Bonham ?The Plume Drin, &c. The First Annual Commencement Ex? ercises of the Anderson Military School camo off on "Wednesday evening, Thurs? day and Thursday evening.of last week. The [exercises were held in tho spacious chapel of the School building. On "WEDNESDAY EVENING, by 8 o'clock, the chapel was well filled with a very intelligent audience, repre? senting the wealth, fashion, beauty and grace of Anderson and vicinity, and pre? senting a most brilliant seene. The ros? trum was tastefully decorated with flow? ers and evergreens, and upon the rear wall hong some beautiful pictures. ? After a spirited piece of music by the Young America Cornet Band, the exer? cises of the evening were opened with a - fervent prayer by Rev. Wm. Henry Strickland of Tennessee. Prof. Ligon then introduced Cadet Ralph W. Brown, who delivered an original speech on "America, Her Progress and Destiny." This speech was a very clever production, and reflected much credit upon the young gentleman. The next on the programme was the debate on the query, "Have Men of Thought been of more Service to the World than Men of Action?" The af? firmative side was represented by Cadets H. Webb, J. R. Stevenson and R. M. Ba? ker, and the negative by Cadets W. F. Maddox, A. J. Geer and E. F. Cochran. These young gentlemen sustained their respective sides of tiie question in a very creditable manner, advancing strong and forcible arguments, which showed that ; they bad carefully studied the question. Each debater was loudly applauded, and each the recipient of fragrant flowers. Prof. Ligon announced that as there were no judges of the debate, the audl " ence could decide the question for them? selves, t An invitation was extended to all present to attend the exercises on the following morning at 11 o'clock. At the appointed hour THURSDAY MORNING the chapel was filled with an appreciative audience to witness the exercises of the day.: Seated upon the stage were the ca? dets, several patrons of the School and the Young America Cornet Band. The exercises were opened with music by the Band, after which Rev. J. W. Walling led . in prayer. Prof. Ligon stated that the exercises of tho day would consist of declamations by the cadets; that the Faculty had offered two medals as the first and second prizes for oratory, and that, three gentlemen had been selected from' the audience as a committee to de? cide who would be entitled to the medals, The following young gentlemen then de? livered extract speeches upon the subjects named: J. F. Evans?"Lalayette and Napo? leon." B. S. MoCttlly?"An Indian's Speech G. A. Miller?"An appeal in Behalf of American Liberty." Percy Sharpe? "A Midnight, Murder." B. M. Clarke?"The South."

DuPre?Valedictory. The declamations were all well ren dered, some of the speakers evincing de? cided talent for oratory. They were greeted with much applause, and each one received floral tributes. Between every four or five speeches the Young America Cornet Ba.d rendered some of its excellent music It was then announced that the medals for oratory wonld be delivered that even? ing immediately after Capt. Bonbam's ! oration. THURSDAY AFTERNOOrf at 6 o'clock the sidewalks, windows and piazzas on. the West side of the Court House Square were crowded with specta? tors to witness the Dress Parade and Plume Drill of the cadets. Capt. M. L. Bonham, of Abbeville, Col. John E. Al? len, of this city, and Sergt. John A. Tow ers, of the TT. S. Military Academy, acted as judges of the drill. The cadets were commanded by Capt. E. F Cochran Their soldierly appearance, and the man? ner in which they executed the various commands, elicited general commenda? tion. The drill lasted for an hour or more, during which time the ranks were gradually decreased until the contest nar rowed to between Cadets Edwin Murphy, J.F. DuPre and R. S. McCully. These three vied with each other for a short time. The Company was then re-formed, and Capt Bonham, in a few appropriate remarks, awarded the Plume to Cadet DuPre, who, it will be remembered, was the successful competitor in the two for? mer Plume Drills of the Company. At an early hour THURSDAY EVENING the spacious chapel was crowded to its utmost capacity by an appreciative audi ence to witness the conclusion of the Commencement Exercises. The Band rendered one of its best selections, which was followed by an eloquent prayer by Rev. J. S. Murray. Prof. Ligon then in? troduced Capt M. L. Bonham, of Abbe? ville, 8. C, who was the orator for the oc? casion. Capt. Bonham said he desired to speak of some of the attributes for success in life. God, in His wrath and indignation, drove man from the Garden of Eden, and pronounced that terrible sentence, "By the sweat