* AUNT bTUE'-VIS1TTO CLEM- * * SON COLLEGE. * * (Continued.) *- e )car Advertiser Readers: Whore did I leaveyou last week? In the old Ca-lhoun home, I believe. The old house is situated on a hill and n ' have had an avenue of cedars leading out frdm it for if you stand at a certain spot near the house and look over towards the main building in a direct line stands a cedar tree and still further on stands another. We went to the hot house where ferns and flowers showed a wealth of green and color. We went through the main building into the auditorium in wyhichl% hangs, directly behind the stage the two splendid portraits of John C. CAlhoun and 11. R. Tillnan (I nigh add here that a duplicate of Ti f in's portrait hangs on the walls of the parlor at 'Winthrop). There arc other portraits among which are Mr. Clemson and Mr. Simpson, first chair man of the Board of Trustees. In the library are coples of pictures fron a famous gallery In Belgium. Mr. Clcm son, while a mnillter to Belgium, was quite a tavorite of the king and was given permission to have these copies made. Doubtless 'nany of these price loss masterpieces are now . I he hands of tho Gornians, they havlng secured them wih en they pillaged and destroyed Belgium. .\fay I digress here just a ttle? Maniy, perhaps Were ieo me ant re gretted that tle collegc wasi called Clemson and not Calhoun. Yet after I knew a little of the biography of Mr. Clemniso'i my mind luas ch:aiged. Of C' urse' thcI niamei Ca'timn will fl wayS b0 !nocitCd With thIn g reat ilnltit ion. The thought of It. how ever, originated In the heart of the maui Clemson-ho pal.I off the indebt edness( of the l'ort 11111 rlperty and while I stood in ilhat room 1 picturcd the scene when Clemson, Tillmnan, Norris aid Simpson met and iscussed tle agricultural college whichi then was merely a dream. It was at that conference the attention of Mr. 'em s0onl w:s called to a flaw In his will by Col. Norus. The will was then and there re-written by Col. Norris and so well done that it hold in all couirti after repeated litigation. Wle had gone u!) a day before we in tended going, in order to be there for the oratorical contest in which our bby represented the Calhoun society. The medal given for this speaker .is the only mcdal given by the trusieca and is accordingly appreciated. The con testan ts all did well. I had not heard our lad speak since his high school dayn at Laurens. I was VUr prised and delighted with his clo quence and his evident bent towards o:'atory. Perhaps a compliment I heard ju:-st behin:1 me by a lady In known tq m will tell to his Laurns co~uty friends ji;t how eloquent he really as, "Well," rhe -aid, as the speccel wva, cn'ie,!, "I've scarcely bri.ailicd since that L:oy started speak ing'. I had no idea there was a boy in South Carolina that (ol(1 speak like that", and I,'of course, heartily, thou-:h silently, agreed with her! The sulject of his speceh was "The Sar of Destiny" and the main thought. Was that westward, ever westward, the 10,1r of empire took its way. Now th star hangs over our own nation for there is no further <west! Al"cr lhe contest, there came in the afternoolln the miliary drill1. It was ft heIiutiful and Inspiring sight. Bow Inan nel(d linei with spectators, al most conmlctely encircled by caris and the 'a:'!ng or trumpets, the sound of drums mingled with the tramp of you thful feet. as tIe,, marched hi rhythmus across the green sward. The 200 nilsted muen, who were there in rpet il! training. dressed ln their regu i!!en ane( .known na. "Overall llrigade" came marching into the arena and Fat by comn0ies to see the cadets drill.
