TEETI JL (Teething Fo ~ Costs only 25 cents Or mall 2."? rents to C. J, Graded School Closes. The closing exercises of tho Union Graded Schools took place Friday morning iu the opera house at 10:80 a. m. The children were formed in lino at the graded school building and inarched up Main street to the Opera House. It was a great company of children. They marched by twos, and there were over 400 in line. Business was suspended during the march and the sidewalk on the opposite side was lined with business men whilo balconies and every place of vantage was filled by tho ladies, watching the inarch of this great body of children. Tho oxercises opened with the song "4.11 hail tho power of Jesus name." This was followed by prayer by Rev. F. II. Schuler. Prof. H. L. Scaife then introduced the speaker of the occasion I)r. Lee Davis Lodgo, President of the Llmestono College, of GafTney, S. C. In his remarks, Mr. Soaifo referred to tho progress the school had made, but regretted tha fact that tho patrons of tho school scpmed loth to take time to.call at the building and see what was being done during the session. Ho suggested that there bo appointed a board of lady visitors. Dr. Lodgo advanced, and in a few beautiful sentences, so fitting to the occasion, and uttered in a tone of voice that showed the born orator, he soon had the attention of even tho smallest children riveted upon his words which flowed so heantifull v and smoothly. lie pictured the sunlit sea, in calm and peaceful repose, not a billow rolled over Its poaceful bosom, the little boat on the water's edge, gently rocked by the ripple of the tiny waves, not a cloud to mar the beautiful blue canopy overhead, everything around calm, beautiful and serene. No evidence in sight of the storms to be encountered upon the bosom of the fathomless deep. This little boat, lie compared to the children wo were watching. The ocean he compared to the life in which the child was entering, with all beautiful and bright before it as the beautiful sunlit sea. Such, said he, is the sight upon which wo are gazing this morning. These little boats are pushing oat into the ocean of life with their sails set to sea. Oh how anxious are we watching, day by day, the progress made by these frail little oraft. Will they be able to successfully encounter the terrible storms of adversity and temptation that we know so well they will encounter upon their journey. Such a scene can but inspire every heart. Speaking of the closing of tho school year he said that those who go forth from these institutions of learning naturally form into two claases. The one to go out into life to pursue his studies. The book of nature is spread out before the student, it is his privilege to profit thereby, it is a book they need not cease to study all their lives. This is somotimes called the education of the self-made man. He said that every successful man was a self-made man. Self-reliance and self-dependence is the condition of success in every avocation of life. No appreciable degree of success can ever be attained either in education or business without these prerequisites. He urged the children to strive to attain the ideals their teachers had held up to them. He earnestly entreated them never, under any circumstances, no matter what the difficulties to be surmounted, to surrender their ideals. The harder the attainment tho harder the work, the harder the work the greater the developments of the powers; and the fruits of success will amply reward the greatest effort to attain. Ho said that some people sneered at the theorist, he encouraged it. The test of a theory is that it will work. Theory is necessary to progress, the wheels of which would, without the help of the theorist become paralized. It is the conception of the greatest achievements. It is the conception of liborty that fires the patriots heart. It is duo to this that a wise body of men took hold of Union, and developed it to its present proud place, a wonder, in the matter of progress and rapid development, to the eyes of the public at large. We are now beginning to practice the ideal of living. He urged patience and perssverance, illustrating by the artist in his studio, who patieutly works or the sculptor who chisels, with fa.th in the Haul results. Faith is the main-spring to urge us on to achievement ot' purpose. Achievement is annihilated without faith, doubting benumbs the energy, aud direful are the consequences. We must have faith in God as well as in our works, lie compared the eclipse, to the opako body of doubt that thrusts itself between God and man and shuts out the light of faith. Our life without faith in God is a desert without an oasis. We should keep in constant communion with God. Take tiie plants and shut them away from the sunlight aud its life will wane, the leaves will droop and sicken, they will loose their fresh green color. Walk by the sea shore and you will recognize the baud of God in the roaring and tern pestuous waves, walk by the silvry river or the babbling brook and see the hauil of God. We see Ilis hand in all nature, then why should our faith waver for a moment? Try and 11 nd out 3*our part la the great drama of life and then perform it with abiding faith in llim who gave you yuur being, that lie will give you strength sutttcisnt for the task.

