The Bamwell People Ae Lrgest Circulation in the Count "THE SCHOLAR IN PRACTICA LIFE." The following is a full synopsis < The annual address before the literat societies of Furman University, whic was delivered by President Henry Hartzog, of Clemson College, on t1 evening of June 13th. Ladies and Gentlemcn: I adm that there is much truth in the pop lar estimate of the self-made mnan, but must protest against the narrow hin tations of the definitions usually give Ordinarily we think of the self-ma< man as one who has not had the adva tages of a college education. There a illustrious examples of that type, li] Franklin and Lincoln. Be it remer bWred, however, that there are sel made men in the college as well as o of the college. Every college graduate of worth the word is a self-made man. T1 college is but a means to an end ; it not a hopper to turn out pure me from all sorts of grain. The colleg does not keel) in stock an assortme of hearts and brains for students wh are deficient in character and capacitv An eagle setting on a goose egg canmo hatch out an eagle. Put a fool in th college incubator, warni him with th sympathetic glow of cultured profes sors, and you will hatch out a fool. A college is a place of systematize< oppoitunity. The self-made ian ou of college make marvelous use of lim ited opportuni ties. The self-made mal in college makes use of unlimited o0 portunities. Both cross the river the one swims, and the other rides i a boat. If it be true that self-made men at found in the shades of the colleg campus as well as in the offices of bus trade, the frown of the world mum rest upon the literary pedant, an( ven justly. The pedant is the literar miser. He stagnates because he r ceives and does not give out. 11 superannuated ideas are covered wit the cobwebs of antiquity. H is eneri is expended in a vain endeavor to pr vent the introduction of new fangli inventions. The pedant. is repurlat( by the public. The world wan knowledge that can walk. It has time to daily with the scholar in ti trundle bed. It wants knowledge th will bless as well as adorn hunmianity. The scholar should be built ai sbaped for practical life. 1 tio n mean that lie must sacrifice profI sional aims for industrial miterests. mean that whatever vocation, avo( tion, or vacation he should have, 1 knowledge should be applied in a pr. tical way for the betterment, of m: kind. 1116 theories should be projec into practice. Curtis has well , that the scholar is first of all a pul conscience. I echo that sentim( Principles are few but the manife; tions are infinite. it requires y, often a wide horizon of thought to the undelrlyinlg princip)les of am cou of action. This is the recognized fui tion of the scholar. The scholar ia monitor for the public comnscienm Sometimes party zeal may caumise I public to put policy before hones but in the long rim the righmt will P vail if the scholar is true to his dint andl to his right. Upon thme shoulder of every schol rests a sacredI resp~onsibility. A fi grant influence is dliffusedl from 1 diploma. That dhiplomau is an escute eon oni which is emblazoned the fa that the scholar belongs to the aristr racy of brain and character-the on aristocracy worth belonging to. It a smncere andl selfish accommodatit because each professor when slgnuing had his own reputation at, stake. young man should be content wil nothing less than a full dliploma. man who begins the voyage of Ii: with a diploma stands out like a wa ship with machinery overhauled, bun] ers full of coal, with good chart anm pilot anid with a magazine fuill of car ridges. Launchedl into practical life th gradluate has adapted himself to nie conditions. Th'le logic of circumstanic( compels him to divide his time betwee his clients atnd hooks, Sometimes the skirmish for biscuits he forgel books and~ dlegenerates into a scrambl for dirt and (dollars. it is between tm Scylla of biscuits and Charybdis < books that the practical mnan mnst sai. He comes into close touch with th p~ractical side of life, He becomes t that, extent a plici man. Let us pause for a defluition of puli iemen and p)ublie life. I (10 m mean the mere politician. Pubi safety does not demand that every eo lege graduate shall strike a trail for ti marble halls of 'Washington. Nor do I mean by puhiblic life thn: the graduates should take up one the socalled prof essions-law, medW cine, teaching, preaching. By pulblie men I mean men wvl take a lively and intelligent interest matters that concern the p~ublic goo Happy is that community that has 01 widec-awake, energetic man who is wvi ing to take the imitiative in every e terprise that tends to elevate the pc pie and improve the commnonwealthm. * Learning is an arsenal stocked wi dangerous weapons.

