Now Mr.. President it has been
stated that extravaganza is shown
at Clemson. know nothing of this.
l have asked for specifications and
none have been given. If there is
waste or extravaganza an examining
committee should be appointed by
the Legislature and make thorough
investigation to determine the truth
or falsity OF the charge, and if they
exist, to remedy them. But for one
l am not willing to cripple the insti-
tuition. l believe that Clemson is
improving and growing in it's effi-
| cient work and it would be great
mistake now to do anything to cause
any check to it's usefulness. With
out going further into the matter, I
believe that Clemson is growing in
popular estimation, it's usefulness is
increasing and is more generally re-
cognized, and that people of South
Carolina want it and will insist on
its maintenance, and for one 1 stand
squarely for education of all kind.
If this bill passes l believe a direct
appropriation will be asked for and
will be needed, so l will vote against
the bills.

The Privilege Tax.

The following is synopsis.of Mr..
Manning's remarks i'm the House on
Wednesday, when the bill for the re-
duction Of the Privilege Tax on Fer
tilizers was under discussions:
Two matters are involved in this
bill
l. Whether the privilege tax falls
on the consumer or not?
2. Whether Clemson is receiving
and spending more than it is neces-
sary for it's efficient work?
AS to the first question; 1 will lay
it down as a general proposition that
all expenses and taxes must ulti-
mately fall on the consumer. This
can be illustrated by the fact that
cotton seed meal can be bought as
cattle food for less than as fertilizer
by 25c. ton, the amount of the
privilege tax. This matter can be
elaborated, but I deem it unueces-
sary, and the main question for US to
consider is contained in the End
proposition.
In the first place let me disabuse
your minds Of one error which is not
generally understood. The Hatch
fund, amounting to $4,000, has no
connection with the College expenses.
This fund cannot be disbursed ex-
cept under the direction of the Fed
eral government, and under these di-
rections must be spent exclusively
in Experimental Station work. 1
will show by the report of the Trus-
tees and with statements of DR..
Hartzog and Col. Simpson, explain
atory thereof, that Clemson received
the following amounts:

PLAYED the Trick In McLean's.,Too.

The evidence IS now being disclosed
| that Mclean county republicans, al
though declaring for Yates for the
gubernatorial nomination, have been
| made the victims of the same conf
dence game that was worked in Rock
Island by the Tanner crowd, and that
a Hanecy delegation has been selected
to Peoria. The fact that Mclean
county adjoins Reeves home county
and was supposed to be for him, and
the further fact that the instructions,
neverthel were for Yates, aroused
)iciOn, and hefurt her the delegation
selected was analysed the more con-
vincing became the proof that the
machine had won out after all. A
dispatch sent out yesterday from
Bloomington says:
"Republican politicians today
awoke to the fact that Judge Hanecy
and his friends have been playing
some shrewd politics in the last few
days, and that things are not always
what they seem. For instance, the
Mclean county convention at Bloom
ingtpn Yesterday declared in favor of
Judge Yates for governor. As mat
ter of fact the victory was for Judge
Hanecv, and the vanquished were the
Reeves men. The instructions for
Yates contain a bit Of ingenious word
ing, and the understanding today is
that when the roll is called in the
state convention the delegates from
Mclean county will be found voting
for Judge Hanecy instead of Judge
Yates. The loss of Mclean county is
a serious loss to the Reeves boom and
is considered by the Hanecy people
one of the best things they have ac-
complished for good many days.
The work for Judge Hanecy was
accomplished by Interstate Commerce
Commissioner and Former Gov. Jo-
seph w. Fifer, Hamer III. Green and a
mum Der of others. EX-Gov. Fifer is
considered one of the Hanecy leaders
out in the state. Hamer III. Green is
the father-in-law of DIR. +. n. jamie
sons son, and one of DR.. Jamieson's
intimates. Judge Hanecy was on the
ground personally. So was Judge
Yates. The latter saw that the county
was either for Reeves or a split, and
pleaded with the Hanecv people to
help him get instructions. The
Hanecy people saw it was either
Reeves or somebody else Than their
man outright, 50 they went in for
Yates. Reeves followers had been
loud for instructions the night before
the convention, but when they saw
the trend of things they began to yell
against iustructing for nybody. Had
the delegation gone uninstructed it
would have been claimed by the
Reeves people, and this the Hanecv
people did not want. Mclean county
has % delegates. 1t adjoins Walter
own judicial district. He has claimed
1t since the opening of the campaign
and felt sure all along he would have
it. Up to the night before the con-
vention he believed the county would
be his"

BE Very Thankful to Have.

There is a feeling of security in
using Morrow's Kid-ne-oids. A few
doses will convince you that YOU are
and pleasantly; they are not at all
bad to take and are conveniently put
up in wooden boxes so that you can
carry them in your pocket and use
them while at work. You do not
have to stop work while using Kid
ne-oids. They have done a great
deal of good for vast number of peO-
pie here in Rock Island. We have
given You the names and addresses OF
these people from time to time, and
again refer you to George Downing,
9U9 Seventh avenue, who has lived in
Rock Island for 40 years, and says:
Two years ago | had a fall and
struck my back on a step, in uring it
pretty badly. l thought l had cured
it entirely and for several months |
felt all right, but about a year ago it
began to bother me cOnsiiera bly,. AT
first | paid no attention to it, but it
became so bad that | could scarcely
get about. The lameness was across
the small of my back in the region of
the kidneys. | took medicine and
used ointments of different kinds eN-
ternally and also plasters, but none of
them did me any good whatever. l
heard about Morrow's Kid-ne-oids
and thought 1 would give them a
trial. although | had little faith in
patent medicine. l got box at my
drug store and began to use them as
directed. l began to get letter in n
day or so after taking Kid-ne-oids
and | can say they are the only thing
l ever tried that gave me any relief.
| am convinced that my kidneys were
affected. and Morrow's Kid-ne-Oids
are certainly the thing that will cure
kidney trouble
