No. XVII.
1784.-On the 17th of May,
when Mr. McCaule met the com
mittee, he "delivered to the com
mittee the following requisition
signed Thos. H. McCaule, viz :"
"GENTLEMEN: Let a rhouse be
erected and made ready >: my
small family on such a lot in
WVinnsborough, as I shall point
out with the assistance of Col.
Winn. For this house I am will
full extent, of which Mr. Mc
assure you. gentlemen, is easily
told. Let a supply of provisions
be furnished for the first year, as
the attention I must pay to the stu
dents will not admit of my look
ing after these things for some
considerable time."
"Let a sufficient number of tu
tors be employed to conduct the
business of teaching. It shall be
my business and happiness to see
that those tutors dischare their
duty with fidelity. In oraer that
justice may be done the students.
I foresee that I shall find it proper
frequently to examine the several
classes and put them through their
scholastic exercises.
"Let a scale of studies be ascer
tained by the Society which shall
be steadily and religiously adhered
to. If the several authors should
be left to my discretion. I shall
pursue in a great measure the plan
adopted by the College of New
Jersey, the place of my educa
tion.
"The Laws and Regulations of
the Seminary shall be drawn up
by the Society, unless they sub)
mit that matter to myself and the
tutors, who shall form what may
be called the Faculty, who shall
have cognizance of the transgres
sions of those regulations: diffi
cult cases may be referred to the
Society.
"As for myself I may have boys
to educate as well as others. -I
hope to be allowed the privilege
oi one scholar. his board and tui
tion free, and also b~e furnished
with fire wood for the use of my
house.

of your rising Semin-ary. As
soon as it shall be announced to
me that the house for my recep
tion is ready, after the first day of
November 'next, I shall with all
convenient speed make ready for
my removal to WVinnsborough.
The advancement of literature in
this place, the training up of youth
in the liberal Arts and Sciences,
shall be the pleasure and business
of my- future life.
"I'~have the honor to be, &c."
After a full cor sideration of the
propositions set forthby Mr. Mc
Caule, and a vote being taken
upon them, it was unanimously
agreed,
''That the Committee agrees in
toto with Mr. McCaule's requisi
tions, and that a copy of the same
be sent to the Society in Charles
ton for their concurrence."
"The Committee also agreed
that Mr. McCaule be furnished
with fire wood for the use of his
wu house."
The plan submitted as above
given was sent to the Society by
le Secretary, David Evans. Ar
unsigned letter appears among the
1d mnanuscript belonging to th<
records of the Society, whicl
seems to have been written by Col
John WVinn, who at that time wa~
President of the Comnmittee ii
WVinnsboro. The writer speak:
of "His brother, Richard Winn.'
The anxiety of the Committee t(
secure Mr.' McCaule's services i~
surely indicated in said letter.
Col.'WVinn exhibited his public
spirited interest in the welfare of
the Society and College by giving
Mr. McCaule a lot upon which to
build. This lot was one "near
the public buildings."
Upon receiving copies of the
plan agreed upon betweeni the
Committee and Mr. McCauie. the
Society referred the several mat
ters thierein contained to a coml
mittee consisting of Richard Hut
son. Roht. Lithgow,. and George
Logan. The following is that
Committee's report:

their Committee to confine .their

With the continued prosperity
that is nIow blessing this State there
is every indication that the State
Fair for 1905 wvill be more largely
attended than ever-before in its his
tory. Last year the South Carolina
State Agricultural and Mechanical
Society celebrated its annual Fair
at its new home in the southern su.
burb of Columbia. As is usually
the case, there t'ere some little de
tails that could not be finished for
the .holding of the last Fair, but
President Guignard has had a full
year -in which to have all of these
rough spots smoothed out, and the
outlook is that never before in its
history will the State Fair have a
more succeesful Fair than that
which is to be held here on October
24th, 25th, 26th, and 27th, inclusive.
y The inquiry for space at the
grounds, as well as from small ex
hibitors, indicate a very general ap
preciation of the value of such ex
hibits. A great deal of interest is
being shown' in the mechanical de
vices for use in agricultural pur
suits. From the inquiries that have
been received there will be quite a
nu nber of labor-saving'devices ex

.The railroad rates are always
cheaper for the State Fair than at
any other time, and more people
come to Colunmbia during Fair
Week than diiri any other of the
fifty-two weeks~ of the year. In fact.I
pretty much everybo~dy who is any
body in South Carolina is here dur
irig'Fair Week. Relatives, friemd:
and acquaintances from all p~arty
of the State gather in Columbia tc
talk about the joys and sorrows of
the year, and to 'oin in the festivi
ties. It is the one week that is giver.
up almost entirely by the people of
the State towards having a good~
time, and thefantiiy gatherings and
reunions that have already been
planned for the coming Fair Week
all go to show that this custom at
each succeeding State Fair is being
more emphasized than ever.
One of the particular gttractions
for'a great many folks will be the
fact that the 630 cadets of Clemson
College will be encamped here dur
ing the entire Fair Wecek. They
will give dress parades and. drills
each day while here, and will have
ample time in which to mingle with
their friends.
A great many people in this
State now are taking a keen interest
in foot.ball. Two of the best games
of the year are played here during
each Fair Week. In one of these
games the team of the South Caro
lina College participates, and in'the
other Clemson College engages.
Both of these teams are strong and
manly, and two exciting gamies are
to be expected.
The southern territory is devel
oping a very strong horseracing
field. More and better horses are
brought here to participate in the
rases. The finest racetrack' in this
ter-ritorv is at t-he State Fair
Ordundis, and it has been estab

to extending. a cordial welcome to
