ENDORSED BY TRUSTEES.

Upon receipt oil the notification
that Prof. Bailey would leave Will
liston, where he has been so &C.
ceptably and successfully conduct
ing the South Carolina Co-Educa-
tional Institute fer several years
past, the trustees met and passed
the following highly eulogistic
resolutions:
Inasmuch as the time has come
when Prof. T. n. K. Bailey sees
fit to sever his connection with us
as president of the Sounth Carolina
Coeducatlonal institute; and
whereas we have most abundant
and substantial evidence of the
great benefit he has been to US as
trustees, in bringing our school up
to high point of excellence, and
tie incalculable blessing he has
been to our community through
bis indomitable courage, untirine
labors and pious living, shown in
his life, in society, in the church
and in the school, therefore, be it
resolved:
First, That in his departure
from our community we lose one
amongst the best and most useful
Of men; one, though, whose worth
will be appreciated wherever he
may 60.
Second, That with sincere graft
tude we shall always remember
his labors of love and interest.
Third, That with genuine regret
we deplore our loss,

THE SOUTH CAROLINA CO.
EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTE.

The following account of the
closing exercises of the South
Carolina Co-Educational Institute,
recently held at Williston, S. c.,
we clip from the Baptist Courier
of last week. AS this Institl ;e
comes to Edgefeld this fall our
people will be glad to see and to
know in what esteem the Institute
and Prof. Bailey are held at Will
liston, where he has been for a
number of years:
"The last and most successful
session of the South Carolina Co.
Educational Institute was brought
to a close last week with it's best
commencement exercises. l should
have said the last in Williston.
Prof. Bailey will open next
session ir Edgefeld.
At the commencement there
were eleven full graduates: Miss
Sue Williams, Colleton Co.; Miss
E. Williams, Colleton Co.; e. A.
Marvin, Colleton Co. j. E. Webb,
Barnwell Co.; Furman Tisdale,
Sumter Co.; S. B. w. Courtney,
Williamsbrg Co.; E. S. Harley,
Barnwell Co.; Miss Gahriella
Miller, Bamberg Co.; T. E. Bruce,
Barnwell Co.; S. D. Cain, Sumter
Co.; w. G.. Cain, Sumter Co. The
following are partial graduates:
Miss Rosa Aver, Bamberg Co.;
Miss Lucia Matthews, Barnwell
Co.; Miss Mary A. Weathersbee,
Barnwell Co.; ]. E. Kennedy,
Barnwell Co. All these, except
one, read essays at their gradua-
ton, which were papers of decided
merit.
1t would be difficult to bring
together for speech-making, etc.,
better talent than we enjoyed
during the commencement. Rev.
w. E. Thayer preached the COM
mencement sermon, Dr.. A. P. Mon
tague, Col. Robt. Aldrich, and
Hon. Geo. D. Tillman delivered
addresses. Further comment ls
unnecessary on this subject.
Such a closing, though, as we
had! Prof. Bailey, in awell chosen
address, announced that the South
Carolina Co-Educational Institute
would no longer do its work in
Williston, but would be removed
to Edgefeld c. H., where he has
been offered very superior advant-
ages in buildings both for
dormitories and recitation halls.
At the close of this saddenin
speech, Rev. ]. D. Higgins, on the
part of the old students, the board
of trustees and patrons, presented
Professor Bailey with a gold
watch and chain. With sor-
rowing hearts and weep
ing eyes, Oh the part of a great
many, the congregation broke up,
and the members of the Alumna
Associations. with invited guests,
met in a banquet. Here there
were many farewell speeches made
and many hearts found relief to
their grief in weeping. How could
we help it? We did not try to help
it; we didn't wish to help it.
Our faces are all to the future,
all hoping for still better things,
with honest determination to do
better. What is the past worth
unless we do?
In his farewell talk, Prof. Bailey
announed that the trustees had
secured Prof. J. E. Sanders, of
Batesburg, as princial of the
Williston School for another year.
In conclusion, we believe we are
to be congratulated in having
Prof. Sanders to take charge of
,our school, and we know that
Edgefeld is to be congratulated
because Prof. F. N. K. Bailey and
the South Carolina G Co-Educational
Institute are to live and work with