of thy brow thou shalt labor." During all the past ages down to the pres? ent time, man bad carried out this sen? tence, and it would be so to the end of time. There is nothing more true than the old maxim, "There is no excellence without labor." No great work of the world has been accomplished without labor. He referred to what had been achieved by Alexander the Great, Peter the Great, and others equally noted. What they accomplished was by labor. Literary history, also, is full of examples of the fruits of labor. Shakespeare and others have left for us works that testify to their industry. Every author of any note bad labored for years for what he bad achieved. Labor alone, however, would not win success. It was necessary to have a fixed aim in life?an aim to be a beacon light to guide yon through life. In urging a fixed aim for an object to be sought after, the speaker said he was not advocating the one-idea theory. He did not like to Bee men of one idea. There were other qualifications necessary for success in this life. Honor, -virtue and integrity are the foundations of success. He urged the importance of youths hav? ing these principles thoroughly imbed? ded in their hearts. Courage and deter? mination were also essential for success. It required courage to achieve everything undertaken in this life; it required cou? rage to swim the tide of adversity as well as of prosperity. Self-reliance and inde? pendence were also necessary. A little "cheek" or "brass," too, was proper and important at times. Perseverance and patience should not be despised. They are very important. He urged the cadets to persevere in striving after a desired object. While persevering, it was neces? sary to have sufficient patience to wait until the object was attained. Good man? ners are equally as essential. Not that kind that belongs to those who do a kind act for public applause, but that which comes from a true heart. Good address is also important. First impressions are sometimes lasting. It is the duty of every one to pay proper regard to dress. Ambition is also necessary for success in life. Not ambition for avarice, greed fcr office, and the like, but high and lauda? ble ambition. The man that says he has no ambition, has not the good of his country at heart. Our government rests upon the shoulders of individuals, and we all owe certain duties to our country. Unfortunately, ambition sometimes led men away from the high purposes they started out with. We should guard our? selves in this, and improve every advan? tage. The speaker said he did not think it incumbent in him to talk to the cadets about their religious training, but urged the importance of serving God in every act of life. In giving the above brief synopsis of Capt Bonham's oratio?, we have fallen short of presenting even its essence. He held the audience spell-bound for about forty minutes. We have never listened to a more appropriate address on any oc? casion. It was addressed mainly to the students, upon whom it made a profound impression- It was plain, practical, log? ical and replete with wholesome advice. Capt. Bonham is a young man of pleasing address, superior intellectual attainments and a fine orator. At the conclusion of Capt. Bonham's address, it was announced that the com? mittee had awarded the first meda' for oratory to Cadet Alexis C. Ford, and the second to Cadet Robert E. Ligon. These two young gentlemen were called up, and Capt. Bonh-m, in a few appropriate remarks, presented the mednls to them. Prof. Ligon then returned the thanks of the Faculty to the Young' America Cornet Band for the excellent music fur? nished throughout the occasion, to the audience for their presence and the inter? est manifested in the exercises, and the good order maintained. Thus ended the Commencement of 1884. The School has closed a very successful session, having had one hundred and forty-five students in attendance. The next session will begin about the 1st of September, when it is expected the num? ber of pupils will exceed the number in attendance during the past session. Profs. Ligon and Reed are determined to make the School the equal of any in the South. We see no reason why they shonld not, for they are thoroughly competent and fitted for their profession; they have commodious buildings, which are well supplied with all the necessary appli? ances, &c, for the modern school room, and, besides, Anderson is a healthy loca? tion, and has many superior advantages over other towns and cities. Parents con? templating sending their boys away from home to school could not do better than to place them in the Anderson Military School. A Correction. While we were absent from the office one morning about