?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

Spirits."
J. F. 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.

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.
