Rhodes who spoke of him as one of the most prominent Tennes- scans, one of our foremost southern ora tors and statesmen, and fearless jour nalist and pubicist.
 Senator Carmack introduced his lecture by stating that he would address prin- cipally, though not altogether, the young CT men of the audience, especially those,' said the speaker, who have just taken upon themselves the responsibil ties of life The success and happiness of the later life are governed by the pre- cepts of the earlier days, and for that reason they are vastly important.

 Story About Knowing How.
 ''The great thing in the world today is Gtp1nlU fn fa lxnOxy how 1 once heard a story of old darlky who had been hired to skin calf. and com pleting the job, he reported for his re- ward for the work. When asked what he thought it was worth he said sl was the right price, The owner of the calf thought this was d bit exorbitant and told the negro that he did not think his time was worth more than 50 cents. The old darxy agreed with him. but stated that he charged the other 50 cents for knowing how. And so this old tale ap- plies in a great many cases.
 'rhe work of acquiring knowledge and learning how to apply it will go on al- ways, and when we think of the vast amount before us it seems useless to try to acquire the knowledge. The great thing Is for you to add one new thing to your knowledge each day. to let no day pass without acquiring some new les son.
 'I wish to impress upon you that the strongest mind cannot make you happy The greatest of all things Is character. Young men, do not aspire to a great rep utation without character. l do not dis count good reputation which you bear among men, but the important matter is what you think of yourself. Mans char acter is what God Almighty knows him to be, and you cannot long counterfeit 1t. Do not look to public opinion, for you can't always tell what it is. The best plan is to form a good opinion of yourself and then have manhood enough to uphold and sustain that opinion. The world, your country. your state, your community needs men who can and will stand.
