Interesting Commencement Ex ercises and a Large Crowd in Attendance. The first commencement exercises at the Agricultural and Mechanical College took place today in accord ance with the programme: The exercises were opened with prayer by Rev J J Hill, D D, of the Baptist Tabernacle church, at 10 o'clock, which was followed by essays delivered by A G Smith, of Johnston county, and S E Asbury, of Burke county. Addresses were then deliv ered by Hon H E Fries, Hon A S Merrimon, Capt S A Ashe an 1 Jose phus Daniels. The essay delivered by A G Smith was good. The essay of S E Asbury was most excellent in all respects. We a 1 i 1 . i 1 A 1 1. can conscientiously state inai mis young man is destined to make one of our most successful farmers and most useful citizens. Hon G W Sanderlin sent regrets that he was unable to attend. The address of Mr Fries was fine He alluded to the great advantage of agricultural training; that the col lese did not belong to the Board of Trustees, nor to any denomination but to the people of North Carolina He urge 1 the young men to stay in North Carolina, and said the State should do all in her power to keep them here. Capt S A Ashe said that the study for a young man was man that some others had added, woman also but he would not attempt to tell young men how to study woman, for every young man must do that for himself, anl that he would in some way man age to do so, but a young man should carefully study himself. Josephus Daniels, Esq, said: That there was never greater need for edu caed farmers than now. He spoke of the great and grand futnre of the A & M College; of the grand career of the voung men the college should send forth to do battle for life; how the farmers of the State were waiting for the young men to come and join their ranks and by their superior ad vantages help them on the road to success, hie saia tne uoys were tne college and the college would be judged by them; that their lives may be such at home that the people may feel that it is their college, The speech of Judge Merrimon was one of the finest we have ever heard that distinguished gentleman deliver, It abounded in most excellent advice and most admirable and happy allu sions. He said he was exceedingly gratified with what he had seen and heard today; that man's primeval con dition was labor; that no one had a rierht to be a drone; that drones should not be allowed by society; man's education only ended with life. Teach the boys from the beginning that labor is one of the highest duties of all men. He said he believed he had worked harder in his profession than any farmer in the county. He spoke of the excellent position labor should occupy; that labor should be educated in every calling; that this college was not.nor is not intended to teach men not to work, but to teach them how to work successfully. At the conclusion or the exercises, Dr C D Smith.a member of the Board from Macon county, offered the fol lowing resolution which was unani mously adopted by the audience: 1 Resolved that Agricultural and I Mechanical education must ana win I constitute the chief point of the fu- tare glory and strength of North Car- I i. There were many of the distin- I ..,. . 3 -1X1 D .lnl nwAn4 I guisneu citizens ui ivaicjgu yicocui, 1 as well as some from a distance. We I note (others tnan tnose mentionea; I Col John Robinson, W G Upchurch, 1 Eaa. W O Stronach, k G Latta and 1 several others. I Thus ended a most important 00- I casion, which we hope will inorease in interest each succeeding year.until the college shall stand pre-eminent among the Institutions of the South. ! A larger attendence is anticipated for next session than for the past year. The new building for the Me-' chanical department will be com pie ted. In a word the outlook for the Institution is most excellent. j A New Bridge. Cant the city and railroad author ities come together on an agreement for a new bridge on Hillsboro street? The present structure is, at best, a very unsightly one and not at all in keeping with the surroundings. We must think that an iron bridge would in the end, prove a matter of econ- ( omy. and certainly it would look bet-. ter. As it is, almost constant repairs are needed to keep the bridge safe. There is now a great deal of travel of vehicles on thit street, and during fair times this is very largely increas- ed. Let us have a neat and pretty iron structure that will do cedit to the city. , Important Meetings. Regular semi annual meetings of the State Board of Agriculture and Trustees of the Agricultural and Me chanical ColU ge took place yesterday. The following members of the Agri cultural Board were present: Col W F Green, chairman, W R Williams, Dr W R Capehart, W E Stevens, J S Marrow, A Leazer, Burwell Blanton and Dr C D Smith. Accounts for the past six months were audited. The usual appropriations were allowed. Mr T K Bruner, secretary of the Board was granted two months leave of absence to attend the London Ex hibition of minerals and take charge of the North Carolina exhibit. The Commissioner of Agriculture was au thorized to call to his aid, members of the board in holding institutes. In the evening the Trustees of the Agricultural and Mechanical College, met, but transacted no very impor tant 1: usiness. Exemption Committee. The tax exemption committee ap pointed 'by the General Assembly, met in the State Library yesterday, pursuant to adjournment. All the members were present except Mr Carter. The matter of the Southern Express Company was taken up and discussed but nothing definite was arrived at. The . North Carolina Railroad was examined into, Col P B Ruffin, secre tary and treasurer being present. The charter or. tne company pro vides that if a dividend is declared exceeding six per cent, the company shall be liable to tax, and the object of the examination was to ascertain whether the company could any year have declared a dividend larger than six per cent. It is undersood that a proposition was made by tne Wilmington ana Weldon Railroad, to compromise with the State. The matter was still un der discussion when the board ad journed yesterday afternoon.

An investigation of their mammoth stock will convince you that everything is just as repre sented and you won't find them "just out" of bargains, but plenty of every style. A Cannon 900 Feet "Long. If we had a cannon 900 feet long and carrying 200.000 pounds of pow der at a charge to fire off three or four times on the 4th of July, it would be a big thing and draw lots of people just to see and hear it go off. It would be a big thing without doubt, but as fas as we are concerned we would prefer being at the North pole when it went off. Still, if the people would like it let's have it. If the community decide to have this cannon we shall not be here, but if not we shall fire some good sized pop crackers in the way of dress goods, clothing, slippers, white goods,lawns, challies, &c, &c, ourselves. We shall ba very busy between now and the 4th loading up these crackers and the public may expect a brilliant exhibl tion at our store on that day. Don't understand that we will sell goods any cheaper on that day than we are selling them now for we could not do that unless we gave them away, but we shall offer some bargains then that we haven't got now.
