DEATH OF PROF. DAVIS
Famous South Carolina Educate
Passes to His Reward.
The death last week of Prof. F
Means Davis, of the South Carolin
College, was a severe loss to th
State of South Carolina. He was a
educator of the highest rank; and
gentleman of the old Southern schoo
The loss will he felt keenly by all fb
people of South Carolina.
A USEFUL LIFE.
Robert Means Davis was born i
Fairfield district, April 9, 1849. bein
the eldest son of Isabella Harper an
Henry C. Davis, whose grandfathe
came from Maryland to Laurens di:
trict. .He received his early educi
tion from private tutors, and aftei
wards attended the noted school cor
ducted by Mr. Octavius T. Porche
at Willington in Abbeville district.
His preparation for college wa
had at. the Mt. Zion Collegiate Inst
tute, then under the charge of Mr. C
A. Woodward, a teacher of rare abil
tv and eminent success. Enteriu
the University of South Carolina, th
immediate successor of the old co
lege, in 1807 he graduated therefror
with the degree of bachelor of arts
After two years spent in teaching i
California, he returned to South Can
Hwo mi a m-ontprln cr thp TTniverwif
I pursued tlve law course and took th
degree of bachelor of law.
After a short time spent In teacl
lag Mr. Davis became editor of th
News and Herald, the Fairfield cout
ty paper. In 1876 he served on th
editorial staff of the News and Coin
ier. but relinquished that connectio:
to do service as secretary of th
State Democratic executive comniii
tee, charged with the campaig
which resulted in. the electfmi c
Wade Hampton as governor.
In January. 1877, Mr. Davis r<
sumed the editorship of the Winn;
boro News and Herald, and continue
in that work until his election to
professorship in the South Carolin
College. Early in 1877, the Moun
Zion Institute losing its principal b
death, Mr. Davis was placed in charg
of that institution, and there contir
tied until he took his chair in the co
lege faculty.
On his suggestion, heartily secont
ed by t-he community, the Mount Zio:
school was converted into a grade
school supported by special tax. th
first, of its kind outside the city ?j
Charleston.
For several years he was a men
ber of the county board of examiner
for Fairfield county, and served o
the State board of education fror
1882 to 1890. He was for severa
terms president of the South Carolin
Teachers' Association, and taught i
the first State teachers' institutt
held in Spartanburg in 1880.
In 1882 Prof. Davis was elected t
the chair of history and politica
economy in the South Carolina Co
lege, and was in the active work o
that position when hi* last illnes
came on.
Prof. Davis was married Januar;
12. 1877, to Miss Sallie LeContf
daughter of Prof. Joseph LeConte, fo
some years a professor in the Soutl
Carolina College, later in the Univei
sity of California, and a man of na
tional reputation in the departmen
of science. Of this union there hav

The Liquor Drummers.
Columbia Snfteial.?There were 3
liquor drummers in tne city las
week, that being the occasion of th<
purchase of whisker for the nex

this matter: "The said directors o
the dispensary shall not purehasi
any liquor of any person, firm or cor
poration. who shall solicit any orders
either by drummers, agents, sample:
or otherwise except as herein before
provided."
Ln accordance with the terms o
the law, the board has adopted th<
following resolutions: "Resolved
That the clerk of this board is here
by instructed to notify all distiller:
and liquor dealers competing foi
business with the dispensary, that th(
hoard will positively refuse to con
