To the Editor of The News and
Courier: In August 1886. I attended
0 Joint meeting of the South Carolina
Agricultural Society and State Orange
at Bennettevllle. 8. C. In Marlboro
County, as a delegate from the Edge
fteld Agricultural Society. The de?
pressed condition of agriculture In
South Carolina at the time, with the
mil nigh bankrupt condition of s
large majority >i the farmer*, includ?
ing myself, had caused me to think
very deeply on the subject of farming
aa It was then conducted in our State.
i had begun the active prsctice an.',
atudy of agriculture In 18611. and had
mads money up to 1881, but the lands
which i was cultivating wer?) hilly and
easily washed, snd It became very
evident to me that our whole scheme
of agriculture was wrong. The lack
of rotation and the constant plowing
of the soli?leaving It bate to the
winter rains, could only result In final
end complete Impoverishment, on
hilly lands, with resulting pauperism
t > the land owners.
Knowing that 1 had dcvoted my
best thought and energy tc agricul?
ture aa a pursuit, I realised there was
a lack of proper training In my own
education, which had been cut short
by the war; and while I was far bet?
ter advanced than many college grad?
uates i was woefully Ignorant In many
essentlaI? relating to stock raising and
the cultivation of the soil as a means
of a livelihood. I arrived at the con?
clusion that we needed In So ah Car?
olina a different system to that in
vogue, and above all the young men
aad women of the State should be
trained Industrially, keeping the fact
In vlow, that the head alone could not
supply the body, but that the hands
aad ryes as well aa the Intellect must
be trained together for the best re
gejlts. I believed tho fslse system of
gartaintf which our people had been
'Vettewlng must be changed. If there
'Wag to be eny Improvement In the
gfoenetal condition of the agricultural
mosses. i offered resolutions In the
meeting advocating the establishment
of a department of the South Car >
Una University for this purpose. I
Suade e speech In support of the reso?
lution which attracted widespread at?
tention at the time and which met
the enthusiastic approval of a great
majority of the farmers pre sen
Marlboro at that time, as It Is now.
was In the very forefront of progres?
sive agriculture In the State. The
resolutions were voted down by the
delegates and I returned home very
angry and much dlsguested.
Having failed to obtain the support
of the then leading farmers of the
8tate who were at the head of the
Orange, the State Agricultural De?
partment, and the State Agricultural
Society. I set to work to map out a
scheme for consummating the pur?
poses I had been advocating. To-wit.
the establishment of a technical and
Industrial school In South Carolina
and began the discussion of the ques?
tion In the columns of The News and
Courier In a series of letters advocat?
ing a seiarate agricultural and me?
chanical college. Puller Investigation
and study had tauscht me that the
jelnlng of an agricultural annex to
an'older literary university had prov?
en a failure In almost every case
where tried In the I'nlted States. The
Michigan Agricultural College, at
Lansing, and the Mississippi Agr cul?
tural College, at Starkvllle. were so
far In advance of any of the other
h) t rid Institutions, that I appealed
wlto all the power I possessed for the
founding of a similar institution lr?
N.-uih Carolina.
My letters In The News and Cou:
ler. written November and December.
1SI?, received the endorsment of
many hundreds of men from all over
the State whom I had aevi t sc en.
wrote me to i ige me; and
the result was calling a Kamu-rv con?
vention to ensemble In Columbia, to
take Into consideration the wb??'<?
question of the manag* merit of the
fgrlcultur.il department and the hel?
le-men t of the farming Interests. Tbl?
fetvtention met In April. 18H6, and
was attended by over two hundred
delegates. A state organization
formed, of which Capt. <?. W. Shell
of Iaiurens. was made progUgSt, and
1 was elected chairman of the ex- < u
ttve committee.
Agitation for Separate College Take
rVorm.
The saltation for a separate ggrl
cultural college thvis look form and
the demur) I for It grew In volume.
The people .if South Carolina w n
always eager politicians and It Is al?
most Impossible to start any mw99i
merit for a:iy purpose now Into which
po.itics will not eater sooner or Ister.
