found it in a state Of
excellent cultivation. In this con.
ncction, and in view Of much ncces-
sary work about to be undertaken,
it would be matter Of much saving
it the full quota Of convicts that has
been allotted here was furnished
without delay.
Our visit to the experiment sta
tion disclosed to us great number
Of carefully planned and valuable ex-
pcriments i'll progress, with the pur-
pose OF maintaining them through
a series of ycars-a most important
provision.
In every way practicable the at
tcntion Of farmers should be called
to the veterinary department. A
very casual inspection Of it must con
vince anyone that there is light here
to disrc' he barbarous darkness pre-
vailing - :egard to the treatment of
animals.
We visited the hospital and are
gratiiicd to state that we found only
one patient in the wards and that
he was convacscent.
We forbcar further comment ex-
ccpt to say that we sincerely believe
that the institution is making most
unusual and commcndable progress
in every regard under its present
management; that the president,
the faculty and the trustees realize
fully the paramount interests en-
trusted to them, and that the public
may rely safely on their administra-
tion. The one fact that application
for admission to this school has been
made by three hundred pupils more
than II was possible to accommodate
is sufficient to justify higher cnco-
mlnm than any we have passed upon
it.
We have the honor to be, very
respectfully, your obcdicnt servants,

The Southern Baptist Convention
at Hot Springs is reported to have
been electrified on Monday by the
cloqucncc of Charles S. Morris,
colored preacher who appealed to
the convention in behalf Of the mis-
sions in Africa. The newspapers
say the delegates were so much ex-
cited that they throngcd about the
platform and threw wads of money
at the preachers feet despite his
strong protests. Baptist preachers
as rule are not easily carried off
their feet and Southern Baptists are
not usually easily impressed by
negro. Remembering these facts,
we must conccdc that this man must
be very remarkable orator. lie

pcrs in oratory and strong race
prejudice, and his effort may be re-
gardcd as a wonderful one.

Courier Last week we had frost up
in the hills. Sunday and yesterday
the mercury crawled up from 80 to

Now, let me fish some, Messrs.
Editors. When l see the tons of

kinds of fish coming out of the

a veritable smokehouse for thou

This law should be either enforced
or erased, as it's an insult to mans
intelligence. Let the cash thrown
away on it go to enlarge the asylum.
It's shame to see this outrage
winkcd at, and the up.country cut
off entirely from the migrating va
rlctlcs that would swarm in the
keowee, Seneca, Tugaloo, &c, each
summer if permitted. Let some
member of the Legislature immortal
lzc himself by starting crusade
against this fish trust that will bring

The Courts jumped on the Porto

who still fear its sound and crouch

at his masters feet.

Producing Early Peaches.

Mr. j. II. Hale, the great Amer
lean peach grower, is reported to
have said that he gets peaches two
weeks earlier by the following
method In the middle of the
growing season put a strong wire
around a large arm of tree and
twist it fairly tight. This checks
the flow Of sap and causes fruit buds
to form early and in great number.
The fruit on the branches of this
arm vii! ripcn two weeks earlier
than on the untrcated branches, and
will be much more highly colorcd.
But this part Of the tree will be 80
weakened by the treatment that it
should be cut away after fruiting,
that new shoots may come and take
its place. Thus one large arm or
limb OF tree may be forced each
year.

Farmers Institutes.

President 1Iartzog announces that
Farmers Institutes will be held in a
limited number of counties this year for
the instruction Of the people in rho
various branches of agricultural science.
The course of Lectures will be arranged
TO present to those in attendance the
results of the most recent Investigations
III the theoretical and practical agricul-
ture, and as far as possible to make the
subjects discussed meet the spccial
needs OF thc-locality where tho institute
is held.
All expenses Of the meeting will be
met by the college. The community in
which the institute is held is expected
to provide suitable place for the speak
ing, to advertise the meeting and to ar
range the minor details. 1t is desirable
That local speakers assist in the exercises
OF the institute by discussing subjects in
winch they are most Interested, or in
which they have had successful cx-
prricncc.
1t may not be practical always to hold
he institute on the day desired by tho
community, as different places some
times ask for the same date. The final
selection of the date must, therefore, be
lcit to the college authorities, but tho
wishes of tho community will be OBJ
served as far as practicable.
Ihe institutes will begin about the
sent IN at once. Specify the time and
the place, and the names of the gentle
men who are willing to serve on the local
committee.
I'll" sHhj"cts discussed at the insti-
tnteS should be adapted to local condi-
tions. We, therefore, ask those inter
ested to designate the subjects that arc
believed to be OF the greatest interest to
the locality. Among the subjects that
the members of the institute are pre-
pared to discuss may be mentioned:
Improvement Of soils. grasses and
lcgumcs, horticulture, plant diseases,
botany, entomology, insects and insccti-
cidcs, methods Of spraying, dairying,
animal husbandry, farm manurcs, vctcr-
mary science, fertilizers, chemistry of
soils, truck farming, drinking waters,
road improvement, industrial education.
About the middle of August an insti-
tntc lasting one week will be held at
Clemson College. The exact dato and
arrangements Tor the board and lodging
will be announced later. We have one
hundred new tents and parties desiring
to camp on the grounds will be furnished
tents free. Distinguished lecturers
from abroad have been invited to assist
in the summer institute, and every effort
will be cXcrtcd to make the occasion q
pleasant and profitable one.

NORWAY BRANCH AGAIN.
PASSENGER SERVICE RESUMED THE

REJoICEs GREATLY.

NORWAY IL once more on the railroad
map. Hope has been so long deferred
that it WAS pretty nearly given up. But
IL was only postponed a month. The
original orders were TO resume passen-
ger service on the Norway Branch the
fi-st day Of January. Instead OF that,
the service was resumed on the first day
of February.
Very little was said about IL before
hand, but during last Wednesday night
the Branch train appeared and was
ready for business at the opening OF the
railroad dsy Thursday.
The business men OF Norway were so
reinieed AZ the event that some sixty or
seventy made an excursion on the ne"
train when il ran over 10 south Paris 10
connect with the forenoon trains Ii was
happy and lively crowd, and more or
less fscetious remarks were indulged 10
ar the expense of the electric road, which
of course suffers some loss OF patronage
ON account OF the re-opening OF the
Branch.
In the afternoon thirty or forty OF the
ladies of Norway got up an excursion
over the Branch on their own account
A drum corps was extemporized, AND
the resumption of steam road comes

enthusiasm and noise.
