IR.31McCreighkt, Publi'ihe~? in '1l'e .ws aand Ilerald in 1b7.) XVI. 1784. It appears that the committee were disposed to abide the time asked by Mr. McCaule to consider the proposi tion made to bim to take charge of Mount Zion College; but in the mean time, further correspon dence was carried on with him on the part of thm committep. On the 9th of May, 1784, in reply to a letter from Gen. Winn, Mr. MeCaule, writing from Rowan, N. C., addressed the General as follows: "Sir: Yours by Maj. Ellison arrived this morning. Being just about to set out for church, I have only time to acknowledge the honor of Major Ellison's waiting upon me, and of your very polite lettler. I shall use every exertion to attend at Jackson's Creek on Sunday next. Maj. Ellison in vites me to lodge with him on the evening of that day. Soon after i that I shall be ready to enter upon particulars respecting your Academy. Should I not suit you, or the place not answer my wishes on inspection, I will not ho'd the committee long in suspense. Should I accept o the appointment, my' few and small talents shall be devoted to iour service and that of the Muses in South Carolina. I have the honor to be, &c., T. H. McCaulb. The appointment made by Mr. McCaule was unfilled, and on the 17th of May he arrived in Winns boro, the committee meeting that day to hear'his final decision as to accepting the control of the College. On that day lie ad dressed a note to the "President, Wardens, and Members of the Mount Zion Committee, viz: "Gentlemen: On the 19th of April I was honored with an appoint nent in a letter dated Charles ton under the signature of Messrs. Hutson, Tate, Huger, Pinckney, d Winn, a committee of Mount Ziou Society. I hereby beg leave to signify my acceptance of the said appointment on con dition matters can be adjusted agreeable to you, gentlemen, and your most ebedient humble sur vant, T. H. McCaule, Winnsboro, 17th May, 1784." further to give some history of the Rev. Thos. McCaule. The difficulties of securing the services of an efficient master of the Col lege, induced the Society and the Committee to make haste slowly in their selection. Tihis fact will be more fully appreciated when we reflect how few in the coun try fhen enjoyed the advantage of either a professional or liberal education. For many years the opportunities of receiving such education were to be found no nearer than the College of New Jersey. Efforts were made to establish a first class school in Charlotte, North Carolina, many years be fore the Revolution, but twice did the King by proclamation repeal the charter granted for the purpose by the Colonial Legisla ture. After the Revolution had commenced, however, better suc ees3 attended such efforts. In April, 1777, the Legislature of North Carolina grantsd a charter to the institution formerly called Queen's Museum under the new name of Liberty Hall Academy. .Fifteen trustees were named, ai-ong whom was the Rev. Thos. f. MNcCaule. This divine was a ~radnate of the College of New Jersey, as appears in his prop osition to the Society, when about to accept the chief manage ment of the College. Scarce of the medium height, of a stout frnme, and full body, of dark, pit icrg eyes, a pleasant coun tenance and winning manners, with a fine voice, he was popular ,ohas a preacher and as a man. .'ublic-spirited, he encouraged the :Revolution; and in the time of the invasion, went with his flock to the camp: and was be ide General William Davidson when he fell at Cowan's ford, ga Ulauily resisting the troops un, l.r Lo4rd Cornwallis. Of so mfut K# repo~'ts was he, as a public spir. ted mn. n, that lhe was, once rn f >r the~ Governor's chair, and faied in the election by a very sm'atl vote. Apph cation was made to Mr. Fuller tr , weeuire his service as a tutor. lisa repig by letter has already ba en'given. Subsequent ly he camek to Winnsboro him self. But ~a the mea.n time the Secretary a f the .commihtee was directed to' 'write to tfhe Society i Charlestoi to miake particular inquiry into Mr. Fuller's dhirac ter and abilittos a a tutor." At the following neeting the Secre tary was dire ct ed to write to the Society inform ing them that the committei (did :2ot think Mr. Ful ler a proper pe:-son to be employ ed as tutor, for the committee +1 .mnevan had seen him. The bjection to him, whatever it was, does not appear. It was at this iceeting, May 17, that an election was held for offices of the committee for the ensnin- year. Col. John Winn was made President; Burr Harri son, Senior Warden; Kemp Stro ther, Juanior Warden; John Wood ward, Treasurer; David Evan. Secretary; and Benj. Harrison and Wm. Owens, Stewards. With a fair prospect of placing: Mount Zion College under able management, the Society set it self to the task of preparing for the tccomimodatioi of the funnflilty and the students. Thi-emisted in repairing the old, and rnising new, but teupoi u ry P bu Id ig. The original des:gn of er.ceting a college building coIIIIIe;Iurate with the purpose of the Soeiety had not been ab.-ndoued, not jwithstandii g the low state of the. funds in tle trt asury as well as in the country. The largo experiences of Mr., McCaule caie in very oppor tunely to assist in the necessary preparations, as will appear i the sequel. (To be continued.) Like Finding floney. Finding health is like finding money-so think those who are sick. W.hen you have a cough, cold, sore throat, or chest irrita tion, better act promptly like W. C. Barber, of Sandy Level, Va. He sa i s: "I had a terrible chest trouble, cau.-ed by smoke and coal dust on my lungs; but. after finding no relief in other remedies, I was cured by Dr. King's New Discovery for Con sumption, Coughs and Colds."

The Home Merchant. "Who is the home merchant?" asks an exchange. He is a mAn who helps pay for the streetz on which you walk; he helps to keep up the church in which you and yours worship; every subseription paper that is passed hns kis name upon it; be is th-e only one who cannot afford to swindle you, self-interest if nothing else, would prevent this; he bears his share of the buiden of good gov ernment and stays with you in sunshine and darkuess. Pastp these facts in your eat, and then stop and consider whenever you a-re tempted to send away for anything kept in your own town. THREE ,JURORS CU)Rhi Of Cholera Morbus with O.n~ Sm . I Bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cho. - era and Darrhes Remedy. Mr. G. WV. Fow ler, of Highitowe. Ala., relates an experience heic i while serving on a petit jury in a om'r der case at Ed wardsville, county seat of Ciebourne county, Alabamia 1H. says: "WVhile there f ate some f-resh meat and some souse meat and it gave me cholera mnorbus in a very seer torm. I wvas never more sick in myv life and senrt to the drug store for a eF tain cholera mnixture, but the druggist sent me~ a bottle of Chandherlaiin's Co1lie, Cho'era and Dia rrhi wa Rem edy inst enad, saying that be had what T sent for, but that this medicine was so much better he would rather send it to moe in the fix I was in. I took one dose of it and was better in five mrinuLteS. T1lx second dose cured me entirely. Two fellow jurors were atleted in thme same ma nner and one smail bottle cured thme thr ee of us."
