Miss Alice Davis has our thanks for the invitation to be present, and will please be assured that oar absence was unavoidable. We regret our inability to attend the Commencement exercises of the Easley High School. Thanks to the faculty of j that flourishing school for an invitation to be present and read an essay for one of the young ladies. Prof. Lake and his school have onr best wishes. We are' grateful to our friend "Trus tee" for his timely words in reply to "Who," and to friend "Live and Let Live" for the following: "To pacify our fellow-sufferer about 'the Abbeville line' and to sustain the Trustee' at the otEer extreme border lino oF our County .- in his opinion',' equity and,circumstances demand that a 'middle man-'rise and mu? tiny.' Notwithstanding" "we can look from our post of duty upon the towering church steeples of the city of Anderson, the Commissioner has not yet been to see us. Knowing that be is a hard worked man, we accepted'the reason . he pub* lished for not visiting all the schools. Nevertheless, we looked- for him, and I dare say hare been: benefited by the looking', we expect'him to come yet, and will be greatly disappointed if we are not benefitted by the coming " ORIGINAL SPEECHES. . ?? \ i We like the idea of .retiring young men-to write and deliver speeches. Ifj "writing makes an exact man," our boys ctnd young men should be required to do more of it. The delivery of a boy's first original speech may be the turning point in bis life?the effort may shake him up, it may arouse some dormant powers with which he is unacquainted. If it does not open to him a new world, or greatly strengthen his ambition, the work will afford a drill exercise that will make him more exact and more natural in his ex pressions. Some teachers require origi? nal speeches at least twice a mouth; others require compositions once a week. Our own opinion is that they can not be required too often. Some one has said that it were well for a student to write something every day. The extensive use of the black-board in recitations nowadays, does away, in a measure, with the demand fur very frequent original productions. Facility of expression and the correct use of words are acquired in ? the constant use of the black-board. CORRECT SPEECH: Young man, yon do not speak correct? ly. Why is it? what is the matter? where lies the difficulty ? You know better. You have studied grammar. You have heard cultivated persons talk. How then is it that yon give yourself up to coarseness, to vulgarisms, to an ugly looseness of speech ? It is nothing but habit. One can become so accustomed to thinking and speaking loosely and in? correctly that it amounts to a habit,- and a very hard one to break, too. My dear young friend, don't put this matter off | as of no importance: learn to think purely, and think well; learn to speak truly, and sneak correctly. One has said that the speech, the manner, the walk are the alphabet by which we spell char acter. Young man, you are making your character?how will it look when one can spell it out distinctly? Let these different letters be clear and dis? tinct and beautiful. We do not know but that Thorean was right when he said; "We are all sculptors and painters, and our material is otrr own flesh, and blood, and bones. Any nobleness begins at once to refine a man's features; any meanness or sensuality, to imbrute them." THE ANDERSON MILITARY SCHOOL. Tc-day, from our window, we can see the Cadets from the. Andersou Military School walking the streets and chatting with all the vivacity of their boyish na? tures. How happy they look I How jolly! How bright ( Commencement exercises are over, and the beautiful flowers, their trophies, have been taken to their rooms and pressed ready to be taken home to mother and sister or hid? den away to be kept as the most precious . treasure of life. But we did not take up oar pen for the purpose of writing to the boys. Though we feel just now like fill? ing this entire column with words of en? couragement and warning to the boys, we desist, leaving the good impressions made by Gen. Capers' speech and the magnetism of his presence unmolested. Onr province is to deal with the pub? lic schools of the County, but may we not be excused for a few words in com? mendation of the Anderson Military School? It seems to us that Anderson is pecu? liarly blessed. Above every thing, every town ought to have a first class male school. This Anderson has. As to the military feature of this school, we know not enough of such things to express an intelligent opinion; but so far as the lit? erary and scientific training of the boys is concerned, we do not hesitate to pro? nounce it second to no preparatory school in the South. The principals are gentle? men of acknowledged ability?the one, a graduate of the old South Carolina College, with many years experience as a teacher,, and