Our report of Commencement exer
cises closed in the last issue with Prof.
Haltiwanger's Alumni Address Tues
day morning, the 25th. That evening
the members of the Junior Class (the
rising Seniors) entertained the large
audience with original speeches. Had
not the audience been previously notified
that the speakers were Juniors, they
should most assuredly have been mista
ken for Seniors, and very worthy Sen
iors too, so scholarly were their ad
dresses and so gracefully were they de
livered. The class seems to be well
matched, in this department at least;
their addresses were of a uniformly high
character, both in thought and style,
and were it desirable it would be impos
sible to make any distinctions.

Benediction, by President.
Wedresday morning Rev. H. W.
Kuhns delivered the address before the
Excelsior and Phrenakosmian Literary
Societies, his subject being "The Path
way to Usefulness." He said that suc
cess' is the almost universal desire of
man; but there are various opinions as
to what constitutes success. Many think
it is the possession of riches or of power,
or places of honor. True success.is to
possess that influence which enables
one to do good. That this is not ac
quired by one effort, however gigantic,
but by repeated and constant efforts.
The reason of many failures is that men
often tire and despair too soon. The
kind of success that springs up in a
night like Jonah's gourd will wither
and fade in the morning. The willows
grows up rapidly, and is .frail; the oak
slowly, and is strong. Too many at
tempt to become leaders amnong men.
In the present enlightened condition of
the masses few can be leaders: there is
little need for them.
The way to be useful is to be respect
ed, and the way to be respected is to
maintain a good character. "Let no
man despise you." This depends upon
yourselves; no man can despise you so
long as you are not despicable-a good
character commands universal respect.
Wednesday at 8 P. M., the contest in
oratory came off; the contest was
among members of different classes,
but of the same class in elocution. The
speeches were all driginal. The first
speaker was E. H. Aull, cf Ninety-Six;
Subject, "Knowledge is Power." The
matter of this speech was excellent, and
the delivery was so good that when he
closed it seemed certain that he would
get the medal. But when Mr. Berley,
of Newberry, got through speaking of
"The Instability of Earthly Things,"
the scales were about equally balanced.
Then followed M. 0. J. Kreps, of Gran
itevle, on "Genius ;" I. P. Hawkins,
on "Ei-inestness the Soul of Eloquence,"
and Jri. R. Leavell, Jr., with a stir
ring spejch on "America." The conm
mittee of Judges, consisting of Dr.
W. Sa Bowman, Rev. J. F. Probst,
Rev. E. T. Horne, Rev. J. A. Sligh
and W. J. Assman, Esq., then re
tired, and after a few minutes return
ed. Dr. Bowman announced that, Mr.
J. E. Berley had been awarded the
medal After a few appropriate compli
mentary remarks he bestowed the medal
upon the fortunate candidate, and the
rounds of cheers that wvent up from the
audience showed that it bad come to
the same decision as the committee of'
judges.
Thursday, the 27th, was
COMMENCEMENT DAY.
After prayer by Rev. Luther Broadus,
Irvin P. Hawkins, of Newberry, deliv
ered the Latin Salutatory in an easy,
deliberate style. W. E. Lake followed,
his subject, "Heroism of Every-day
Life." He was'-succeeded by J. Q.
Wertz, of Orangeburg, on "The Rulers
of the Age; its thinking, working
minds." They both did well.
-At this stage of the- proceedings Rey,
S. . Wingard rose and announced that
he had been deputed by the Alumni to
present a gold medal to the member of
the Graduating Class who stood highest
Sin Logic and Metaphysics. The medal
was then presented to J. B. -oks .Wing-.
Maj. Jas. M. Baxter then, in a neat
and short speech, presented on behalf
the Faculty a gold medal to P. H. E.
Dtrrick, of the Freshman Class, for the
higst.standing in Mathematics. The
medais in the shape of a right-angled
triangt, and represents the problem in
Euclid knw as the pons asinorm.
The neit medal was presented through
Rev. E. T,Hornle, to J. Brooks Wing
ard, of the Senior Class, for the best es
say on "Oli4'er Cromwell." . Mr. Wing
ard, therefo'e, besides taking the first
honor 8f hi class, took also two gold
medals.

