U1 G- IN EVERY DAY. ERS TO THE AOC rSINESS WITH US * i State, we deplore the (as it seems to us) untimely death of the above mentioned eminent divine, and we too desire to pay a slight tribute of his memory. Since he was honored with the presidency of Ersklne College, he gradually rose In the estimation and affections of the people till his lame bad gone far beyond the confines of bis native place, Jounty and State, and be was honored wbereaver known. In the temperance cause, he was one of Its most pronounced champions In education he was one of her strongest supporters, one of aer most zealous promoters, and In and for Christianity, be worked with a zeal, an unfiring constancy, that showed him to be a man after Ood's own heart, doing bis will and working righteousness. Thus we see him In ibe three above mentioned essentials, to an individual's or a nation's prosperity and happiness In the foremost rank, ever cheerfully replying to calls for aid. His dally life along these great lines, showed blm to be a mighty factor for good, nod that hlB sole aim In lire was to benefit his fellow men. He Is gone, 3ut his good works will follow him. His place cannot be filled. "Servant ofGod, well done. A uy KiUUUUO TTUJ mi v O poob , Tbe battle's fought, tbe race Is won And tbou art crowned at last." Troupe. EDUCATOR PAR EXCELLENCE. Tribute to the Lnte President Grler, of Ertthlue College. Washington Post. In speaking of the sudden death at Due West, 8. C.. Sunday, of Rev. William Moftat Srler, the president of Ersklne College. Mr. J. Altheus Johnson, of tbe Washington bar, who graduated from Ersslne College In 1879, said yesterday: "Dr. Grler, personally modest and unassuming, was accorded by common consent the foremost place among tbe Associate Reformed Presbyterians. For twenty-seven years he has presided over their college, and seen at tbe same time a teacher In tbelr theological seminary, admittedly a specimen }{tbe finest type of the cultivated, Christian gentleman. Standing for so long a time at the very springs of their educational life, he h,ou ovomuH nn 1nfln?nf>a i'lv<>n to no other man Id the denomination. "His clear, analytical mind and happy faculty of expression?his diction not inferior to Macaulay's?made him an Ideal instructor In the classroom. His fine personal presence, earnest manner, and ringing voice gave to the young men their beau-Ideal 3f a public speaker when beard ?n a college rostrum, a commencement platform, or In the pulpit. "Only a few weeks ago a South Carolina jdltor said of him: 'We know of no more :ourtly gentleman than Dr. W. M. Grler, the president of Ersklne College. In the everyJay airalrsol life. In the classroom and elsewhere, the Instincts and bearing of the tcholarly gentleman are always present. His example for his whole lifetime has been in inspiration to those who have come within the radius of bis Influence.' "Dr. Grler was a native of South Carolina. Reserved as a private In the civil war. having enlisted In a volunteer company when a poung man fresh from college." The theme of one of the last of his bacca laureate addresses?addresses wuicu were ilways gems of the first water, showing the scholar and the orator as well as the friend and the loving Instructor?was, "The work r>f the High Private," the one who obeys, who ares the bullet, who assaults the ramparts, svho pushes the bayonet, who achieves the f lctory. The ears and hearts of men all over lheSouth to-day thrill with emotions stirred by the voice of Dr. Grier on Commencement lays. Stingy 1'olIliciaiiM. Greenville Mountaineer. The Abbeville 1'ress and B.inner has raised Lhe point, of whlcb it is not certain, that Congress gives to Its members 3120 a year to pay their subscriptions to newspapers in their rejpective districts. It Is very doubtful wheth sr such appropriation has been made, but public money is spent for less worthy objects, ind yet a Congressman who Is toostlngy or too mean to take all the newspapers In his (listrict is hardly a representative man. This might also apply to raombers of tbe Legislature and all public ofilclals. It. M. Haddon & Co. are preparing for fall business. They have special bargains for next SO days.

A brot her of tbe patient spent several days In New Orleans a sbort time ago, and was taken sick Immediately after return* Ing home. Tbe board of health has established perfect Isolation. A striking coincidence In connection with the case is tbe fact that the first appearance of yellow fever In Jackson last fall was exactly one year ago to-day, and almost to the same hour. While tbe announcement prodnoed some excitement on the streets, there has been very little exodus. It Is expected tbat many other Mississippi towns will quarantine against Jackson during tbe nightJackson, Miss., September 10.?One case of yellow lever In Jackson was officially report en to the mate ooara or aeaita mis aueruwu, The patient la D.
