As s ?inch lias bees . published, howevei .? most of it based on statements made b Jd[rl Qemson before his death and som ?correct, 3?r. Simpson common; Cttted the most important facts. ~ ^Mr. : Clemson's will was drawn sev %years ago by the late Col. Jas. H Sion, bot several amendments and ad . ^ ^i?oo? more recently made were drawl * bj Mr. Simpson. He bequeathes t Bis grand-dad gb ter, Miss Lee, ?H>;00< _?. money and securities and 330 acre of toe Fort Hill place, with the provis ion that that tract may be bought ii ? ai>ci added to the remainder of the.est?t* .r at a fixed price. - Other legacies amount to ?10,000, o .~ ;- " .which 47,000 was paid before his death All the remainder of the Fort Hill es 'tote, with the buildings and the magni . -? ?Scent collection of rare pictures, excep Joe family pictures, which goto Mis * Lee,' fir. Calhoun's furniture and boot ; ' remaining in the boase and the stocks beads, money .and other securities o - ~ j?r. Clemson, go to the State for tin establishment and maintenance of ai africoltorai college. The Fort Hill place contains 1,15( .acte?:?'% Of this 330 acres,-. as already > stated, go to Miss Lee, but can be pur chased . to keep the estate intact at i fixed reasonable price. Those intimate!; acquainted with Mr. Clemson's affair estimate that the securities and cash re ?^:oiaioing- after the payment of all en 'eombrances and expenses will be be tweeo $50,000. and $607 000 available ? for developing and endowing- the col lege. The roagni?cence of the bequest can > not well be appreciated without an un derstandi?g of what and where For Hin is. f - It is in Oconee County just at th? * point vrfiere Oconee, Pickens and An Merson troite. It rons for some dis tooee along the Seneca river and th en ci back into rolling uplands and heavih timbered woodland. The house stand: oo the crest* of a gently rising bill it the midst of a wide park, an avenue o old and beautiful cedars leading to it From the front there is a glorious view directly to the mountains until theil purple lines mingle with the horizon : on another side the view overlooks th? Seneca, wending its way among the bills, and the old British fort, froo which the .place takes its name anc which is on-the Fort Hill plantation. The residence is. io sight of the Rich jnona & Danville railroad track, at a dis tance of half a mile, and is four asile: from Pendleton, on the Bine Ridg< railroad, tour miles Irom Cent.al, on tb< Richmond & Danville road, and se vee miles from Seneca City, the meeting point of the two railroads mentioned. It is hard to imagine a requisite foi .n agricultural college which Fort H ill does not possess. It has n ??r?y 20( ^ acres of the finest bottom land, creefc . ood river.bottom,. cleared upland, pas tore rand in wide stretches and a great 1' belt of first growth timber, and its up -land soil is partly gray and partly rec land. It is abundantly "watered with springs, wells and creeks and has all possible natural convenience for dairy, ./.'Bathing houses, and laundry purposes Where a creek on it exrpties into th? Seneca river lhere is a good water power which has been used for a mill which did the neighborhood grinding * A fair estimate of the value of the real and personal property included in the bequest makes it exceed ?100,000, without, of course, including the pic tares aod faro i ture, which are prL-cless. Contrary to general expectation, the library is a very ordinary, one, most of 'the more valuable books having been ; -f "borrowed, stolen or otherwise io>t dur -?Og Mr. Clemson's long period of re? tirement and partial illness. The property is given to the State to be osed as an institution- for instruction . lo agriculture, but the will directs that the college sh all n?t be exclusively ag? ricultural and that proper attention be given to other studies and to a general collegiate course for students. If the State accepts the gift, the college is to be under the management of seven trustees, named in the will. Messrs. \ R. W. Simpson, D K. Norris, B R. Tilitoan, M. L Donaldson, R E Bow? en, J. ? Bradley aud J. 13 Wanna ?oker. In case the State refuses to ac? cept ?be gift these trustees are author? ised sod directed to proceed with the establishment of the college, using an aoioootspecified in the will fer buildings and maJcmg tuition as nearly free ss they may find possible or advisable. It was no sadden freak that inspired : Mr. Clemson's action, As long ago as ? - ?S66 he was interested in the establish B Dent cf such an institution as his will m provides, for and he was then active in H iurwardi?g a scheme to procure private M - jM?* and subscriptions for the purpose. ^^^^^^^^^^^^;:'dea^;txf iisiooly son, became more than ever before interested and evolved and publicly announced his nor pose to devote the Calhoun property ?to tbe glorious purpose*?of promoting I practical agricultural education. Since i then he has thought an d'tal ked much of the subject and hts will was no surprise to those who knew bim best or to ?Mr. Lee? bis son-in-law, who knew long ago the destination intended "for the property. On returning from J?ort Hill, the Green villeN News representative met at Central D. K. Norris, now the foremost leader of the 'farmer's movement' and since Mr. Tillman's formal retirement, the most prominent and persistent ad? vocate for a separate farmers' college. '[ Mr. Norris was quiet on the subject of the Clemson bequest, but evidently deeply enthused and very much in earnest. He said the gift put the whole matter of the college it the hands of the farm? ers, and they could secure a magnificent