Dick son, and an Address by Col. McGowan. The second Commencement of the Pat? rick Military. Institute since this excellent educational institution was located in Anderson, began last Friday evening and closed on Tnesday, the 18th. The hall was beautifully decorated, this being the work or the lady friends of the Cadets, working under the supervision of Mrs. Gurganns, and, of course, assisted by their brass-buttoned gallants. At an early hour the hall began to fill, and it was soon apparent that its utmost capacity would be insufficient to accommodate the throng who would seek admission. At half past eight the exercises, consisting of speeches and dialogues, were begun. Ow? ing to the great number of speakers, it will be impossible to give their names, Suffice it to say that all went off very nicely indeed. The exercises were brought to a close at about 12 o'clock with a comic drill, which was much apprecia? ted by the audience. Capt Patrick then made announce? ments as to the further Commencement exercises, after which the audience dis? persed, well pleased with what they had seen and heard on this, the first night of the "P. M. I." Commencement. Sunday, .the 16th, was the day upon which the Commencement Sermon was to be preached at the Baptist Church, by Rev. J. Walter Diokson, the Presiding Elder of this District. The day was all that could have been desired, the sun shining from a. clear sky, its warm rays tempered by a cool breeze from the west, raaking one feel that it was, indeed, a blessing to be able to enjoy the glories of such a day. At an early hour the congregation began to fill tbe capacious building, and long before the hour for the sermon the ushers were having trouble to seat the ever increasing throng that en? gaged their attention. The Cadets occu? pied the first four or five seats next to the pulpit, and as they came in in Military order, it made a goodly sight, and one of which any community might well be proud. Besides the orator of the day, the follow? ing gentlemen ocoupied seats on the pul? pit: Rev. A. A. Marshall, pastor of the Church, Capt. J. B. Patrick, Principal of the "P. M. I.," Prof. W. J. Ligon, Lieut. J. M. Patrick, Dr. W. H. Nardfn and Rev. 3. B. Murray. Promptly at 11 o'clock the exeroises of tbe day were opened by the choir, which was led by Mrs. Gurganus, rendering a magnificent Voluntary, "Gloria," from Mozart. Mr. Dickson then gave. out hymn 847, which was beauti? fully sung,, the congregation joining tbe choir in its rendition. Tbe morning lesson was then read, the selection being the first Psalm, and also the 4th chapter of Matthew, or so muchjof it as contained the account of the tempta? tion of our Saviour. Mr.'DioksorLthen offered a very fervent prayer^ff?trcloso of which Mrs. Gurganus sang ye, bnertory, ''Jesus, Lover of my Soul," to themuBic of "The Last Rose of Summer." This was the most pleasing feature of the day, as the rendition exhibited wonderful skill in the control of her voice by this delightful singer. After another song by the choir and congregation, Mr. Dickson announced, as his text, the first eleven verses of the 4th chapter of the Gospel by Matthew, containing the story of the temptation. It will be impossible to do more than give an epitome of the grand sermon with which the eloquent divine charmed his hearers, and which was lis? tened to. with rapt attention by the im? mense crowd which the ushers had suc? ceeded in packing in the pews. After a few preliminary remarks, Mr. Dickson announced as his theme, "Jesus Christa Young Man." The subject could not have , been more appropriate, and was most skillfully handled, the object of the speaker being to show that in his human? ity Christ was just as subject to tempta? tions as any other young man, aud that he met temptation as a man, and was able to resist evil by the power of God, and that the same temptations can be successfully resisted by the young man of to-day if he will use the same means our Saviour used in his temptation.. The speaker then went on to designate some of the