subject which attracted attention and,
declaring his purpose to accept no
office, he had come to be recognized by
the farmers as the leader of the move
ment for the establishment OF the new
college.
AT its outset, the object of this move
ment was to secure from the legisla-
ture the adjustment of the agricul-
tural and mechanical department of
the South Carolina college, at Colum-
bia, which had come to be regarded
az rich mans school," and the crea-
tion of a separate and distinct institu-
tion for farmers' sons. Gradually,
however, the movement broadened
its scope, made the agricultural col
lege minor consideration, and, with
Tillman at it's head, secured control
OF the entire State government in all
its branches.

In Mechanic hall are the carpenter
and machine shops, forge and foundry,
where the students will be taught
mechanics by being made to do me-
chanical work. In connection with
this Is the electric light plant, and
near by is the college steam laundry.
The grounds are surrounded with
the neat brick residences of the pro-
fessors and officers Of the faculty.
The course of instruction Is intended
to furnish a practical education to
young men who expect to lead practical
lives. The students will work two
hours day, either in the laboratory or
in the fields, and they will be given
practical instruction In dairy work,
cheese-making, the care of stock, the
cultivation of plants and flowers as
we'll as in the culture of the standard
farm crops.
A part of the equipment of the in
stitution Is herd of Devon, Holstein
and Jersey, cattle, O. barn with stalls
for 100 COWS and six silos for ensilage,
stable to accommodate sixty horses
and an infirmary witRa staff of surgeons
and nurses. About one hundred acres
of the college land will be used as an
experimental farm.
The faculty of the college includes O
staff of twenty professors and eight
assistants, headed by President E. B.
Craighead, late of Wofford College,
S. c., q graduate of the universities of
Leipsic, Paris and Italy.
The Clemson-C College will take the

fund from the national government, in
additions to direct annual appropria-
tion from the State.
The college will be conducted under
military discipline and the students
will wear gray uniforms. There is
room for 600 boys, and already 460 ap-
plications have been received. It Is
expected that by next Thursday, the
opening day, over 400 gray uniformed
young men will swarm about the
grounds made sacred to South Carroll

THE OLD CALHOUN HOUSE.
Imposing as the modern college
buildings are, the point towards which
the visitor at Fort Hill turns with most
interest is the stately old mansion on
the hill, where Calhoun lived and
worked. The house must have been
impressive In its day and 1t still wears
the air OF some ancient ancestral hall.
1t Is a frame building with tall white
washed brick columns supporting the
roofs OF two spacious verandas, the
one facing northward, the other
to the east. The walls are white,
relieved by blinds of green. Inside,
everything Is practically as it was in
and furnished with heavy, cumber-
some, old fashioned furniture, which,
with the low ceiling and narrow door,
ways and passages, give the interior
not over cheerful aspect.
"A long, narrow apartment opening
on the east front of the house is the
art gallery, containing rare collec-
tion of pictures and brick-a-brac.
Here are preserved chair given to

was languishing at the time of Mr..
Clemson's death, but his bequest of the
Calhoun estate, including eight hun
dred acres OF land and personal pro-
perty to the value of $4,000, after all
other legacies had been paid, gave the
movement fresh impetus. The accep-
tance of the bequest became the lead
ing issue in the politics of the State,
and engendered a long and bitter fight.
The outcome was victory for the
farmers movement. In 1889, the leg
islature accepted the gift of Mr.. Clem,
son and the work of establishing an in
dustrial college in compliance with
the terms of his will was soon there
after entered on. In 1890, Captain
Iillman, who had come into publicity
through his agitation for the college,
was elected Governor and has since

son-in-law, Thomas G. Clemson, to
make the dream q reality by bequeath-
ing for that purpose the estate he had
Inherited from the distinguished Caro-
linian. The trust was accepted by the
State, and the splendid new college
now about to open, built at cost of
$500, 200, and with accommodations for
six hundred young men, is the result.
Strange to say, though the institution
is indirectly memorial to Calhoun, it
bears the name of another, not O.
Southerner by birth or training, as Mr..
Clemson was born in Pennsylvania and
educated abroad.
THE FOUNDER OF THE COLLEGE.
After having been graduated at the
French School of Mines and Mining,
Mr.. Clemson returned to this country,
met Miss Anna Calhoun, eldest daugh-
ter of John G. Calhoun, in Washingto
and soon after was married to her. He
served as charge d'affaires at Brussels
under President Van Buren,, and was
afterwards at the head Of the national
agricultural bureau.
In the civil war Mr.. Clemson sided
with the South, and at it's close he took
up his residence at Fort Hill with his
family and the widow of the dead
statesman, his father-in-law. Mrs.
Calhoun died not long thereafter, and
in 1876 Mrs. Clemson died. From that
date Mr.. Clemson lived alone in the
old house.
The establishment of an agricultural
college was one of Mr.. Clemson's
hobbies. He had become imbued with
Mr.. Calhoun's project and during his
life made one or two Intellectual
attempts to interest the public in his
plans, at one time issuing an address
on the subject. But up to within a
few years of his death his efforts had
been fruitless. Nevertheless he made
will, leaving his fortune to the State
on condition that it establish at Fort
Hill the institution on founding which
his heart had been set.
A CRISIS IN STATE AFFAIRS.
In 1888 Mr.. Clemson died at Fort
Hill, and the provisions of his will
were made public for the first time.
They precipitated crisis in the States
affairs.
Several years previous, an agitation
had been begun among the farmers
for the establishment of an agricultural
college, and Captain Benjamin R. Till.
