Representative Blease mad an ex-
cellent speech on tho appropriation
bill in regard to the State colleges.
The reporters scarcely did him Justice.
1t was not In OPPOSITION to the State
colleges, but he bought the salaries of
professors in some OF them at least
might be reduced. I agree fully with
him on this point. 1t should be done
by the trustees and l say it in no spirit
of opposition to any State college.
have not made war on them and have
no intention of doing it and ncithcrur
the dcnominational colleges making
war on State colleges. There arc al
ways some South Carolina college men
in the Legislature and I admire their
loyalty to their almcr mater, but they
should be loyal without casting rehcc-
tions or making insinuati0ns rs to other
colleges. Mr.. Blcase argued that Gro
mer, Carlisle and Gricr oro the equals
in ability and character Of any of the
State college men and that the facul-
ties under them would conn .Arc with
hn fnn, inc r
these men worked for a great deal less
than were paid professors in State col
leges. The State college men argued
in reply that professors Of ability
could not be had for less money than
the State now pays and also that the
State institutions were educating the
poor boys we'll. | have heard that so
much that it gives me that tired feel
ing. | have only this to say, that the
friends of the State colleges better
consent to an economical administra-
ton and not make insinuations in re-
gard to other colleges in the State for
the supporters OF the dcnominational
colleges do not want to see the State
colleges crippled and have no fight to
make on them.
Everything is covered here with
snow. The sun was out Il little while
this morning and then it showed
again. Street ears and hacks were all
snow bound yesterday and when |
reached Columbia neither hack nor a
street CIT could TIC found So the half
mile up to the hotels had to be made on
foot.
All the Ncwhcrry delegation arc up
and in good health.
*x*
| want to say rs to the county ap-
pointmcnts that the Ncwberry delega-
tion has been harmonious and the best
OF good fellowship exists among them.
or course there were some difference
us to men, but every appointment so
far made has The unanimous endorse
mcnt OF the delegation. The most i'm |
portant appointment so far made 7
suppose is that of magistrate nj
Newbcrry. Really there was but one
petition before the delegation for up-
that OF Mr.. j. II. Chappcll.
There were other names mentioned. |
but no other formal application, and
MIR. Chappcll's petition was signed by
majority OF the voters of the town
ship. There were 1877 names from his
own club and nearly every business
man and merchant, county officers,
Mayor and Aldermen, in fact it is as
llhc endorsement az any man could get.
In appointing MIR. Chappcll the delcga-
lion has but carried out the wishes of
The people OF the town as expressed in
,helr petition. | think Mr.. Chappcn
Will make an efficient officer. He is
capable. In fact ify you take the ap-
continents rs II whole you will find
nat they are good men and will give
OF course all the app)i.
,"n'S coma not be appointed, and the
'eieHaIlon have done their duty rs they
nw it.