temptations to which the "the young" are peculiarly subject, and men? tioned, among others, the strong desire for material prosperity, which so often leads young men to compromise their honor in order to attain to this prosperity. These and many other important truths were very forcibly promulgated by the speaker, who closed with an earnest ap? peal to the Cadets, especially to the mem-1 bars of the graduating class, to take Je? ans' temptation as an example, and resist temptation by the same power that ena? bled him to successfully resist it; to study the Bible as I the means , by which they would be enabled to resist the Devil, as our Saviour had done, by fighting him with the Bible. It was, indeed, a very' fine sermon, and was delivered in a tone and manner calculated to make a lasting impression on the congregation. At the close of the sermon Rev. J. S. Murray led in prayer, after which that grand hymn, "All hail the power of Je bub' name," was sung, the benediction was pronounced by Mr. Dickson, and the con? gregation slowly moved out, well pleased with the exercises of the day. MONDAY NIGHT had been Bet apart for the second annual celebration of the Calophemian and Poly hymnlan Literary Societies, and an inter? esting programme had been arranged for the occasion.' At an early hour the spacious chapel was :illed to its utmost seating capacity with an intelligent and appreciative audi? ence, many persons from tbe country being present. Tho Young America Cornet Band was present, and after it had rendered a lively air, Rev. J. G. Williams, of Allondale, S. 0., led in prayer. Capt. J. H. Coker, of Society Hill, S. C, President of the Calophemian Society, delivered a brief but appropriate address of welcome, and then introduced (as the first declaimer Cadet M. D.' Cheves, of Montezuma, Ga., who was followed by Cadet J. G. Williams, of Allendale, S. C. The next on the programme was the original speeches. The following Cadets spoke on the subjects named: "Power of Mind"r-Sergt. T. 0. Sanders, of Bumter, S. C; "Destiny of man"-Cadet J. P. Saxon, ofLaurens, S. C.; "Ideal"?Sergt. D. M. Johnston, Jr., of Elko, S.U.; "Mistakes"?Adjt. O.A.Milford.ofTown ville, S. 0. These young gentlemen ac? quitted themselves exceedingly wall. Tho speeohes were of a high order, and were well delivered. After another piece of muslo by the Band, the joint debate was next in order. The query was, "Resolved, That the United States should Adopt an Educa? tional Qualification for her Voters." The affirmative was maintained by Cadet D. M. Young, of Sumter, Lieut. Percy Sharpe, of Broyles, and Cadet G. A. Miller, of Anderson; the negative by Lieut. M. A. Dean, of Deans. Capt. J. D. Lowrance, of Columbia, ana Sergt. T. G. Talberfc, of Edgefield. These young gen? tlemen handled the subject in a masterly manner, and tbe debates would have done credit to older men. The subject is an old one and has often beon discussed, but many new ideas and arguments were presented on both sides by the speakers, who had evidently given much thought and study to the subject. This conoluded the evening's pro? gramme, which was interesting through? out. The audience had listened patiently and attentively to the speakers, each of whom had done well. At tho conclusion of their 'speeches the young gentlemen were loudly applauded, and wore the re? cipients of many beautiful floral tributes from their fair young lady friends. The closing commencement exercises took place Tuesday, begining at ten o'clock with -prayer by Rev. A. P. Nicholson, just after which Capt. Patrick introduced as the first speaker of the day, Cadet J. D. Lowrance, of Colombia, who very grace? fully delivered a neat speech on ''Genius and Effort." The next speaker was Cadet C. A. Milford, of Townyllle, who spoke on "The debt we owe to the Past," a thought? ful discourse and well delivered- Cadet M. A. X'ean, of Dean's, next discoursed on "The spirit of the age," advancing some very wholesome ideas?some in praise, others in condemnation of the spirit which moves the ago. Cadet