Wednesday, June 17.?Commencement exercises in Chapel, 9 a. in. Xhfl Ilonmi Path High School Commence? ment. It was our privilege as well as our pleasure to attend the closing exercises of Honea Path High School, which began luut Thursday uij;ht and e nded last Friday. And right here we desire to state that it is impossible to write up this occasion so as to give the reader a full idea of what a genuine success it was, and how well each one performed his or her part. Prof. J. H. Wat kins and all his assistants have good cause to be proud of their success. It reflects most favorably on them and their work, and illustrates their ability to train the young; but the most striking feature of it all to us was tho fact that in everything the leading idaa seemed to be personal character. The programme for Thursday night con? sisted of declamations by Messrs. L. E. Ezellj of Woodruff, and J. G. Payne, of Brushy Creek, this County, the annual debate of the Pierian Literary Society, ami: the annual address by J. C. Garling ton, Esq , of Laurens, S. C. The declamations were very good and well deliverod. The debate was on the following: "Resolved, that -the Tarilf is a disadvantage." The affirmative was espoused by Messrs. T. 0. Kirkpatrick, of Honea Path, and B. Y. Culhertson, of Ekorn, S. C.,, and the negative by Messrs.* J. E. Harper, of Woodvillo, S. C, and J. E. West, of Warthen, S. C Notwith? standing the question was a very weighty one, these young men handled it bravely and ably. At tho conclusion of the debate Messrs. T. H. Brock, H. S. Shumate and Dr. W. B. Smith, who composed the de? ciding committee, retired, and, after a short stay, rendered their decision in favor of the negative. The subject of Mr. Garlington's address was "Citizenship.1' The speaker treated his subject from the standpoint of Ameri? can citizenship, in which each individual is pro tanto responsible for the manage? ment of tho affairs of the Stato. A citi? zenship of free and equal rights. We wish every citizen of Anderson County could have heard this address. It was brimming full of good, solid matter that our people would do well to considor. Let |us be free American citizens. This concluded the exercises of the evening. The Honca Path String Band furnished delightful music for the occasion. On Friday morning after prayer by Mr. Brown, of Due West, the first thing was the welcome address by Mr. C. E. Burts, a son of Rev. T. B. Burts, of this County, This was one of the best, most appropriate, and in every., way admirable welcome ad? dress we eyer listened to. We might go over the whole programme of Friday and ; speak truthful I j' in glowing terms of each, but we shall only speak of tho ad? dress of Rev. J. A. Mundy, D. D., which was the last thing on the programme except the Valedictory by Mr. Henry Newton, of Garvin Township. Dr. Mun dy's discourse was taken from the phrase, ''?Searching for a man" He said he was satisfied tho young ladies of the audience were engaged in tho search for a ?man. If they are not they ought to be ; but he said he did not mean by the term man those donkies that womou hitch on to to be drawn through life. He said I mean a man, a real man, who is most like Him in whose image ho was m9de. This address should be long remem? bered by those who hoard it, aud tho youug people should earnestly strive to be men Honea Path cannot bo surpassed for educational facilities. No community has a better school, with better toachers, aud surrounded by a more favorable society and climate." The people of Honea Path aro always ready to make their visi? tors enjoy a stay in their town. This we did to the fullest extent. Notes.From TownvUlo.

This community has been visited with an abundance of rain tho past few days. "General Groen" is about to get the start of some farmers, but tho cotton and corn is growing rapidly. Some larraers are not done chopping cotton yet. . There was quite a difference in the first day of June last year and this year. Last year we had a considerable frost on that day, but this year the day was quite warm. Mr. J. F. Young went on a courting trip last Saturday, we suppose, but he didn't return until Wednesday evening. He says he just escaped getting drowned. Mr. W. A.

