His library is one (]0] of the finest in the state ahd it was t}ja his pride. One of the finest traits of r}lc his character was his interest in young wo men, many of whom he had helped to jar procure an education. At the time of 5ar his death he was a member of the f0I board of trustees of rhe Ur:versity xVa of South Carolina, an institution very <]ear to him and from which he grad- ,iVe uated in the class of 1887. n->.a Mr. Willcox was prominent in the rea South Carolina Bar association and $0 the American Bar association, in both an of which he had held office.