So far as I was individually concern?
ed there was no polities In this organt
zatitn, but realizing that the legisla?
ture alone could act, and that we
could accomplish nothing except with
tbe co-operation and assistance of the
-State government, the movement nat?
urally drifted into politics. At the
same time there was a strong current
of feeling looking towards reform In
political conditions, which were un?
healthy because of great dissatisfac?
tion among the people, who believed
that there was a "Ring ' in the State,
in complete control of our politics,
and disposed to ignore the common
people or masses, and to direct and
control affairs from headquarters in i
Charleston and Columbia. The News
and Courier at that time under the
brilliant editorship of F. W. Dawson,
was the leading newspaper In the
state, and, In a way, the most potent
factor in our public affairs. This con- I
.dltlon therefore resulted In a dlsor-1
ganlzed movement, by the farmers to
control the Democratic State conven?
tion, which was to meet In July, 1886,
for the nomination of State officers I
Governor Thompson had resigned to I
.ccept a place In the treasury under I
Mr. Cleveland, and Lieut. Gov. J. C. I
Sheppard had succeeded to the gov-1
ernor's office, and was naturally a I
candidate to succeed himself as noml- ]
nee of the Democratic convention. He I
Was opposed by the Hon. John P.
Richardson, who had been slated for
the place by the political clique
which we had come to consider as I
the "Ring."
The prominence into which I haJ
sprung, by accident rather than de-1
sign, caused those of my friends in I
various parts of the State, who were
supporting my demand fcr technical I
and Industrial education, to expect me
to take a leading part In the struggle
for the governor's office. I was en-1
tlrely green and wholly lacking In ex-1
pcrience as a manager of political I
forces, but I lent what support I could
command to my former school fellow
and friend, J. C. Sheppard, a citizen
of my own County of Edgefield. He
In a way war. os closely aligned with
what was called tbe Ring aa Richard
son, and was so considered; but Rich-1
ordson opposed the Agricultural Col
lege, while Sheppard promised to sup
port the Idea, and this, together with I
his own popularity, gave him a very I
atrong vote, but not enough to pre
vent Richardson's success, and he wr.s? 1
nominated by the convention. The!
Ring thus triumphed.
The Legislature which was elected I
was u'Bo antagonistic to the separate I
college Ides, hut the current of feel-1
lag was so strong that the politicians I
who were In control of our Stato af-1
fairs felt compelled to do something. I
with the result that the State Unlvei
s'.ty was broadened to embrace an I
agricultural and mechanical c iun*e. I
llu- veiy thing which I had advocated!
at Bennettaville, and which had been 1
disdainfully rejected by the Influence*!
which controlled the Bennettaville I
meeting.
The original land script fund de-1
signed for agricultural and mechanl-1
ce' education under Act of Congress]
of 1812, had already been donated I
one-half to the South Carolina Uni-1
verslty and the other half to the Claf- J
Im University, and the Hatch fund of |
fifteen thousand dollars, domited fort
experimental purposes by the United I
States, was also given to that College.
An officer of the United States' navy*, j
L<eut. J. R. Edwards, was detailed toj
establish and teach the mechanical
coarse. His department was installed I
In the large brick building southwest I
of the S. C. C. campus, known as I
science hall. I will say In passing
that Mr. Edwards was a very worthy j
and competent man, and as far as I
could be done, made a fine start In I
teaching the mechanic arts, but there j
were none or few indications of any J
change In the curriculum or develop?
ment of the agricultural side in the
University. Lands were purchased
for experiment south of the city and j
two other experiment stations were
established, one nt Spartanburg and
one at Darlington. The farmers ad?
vocated a separate college, with one
i Npt rlment station at It. supported by J
:ne twenty-five cents tag tax on fer?
tilizers. The establishment of three
separate experiment stations and the
pgrlcultural annex to the University
e
gave the opponents of the Agrlonl?
tural College mvat satisfaction, as
they believe*' that they had oouipletely
hood-winked the people and ?UCOeSS'

I 0< Hted the separate s< honl.

Mr. i n 111 ui it Meets Mr. Clenisoit.
I was ii'.iied to make ipSSOhOd in a
great many counties of the State 10
which 1 hod 'never been and as op?
portunity offered I accepted these and
made eddrtsses, thus expanding my
acquaintance and knowledge of con
dltlons throughout the State, and 'n
creasing the number of supporters of
the Farmers* College Idea. Among
those who had been reading the pa?
pers and thus became tamiliar with
the subject, was Mr. Thomas G. Clem
son, who was then living the life of
a recluse at Fort Hill, Calhoun's Oil1
home. As I afterwards learned upon
visiting Mr. Clemson at his requesr,
he had long had in mind the necessity
fDr the State to do something hi the
interest of industrial and scientific
education, and on the occasion of that
visit I went to Pendleton In the fall
of 1896, was met by Mr. Clemson in
his carriage, and carried to his his?
toric home, "Fort Hill," where I
spent the night.
I wish I had the faculty of describ?
ing the appearance of things at the
old home of John C. Calhoun as It
then appeared and contrasting it with
what appears at Clemson College to?
day.
