Mr. Samuel M. Pickona, who is well

him a rifle.. During the altcrnoon the lit?
tle boys were shooting the rifle, and being
unaccustomed to handle a gun, in some
way, which neither Mr. Pichen? nor they
can explain, it was discharged when tbey
wero not expecting it, and to the surprise
and horror of Mr. Pickens ho was- shot.
The bullet entered between the fourth and
fifth ribs on the left side just over the
heart. To add to the horriblencss of the
O3casion the-little fellows were not large
enough to hitch up the horse and drive
home, and this had to be done by the
wounded man. As soon as he arrived at
the residence of his father-in-law, Col. J.
W. Tro wbridge, Doctor Nardin was sent for.
They searched for the ball but were unable
to lind it. -While it is a very serious and
painful wound, it is not now considered.
dangerous. Mr. Pickens is doing very
well and is able to walk about the house.
We join his many friends in wishing him
a speedy recovery.

College.
There are no enterprises connected with
the growth and prosperity of our city that
aro fraught witji more real interest to the
city and County than are her schools
They are all of the utmost importance, and
especially is this true of the Anderson Fe?
male College, which has just ended the
first year of its existence. The closing
exercises of this institution were celebrated
last Thursday night in the Chapel of the
Patrick Military Institute. As the Presi?
dent, Rev. A. A. Marshall, bad been too
?unwell to take any part ip the conduct of
the school for some months, it was not ex?
pected that the closing exercises would be
of .-an elaborate order, out notwithstanding
'many and serious disadvantages under
which the assistant teachers labored, tbey
determined to get. up an entertainment,
.'which, while not attempting to be very
showy, yet such as would demonstrate to
their patrons and friends the solid charac?
ter of the work the College is doing. That
this was accomplished, the following pro?
gramme, which was faithfully carried out,
'will fully demonstrate to the most incred?
ulous, especially when it is remembered
that the great majority of those taking
part appeared that evening for the first
time in such capacity. The following is
the programme:

received the medal awarded to the student
making the best progress in music during
the term.. This was followed by an exhi?
bition in calisthenics, after which tho au?
dience was dismissed.
The programme throughout was a most
enjoyable one, and the large audience
present attested its appreciation of the en?
tertainment by frequent and liberal ap?
plause.
The accomplished teachers in the College
deserve all the praise that has been bo
stowed upon them for the success of the
occasion.