three weeks ago, a gentloman brought in several fine cotton stalks. One of the compositors received them, and asked the gentleman for his name. The compositor understood him to say W. A. McFall, and so wrote it down. When we came in, the cotton stalks and name were handed to us, and we mentioned it in the local columns. Mr. W. A. McFall says he was not the man, that he never sent the cotton stalks hero, and requests us to make the correc? tion. We cannot account for the mistake other than that the compositor misunder? stood the gentleman and got the wrong name. Mr. McFall, however, is one of the most progressive farmers in Ander? son County, and [generally has as fine cotton, grain, &c, as any man, but he never tells the newspaper men about it. Heavy Bains. Since Saturday afternoon the rains through this section of country have been frequent and heavy. On Tuesday there was a very heavy rainfall through the day, the clouds coming from the East and Southeast. The water courses are higher than they have been for many years. We fear much damage has been done to the wheat and oat crops, which were cut but left in the fields, and to the bottom land corn, as all the bottomlands are covered with water. We learn that | the railroad bridge over Broadaway Creek is much damaged, the foundation of one of the benches being undermined and the track sunk, and that below some hundred yards of the track is washed away. The down trains, however, with the delegates to the State Convention was on time on Wednesday and with the as? sistance of trains from below, meeting it at the breaks, expected to take passen? gers through to Columbia. An Important Matter. Our office was honored lastJFriday with a call from Mr. E. L. Roche, Agent of the Department of Agriculture, who was in the city in the interest of the display to be made by this State at the New Orleans Exposition. It is the desire of the De? partment that es.ch County in the State make a display of specimens of its wood, minerals, grains, fruits, &c. Leading gentlemen in each township of this Coun? ty will be appointed by the Department to take charge of the matter, and as soon as this is done it is proposed that they shall hold a conference in the city at an early day, when Mr. Roche will meet with them and explain the details. Nearly every County in the State is taking active steps to be represented at this great exhi? bition, and Anderson County?the banner County of the State?cannot afford to not have a display of her resources. We can make a very creditable display, and it will be a valuable advertisement for our County. Let us all take an interest in this matter, and get up a display that will not be equalled by any County in the State. Persons having specimens of sea- | soned timber, fine samples of grain, or excellent varieties of fruit, can do much towards gettiug up exhibits by sending them to the Department at Columbia. The fruits will be preserved and the tim? ber put in proper condition for display at tho expense of the Department. As soon as active steps are taken by the gentlemen to be appointed by the Department we shall have more \x> say on this subject, when we hope to be able to present the details in a more extended manner.

If you cannot speak well of your neigh? bors, do not speak of them at all. A cross neighbor may be made kind by kind treatment. The true way to be happy is to make others happy. Rev. Charles Manly, of Greenville, will preach in the Baptist Church next Sun? day morning and evening.

The dwelling house of Mr. M.G. Smith, a former resident of this County, but now residing at Donaldsuille, was struck by lightning last Saturday, damaging his house and furniture considerably. His family escaped injury. Attention is directed to the change in the advertisement of Messrs. McCully, Cathcart & Co. They are agents for the Daniel Pratt Gin, Feeder and Condenser. Persons contemplating buying a gin this season should consult them.

Another Rescue from Death.?In 1881 while sewing on a machine, my wife was taken with a severe pain in her side, which was soon followed by hemorrhages from her lungs, severe cough, fever, and she could neither eat or sleep, and in a few weeks she was reduced to a living skeleton. Her stomach refused to retain any food, and the physician thought one of her lungs was entirely gone. At a final consultation of two physicians her case was pronounced hopeless. I tried Brewer's Lung Restorer by advice of one of the physicians, and she began to improve after the third dose. She continued the medicine, and is now in ex? cellent health, and is better than she has been in several years. I believe Brewer's Lung Restorer saved her lifo. Benj. F. Herndon, 37 Yatesville, Ga.
