Extracts from Christian Neighbor
The Clemson Gift.
May 16, 1888, Il

Much is being said and printed
about the Clemson estate and the agri-
cultural college as designed by Mr..
Clemson in his will. Whether on the
whole or in the end more than few
of the people of South Carolina will
be profited by the bequest remains to
be seen. The net value of the estate
after back taxes and other necessary
and, perchance, unnecessary, expenses
are paid what is left may fall consider
ably below 100000.
We have, during many years Of OBJ
servation, failed to find an instance
where bequest to q church-station
or circuit-has turned out to be bless
ing to the church. On the contrary
such gift has dwarfed the liberality of
the church, indisposing the people to
enterprise and aggression and to con-
tentment with feeble spirituality.
An older man than ourself, and of
more extended observation said, few
years since, that he had never known
a bequest or annuity to church to be
other than "a curse"
While the analogy between civil
and an ecclesiastical organization differs
in some respects, yet the resemblance
in the particular referred to is such
that the tend or drift of both is so
much in the same direction that there
is great room for wisdom so to manage
a bequest or gift as to do with it as the
apostle enjoined on Christians con-
cerning temporal things-to "use this
world as not abusing it." TO receive
and use, such gift as the Clemson will
provides avithout hatrt to the beneficial
ries demands the highest wisdom and
strictest integrity of the managers.

Death of Miss sallie Calhoun.

Reasons prevented, and we had no locals In
our paper last week. This accounts for our
omission to note the death Of Miss Sallie Cal
houn daughter Of Mr. W. n. Calhoun OF this
county.
Last winter, amid those pleasant scenes
and happy surroundings, which lend to
young wornanhood its sweetest charms, she
was stricken down. She was attacked by
disease in the very citadel of life, and she
calmly and peacefully went to rest.
She was young and beautiful, possessing
grace OF manner and warmth or heart
which made her host OF loving friends
Departing from amongst us in early woman
hood, her death caused gloom to rest upon
many hearts.
Those OF us who knew her best sincere
" mourn the loss Of one whose happy
disposition and whose cheerful temper al
ways impaired pleasure to every one whose
privilege 1t was to enjoy her presence, her
society, or her friendship.
Beauty OF person, grace OF mind. and Ten
der loving heart pre-emnentIy fitted her 10
wear crown Of glory. and TO adorn the choir
which surrounds the throne and sings
eternal praises to Almighty God.
While we may console ourselves win the
thought that her spirit is with the blest, yet
we mourn because she has entered on that
great sleep which men call death.
