J. G. CLINKSCALES, EDITOK. We bust thc Mountain Creek School picnic waa n success. Mies Alice Davis has our thanks for thc invitation to be present, and will please be assured thnt our absence was unavoidable. We regret our inability to attend thc Commencement exercises of the Kasley High School. Thunks to the faculty of that flourishing behool for an invitation to bc present and read an essay for ono of thc young ladies. Prof, Lake and his school have our bebt wishes. Wc nrc grateful to our friend "Trus tee" for his timely words in reply to "Who," and to friend "Live und Let Live" fer tire following: "To pacify our fellow-sufferer about 'tho Abbeville lino' and to sustain thc 'Trustee' at thc other ostreme border line of our County in hus opinion, equity und circumstances deina nd that a middle mun 'rise and mu tiny.' Notwithstanding we can look from our post of duty upon thc towering church steeples of thc city of Anderson, tho Commissioner has not yet been to sec us. Knowing that be is n hurd worked man, we accepted tho reason he pub lished fur not visiting all the schools. Nevertheless, we looked for him, and I duro say have beeu benefitted by tho looking ; wo expect him to como yet, nnd will bo greatly disappointed if wo are not benefitted hy tho coming." ORIGINAL SPEECHES. Wc liku tho idea of requiring young men to write und deliver speeches. If "writing tnnkes an exact man," our boys and young men should bo required to do more of it. Tho delivery of n boy's first origin.il speech may ho the turning point in his life-the effort may shake bim up, il may arouse some dormant powers with which he is unacquainted. if it docs not open to him a new world, or greatly strengthen his ambition, tho work will afford a drill exercise that will make him moro exact and moro nulurul in bis ex* pressions, Sumo teachers require origi nal speeches ul least twice a month ; others require compositions once a week. Our own opinion is thnt they cnn not bo required too often. Some one lins said thnt it were wei! for a Httident to write something every day. Tho extensivo U80 of tho black-board in recitations nowadays, does away, in a measure, with tho demand for very frequent original productions. Facility of expression and the correct usc of words aro ncquirod in tho constant use of the black board. CORRECT SPEECH. Voting man, yon do not speuk correct ly. Why is it? what is tho matter? whero iles the tl i iii cul ty ? You know better. You bavo studied grammar. You have heard cultivated persons talk. How then is it that you givo yourself up to coarseness, to vulgarisms, to un ugly looseness of speech ? It is nothing but habit. Ono can become so accustomed to thinking and Bpuaking loosely and in correctly that it amounts to a habit, and a very hard one to break, too. My dcur young friend, don't put this matter off as of no importance : learn to think purely, nod think well ; learn to speak truly, and speak correctly. Ono has said that tho Bpeech, the manner, tho walk aro the alphabet by which we npell char acter. Young man, you aro making your character-how will it look when ono eau spell it out distinctly ? Lot those different letters bo clear and dis tinct and beautiful. Wo do not know but that Thoreau was right when ho said : "Wo aro all sculptors and painters, and our material is otrr own flesh, and blood, and bones. Any nobleness begius at once to reline a man's features ; auy meanness or sensuality, to imbrute them." . , . THE ANDERDON Iii I LI TA P. Y SCHOOL. Tc-Jay, (rom our window, we can seo tho Cedets from the Andersou Military School walking tho streets nnd shafting with all the vivacity of their boyish na tures. How happy they look I How jolly I How bright ! Commencement exorcises aro over, and the beautiful flowers, their trophic J, have beon taken to their rooms and pressed ready to be taken homo to mother and sister or bid den away to be kept as the most precious . treasure of life. T ai wo did not tako Up our pen for the purpose of writing to the boys. Though we feel just now Uko fill ing this entire column with words of en couragement and warning to tho boys, we desist, leaving the good impressions made by ?Sen. Capers' speech and the magnetism of his presence unmolested. Our province is to deal with the pub' lio schools of the County, but may we not bo excused for a few words in com mendation of the Anderson Military School? It seems to us that Andersou is pecu liarly blobed. Abovo every thing, crory town ought to baye a first class mille school. This Anderson bas. As to the military feature of this school, we know not enough of such things to express an intelligent opinion ; but BO' far as tbs 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 Boult). The principals ?re gentle men of acknowledged ab'Mty-the one, a graduate of tho old South' Carolina - College, wU'u many years experience aa a teacher,, and tho other a graduate of Woffbrd, with ton yoara expovieuce In the school-room, Aa nn evidence- of the? thorough training given to boya here, wo point with ho little prido to the record niaiio by the Anderson boya Io competitivo examinations for positions at West Point and Annapolis.