Col. D. K. Norrls, who had been
one of my strongest supporters in the
advocacy of a separate Agricultural
College, and Col. R. W. Simpson me*
me at Mr. Clemson's (being invited
bv him to dinner,) and the four of us
spent nearly the whole day in talk?
ing over the new project, which Mr.
C'emson had in mind, and which he
unfolded to us. At that time Mr.
Clemson had made a will which !??
showed me, In which the scheme was
outlined, to make of Fort Hill a sort
o! Mount Vernon, a place of pilgrim?
age for those who admired and loved
John C. Calhoun and his pollcal ideas.
Col. James Rlon, of Winnsboro, as 1
remember, was the trustee, with a
board of ladles as regents, to be
chosen by Mrs. Rlon, to direct and
control the property, and take care
of It in perpetuity.
Mr. Clemson talked over this
scheme with me and mentioned his
desire to establish a technical and in?
dustrial school such as I had been
advocating, and gave that as an ex?
planation as to why he had invited
me to visit him. His ideas were not
clear or well denned as to which
course he would pursue, but the
thought of a great agricultural and
technical Institution grew on him.
Such was my conviction of the
strength of ? the agricultural college
Idea thai I felt willing to guarantee
cept the property and begin the work
of building a college in his life time
should he make the donation at once,
and I recall begging him to have his
last years brightened and made hap?
py watching the consummation of his
cherished plan; but he waa the most
suspicious man in regard to lawyers
and the dangers of getting involved
in lawsuits I have ever met, and noth?
ing we could say made any impres?
sion on him to take immediate action.
Put he did accept our suggestion in
regard to what disposition he should
make of his property at his death,
and we talked the whole matter over,
Col. Simpson making memoranda, as
he was requested to write the will and
bring It to Mr. Clemson at his earliest
convenience.
Messrs. Simpson and Norrls joined
with me in urging him to change his
will, so as to carry out this new pur?
pose, the same I had been advocating
as they were so nearly similar that
there were only slight differences as
to details.
Reasons for Life Trustee Plan.
Having In view the possible danger
of the negroes, who are so largely in
the majority in our State, at some
time getting control of the State gov?
ernment, we suggested the scheme of
seven trustees, who would be self
perpetuating, and thus make It im?
possible for an adverse legislature to
shipwreck the College, or make it a,
school to which negroes would be ad?
mitted.
Another reason which our recent
experience with the legislature mad"
us urge the life trustee idea Strongly,
was the fear that a board wholly con?
trolled by political inlluences might
warp and twist the College from It
purpose and finally cause it to drift
back to the ordinary literary type.
We were anxious to k.-ep down the
l.tnuer of negro domination Of the
school and at the game time to pre?
vent the prostitution of the institu?
tion to ends not intended o\ it
founder. None of the iij> trueteei
were known to Mr. Clemson. except
the three men who were then advising
with him. c.ds. Simpson and Stnrrls
living in the neighborhood were well
known to him. M. L Donaldson,
John ES, Wann imaker and J. E, Brad?
ley, all of whom had been pr ?mlnenl
M the agitation for nn agricultural
college, were suggested and accepted
b) Mr, clemson, and Col. Bowcn, I
piomlnenl farmer of Plckens Coun?
ty, whom i had never seen, was the
seventh man,
it Is well to nots the i" rsonnel ol
the ?u iginal seven lit'. membi i e an i
t< remember thai at thai time there
weir no factional differences In tin
state, it happened In th?> alignment
In lS??o three of these nun. were my
supporters and three Were not, and It
is worth remembering that in fining
vacancies caused by death among the
lite trustees since that one Reformer
Carolina would ac
and two Conservatives have been
chosen.
Xo political influences or feelings
were considered or involved ,in the se?
lection of trustees then or since, and
while at times there have been tome
political differences among the seven
life trustees, I do not feel that I am
speaking too strongly to say that no
one of the seven has ever allowed his
political bias to influence him in the
slightest in any action affecting the
College or its organization and man?
agement. Those who are trying to
inject politics into its management
now are no friends to it and never
have been.
The establishment of the Agricul?
tural and Mechanical Annex in Co?
lumbia and two experiment stations
had caused the separate school agita?
tion to die down, but it was only
smouldering. The fire was not extin?
guished. The Farmers' Movement As?
sociation continued to hold Its annual
meetings, and reiterate Its demands.
Mr. Clemson's will had become
noised around among the leaders and
his death, April 6, 1S88, with the
knowledge that there was a large
plantation and $60,000 in cash for the
purpose for which we have been
striving, was the signal for reviving
the demand of the farmers for a sep?
arate College in full vigor.
