He received his earliest training in a private school kept by his mother, whose in¿uence, both intellectual and spiritual, he regards as perhaps the strongest factor in all that is best in his life's achievement. Having completed his preliminary studies in the academy at Eatonton, he entered the University of Georgia, where he took the full course, and he was graduated from that institution in 1873. Like many another ambitious youth of limited means, he supported himself in part during the years of his college course by his own efforts in teaching.Having decided that it was his duty and his privilege to take up the work of the ministry, Mr. Adams entered the Presbyterian seminary at Columbia, South Carolina, where he remained for two years, but was not graduated. Licensed to preach by the presbytery of South Carolina, Mr. Adams entered upon the active duties of his calling in 1876. Two years later he married Miss Eudocia M. Hammond.
