SamCarter, could you help me with this table as well? For consistency. I can't manage to get the first line of the title, where it says "table 2: etc" using the \centering command.

for your second question (added later at editing first one) is not clear what is the problem. with your code with very small changes i obtain the following result:

\documentclass[twocolumn]{article}

\usepackage{booktabs, makecell, tabularx}
\renewcommand\theadfont{\normalsize}
\renewcommand\theadgape{}
\setcellgapes{2pt}
\newcolumntype{L}{>{\raggedright\arraybackslash}X}
\usepackage{caption}

    \setlength\tabcolsep{4pt}
    \small
    \makegapedcells

    \toprule

            &  \thead[l]{CEO\\

                                            compensation\\

    \end{table}
\end{document}

note: it is sufficient to load packages only once -:)

edit: formatting/appearance of cation is independent to positioning of figure/table. with the package caption is controlled by \captionsetup.

default settings is the following:
- if the caption's text is narrower than column width (at two column document) or text width (at one column document) than it is centered
- if the text is wider, than it is formatted as standard paragraph
in case, that you like to have left aligned also the single caption's text, then you should do the following:
- in cases that this should be at all caption in your document, than load caption as:
\usepackage[singlelinecheck=false]{caption}
- in the case if this is desired only at one table/figure than after \begin{table} or `begin{figure} add
\captionsetup{singlelinecheck=false}
- in the case, that this settings should valid only for all tables (and not for figures), you should ad in document's preable
\captionsetup[table]{singlelinecheck=false}
in the both aforementioned cases the caption text, if it is longer than column/text width is formatted as standard paragraph.
if you like to have in this cases centered last line of caption's text, than you need add to caption optionscenterlast`
for all possibilities of caption settings you should read package documentation. it is part of your latex installation

assuming that you like to have at all captions (i) size of the caption font small, (ii) caption label font bold, (iii) only one line text aligned left and longer caption's text formatted as standard paragraph, then you load caption as:

\usepackage[font=small,
            labelfont=bf,
            singlelinecheck=no]{caption}

and your caption will looks as:

and at longer caption text:

revised mwe consider above description can be:

I suggest a different approach, not using a tabular structure; the \linefill command in the example below is a modification of the same command from the exam document class; it fills the vertical space of height given as its argument with the pattern of horizontal lines declared by \linefill. You use a minipage with fixed height h for the header and then you symply use \linefill{\textheight-h} to fill the page with the pattern; the vertical separation between lines can be changed by using the length \linefillheight (initially set to 1cm):

\documentclass{article}

\newlength\linefillheight % vertical distance between lines
\setlength\linefillheight{1cm}

\newlength\wcolone %first column width
\setlength\wcolone{\dimexpr.25\textwidth-4mm\relax}
\newlength\wcoltwo %second column width
\setlength\wcoltwo{.5\textwidth}
\newlength\wcolthree % third column width
\setlength\wcolthree{\dimexpr.25\textwidth-4mm\relax}

\newcommand\linefill{\leavevmode
    \rule{\wcolone}{0.4pt}\hspace*{4mm}\rule{.50\textwidth}{0.4pt}\hspace*{4mm}\rule{\dimexpr.25\textwidth-4mm\relax}{0.4pt}}

\makeatletter
\def\fillwithlines#1{%
  \begingroup
  \ifhmode
    \par
  \fi
  \hrule height 0pt
  \nobreak
  \cleaders\hbox to \hsize{\hskip \@totalleftmargin
          \vrule height \linefillheight depth 0pt width 0pt
          \linefill} \vskip #1 \hbox{}%
  \endgroup}
\makeatother


\begin{document}

\noindent\begin{minipage}[c][1cm][t]{\textwidth}
\section{Sign on sheet}
\parbox{\dimexpr\wcolone+4mm\relax}{\textbf{Date}}%
\parbox{\dimexpr\wcoltwo+4mm\relax}{\textbf{Name}}%
\parbox{\wcolthree}{\textbf{Signature}}

[Tex/LaTex] Fitting table to half of the page using template

Replace first row of your table with:

\begin{tabularx}{\columnwidth}{@{}c L S[table-format=7.0]*{2}{S[table-format=2.0]}@{}}

Result will be something like this:

Edit: Slightly better result you will obtain with:

\begin{table}[htb]
\centering
\setlength{\tabcolsep}{2pt}
\small
\begin{tabularx}{\columnwidth}{@{}c L S[table-format=7.0]*{2}{S[table-format=2.0]}@{}}

    \thead{ID}  &   \thead{UCI Dataset Name}
    &   {\thead{Samples\\(num.)}}
    &   {\thead{Attributes\\(num.)}}
    &   {\thead{Classes\\(num.)}}           \\
    \midrule
