HISTORY OF MT. ZION SOCIETY, And the CoIege Established Under its AuspiceS in Winnsboro, S. C. [W ). B. McCrcight, Puh>lis&el in Ac Newvs and lcrald in 1,37.) No. XVIII. 1784. After the action of the Society upon the agreement be tweet the Committee and the Rev. Mr. McCaule, (the Society having adopted the report of the committee already given,) the ahairman of the committee ap pointed to bring in a minute upon that agreemtnt, wrote to the committee in Winnsboro, informing them of the success he measure met with in Charles on, of raising funds for the ociety by subscription, and mlosing a copy of the address o the public which emanated From the Society. The copy of he address is lost, but the letter iccompanying it is prese::ved, d is given below. The %riter ias Richard Hutson, at one ime a member of the Continea ial Congreus, and afterwardit one )f the Chancellors of this State. Che manuscript letter exhibits a ine specimen of penmanship. he following is a copy of it.. "Charleston, August 17tb, 1904. "Gentlemen: Your letter of the .7th May last, enclosing Mr. dcCaule's propositions, together -ith the other paper received at :he same time, were referred to committee of which I had the ionor to be Chairman. I send -o enclosed our papers on the ubject, and also some copies of he address to the public which as drawn up in copsequer.ce of lie recommendations of the com uttee." "I have tLe pleasure o:: in orming you that our success ith the subscription in the city as exceeded our most sanguine spectations. We have upwards f a thousand pouiLds sterling ubsenbed. It is needless to ibserve to you how much Winns ?orough is iuterested i the uccess of the Academy. The oietv have therefore a right to pect very considerable exer ion from your neighborhood. If -ou have not money, make sub crii tions payable in proviions, Laterials for building, and labor." "'he very liberal and generous neouragement which has been ven to this institution, as well s to the Academy at Ninety ,, by the gentlemen of this ty, will I hope have a Lappy ffect in couniteracting the mis hievous views of some artful ud designing men among us. uch disinterested conduct must onvince every candid and un rejudiced person, that the hue nd cry agairnst an aristocratic party Isaid to be forming ir. this tate, is entirely withott any cal foundation and mqst ha.ve ee raisedi to answer sinister .nd interestt d purposes. If the enutlemen of this city harb~ouredl ny designs hostile or unfriendly o your abiitmies, would they ontibte so cheerfully and so ~enerously towards the este.blish pent of schools and Seminaries of ~earning am ug you, for the pur >oe of enlightening ard in tucting you? Most assuredly hey woul .1 not. Slavery, for he most pait, is the consequence nd effect of ignorance, ar d did hy wish to enslave you. their b'ious policy would be to keep rou ignoi apt." "You'll o bserve that it is in eded t.hat the subscriptions hl be taken on the back of he address. '1 he method to be bservd in sabecribing, is tq crite lown the sum in words mediatey after the name, and hen carry it out into the blagk 'es in W ures,"1 I have the 2onor to be, gentlemen, with very sentiment of esteem, your nost obedient servaut, I~ebard Iuntson." O. the aame day Mr. Eutson neos: d a letter in one to Gen ichard Winan, which was to be *o:wrded to "by the first op a unt ," and in which was an appeal to> thle Oranige Prebytery, >f No~ th Caroiina, for t Ae dis :i sal of the Rev. T. Hi. l!<Catule from that body, in view of his emoval to Winnsboro. H~aving secured the se vices of in eflicient presidcnt, and con :urred ith him in preparations necessary to re establish the Colleg, "the C mmnittE e went ~arnestly to Ivoxk tp complIete the* arra:gments. On the 10th of July the followiug m~nute was adopted, vi:: "Reolved that the gentlemen, mnemb-rs of this Coonittee, living' v;i'in ten or twelve miles disace he wrote to rt (1nesting their attendance in person at Winnsborough on the first Tues day in August, to repair and erect the temporary buildings for the use of the Mt. Zion Acad emy, and also to bring what assistance they can, with three days provisions." At this day, directions for such preparations sound very much like orders to this com munity, during the late war, to send assistance for