MfcCreight, Published in The News a nd Herald in 1867.) 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.

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: The Committee to whom were referred the several papers which were received from the Comm~fit tee of the Society at Winnsbor REPORT.: "That the Committee byv thus accedling so fully to the proposi tions of the Rev.

Cheap Rates. 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 hibited, and, of course, all up-to date, farmers want to see t-hese 'th e is, however, a farere - teresting pnhase of the -SitAFuss than the merfe exhibits in'the bitild ings on the ground, and t~hat i~s the opportunity for intercourse between the people of 'the State that th'e State Fair ofErs.'

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 .ish'ed at a: comideriabe .expense.
