he came to tho rescue. II no did no
defend Winthrop he would almost bt
afraid to go home.
Mr.. Cushman favored tho $30, 900 ap
preparation.
Mr.. lldcrton said he simply wished
to test the voice of tho House and find
out what was really needed.
| Mr.. Blythe did not want any senti
ment. Ho contendcd that accounting
Tor every item Of expense $25, 900 would
| be sufficient.
Mr.. Ashley said all tho education he
had was through his good wife, and
the House should not waste time try.
Ing to cut down the appropriation.
Mr.. Werner said there was no reason
for the reduction.
Mr.. llderton withdrew the motion to
cut the appropriation to $25 200. No
vote was taken.
THE CITADEL HOLDS IT'S OWN.
Mr.. llderton moved to cut the Oita-
ded del appropriation from $4,000 to $l8,-
Mr.. Thomas, of Richland, said it
cost $34 900 to maintain the Citadel,
and last year there was u deficiency of
about $4,000. Tho actual amount to
support a cadet is $293. If the State
Is to support the beneticiaries it will
take $4,000. The salary list is but q
pittance, and the money received from
pay cadets dcfrays much of the ex-
pense. Two boys in W. ~ aou:.N d :.
taken up and educated. 1t takes $73
to clothe each cadet; $l03 maintenance;
washing $l4, and SO on. Mr..
Thomas presented the claims of the
Citadel In o fcrcible manner.
Mr. llderton said If it was a fact that
hnn Rnip IL
up the deficiencies he would Withdraw
his amendment.
Mr. kinard said that tho Eoys should
clothe themselves, and did not believe
it right for the State to buy clothes,
shoes and all for the beneticiaries. He
feared 1T was accustOming boys to cX-
pecting too much of the State.
Mr.. W. @. Davis, a graduate of the
Citadel, was satisfied that no cut would
be made If it could be shown that the
$4,000 was needed. The money at the
Citadel was economically spent. If
1923 is too much for beneficiary cadets,
why is it that until last year the paw
cadets, who pay 5000, outnumbered
the bcneGciaries. 1t is because they
get superior education to what they
poor boys were assessed to buy some
Of their clothing or do without it.
Mr.. Limehousc, Of Summerville,
proposed $4,000.
Mr.. Crum said that the Citadel was
the only institution at which poor
boy could get an education without q
cent OF cost. it is an institution for
the people and whore pYor boys can
go and be as we'll dressed and thought
of as the richest. Smaller salaries are
paid at the Citadel than elsewhere.
MIR. Cushman thought the Citadel
the best institution in tho State and
the institution should be supported
but he favored retrcnchment.
The House rejected the proposition
to reduce the appropriation to $l9, 900
and then the yeas and nays were call
ed on the proposed cut to 5000
