The 'j News and Courier says of Miss Davis's essay on "Character and Determined - Energy :" "It is true that knowledge is power," she said, "but in a much higher and a truer sense is character power." She held up as an example the ignominy I and shame which was the position ot' j Napoleon, Aaron Burr, and Benedict , Arnold for tue lack of goodness and ! true character to control their fatal ambition. Energy, she said, must be combined w iib character to bring out and apply it in its best sense, "He who loset h wealth loseth much; lie who loseth a friend loseth more, but he who loseth his enerby loseth all."

Comment rous 'parley cous/ Pardon me if I fail to thorough ly diseect your jeremiade. One reason is, that it comes in a busy Lime; the garden is to hoe, water melons to te replanted, potatoes :o be set out, besides sewing, cook ug, milking, tending the baby &c, fcc., and another is thal repetition vould be tiresome and boreing to :he readers. I tried to express myself intelli gibly and have nothing to retract. May 1 vieit your home, if tho op portunity oilers? 1 would love to meet with such people "as you read ibout," where mau occupies man's jphere, and woman reigns supreme in hers, as prescribed by custom, md where dwell sentiments huu ireds ol* years old. This world is growing, Sem ?dironicus, yes growing rapidly, iud in the history cf the times suppose you turn ovor a new leaf, md .Hear with charitable heart the rea sons ol' an honest judgment, For thou also bast erred, and knowest not when thou art most right, ,Vor whether tomorrow's wisdom may not prove thee simple to-day : Perchance thou sharply reprovest what thou wilt be hereafter." Your assertion of "neglected homes by screeching high-fliers," is an unjust accusation, and ex poses an ignorance excusable only in youth, and lack of knowledge of woman. You would Hud those bornes to your surprise models of neatness and comfort. I do not take you for au infidel ; were I to pass judgment I would take you for a lineal descendant of Eliphaz the Tenamite, or Bildad the Shu hito. Your sympathy for those suffering from ravages made by the liquor fiend partakes of the nature of the above mentioned sympathizers of Job. Would you go into the jungles of Africa and put a lace muzzle over the mouths of its most dan gerous animale? Or use moral sua sion against the bite of its most venomous sarpent? Do you understand the laws of hygiene and heredity. If so, then you can understand how the inno cent victim is often the keenest sufferer. The Bible teaches that "the iniquities of the father are visited upon the children unto the third and fourth generation." Now what are you men doing? You hold the reins of government in your mighty hands. The nura ex pended in the United States for alcoholic drinks, tobacco, opium, tea, and coffee amounts to nearly $1,600,000,000 more thau $30 an nually for each man, woman, and child in the country. As fifteen dollars a year supplies my family of eight with tea and coffee, and yet you say only 20 per cent, of the men are intemperate! Make your own calculation and see how much they consume. I would suppose that they occasionally bathed in a small vat full to get rid of it. Washington statistics show that $900,000,000 are annually spent; in this country for malt and spiritu ous liquor and only 20 per cent, drink! In Chicago the estimate is one baker for every four hundred and seventy families, one grocer for every eighty-nine families and one liquor saloon for every thirty five families and yet only 20 per cent drink ! ! ! Later Col. Switzer of the National Bureau of Statis tics said that the annual consump tion cf strong drink in the United States averaged an annual cost of $47 to eveiy niau, woman and child. Now what can be said ot' the intellectual equilibrium of 80 per cent of a nation who permits that amount spent upon an abso lutely unproductive luxurj ? It has been estimated that, f .ir every missionary who goes to Africa. 70,000 gallons of liquor are sent to that country. You kneel before your Father and pray all right, you stand in his Sanctuary and tungali right, but you go to thc polls and vote for men who license instead of prohibit. Do you or any suiie man daro tell mo that Gods commands as quoted by you mean submission to such government a& that? The highway robber de mands your money or your life, the license system demands your money and your life. You wilfully or ignorantly mis understand my allusion of wo mans ignorance of business. The meaning 1 wished to convey wai that if trained from childhood with business qualification, she would be better fitted to protect herself when Ihrown upon her own resourses. However, that is al ready being done. I reiterate wo man has an inborn right to vote. The law prescribes-the time for the exercise of that right. "The eaglet is the king of birds even in its callow state, but until its wings are Hedged and its eyes can bear the light of the sun. the nest is the place for it." If as you claim men are creatures of head, and women of heart, to my mind the union of the two ie just what is needful to equalize affairs. You would not impugn womans courage but you call it moonshine. If tested I don't think you would find it very healthly moonshine. My allurion to Tennyson's in consistency was no calummy on that author, but meant to show the quick changes of humanity un der the exigence of the hour or need of the minute. My favorite books are poetical worKS and Ten nyson occupies a place of promi nence. Augusta Wilsou is a good and pure writer. I have read with pleasure all of her works, I have listened by the hour, to a relative of mine and acquaintance of hers, telling of many pleasant things