he camo to tho rescue. If no did no
defend Winthrop he would almost b,
afraid to go home.
Mr.. Cushman favored tho $3O, 900 ap
preparation.
MIR. lldcrton said he simply wished
to test tho voice Of the House and fine
out what was really needed.
Mr.. Blythe did not want any senti
ment. Ho contendcd that accounting
Tor every item of expense 1926, 900 woulC
be sufficient.

THE CITADEL HOLDS IT'S OWN.
Mr.. llderton moved to cut the Oita-
del appropriation from $4,000 to $1S,
600.
Mr.. Thomas, Of 2ichland, said it
cost $34, 900 to maintain the Citadel,
and last year there was Il deficiency OF
about 5000. Tho actual amount to
support cadet is $293 If the State
Is to support the beneficiuries it will
take $4,000 The salary list is but u
pittance, and the money received from
pay cadets dcfrays much of the cx-
pense. Two boys in W ~ aou.i, "a I.
taken up and educated. 1t takes $73
to clothe each cadet; SOB maintenance;
washing $l4, and 50 on. Mr.
Thomas presented the claims of the
Citadel in o forcible manner.
Mr. IldertOn said if it was a fact that
the beneficiaries would huve to mako
up the deficiencies he would Withdraw
his amendment.
Mr.. Kinard said that tho Toys should
clothe themselves, and did not believe
1t right for the State to buy clothes,
shoes and all for the beneticiaries. He
feared it was accustoming boys to cx-
pecting too much Of the State.
Mr.. w. G. Davis, a graduate OF the
Citadel, was satisfied that no cut would
be made If it could be shown that the
S2O, 900 was needed. The money at the
Citadel was economically spent. If
1898 is too much for beneficiary cadets,
cadets, who pay $500, outnumbercd
the benefciaries. 1t Is because they
get superior education to what they
can get elsewhere. Last year the
poor boys were assessed to buy somo
OF their clothing or do without it.
Mr. Limehouse, OF Summerville,
proposed $4,000.
Mr. Crum said that the Citadel was
the only institution at which a Door
boy could get an education without a
cent of cost. it is an institution for
the people and where poor boys can
go and be as we'll dressed and thought
| OF as the richest Smaller salaries are
paid at the Citadel than elsewhere.

the best institution in the State anG
the institution should be supported
but he favored retrcnchment.
