After 1854 the history of Wofford college and this great man were in separably linked.

He was the author of a text-book on astronomy. The honors that came to him came unsought, as he was al ways reticent, modest and unassum ing. He was posiibly the best posted man in South Carolina on the history of the State, her people and her great men. He was elected a member of the first general confernce of the Meth odist church, South, to which laymen were admitted, and was elected to each succeeding one. He was also elected to several ecumenical con ferences. He was a member of the Secession convention and a representative in THE TUESDAY MEETING.
