It seems to us that it is particularly j appropriate just now, that a sketch of j the resources, natural advantage?, and climatic conditions of Fairfield should be written up br competent hands. We believe that we are now on the eve of better things?better railroad facilities and more of them, increased value of our lands, and better markets Ufor oar crops of all kind.*, and if our hopes are realized an exhaustive account of the many advantages, both natural and acquired that Fairfield presents to the consideration of hemeseekers will more than repay us in h good results. What a delightful contrast would it be could we succeed in getting into our midst scattered over the vaiious portions of our county a class of working, self-supporting incomcrs. How the old couutv and [town would boom. How these old red hills of ours would fairly bloom P and sparkle under an intelligent cuitivati?n br such a class. It is so much easier to see wrong Iff conditions than it Is to suggest practical preventives, but we believe that with a county such as ours is?jvith so much land going to waste under a wrong system of working, an intelli gent, law abiding immigration would do a great deal toward benefitting our condition. This is no new idea, it isu't offered as such, merely a reminder tnat we need something, and need it badly. 1 Now we want that railroad and we should not rest until we hare it. We have got to fight out the future prosperity of Fairfield just on the line of railroads. The only way v? e can <jet y people of intelligence and push to . Istw..,. come into our midst is by the railroad. The way to increase the value of our lands here now is to get better rail^ road advantages. Let us have them. |P|k Xow about the industrial ?fcectb. Let some man gifted with what Bill Xje HT ? calls a trenchaut pen write up this | county. Talk about its water power, gK~ its unsurpassed grauite, its adaptability for ijrapc culture, and all the soil advantages that it possesses. These things can be said, and said B&P truthfully. Why not say them. There is not a in-?re delightful climate any where than we can offer i right here. A man who breathes the tonic ozone that couies over our hills p and dales will not need much phvsic I of any other sort. H And now lastly our people. Fair- j field ha< gr?wa big men, anu ever i F since ncr jciutiiicm sue uus laiucicu a r.-ice of n ?b!e men and w?me?. We believe our people are equal to any, and when we gei our railroad we can lo?k for a good class of incomers, for we verily believe that they will seek the best land, the best cliruite and the best people.

[Editorial Orrkspoxdexck.] ! The commencement exercises of the ( South Carolina University which j < last week were unusiikllv inter- I e?ting and pleasant. We are able to j ijive but a slight synopsis of the events that occurred in thi< institution of 'earning that bus so long been an importune factor in South Carolina's ( progress. I The first event was on Friday eve uing, June 12, being a reunion of the nine Greek fraternities that tnet for} once en s common ground. Considering that rivalries ure otten engendered between these Collegiate orgaoiz- i ations, it is pleasant to *ee that fraternal spirit existing in the University. A banquet was served by Fagan i Brother?, and IVof. R. Means Davis was the master of the feast, and happily did he fill the p >sition. His address and tiie speeches made by the students were much applauded. Many ladies graced the occusion and xdded zest to the proceedings. On Sunday morning the llev. Dr. Beattie preached the sermon before the Y. M. C. A. He compared Christianity with other s)steius f?t Philosophy and Religion, and showed its great superiority in the solution of several vital problems, among them the problems ?f origin, Deity, and of a Future State. In the evening the Rev. Dr. Pritcbard, of Wilmington, N. C., delivered the baccalsurate sermon before a crowded Chapel. He made a defenc* of Christianity against its various enemies and pictured the defects in the philosophy of infidelity aud censured the standard of morals <>f the leading skeptics. His sermon tvas an appeal to the sympathy of his hearers, and some of his passages were exceedingly touching. Monday morning was set apart for Senior Class exercises. Mr. F. C. Withers presided, and the programme was interesting and characterized by genuine wit and humor. In the opinion of its members the class, baring already scoopedi.'h all the glory th*t_can..cOiiic" from collegc life, is ready tv conquer all fields of knowledge and material industry. It is in1 ? * - waH ^?f r\f" f )ia FticK. uecu & UUC , IT V/i iwjr V/4 V.UV * ?