Mr. J. L. Pettigrew says ho has plenty of cotton squares. He is an ohergetic young farmer and understands it woll. He is also keeping bachelor's hall. He Is a good house-keeper, and an excellent cook. Girls, do you think you can beat his mode of house-keeping? Jiist go and ' see how nice a house he kcops, and how woll ho can cook; also, he has plenty of every thing around him to eat. Rev. C. V. Barnes preached at Fellow? ship on the 1st inst., and hie sermon was very impressive. He will preach at tho same Church on the 14th and 15th inst. Some of the Methodists have been speaking of building a Church near Moseley for some time, but some of them are not energetic enough to go at the work. If they are as slow about getting to Heaven as tbey are building a house of worship I fear thoy will miss it. Troup. Bellon Items. Refreshing showers continue to supply tho needs of both the promising field crops and the crippled grass. Farmers aro too busy, though, to stop to complain. Mr, B. A. Wilson and Miss Georgia McDavid returned last week from Rich? mond. Mr. Wilson was delighted with his visit. He thinks it one.ot the occa? sions when every old Confederate veteran 9hould have beon present. We aro much indebted to him for papers giving full account of the grand ceremonies.

Blackberries are ripening and soon blackberry pie will be in order. Itev. Mr. Wroten preached last Sunday at the Methodist Church. Kappa. * Craytonville Items. All the energy and every bit of skill that the farmers could got up, hag been applied strictly to the cotton fields for the last two weeks. It is a mighty hard thing* to find any one at home now, except at meal time. The little wee boys and girls, and ovon the very bolles of our section, have been called to take active parts against Gen. "Green's" forces. We were getting hopeful, but it rained again last Monday night, and our enemy is re-in forced, so we must rally and fight on. Not many are ovor the first time with the hoe. "Wheat is very sorry in this section, tho most of which has been harvested. So*uo Spring oats are very good. Old aunt Fannie Hanks, near this place, is very low at present. Is expected to live but a short time. We "have moro vegetables than we can eat. Wo havo potatoes, peas, turnips, collards, beans and onions, all ripe and good. Chickens arc getting ripe, also, though they are small, yet wo can mako out on ono unless wc have company; then wo must kill until there will be a piece for each aud ono over. Hero we will rolato an incidont that occurred uot far from hero a few years ago. A young man, who wo will call John, started to soo his girl one Saturday eve, carrying a little nephew with him. Ju.'it before reaching the place where they were going to spend the night, the young man said: "Buddy, I expect they will have chicken for breakfast, and you must not eat hut two pieces." Breakfast came and the dish containing the chicken had a lid on. Tho littlo nephew's eyes ruu ovor the tablo and, seeing no ehickon, thoy turned up to his uncle with an expression of great disappointment, while he said : "Uncle John, you said we would have chicken for breakfast." The little fel? low's eyes became bright again when tho lid was remove! and the nice brown, suro-enough chicken {could *he seen heaped up on tho dish. His two allotted pieces were soon dovoured, and, remem? bering his uncle's words, ho stoutly ro fused to take any more. The good lady knew.the nature of all children in regard to fried chicken, so she insisted, and asked him if he did not waut moro. The littlo fellow's face reddened a little and he said; "Yes'm, but unnolo Jehu told me as we came on not to eat hut two piecea-" Not a few can imagine tho young man's feel? ings. Wc havq no account of what he said, but as thoy journeyed back home one would suppose he said something liko this: "Bud, I'll leave you p,t homo next time. On last Sunday JR..Bethel Church was filled to its utmost soatiug capacity, and the Key. Mr. Hayes preaclied one of tho best sermons oyoi listened Ui. After preaching sacramental servieo3 were hold.

