, AMERICAN TEA CO.
WILL BAISE TEA IN S. 0.
Contemplate Raisin? 300.000
Pounds Yearly.
j Charlestons. C., Jan. H.- The
[ American Tea Company has pur
: chased 4,000 acr s of land on one
, of the sea islands, near Chariest ou,
and will engage in the planting
of tea on a large scale for com
mercial purposes. The plans of
the American Tea company con
template the production of 300,000
pounds of tea annually.
For the past several dave Major
R. D. Trimble, Colonel A. C. Tyler,
of New London, Conn., and Baron
Von Brunig, of Washington, re
oresenting the American Tea
Company, have been in the city in
consultation with Dr. C. N. Shep
pard, of Summerville, who, during
the past few years, has met with
marked success in the cultivation
of tea. He owns quite an extensive
tea farm just outside of Sum
merville, and the product of his
plantation is used extensively
throughout South Carolina. Dr.
Sheppard knows more about the
culture of tea than any man in the
United StateB.
When Major Trimble and party
arrived in Charleston they made
no secret of the object of their
visit. Last Monday they visited
one of the islands about fifteen
miles from the city, and purchased
4,000 acress of fine lands, which,
when in operation, will yield about
300,000 pounds of excellent tea.
The cultivation of tea in this
state promises to develop wo?der- .
fully within the next few years.
The climate and soil in this sec
tion is peculiarly adapted for the
growing of tea, and the dav is not '
far distant when South Carolina
tea will be sold in almost every
city in the Uuited States.
Dr. Sheppard has several hund
red acres in tea and he finds no
trouble in makiDg shipments. In
fact he has to refuse large orders
every year, as the yield is not
sufficient to the demand.
It is UDderstood Major Trimble,
who will manage the tea fnrm, will
move to Charleston at once and
get the lands in the proper condi- ?
tion for the planting of tea.

The Charter Mill Running in
Excess of Its Capacity.
The secretary of state has re
lived such a number of applica
;ious for commissions and char
gers since the new year that his
office finds it impossible with the
present clerical force to keep the
pace, ai d he i3 compelled to ask
:he indulgence of the applicants.
All applications will be answered
it the earliest possible moment,
but it will doubtless be some days
3efore the small clerical foroe can
jet out all the papers asked for.
Thus far the fees since the opening
)f the new year hav6 amounted
:o about $800.
Here is a list of the papers

Whitewash for farm .ti u il din gs.
Nothing adds so much to the
appearance of farm buildings as
bright and unchanging colors. It
costs a great deal to keep houses
and barns painted, but it is well
worth the money, not merely be
cause of the increased durability,
but because of the improved ap
pearance. Nothing spells pro
sperity in such fair letters, written
large, as well painted farm build
ings. Paint, however, ie dear, and
for a long time farmers who desire
to keep things in first-class shape
have been looking for a cheap
paint or a whitewash that will
Btand the weather and not become
instead of a clear white a dirty
drab in a few weeks or months.
The United States government
has been looking after this, as it
does after almost everything touch
ing farm life, and has hit upon a
whitewash for its lighthouses
which should Btand rough condi
tions. We give the receipt as fol
lows: "Take a half buiiuel of
unslacked lime, slack it with
boiling water, tover during tb.6
process to keep in steam,
strain the liquid through a fine
sieve or strainer, and add to it a
peck of suit, previously dissolved
in warm water; three pounds ol'
groundrice boiled to a thin paste
and stirred in while hot; half a
pound Spanish whiting and ono
pound of glue, previously dissolved
by Boakiug in cold water, and then
hanging over the fire in a small
pot hung in in a larger one filled
with water, add five gallons of hot
water to the mixture, stir well and
let it stand a few day6 covered
from dirt. It should be applied
hot, for which purpose it can be
kept in a portable furnace."
There is nothing in the above that
is not within the reach of evijry
reader. He can buy the material,
except possibly the grouud n?e,
and he can buy that and have it
ground in the coffee mill of with
hie own farm mill, can do all the
mixiug, and apply , it, and having
applied it to one building he can
econ determine whether he wants
to go around the farm and make
his farm the envy of all observers.
The east end of the President's
bouse in Washington is embellish
ed with this whitewash, and if it
is good enough for the White
House it is good enough for any
body else's house or barn. A pint
of this mixture will aver a square
yard and is said to be almost as
serviceable as paint for wood,
brick or stone, and there is no
paint known that will equal it in
cheapness. Why not try it?