C. W. Moore, of Adger College, Wal
balla, J. B. O'Neall Holloway. of St.
Mathews Academy, Orangeburg, and
Rev. L. E. Busby, Salem, Va. He then
read out the names of those who had
passed the examinations and were pre
pared to rise with their clasqes at the
beginning of the next session. Several
aid not pass. The Faculty consider it
their duty to the students themselves, to
their parents and to the interests and
bigh standard of the College not to ad
nit students to higher classes unless
they aie prepared to go forward.
Those who will enter the Senior Class
next session are E. P. Aull, J. E. Ber
ley, J. F. Hobbs, S. 0. Kaminer and C.
W. Welch, and a number one class it C'
will be: of this their original speeches
at this Commencement give abundant
assurance. The following young gen
lemen will be Juniors: E. H. Aull, A.

e 2nd session, and were somewhat
backward in their studies. They
were not prepared to enter the Fresh

nd were granted till the opening of the c
next session to prepare, and would then
ao doubt get In. Joseph West, having
been sick for several weeks,'was. not C
able to appear at the examinations

ev. 11. W. Kuhns announced to the
audience that at a meeting of the Board
Af Trustees that morning, Rev. Prof. G.
W. Holland had been elected President
Df the College. This ann uncement
was received with rounds of applause
rom the audience, who thus testified
their hearty concurrence in the seuti- t
ments of- the Trustees and their wvarm
admiration for the newly elected Presi
ent. There was no desire to go be
ind the returns. -President Holland is '
just the right man in the right place, is ~
the unanimous yerit of this communi- ~
ty and of all the friends and patrons of ~
the College.
The President, before introducing the ~
V'aledictorian, said that the patrons and I
rriends of the College hadl reason to be '
gratified at the large attendance and ~
the great interest taken in the Corn
iencement Exercises. He hoped that
he success of this one would be the
prelude to many that should follow.
Ee stated that the Commencement Ball
>f Thursday evening W4s not a part of
the Comnedment-had nothing to
ay against the ball nLor against thosie
aking part in it; only wanted toset the ~
College right, as some had made the
mistake of.supposing that the ball was1
a part and parcel of the Coz6mencement
proceedings. In speaking of the stu
ents, he said their conduct during the
ollegiate -year had been above re-1
proach.
The Valedictory Oration was deliv
ared by J. Brooks Wingard. He had
been taking inedals so prorniscuonsly ~
that the audience expected something
good; but his address went even beyond
expectation. It was splendid. We
bave heai many valedictories, but
never one equal to this. There was a
purity of style, an elegance of taste and
learness and strength of thought run
ning through it that marked its author
as,far above ordinary. We predict-that
the world will hear from this young
man before many years roll round. We
wish him and all his classmates abun
dant success in whatever calling they
may engage in, and the other students
a happy vacation.
THE ALUMNI ASSOCIATION

the summer at such times and places as

2nd. That the Faculty be requested 1
to make the necessary arrangements 1
for these meetings.]
It was also
Resolved, That a medal of the value
of Ten Dollars be offered to that mom
ber of the Senior Class of 1879 who shall
attain the highest proficiency in Logic
and Metaphysics.
Prof. J. B. O'Neall Holloway was
elected to deliver the Alumni Oration
at the Commencement of 1879, with
Rev. L. E. Busby as alternate.
OUR BANp.-We take pleasure in
complimenting the Newberry Band on
the marked improvement in their mu
sic. The erratic composition of former
organiations precluded anything like
success-so frequently did they change
membership that proficiency was an
impossibility and caused universal re
gret to the community. We are glad
that this is not the character of the pres
ent company, t'he material of which it
s made up is of first rate stuff, have
muic,. irsol and they have the

Win. Reeder in favor of it; thougl
t was not the anxious seat that brougl
o many unconverted persons into ti
hurch, but the anxious Church-a d
ire to increase the- membership.
Rev. L. Broadub Qpposed its evil
ut in fayor of some means by whi<
iersons anxious about their souls cs
uarifest it, so that they can receive a
istance.
Rev. G. H. Carter agreed 'with pr

Rev. T. G. Herbert said it was ot
bused, but ought riot to be abolishe<
nabled the Past4rs to know who wel
aterested; it is too much the habit
ut tlis rpatter of' to "protracted mnee