Percy Sharpe, of Anderson County, chose as his thome, "The duty of the South," and in a neat Bpeech endeavored to show the duty of the South to itself, and. relatively to the other sections of our country, that with her many advantages, climatic and otherwise, she should be Belf-snpporting in every particular, and then and only then could she hope to occupy her posi? tion among her sister sections. Cadet G. W. Whitlock, of Union, spoko of the practical side of life, his subject being "What our Country Owes to the Farmer," in which the Farmer was held up in his proper light as the chief nupport of all enterprise?the bed rock on which rests the material prosperity of our country. Cadet T? W. Gary, of Newberry, next gave a very pleasing oration on "Sup? pressed Lives," and was followed by Ca? det J. H. Coker, of Darlington, whose subject was "Two Graves." This was a very thoughtful, carefully prepared and well-delivered speech, drawn from the incident that the grave of Napoleon Bona? parte, the greatest warrior of any age, and that of Mrs. Judson, the wife of the first Missionary to the Heathen, were both at one timo on the rocky little isle known as St. Helena, and from this incident the speaker drew a comparison of the life and works of the occupants of those "Two Graves," the one representing Belf aggrandtzement, the other self-sacrifice. Cadet J. M. Fant, of Anderson County, was the last speaker, and delivered a very pretty speech on "The Study of Nature," wherein he labored to demonstrate the many and wonderful lessons we always learn from a study of nature. This was one* of the best efforts of the day, and showed that the speaker was a close ob? server of nature and of nature's ways. At the close of Mr. Fant's speech Capt. Patrick said it was with great pleasure that he announced the presence of Col. W. C. McGowan, of Abbeville, who would now favor us with an address. Col. McGowan then advanced to the front, and after a few graceful remarks in explanation of why he ad not committed his speech to memory, as he fully expected to do and would have done but for sickness in his family, pro? ceeded tc deliver from manuscript a care? fully written speech on "Success in Life." The Bpeaker denied that there was any such thing as genius?as separate from ear? nest, persistent laborr-and by a few happy illustrations demonstrated that that which men call genius is in most cases nothing more than a capacity for hard work. The eloquent gentleman took the further ground that a man can succeed at anything that he labors conscientiously and earnest? ly to achieve, and in support of his posi? tion cited many instances of what seemed hopeless tasks having been accomplished by an undying determination to succeed. Col. McGowan showed himself by this speech to be a gentleman of broad culture and of extensive reading, and to hear him was a treat one does not often enjoy. The orations having come to a close, the medal for the Cadet snowing the greatest proficiency in the business department was awarded to Cadet Richbourg, of Clarendon, and wa3 presented by Rev. A. A. Marshall In a very neat little speech. Certificates were then presented to the othor members of the class in book-keeping, after which diplomas were awarded to the following". Cadets: J. D. Lowrance, of Columbia; T. W. Gary, of Newberry ; C. A. Milford, M. A. Dean, Percy Sharpe, J. M. Fant, of | Anderson County; G. W. Whitlock, of Union, and J. H, Coker, of Darlington. Capt. Patrick made a few remarks to the graduates, assuring them of his high esteem, and of his interest in them. Rev. A. P. Nicholson then pronounced the benedic? tion, and the Commencement of the Pat? rick Military Institute for the year 1889 entered into the shadowy realms of the past. Annual Inspection of the Fire Department. Tho Annual Inspection and Parade of J the Fire Department will take place on Tuesday afternoon, June 25th, 1889. The Fire Companies will assemble promptly, in full uniform and with apparatus at 4 o'clock p. m? on Main 8treet, near the corner of Greenville Street.