the other a graduate of Wofford, with ten years experience in the 3chool-room. As au evidence of the thorough traiuing given to boys here, wo point with no little pride to the record made by the Anderson boys iu competitive examinations for positions at West Point and Annapolis. Students that have gone out from this school to colleges in this State and in others have always stood among the first iu their classes. Anderson is regarded by the wholesale merchants as one of the safest business place;? in upper Carolina; she is noted not only for the financial stand? ing of her merchants, but for their fine business capacity and integrity of char? acter as well. Let it not be forgotten that very many, if not a majority of the professional and business men of Ander eoq received their mental and moral training at this school. Do we appreciate thi.i school as we ought? Do the citizens of Anderson County appreciate it aaithey ought? Is their good;reaspn<for sending a boy away from Anderson .County to be prepared for College or fitted for a business life? Are we not rather bound to support by onr patronage and encouragement a school' o?\such ^ recognized ability ? There ought to be two hundred and fifty students-in this school, and a large num? ber of them ought to be from the County. The free schools and subscription schools scattered all over the County ought to be i feeders for this central school. Many boys, by hard work and economy, could go to this school, and walk home every Friday night, while to go off to Colum? bia, or Greenville, or Spartanburg would perhaps be impossible. Besides, there is no sense in sending a boy off to college to be put in the preparatory department and prepared for the regular college course. Let him be prepared hero at Anderson fof a useful career in life or a successful college course. June 4, 1885. IS FBIDAY AN UNtTIGXY DAYJ . A journal answers this question in the following satisfactory manner: On Friday, August 21, 1492, Christo? pher Columbus sailed on his great voy? age of discovery. On Friday, October 12, 1492, he first discovered land. On Friday, January 4,1493, he'sailed on his return to Spain, which, if he bad not leached in safety, the happy-result would never have been known .which led to the settlement on this vast continent. On Friday, March 15, 1493-, he arrived at Palos in safety. On Friday, November 22, 1493, he arrived at Hispaniola. on his second voyage to America. On Fri? day, June 13,1494, he} though unknown to himself, discovered the contineut of America. On Friday, March 5, 1496, Henry VIII. of England gave to John Cabot his commission, which led to the discovery of North America. This is the first American stato paper in Eng? land. On Friday, September 7, 1585, Melendez founded St. AugustlnSy tbe oldest town in the United States by moie than forty years. On Friday, November 10,1620, the May-flower, with the Pil? grims, made the harbor of Provincetown ; and on the same day they signed that august compact, the forerunner of our present glorious constitution. On Fri? day, December 22, 1620, the Pilgrims made their final landing at Plymouth Rock. On Friday, February 22, 1732, George Washington, the father of Amer? ican freedom, was born. On Friday, June 16, Bunker Hill was seized and for? tified. On Friday, October 7,1777, the surrender of Saratoga was made, which had such power and influence in induc? ing France to declare for oUr cause. On Friday, September 22, 1780, the treason of Arnold was laid bare, which saved us from destruction. On Friday, October 19,1781, the surrender at Yorktown, the crowning glory of tbe American arms, occurred. On Friday, July 7, 1776, the motion in Congress was made by John Adams, seconded by Bichard Henry Lee, that the United States colonies were, and of. right ought to be, free and inde? pendent. Thus, by numerous examples, we see that, however it may be with for? eign nations, Americans need never dread to begin on Friday any undertak? ing, however momentous it may be." Overflowing Money Values. The president of one of the largest and busiest banks in the vicinity of Wall street said one day last week : "Money is simply a glut in the market; the banks are becoming money poor." The speaker was one of the last of the New York bank presidents to cling to tbe cus? tom of paying interest on deposits in banks of discount. He abandoned the custom recently?except in a few special cases?because the present condition of the banking business did not warrant such payments. The same bank presi? dent refused outright, a few days ago, to accept a deposit of $150,000. His bank has more money than it knows what to do with. O. D. Baldwin, president of the Fourth National, said there was about $61,000,000 of cash lying idle in (the banks. He declared that his bank would be glad to loan money on call at 3 per cent, per annum, but there seemed to be no demand