Anderson is regarded by,the wholesale merchants As on? oit the safest business pisces in upper Carolina ; she ?A noted not only for the financial stand " lng of her merchants, but for their fine bruin?s* capacity and integrity' of char actor a? well. Let it not bo forgot ton that serf many, if not a majority of tho professional sod business men of Ander ron received their mental and moral training nt thin school. DJ we appreciate this Behool as we ought ? I>J the citizens <>f Aiidere-ou County appreciate it HS they ought 1 ls their good re*?'jn for sending a boy away from Anderson County to be prepared for College or fitted for u business life? Aro wo not rather bound to support by our patronage and encouragement a cchool of Mich recognized ability? There ought tb be two hundred and lifty students in this school, and a largo num ber of them ought to bc from Ibo County. The free Bchoola and subscription schools scattered all over the County ought to be feeders for this central behool. Many boys, by bard work and economy, could go to thi* school, ?iud walk home every Friday Might, while to go oil' to Colum bia, or Greenville, or Spartanburg would perhaps be impossible. Besides, there is no sense in sending n boy olf to college to he put in tho preparatory department and prepared for thc regular college course. Let bim be pteparcd here ut Anderson foi a useful career iii life or a successful colli ge course. ./?. ie 4, 1880. 18 FRIDAY AN UNLUCKY DAY 1 A journal answers this question in the following satisfactory manner : On Friday, August 21, 111)2, Christo pher Columbus nailed on Iiis great voy age of (1 ?KOOvery. On Friday, October 12, 1192, ho firr-l discovered land. Cu Fridny, January d, 1493, he sailed on his return to Spain, which, if bc had not leached in safety, the happy result would never have been known which led to tho settlement on this vn*t continent. On Friday, March lu, 1493, bo arrived at I'alos in Bafely. On Friday, November 22, H'J.'l, he arrived at Hispaniola, on his second voyage lo America. On Fri day, June 13, 14?M, h'\ though unknown to himself, discovered the continent of America. On Friday, March 1496, Henry VIII, of England gave to John Cabot his commission, which led to the discovery of North America. This is the first American state paper in lang land. On Friday, September 7, 15G0, Melendez founded St. Augustin?-, Hie oldest town in tho United States by mote than forty years. On Friday, November 10, 1020, the May-llowcr, with thc Pil grims, made thc linrbor ot' I'rovincetowii ; and on tho HUIIIC day they signed that august compact, the forerunner of our present glorious constitution, (in Fri day. December 23, 1020, tho Pilgrims maun their final landing at Plymouth Hock. On Friday, February 22, 17?J2, George Washington, the father of Amer ican freedom, was born. On Friday, Juno lt?, Hunker Hill was seized and for tified. On Friday, October 7, 1777, Ibo surrender nf Saratoga was made, which had such power and influence iu induc ing Franco to declare for ollr cause. On Friday, September 22, 1780, the treason of Arnold was laid bare, which saved us from destruction. On Friday, October Pl, 1781, thc surrender at Yorktown, tho crowuing glory of the American arms, occurred. On Fridny, July 7, 1770, the motion in Congress was made by John Adams, seconded by Richard Henryl.ee, that the United States colonies wore, and of right ought to ho, free nud inde pendent. Thus, by numerous examples, wo 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. Tho president of ono of tho largest and busiest banks in tho vicinity of Wall Btreot said ono day lust week : "Money is simply a glut in the market; the banks uro becoming money poor." Tho speaker was ono ol' tho Inst of tho Now York bank presidents to cling to tho cus tom of paying interest on deposits in banks of discount. Ho abandoned tho custom roceully-except iu a few special cases-because tho present condition of tho bunking business did not warrant such payments. Thc same bank presi dent refused outright, a few days ugo, to accept a deposit of $150,000. llb bank has more moLoy than it knows what to do with. O. D. Baldwiu, presidcut of tho Fourth National, said there wus about JG 1,000,000 of cash lying idlo in tho banks. He declared that his batik