A gentleman in its derivative sense is one who is gentle. A gentle man scholar in practical life will exert every effort and bend every nerve to ward buildivg up a seutinient that will make the world treat animnale gently.

FOJITICA, NMKEDS AND DUTUSB. An Analysis of Patriotism and its Value -Address to the Alumni Association. The annual meeting of Furman's alumni association was hold in the Uni. versity chapel, where the alumni address was delivered by Hon. G. Duncan 13e1. t linger, of Barnwell. The meeting was resided over by Rev. W. T. Tate, of illiamston, the newly elected presi , dont of the association. In apt words i President Tato presented the annual orator, Attorney General Bellinger, who has already achieved lame in life, and is an alumnus of whom Furman proudly boasts. Mr. Bellinger is a man of abilf ity, thoughtful and sincere, and his ad. dress on this occasion dealt with Jiml p portant topics relating to every citizen of South Carolina. L In opening Mr. Bellinger alluded to the inevitable emotions of the occasion in his case; he had not boon on a visit r to his alia mater for twenty years. He spoke of the reverence ho felt for the lamented Dr. Furman, to whom he and many others owed so much for the careful, thorough training so faithfully bestowed ol those so favored as to have been pupils in this venerable institution. While college training does much for young men and gives them great advan. tage in the struggle in a critical and un friendly world, it does not perfect them. College education tits a man for intelli gent, reasonable investigation. The alumni association brings him back to the scenes of early triumphs and failures and calls for an account of his steward ship as a man and a citizen. "As one who has been since he left colleg engaged mainly in law and poli tics, I propose to give sonic observations gained since I left college. This address will be mainly applicable to South Caro lina, and is to deal with the character istics of a happy, capable and just gov ernment, materially, intellectually and morally. Material prosperity, intellec tual culture, moral strength and love of country are vital characteristics of well governed people, and any government ignoring any one of these is sowing in its own soil the seeds of revolution and ruin. - "South Carolina's material prosperity e in the past few decades, since thoe ter rible, alnost hopeless, heart-consuming d days after the adverse termination of a struggle for right and home. has been magniticent. Formerly the great rail road lines ran cast and west and our poverty-stricken State was ignored, but now Southern ports are becoming the f g'atewhys of the trade with the fertile s lands of the Southern seas. Our rail .. road and factory stock has increased in i twenty-five yeals ten-fold. No dreamer is needed to conclude that prosperity has come to our beloved State. "Wealth put in the hands of untrained intellect and unstable character insures n disaster. We are thankful that while h our State has prospered financially and 11 while her intelligence has greatly broad en'led she is also morally greater. Vir tuous public sentiment has grown to F such strength that public avowals of in t fidelity by public men and candidates are tfrowned down. "Officials are generally no better than m they are required to be by the people. h Moral character, if insisted on, will ob. Ilc tainl in all public stations. All reforms rd originate with the people. The agita Ill tioni for the unattainable sub-treasury has caused that great agent of onlight otuncut, the newspaper, to be placed in thousands of homes, formerly under the Y dark blight of isolation and ignorance, al am1l to suppIlanlt darkinss and ignorance. Th'le agitation of Utopian plrollibition h- has causedl a decidedly forcible, calm iy anid efi'ective settlement to conme about. e "Government, like anything else, to b~ e preserved, must be loved. Added to the natural