Loving Friend'* Aflecllolinte Trlb- b< ule to Her. d Bradley, S. C , Sept. 2fitb, 1S93. v Miss Eddie Cox, the tnlrd daughter of Mr. . ad Mrs. Edwin Cux of Due West, S. C., died i Greenville, S. C., August '2'Jth, 1893; born ? eb. 17th, 1674, aged 2 0 years 6 mouths and ! days. Eddie was educated in the Due West Fetale College. Endowed with much energy, le took charge of a large school soon after . laving col lege, and consequently worked be jv ond ber strength. Her health having failed le went to Greenville S. C., thinking she ' light derive benetlt from the waters of Chick ' prlng*. While in the city she was taken . lddenly 111 from typhoid fever In it* most ' lallgnant form. After four weeks of iutense suffering, in a loment, in the twinkling of an eje, she was J* anslated to a heavenly inheritance. She b alked with God and was not, for God took " er. Although called upou to endure so jany days of suffering, she was never heard h > murmur, but always seemed perfeciiy regned. She was truly a shining light among " s, and possessed an lufluence as geutie as ' le fulling of the snow-flake on the meadow. *. By her death the whole current of our exectatlons is suddenly arrested, and we lose urselves in chaotic thought about the place ;ft vacant and the possibilities of usefulness bruptly closed forever. It seems strange that the fairest flower has een taken? !i "But'tis enough that Christ knows all, a Aod Eddie is now with him." In 1SS5 dear little consln was received into a be Little River Baptist church. Some time t< efore her death she united with the Due :f Vest Baptist church, as It was nearer her oraa. her church relations were cbKractersed by her usual energy In other relations of t( je. "She was burled in the Little River cem- a tery. The large concourse of friends who gathered t( line grave u> pay meir last iriDuie 01 re- l pect, was a convincing proof 01 the apprecl- a lion entertained lor tier. Eddie leuves a large number of sorrowing U eiatives. Dear loved ones,bear in mind tbal c Tne patb of sorrow, aud that patb alone, H ,eads to tlie land where sorrow 1b unknown." Bear your cross, as Rhe core hers and you tl rill likewise receive a crown of rejoicing. v Let us so live that It may be said of uh, as j. re say of her?

Stuart, Va., Sept. 24, ISO' Idltor Press and Banner : In your issue of Sept JOth, under thee on "Different Kinds ol Education," I not lie following reniHiks; "Now, the point, we wish to make is tli hat the Slate ouuht to treat all of her bt like. The Citadel boys are given the b lace, and the places are awarded upoi rong basis and upon an unjust prlncii iz: To the best educated and bestequlpp hereas the state should help the weaker a ot the stronger of Its sons. * * * Oth Ise stated the Citadel Is aristocratic In :>nducL * * * "Another matter connected with theClta< the fact that a boy l.s only partially e< ited when he leaves the Institution. lie 1 jrhaps made great progress In the stud> lathematiCH aud military science, but cksmucbof having received the irood i ' *' u?..? o I. >unu euui'unou nuiui ucm (jii-jjuico o u ir the peaceful pursuits of life." Now. Mr. Editor, liow is 11 if the Sti lould treat nil of Its boys u.ike that you 8 nniedlately afterwards that It should hi le weaker and not the stronger of Its so i that treating them alike? But I contend that in the matter of Cltai spointments the bods of the State are tre 1 alike or at least those of them who are i >le to secure an education for ihemselv he State provides Instruction In the pub :hools for all. The competitive examii on for the Citadel is based on the bruucl ;iight in those public schools. Every b hose parents have not the means of ei tting him may be examined by the Roart ley will comply with the law which isrif. i barring all who are able to acquire an ec ition otherwise. Then of course the b< lan wins. Who would have It otherwls , is not a right of the few, but of the mar it there cau be but lew wluneis. It is tr irough life. We have many aspirants for lice?one man wlos?docs any one cry i abolition ol theoHice because ail cant )t It? Does any one say that the right ?ld ofllce has been abridged? Is the prln le unjust ? The Indigent student feels that he has a fi mnceand that Is all the Anglo-Saxon asl ben let merit win. It is only another a ' the survival of the tltiest. and you canr irn backward the Immutable lawsolGi place In the Citadel is a possibility will: le reach of any white boy in the State. Now, as to the Citadel being aristocratic s conn net. I know a boy, Mr. Editor, w imc years ago was between the plow ht les. The only aristocracy that he coi aim was an honest bard working ancest e did not have enough money to go U *iimmar school and colleges with free t on were beyond his reach because he coi it pay his board. Ills parents could do ore for him. There was a vacancy at t lladel and a former teacbt-r prepared him ; le examination free of charge. He won t lace and graduated four years later. Cle in or the South Carolina College would ha ;en an impossiuiiuy 10 umi. xuio jbuuc any cases. Is there any aristocracy ml? Most of the Citadel aristocrats w teir titles in the war with crab grassanc >tton field was the battle ground. There ily one aristocracy recognized there a mt is the God given aristocracy of brain a xTi hood. No*', in one sensp the Citadel education srtlal, and so It Is In every other sch? Uls Is au age of specialists. But 1 am r repared to Hdnill that a graduate ol' the 01 ?1 "lacks much of having received the go II round education which best prepares jy for the peaceful pursuit* of Hie. I p inie that this thrust refers to the tact It atln aud Greek are not taught at theCi ?1. The inathematlcs, Mr. Editor, Is one ar m >st practical studies,and allow me -sute you that It Is of more value *n t sticeiul pursuits of life than all the love reece and Rome. Those languages are employed, I and ,and, as a mind training?a mental exerc much as dumb bells are used for them es. and for the man who has time a teans this Is good. But the majority of t sople have neither time nor means. Th lust get this exercise in connection w miethlng of practical use. To do this nnhaslze mathematics. It is as the plou bich the laborer uses. It strengthens, 1 I the same time earns. He Is more practl ho can construct a railway than be who c ace a Greek root, and he who can plai ridge than be who can conjugate a La erb. Far more than mathematics, however tught at the Citadel. The course in Kngla especially strong. Which is more pra< il, to write good English or good Latin ? The sons ot the Citadel In the peaceful n radical waiksof life show that they are w lucated aud occupy places fully abreast w ie graduates of other schools. Look at p ally educated Ellison Capers. John Thom .unh .S. Thompson, Johnson Hagoou, Asbi oward, or John B.Patrick. If partial edu on gives us such men as these, tor beavi ike let us have more of It. I do not say that the Citadel Is better til Lher schools, but I do say that in the char irof ber instruction and in fitting Iter s< >r the real battle of life, she is "not one w thlnd the cbiefest" of thetn all. Let the olu institution stand. Doubly h zed by lire she has twice arisen rejuvena om her ashes. Her sous rise up and call I leased, bid her on to long years ol future t ilness, and curse the man who raises and against her.

For (he first time ?n- realized my own selfishness and saw i igt contrasted with the goodness of hear a which could see only goodness in otli er. ers.

This is sensible. Po say that a person died from "heart ailure" is to say no more than that the >erson died because his or her heart topped beating, and to assign "asthena" as the cause of death is simply to itflrra that the person died by reason if inability to live. # l ?
