whose powers meyer rejoice to run tht
race of life, are those who look outward
from within perpetualIy, as though the
universe circled for them alone. Tt
such, wrapped up In self, whose soul.
needs must be saved though all others
perish, willing to take but unwilling te

all such his life gives rebuke. From
him we learn a truth that the great
world around is fast grasping; that he
| who gives most gets most !; he is filled
| with good things and crowned with
glory and honor imperishable, who
scattereth all Of good that he has, that
his soul Is best saved whose soul is self
reckoned as naught If he can but save

phere OF spirit after groveling IN agony
as some of us do, afraid to live and yet
more afraid to die, is to move from the
air of the dungeon into the ecstasy of
the mountain top. Life lived in his
way has infinite width to it; it ls its

Whether avowedly or not matters
little, it is his spirit that thrills the
closing years of our century. Against
the fatalism and materiallsm of Ma
hommed, against the selfshness and
pessimism of the Hindoo anxious to
escape away into Inconsistencies,
against the slavish worship of the past
by the Confuclans, we see virle, ag-
gressive, hopeful force at work in every
nation that has fallen under the inf1u-
ence of Jesus. Hide-bound Judaism
never emanclpated the human mind, as
his influence has done. The growing

Yet some of us are cropping onward as
if in night-black passage. We glance
bewildered at the events, the dangers,
the pleasures of life, and then pass away
forever without understanding our rela-

Prof. E. B. Craighead, President Of
Clemson College, was born on his
father farm, near Fulton, Mo-, March
3D., 1861. He received his early edu
cation at the country schools, and ct
the age of fifteen he entered West
Minister College, the Presbyterian Col
lege of Missouri, where he remained
for two years, taking the highest
rank. Subsequently he taught a
country school, and managed his
father farm for one year. He then
entered Central College, whence he
graduated with distinction, winning
the essay medal and the medal for
best general scholarship.
After teaching for one year in the
Nashville Collegiate Institute, he en-.
tered Vanderbilt University, where he
spent two years in postgraduate
work. During his last year at Nash
vile he was also Professor Of Mathe-
MATES in the Nashville College for
Women. He represented Vanderbilt
in the State oratorical contest and
Won the $50 medal for the best essay.
Resisning his position in the Nash
vile College, he spent two years in
foreign travel and study. Returning
to America in 1888, he was for one
year president of the Pryor Institute
at Jasper: Tennessee, and for three
years was Professor of Greek in Wof-
ford College, Spartanburg.
It was while Mr.. Craighead was at
Wofford that the trustees Of Clemson
began to look around for suitable
nan for their president. There we're
score of candidates. Mr.. Craighead
was not then in this list, but scme
prominent educators IN Tennessee,
where he was we'll known, suggested
his name to the trustees, and after
careful consideration of the man, he
was unanimously elected president OF
Clemson. This in itself was high
complimcnt to Mr.. Craighead's abili-
ty.
No other man, perhaps, in South
Carolina or the entire South, could
have taken hold Of Clemson and car-
led it through the first years Of It's
existence with such great success as
President Craighead. The work
which he has done is indicative Of the
man, and in after years Clemson Col
lege will stand a monument to his
haidiwork. He is a man Of much er-
ceutiva ability, Of keen foresight, an
sound judment. His work at Glen
son has given more than perfect satiG-
faction both to the trustees and the
body Of students.

Professor Charles n Furman was

ment. In May, 1861, he went to Viz
ginia, where he served for the first
half Of the war. For a short time he
was on the seaeoast Of South Carolina
in an artillery company, but the latter
part Of the war he served in the West
ern army.
Prof Furman was in ranks for two
years, but by his gallant work and
bravery was promoted to Lieutenant"
The last half Of the var he was made
a captain, serving in that capacity un.'
til the war closed. He was captain in.
Gist's Brigade of the West. In the
East he served under kershaw as
Brigade Commander, and in Long
street corps.
At the close CT the wa- Prof. Fur

two years He soon gave this up,
however. and began teaching iii this
State and afterwards in Maryland for
one year. Hcthen went to Kentucky,
and for eight years taught in the col
lege at Russellsville. He resigned
here and came back to South Carolina
and began the practice d law He
settled in Greenville and soon built
up large and lucrati"e practice.
PROF. Furman was a teacher by pre-

ural for him to give up the law and
follow the profession Cor which he
was best suited.
In 1891 he was elected Professor Of
the chair of English at Clemson Col
lege, and he began TO close up his
business preparatory for his work,
which began in 1893, at the opening
Of the college. He has served faith
fully at his post Of duty, and by his
hard work with the students OF that
institution he has been able to lend
material assistance to them in perfect
ing themselves for their life work:
Professor Furn,an is soldier,
scholar and gentleman in whom the
State Of South Carolina and Clemson
College should feel just pride: He
is man of high intellectual charac-
ter, Of deep study and research, and
withal eminently fitted Cor the posi-
ton which he now holds. His family
connections are the best in the State,
with line of ancestors who did much
to help his: country out both in times
of war and times of peace. 1t has
been truthfully said of Prof. FurInan
that he was one Of the bravest soldiers
that eyer entered the Confederate ar
my, and no matter how hard or dan
gerous duty he was called on to per
form, he always answered with that
promptness so characteristic Of the
man.
Prof. Furman has family at Clem-

 South Norwalk, Sept. 6.-Suit was entered yesterday afternoon against Harry Brewer by Mortimer J. Diven on a charge of alternating the affections of the latter's wife. Damages are laid at 10000.

Cunningham, wife of ex-Mayor Cunningham of South Nor walk, recently inherited between $75,- 000 and S100,009 each from the estate of their uncle, the late Theodore Chiches- ter, a New York broker.