would bo glad to loan money on call nt 3 per cout. per annum, but there seemed to ho no demand for large amounts. Henry Clews remarked , "Thc want of confi dence among investors has left tho banks, tbe trust companies, nud largo estates burdened with cash. It would be a good thing for business everywhere if somo of ?his monoy could bo got into activo cir culation." An old established law firm down towu holds moro than $2,600,000 of trust funds, for which they havo thus far boon unable to fiud profitablo invest ment. Most of the largo banks aro com plaining of tho stoady increase iu their cash supply. Oue Wall street ba'-k which controls a very largo c-stato has its vaults filled with money, which the bank hos thus fur been unable to placo to advantage. Tho undesirable plentitudo of cash is aot confined to banks and trust funds. Even tho large vaults in the.massive sub treasury building are becomiug uncom fortably crowded. It has recently boeu found necessary to put timber cross pi?ces in tho compartments of tho silver vault to prevent the iron partitions from being broken down by tho increasing ac cumulation of silver coin. Even tho central corridor of this vault is being slowly filled with bags of silver dollars, each bag weighing Atty pounds. Fortu nately, tho 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 mor.oy, 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 aro disposed of ip this way. In'one small compartment-not as largo, aa . a two foot cubo-thcro are packed, thirteen bundles of greenbacks of largo denominations. Each bundle contains exactly ri ,000,000. Bookkeeper Burr consulted bis lodger when asked how much money there waa in the sub treasury lost week-, and replied, "in round numbers, $172,000,000.?? - New York Time?. Bedclothes of Poper. A paper making firm in New Jersey has forsovcral weeks been turning out counterpanes and pillow cases of paper.

Il was a dump, foggy night in early spring, and 1 waa one of thc crew which , had in charge a "wild" freight, which ive had been most ol thc night- for il was nearly morning now in getting nu in significant distance toward our destina tion. We hud been ?ide tracked several times tor trains to pass UH, the last time for several hours, so that When we got under way and thought everything was clear for a good run. il was only about au hour before daylight-the very darkest time in a very ?lark night, however. I think 1 never daw a blacker, thicker atmosphere than wo had that night : even the lanterns could not u*> ?ccu more thin) the length of a half dozen cars. Wheu we got under headway I started to go up lo the engine for something, and was groping my way over the tops <>f thc cars very cautiously-for it was danger ous work, on account of tho darkness, for even au experienced brakeman, while I was green and awkward -when hap pening lo throw the light of my lantern down between two cara, ! saw a dark mass ol something against thc cud of one o? them. I stopped to look closer, and swinging my lantern between the curs saw il was .?onie poor fellow stealing a ride. Ile had his hal pulled down over his face, and, more asleep thau awake, was keeping in au upright position by dinning lo thc Steps used for getting up on lite car. Thu light 1 had thrown about him and the noise I had made roused bini up. When he saw he had been discovered he put the best possible face on tho matter and expressed his do termination Lp *tay on the train Until wc reached tho end of tr>e route. I told him thM lib could not do this, and wc ?uoil got into au angry dispute. He then climbed upon thc car, and as he did s>o I moved to the other end. In thia posi tion we continued our war of words, he, meanwhile, standing very close to thc end of thc cur. I soon concluded to leave him and lind out of tho conductor what should be done. I did nut like bia impudence and knew that BOinehow we would have lo gel him oil thc train ; but with thc indications of brawn and muscle which he possessed, I did not care about getting into close quarters alone on the top ot a freight car. As 1 was about to move away thc train gave a lurch as she struck au imperfect rail, which almost threw mc oft my feet. At thb ramo lime I saw my unwelcome passenger make a wild grasp in ibo air, as his budy swayed