JUDGE FAIRCLOTH'S NOBLE
EXAMPLE.

The late Chief Justice Faircloth, only
a few weeks before he died, gave one
thousand dollars to the Baptist Female
University. He had previously given lib
orally to that useful institution. He also
left legacies to the Baptist Orphanage at
Thomasville, Wake Forest College, and
the Goldsboro Missionary Baptist church
of which he had long been member.
The exact sum of these legacies will not
be known until certain property is sold,
but they constitute good portion Of his
estate.
1t is gratifying to know that the late
Chief Justice has set noble example in
making liberal requests to educational
and charitable institutions 1t was once
chusetts were ashamed to die without re-
membering Harvard in their will. The
rich treasures of that institution are
explained by this generous feeling. The
poverty of the treasures of Southern in
stitutions is in part explained by the fact
that it has been the exception rather than
the rule for men of wealth to give to in
stitutions that are educating the youth
and caring for the fatherless. OF late
years, the spirit said to prevail in Massa-
chusetts seems to have obtained a foot
hold among us. The example of the late
Chief Justice, which will cause many to
hold him in grateful remembrance and will
perpetuate his devotion to education and
his care of the orphan, ought to be fol-
lowed by every man of wealth when he
comes to write his will.
