Mr.. Rainsford's Speech on the
Privilege Tax.

Mr.. Rainsford said he was COM
mor friend of all the institutions
Of higher education, but he was
special friend to Clemson co'leg'
because he was a farmer; farming
had been his occupation all his
life. Hence it was impossible for
any one to charge him with wish
ing 10 injure Clemson. Clemson
had come AMI asked for an appro-
priatiou at the outset, breaking her
contract not to ask for anything.
Last year she asked for $4,000;
they appropriated $4,000, in some
way it read $4,000. The trustees
discussed whether to take itor not,
and not only took it, but used it.
They owed it to the State to return
thst $4,000 OH moral grounds, If
no other. He then quoted the fig
ures showing the income OF Glenn
son college. The farm ought to re-
turn the institution at least $1,000.
lie said the board of trustees were
running a hotel there. Think of
these figures" he exclaimed. "They
are astonishing me-" If these fig
ures were presented to the people
they would be astounded also. Her
income would be 100000 this year.
He could not see the necessity for
such an amount. He wanted the
privilege tax fluid to be divided
and portion given to the girls,
Every student now at Clemson was
a beneficiary. "Gentlemen do you
believe that every student there
should be a benefciary?" AT least
ITO of the little boys there GOULD
be as we'll educated in the common
schools as at Clemson.

LEGISLATIVE
The Columbia State, Feb. a4th.

The Columbia State, Feb. :4th
During the past week the fate Of
the State fair appropriation vas
finally settled, so far as the specla-
bill was concerned. 1t is definite
ly decided, 100, that the metropoll-
tan police bill will stand. Then,
again, there is no further question
about the privilege tax; 1t is to
stand.
The State printer is not to be
paid in excess of $4,000 for o
wears work. The Wallace prop
erty is to be purchased tor the

lege investigating committee has
been presented. With its ron;ents
all, however, are familiar.
The fire in ,urauce bill mas pass
ed the house, with very essentia!
amendments, which it is thought
that the senate will not agree to.
The house has passed the bill
repeating the anti, free pass act,
and this week the senate will act
thereon.
The house has ended the career
of the senate building and loan
hill and it lies i'll deep, moist
grave.
The registration bill has been
finished with in the house at last
and seut over to the senate with
no end of amendments.

during the past week, and the

also passed.
The appropriation bill viii
doubtless come in for the lions
share of the attention of the house
this week, and the features of the
debates thereon will arise from the
educational institution items and
the item in regard to the Atlanta
exhibit. 1nasmuch as the attorney
general has rendered an opinion
under which the $4,000 can be ap-
propriated for the exhibit, it will
doubtless be appropriated.
The election of e State printer
has to be held yet. 1t will proba-
bly, come off some day this week.
AS yet the resolution providing
day for final adjournment has
not been consideI2d and acted
upon, but it will probably be dis
posed of before the end of the
week. Of course an adjournment
within fortnight would leave the
calendar of the. house with. a good
many bills thereon untouched, but
they are mostly unimportant little
bills which really do not amount
TO anything. If the house goes
ahead with its calenda- with the
intention of disposing of all the
matters thereon before taking a fl
nal adjournment, then it will take
some three weeks longer to- COM
pleto the work. Glancing back
ward over the work accomplished
up 10 date, one fails to see where
the new laws made so far will be
worth the 81 900 day it has cost
the State since January Is last, to
have them made. But then many
Of these new statutas had to be
made under the hew Constitution.
That document, however, did not
make it obligatory on the general
assembly to deal with so many
small special bills.

pllslied during this week, and it
should De done with the least pos

AS to the State campaign, there
seems to be chance whatever of a
Conservative candidate coming out
for governor. The conservatives
it seems are merely going to be OIL
lockers this year. 1t is pretty
thoroughly understood that the
Tillman administration candidate
for governor is to be ex-Comptroller
General VIM. H. Ellerbe of Marion
On all sides he is mentioned as the
winning candidate for governor.
Then there IS Senator r. B. Wat
SON. He has not yet announced
his candidacy, but be is regarded
as most likely to be the man to op-
pose Mr.. Ellerbe in the primary
He has a strong following and his
friends are now seriously consider
ing putting him in the race. They
think he viii prove far more than
a match for Mr.. Ellerbe on the
stump. No other candidates tor
,yernor are now being mentioned.

Bates will hardly stand for relec-

running him anyway. But no mat

primary for State Offices, the cam
paign so far as they are concerned
will amount to but very little, for
the senatorial fight will be the abb
sorbing matter with the crowds.