_ i
Carleston, S. C., Jan. ll.-Colo
nel William L. Trenholm, of this
city, comptroller of currency dur- (
iug President Cleveland's first t
administration, died in New York ?
last night from congestion of the '
lungs. He had been ill for about .
ten day's. Colonel Trenholm was (
sixty-five years of age, and <
was the son of George A. Trenholm,
who was oecretary of the treasur}'
during Jefferson Davis' admin- j
istration in the Confederacy. 1
Colonel Trenholm's remains will |
be shipped to Charleston for in- 1

residing in New York, where be
has many friends.
Napoleon's Last Day.? as a Pris
oner of State.
Lord Rosebury's book on
Napoleon in exile, a i?risoner of
state, ie one of the year and much
quoted.
With much litera v skill Lord
Rosebery sketches for us the life
of Longwood.
The master of many palaces is
domiciled in a damp house, swept
by eternal winds, containing two
small room* 14 feet by L2 foot and
TO"feet or 12 feet high.
In one corner is a little camp
bed, used at Marengo aud Auster
litz.
Here and on one in the adjoin
ing room he spends many a
sleepless night, while on an old
sofa he passes the long hours of
many a tedious day.
In these extiguous quarters he
upholds at times the rigid etiquette
of a court.
Gourgaud, Bertrand, Mon tholoo
and Dr. Anton Marchi are kept
standing till they are ill with
fatigue and lean agaiuet the
furniture.
If Mme. Berhand or Mme. De
Montholon enterB, and the -men
rise unbidden, they are sharply
rebuked. Napoleon- is served on
gold and silver plate, and waited
ou by French servants in liveries
of green and gold. A vacant place
is kept for the empress, but is
giveu now and then to some favor
ed lady.
"When he drives out it in in a
carriage with six horses and an
equerry in full uniform at each
door.
"His rooms are littered with
books. His one real pleasure is
tho arrival of new works to read.
He took eight hundred volume s to
Waterloo, including the Bible,
Ossiau, Homer, Bossue, and all the
seventy volumes of Voltaire.
"The British government sent
him a bill for ?1,400 for the books,
aud-the sum being unpaid at his
dpath, they sold them in London
for a few hundred pounds.
"These ghmpsee of his life in
captivity present us a new
Napoleon, exhibiting patience and
forbearance with those around
him, suffering their contradic
tions and ill temper in a way we
never expect jrom the selfish, dom
ineering, violent commander.
"We see him playing at chess
not very well, cheating at games,
though never taking winnings,
moralizing against gambling.
Reading and conversation' were
the principal distractions.
"In spite of all, the weariness
and ennui of this mighty spirit
are terrible.
"He turns upon the petulant,
captious, sulky Gourgaud with
pathetic, truth. 'You speak of sor
row, you and L.-:! What Borrows
have I not had ! What things to
reproach myself with ! You a!
any rate have nothing to regret.
Du you suppose that when I wake
at night I have not bad momeutb
when I think of what I was and
what I am?'
"In an eloquent passage, Lord
Rosebery says: 'Eurpe buckled
itself to the uuprecedented task of
gagging and parayzing that in
telligence and force that were too
gigantic for the welfare and
security of the world. That is
the strange, unique, hideous pro
blem which makes the records of
St. Helena so profoundly pain
ful and fascinating.'
"Napoleon often gibed at the En
glish, yet he said : 'The English
character is superior to ours. Th ev
j
are ID everything more practical
than we are. They emigrate, they
marry, they kill themselves 7/itb
less indecision than we display in
going to the opera. They are also
braver than we are. I think I can
?ay that in courage they are to us
what we are to the Russians, the
Russians to the Germans, the Ger
mans to the Italians. Had I
had an English army I should
have conquered the universe.'
"It was the ambition of this re
stless spirit tobe not merely the
lori of Europe, but the emperer
of the east Egypt once in the pos
session of the French, farewell In
dia to the Brithish. This was one
of the grand pojects I aimed at.
The east only wants aman. Now
we shall see what will come to the
English from Russia. Russia is
the power that marches most surely
and with the greatest strides to
ward unsversal dominion, for now
there is no France, therefore ho
equilibrium.'
"Lord Rosebery takes in general
a view favorable to Bonaparte.
This, be it observed, not because
the liberal etatesman is under any
illusion as to the leanings of a
military dictator toward a demo
cracy.
"One of the strongest passages
in this rbsorbii g volume goes to
mow that Conapart feared the
aopulace and had no 'sympathy
ffitt liberty or its aspirations.'
"Morally, he thinks the man
Napoleon not so black as he is
jointed. He euggests that his
sivil and military ?haracter require
;o be treated separately, each by
sxports, and when all is done he
viii perhaps remain an enigma of
aistory, ?>ossibly because the secret
s so complex, possibly because
;here is :none-only the play arjd
iecision of destiny."