love of offspring there should be love of country and devotion toe rpublia prinilesOn ~reason of 0 th stengh o .Enlan istheprevail - ing .love of law and the steady mainten e ance of order. c "We need more of this love of law in e our State. Of the two great classes of rour population, the white men obey the law because they love dleconcy and order and the negroes obey through fear neither for love of law. "Our juries are charged wvith preserv r ing the honor of the law. An acquittedl f felon has no other feeling for the law .than absolute conltempllt. "The assertion frequently hleardl that , the living negro does5 not got justice in 'ur courts is not a fact. We must (10 the negro justice. The courts are (10 ing more to obliterate crime than the t schools. 3 "The white men of our State are free - from all crimes excep~t blood-guiltiness. NVhile improving in other respects our Speople still too lightly regard human life. But we all ought to thank God1 that 110 South Carolina regiment is en gaged In company wvith thc sons of the members of the Gran~d Army of the Re p~ublic In that carnival of blood and do struction In the Philippines. [Al) - plause.] iet n "While blessed with sweetlietan having nominally a form of p)opular government we have here in Bou'hn Caro lia nearly an ariatocracy. A small proportionl of the population governs the whole. Danger from negro domi nation from any standpoint is more Im aginary than real. "Love of andl pridle in State are admi rable. Schools and churches furnish ~ edlucation and teach morality, but where is the school to teach love of law and pholisophy. ' "We have nothing to look for from a 'canaign of edtucation, which now ex-I cites only a selfish or partisan Interest. And it is vain to claim that war induces patriotism of the highest type. Prepar- ~ ig for it the invenltor and diplomatist ~ give their best efforts, and in the fight man is but a sp)lendid animal. When the end( comes one side0 is flushed and hopeful, the other broods over a dead past forgetting all else. . "This adnirable virtue (If patriotism,' love of country, is more of the hleartt than head, and this is where that 01(d saying "Tile hand that rocks the cradle rules the world," applies to our case. It is in teaching youth these high tenets that tihe women will bless our State as theyt cannot at the ballet box or on the hust- ' in gs. Let them become aroused in be s half of purity and moral courage in ofl- t y cial life and the connection between e n office and venality will cease. "We look with increasing hope to the s autocrat of public opin on, the press, Sthe liber ty of which is soeldom abused I for teaching us5 reverence for law and 'right. d"When the minister fails to demand devotioi to duty in public office and n respect for law, he fails to measure up to -the high standard expected of him. 1 o [Applause.] Thle peal of the church I Lt bell should arouse a feeling of dual grat-< .itude to God1 and country. "No one can be more impressed than 0the speaker with the political omnipo tence of the national government. At fany moment the supreme coArt of thei >f Unitedl States, into whose hlands ha2 1 0 been lacedl more power than has ever y been held in the human grasp, can prac L8 tically obliterate the State lines. But I .r know that there is still left pride of State; and let us all work to fashion and polish that jewel which the 'Pal-1 metto mtatis to pl nace in ediadem, to Drown invincible Columbia; lot us not I forget the traditions of the past, but not ] 3loso our eyes to the possibilities of the I future. As, from Alaska to Ouba; from I 'he Hawaiian to the Philippine isles, the I infurling of the Stars and Stripes at I lunsot uncovers the head of overy con- t nIissiOnod ollicor, so, in overy darken- I ng hour of trial or uncertainty, let the E palmotto and crescent' in their azure I fold bring hopo and roverenco to our i iearts, ats we pray 'God bless our boloved t state.'"

