@KAYo VS.. UNIVERSITY.


@KAY" VS.. UNIVERSITY.
In those days the 0bsever sent
forth man named ..Kay, "(so-calledl
armed with authority to put to death
all the Universities, (so-calledY' of
four years old and under. Selah!
"Kay' is opposed to the State
University, ..so-called.' '.Kay" is in
love with the denominational col
ieges he is, undoubtedly. s'Kay
writes for the Observer.
I'll bet "Kay" don't know why
the Legislature re-opened the Uni
versity.
I'll bet "Kay" don't know that
the State constitution directs that
the Legislature shall maintain the
u, ,rsity, and that every member
of the Legislature has to swear that
he will support the Constitution. =.
I'll bet "Kay" don't know that, in
1852, Congress granted the State
$191,800 worth of land scrip, on
condition that it should remain a
permanent fund and the interest
should be used to keep open an
agricultural college in the State !;
and required the State to bind itself
to make good that amount if it was
lost, or used for any other pur-
pose.
I'll bet "Kay" don't know that, in
1868, the Legislature did accept the
gift on the terms proposed by Con-
gress, and did solemnly bind the
State to make good the S191,S00,
if it was lost, or used for any other
purpose than maintaining the col
lege.
I'll bet aKay'' don't know that
financial agent Kimpton pawned the
scrip, for general State purposes,
and the Radicals never redeemed it.
I'll bet ..Kay" don't know that in
1879, the Democratic Legislature
issued $191,800 worth of certificates
of State stock, to take the place of
the land scrip, in order that the
plighted faith Of South Carolina
might be kept inviolate.
I'll bet ''Kay" don't know that
the University gets $1,000 a year,
as interest on the land scrip.
I'll bet stKay'' don't know that as
| soon as the $1,000 interest is with.
held by the State, or he puts the
University to death, debt Of one
hundred and ninety-one thousand
| eight hundred dollars will be sad
died upon the people, and the State
will be in honor bound to pay it.
I'll bet it is better to pay $4,000
| year for while, than to shoulder
a debt of $191,800.
| I'll bet if 'Kay' does know these
things, he don't let the people know
| them-no, not he.
I'll bet the University was not
hurt by the shells of Sherman, and
can't be knocked over by paper
wads from 50 calibre pop gun.
I'll bet man has to pay taxes
on 81 900 worth of property before
he pays a dime to support the Uni
versity.
I'll bet "Kay' can't tel! how
member of the Legislature can swear
to support the Constitution and,
after that, vote against the Univer'
sity, without perjuring himself.
I'll bet "Kay" would rather be
Auditor, and assess other peoples
property, than pay taxes on his
own.
I'll bet I don't know how many
denominational colleges 'Kay" is
sustaining this year-no don't
do'you?
I'll bet :.Kay'' is so public spirit.
ed that he don't care ''cuss" fol
the education of other peoples chill
dren.
Pll bet the University benefits
the IS boys that sKay" thinks ought
to be in the UNCONVENTIONAL col
leges.
I'll bet if a poor lad can't go to
a UNCONVENTIONAL college for less
than S20e year, but can go to the
$50 called University for $90a year
the $50 called" benefits that lad.
I'll bet .Kay's" opinion (among
those who know him) is worth about
as much as that of the miller Of
Dee, :.who cared for nobody-no
| not he. and nobody cared for he
I'll bet e:Kay'' is as unselfsh as
the old codger who had more com
pany than he cared for at dinner
and said a new grace: 30 Lord.
bless me an my wife-my son
Ben. F. an his Wife-us fo' an nc
mo-. Ament'
I'll tell you what l will bet-Tll
bet small change--Pll bet as mnch
as "Kay. is now paying each
year for the support of the Uni,
versity, and as much as he ever
has paid for the support of denomi,
national colleges. If l lose, I'll
have dollar changed, and pay up,
l will-you bet your sweet life, !
will. Yours 0. K.