building mili tary fortifications. It can easily be inferred from this action of the Committee, how difficulty house-raising was at that time. A committee composed of Gen. Winn, Col. Hampton, Capt. Buchanan, Mr. James Cooke, I Col. Henry Hunter, and Capt. Field Farrar, was appointed to submit a plan for executing the purposes indicated in the above resolution:, which was adopted by the Committee, and two members, Messrs. James Cooke and Ben jamin Harrison was appointed "to superintend and see the same carried into execution." Resides the members, the inhabitants generally were called upon to attend and assist in the raising .of the temporary buildings. Again on the 4th of September it was determined that every member of the Committee, "having slaves," should send one hand, on the 16th of that month to remain at work until the buildings were completed: From some cause the Committee held no meeting from the 4th of Septem ber to the 13th of Nevember following, at which time it was again ordered that hands should be sent on the 25th of Nevember to aid in finishing the work. 1y the first week in December the temporary building for the use of the MontA Zion Academy were completed. The faith al the Committee was pledged "to. discharge the cxpense incurred in raising and repairing the school-house." To meet this outlay, Col. John Winn, Gen. Richard Winn, Col. H. Hampton Mr. James Cooke, Capt. Thos. Baker, Messrs. Kemp Strother and David Evans, were appointed a corpmittee "to draw up an address to the members living within twenty miles" of Winns boro, send it out, and collect what subscriptions they possibly could, Mr. Benj. Waller, a member in Charleston, wrote to Gen. Winn as follow;: "Dear Sir: Inclosed you will receive a letter directed to the County Directors, which author izes them to draw on the Society for fifty pounds, as likewise one hundred dollars for Mr. McCaule. I have wrote to Mr. Knox to pay te money if he has the ogsh to do it, which wlill save the trouble of sendipig for i;. I shall shortly send Mr. Knox a quantity of nails; when they arrive, you may call on him for fifteen thousand of any kind you may choose of them,-which I make to the Society to carry on the building. Also, if you will let me know whether the Comn mittee at Sion is in want of books to keep a fair copy of their journals, I will make them a present of two suitable." Nails must have been a pre cious article then, as they were counted out, and not weighed. The reason was that ta "cut nails" weig then made: all were 'wrought nails," that is made by hand. It appears that Mr. Waler errployed Mr. Knox as a mercantile agent to do basines in Wignsboro. (To be continued.) Is it right that a property owner should lese $420O to let a dealer make 50 cents? A dealer makes 50 cents more on foui teen gallons of ready to-use paint, at $1.50 per gallon, than cur agent does on eight gallous of L & MI. paint and six galloiis of I:useed oil, whic~h makes fourtecen gallons of the best paint in fihe vwa'd, at 81.20 per gallon, dhe pr..p'arty owner loses just $1.20. is it right?

Astonishing incident. It was, to all her friends, an astonishing incident, that Mrs. [. B. Hunt, of Lime Ridge, Wis., was cured of her dreadful sick ness. "Doctors," she writes, "had given me up; friends were ready to bid me the last farewell; clouds of despair darkened my horizon, and I was a wreck on the shores of despondency, when I began to take Electric Bitters, for my frightful stomach and liver: omplaint. To the astanishment f all, ? was beneflied at once and am now completely and mira ulously restored to health." At cMaster Co.'s, Obear Drug Co.'s and John H.

The Difference, Ocoasionally we still see in; ome dispensary papers the bsurd remark that if we abolish he dispensary on aecount of rottenness, to be consistent, we hall have to abolish all county >ffces in which fraud is practiced. We sometimes wonder if any one -eally does not see the difference Jetween an institution that is an. il at its best and an office that s indispensable at its worst. A reat many people in South arolina saw from the first that he dispensary could not but be i hotbed of corruption, and they :annot claim any unusual degree >f sagacity on that account, for ~he wonder is that all did not see t.-Chester Lanterg.
