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,

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

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

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

never comes to those who buy
