THE CLEMSON BEQUEST.
? tn order that the farmers of this
County may have a clear idea what tbe
much talked of Clemson bequest is, we
publish this week an exact copy of the
original will. The S par tan burg Herald
in commenting npon Mr. Clemson's will
eays^hat :
.'Many farmers and taxpayers have
an idea that the Clemson bequest offers
to the State an agricultural college
equipped and endowed as a free gift to
the farmers, if the State will only ac?
cept it and make it a State institution.
Others have thought that the State
could add a small appropriation to &
large bequest, and thus secure a State
agricultural college which would be the
pride of the State and add lustre to its
name.
It is plain that the bequest is not a
free-gift in any sense. Mr. Clemson
proposes a partnership with the State
to build a college on his farm. The
.frill, when reduced of its verbiage,
will be found to provide :
First. That the college must be call?
ed the 'Clemson Agricultural College.'
lt m#t not be called the 'South Caro?
lina Agricultural College,' proof of the
8 tale's progressive and liberal spirit in
the encouragement of scientific agricul?
ture. It must be maintained under the j
same of a private citizen, in order to ;
per pot cato his personal munificence to j
South Carolina.
Seeond. It must be established cn j
the Fort Hill plantation, consisting of j
840 acres, which is donated to the .
State, 'so long as it, In good faith, de- '
rotes said property to the purposes of
the donation. Should thc experiment
prove a failure and the State desire to j
discontinue the enterprise, the land, ?
with mil tee buildings placed thereon, j
will revert, of course, to the heirs of j
Mr. C?^uison. j
Thirti. He bequeathes the balaoce
of his property (except a few legacies)
consisting of about $80,000, 'as an en- j
dowroent for the said institution.'
No provision is made, in case tbe j
8tate accepts for erecting buildings
This munt bs done by the State. The I
buildings of the Mississippi college co?t ?
$140.000; it will certainly cost ?500,- j
000 in South Carolina. Thc Sute j
gets all the money it needs at four and ?
one-half per cent. The gSO.OOO en-j
dowmeot would be worth to the State ;
$3.600 a year.
Fourth. Fie apneints seven trustees, !
and gires tbe Stare the right to appoint I
six more, and provides strongly against j
the State ever securing a controlling ?
majority on the board.
And Fifth. The State must accept
the bequest and begin work within :
three years after the probate of the will ; j
else the whole property is to po to the j
appointed trustees for forming the ;
Clemson ScientiSc school.
Mr. Clemson does not, then, by his j
will offer the State any gift at all. He !
proposes a partnership. The terms are ,
these :
The institution is to be in his name j
alone, and the Stste is to be a silent
partner.
His own trmstces shall hrve absolute j
and perpetual control cf the enterprise !
Mr. Clemson will contribute the la ed, !
worth $10,000. if the State will erect j
on .it the building, worth ?500,000.
Mr. Clemson will furnish a revenue I
of $3,600 a year to run tb? business, j
if the State will furnish the remaining
$16,400
And if the State ever grow3 tired of j
the arrangement, thc whole joint prop- ,
ertv goes to Mr. Clemson's heirs at law.
The proposed partnership appears not
advantageous io the Sute, lt has been
widely advocated because, surely
terms were not understood. The
obscures them in a multitude of w<
but they are unambiguous.
If it will benefit the agriculture ol
State to have ao agricultural coll
let us build one. Let the $3,600 :
the Clemson eudowment go to perr.
ate his name. Any progressive co1
will gladly give land unconditional!
build the college on. If the S
must build all the buildings and
five-sixths of all the expenses, let
State run it. Let it bear the narc
the State ; let it Se under the cou tn
the State ; and if the State must al
don the enterprise, let che State's mo
be returned to the State and noi
aliens and strangers.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 14, 188
Senator George created consterna
among the republican of the Set
when he offered an amendment to
very wild bill against trusts which
republicans of the finance commit
had agreed to report to the Senate, m
ing it the duty of the President, wi
satisfied that the price of any artich
merchandise is raised in consequent
agreements or combinations, to issue
proclamation suspending temporal
the collection of import duties on e:
article. This w?s further than the
publican trust-lcving Senators wan
to go, and Senator Hoar unbent bi
self to howl against placing such a v
amount of power in the hands of
President. The people of this coun
had much rather give the power to I
President than to have it wielded by I
thieving trusts as they .are doing nc
Harrison was very unfortunate
having his letter of acceptance come
close to Mr. Cleveland's. It in vii
comparison between the two documen
and the comparison was anything e
than favorable to Harrison. As c
witty Congressman expressed it, *it v
like comparing a tallow dip to an elect
light.' Harrison swallows the wh*
Chicago platform, but it is evident tfc
the 'free whisky' paragraph wc
against the grain, for be apologizes I
saying that there is no likehcod of
adoption for a long time to come. 1
acknowledges that a revision of t
tariff is needed and yet he and the i
publican party are opposing the Mi
bili which only makes a fair revision
the war tariff. In regard to trust
Harrison agrees with the Chicago ph
form and not with Blaine, at least
says he does, but what a Republic
says about trusts must always be tak
with a grain of allowance. Harrisor.
letter is on the whole regarded here
very weak, and is not calculated
gain any votes for his party.
