". That Congress be memorializ-
ed to pass the Bill introduced by Nh.
Hatch, now pending, which will Sc
cure for this purpose, $4,000 to each
State.
V. That, if the money be appro-
priated, we profess against its going
into the hands of the present Trustees
of .he South Carolina College; they,
having no faith in industrial colleges,
Judged by past actions, every dollar
given thus is wasted. Honesty Of
purpose accredited, but lawyers and
professional men not proper persons
to manage an Agricultural College.
VI. That our Agricultural Admin
istration be widely divided from pol
itics, in order that a Board may be
secured and made up of Jealous and
efficient members, wLo know our
wants and will try to supply them.
That the Board be chosen by a con-
vention composed of delegates from
county agricultural societies. The
Board to have the power to elect its
own executive officer or secretary,
whose duties would correspond with
the present commissioner, and IN ad-
dition with the Board, to have con-
troll of the Agricultural College and
experimental stations; and should al
so endeavor to keep alive the County
organizations for farmers clubs.
VII. That in order to obtain the
funds to sustain the college after the
State shall have given enough to buy
the farm and erect the necessary
buildings, it is recommended that the
privilege tax on the sale of fertilizers
be doubled, and with the Landscrlp
fund, would make $55, ZOO. This with
the small indirect tax on guanos
would be sufficient.
VIII. That the present laws for IN
specting fertilizers are unsatisfactory,
and no adequate remedy is provided to
punish fraud. That sufficient lesls-
lation be had to meet this defect,
without imposing unnecessary res
traints upon the manufacture and sale
of fertilizers.
TX. That the Citadel Academy be
abolished as military school, and
that so much of the money appropr1-
ated to its use, as may be needed,
shall be given to the South Carolina
College, so as to make it 6rst-class
institution for training young men
for the professions and literature. A
small tuition fee should be charged
those entering there, but the trustees
should be allowed to admit those un-
able to pay, free of charge.

and practical education for the girls
of the State, be opened in the Citadel
Academy building; and the same be
literally supported by public funds.

them introduced in the next General
Assembly, carrying out the spirit and
purpose of these resolutions; and
further, that the said committee shall
go to Columbia when the Legislature
meets, and make such presentation of
facts and arguments as will secure
their passage.