backward with thc shock through which il had been so hard for mc to keep my position ou I he. car, and aa dimly as 1 could sec his face tho expression of horror and fright wau one of ibo most puinfui sights I ever ?aw ; then he uttered a wild shriek, and half swinging around on one foot upon which he was trying lo balance himself, he fell hr.ul lung oui of sight between tho cars. On more piercing wail reached my ears, and then all was drowned in thc roar of tho on speeding train. It was not a manly thing to do, I am aware ; but 1 fainted on lop of tho car. II must have been about half an hour afterward, for it was by this time day light, when 1 came to and begau lo real ize what iiad happened. Aa soon as possible 1 got back lo tho caboose and detailed to the conductor what had oc curred. Hy this lime we wore ten or twelve miles fr JIU the scene of the h ci dent, au he said : "We're running wild, and if we go back and pick up the remains of lhat fellow it'll take nu hoi r. The only thing I can seo thal wo can do ia lo go on to tho next station and .tend for orders." Thia we did and got permission from headquarters to run back. Tho traiu had t:> back down, ofcour.se, and when wc came withiu a couple ot miles of tho poiut near which wo sup posed wu would fmd at least a portion of our man, tho train slackened its speed 1 and Ibo conductor aud myself began to keep a careful walch along the track. Presently from a clump of blackberry bushes, in tho corner of a rail fence, some ono ?nng out : "Gents, if you'uns cum clcau hack boro fur me, Isimply want to say thot I 'prcciato it. 'Tisn't every road'd do it. 1 ain't no pressiu' engagements at ibo end o' your line ; but 1 'prec?ate your kindness in courin' back fur mo, any how !" We peered in the direction indicated by tho voice. There, upon the top rail of thc fence, with ono leg thrown over tho other, aud calmly smoking a short pipe-a picture of impudence-sat tho fellow wo had expected to gather up in fragments, safo and sound, scarcely a scratch worse off than when I first aaw him between tho cara. Tho conductor grasped the situation at onco, and our train was soon again going forward. Ills feelings were so outraged to think tho man hadn't been killed hadn't even been burt-that he did noth ing hut heap abuse upon me until wo got our train in; aud I believe he considered mo as great n criminal because tho acci dent did not prove fatal to the fellow as though ho had been killed aud I wns tho direct cause of it. It seemed to roo that 1 was an entirely ''i.noccnt participant iu the incident ; but every ono appeared to think that by all laws of nature the man ought to have been killed, and lhat I, somehow, was the cause of tho thing missing fire, and was not to be trusted in consequence.

It is taken for granted that thoso who wish lo bo instruct ed have taken tho suggestions offered in those remarks. If not, theil tboy aro not intended for you. Ail of the now growth on the trees should bo rubbed off nowj and nil through tho. growing sea* son, except such as may be desired to ro main for branches, ft should bc the rule not to let ? singlo bud grow out that will not bo profitable to the tree. Hore 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 aro cut away after they havo abstracted from tho tree a large numbor of pounds of substance, which would have been such u.ito tho treo, bad the growth been removed when it first ?tarted. It is' easily done. The farmer's wife or daughters will find it an inviting exercise, besides the intellectual entertainment ino many growth will afford by suggesting thoughts sublimo, and good to the mind. If the trees are too full of fruit, remove tho smaller and effected ones as soon as you can decido upon their growth. If you havo a less number you will moro than regain the loss of number in pounds and quality or tho fruit. Do not allow young trees to over bear. Rcmovo all tho fruit down to just what tho limbs can hold without bending. It ia a great question,, yet not fully Bottled by fruitgrowers, whether a tree ought to beat mote 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 tree ; and lt may bo added that the lame trees will live longer and bear more fruit, year after year, if not permitted to be I come over-iadened with ita, fruit.