*??? tutioH. The Euj?hradian Society held its iual meeting on Monday ereniiig. Mr. Gamble, of Williamsburg, delivered the valedictory, and Mr. H. W. Cooper, of Snaater, the Junior oration. Mr. Charles A Douglass, our former townsman, delivered the medals to Mr. Glenn, the first huuor man ?f ?91, for debate; and Mr. Daum, of Camden, for declamation. It is imps&ible to give a urnopsi* of Mr. Douglass' address, but it can justly be pronounced one ot the be?t iver deliv ered 01: that historic rostrum. Eloquence, wit and humor were skillfully blended; and (he speaker was continually iiterrupted with enthu-i astic appluuue. lie made a capita; hit. President Furse, ul' Barnwell, then delivered the society deplomas to the Euphradiau graduates and in well chosen senteuces gave them the benediction of their Society. Tuesday was law class day. Professor Pope presided as judge, in appearance, uml legal acumen and grace of nuerauce he showed himself, as he is well known to be a veritable Nestor of the Bar. He would grace the judicial ermine any where. The case was a knotty one embracing a question of executory devise and contingent remainder, and was too deep for me profane, hut the lawyers present were much interested in its presentation by Messrs. Edwards and Padgett for the Plain till' and Messrs. Yf^fi^wftn and Greenou^h for the de feme. After a hard ~figl>t, and a luminous exposition by the Judge, the appeal was dismissed with costs. Mr. Lewis W. Park?r, of Greenville, then delivered the annual address before the law class. It was well conceived and well delivered, being replete with wise suggestions and patriotic sentiments. Mr. Parker is already making a name lor himself at the bar. Tuesday evening was se^ apart for the final exercises of the C-ariosnpic Society. Mr. J. II. Maiiwn, of Chester, was Junior orator *ud Mrs. E. (>. Sarratt, of Union, delivered trie valedictory. They presented thoughtful addresses. Col. LeRoy F. Yonmans the "silver tongued Ulysses," then in a very graceful and scholarly address, delivered the medal for declamation to Mr. W. II. Lipscomb, of Columbia, ?m<? tlio mortal jiiul I'rtroliman medal for essays to Mr. Guatavus M. Pinckner, of Charleaton. Tlrs double hour gave Col. Yotuuans ample opportunity fur printing out the excellences both of oral argument and of written expression of thought. Mr. Pinckney is a brilliant young man, ; and hi* victory was applaudel to the echo. President Verner then delivered the diplomas. Before doing so : he branched oat into a speech in which he poi ited oat the defects and adran- 1 tages in the Institution, the duty ot ' Columbia and the Mate, and the ex- ^ press duty devolving on| the students j and alumni to foster their Alma Mater. His address was unique and was I: heartilv enioved. J ?y After the close of the Clar;o$?j>hic 1 program, President McBrydi gave ' bis annual reception to the Senior ! class and their friend* This is always ' one of the social erenu of the Keas?n; and on this occasion was more than ' usuilly charming. lie felt that it was : to he the last reception by the Pic*i dent ?vho is so universally esteemed | and beloved, ar.d of Mrs. McBrvde, ? i - t I .,|| i U?> nliu lists uccu * luuiuci iv uu iuc uiu- : dents looking after their pleasure aud j 1 carefully attending to their wants j1 when sick, infused a tinge of sadness ! J however into the pleasure. There j' were gliftening eyes when the hour;' approached to say farewell. The regular commencement ej.er-1 cises were held on Wednesday at half! past nine o'clock) the faculty and stu- I( den;s assembled at the library under j: the direction of Professor Davis as ! chief marshal Governor Tillman and j ' other members of the Board of Trus* : te?-s were present. The procession j: moved to the chapel where an intelli- j; gent ami s\ mpathetic audience soon j assembled. i ^t'veiiti'fii graduates were appointed 1 in iif program, bill several asked to j ] be excused, and there were twelve ; J addresses. It is impossible to give j mention yf all. But they were of j more than usual merit, and were much j enjoyed. Mr. F. C. Wither?, of Fair- ' field, was one of those who received J most applause. ; * President MoBryde read a long lii-t j1 of students who had attained the grade 1 of highest honors and distinction. J, The delivery ot diplomas and certiti- t cates next followed. Of these there i were tifiy-one, showing the srood work : ( that has been done by the University i! alike in its academic department and ! in the professional school of Law,1J Pharmacy and Pedagogy. j 1 The degree of P. H. P. the highest 11 k: i University can bestow, the fir*t that tia> ever been given by the University, and probably the Inst, (?ince the extinction ot the University feature,) was awarded to Mr. T. P. Bailey, Jr., of Georgetown, Dr. Bailey received lieatening applause. He is a young man of brilliant part?, and his graduating has received the warm encomiums of inch distinguished men as Stanley HaM. Oilman, Baldwine and Soldon. The degree of D. I), was awarded to the liev. W. K. Atkinson, the distinguished educator, and an alumni of the collegp. To Dr. Frank Fever Porchei, whose name is a household word in South Carolina, and especially in Wiunsbaro, who has made such valuable contributions to balonical and other scientific literature, wa> delivered the decree of L. L. D. 