PATRICK MILITARY INSTITUTE.
Third Annual Commencement?Sermon by
Rev. Wm. Grlor, J>. !>.?Speeches by the
Cadets?Address by Col. J. J. Dargan
Graduating Class, Etc.
The Patrick Military Institute, an in?
stitution that Anderson is justly prond o',
has just closod another prosperous session,
and the third annual Commencement be?
gan last Sunday und was concluded Wed?
nesday morning. Tho occasion has been
looked forward to with tho most pleasant
anticipations by the cadets as well as tho
friends and patrons of the Institute, and a
large number of visitors have been here to
enjoy the exercises with us.
One of the most interesting features of
the exercises every year is, of course, the
Commencement Sermon, which was
preached this time by Rev. Wm. M. Grier,
D. 1)., the well known President of Ers
kino College, Due West, S. C, in the
MethodiBt church on Sunday morning at
11 o'clock, Tho day was a most beautiful
one, and, as all of the othor Churches of
tho city were closed, an immense congre?
gation was present to hear tho eloquent
and distinguished divine. Every nook and
corner of the spacious Church was utilized,
and the aisles were filled with chairs, but
even then many persons had to be turned
uway for -want of room to accommodate
them.
Shortlly before the servioes began, the
cadets marched into the Church and occu?
pied the seats which had been reserved for
then:. Immediately in front of thfi pulpit.
Col. Patrick and the other members of the
faculty took seats inside the altar. Dr.
Friorson occupied a seat on the pulpit plat?
form with Dr. Grler, and assisted in the
service;..
After the usual services preceding the
sermon, Dr. Grier announeod as his text,
I Timothy, G:12?first clause of the verse:
"Fight the good fight of faith."
As an introduction to the sermon prop?
er, Dr. Grier said the combative elements
in man is strong and universal. It is
among the earliest manifestations. Onr
children tight while yet in their swadling
clothes. Since tho fall this combative ele?
ment enters largely into human progress.
It needs to be sanctified, consecrated to the
cause of truth and righteousness, but
without it there is no grand achievement.
The Apostle asserts that this fight of faith
is a good fight. What is there that makes
it such ? What is there in this principle
which not only relieves conflict of Its hor?
rors, but which even sanctifies it?
1. This principle recognizes and insists
on the supremacy of spiritual over the
material, the unseen over the seen, the
eternal over the temporal. Whatever high
qualities may be displayed in the acquisi?
tion of wordly good and earthly success,
he makes a fatal mistake who bounds his
existence by three score years and ten.
Such human endeavor disowns and ignores
as far 03 possible, the highest faculties of
our nature. It makes consoicnee a lie and
death an eternal sleep.
2. It is good because its weapons are
spiritual and not carnal. Moral and spir?
itual victories are often won on the battlo
fields of earth, but this is not the divinely
appointed method of building up tho
Kingdom of righteousness. David put it
all in a nut shell when he said to Goliath:
"Thou comest to me with a sword, and a
spear, and a shield, but I am come to thee
in the name of the Lord of Hosts, the God
of the armies whom thou hast deGcd."
The Church has to deal with moral evil.
It cannot be dealt with on the piinciplo of
physical force.
3. It is a good fight because of the char?
acter of those engaged in it. A bad cause
may have good men in it, and a good cause
may have bad men in il, but you can gen?
erally judge of the character of a cause by
the character of those who fight for it.
Those enlisted in this cause are men and
women of whom this world is not worthy.
In times past they counted not their lives
dear for him'whom having not seen they
loved. They did not seek conflict, but
when it came they endured to the death.
Is there no inspiration in standing with
such a goodly company and fighting for
tho empire of Christianity. The Apostle
thought so when he said : "Seeing, then,
that wo are compassed about with so groat
a cloud of witnesses, let us lay asido every
weight and the sin which doth so easily
beset uv?
This idea of conflict invests the Chris?
tian life with the utmost seriousness. The
Scriptures are saturated with it?in its
imagery, its exhortations and its prom?
ises. Is there not a tendency to an incor?
rigible frivolity in our American life ?
Scenes the most sacred, events the most
affecting, truths the most solemn are re?
garded tit subjects for the humorist. The
noblest qualities of our nature cannot
- thrive in an atmosphere like that; they
wither and die for lack of nourishment.
Let us go back to the old Apostolic idea,
that sin is a dreadful evil, and this world
is under its awful curse; and as the groans
of the dead and dying come up into your
ears, "I beseech you gird np the loins of
your mind and fight the good fight of
faith."
Of course, tho above is only a brief sy?
nopsis of the sermon, which was eloquent,
powerful and suggestive throughout. The
forty-five minutes it occupied glided away
rapidly, and the large congregation would
have listened to the eloquent divine for
anjhour longer with the greatest interest.
On Monday night a large and cultured
audience greeted the cadets at the Institute,
the spacious chapel being filled to its ut?
most seating capacity, and many persons
standing around the doors and windows.
The rostrum was tastefully and beautiful?
ly decorated, tho beautiful flowers
and evergreeus giving evidence that
fair hands had assisted the cadets. A
large State flag covered the rear wall, and
above it, in large gilt letters, were the
words, "Truth, Duty and Honor." On
the left of tho flag was a large picture of
Gen. Leo, and on the right one of Gen.
Hampton. Several small United States
flags were also arranged in the decorations.
Seated on the rostrum were Mayor Trib?
ble, J. J. Baker, J. E. B.reazeale, Dr. W.
H. Nardin, Rev. T. F. Gadsden, represen?
tatives of the localpress, Col. J. J. Dargan,
of Sumter, Hon. W. J. Tolbert, of Edge
field, Capt. S. F. McCants, of Richmond,
Va., Col. D.M. Johnston, of Barn well, and
the Young America Cornet Band, which
rendered some fine music at intervals dur?
ing the evening's programme.
The exercises began promptly at 8
o'clock, and consisted of declamations and
dialogues, the majority of those partici?
pating being members of the primary de?
partment of the Institute. The following
is a list of the declaimors with their sub?
jects:

At tbis juncture in the programme six?

