The house then took up the substi-
tute, which was offered as an amend
ment.
DR.. Wyche wanted to know why
the farmers have never, through their
alliance, demanded tho abolition of
this tax. Why had the March con
vention of 1890 demanded the imposi-
ton Of the taxi II was O question for

above Clemson's $25, 900, into the State

wanted to have the amount to 90 to
se,colleges fixed. This could only
be done by making direct appropria-
