Miss k'adie A. Davis, daughter of our

graduated last week in English at

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."

CORRESPONDENCE
A Strong Presentation From
Dido in Favor of Woman's
Suffrage.
Bon jour, Monsieur ?SemplironU
JUS ! 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.