for large amounts. Henry Clews remarked, "The want of confi? dence among investors has left tbe banks, the trust companies, and large estates burdened with cash. It would be a good thing for business everywhere if some of this money could be got into active cir? culation." An old established law firm down town holds more than $2,500,000 of trust funds, for which they have thus far been unable to find profitable invest? ment.. Most of the large banks are com? plaining of the steady increase in their cash supply. One Wall street bank which controls a very large estate has its vaults filled with money, which the bank has thus far been unable to place to advantage. Tbe undesirable plentitude of cash is not confined to banks and trust funds. Even the large vaults in the massive sub treasury building are becomiug uncom? fortably crowded. It has recently been found necessary to put timber cross pieces in the compartments of the silver vault to prevent the iron partitions from being broken down by the increasing ac? cumulation of silver coin. Even the central corridor of this vault is being slowly filled with bags of silver dollars, each bag weighing fifty pounds. Fortu? nately, the silver vault rests upon a solid foundation of masonry, concrete and iron, about thirty feet thick. The small? er vault, which contains gold coin and paper money, is also crowded. Most of the compartments are filled, and bundles of gold and silver certificates are stacked up in plain view on shelves running around the vault. Several millions of dollars are disposed of in this way. In one small compartment?not as largo as a two foot cubo?there are packed thirteen bundles of greeubacks of large denominations. Each bundle contains exactly $1,000,000. Bookkeeper Burr consulted bis ledger when asked how much money there was in the sub treasury last week, and replied, "in round numbers, $172,000,000." ? New York Times. Bedclothes of Paper. A paper making firm in New Jersey has for .several weeks been turning out counterpanes and pillow cases of paper. No. 1 matiilla paper is used, two large sheets being held together by a slender twine at intervals of three or four inches; the twine is gummed so as to hold the sheets firmly together where it lies. A hem U placed on the counterpane to keep it from tearing ; the safety edge is com? posed of twine. Ornamental designs are stamped on the outer surfaces of the covers aud pillow-cases, giving them a neat, attractive appearance. When these counterpanes and pillow? cases become wrinkled from use, they can easily be smoothed out with a hot flatiron. The counterpanes can be left on the bed when it is occupied, and in cold weather will be found a warm cov? ering, paper preventing the escape of heat. The new paper bed-clothing is 75 cents per set, and will probably become very popular.?Paper Maker. ? First dude ?"The Smith girls have beautiful figures, have they not?" Sec? ond dude?"Ah yes, bah Jove, about n million between them I think." A ?rafceman's Experience. It was a damp, foggy night in early spring, and I was one of the crew which had in charge a "wild" freight, which we had been most of the night?for it was nearly morning now?iu gettiug au in? significant distance toward our destina? tion. We had been side tracked several times for trains to pass us, the last time for several hours, so that When we got under Way and thought everything was clear for' a good r?fy it Was only about an hour before daylight?the very darkest time in a very dark night, however. I think 1 never saw a blacker, thicker atmosphere than we had that night; even the lanterns could not be seen rnol'e than the length of a half dozen cars. When we got under headway I started to go up to the engine for something, and was gropiug my way over the tops of the cars very cautiously?for it was danger? ous work, on account of the darkness, for even an experienced brakeman, while I was green and awkward?when hap? pening to throw the light of my lantern down between tWo cara, I saW a dark mass of something against the end of one of them. I stopped to look closer, and swinging my lantern between the cars saw it was some poor fellow stealing a ride. He bad his bat pulled down over his face, and, more asleep than awake, was keeping iu an upright position by clinging to the steps Used for gettiug up on the car. The light I bad thrown about him and the noise I had made roused him up.