An Industrial Sketch of Fairfield.
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.

THE UNIVERSITY J.
A Review of the Kventx of rho Commencej?ent
Week.
[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

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 :

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

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. Mr. McMahau, ,
being from FairlieUl. couldn't Help |
being a line fellow if lie tried. He j .
has impressed himself in all by his i ]
?trong intellect, Jhis zeal for know- it
ledge and his admirable work in the I t
classroom as tutor and assistant. He 11
now goes a stej) higher. ! s
The trustees liave shown generally a t
conservative spirit, that speaks well j (
for the future of the College. If it is j}
-uttered to continue its work without j (
molestation, and receives the support! .
it deserves from the people of the state \ j
it will soon overcome all the embar- j (
rassments into which it has been
placed br extraneous circumstances.
Internally it has always bccji a success,
is the character and success of its
rouii? Alumni amply testify. {

rode through this magnificent country
nith its bright cheerful home?. with
iu vast bodies of timber still spared
by the axe and the large field* of
luxuriant cottou and waving corn,
I knew then how it was that Ilidneway
was at that moment erecting new
bouses and her people filled with hope
for the future. As I passed these

the cotton has improved incredibly j
during the past few weeks.
We have had a recent visit from our
esteemed friend l)r. 11. W. Owens.'
To use his expre?ion. Fairfield looks
like starvation. In Barnwell they have i
perfect stands of eft'ton which have , )
been well worked, and is laden wiih! 1
squares. Our small, backward crops '
must have presented a vivid and pain- r
ful contrast to the Doctor's eye. ~
Though pleasantly situated, blest fe
with kind, thoughtful, generous neighbors,
with energy, prospect of success b
in his new sphere, tiie Doctor declares
that he thinks constantly, regretfully
and affectionately of old J-'airlicld. ami :
his chief solace i= the weekly reception . r