The speeches had been carefully solected,
and in delivering them the cadets acquit?
ted themselves exceedingly well, many of
thorn oviucing considerable talent in ora?
tory. The large audionce enjoyed the ex?
orcises throughout.
On Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock the
exorcises were resumed by prayer by Rev.
L. M. Ayer, after which Col. John J. Dar?
gan, of Sumter, woa introduced to the
largo audionce whiclt had -gathered: to
hear him. His address was on the subject
of "Citizenship?-its Privileges and Du?
ties." This was a practical and common
sense discourse on the privileges and duties
of an American citizen. The speaker said
tha reason why we did not appreciate and
ch-.i.-i u more sacredly our privileges as
oitizci.s was because we did not remember
the greit price that was paid for them by
our ancestors. If we would but recall the
many hard fought battles and other strug?
gles that they paid for the freedom of
speech and liberty of the press, we would
frown down any attempt to suppress
either. In thi3 country man only holds
in trust for the benefit of the whole State
the right to vote, and he who asks me for
my vote asks me for that I have not the
right to give. I hold that right, not as
property, but as a duty to be performed
for the benefit of the State, and I cannot
give it away. He also dwelt at some
length on'the government of this country,
saying that the officers were not the own?
ers of offices, but were trustees, holding
the offices for the benefit of the eatigue
trust (the peopie.) The more educated
and intelligent people are, the less govern?
ing they need, but an illiterate, barbarous
people required a bard government, strict?
ly administered. From first to last it was
a good speech, full of solid matter. He
had a fall house, who gave him good at?
tention and applauded him.
: At the conclusion of Col. Dargan's
speech, Rev. L. M. Ayer gave the audience
the benefit of a lecture on evolution,
which was able and scientific.

Haaseln and Col. J. W. Trow bridge fur?
nished music for the occasion, which was
greatly enjoyed.
In the afternoon at nix o'clock there was
a drill by the Battalion and also by the
picked squad on the University grounds.
This showed careful training, and that the
Cadets are well drilled. A large crowd of
ladies and gentlemen were present to wit?
ness the drill.
On Tuesday night the Chapel was again
crowded to its fall capacity by an appre?
ciative audience. After music by the

Society, made a short address of welcome,
and introduced as one of the declaimers,
Lieut. L. L. Hatcher, whose subject was
"Billy's Rose." He was followed by the
other declaimer, Sergt. W. S. Richbourg,
whose subject was "Parrhasius."
The original speakers were next Intro
ducfid, as follows: Sergt. P. J. Coleman,

phonian Literary Societies, on the query :
"Resolved, That the Negro should be Col?
onized." Lieut. A. S. Farmer and Capt.
T. G. Talbert were the affirmative speak?
ers, and Sergt. A. H. Byrd and Sergt. D.
M. Young the negative. If space permit?
ted we would ? give a synopsis of the
speeches, which were listened to with
deep interest. The subject was ably han?
dled, and showed that the debaters had
given much study to the question.
Wednesday morning the regular Com?
mencement exercises began at 0 o'clock, in
the presence of a large audience. The
graduating class occupied seats on the ros
trurn, and the members were, in turn, in?

recipient of beautifnl bouquets.
Cadet J P Lee, Jr., was awarded the
gold medel, the prize which is offorcd every

The following cadets received certificates
in book-keeping: J B Cassels, W F Bran?

Moore, N G Morral and T 0 Sanders.
Col Patrick then, in a few appropriate
remarks, presented the members of the
graduating class with their diplomas and
the exercises came to an end.
.The Commencement has been a most in?
teresting one. The faculty have done
their part well, and too much praise cannot
be given them. Col Patrick is to be con?
gratulated. The Institute has closed a
most successful session, and its future is a
bright one.
Death of a good Citizen.
Mr. James Monroe Smith died at his
home near Slabtown on Wednesday, June
11th, in the 72d year of his age, leaving be?
hind him a wifo and eight children. A good
man and citizen he was, faithful and just in
all the relations of life, and above all, a
sincere and humble Christian, patiently
waiting for "the coming of the bride
froom." For about a half century he had
ecu a membecof Carmel Church, and a
large portion of that time one of its offi?
cers, until the organization of the Slab
town Church, near his home, when he re?
moved his membership there. Descended
from pious revolutionary stock, he was au
ardent patriot, and loved his native State,
and had ever been true to her ancient tra
ditions and history, and has gone to the
grave leaving behind him a memory which
can ever be cherished by his loved ones as
sweet and fragrant. The deceased had
been greatly blessed in the rearing of his
family, all of whom that have settled in
life are useful and honored men and wo?
men, aud all of whom, as well as the
younger ones just coming upon the scene
of action, have been endowed by nature
and education for useful stations in life.
One by one the old landmarks of Car?
mel and Slabtown are falling by the way?
side, and the writer of this, who has known
him for nearly a half century, will greatly
miss his familiar form and voice when re?
visiting the scenes of his boyhood. May
the stricken widow and children be enabled
to bow with humble resignation to the
"Judge of all the eaith," who "will do
right." A Friend.