Jinking Their Own Dresses. A CUfiotlH feature of the home dress making furor that bat seized upon so many ludie? (bis ?Spring is the introduc tion of what arc termed figure-forms. Ladies who never thought of such a thing before are making a large part of their Hummer outfits lliem-telves, and even youDg ludiet in society, though they ?larc not trust themselves to get up their finest things, are trying ?heir hands, ?iib what ItBsifttancc they cad get, at making their own tennis suits and knockabout dresses for the mountains and reashorc. These figure-forms are made of /xijnrr martie and can easily be adjusted to any height. They also come in so many varieties ..nd sizes that with very little change and alteration they can bo made complete/ch; tirnilt* ol tho figures of thc Indies v.ho use them, with every propor tion of bust, arms, neck und waist exact. With one of these a lady hits compara lively little ditliculty in titting herself. With completed parla of a eoidume draped oil the lay figi 'e she contrasts und ptudiea the effect, ? well os exam ines the lit, und is thus enabled to toll satisfactorily in advance how everything will look. Going a step further some ladles have heads on their tigure forms, on which, they place and til hats and bonnets, and are in this way enabled to study out and anticipate every tletail of their appearance. This plan of having models has been found HO convenient that a number of fashionable and wealthy ladies who bave agieat many dret-aes made and who are anxious to avoid thc fatigue und annoy ance of so many fittings have themselves carefully repr . luced in ?tapicr niache, no that when th? j come to see about a suit they ntrctcl. themselves hack at Base ir. a cushioned chair and wait while the dress maker tells her assistant to "bring down Miss Smith" or "get Mrs. Uro wu out of tho closet," as tho case may be. Tho dresses arc then fitted on the lay figure. Ph iladctph ia Tima. Not a Hook Agent. There is a (Jeiicral of local fame who went through a very unhappy quarter of an hour n week or so ago. He has just returned from the Hast. There he made Ibo acquaintance of a yoting gentleman who is engaged to be married to a very charming Oakland girl. The truth, that always is Ibo accessory of separation of lovers, burned in the young mun's breast, nud he tonk thc opportunity, when the Uenernl was leaving, to loud him down with messages of love and a book for his fiancee. Tho gallant warrior undertook thc commission with all willingness, and when he had rested from bis trip he stuned oil* one Sunday morning for Oak laud with the book under his ann. Ile sought out the address given bim, for the young girl was it stranger to bim, and as lie approached he saw a lady sealed on the steps bf an Oakland villa. He op'Vied thc gate and 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 hook-" "I don't, want any books." "Is there a Miss Jenkinson ?" "There is." "Is she al home ?" "Yes." "I have hero a book-" "Miss Jenkinfon doesn't want any b.ioks." "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' liss interested mo greatly and I enclose to you directions for washing, which save nil rubbing. These directions were orig ?nally sent me from Germany, and have proved a boon to rich and poor alike, wherever recommended. Into a large boilor full of boiling water shave a pound and one-half of good brown soap (or its equivalent of soft-soap will do) and Sour half a lea cup of kerosene oil. oak the clothes over night, nest 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 into third. Starch and blue. If soda or any washing fluid is added, the whole process will prove unsuccessful. I hope that many will try Ibis simple plan of washing. Those who do will find 'Monday'divested of its borrer* ?> J wash ing day. Tho clothes must be wruug through the three waters, nnd the direc tions closely followed to insure perfect success. Thcro are soveral kinds of wash-boilers sold that arc made upon this principle. Tho boiling takes the place of rubbing. But it will be hard to convince house keepers that rubbing can bo oinittted. A Weorgla Boy's IL Ide.