'ihese degrees coming from so conservative an institution on high compliments and were much appreciated oy ineir iai[ncm9 ?m; received them in person. Then came the crowning event of the day, the baccalaureate address by President McBrvde. To most persons he is known only as a scientist and an admirable executive. But his many baccalaureate addresses have stamped him as one of the most effective srt akers. Lofty sentiment, deep sympathy, high aspiration are clothed in pure dection. His last address, owing ; to the peculiar circumstances surrounding the event surpassed all others. Many a tear stole unbidden to the eye, , as the young men looked for the last tim<? nn thar. fionire which for nine years had stood before thein uttering words of wise counsel and hearty commendation. They looked 011 him who had ever been firm but mild, had appealed first to the nobler sentiments before using the rigor of discipline, whose one thought had ever been the welfare of the College and the wellbeing of the young men interested him. At the close of his valedictory a pleasant surprise awaited him. President F. C. Withers of the Senior Class, slipped forward aud in behalf of the Students presented Dr. XcBrvde a magnificent silver pitcher and goblets. Dr. McBrvde was much moved, but ta n lmu.|>!nn o?wl f f?ncr ration*#'. iuau<& a ivkiviitu^ ?.?v* But when somewhat later. Prof. S. J. Duffie, in behalf of the Alumni pre-1 sen ted a handsome silver servise~a$. their testimonial, Dr. McBryde was able nly to express thanks in a few Jbrofcen words. The audience fc'Cre in full sympathy and made the chapel ring. ^N'ext President Withers begged to present a picture of the class of '91 handsomely framed, to Dr. James Woodrow, and expressed the hope that when the trustees have completed their work the nresident of the College will be Dr. "Woodrow, (applause). Dr. Woodrow made a very happy response to the young men, and assured them that whatever be his future he will be j a co-laborer with them in securing! the prosperity of the College. President Duffie of the Young Alumni then introduced Mr. H. C. Patton, of Columbia, as Alumni orator. Mr. Patton who is one of the most brilliant; graduates that the College has sent forth acquitted himself with great credit He spoke of the necessity of the young meu's going into politics, that is, such politics as is known as statesmenship. Far half an hour he spoke, and although the audience had been sitting a loug time, lie held their undivided attention to the close. Mr. Patton is a very graceful speaker, both in diction and address, and he made a capital impression. At the close of his address the benediction was pronounced by Rev. Mr. Flinn, and the commencement was over. In the afternoon a business meeting of the young Alumni was held. A large number were present, and they were enthusiastic iu their determination t? allow the College to take no step backward. Measures were taken >--t _ rpK? A 1nln I looting" lo SUUSUWlUill U1U. J. lit Alum- i ni are already educating two students, while the Alumni of Marion County themselves have sent a third. Mr. Lewis W. Porker, of Greenville, was elected President, and Mr. F. II. McMaster, Secretary and Treasurer, the latter being heartily applauded for his previous energetic work in that posi- , tion. "Wednesday evening, the Cth annual commencement bali was held in Agricultural Hall. It was well attended, and a great success, peculiarly , free from any such "irregularities as sometimes occur on festive occasions. 1 The parents and cnaperones present saw nothing *11 the part of the students that could be regretted. The ! young' meu wf the College k?ow to deport themselves as gentlemen as well as ther know how to garner j knowledge from the rich stores of their Alma Mater. 3Ir. II. L. Elliott, , Jr., was one of the managers and tiid : much to further the success of the \ affair. \ , Although the loss ef some of the I 1 faculty is to be deplored, those who , remain are able t? carry on the College j in its pristine glory. The trustees , have not yet elected' a president, but have designated Prof. Sloan as chair- , man of the Faculty. This is a happy . selection. Prof. Sloan is one of the best, educators in the Union, and one : of the best of men in every sense. He ] has been long regarded as one of the ! | very strongest pillars of the institu- s tion, and his well known disiuclina- j tion to assume the duties of the presi- , ilency. would be strongly pressed for . the place. It may well be said that , his own desire is the strongest im- j pedment in the way of his promotion. , The patrons of the College may be < sure, even if the trustees take their , time in electing a president, that the j management will be in the hands of , :>ne wk? i* esteemed by the facility ^ and students alike, as a capable and conscientous official The trustees f partially completed the organization ( by the re-election of Profs. Patton | s and Joynes, and the selection of Mr. j ( Alfred Dagby, of Va., as adjunct in I' ancient languages and Prof. J. J. Mc-! \ Mahan as adjunct in English. Drs. , Patton und Joynes are too well kuown \ to need introduction here. They are < recognized everywhere as ripe and , erudite scholars.
