The State University.

The State University.
As We find there are a number of unfounded
reports; circulated through the county con-
ccrning the acdon of the last Legislature in
making an appropriation and clecting Board
of Trustees for the State University, VIC are
glad to be able 70 contradict those reports and
at tho sa4s tne give tho people true state
meat of tlsSV Ne rietter.
In speech 10 tho people of. Chester, on the
Sd Of this month, Mr.. J.aJ. Hemphill, one Of
theablest rs woll as most Independent men in the
State, spd who was . representative from that
county u the last Lsgislat1ro, said:
With regard to reopening the State Universi-
ty and making an annPpropriation for this pur-
pose. Mr.. Hemphilt said he would state at the
outset that this question had been raised TO d'pide
the Democrats, so that some men might run INTO
office. This he knew to be true, for the man
who raisettthis question said so. He had been
charged with voting for an appropriation OF
$40, 900 or SAC, 900 for the University. He had
already publicly contradicted this; he had vo-
ted for an appropriation, Of So, 100 to save tho
buildings, die property Of the State, from inju-
ry, and pay the salary of the librarian. Hav-
ing disposed of this RSehoed, here comes an
other, via, that ho would vote for nm appropri-
alton Of $40, 900, some say $4,000, at the next
Legislature. why dldn tney make IL SooO,-
600? While they were telling a lie they might
rs well haSetoff awhopper. Ho wrote short
time ago to foE Simonton, prominent member
| of the boar of trustees, inquiring what was
proposed, md the answer he received was that
the trustees had no definite plan but one thing
was ceriain-no appropriation would be asked
for.
Thus II will be seen that no appropriation was
made for the State University by the Inst legis-
lature, except what was actually necessary to
pay insurance upon the valuable buildings, to
give small salary to person to take charge Of
the largo and valuable library, which cost the
State md by thousand dollars to collect, and to
protect Do property from encroachment and van
dalism. And further, there will be ono appro-
priation Sskcd for"
