On this anniversary of the passing to his crowning of one, of whom one of the most precious memories of my, life is the thought that he was my friend, I would, were it possible, bearl to beautiful Rosemont, where he sleeps, a garland of flow-ers to lay upon his grave. Since this can not be, my heart turns to the dear South land, and those whom he loved so well, and is prompted to pay this humble tribute to his memory. Osborne L. Schumiert was most re spected and esteemed by those who knew him best. With his life and haracter no "distance lent enchant ment," but intimacy-the clear view disclosed the qualities and the charms that distance hid. From the first hour of our acquain tance till the last admiration, first iwak-ened, blossomed into esteem, and the beautiful 'bloom of highest esteem ripened in the fruitage of sincere af fection. Our personal relations were lose and intimate, and it is a joy of ny lie to know thaL I had some de ree of his confidence. In the hos pitality of his home, we read together. We talked of books and men. We alked of the past and of the present mid of the future. I learned to know iim as a man and as my friend. Added to his large and comprehen ive knowledge of men and affairs, he possessed a mind remarkably well bal Lnced, calm and just in its jildgments. Ie was a 'man of attractive and win iing qualities, and attached his friends :o him as with bands of iron. He was ilways true to them with a loyalty :hat knew no thought of desertion orlI )etrayal, and they trusted him without luestion, without hesitation and with )ut doubt.' His rugged honesty, his %ntire candor, his,freedom from hypo risy, cant or pretence, his unfaltering ourage and a child-like trust were inderlying traits. of a noble charac er. He was sincere, generous-heart d, broad-minded and level headed. As I think of him, I am reminded of he tender words of the Quaker poet, Vhittier:1 He has done the work of a true man, Crown hi-m, honor hi'm, love him; Veep over him tears of woman, Stoop manliest brows above him. No duty could o'ertake him, No need his will outrun; )r ever lips could ask him His hands the work had done." A devoted husband and father, he oved his home, "where loved wife in1 eace and pleasure reigned; where * :hildren dwelt, happy and gladdenedI ,y a father's presence and a parent's vie; -where nature smiled and happi less prevailed."1 The tear-filled eyes and hearts so ull, now mute in anguish round the earthtone of that Southern home, tre far more eloquent than choicest ords of friend, however true, to testi y his worth. Their .......... cause of sorrow 4ust not be measured by his worth,1 for then t hath no end." But best of all, he was a Christian :entleman, who served his God hum ly, with no display or hollow show, mt with a. contrition inspired by "a' Leavenly spirit of all grace vouchsaf-I1 d to man through the sacrifice of the ion of God, which stands ready to nter the hearts of all men who serve11 iod with a willing mind and perf.e'ct Leart.' We speak what we do feel, fot what we ought to say." Good an gels guard thee, ;leep, sleep in peace, Lnd wake in joy." W. L. S. UTnIversi,ty Alumni.

Co )ur esteemed local cotemporar.,, The: rald and News, appears to regard it F0 presumptuous that the Observer 1 )uld "presume" that the ne-wly-ap- I nted county superintendent of edu- I ion will resign his position as a I mber of the asylum commission be W2 e, assuming the duties of superin dent. After his chasing his oppon over the county in the campaign ee years ago with a great big vol .e of the Revised Statutes and mak- t his fight for the senate chiefly on _2 two-office issue, and after his hav said so much on the subject-in his vspaper at various times, the Ob ver felt justified in its presumption. Vhat the Observer's "legal" opinion y be on the subject is .immaterial ,e; but it is true that it agreed with -- iator Johnstone and Senator Till- FR n and Rev. C. D. Mann and Jno. G. .1 hards, Jr., and many other men of - re or less intelligence, that holding FO position of trustee of Clemson col- I did not disqualify one from hold an office. Col.