- j When' he saw he had been discovered, he put the best possible face ou the matter and expressed his de? termination to stay on the train Until we reached the1 end of the route. I told him that ho could not do this, and we Soon got into an angry dispute. He then climbed upon the car, and as he did so I moved to the other end. In this posi? tion we continued our war of words, he, meanwhile, standing very close to the end of the car. I soon concluded to leave him and find out of the conductor what should be done. I did not like his impudence and knew that somehow we would have to get him off the train ; but with the indications of brawn and muscle which he possessed, I did not care about getting into close quarters alone on the top of a freight car. As I was about to move away the train gave a lurch as she struck an imperfect rail,'which almost threw me off my feet. At th'o Same time I saw my unwelcome passenger make a wild grasp in the air, as his body swayed backward with the shock through which it had been so hard for me to keep my- position on the car, and as dimly as I could see his face the expression of horror and fright was one of the most painful sights I ever saw then he uttered a wild shriek, and half swinging around on one foot upon which he was tryiug to balance himself, he fell headlong out of sight between the cars. On more piercing wail reached ray ears, and then all was drowned in the roar of the on-speeding train. It was not a manly thing to do, I am aware; but I fainted on top of the car. It must have been about half an hour afterward, for it was by this time day? light, when I came to and began to real? ize what had happened. As soon as possible I got back to the caboose and detailed to the conductor what had oc? curred. By this lime we were ten or twelve miles from the seene of the acci? dent, so he said: "We're running wild, and if we go back and pick up the remains, of that fellow it'll take au hour. The only thing I can see that we can do is to go on to the next station and send for orders." This we did and got permission from headquarters to run back. The train had to back down, of course, and when we came within a couple of miles of the point near which we sup? posed we would find at least a portion of our man, the train slackened its speed and the conductor and myself began to keep a careful watch along the track. Presently from a clump of blackberry bushes, in the corner of a rail fence, some one sang out: "Gents, if you'uu3 cum clean back here fur me, I simply want to say thet I 'predate it. 'Tisn't every road'd do it. 1 ain't no pressin' engagements at the end o' your line; but 1 'preciate your kindness in comin' back fur me, any? how 1" We peered in the direction indicated by the voice. There, upon the top rail of the fence, with one leg thrown over the other, and calmly smoking a short pipe?a picture of impudence?sat the fellow we had expected to gather up in fragments, safe and sound, scarcely a scratch worse off than when I first saw him between the cars. The conductor grasped the situation at once, and our train was soon, again going forward. His feelings were so outraged to think the man hadn't been killed? had n't even been hurt?that he did noth? ing but heap abuse upon me until we got our train in; and I believe be considered me as great a criminal because the acci? dent did not prove fatal to the fellow as though he had been killed and I was the direct cause of it. It seemed to me that I was an entirely innocent participant in the incident; but every one appeared to think that by all laws of nature the man ought to have been killed, and that I, somehow, was the cause of the thing missing fire, and was not to be trusted in consequence. So a-few days later I got- my discharge. ?Detroit Free Press. Orchards and Their Care. The season of the year is approaching when fruit trees of every kind should have some attention. It is taken for granted that those who wish to be instruct? ed have taken the suggestions offered in these remarks. If not, then they are not intended for you. All of the new growth on the frees should be rubbed off | noWj and all through the growing sea? son, except such as may be desired to re? main for branches. It should be the rule not to let a single bud grow out that will not be profitable to the tree. Here is one of the great secrets in successful fruit growing. The ordinary orchard is allowed to exhaust itself in putting out and growing superfluous branches, water shoots and sprouts that are cut away after they have abstracted from the tree a large number of pounds of substance, which would have been such uuto the tree, bad the growth been removed when it first started. It is easily done. The farmer's wife or daughters will fiud it an inviting exercise, besides the intellectual entertainment the many growth will afford by suggesting thoughts sublime, and good to the mind. If the trees are too full of fruit, remove the smaller and effected ones as soon as you can decide upon their growth. If you have a less number you will more than regain the loss of number in pounds and quality of the fruit. Do not allow young trees to over hour. Remove all the fruit down to just what the limbs can hold without bending. It is a great question, yet not fully settled by fruit growers, whether a tree ought to bear more fruit than it can