Justices Rejoinder to Subscriber.

Mn. EDITOR. .--"Subscrtbcr' in the Times of
July, asks if Justice has read some articles 5
| recently published in the News and Courier
written by different gentlemen (namny them)
| against the South Carolina College. Justice
hos read the articles written by the several gen.
| tlemen, excert the one written by Major
| Steedman of Darlington have never seen
the article published by that gentleman
Subscriber Is very bally mistaken when he
| says that they have conducted to logical
| conclusion with fDrcc and effect, showing the
| injustice of the State giving free tuitiou" etc.
In reply l ask Subscriber" if he has read the
powerful and eloquent letter of DR.. J. H..
ThN---..--n--i--i---- --------;---------,-,----J~
| ago and republished ia the Ncws and Courier q
few days since, in defense of the South Carolina
College: Has he read the telling argument
of that learned lawyer Hon. C. II. Simonton?
Has he read the argument Of that eminent
jurist Hon. Henry McIver: Has he read the
eloquent speech of Rev. Ellison Capers, in de.
fense of the South Carolina College? These
gentlemen have shown truthfully and clearly
that it is just and right that The State should
give free tuition in the South Carolina College,
and that it was. and is poor mans college
Subscriber" asks why l did not write
SlT, 800 instead of"a few cents"
In "Subscriber's" first article he says that
ecery tax paying citizen shonll consider "why
do our legislators continue to lay upon us the
burden of supporting the South Carolina Col.
lege! And in reply asked. sis it burden to
pay few cents" My meaning was evident to
LII.
was burden for tcery tax-paying citizen to
pay few cents. But Subscriber no doubt
thought he could weaken my position before
the readers Of the TINES, by using the aggre-
gate amount paid by the whole State, 1880
1t certainly looks rs if Subscribers" com.
pretending powe RS were very mengro
lie says "the profess,rs', trustees, patrons
and friends of our various other colleges ure
compelled TO give their money to throw open
the doors Of the South Carolina College free of
tuition.
In reply ask him il man sends his son to
Wofford College, for instance, aud pays his tn.
ition, while minister senls his SON to the same
institution, and has no tuition to pay, doesn't
the former have TO help pay the tuition of the
latter?
will not notice his .'gnssing' in relation
to the South Carolina College not being q poor
mans college. for think have amply proved
to all fair minded mon that il is q poor mans
college.
Subscriber also says that any student
wh' is proficient in any one class in Wof,rd.
can enter the sane class a. Columbia Hiqh
School, but not at the South Carolina College, |
- am informed by u truthful student Of the |
college.
"Suhscriber' has attempted to display his |
sarcasm, but he ha, utterly f,iIel ou every |
hand. listen to what that profound scholar |
and theologian, DR.. Thornwell, whose name |
and fame is universal, said "Would YOU
make any common wealth unit? Educate its |
sons together" y LET us have u col
lege which is worthy ofthe name, TO which we
can invite the scholars Of Europe with an hon.
est pride. and to which our children my re-
pair from all our borders, n, the State, Of
Greece to their Oiymphia, or the chosen tribes
20 Mount Zion. How beautiful it is for breth.
.ren 10 dwell together in unity"