We should also have faith in our fellow man. Never, oh, never let. any one persuade you to loo'o your confidence in your fellow m m It is true t hat the. e are bad men and there are bad women, but "I believe there is more wickedness caused by weakne s thin by a corruptness of heart. L -t us take a charitable and sympathetic view. Let us make allowance. When you pity you exhibit the very spirit of Jesus Christ." We cannot live unto ourselves I- is impossible lo shut ourselves out from the world and make a success in life, we are dependent upon each other. There is no independent man in the world except, the hermit and the savage. Tin old Greek philosopher, Atistotle was right when he 3aid man is a social animal. we are bound together by tin ties of humanity. It is a chain of many links that bind the whole of Christendom,, there are the family ties tint bind, then the social ties tint bind from family to community, from communities to States, from States to the United States, then the intercourse with foreign nation*, we are nothing by ourself. You cannot live either socially, religiously or politically apart. It is directly contrary to the teaching of Chriit. Our religion itself is a social religion. Everything in the world is tending to the one tiual great federation of mankind, it is yet far a \ay in the distance, but the time is drawing nearer. Let us have no pessimists, he could not sec liow a christian could hold that the world was getting worse, when everything in the word of progress proved to the contrary. lie said that while Optimi ra is the song of angels l'esremism is lire dirge of demons lie begged the hearers not to rush headlong into this horrible mistake of becoming a pessimist, but have a steadfast faitli in God and his piomises, and confidence in your l'ellowman, and that a'l tilings are ruled by the Omuipotant hand of God; tint lie will richly reward the child of faitli. Also have conlidence and faith n yourselves. a clear head, a strong arm, au 1 the iron will, is what enables you to meet and succefsfullv combat with the winds of adversity, and causes you to stand like a rock of adamant, while the battle rages, or the billows roll, an', the artillery of the enemy hurls forth its rage. Enables you lo stand like a man no mutter what the adverse circumstances. Truth is the veiy basis of society. He said that the man whoss word was not as good as his bond, the man who was unreliable, and whose word could not be believed-, the man with two face3 was the man who would prove a failure. He could never make a success, could never play his part in social life. lie refered to It. E. Lee's standard of true honor and glory "a duty well done. ' At the mention of the name of that grand old hero, he was greeted with a storm of applause, and he paid a glowing tribute to tue memory, held so dear in the hearts of the people of the South land, of the grand old hero. lie criticised the poet, Longfellow's leterenco to the "foot prints upon the sands of time, that the weary shipwrecked sailor, seeing might follow." He favored the use of the word "lighthouse," out in the stormy waves, that our lights should so shine, as to obviate the catastrophe of the shipwrecked sailor, and instead of pointing this wrecked sailor in the way. He should be saved from shipwreck by the warning beacon of the lighthouse. Our love for our fellow man should incite us to acts of charity and deeds of kindness toward our erring brother to help him shun the breakers of temptation, lie prayeth best who lovcth best. Every man is surrounded by golden oppoitunities if he would embrace them. Every man is entitled to the gem-eucircled crown, if lie would but Jiit it to his brow. Yours is ti e task to help him. Toe greater your knowledge the greater your responsibility. Let your seaich for knowledge be of uuceasing growth. 1 le compared the lack of education in ibis age to a child deaf, dumb and blind, with every joy and pleasure of nature shut out from its miud. Knowledge turns on the light to the illiterate mind us ihs recovery of the senses opens the llood gates of the joys and beauties of nature to t?"e child. Our life is a struggle, it is one of the neocossary essentials to success, it is only another name of spirit. There is nothing iu the world gamed without a straggle. Aud we are all the more appreciative on account of the struggle. Struggle to attain your ideal, and never give lip. Keuieinber the .iueage from which you sprang. He then paid a glowing tribute to the noble heroes of Union, among whom he mentioned John lavage as the man who tired the iirst shot at the iKittle of Cowpeus, said that Union had furnished one of the grandest bands of patriots that ever marched upon this planet, we have veterans here, sons of those noble patriots. 13c true to the blood or such noble sires. It is an honor to have such blood in your veins. lie closed with some pretty lines "we pluck the roses from our youthful brow, til weave a garland etc." * * * * We have gone hurriedly over some of the points of tiis speech, aud while we realize that we cannot do justice to i1, we give a syuopsis gathered from our notes. rue speech was one of Hie best we. have heard in the oi*ra house and the Doctor's graceful and easy style aud ready How of language made it a great pleasure to listen to him. At the close of the address the song ' we'll take our stand for the youth of our land" was sung, after which Prof. Jeffries, after a very appropriate speech delivered the certificates to the class of 1900. Miss Initio Bailey, Mr. Walter Smith aud Mr. George Perrin. He was followed by Itev. Mr. Guignard, who made a talk to the class and delivered the Munro inedal to the one who stood highest in the graduating class, Mr. Walter Smith. "Oh, say, can you see by the dawn's early light" was tljen sang by the school and the exercises closed with the benediction by Itev. L. M. Hice. THE?