In the meantime another State
Democratic convention had been held
in 1888, in which the battle between
the farmers and the "Ring" was re?
newed; the people were becoming
aroused to the necessity of political
organization and control of the Dem
pcratic clubs. The Court House rings
found their hitherto undisputed sway
Jeopardized in many counties and ov?
erthrown in many others, 30 that in
the convention of 1883 nothing pre?
vented Richardson's defeat, except
the fact that the man whom we had
chosen to oppose him, Joseph H.
Earle, was under pledge to support
Richardson's renomination, and his
name was withdrawn after the bal?
loting began by his own brother, one
of the delegates from Greenville.
Nevertheless we came within a dos-1
en votes of a victory, without even I
having a candidate. The struggle then
turned to the control of the legisla?
ture, and In the primaries the oppos?
ing factions were aligned, over the
question of accepting or refusing to
accept the Clemson bequest. It might
as well be understood that the friends
and supporters of the South Carolina
College and Citadel, the two then ex
sltlng State institutions of learning,
were bitterly opposed to the separate
Agricultural College idea, seeming to
fear that It would result In the death
of these two Institutions.
Denominational Antagonism.
Another explicable source of antag?
onism arose among the friends of the
denominational colleges, who argued
that a school, such as we advocated,
would inevitably militate against the
support of those Institution*. 4They
gavo as a reason that the University
being better equipped and of a broad?
er type than the denominational col?
leges, was sufficient, and declared
there was no need for another State
College. They had attacked the
South Carolina University after the
overthrow of the carpet bag govern?
ment In 1876, clamoring again:,: free
tuition, but were unable to prevent
its being reorganized and reopened.
They lelt that as the proposed Agri?
cultural College was intended mainly
to teach poor boys along practical
lines, It would prevent many students
from attending denominational*, col?
leges and thus destroy them. Tht
"lUng" hnvUtgjg large number of the
ni ld-over senators, the victory fo?* th?
acceptance of the Clemson bequest,
by the General Assembly was a diffi?
cult thing to achieve, and the deciding
rote for the bill which had passed the
House, yeas. 67; nays. 48. was cast
in the Senate In behalf of the accept?
ance of the Clemson bequest by Lieut.
Guv. Mauldin. It is well to state here
that after the bequest was accepted
by the Legislature Gov. Richardson
withheld his approval by what Is
known as a "pocket veto," thus pre?
venting any action, looking (to work
on the proposed new College for two
years. The eeven life trustees had
met at*Pendleton shortly after Mr.
Clemson'a death, had organized, Big
nifi? d their acceptance of the trust In
legal form and set about getting th?
,-state into such sh ine is to take the
necessary action to carry out Mr.
Memson's purpose, with or without
?utte aid.
The progress of the struggle for
mastery between the two contending
Ideas ol education, was watched with
hop concern by all parties interested
in public affairs In the state, and It
became evident thai the choice of
Governor Rlcttardson's successor
would cause a bitter tight, it had
hten the purpose and work of the
??Ring" to excite distrust of the Re?
ft l iners and to cause timid people t I
t.e very much alarmed over what was
proclaimed as the Impending effort to
"spilt the Democratic party," though
the friends ot the Agricultural College
always stood by the Democratic party
organisation In every county. # ind
when beaten as they were In 's?; ind
'ss, they had moved to make the
nominations ununlmous and smilingly
informed their antagonists that they
w ? uid try again.
The movement for the College had
by this time broadened into many
lines of reform in State affairs, and
the agitation which had acted as a
tonic, coupled with the organization
of the Alliance, had taught the farm?
ers their strength, as well as rights
and the means of accomplishing their
purposes.
11 is not my purpose nor is it neces?
sary to enter into any details concern?
ing the hot and bitter political fight in
South Carolina in 1890. The Agricul?
tural College was one of the burning
issues In that campaign and the sig?
nal triumph of the people with the
transfer of all tne funds donated by
the United States government to
Clemson College, the abolition of the
agricultural department, and the do?
nation of the privilege tax to Clemson
for agricultural and technical educa?
tion are all of too recent occurrence
to need recapitulation here. The great
vork which the College has done is
not denied by any one; and Its future
usefulness is sure in spite of the op
uostion of its old enemies, who seek
t:> undermine and injure it, while pre?
tending to be its friends. I would
not have written this story to be pub
"ished at this time, leaving It to see
the light after I am dead, but the ac?
tive agitation now going on in the
St its caused me to feel that it is my
duty to recall some facts which the
young generation are unacquainted
with. They will interest all our peo?
ple.
The legal status of Clemson College
is well defined and understood by ev
cry intelligent lawyer in the State. Th
agitation for the change in this condi?
tion has no good reason for its exist?
ence, and the friends of the College
will see to it that neither old or new
enemies do it any injury.