institution for agricultural education if they will use the opportunity. With the amount from the land scrip now given the South Carolin? College and the money from the fertilizer tax now diverted to the college annex and-other purposes-every cent of which, he said, was legally and morally for the use of the farmers for educating farmers-an income of ?40,000 a year would be se? cured for the new college, with its grounds and buildings all provided and some income from the surplus endow? ment. That was more than the State Military Academy aid the State Col? lege have together, he said, and would give a splendid, thoroughly efficient ag? ricultural college capable of accommo? dating hundreds of students, without the addition of one cent to the tases. He did not believe, he said, io free tu? ition. That question had been settled in the case of the State college. But he thought it probable a system would be adopted by which students would be enabled to pay the whole or a part of their own expenses by extra .work and service in the institution. Une valuable feature of the Fort:Kill library w?ll probably puzzle the execu? tor .and the trustees to dispose of it. It is the.manuscript of the completed "first volume of the life of ?Tohn C. Calhoun,! prepared by the late Piockney Starke, with the aid of IMr. Clemson. It is, however, all in a peculiar short ;haod invented by Mr. Starke himself,- and appears to defy all efforts to ?trans?ate it. Many of the documents, reports]] and other manuscript - used by Mr. J Starke and collected by him and.B. M. ? T. Hunter, .of Virginia, who undertook i to prepare a life of Mr. Calhoun, but < was compelled by poverty to relinquish 1 it, are in an old trunk in . the library ; building and may be found valuable by < some later biographer. After the talk with Col. Simpson and 1 Col. Norris and after seeing the intense earnestness with which they appear to : be inspired in the execution of the work ; left with them to do, the News repre? sentative had no difficulty in bringing to bis mind*? eye the picture that was doubtless -presented to Mr. Clemson's imagination many times-the picture of the homely house, hallowed by the name of the grim old statesman whose f?oe with its Celtic cheek bones and blazing eyes looks with lifelike gaze from the inner walls, the centre of a .group of statelier buildings-of the rounded slopes of velvet green, made deep and dark beneath the interlacing branches of the sturdy cedars and of lighter and more delicate and shifting tints where they Jail away in the sun? light to the silver river on one side and the murmuring, sparkling stream and bending willows on the other, peopled with the young and sturdy boee and sinew of the State Calhoun loved so weil and represented so grandly, learn? ing 'how to make ber richer, grander and happier-the glorious, fruitful borne of a people as prosperous and strong a? they have ever been brave, generous and free. [ . Do Something. Ft MRS. J. K. BARNEY. [ 'Mamma.' said a little girl of perhaps eleven years, 'do you know the verses they sing 'bout trust in God and do the right?' 'No, my dear, I cannot recall them, though I have heard them sung repeat? edly. What brings them to your mind now?' 'Last night at 'he temperance meet ! ing, the lady said, 'We need the help . of every one,'and then I thought, she looked right at ms when she added, 'Every one can do something, and we want our boys and girls to be tempe? rance missionaries.' 'I began to wish I knew what I could do, and after the meetiug I went up front, wishing t dared ask the lady to tell me ; when don't you think, she turned round and looked at me, then said, 'Here's one of my temperance jpirls, I know; I can tell by her eves.' She looked so pleasant 1 put up both arms and kissed her, and said, 'Do i j please tell rae what ? can do to help.' j < Everybody waa waiting to speak to her, j ! but she stopped long eoough to say, 'if I j you really want to help, ask God very ! j earnestly to show you something., and j j then as she patted my shoulder, 'wheu j you see some'hing to do, don't be afraid, j but r.rus? in God and do the right.7 j 'You see, mamma, - they had been j ; singing that, and I heard it, but was so j j busy thinking, I lost the other words ' j Sorae days after the nbove converja- j tion, the child, standing at a window; : saw a man partially intoxicated, trying ! j to wa!k**up street. 'Oh mother, "see," ? j and with one look iuto h<T mother's ? face, which meant, a great deai. she seiz- j ed her hat and ran out into the street. ; The man neared her, and the child's j face pafcd to the veiy ?ps, while the j j mother's heart beat fast as she watched I her. j Oh, Mr. Clark, i'm Mamie Ellis, and j I know your Mattie, audi like her ever ? so much : don't you want me to go home : i with you and see Mattie a little while? . j I can if you wilt ?et me.' The man had been a gentleman once, and he tried to be courteous now-'Go j to see Mattie ? oh. ye* ; Mattie is a good j I girl-a pretty girl. Mattie is. When I i used to walk with the ladies, they'd take roy arm, perhaps y<?u'd like to ;' and h?> laughed as he reeled .ilm^st off the curb- j stone. 