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

Mr.. Rainsford said he was a COM
NOR friend of all the institutions
of higher education, but he was a
special friend to Clemson co'leg'
because he was 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-
priation 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 it or not,
and not only took it, but used it.
They owed it to the State TO return
that $4,000 on 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 $4,000.
He said the board of trustees were
running a hotel there. "Thlnk of
these figures" be 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 benefciary?" AT least
ITO of the little boys there GOULD
be as we'll educated in the common
schools as at Clemson.

Tae Columbia State, Feb. 24th.
During the past week the fate of
the State fair appropriation was
finally settled, so far as the specla-
bill was concerned. 1t is definite
ly decided, too, that the metropoli-
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 q

The report of the Clemson col
lege investigating committee has

all, however, are familiar.
The fire in ,urance bill has pass

amendments, which it is thought
that the senate will not agree to.
The house has passed the bill

ard this week the senate will ACT
thereon.
The house has ended the caree'

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
'ucational 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 20 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 considered and acted
upon, but it will probably be dis
posed of before the end of the
week. Of course an adjournment
within a fortnight would leave the
calendar of the house with. a good
many bills thereon untouched, bnt
they are mostly unimportant little
bills which really do not amount
to anything. If the house goes
ahead with its calendar with the
intention of disposing of all the
matters thereon before taking fl
nal adjournment, then it will take
some three weeks longer to COM

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 Wm. II. Ellerbo 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 snnounced
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 will prove far more than
match for Mr.. Ellerbe on the
stump. No other candidates lor
