C. .Mr. Clemson was six feel, six inchon lull. bb. feiitnres wen handsome, nilli lils ti p|ii 'H ru nee commanding; bis do |H*rfrncnl and manners were of a high order, and he was gifted willi fine toii vi rsntional powers. His views and opinions wer?' broad ?nd liberal, und Hiere was noiliing narrow or con tracted about Ililli; wilh n^l he was firm und tenacious in adhering to hin conclusions. He was remarkably ?lliick to discover and comprehend tho character of his associates, and In forming his op'n!:;??** of them he was almost always correct. Mr Clemson no doubt may have had bl? faillir, and in some things he was peculiar, but darin:', the long lime Ibu writer was intimately associated with bim. he was never known lo do n mean bing or heard to backbite ?ir speak dlrresp?otfiiHy of any one. While pos rcsHod of iitnple means he had no dis position lo spend more money upon himrelf than was actually necessary. His greatest i|esir*> was to taite cure of his property ami increase lt that he might the better carry ont his promise ft? his wife, which was to found an agricultural college upon the Fort lilli estate, upon the very spot she herself had selected for the location of the main college building. How faithfully he redeemed his promise to hin dear wife, let Clemson College as il stands today in all its maglnifconee upeak. Mr. Clemson welt knew thu; the property donated for the purpose would not lie ni lucien t to bulbi and maintain such a college as he con ceived of, hut having a firm reliance upon Hie liberality of tho rtatc of South Carolina, he felt assured that when the necessities of thc people, growing out of their changed condi tion:", resulting from tho effects of war. wore properly understood and appreciated, his efforts lo benefit the farmers would be recognized: and that Hm rt ate would supplement his dona tion by whatever amount might be neceisary- trJ ertabllsh the dream of bb. lifo. He reasoned wisely and cor ree Hy Very carly In life Mr. Clemson de veloped a great taste for the study of the uclenccs. especially chemistry, Ulliierology and geology. In 1823, when hardly sixteen years of age. ho ran off from his traine, not on acount of any disagreement with hi? parents, but limply for adventure and to see the world. At that Hmo ho, though .-o young, was six feet tall and ex ceedingly handsome, both in form and lent ure:; At this Hmo France was particularly friendly toward the Cn i ted States anti his handsome young Atncrici.n very soon ntractcd the at of th1 young nobility of that groat city. Through these young men he alon became acquaint eil with some of the leading officials of tho day. Dur ing bis stay in Paris he shouldered a musket and joined his young friends in several or the revolutions of out breaks for which that city has been famous. His gallantry displayed oh these occasions earned for him the respect and esteem of tho olflclals,. w.ho rewarded him with a position in the celebrated .School of Mines. He re mained in Hu- school for four years timi gratinai ed with high honors Dur ing his stay in Paris ho also found time to indulge in his taste for painting, ami had as his teachers some of the celebrated artists -f that time. By these means, he :. i'amo acquainted with many painters both In France and Germany, which or.aVcd him In after years to collect, the many rare and beautiful paint'-gs which now adorn tho walls of iohn C. Calhoun's obi homestead at 'ort HUI. During bis site a Europe lils fath er died and thc ' irgo estate was di vided In such r ay as to leave him no part of it. i I Just at the age of manhood he f- . d himself penniless; but be set o'- rfntly to work in tho practico tif j profession and very soon carno*' .:i enviable reputation. His service- ra a mine expert, wore particular!' valuable, and though oHlaliliHhnd ; Washington, his labors were/ not 'onftned to this country alone, but ' steaded to Cuba and South America . Iso. His fees were large nntl he \ ry soon amassed a comfor table fortuno. At Washington he wns u coiisplrloiin and prominent person, and he had entry Into the most ex clusive families. Miss Anna Marla, tho eitles? daughter of John C. Calhoun wa? in* Washlnglon on a visit to her Wehr, and there Mr. Clemson mot her, and subsequently they wore married nt Fort Hill. Mrs. Clemson was among women what her distinguished fnther was among men. Her love for her home nod country was nuporb, and to this noble generous nntl yet gentle wom an. South Carolina ts as much indebted for Clemson College as to her distin guished husband, Thos. G. Clemson. Mr. Clemson was a great admirer of John C. Calhoun, and earnestly sup ported his political views and opinions... D?ring the administration of Presi dent Jackson he was appointed mini ster to Belgium, but having little taste for politics at the expiration or hts term be returned to Washington and resumed the work of hts profession.

Many persons lu Pendleton remember the grief of this ole. e.nd now desolate man at the grave when the remains of the de voted partner of his life were being lani t?) rest. The remaining years of his life Mr. Clemson spent, desolate and alon?;, at Fort HUl^ After a while he began to take more interest In affairs. H?> was fond of reading, and kept around him the leading newspapers and standard magazines by which he was enabled to keep In touch with his fellow men; otherwise ho lived the life of a her mit, at least for several years after the death of Mrs. Clemson. Eventually, however, his mind be came fixed upon the ono purpose of fulfilling thc promise to his wife and erecting the College they had planned. Then ho began again to visit his friends, and many wero the efforts ho and hip friends made lo Interest oth ers in this greet work. During this time he looked carefully after his finances, and tried to suv?' all he could Tor the College.

He portrayed in a manner never to bc forgotten the con dition the South was sure to be plung ed into, if something wero not don?! to arrest thc destructivo londoners of the times. Education such as v/c hud before our conditions wero chang ed by the war. was all right, but not enough. To become successful tho Soul bern propio had to become prac ? Heal, nnd a practical education wa:? necessary to meet tho people's neces sities. During the latter part of his life, he talked a groat deal about religious matters and became vory much con cerned about tho salvation of his soul. He requested tho ministers to visit him. one good man who was with him to the last, said that beyond a doubt he had made, hts peace with his God, and his last words were in behalf of the poor and Buffering.
