Lighting State buildings in Columbia
| costs $1,000 more and fuel 500 more;
and 5000 for insurance on South Caro-
lima college buildings. Tota! s6,2co.
The total of these increased app opria-
tions is i229, THIS does not include
| the Additional appropriation Of SIoo,c
in separate blu for the confederate pcn~
sions. II does however, include the $780,
ctso for the Charleston exposition and the
SICo,Co for the common schools. The
house last yea voted $iCo,c2o for the
common schools, but it was merely bill
then, or Was SO regarded. This year it is
''straight goods -
LESS THESE FOR IC-.0.
To Offset ih;s "cmc. .ldous increased cx-
penditurcs there we're few items of un-
usual expense in :he appropriations Of
1900 which did not come up ths year or
they, too, would have received liberal and
perhaps bountiul appropriation Among
these arc the following:
Secretary Of State, books and blanks
for general election, $500; general cleo
ton expenses SI5,cco; for advertising
general election, 5000; othcc printing,
secretary of State, S2co. Total SI7,7co.
| State board Of education, ;2co; salary
supreme court justices was SI,68o.83
more in 1900 than for this year; the
Citadel in Is1o received $3.50 for de-
hcit for preceding years; the State fair
will not need its regular SI,2oo advance
this year; Cedar Springs last year got
$40, ,ooo for building for negro children
and Winthrop got $4,000 The Wallace
property notes cost the State insane
hospital S48o less this year. Total S54,-
$40.
Claims ordered paid in 1901 are 5000
less than in 1900, and the appropriation
of $500 fot the "Back papers, was not
mentioned this year. Total $500.
This shows a g.and total Of $78,oIC
expended III 1900 for items which were
not presented this year, and reduces the
grand total of increased appropriation III
1901 to $25I, ,26I. This amount repIe.
scnts the $Ioo, eco for public schools. the
$Ico, 900 for pensions and the $50, GOO fol
the Charleston Exposition.
In other words, although there has
been general demand for pittances fol
the several departments OF the govern
mcnt, the ordinary appropriations TO,
1901 would not have exceed ed those foi
1900 This is due 10 the fact that Win
throp III 1900 got t35. .oco additional, and
this year but $3ocoo; the Citadel, il,
1890 got $625o for past indebtedness; the
expenses Of the general election added
nearly $40, r>co to the appropriations 70,
1900, and there were Il few miscellaneous
items which were not demanded this
year-repairs to State house, etc.
The increased taxable property of the
State is A,5o2 ,8o9, and at S mills this
will give $22,sI4.o5 with which to meet
the &25o, COO additional for pensions. pul,