about her h..me 'ife. She has made money and she enjoys it. No chil dren gather around her fireside, consequently there are no tension ed chords, connecting her heart with humanity, to vibrate with a a pang at every boys dissipation, or giris false step. "Ile was some mothers boy." "She was some mothers child." Let me tell you of a noble wo man in my opinion, Mrs. Berilda G. Wallace of Indiana from whom 1 Gen. Lee Wallace drew the portrait, of the mother in "Ben Hur," ann she was his step mother. She raised to noble) manhood the above author with two other sons of her husbanJ ; in the course of years six j children were added to these, and uo mother was mor? devoted. Her J husband was twice Lieutenant- ' Governor then Governor and (hen served in Congress. Everything j he wrote was submitted to her for j criticism or approval. She read Jaw with her step-sons. The end ( of twenty-one years of married life found her with a home but no j income. Then came the battle of ? life to support and educate the | children. Just as ease aud com- ] petence came a dying daughter left | her four little children and she lived over again the anxious years , of conscientious motherhood. This j woman answers the argument that "Politics are too dirty for women , to mingle in, in these words: That is no argument against wo man suffrage, it is an argument for it. Men have always had con- f trol of politics; if they have al- < lowed them to become dirty it is ( time the women tame to the res cue and helped clean things up, just the work in which they are j adepts. If I thought that politics , were necessarily dirty, the unholy scramble for power into which ' they too often degenerate, I would ( never wish my boys lo become vo ters. If not fit for my girh*, poli- ( tics are not fit for my boys;" I eau but indorse them. ' DTOO. Bud Tells ol Old Wof ford's Com mencement and Greenwood's Ambitious Projects. DEAR ADVERTITER: Last Sun day and the two following days we spent under the shadow of Wof ford's classic walls. This ber fortieth commencement was in very many repects the grandest in the history of this grand old insti tution. Spartanburgj the metrop olis of the Piedmont region, was in her glory. Every home in the city threw wide her doors and with true Spartan hospitality welcomed the return of Alumni, old students and friends of the college all the State. The sermon on Sunday by Dr. Ti1 lett of Vanderbilt was su blime. Dr. Carlisle's address at night was characteristic of the man, lofty, strong, edifying. Mr. Bryan's speech of Monday was deep and broad. The debate at night between the Calhoun and Preston Literary societies was in every respect up with those of for mer years. Tuesday thirly-four noble young men received their well earned diplomas amid the plaudits of friends and lelatives. This was the largest class the col lege ever graduated. The degree of D. D. was conferred on Rev. Jno. C. Kilgoof Trinity. In this Wof ford honored herself as well as one of her deserving sons. What shall we say of the Alum ni banquet of Tuesday night? No king and his lords ever sat down to a more varied and magnificent feast. Every class since 1854 was represented in this great reunion. Here were preachers, lawyers, mer chants, teachers, bankers, politi- , ciane, farmers, men of every pro- ' fession and walk in life, some ( whose heads are covered with the snows of winter, middle aged men ! in the prime of life, beardless youths just entering upon the stage of action, but in the bosoms of all beat hearts fired with lo^e for their dear Alma mater, and merrily passed the time till the wee small hours of morning bade them steul away lest the liing of day come unou thom in t heir joyous revels. By a decision of the Trus tees the Fitting School will be transferred to the Alumni Hall for one vear at least. Nico cottages will bo erected on the college cam pus to accommodate young men who have heretofore lodged at Alumni Hall. Wednesday a. m., wo boarded the train for Greenwood. 0:i board we meet, a Mr. Briggs, an Edge field youth a graduate of the South Carolina College, just returning from Reidsville where hf-* has clos ed a most successful year "teach ing the young idea how to shoot" etc., We roach Greenwood in the midst of the closiug exercises of her Graded School, our friend Prof. C, Pt. Calhoun, who by thc; way took his A. M., at Wo?'ord Tues day, would have us remain over with him. To-day, Friday, Prof. Means Da vis made the Literary address. His subject, "Man's mastery over Na ture" was treated in a masterly manner. The people of hustling Green wood are now deeply interested in the building of the already survoy 3d .railroad from Knoxville via Anderson, Greenwood, Batesburg to Charleston. The "new rail road" is the all pervading and all pre vailing topic. Now is Saluda's time. This road if built and there seams to be no doubt about that will mu through the very heart of the Saluda country. A construction Co., has just been formed and they contemplate begining work at au early day. So mote it be. While here, among many other distin guished Edgefield men we shake the hand of that noble mau of God, Rev. A. 1>. Watson. We are struck with the number of men from our county located in Greenwood. Verily I believe its an open secret that some of the best men of the place are natives of Edgefield. So struck is Green wood on our couuty aud our men that she is not satisfied with the number that have immigrated here but wants a big slice of our terri tory cut off to her. But then who can blame her? , . Greetingly, Bun. PARKS VILLE HIGH SCHOOL. Commencement Exercises Will Take Place June 21s?-Con cert at Night. Parksville has just cause to be proud of her school.