'Wheu 1 walk with pepa. ? do ; so,' and the soiled, trembling hand was j clasped by a delicate one, which held it j firm and close. . They walked on slowly the man j steadying himself by an occasional touch ; upon - fence or house. \ Once he came j near falling over some strps, but j Mamie's care prevented it. Presently ! they came io sight of the Clark's house, j a miserable place in comparison to their ! Some of two years before. Fortunately Mattie was by thc door. 4Ob,' she ex- ' claimed, and then when she saw her father's condition, she-dropped down on the steps and began to cry. flow if was managed no one of the three can clearly tell, but they all sat dows there and Mamie tried to comfort Mattie, and the poor man cried because they did, and that made a dreadful time, . ' 'cause 'twas so awful to see a big man: cry hard,' and Mamie began to tell about the temperance meeting, and she ??was so glad she could remember so much about men who had taken the pledge' and kept it. The cool breeze seemed to fan away the fever and heat of the liquor, the man's liead grew clearer, and his heart, always-tender and generous when nor dulled and hardened by the cursed drink, melted under the sweet, child-, ish pleading. 40b, dear papa, if you would only take the pledge,' and 'Oh, dear Mr. Clark, you will, won't you V were some? how too much for him, and after a little more persuasion he consented. 'But where's your pledge V he asked. 4 You just sit right here and I will run as fast as ever I can and fetch one,* said Mamie. The little feet almost flew back over the dusty street. Bounding into the bouse, she had only breath enough, to say, 'He's going to- oh, mamma, he's really going to.; do ..please write me out a pledge quick;' .But my child, ? do not know what to write. I do not think I ever saw a temperance pledge in all my life. You know I did not go^to the meeting last Dight.* 'Oh, mamma, if you had been-there you'd been ashamed, I know, if you aever did help any, when the lady says, ;here is so much to be done. Give me some paper and a pencil-quick, da,' please-for he is waiting for me,' The little hand trembled with excitement as she wrote, after an instant's thought :I will promise to touch not, taste not, sandle not, any kind of liquor.' There was a look into the mother's kee, half reproachful, h?df appealing, 'I don't think it just right, but it will io, won't it, mamma?' 4Oh. yes, my dear, well enough for ill you'll be able to do for poor Mr. Olark. I guess.' A hasty kiss for the mother, and the" jhild hurried out, saying as if to her? self, 'If I do save him, 'twill be doing something, surely.' The man had tried to leave, but a pair of arms held him, and who shall say but what invisible hands lent their lid ? .'There, * just write your name right under 'touch, not, taste not, han ilenot,' and then, dear Mr. Clark, you svill be a temperance man and Mattie ind I will be 'temperance missionaries.' Qb, isn't that nice ?' The man took the pencil, and with a little urging wrot? bis name. The girls bent over him with .great satisfaction and Mamie said, 'Now you are- really and truly a temperance man. Oh, Mattie, ain't you just as happy as you can be? I am.' 4You are sure this is all. I've got to do?' the man inquired. 'Why, yes, 'touch not, taste not, han? dle not,' and stick to it, you know.' Mattie sprung up. 'Oh, Mamie, oughtn't we to swear him ? "'Do what?' 'Why swear him, you know,' and with an appealing look at her father 'Oughtn't we to swear you, papa?' A half smile came to the man's face as he answered, 'Yes, I guess so ; Vii hold up my hand, and you can make it as strong as you please.' They pro? ceeded to swear him, and then Mamie said, 'Let me take'the paper, I will put something under your name that will help yen, Pam sure. There, you just read that-'Trust in God and do the right.1 He read it over several times, folded the paper ^carefully, and put it in his pocket. Mamie kissed her little friend, then daintily touched the bloated face with her lips as she wispered ; 'You are my temperance man now, you know. I'll come and see you to-morrow.' There had been a quiet but anxious listener inside the half-opened door. A woman on her knees, with clasped hands, and a wordless prayer in her heart; just one long wail to God for help. Her life had become so dark and joyless, her once manly husband such a slave to tue drink fiend, that- hope had well-nigh fled ; but now there seemed a break in the clouds, and as the talk went on, 6he quietly rose, and waiting only for Mamie's "Good-bjfc,' stepped out, and laying her hand tenderly upon her husband's shoulder, 6aid, 'Come in, dear, and take a little rest.' Ue held out both hands, and led by wife and child entered his home. They placed him on the old dilapidated lounge and , he closed his eyes, that he might have time to think. 'Should he be able to keep his pledge ? How those children had cried over him, and if he broke his pledge it would break their hearts.' It was the first time he had been asked, no one had thought of it before. Opening his eyes, he met Mattie's looking so wist? fully at him. 'Poor dear, she has no bright ribbons and laces like the other little girl ! How pretty she would look if the had them, and she shall soon ; thc price of a few glasses of beer would buy them.' He reached out his arms and drew her close so him. 'A little child shall lead titan,' came softly from the pale lips of the trembling woman sitting iu the shadow, but noteful of every movement. We are not c?llod to write of the man's struggles, they were terrible enough ; nor of the many influence? brought to bear for his salvation. Neither will we tell new of Mamie's mothei'e consecraron to the temperance work, ii. came about through the daugh? ters words, nor of other things growing out of Mamie's efforts to 'do some? thing.' The end is not yet, aud the record will be well kept. At the close of six months she said to her mother, 'Do you think I might send the lady a letter, and tell her I have been trying to be a missionary; sun!
