great deal more of that from expert

comes from a sDecla tax placed on the

may claim that the "A. and M. College

erS.

Mr.. Mclean asked if Mr.. Scales had
not lobbicd the rcforlna tory bill
! through the Senate.
Mr.. Scales replied that he may have
urged it with some of the SeGators.}
Mr.. Scales, continuing. SAID. that the
Agricultural Department is tkpen ding
over $97. 900. and it is known by any
man with comrlcn setsse that
an excellent agricultu1 tai de-
partment can be maintained for half
thai amount. He declared that the
bill would be of no benefit TO the
farmers of the State. and the "A. and
M. College is doing more good than
the Agricultural Department. and
the $4,000 contributed to the A and
NJ. College does more for the farm
ers than all the other OF the S9I,00Q
spent by the Agricultural Department.
And if taken away from the college
this money would be devoted to the
drawing of soil maps of North Caro-
lima. There is not n state Department
that is less economical and that is
spending money more excessively and
iniudiciously than the Agricultural
Department. The total expenses of
the South Carolina Agricultural De-
partment is $4,000. and the Depart
ment Of that State supports almost
absolutely the a. and NJ. College of
that State. and the amount is over
$4,000. II is said that the Agricul-
turaI Department is $4,000 in debt,
but in two years this debt can easily
be paid off.
Mr. Boddie said he signed the min
ority report, and only after due con-
sideration and mature thought. He
said he was surprised to find the in
come of the Agricultural Department
SO great. but few acquainted With the
facts will dispute that the $4,000 is
the most worthily spent by that De-
parsment.

There is no disposition here to ques.

sion. The fact that he is not coming
is too pleasing for that.
sereius Wftte ma be regarded as
the statesman of Russia. For the
last Is years he has been one OF the
strongest personalities in the Russian
bureaucracy, although his political
fortunes suffered a setback when he
was compelled to resign the portfolio
of Minister Of Finance in August,
1903. and again when, after being ap-
pointed president of the Counsel of
Ministers in the anne month his Office
gradually lost its importance, until
rumors of his intention to resign and
so abroad had been persistently cir
culated.
Witte is aged about Sc and has
steadily worked his way up from the
position OF an unuer-paid railroad
clerk, who occasionally acted as por-
ter, to that Of the leading statesman
of Russia; in spite of the fact that his
enemies are NUMEROUS and include
some of the most powerful men in
Russia.

At one time WHITE talked over the
