Mrs. Andrew Calhoun, the lady recently referred to in the governor's message to the gen eral assembly, is Miss Floride Isabel la Lee, Mr. Clemson's granddaughter.) Mr. Clemson's will was bitterly con tented In the state courts and finally went to the U. S. supreme court where tts validity was upheld. The conten tion made by Mr. Gideon Lee, acting for his daughter, was that the Fort Hill place had never been legally pos sessed by Mr. Clemson, and therefore could not be given by him to the state. This claim was urged in spite of the fact that ibo estate had been willed him by his wife "absolutely fee sim ple" in 1875, and that he had been in continuous and undisputed possession from that time until bis death in 1888. In spite of her contest the $15,000 was paid to MIBS Lee. Having outlined the history of the property upon which thc college ls built, let us return to consider the patt which South Carolina through its gen eral assembly had in accepting the de vise and bequest of Mr. Clemson, mont of "The Clemson Agricultural which acceptance led to thu establlsh College," belonging io the state, in stead of the "Clemson Scientific School or College." belonging to the seven life trustees, named in Mr. Clemson's will. In November 1880. the general as sembly passed acts authorizing the ac ceptance of the bequest. Three sec tions are quoted from the act "Section 1300. The Honorable Tilomas O. Clemson, having departed thin life on the' Sixth day of April; A. D., 1888 leaving of force his last will and testament * * * Wherein he de vised and beqnested the Fort Hill plantation, as well as al his other property, both real and personal, ex cept certain legacies In the said will mentioned and provided for, all in trust, to convey to the State of South Carolina when the said state shall ac "ODt the same for.the purpose af es tablishing and maintaining an Agri cultural and' Mechanical College upon 'terms and conditions of .said will, the ' tate . of South Carolina. hereby ex pressly declares that. it accepts the deviso and bequest of Thomas G. .

Special attention IB dlrtected to the words in the first section "the state of . South Carolina hereby expressly declares that it accepts the devis? abc bequest of Thomas O.