hold up without springing the branches but slightly. In young trees it is best to remove the smaller fruit and leave only such quantity as will not burden tho true; and it may be added thai the large trees will live longer and bear more fruit, year after year, if not permitted to be? come over-ladened with its fruit. A fruit tree will live and be profitable lon? ger than a man, if taken care of. There is a peach tree on the South side of Tryon Mountain, in Polk County, N. C, in the "Thermal Belt," that has been known to bear for sixty years, excei t two, and it will have a profitable crop this year again. The thing that success? ful farmers and fruit growers must be? come impressed with is care. Next to religion is care. In fact it is more than likely that, to become a thorough disciple to care, will lead one very near, if not quite into the perfect path of daily life. Let care for your fruit trees, care for your crops, care for your stock, care for your family, care for yourself, (which is only another wrrd for "watch,") be up? permost in your minds, and every one will lcam the ways of Nature. Produce more and better for the labor, and extri? cate yourselves from the conlmon sentence pronounced against the husbandman on account of ighorauce a way back yonder in the first garden?"in the sweat of thy face shall thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground." Making Their Own Dresses. A curious feature of tbe home dress? making furor that has seized upon so many ladies this Spring is the introduc? tion of what arc termed figure-forms. Ladies who never thought of sUcb a thing before are making a large part of their Summer outfits themselves, and even young ladies in society, though they dare not trust themselves to get up their finest things, are trying.their hands, With what assistance they ca? get, at making their own tennis suits and knockabout dresses for the mountains and seashore. These figure-forms are made of papier mache and can easily be adjusted to any height. Tbey also come in so many varieties and si?es that with very little change and alteration they dan be made complete/etc rimile* of the flgtlrea of the ladles vVhd use tnem, with every propor? tion of bust, arms, neck and waist exact, With one of these a lady has compara? tively little difficulty in fitting herself. With completed parts of ? costume draped oh tbe lay figure she contrasts and studies the effect, as well as exam? ines the fit, and is thus enabled to tell satisfactorily in advance how everything will look. Going a step further some ladies have heads on their figure forms, on which tbey place and fit hats and bonnets, and are in this way enabled to study out and anticipate every detail of their appearance. This plan of having models has been found so convenient that a number of fashionable und wealthy ladies who have agteat many dresses made and who are anxious to avoid the fatigue and annoy? ance of so many fittings have themselves carefully reproduced in papier niackc, so that when they come to see about a suit they stretch themselves back at ease in a cushioned dh?ir and wait while the dress? maker tells her assistant to "bring down Miss Smith" or "get Mrs. Brown out of the closet," as the case may be. The dresses are then fitted on the lay figure.? Philadelphia Times. Not a Book Ageut. There is a General of local fame who went through a very unhappy quarter of an hour a week or so ago. He has just returned from the East. There he made the acquaintance of a yollng gentleman who is engaged to be married to a very charming Oakland girl. The truth, that always is the accessory of separation of lovers, burned in the youog man's breast, aud he took>the opportunity, when the General was leaving, to load him down with messages of love and a book for his fiancee. The gallant warrior undertook the commission with all willingness, and when he had rested from his trip he started off one Sunday morning for Oak? land with the book under his arm. He' sought out tbe address given him, for the young girl was a stranger to him, aDd as he approached he saw a lady seated on the steps of an Oakland villa. He opened the gate aud walked in with an imposing martial air. The lady eyed him with an unfavorable look. "You are Mrs. Jenkinson ??*' "I am." "I have here a book-" "I don't want any books." "Is there a Miss Jeukinsou?" "There is." "Is she at home V "Yes." "I have here a book-" "Miss Jenkinson doesn't want any books." "Hang it all, madam ! I'm not a book agent. Your daughter's sweetheart in New York asked me to deliver this book to her with his love. I don't care a darn whether she wants it or not. Here it is. Good-day, madam."