The next query, "What Good H
Jnion Meetings Accomplished?" w
pened by James Packer, who said tb
bey impart sympathy, encouragemei
nd zeal by association, and often revi'
ukewarm churches.
J. R. Leavell spoke of some of its ri
ults. This section has sent out or
issionary, who reports eighty-seve
onversions in one year, has educati
n excellent young man for the mini
ry, has done much in checking interi
mance, has established lady isicS
ocieties at all the churches.
Rev. L. Broadus thought sufficie1
rood accomplished to warrant them
~eeiig up tbe meetings. Their gre~
st benefit was to churches that cou:
ot have regular preaching. Cal
hould be taken to.select proper queri
or discussion, and not to waste time

J. W. Scott said they did much go<
n stimulating the churches and in e:
bing the members to meet togeth

y J. W. Scott. He said the chur<
nust have money or it will go dowm
f one be excused from paying all ha
he same right. He believed in suir
im or turning him out if he couild pl
Lnd wouldn't.
James Packer thought a promise 1
vards the preacher's salary was both
iebt of honor and a debt for value, al
f a man can pay and won't sue him.
R. Y. Leavell didn't think it right
ue him-Bible doesn't encourage hi
ation among the brethren..
Dr. Jas. McIntosh said. it is eve
nember's duty to support the pastc

ie him, if he still refuses, oust him.
E. P. Chalmers agreed with M.
Lacker in thinking such a one ought

hinking he had no religion.
A. P. Davis concurred with R.
[Leavel.
Rev. Herbert thought the diical

ness and indisposition as from a lack

In his remarks he mentioned the fact
that the Baptist Church here since its
)D organization twenty-six years ago. has
never failed to pay its Pastor every dol
lar.
In the afternoon James Packer made
er a short address on "The Duty of the
e Church in Reference to the Vice of
c- Gambling." Rev. Carter and R. Y.
' Leavellspoke of "The Duty of the Chris
th tian World Toward the Jews." "What
es is the Duty oT Christians in Political
re Elections?" elicited several responses.
es J. F. Spearman said that Christians
of should ex6rcise their right to vote, and
ie should vote-not "early and often"
1g but for the best man there is a proba
)- bility of electing. In this way they aid
th in securing good government. Should
m ally themselves with the best political
' party. John A. Chapman took the
'- ground that a Christian cannot ally him
's self with any political party. The
I Church has become. so corrupt becaiuse
- it has gone to the world. Doubted
- whether a Christian should vote at a
political election. Revs. Carter and
- Broadus said it was impossible to stand
- aloof from p0itics; Christians should
use their influence and their votes to
get good men-not necessarily religious
- men-but men of good moral character
r into office.
r, Rev. Broadus spoke on Temperance,
3 and argued that a Christian's only safe
3s ground, in view of his own liability to
- fall, and in view of his possible influ
ence on others, was-total abstipence from
1Y ardent spirits as a beverage.

ExpERIENcE OF A YouNo Woxi.-A
country girl, young, pretty and happy, her
step was elastic and the roses of health
blootaed upon her cheek. One April morn
she was overtaken by a "spring shower,"
and caught a cold.
"It was her "particular time," and suppres
sion was the result. At the next "period"
nature refused to act. She became sallow,.
swollen and suffered intensely with pain in
the back and "lower stomach," palpitations,
difficufty of breathing, indigestion and head
ache. Doctors failed to palliate her distressed
condition, and she longed for death as the
only hope for relief. At the instance of a
friend, who herself experienced its benefits,
she was induced to try Dr. J. Bradfield's Fe
male Regulator. One bottle cured her. She
was again the happy girl shl was.that April
morning before the showet The Female
Regulator is prepared by- Dr J. Bradfield,
Atlanta, Ga., at $1.50 per. lottle and. kept by
all respectable drug men throughout the
land.
A MOST EXCELLNT REMEDY..
ATLANTA, GA., March 12, 1870.
I have examined tbe recipe of Bradfield's
Female Regulator, and from my knowledge
of its ingredients, believe it a most excellent
medicine, and well suited to that class of
diseases designated. I have no hesitation in
advising its use, and confidently receommend
it to the public. JOEL BRANHAM, M. D.
