demand and seek to draw the
people on TO Il full realization of
their necessities in this line of
education and culture. But the
higher education may for the pres
ent at least, be content to meet eff
tectively the immediate demand.
From what has been said above
you may easily infer that the
prime necessity for the higher
education in South Carolina is
that all the State colleges be
brought under the control of a
single board of trustees, who shall
see that each is supported and
expanded according as the needs
OF the people shall indicate. No
one of these should be allowed
70 trench upon the province of
the others, or to take from the
necessary financial support of
the others. At present each
State college has its own indie
pendent board who consider them
selves responsible only for its
sopport and for its success and
who are naturally not concerned.

separate boards of trustees Tor
each college, divided as follows
South Carolina College II; Glenn

College If; South Carolina State

The work of the several boards
could be better done aud at con
slderablv less expense to the
State by Il board OF seven com
petent members. The trustees
of the various institutions are. at
present, placed in an attitude of
partisanship to their own interests
and of Indifference. amounting al
most to hostility, to the other
State c ,lleges. Thus. each strug-
Cling TO take care OF itself alone
Is by that effort brought into com
petition with the others, instead
OF working with them and divid
ing with them. This breeds selfish
ness, disIrust and antagonism
among institutions that can flour
ish only by working in harmony.
My belief in the necessity of State
higher education is my warrant
for candidly pointing out what
seems to me the only rational and
economical arrangement for its
efficient administration.

SPECIAL LEGISLATION.

The number of special statutes
should be reduced by the enact
ment of general laws, embodying
ample provisions and remedies
for the relief of persons, corpora
tions and communities, relative
to subjects of Il general character
and to put an end to the present
flood OF special legislation. AS it
is easier and in some cases cheap
er TO apply TO the General AS
semblv tor relief rather than to
the Courts or other tribunals
provided by general law, the
Legislature is being, upon various
excuses. subjected to constant
pressure 10 enact special laws for
the relief of individuals Indeed,
even constitutional provisions in
tended to limit such SPECIAL leg
islation have often been evaded
under the guise of So called
general law. In the Constitution
of 1895 there are express pro
visions prohibiting special and
local legislation by the General
Assembly. Prior to 1895, during
each legislative session Il great
deal of time was consumed in the
consideration of such special ley
islation, at great expense to the
State. 1t was to check this grow
ing evil that these prohibitory pro,
visions were introduced into the
Constitution. 1t is natural and
/ may be praiseworthy for individu-
al legislators to seek to advance
the interests of their localities ana
constituencies but such interests
should be subordinated TO the gen
eral public good. and such special
and local legislation is evidently
injurious TO the public veal. Too
much legislation. both general and
special, has undoubtedly charac.
terized South Carolina for the
past Thirty years
Such special and local enact
ments. besides being species of
class legislation, are most harm
ful in making it uncertain what,
the statute law is. 1t is, there.
fore, wise provision of our pres
cnr Constitution which prohibits
local and special legislation, and
il should be rigidIy enforced. But
notwithstanding thi constitution
al inhibition. an examination of
the Acts pissed bv the General
Assembly during tn" sessions of
500 and 1897 will show that this
wise provision was evadcd. and
that there was considerable special
and local legislation. Since the