?San Francisco Chronicle. Washing Without Rubbing. A lady in New Jersey writes: "Your column devoted to 'The Household' has interested mo greatly and I enclose to you directions for washing, which save all rubbing. These directions were orig? inally sent me from Germany, and have proved a boon to rich aud poor alike, wherever recommended. Iuto a large boiler full of boiling water shave a pound and one-half of good brown soap (or its equivalent of soft-soap will do) and pour half a tea cup of kerosene oil. Soak the clothes over night, next morn? ing put them into boiler and boil exactly twenty minutes, stirring frequently. Take out, drop into tub of clean, hot water and wring into second tub, and again iuto third. Starch and blue. If soda or any washing fluid is added, the whole process will prove uusuccessful. I hope that many will try this simple plan of washing. Those who do will find 'Monday' divested of its horrors as wash? ing day. The clothes must be wrung through the three waters, and the direc? tions closely followed to insure perfect success. There are several kinds of wash-boilers sold that are made upon this principle. The boiling takes the place of rubbing. But it will be hard to convince house? keepers that rubbing can be oinittted. A Georgia Boy's Bride. One of our neighbor boys brought home a wife very unexpectedly and under great difficulties. For some time past the little town of Allendale, S. O, has had some attractions for the young gen? tleman in question. The youug lady he wooed and won, but the irate father would not yield the point. So it become neces? sary to resort to strategy. It was planned that they would take a ride aud have a secret marriage, but to do that the con? sent of the clergy was necessary. Three of the reverend gentlemen were applied to aud all refused. By this time the irate father felt suspicious and placed his daughter in a room adjoining his own, with no means of escape, save through bis own room, as he thought. It was then night, and all retired. But love, not wishing to bi- thus outdone, began planning an escape. She knew the train fur Augusta would be along at 2 o'clock. Upon examination she found means of escape through the floor and crawled undei her father's room to the front gate, it being the only way to get out. She nvide lor tho depot and was just in time to meet the trail for Augusta, whither they repaired, and procuring the nccessay documents sought and obtained the aid of more accommodating clergy and were married in clue (miu. ?

Sept 27, 1883 11 AYER'S Hair Vigor restores, with tho gloss and freshness of youth, faded or gray hair to a natural^ rich brown color, or deep black, as may be desired; By its uso light or red luiir ihaybo darkened, thin hair thickened, and baldness often, though1 not always, cured. It checks falling of tho hair, and stimu? lates a weak and sickly growth to vigor. It prevents' And cures scurf and dandruff,' and Iioals nearly every disease peculiar to tho scalp. As a Ladles* Hair Dressing, tho Vigor is unequalled; it contains neither oil nor dyo, renders the hair soft, glossy, and B?ken in appearance,and imparts a delicate, agrcoable, and lasting perfume; Mr. C. P. BniCHER writes from Kirby, 0.. July 3, 1882 : "Last fall my hair commenced falling out, and In a short timo I becaino nonrly- bald. I used part of a bottle Of Aver's Hair Vioor, which stopped tho fall? ing of the hair, and started a new growth. I havo now a full head of hair growing vigor? ously, and am convinced that bnt for tho use of your preparation I should have been entirely bald." ..J.W.Bowen, proprietor of the Mc Arthur (Ohio) Enquirer, aays:" Ater's Hair Vigor is a most excellent preparation for the hair. I speak of it from my own experience; uso promotes tho growth of new hair; and makes it glossy and soft. The Vigor is also a sure euro for dandruff. Not within my knowledge has tho preparation ever failed to give entire satisfaction." Mr. Angus Fairdairn, leader of tho celebrated " Fairbairn Family "? of Scottish Vocalists, writes from Boston, Mass., Feb. C, 1880: "Ever since my hair began to give sil? very evidence of the chango which lleeting timo procuroth, I have used Ayer's Hair| Vioor, and so have been able to maintain an appearance of youthfulness,?a matter of considerable consequence to roinlstors, ora? tors, actors, and In fact every one who lives in tho eyes of the public." . Mrs. 0. A. Prescott, writing from 18 Elm St., Charlestoten, Mass., April 14, 1882, says: " Two years ago about two-thirds of my hair tame off. It thinned very rapidly, and I was fast growing bald. Oil using Ayer's Hair Vigor the falling stopped aud a new growth commenced, aiid In about a month my head was completely covored with short hair. It lias continued to grow, and is now as good as bofore It fell. I regularly used but one bottle of tho Vigor, bat now uso it occasionally aa a dressing." "Wo have hundreds of similar testimonials to the officacy of Ayer's Hair Vigor. It needs bnt a trial to convinco the most skepti? cal of its value. prepared by Dr. J. C. Ayer & Co., Lowell, Mass.
