the South Caroline COLLEGE, and has been en-

States for several wears past. He is teacher

standing in this State, as an accomplished scht-

with these qualities talent for maintaining

besides the School Rooms, for the residence Of
the Principal and his family, ond the accommo-
dalon OF several bOarders. With the liberal
means annually at their disposal, it is the nten-
icn of the Trustees, hereafter, to extend the
buildings, 80 that all the boarding pupils may
be placed in the family of the Principal, and
under his immediate charge. The Academy
is located in pleasant and retired part OF the
town, and in the vicinity of respectable fami-
lies, where boarding can be had on reasonable
terms
With the view to prevent extrav1gance, a
plain neat uniform dress for the pupils will be
prescribed, of which due notice will hereafter
be- given And it will be a standing rule, that
no pupil will be permitted to attend dancing or
social parties, either public or private.
canton is one OF the healthest places in the
South during the whole year; and for morality,
intelligence and refinement, its citizens may
well compare with those OF any interior town
in the State.
II is the aim of the Principal and Trustees
to build up aud permanently establish an instl-
tuition Of the highest order, in which all the
advantages of thorough education to be had
any where else can be offered; thus saving to
our people the expense and sacrifice Of feeling
incurred in sending their children abroad. Sit
uated as our Academy is, in the midst of
wealthy and intelligent population, at healthy
point, connected with all the principal places
Of the State by stage aud uail facilities, and
conducted by competent teachers, we see no
good reason why our most snngune hopes
should not be realized. We call on our fellow
citizens OF this and The neghboring counties to
give our a cademy fair trial, and il found
deserving, TO sustain an institution here at
home, where they can watch over the health,
comfort and progress of their daughters during
their course of education-pledging ourselves
that no efforts shall be spared to render it wor-
thy of patronage.
