the tax they should be left alone; and
the farmers want TO be left alone.
Mr.. ?. II. Gadsden said this bill has
come up year by year and every session
farmers here and their representatives
have killed such bill. The farmers
knew their rights and if they d. not
want this tax they have not said SC.
Charleston has always stood by 'Clem-
son college, to any reasonable limit,
since it's establishment. This State Is
manufacturing centre. 1t seems to
be forgotten that the buyers II North
Carolina aad Georgia and other States
pay large proporiicn OF this taS. nc

He urged thss IS cents q Ton wtuid
give Clemson SIS, 900.
Mr. Ashley accepted the l5-cent
amendment. H.. urged that the larger
portions OF the Hatch and .Norri!i
funds weat TO tho support Of tie col
lege proper. The expenditures went
directly TO tic support Of the college.
As a friend Of Clemson lie pleaded to
hold the appropriations belos the
500, 600 mark. To save Clemson the
best thing will be to place the iastitu-
tion on au economic basis.
Mr.. E>uidgc, IF Lancaster, said his
people were expecting him to protect
their interests, and he wanted the tax
reduced because too much money was
being raised to defray the expenses Of
examination. 1t was unfair to lax Que
class of people to support the college.
Mr.. Cosgrove, Of Charleston, knew
that Charleston shipped large Quantities
Of fertilizers outside Of the State. Poor
teachers, he urged. are very much like
roor doctors, xn6 he was opp sd to
pay fer teacher5. While it may look
little extravagsnt the results at Clem-
sou are well worth the lorey spent.
Mr.. ". Il. Thomas warned the House
that the moment Clensons income is
lessened it will come here for apprc-
priations aud when Clemson comes here
every State college will suffer. Pass
this measure aud Winthrop, and Glenn
son, and the South Carolina College,
and the Colored College will all suffer.
Leave the colleges alone for at least
few years. If the farmers are COM
planning let the complain: come from
them.
Mr.. Stevenson then moves to fix the
royalty at Is cents per ton and offered
substitute bill for the whole measure.
This was adopted. The bill was then
given it, third readiag, it simply
amends the Act of 1899 by changing
the inspection tax from 25 cents to 10
cents per ton. The fund continues to
go to Clemson College.
