The people of South Carolina,
of their ability and integ-
rity, are determined that every just
obligation of the State shall be hon
orably and promptly discharged.
We boldly proclaim that upon this
one subject there is no difference or
division of sentiment among che sons
of the State.

We earnestly recommend to the
Legislature to set apart by law any
excess of phosphate royalty, after
paying annual interest on the State
lebt, as a sinking fund to be placed
At interest and sacredly kept and used
:or the purpose of paying the princi-
pal of the State debt.
