He' dwelt upon tho need of. education for the young man taking np the business life. The vice-President said In part: 'Slight knowledge will not enable, the yoting man to assume the man ?agement of life's affairs. In the lr ropr<;sBlble conflict between labor and capital, he cannot assume that either property or labor is everything with out tending to establish a peon class in America or an oligarchy of wealth. Complete knowledge may convince him that it will be better for the Re public to be controlled by neither of these classes. 'In 1860, we bad a Republic where labor was satisfied, where respect for religion and reverence for law and order and a sincere attachment to. the Constitution were strong. In that year the proportion of the annual wealth created In the country by the Joint efforts of labor and capt' il was one-fourth to labor and thrce-iourths to capital. Sixty years later, the pro portion had changed to less than one fifth to labor and more than four? fifths to capital. Thu. proportion, to my mind, had ?much to do with our present dlscon I tent. "Usurious interest ls no more usu rious profit has taken its place. When our rtatutes regulating the rates of interest were enacted, the laboring man, generally speaking, was a'skill ed laborer. He could produce a com pleted article. The advent ot ma chinery took from him bis tools and. put them lp tho hands of capital. Mo ney no longer is borrowed by labor ers to enable them to carry on their trades, but money- ls crafty and In stead of loaning itself to the laboring man, it is now buying, the laboring man's machinery, constantly embrac ing RS own profit, thereby constantly decreasing the laborer's share of our produced wealth. The young man in assuming leadership must create; a public opinfon and develop a moral sentiment against usurious profit and Interest. ... ?J .. "Evidence of a disposition on tho part of corporate wealth .to. accept this . view is not lacking. I dare tho prediction that the railroads ' of 'the country would welcome permanent five per cent accumulative profit In; exchange for their greater profit and the doubt, risk and abuse which come with lt. "The doctrine of state's rights is now seldom heralded save in opposi tion .to the needed reforms. I must subscribe to the doctrine,, bot I real ise that subjects which formerly, were purely of state cognizance have be come common interest between the states and that the doctrine of state's rights must he supplemented by the doctrine of state's duties. . . "To control our corporations, lt be comes a- state's duty to. place in of fice vigorous and honest officials.who will halo eHanders Into court and vin dicate, the honor of their state laws instead of elevating into office men, who, will-quietly sit by and walt .for. the general government to devise a plan to. prevent the evil and to punish the wrong-doer.

C. . Mr. Clemson natilx feet, six Inches 311. bis features wert, handsome, and B appearance commanding ; hts de- ' portmenl^and manners'were of a high order, and be was girted with fine con versational powers. His views and opinions Were broad and liberal, and, then* was nothing'narrow br con-! tracted about-him; with all he was* firm and tenacious in adhering to hist conclusions. He was remarkably j quick to discover and comprehend the character of bis - associ?tes, and in forming hts opinions of* them he was almost alway* correct. Mr.?Clemson -no doubt may have had 'his faults, and in ?ame .things he was peculiar, but during the long time the' writer was Intimately associated with. him. he was never known* to dc a mean thing or heard to backbite or speak disrespectfully of any one. While pos sessed of ample means he had no dis position to spend marp' money upon hlmr.cir than was actually necessary. His greatest desire was to take car? of bis property and increase it that he might tho better carry out his promise to bis wife, which was to found an agricultural college- upon the Fort Hill estate',' upon the very spot she herself had selected for the location of the main: college building. How faithfully he redeemed his promise to his dear wife, let Clemson College as it standB today in all its maglnlfcenoe Bpeak. Mr. Ctemson well knew that the property donated'for the purpose would not be sufficient, to bnild and maintain Buch a -college as he con ceived of, but having a firm reliance upon tile liberality of the state of South Carolina, he felt assured that when tho necessities of the people, growing out of, their changed condi tions resulting from thc effects of war. were properly understood and appreciated, - hin efforts to benefit the farmers would be recognised; and that ( Um state..would suppl?aient his dona tion by whatever amount might be ? no?er.s?ry to establish. the dream of his Ufo.

Mr. Clem Bon waa assigned. to the mining de partment of the tran8-Mts8laaippi Ni tro Department. Here he remained in the service until the close of the war. 'At thia time Mr:;. John C. Calhoun resided at Pendlctoh; and here Mr. Clemson waa ro-unlted with hla fam ily? and her they resided until tho death of Mrs. Calhoun in tho latter part of 1866. Previous to the war Mr?. Calhoun had sold their old home. Fort Hill, and bl her proporty thereon to hor son, Col. Andrew P. Calhoun, taking hiB bond and mortgage for the pur chase money. Of this bond and mort gage Mrs. Calhoun willed three-fourths to her daughter, Mrs. Thos. O. Clem son, and one-fourth to Mrs. Clemson's daughter, MIBS -F?t-ride, who subse quently married Mr. Gideon Leo of New York. Tho mortgage of Col. A. P. Calhoun was foreclosed and Mrs. Clemson bought In Fort HUI, and di vided it with ber daughter, Mrs. Leo, in proportion to the interest of each Under Mrs. Calhoun's will. In 1871 Mrs. Floride Lee died,- leaving cae child, a daughter. Only seventeen days after Mrs. Lee's death., ?phn. C. colllBlon of two trains on the Blue Clemson, was killed near Seneca by a Ridge Railroad. -The losa of their on ly .two children was a terrible shock to Mr. and Mrs. Clemson.
