An Edgefield Gradute.
Miss tIdie A. Davis, daughter Of our
fellow townsman John B. Davis, Esq,
graduated last week in English at
Miss Kelly's school in Charleston. The
News and Courier says Of Miss Davis's
essay on "Character and Determined
Energy"
.'It is true that knowledge is power"
she said, "but in a much higher and u
truer sense is character power" She
held up as an example the isnominy
and shame which was the position OF
Napoleon, Aaron Burr, and Benedict
Arnold for the lack OF goodness and
true character to control their fatal
ambition. Energy, she said, must be
combined with character to bring out
and apply it in its best sense, "He
who loseth wealth loseth much; he
who loseth friend loseth more, but
he who loseth his energy lOseth all"
