THE WORD "MAy" WAS A COMPROMISE.


THE WORD "MAY" WAS A COMPROMISE.
The Greenville Mountaineer,
Col. Hoyt's own paper, and the
Columbia State, a high license
paper advocating Col. Hoyt and
prohibition, seem very much
wrought up over our calling at
tention to Col. Hoyt's past rec
ord towards the States institu-
tions of higher learning. They
donot deny their candidates past
attitude towards these institu-
tions, but they endeavor to keep
the hoodwink over the eyes of
the college friends by saying
that the educational policy of the
State lis fixed" We deny that
such is the case; the institutions
of higher learning are in as great
jeopardy as is the dispensary;;
all that is needed to convert the
colleges into owl roosts, is for
men holding views, such as have
always been advocated by Col.
Hoyt, to get in majority IN the
General Assembly. At the last
session, votes were admittedly
cast for a certain amendment to
the appropriation bill to burden
the colleges and to give the anti
college forces a cudgel to WELD
in the coming campaign. We are
not surmising nor dealing in wild
guesses, but we know whereof
we speak. Can the friends of
the colleges content themselves
with permitting their prejudices
against the dispensary to put into
the gpbernatorial chair an avow-
e5opponent of these institutions:
Col. Hoyt has edited for years
two of the strongest anti-State
college papers in the State-the
Greenville Mountaineer and Bap-
tist Courier, and we defy any Of
his friends who are now making
excuses for him, to show one
editorial in either of the two pa
pers which indicates aught but
opposition to the support OF
Clemson, South Carolina, Win
throp and the Citadel. Until the
opening Of the present campaign
Col. Hoyt has always been re-
garded by the Columbia State as
denominational college man,
and it was men of the Hoyt stripe
which prevented the State Con-
stitution from making it manda-
tory for the Legislature to pro-
vide support for the State col
Ieges.
We will remind the friends Of
these institutions Of the struggle
there was in the constitutional
convention over the words
''Shall" and MAY" The anti
State college people were not
quite strong enough to kill the
colleges, and the college people
were not quite strong enough to
make the constitution say that
the General Assembly shall pro
vide for college support, and
ever since, an annual fight has
been made by the opponents of
the colleges to starve them out.
Talk about the States policy
fixed" Why, within the past
few months the Columbia State
had a long and tedious contro-
versy with d UNCONVENTIONAL pa
per on the college question, and
we would ask, can any reason
able man believe that man who
has always been arrayed against
the support of our State col
leges, when put in position to
cripple them, that he will not do
so: Friends Of education, we
must not allow ourselves hood
winked with theory protesting

eIbowsd out OF q circle because en-
gagged in,manuaI labor. Too much is
regard had, not for the kind Of char
actsr men possess, but the kind Of
clothes they can afford to wear.
Too much do we require of the
working young men that they shall
appear in patent feathers and dress
suits, and call for young women in
carriages, even when streets T clear
and walking lie good. Too much by
these unrighteous customs and by
these unreasonable demands do we
forbid the working young men to
e,joy the benefits and pleasures OF
proper recreation without paying a
price they cannot pay and be honest.
Last OF ali we must remember that
we are In our work to reflect the
light and life of Jesus Christ. How
constantly, theu, should our hearts be
turned toward Him so that the full
blaze Of His divine character may be
absorbed by us, and thus may be re-
fiscted,f for the benefit Of the race, the
beauty and character and life Of the
carpenter's son, the Son Of God who
said: fsMy Father worketh hitherto

issue in question the paper was about
two years old and was in q fiourishing
condition. Nearly all the news of :
foreign nature, and the Congressional
proceedings, which were not very ex-
tensive at that time, were handled in
full. The merchants of that day did
not know that advertising pays, con-
sequently the advertisements were
very few in this paper. The largest
"sd' in this paper was that Of Leslie's

quite a curiosity and is well worth