then we have no right to use the prayer
at all, for prayer without meaning it is
blasphemy. These are few of the un-
lovely things that we all meet with in
life at some time or another. OF course
the lovely things which we should strive
to de are their exact opposites. What
we most need in life is sweetness, and
this can only be found in him who is
thoroughly imbued with the spirit of
Christ, which will manifest itself in
l. Pleasant speech at all times.
2. Charitable Judgements of our neigh
bors.
8. Forgetfulness of self.
4. Finding good in everyone.
5. Singleness Of mind.
6. A forgiving spirit.
II these things be in you and abound
it shall be that We shall be neither barren
nor unfruitful.
In conclusion: 1t is related In old-time
story, that certain abbot much desired
to purchase piece of ground adjacent to
the monastery, but the owner refuaed to
aeAif poe aAtS1 eome peEsuHsiou asFeeu tu
rent the property, II the abbot wsuld be
content with one crop; to this the abbot
consented and the transfer was made,
when the tenant Immediately sowed the
ground with acorns, a crop which is said
to last for 800 years. You young men
are sowing for much longer harvest.
You are sowing acorns, .either Christian
acorns or the DEVILS acorns. If the for
mer, the crop will be Christian gentle
men. II the latter-well, don't like to
consider that alternative, but whichever
it be, the sowing is not for time only. but
for eternity. Take heed then, what and
how We SOW, for as is your sowing, SO
shall your harvest be.

able to bear, which robs US of our peace
of mind, and wastes our strength, and
units US for our present duties indeed,
and weakens us against the cares OF the
morrow also. And more than that, even,
the anxious care which worries and weak
ems US, may be the means of frettipg and
misleading others into the same fault.
There is kind of care which is good !;
and there is kind of care that ia evil.
There is kind of care which is cheer
full and trusting. 1t is what we call
faithfuiness. 1t is that sort of care
which does its duty with gladness and
leaves the event with God. But this
anxious care of which the Lord warns
US is not good. 1t is evil. 1t is not
good for those who have it, and it is not
good for any one else. 1t is not the care
of healthy soul. IL is morbid and
weak. If we have such care as that it is
not because we are conscientious, and

Fearful and unbelieving."

manners makyth manu." said good
old Bishop Wykeham some 800 years ago
thus furnishing in his quaint speech for
all time, at least partial answer to the
question what Ia 3 gentleman?' But
more than one has tried his hand at an
answer to that question, and we will
consider a few Of them before trying to
find one for ourselves. Lord Chester
field, who holds his place in history as
"a fine old English gentleman" wrote
some letters to his son wherein he &C
cepts Bishop Wyckham's definition and
then proceeds to define good manners
somewhat as follows: he says, "They
are the result of much good sense, some
good nature, and little self denial for
the sake of others, with view to obtain
the same indulgence" Thus, according
to Chesterfield, "Good manners amount
to sort of refined selflshness; we get
nothing for nothing; it is sort of social
give and take; you help me and I'll help
you: In short they are kind of univer
sal lubricant for oiling the wheels of So

least possible friction. Thus one would
be most worthy of the title gentleman"
who should be most able to get the most
possible out of his fellows by the least
expenditure of that which costs him
nothing, viz, little surface pollteness.
An American tourist once put the ques-
ton, "What is a geutleman?" to an Eng
lishman, who replied, Zone who doesn't
work for his living !" "well, that ia odd"
responded the Yankee, 1--WE call such peo-
pie tramps In my country"
Again, some one has said, that the
first question about man who desires to
be recognized in Boston society IL,
"What does he know?" in New York,
"What ia ne WORTH" in Philadelphia,
"Who was his grandfather So, ii
this statement be true, Boston gentle
man must possess brains, q New York
gentleman wealth, and Philadelphia
gentleman ancestry. But the title is
used more loosely still in our own time
and country, for according to our present
uae the gentleman may represent US In

children, pillow my garden, take care OF