A Newsy Letter from Lowndesvlllu.
Quite a long time has elapsed, Mr. Edi?
tor, since this writer contributed anything
from this section to your worthy paper,
and as it affords much pleasure to do so,
wo desire in this issue to give you a few
items in and around our town.
Lowndesville has been very quietduring
the past three woeks, having no trade of
any consequence, and no gubernatorial
meeting to prepare for iu the noar future.
The merchants closo their stores at six and
gather around to discuss Tillman and re?
form, but tho Edgefield candidate moots
much opposition in this vicinity, and wo
foar this will be the case in many districts
before the race is over.
The Lowndesvillo Democratic Club No.
2 met on last Saturday afternoon and re?
vised tho roll, adding to their membership
fifteen, which now makes tho organiza?
tion one hundred and thirty strong.
Mr. A. V. Barnes, formerly of the City
of Anderson, and who has lately beon en?
gaged in business with Baker, Mathews
& Chambers, has gone to make his homo
in Charleston. Mr. Barnes is a business
young man, and leaves many friends who
wish him all tho success possible with his
new employers, McGhan, Brown & Evans.
Prof. Paul Petty, of Spartan burg, will
close his school at this place on uoxt Fri?
day. It has long been the desire of this
poople to build up a high school for their
children, and securing the services of
Prof. Potty they have mado wonderful
progress in that direction. He is a gradu?
ate of Wofford College, and fully compe?
tent to be master of a high school. Ho
will spend the Summer months at his
home, and will enter the new school build?
ing when he returns next Fall. He has
mado many sincere friends dining his
stay among us, who would like very
much to have him mako his home in our
town.
A contribution was made by tho mer?
chants somo time ago to erect a new post
olllce, which is now in progress, opposite
T. Baker & Son's store-room. This is near
tho centre of town, and will be convenient
to all.
The neat little oollago of Mr. D. L.
Barnes is progressing, and when tho work?
men have ceased their hammers, will pre?
sent a line appearance from Main Street.
Mrs. A. L. Latimer has gone to visit her
parents at Kingstree, where she will ro
main for some time.
Mr. J. B. LoRoy has been quite sick for
somo timo, but wo gladly report a
chango for the bettor, and hopo soon to
see him once more at his post.
Miss Belle Titts, of Augusta, On., is now
with hor parents iu this place. Mr. Titts
has decided to make this his future homo,
and wo extend a cordial welcomo to such
mon to settle among us.
Many accomplished young ladies uro to
visit friends and relativos in this place du?
ring the Summer. Tho young mon are
preparing for this emergency "on time,"
and will no doubt have their share of fun.
The Young Men's Christian Association
hold their regular monthly business meet?
ing on last Tuesday evening in tho now
hall. This association was organized about
the middle of March, and within the short
time of four months have purchasod a
hall, nicely furnished with necessary ar?
ticles. Thia speaks well for the young
men of Lowndesville aud vicinity.
We desire to say in conclusion that
Lowndesville is living and growing overy
day, her dilapidated lots are being built
up with handsome residences, and new
enterprises are agitated and placed into
effect every month or two. Shade trees
have boen planted on all the streots, and
more care and pains are taken to beautify
our town than ever before. The mer?
chants have built up a trade that surprised
all who knew our town when the Savan?
nah Valley was first completed, and this
being maintained and added to, will al?
ways mako us fool proud of the most
thrifty town on tho western side of Abbe?
ville County. Ow) Eyes.
