Gen E. W. Moise delivered a lecure on
the life and works of Henry Timrod hefore
the tenth grade at ?' ? Graded School Thurs?
day. This das* has recently completed
the course of study ir. American Literature
and the lecture by Gen. Moise on the work
of South Carolina's most gifted poet came as
a cap-stone to the courses of study in Eog- j
I i sh and American literature that have been I
pursued under the direction cf Supt. Ed- !
muuds. Geo. Moise has made a thorough j
study of Timrod's works, and is, besides, j
intimately acquainted with his lite and bis
tory, so that his lecture was instructive from
a critical and literary standpoint and in?
teresting by reason of the personal
and biographical rature of much of
what was said. Gen. Moise quoted
frequently from Timrod's poems to illustrate
and emphasize the criticisms advanced, and
when i:e had concluded the lecture, that was
all too brief for the subject, he left with his !
hearers rt fuller appreciation of the sweetness, '
beauty and enduring qualities of the poetn !
penned by this South Carolina genius, whose ?
Hie was cut short, after an unequal struggle j
with the hardships of life tu the d;irk \
day? immediately subsequent to the clo:--?- cf
the war, before his powers had attained full ?
fruition.