All other requirements of the dispensary law bearing on coluity uis pensors are considered part, o( > rules governing beer dispensers. Mr. Leon J. Williams offered the following with referenco to the pur chase of liquors, and it was adopted: Resolved, That commencing at the July meeting of the board and quar tLrly thereafter all houses heoa''tofore bidding for business with the board be requested to submit sealed Lids cotinuing In effect for a period of three months ; said bids binding tbo party sub~mitting same to furnish to the State boaro of control any one or any number of the articles named therein at th' p)rices named, and upon the terms (quoted, at any time durIng the said three months that the board miay order same to be shipped ; pro vidled any house submitting bid may cancel all or any part of same at any time upon giving 20 (lays' notIce : lPro vided further, that should the general spirit market decline during trae period covered by the bid the bidder may amend same comporting therewith, and further said bidders arc not ex pected to attend the mootings of the board except quarterly. Second, There shall be monthly pur' chases for the purpose of replenishing stock, or to add new brands to same.:, bids and samles being kept on tile for purposes of comparison. Third. That a copy of these resolu-I ions be sent to each house that has tbmittod a bid since January 1st,i 899. Mr. Williams also offered the fol olowing, which was adopted unani nously: Resolved, That from and after this late the county boards of control are sereby required to immediately dis ~harge any dispenser who may he ound short, close his dispensary and roceed to elect his successor, as pro ied by law : pirovided this rule does ot ap~ply to clerical errors unless of no frequent occurrence. It is fur.her equired that in case of ehortage with I vidence of fradulent intent criminal roceedings shall be instituted as r ured by law. Mr. Milos cailed attention to this ection of the dispensary law: Section 1.6. I4very dlisponser shall eel) a strict account of all liquors re ivel by him from the State commnis loner, in a book kept for that pur oso, which shall be subject, at, all ines to the Inspection oif the circuit licitor, any peace oflicer or grand uror of the county, or of any? other itizen, and such books shall show the ,mount and kind of liquor procured, he date of receipt aind amount sold, nd the amount on hand of each kind or each ct~oatlt. Such book uhall be roduced by t.0e party koeping thve amne, to be used as evidenico on trial *f any prosecuttion against him, on: otice duly served that the same will 0 requIred as evidence. A committee consisting of Moos.t illiams and R'binson was nppointed I o arrange a P;y stem) of book k.suping as ontemplated in the above sou ion. Mr. l~es stated that only one dispenser in he State at piresent was kcoping such ,set of books.1 MOBS NORTIL ANDl 80UTII. Attle Differenco in Their Character 1 -ReligIous Persecut ion In Newv Enmgand. The mob story which comes thle norning f rom the little town of Lovant, vi., goes to show that human nature s pretty much the same the worl' ver and t bat a rural town in Maine ie ust as likely to be overcome with the~ 1 nob spirit as a rural county In G3eor- t n. The Maine mob did not go to any uch lenigthms as the one which burned sam hose ; it did not do m-.rder, even, )t contented Itself with tarring and athering its victim and riding him n a rail, But the punishment was as I >xcessivo for the offense as that which ,bo Georgia mob infiloted on Hose. it ihowed as unmistakably the domnina lon of the mob spirit and indicated hat if these onitn of the Pinn Trne 1 state had been set face to face with loso's horrible crime they would pro )ablo have gono to as extromo lengths n thoir punishuient. Higgins, the nan whom they did lynch, was a Mo hodist lay preacher, who came inta he community seven yoars ago and ias lately taken u) the doctrine of anctitlcation and holinoss and has >won conducting meetings of such for ,or that the mob believed ho had Iriven somo women practically insane >n religion and that his doctrines had utorfored with their family duties. ril' preachor was hauled out of the iouso of a farmer, where he was hold ng a moting and where his converts vent on with their singing and oxhor ation until their leader came back ome hours later with his coating of ar and feathers. Iligginii was warned o icavo the town on pain of getting vorse, but says he has no intention of oing or of stopping his exhortations, o that the trouble may break out Lgain. The offensn of the mob is not n this case very serious, but th poit.t s that of the outbreak of a mob to ontrol something In the community vihel, its memoors did not like and vhich the law did not provent. The )unishment which the mob intlicted vas out of all proportion to tho of ense, if, indeed, UigginLA was not on ,roly within hIs legal rights in his ,eachings. if that saue crowd of iUi mud been inflamed by murder or as ault is there any likelihood that they vould have stopped with tar and eathurs and i rail ? Weuld not the in itinct of blood for blood have been as )owerful with thum as it was in Geor. la ? The chances are that under the imo provocation they would havo lone just what the Geor-ians did. That, iCes not excuse the Georgians, bu4 a ,onsideration of it should do away vith the idea that the Southorn people .re a race apart, given over to vio lence and brutality toward negroes merely because they are negroes.