Immediately after inspection races will be engaged in by select teams of the Pio? neer and-Independent Hook and Ladder Companies. Grease a Fat Hog. Editors Intelligencer : It is seeming? ly str?ng?', but only too true, of the old adage that "the fat hog gets the greasy slop." When the cotton mill subscription list was started, men of the smallest means were the most liberal .subscribers. Like the widow's mite, they chipped in their last cent, not as an investment, but as an enterprise, as all enterprising citizens Bhould do. and where they hoped to be re? munerated was in the increase of their business accruing from the extra amount of cash that mUst necessarily be put in cir culation from the wages of the laborers, &c, that it would take to erect and operate the factory. But monopoly, favoritism, or a little speculative scheme stalks into the arena?the big fish gets the bait, and the little one gets the g. b. Eyery one can ful? ly understand how the contractors can stand in with certain parties who have the means to assist them, and how a wheel can turn in a wheel, but it seems that in justice to every one, let them be great or small, the committee who let the contract to build the factory should, with equal diligence, see that the money paid to laborers, &c, should have been paid to them in cash, so they could spend it when and where they pleased, as they were to let it to the lowest responsible bidder. This is our factory, and not mine; this is an enterprise, and not a speculative machine to fill the cof? fers of the favored few, when it is built by the many. The writer of this is a small subscriber to every enterprise that he has had an opportunity to subscribe to, but if the money that goes to erect them and ope? rate them must be so managed as to give to one or two establishments the sole con? trol of the trade, wages, &c, I for one have subscribed my last cent, and heartily en? treat all small fry to keep their hard-earn? ed little money in their own pockets, which they must necessarily do to cope with mo? nopolies and cliques. It is poor encour? agement to strangers to come and invest their money when by a preconcerted ar? rangement the trade, wages and supplies, cuts him out of trading with any of the operatives, for the reason that the poor devil is paid in scrip, and it is-negotiable only at one particular place. It may be fair, but is hard, nevertheless, on the man of limited means, or who are not favorites, and only shows the programme of the fu? ture management of factory bosses, &c. _OllSERVBB.

Mr. Odenheimer in a letter to me stated he could furnish this County three hundred thousand yards. Now, to avoid worry and disappointment when we are ready to use the bagging, prompt and decided action is necessary on the part of each sub-Alliance in placing their orders. All that is necessary to secure cotton bag? ging is to put the orders in proper shape and send them, in at once. A. C. L. The Lane Mill is ready now to receive orders for Odenheimer Cotton Bagging, 44 inches wido, weighing three-quarters of a pound to the yard, which covering was adopted for permanent and exclusive use by National Farmers' Alliance and Wheel of America, at their meeting at Birming? ham, Alabama, on May 15 and 16, 1589. Price 121 cents net cash f. o. b. New Or? leans. On orders aggregating 25,000 yards during the season, 2 per cent, allowance. On orders to bo placed on or before June 24,1880.

All shipments to be paid for against sight drafts, bill of lading attached. A deposit of 25 per cent, must accompany all orders unless same come through a responsible business house or bank, or else be accompanied by a cer? tificate of bank or responsible business house, stating they will pay onr sight draft for the amount of the bagging when ship? ped. The bagging is put up in rolls of about 50 yards each. It is desirable, in i order to make payments easier to direct your orders to be shipped twice a month, say from August to December. To avoid mistakes make your shipping directions very plain. We are probably the only mill making tho bagging 44 inches wide this season, for which reason, we think we will be overcrowded with orders soon ; it is desirable, therefore, if you wish your orders booked in time that you place them at once.

The cotton will have to be re thinned, or the most of it. Some havn't thinned the first time yet Mr. Butler Durham has the best field of corn and cotton we have seen this season. Mr. Durham is one among the best far? mers in this section. Oats have improved wonderfully since the rain. Wheat is somewhat low, but well-filled, and ere long we will hear the hum of the thresher. Mr. D. M. Tippens has rented the An? dersonville Mills, and has it in good re? pair, ready and willing to grind the grain on short notice. We bespeak for him a liberal patronage from the people. Mr. W. B. Durham is the champion snake-killer. We understand he killed a highland moccasin six feet long. Mr. D. is considered a truthful man by his friends. The Farmers' Alliance at the Broyles' Lodge is in a prosperous condition, but from all accounts it can't keep up with the Georgia Alliance. The good people of Andersonville were sadly disappointed last Sunday , night, as Rev. M. L. Carswell, of Georgia, did not fill his appointment to preach for them, but notwithstanding their disappoint? ment, the young people spent an hour at the house of Mr. Newton Smith very pleasantly in singing. In company with a yonng friend we visited the Sunday School at Anderson? ville last Sunday, and met many of our old classmates. The school is presided over by by Hon. E. P. Earle as Superin? tendent. The school has done well in selecting Mr. Earle as their leader. The music was fine, with Miss Effie Durham as organist and Mr. R. V. Dyar leader.
