MIR. kiblrr said that South Car
oliMa had probably done more for
higher institutions Of learning than
any other State her size. He was
afraid that in her zeal to. push for
ward higher education she may have
gone too far. But he thought now
that to rctracc the steps which had
been taken would be difficult mat
ter. Tie referred to the fact that the
tax by which Clemson was supported
was an indirect tax IF ii were not
an indirect fax. and if every man who
used hundred tons of fertilizer had
to 90 to the treasurer office and
pay %25-thc same amount which lie
paid indirectly when he used one hun
drcd tons Of fcrtilizcr-thcrc would
be Il cry all over the land. II was the
duty of every member of the gcncr-
al assembly. he said. to soc that all
these institutions were conducted as
economically rs possible. There WAS
| no use IN man saying he would at
tempt {" in.iurc Clemson. He could
n1 do it. Clemson waS inhr.ldcd in
the hearts of The people. Rut il was
! tn" duty Of every representative to
/ see that every dollar WAS economic
cally spent, and that no more money
was used than ought to be used.
! Without discriminating against
! the other institutions. he believed
that Winthrop was doing more for
the State than any other institution
; in it. Winthrop should be support
! ed. but not eXtravagantly. And 50 it
was with the Citadel. and South Car
olina university. and the other higher
institutions Of learning. he said FTc
believed that too much money had
been spent. He believed that the
boards of trustees Of these institu-
tions asked too much Of our people
frequently. and he believed they
ought to be more careful with the
money they spent. and not be 50 cx-
travagant.
Mr.. Kibler took up the county fin
anccs. saying that on the first of
July Of this year there was not dol
lar in the county treasury for The
pnposc of paving the running expcn.
scS of the county. What was the re-
mcdvo Expenses must be reduced or
a tax must be levied to meet the or
dinary expenses. Hc thought the
candidates for county supervisor
ought to be called upon 10 tell what
! they would recommend for running
the county, and if the tax was insult
ficicnt. then the legislature should
make the necessary levy so as to put
the county on cash basis. II was Il
shame TO make hard-wnrkcd officers
discount their salary warrants or Dor
row money. and for it to be ncccs-
sary for claims against the county to
be shaved and discounted.
Mr.. Kibler said that he did not
have time to discuss the other cues
tlonS. his time being about ont. Ev-
crybodv knew where he stood ON i'm
migration and the lien law. As TO
the Office of insurance commissioner.
for four successive years when he
was in the general assembly he had
got bill through the house provid-
ing for an insurance commissioner.
but it had failed in the senate. IT
did not cost the people dollar. but
the money came out Of the insur-
ance companies. and the object of
the bill was to GET rid Of wild cat in
sllrancc companies. FIc was glad the
department had been put in opera
ton.
DR.. c. r: Wychr. candidate for the
house of representatives. states that
the reporter Of The Herald and News
made a mistake in reporting his adj
dress at Utopia. The Herald and
News reporter said that Dr.. Wvrhc
had said that the State had not vet
done its full duty TO the higher insti-
tutions Of learning. DR.. Wychc saws
that what he intended to say was that
the State had not yet done its full
duty to Winthrop--thc college for
the girls. This correction is cheer
fully made.
