The House on Tuesday the legisla-
tive appropriation bill come over with

yees OF the senate who hsd been left

age of members OF the house alone.
The house declined to agree to this as
The stationery account did not seem 20
be included. The house sgreed to raise
the pay OF the senate and house assis
tant clerks from $3.50 $3.50 All sala.
ries were fixed so SIS to provide for 81
days pay. The salary Of the two read
ing clerks was raised to $3.50.
The committee on tree conference
agree to aunapimous settlement OF the
differences. The basis OF agreement
being: Cut State Colored Normal col
lege s., 900; eIectrict station for Deaf,
Dumb and Blind institute 1900;
Sc Herage at South Carolina college
81, 500; leave out Patton amendment
as to South Carolina college; raise
South Carolina college appropriation
to s25, 900 as fixed by senate and al
clerks salaries as now paid.
At the night session the most impof-
tant action was the agreement to the
senate amendments to the income tax
bill When the amendment to raise
the amount liable to the tax to $3.50
was read Mr.. Winkler promptly
moved concurrence. Mr.. Skinner
hoped the house would not concur bat
before there was further argument
the house agreed to fix the starting
point for the income tax at 81, 500.
Mr.. Mowers amendment to protect
from publicity the returns was then
adopted without debate and the income
tax bill was ready to be enrolled, prac-
tically as it started.
The report OF the committee on free
conference on the general appropria'
ton bill submitted its report. As soon
as the report was read Mr.. kiDler
seemed to be struck By cannon ball.
He wanted to know why the colored
college had been cut $1,000. He
thought q serious mistake had been
made.
Mr.. Bacot stated that the trustees
asked for $4,000 and as the college
got SIS, 900 from outside sources it
was thought $4,000 would suffice. 1t
was purely on the request Of the trus'
tees that the action was taken.
Mr.. Dukes OF Ofangeburg and Mr..
hibler wanted to know if something
could not be done as twas very neces-
sary, if possible, to keep the appropria-
ton up to SIS, 900 as agreed upon By
the house in the first instance.
Mr.. Wilson, OF the ways and means
committee, said that SIS, 900 was
thought to be necessary after full
hearing of the case.
a message was received from q
senate that it had adopted the free con
ference committee-report on the bill.
Dr.. Price said that the coiored col
lege is doing fine work and should
be encouragedin every way aud thatit
was great pity that the $4,000 was
not given the college.
The only question was whether the
bill was to be killed or not, said Mr..
Livingston. He had no doubt the
committee did the best it could.
Mr.. Garris assured the house that
the conference committee had no idea
OF doing wrong and that no prejudice
towards the colored college influenced
the action taken. The board simply
wished to give what was needed and
came to its conclusion upon the report
OF the trustees.
Mr. kibler said it was pity The
matter had gone as far as it did but
that there was now no way out OF the
trouble. The Gu: was q complete sur
prise to everyone. The appropriation
bill was then finally agreed upon oy
the adoption OF the free conference
committee report.
There was not much business trans
scted by the House on Wednesday, as
it had pretty well finished up its busi.
ness the night before. After the trans
action OF what business was left over

60 into committee Of the whole and