Editor: As it is rumored through? out the County that the County Denio [ cratic Executive Committee have decide j not to allow Col. Dargan, of Sumter, to speak at the mass meeting at Anderson, much restless uneasiness and anxiety pro vails. Is it a fact that in the discussion of political matters in South Carolina that a citizen can not be heard in his own de? fence? Riot and bloodshed arc predicted in the event of Col. Dargan answering the charges against him. It seems passing strange that the people of any community, and especially a community so advanced in civilization as the people of Anderson, would, under any circumstances, rofuse to hear any citizen in his own defense. If not allowed to speak at tho stand, there Is no doubt hut what Col. Dargan, will, if lie comes to Anderson, be allowed somewhere ihn privilege of speaking to I lie people of Anderson. The^pcople.of thin County arc satisfied that something is wrong* or the wliuop, whoop, for Tillinnn reform amounts to nothing, and the peo? ple want to know two or three things: 1st. Has there been rascality, and if so, where? 2nd. Has there been cj-lravaynncc, and, if so, in what did it consist? 3rd. What is the remedy, and how can it be brought about? Get down to a bill of particulars. The people do not care to know how a man happened to be a candidate for any ofilce whatever, as all arc aware of the fact that it was because he wanted it and his friends encourage it. If you cry reform, show the people the evil and how you are going to remedy it. The day of buncombe and e3Te-browsing has played out, and what we all want now?farmers, mer? chants and overyhody else?is facts and figures. No time to wait to hear of the various methods, used to bring, yes, drag you unwillingly into the campaign. No matter how you got them, if you have any rcmoly for real or imaginary evils, say so, and cease to discuss yourselves. What wo want is a fair hearing, an hon? est deal, and if the people gel. left they have nobody to blame but themselves. Pa in Play. "Jumbo" Speaks Again. Mit. Editor: I hope the roaders of your valuable paper will pardon "Jumbo" for again appearing in your columns. I must confess that my old blunderbuss scatters amazingly, and if anybody gets peppnred, it will "not bo my fault if they are in tho way. Why don't the candidates or the offico Backers show their faces? The county, is full of them. I can toll thorn by thoir grip, aftd they areall anxious to know how tho old woman and the babies are getting along. They are so affable and pliant, will bond about almost any way. Come out, gentlemen, and declare yourselves as I have done. It is not so deop. And if you are one of tho "March Chickons," say so, and lot the peoplo know your political faith. If you are for Ben. Tillman lot us know it. I will say right here that I am opposod to Tillman or any other man from the lowor Counties, but will go my full length for any man from the upper Coun? ties, let him be a farmer, lawyer, doctor, "dog pelter," or what not, provided he has the right qualifications, I am not like some of my brother farmers, whosay they will vote for no man unless he is a farmer. 1 think this is wrong, for we should always Bupport our best men for public positions, for we want men and measures combined. Measures without men would be like a cat in the bottomless pit without claws, and men without measures would be still worse. I know full well that we people have been gulled time and again, and have been feu on corn cobs, while a set of spavined, hamstrung, broken-down aris tocracyjias had their, noses in tho public crib until.they think the whole concern belongs to them and nobody else. And these hungry politicians still keep tugging away at the public pap and say you must let down your milk or you will have a spoilt bag. Do they still think thoy can keep on stuffing the people with this kind of moonshine ? No, never, for we people have aroused from our lethargy and laid hold of the old political ship ol Ziou aud proposo to guide her safely through tho campaign, steering clear of tho breakers that have heretofore been in our way. Mr. Editor, this public grindstone is a great in? stitution?perhaps one of the groatest that has ever been invented, but I think there is too much private cutlery being ground on it. There is no pay in it for the poor old farmer, arid it must aud shall be stopped. Occasionally there is a groat big axeifiat has to be fixed for hewing ofT the knots and the bumps that happen to be in the way to higher progress. This grind ? stone begins to turu,. add all axes arc soon brought to a go,odvUoen edge, and the poo ple are expecting' to soon see tho road cleared of all tho rubbish. But! alas! tho axes are all slyly taken to improve somo faithful firfefi'd's acres. Then the peoplo bogin to curse and swear because the job has not.been properly done*. Now, I toll you this priyajie..gnnding jmist cease soon? er "or'later, for the limn has now come when those tricksters will be put to the grindstone instead of thoir axes, and I am afraid if the machine is not stopped, the grease will soon give out. Thon what a cioaking wo will near. Oh ! my country! my country! my bleeding country! who shall deliver us from this bondage? Now, my dear'readers, I will close these ramb? ling remarks, lest I woary you, but boforo 1 close I want to remind you all that I am still a candidate for the Legislature, and hope you wiii all remombor on the day of election. ? Before I forget, what about Mr, Lati mer's letter to Col. J. J. Dargan, of Sum? ter? Does the county belong to As burj'? If so, how long has ho been in possession of the prendses? What impu clenco!