FOUND NEGRO IN BED ROOM.
Chester Citizen Foils Daring Attempt
At Robbery.
Chester, June 22.?Monroe Mills,
colored, is in jail on the charge of en?
tering the home of Mr. John Woodle,
on the Springstein Hill, yesterday
morning at an early hour. When
discovered he had made his way into
the bed room of Mr. and Mrs. Woodle,
and when the latter aroused her hus?
band Mills darted under the bed. Mr.
Woodle jumped out of bed and, while
he was striking a light, Mills jumped
out of the window and made off in
the darkness.
The authorities were summoned at
once and Officer Williams, Sheriff Cor
vlr and Deputy Sheriff Dye were soon
on the scene. They had with them
the hound that is kept at the county
jail for trailing criminals, the dog be?
ing put on the scent and trailing Mills
out into the yard, but dropping the
trail at this point. There was no way
to Identify the criminal, it seemed, as
he had made his escape before a light
could be struck, and Mrs. Woodle had
had only a fleeting look at him. How?
ever, he had dropped his hat and a
pint of liquor while scrambling
around on the floor, and these helped
to effect his capture. Officer Williams
was on guard around the premises
about 8 o'clock, when Mills came
along, with his eyes on the ground, as
if looking for something. Mr. Wil?
liams asked what he was looking for,
and he replied that he had lost his
hat. Mr. Williams told him that
there was a headpiece at the police
station which might possibly be his.
Mills accepted the Invitation an'd, on
leaching the station and seeing the
hat, readily said that it was his and
started off. He was then placed un?
der arrest and sent down to the coun?
ty jail to await trial on the very se?
rious charge of burglary. He denies
his guilt, hut there is every reason to
believe that he is the guilty man.
There was a great deal of feeling
yesterday in certain quarters over
Mills' outrageous action, and it is hop?
ed that he will receive the full limit of
the law. He Is a big. black, burly ne?
gro, and Is said to be a cocaine fiend

KR. CADETS INVENTION.
May Kcvolutionizc Tw|H oXlIng?Will
Very Likely Sii|x-r<cde the Lin**
typt) Machine.
Is the lino*?;* machine soon to t
come a back number? Undoubt*1iy
If will if Rev. Baylus Cade, of North
Carolina, is not wrong in his expecta?
tions of the type-setting machine
which he has invented. Reference to
the machine has been made by a
number of papers, but details have
been rather vague. The Chronicle is?
now able to supply these and to give
a general idea of what Mr. Cade's
typesetter will do. The claims may
seem rather broad, but it must be re?
membered that when the linotype
machine was being conceived, the in?
ventor was told that he was a dream?
er. We have always held that the
linotype machine, wonderful as it is,
is really a crude machine and is des?
tined to be superceded by a simpler,
more perfect and cheaper machine.
Is the honor of Inventing the succes?
sor to the linotype to fall to a North
Carolina man? It is quite within the
range of possibility, as a study of a
few points would indicate.
Mr. Cade's type-setter is not run by
power. Two men can carry it anil
place it at any point desired as easily
a3 they would handle an office desk.
It Is operated by a small air compres?
sor.
It will set any face of type from
nonpariel to job display. The opera?
tor can read and correct the line be?
fore it is cast. There is no cumber?
some and complex machinery for the
return of the matrices. They are
turned automatically. The machine
can be sold for $500, which will place
it within the reach of newspaper pub?
lishers all over the country.
I Mr. Cade is a machinist from youth
He has been working on this inven?
tion for a period of twenty years. Bis?
first machine is now being built irj
Philadelphia and will be completed
and given a test within three months
It has been inspected and approved by
the best mechanical experts in the
country, who say that it win do what
is claimed for it. We are drawing?
this much from a conversation we'
had with Mr. Cade this morning!
Much that he said was not for the?
public print at this time. Did' we feel
privileged to say more, we might in-8
spire greater faith in this invention.
It was suggested to Mr. Cade that it
he has what he says he has, he will
die a millionaire. His response, was
that money-making was his last
thought. He is working for the good
of humanity, for in giving tb the
world a type-setter of the character
which he invented, he would certain?
ly be conferring a blessing on the
whole people. We believe that a pa?
per in Shelby, his home town, is tt>
have the honor of making the first
run on his new machine. Mr. Cade
and the machinists who have passed
on his invention may find themselvesr
mistaken in the expected performances;
of the machine, but in case they kit it
right, we may look for a slump in
Mergenthaler stock. The next few
months will tell the tale.?Charlotte
