Th3 Late William Fl. MoCaw,

There is all old adagc, "Whom the
Gods love, die young" This was
exemp'iiied in the un;in'cly death of
William Il. McCaw, who in the full
pride of manhood, with: ldurcls thick.
ly clustering around his brow, was
called upon TO yield Ills bri sht life
into the hands shat gave it.
The subject Of this sketch was no
ordinary man. Among the many
gifted sous of C.rolina whose names
are interviewer into her history, there
is none who in his youth gave bright
er promise of brilliant and useful
career, and none whose loss will he
moro deeply felt.
Mr.. hlcCaw was born in AbbeTills
County. Both at school and in col.
lege he evinced Il brilliaucy Of talent
that won the admiration of his teach.
ersj while his genial temperament
and rare social qualities cndeared
him to hia fellows. Aftcrgradla,ion
he entered tho profession Of law. hut
soon abandoned it for the field Of iour-
nalism. Hero his chief services wero
rendered and hero his laurels were
won. he entered ardeh,l3 into the
struggle in behalf Of his people, and
nobly did he. battle fer their rights
In the disordered state of the couh-
try, honesty and truth wero laid low,
and. fraud and crime stalkel boldly
in high places. But our friend pos.
se:sed the talent { \ nerve to carry
on almost singlv handed the d.,,
perate conflict. E,chewirg all that
VAS mean and low, his incisivc pen
out like Damascepe blade. pcnetrat-
ing every disguise apd laying bare
corruption in all its hideousness.-
Before the onslaughts of this young
WARRIOR tho phalanx of crime fell
back dish'ayed aud appalled,. The
bulwarks that had been reared for
protection were ru,hlessly swept
away: 70 save themselves they Of
fered him bribes Of svory nature, in
the most alluring forms. But al.
though no felt the panss of poverty,
his pure nature indignantly spurned
HON all. 81 will accept nothing
from those I am appointed to watch"