Mr. Cleveland's ringing letter
acceptance has made a tremendous ii
pression here. Many Democrats co
sider it the strongest and best letter
acceptance ever written. It shows M
Cleveland to be firm ia his' intention
having taxation reduced in this counti
to the exteDt necessary to economical
administer the Government.
The House has reduced the appropr
ation for reclaiming the arid regio:
from $250,000 to ?100,000.
The Senate committee on foreig
relations have hung up thc lletaliatic
bill for the present.
Tbe republicans are getting a goc
deal of consolation out cf the fact th;
they succeeded after great efforts i
holding their own in Vermont an
Maine. They will discover in IN o ret;
ber how very foolish they were to thin
of defeating Cleveland on tariff refora
Blackguardism seems to be on the ii
crease among the republicans in th
Senate. The latest offenders ar
Messrs. Blair, Hoar, Spoo^r an
Mitchell.
Senator Quay came over from Nei
York this week to try to persuade th
republican Senators to take his advic
and not attempt to pass a tariff bill c
this session. He has made some ooc
verts, but whether enough is somewhs
doubtful. The impression among thos
who ought to know, is that an at?emp
will be made to* pass thc bill, if "the
can ever succeed in getting it reporte
to the Senate. The time set for ii
report has now gone by. Now the(
say it wiil be reported next week.
A naval emcee is authority for th
statement that the new double turretci
monitor Puritan which is beiug built a
Chester, Pennsylvania, will when com
pleted be able to disable and sink ii
fifteen minutes the strongest iron'dar
afioar. If this be so, about a dozei
Puritans would be good things fo
Uncle Sam to have around.
Senator Keck is seriously ill with ar
affection of the heart. He has by hi
physicians orders been compelled t<
give up his Congressional duties for th<
present ses?ion. His loss will bc severe
ly felt if there is a tariff donate in th?
Senate as he was expected to It-ae
the Democrats in their attack up?
on the Republicans tariff bill. It i?
hoped that perfect rest vriii restore hi.4
health.
The Democrats cf the House will
shortly hold a caucus to determine wha!
action they shall take on the adjourn?
ment question.

A Pier of the Eutaville Railroad
Bridge Washed Away.
VANCE'S, September 14.-Special :
One of the piers of the new bridge of the
Eutawville llailroad, over the Santee
River, was carried away by the freshet
at ll o'clock to-day and the ends of
the spans fell into the river, carrying
with them several loaded cars, which
were placed there to hold the bridge
down. The pier gave way suddenly,
precipitating a number of employees
into the river. Some of them floated
five miles down the stream OD .sticks of
timber. Five as yet are missing, bat
it is hoped that they have been rescued.
The bridge will be replaced at once,
aad the disaster will only temporarily
delay the completion of the road. The
river is still rising one inch per hour,
and is within a few inches of the high
water mark of th? Sherman freshet of
1866.
An Independent Candidate in
Oconee.
We had heard it rumored that Dr.
Fahnstock was an independent candi?
date for the Senate from this County.
We saw him Tuesday night at the
Coleman Hotel, and asked him if the
report was true. He stated that he
was a candidate and would make the
race ; that he thought the last primary
was not fairly held, and much dissatis?
faction had sprung np.-Seneca Fret

What every woman wants is a magazine
that gives the latest fashion-news, first-class
fiction, and fine engravings. This is exactly
what can be said for "Peterson"; any lady
has oniy to glauce over the October number
to see that it is a real treasury of feminine
needs. It is replete with beautiful steel and
wood engravings, capital stories, good poetry,
and useful articles on miscellaneous subjects.
It gives, as usual, a double-size steel fashion
plate, beautifully colored, numerous designs
for dress and toilet-articles, and bas, besides,
plenty of reliable information a3 to what will
be worn later ia the season. There i3 no
doubt that "Peterson's" popularity steadily
increases ; and it ought to do so, for it comes
out each month as fresh and blooming as a
first number could, in spite of the fact that it
has been doing this for nearly fifty years.
This is the time for hidies to begin getting up
clubs. "Peterson's" inducements to club
getters are always tempting ; but the pre?
miums announced for next vear are finer and
more numerous tbau ever. Send for a sam?
ple-copy. Tefpis; Two Dollars a year. Ad?
