Mr. Allston's friends here will regret to know that he is not improving in health very fast. CLEMSON COLLEGE. Mr. Editor: I seo in your issue of January 27th a suggestion made by the Greenville News to substitute Cal houn for Clemson. It is said "the reat statesman desired his home to l become the property of the State." I 3 know, personally, that is not so. Mr. Thos. G. Clemson was, at the s time of the donation, so vilified.by the I Honorable Legislature and soi many I misstatements made about the gift that I think a true history of the fact might be interesting and a conclusion reached. I to let Mr. Clemson's name go down to1 posterity as a noble man and an hon red son of South Carolina. Mr. Clemson ma"red -s st - Dahoun, oldest daughter of Hon. John" D. Calhoun; but did not receive Fort Eill as her dower. Mrs. John C. Dalhoun owned Fort Hill after her husband's death. She sold the prop- I erry to her oldest son, Andrew Cal.I loun, later, reserving a home with him. Mr. Andrew Calhoun was not ble to meet the payments and Fort ill was sold-a bona fide sale-to Mr. Clemson, and Mrs. Calhoun moved to Pendleton village to a small home e of her own and Mr. and Mrs. Clemson I took possession of Fort Bill. The matter of the disposition of Fort , Hill was much discussed by Mr. Clem- c on, and in fact, in a letter to Col. ~ Rion, which I have, Mr 4 lemson .said Mrs. Clemson agreed with him that t some disposition ougbt to be made of .i Fort Hill to preserve it for good. She t favored its being given for educational purposes. In Mr. Clemson's first will he had t decided to leave the property to the f State, to be kept up by the State much ~ in the same mannxer as Mount Vernon, with a matron and twelve ladies of the State to act as regents, to keep the old home of John C. Calhoun in perfect preservation. Mr. Clemson wor shipped his distinguished father-in- h law and lost sight of his own individu- X ality in the thougl.t of giving Fort Hill to the State. However, subsequent to this will, t Mr. Benj Tillman, the honest friend and well-wisher to the agricultural interet ,f the State, visited Mr. Clemson at Fort Hill and convinced Mr. Clemson that an agricultural col- 1 lege was the best disposition of this property. Mr. Clemson thought a polytcnic school was the best, and o see that his own idea has finally been developed by the drift of progress. The endowment of a handsome capi tal from Mr. Clemson's valuable per sonal property of $80,000 or more was of course to be set off by the State, taking an interest in the matter and helping out a noble legacy. It would be a shame and disgrace now to change the name of Clemson College, for Calhoun rA no more to do with the property than the next man. Mrs. Jas. H. Rion. SThe Coming Wom,an Who goes to the club while her hus band tends the baby, as well as the ood old-fashioned woman who looks< nfter her home, will both at times get rui down in health. They will be troubled with loss of appetite, head-< aches, sleeplessness, fainting or dizzy< spells. The most wonderful remedy1 for these women is Electric Bitters.I Thousands of sufferers from Lame Back anid Weak Kidneys rise up and call it blessed. It is the medicine for women. Female complaints and Nerv ous troubles of all kinds are soon re lieved by the use of Electric Bitters. Delicate~ women should keep this remedy on hand to build up the system. Only 50c. per bottle.

Quite a time has elapsed sinceY. hwe heard from this section, and L dare say you have concluded that y correspondent is asleep, or flow so speak, or something else has befa e him, but nay ! here he is again. No ing but pure neglect and forgetfalness and laziness, to some degree, also The old adage is, that "an honest con fession is good for the soul," and so Ij come forth, and tell it out. Well, what must I talk about, for news is like the price of cotton last fall, and even now, scarce. As far as we can see farmers here are commencing new operations for the year in dead earnest and seem de termined to go ahead, in spite of the hard times, and put their shoulders to the wheel and fight for a living as much as ever. It is true the times and way is hard, but "they are heroes in this [sttife." As far as the weather admits they are pushing ahead with their ploughing, and a good deal is done in places together with other - work in that line. Don't think that near as much fertilizer will be used ; as last year. The grain crop is good generally, owing mainly to the mild ness of the weather, for we have had comparatively speaking, very little cold so far. But later on, duting February and March, we may expect it. Our winters best has, from all ac cou:,.-, proved Florida's worst, as it is repcr (d the worst freeze in that state sincu '94. Is the North Temperate Zone getting larger? Sociables seem to be the order of the day, as we have had two already, one at Mr. Scott's and one at Mr. Reeves', our postmaster, and another is booked for Thursday evening, 27th, at Mr. Scott's. Let the "ball" roll, for such occasions are pleasant and enjoyable. There seems to be an epidemic of marriages in our section. Mr. W. D. idwell has lately been fortunate in :apturing one of Columbia's fair laughters. Harrah for him! and we wish them a life of happiness and prosperity. We understand that there tre several more matrimonial affairs in he near future. Who next? We are glad to hear that Mr. John 3tewart wno accidentally shot himself iurig the holidays is much improved, tnd wish him a speedy recovery. Mr. Goodwyn Mattox also met with tn accident. He knocked his knee c :ap out of place not long since while I vorking in the field. But owing to he expert skill of Dr. Harrison he ii e ow nearly all right again. Mr. Ben Cassels has started his new w-mill near Mr. Sparrie;'s dnd is u ning out lumber of a superior 7ality from the word "go." Miss Nettie Kennedy, of White Hail, 4 . C., is visiting her sister Mrs J. y lison Jones. Stay with us, Miss a Jettie, for we will miss you whan on go.
