community raise q like amount. There
Is bonus OF $50 eaca from county and
State where two or more schools COM

Now the facts in the case are these:
No, a single demand has been made
upon the county or State for this aid 10
several wears by Clarendon coucty, yet
the States appropriation has ln every
instance, believe. been used 10 the
limit by other counties, and the ac-
couutS ic the papers, as well rs reports
sen, OUT by the school authorities al
show that handsome. vel! equipped
school buildings are being erected here
and there all over the State, and that
we b. our indifference, are not getting
our share OF these appropriations. 1t IS
true .ha. in two or three places 10 the
county some little effort has been made
towards getting 70 line. but as yet moth
ing has actually been realized. "a some
few cases last year ou,. people let the
opportunity slip, because OF lack OF su:-

effort 20 ge, in line TO avail themselves
OF these advantages. and i. IS TO those

A CAMPAIGN OF LETTERS

There IS going on a letter cam
paisn throughout the State to get
the members Of the general as
sembly to commit themselves fol-
next year. to the proposition OF
giving to the State university

at the last session. 1t is our
Judgment that the Institution
viii get the desired building and
other Improvements IN the course
Of time, but it is also our judg-
ment that it IS not good policy
to force this issue at the present
time. Those who voted against
giving to the university the new
chapel it wanted, did not do SO
because Of any opposition to the
institution, nor to impede its
progress, they 50 voted because
the university had been the re-
c,pient Of the States llberality
the year before, and the year be-
fore that by getting handsome
appropriations for twonew build
ings, and, which have only rec
emily been completed: it was
thought best to hold up on the
new building proposition for a
couple Of years; q majority OF
the Senate wanted 20 withhold
appropriations this year for new
buildings for ali Of the State III

The conflict between the Elk
ecutive and the Chief Justice is
to be deplored. As it is q legal
question that is involved we see
no way for the matter to be set
tied without a decision from q
proper legal tribunal. Il the
governor is correct IN his con-
struction OF the law. that wien a
special Judge is to be appointed
ore of the disengaged circuit
judges should be called into the
service. this seems TO Us 10 be
the proper course: however: the
law appears to be cloudy along
this line. and # it is. it should oe

Governor Blease evidently is
not in sympathy with such laws

him in the future In the last

now that he will not accede to

When the Congress gets in
such a turmoil that its members

GREAT FRANCHISES GIVEN AWAY.

There is a great hullabalu be-
ing made over the veto of the Act
to grant to the Piedmont and
Northern railway company GER
tain franchises, but a reading Of
said Act will disclose privileges
far in excess of any franchise
ever given to a corporation in
this State before. This concern
is a huge syndicate. and seeks to
monopolize the franchises Of the
entire State. 1t seems to us the
Governor, who is contemplating
vetoing this proposition, is
simply trying to prevent a
corporation from receiving
extraordinary privileges, such
as no syndicate should have free
of cost. If the privileges sought
by this corporation are Of value
then it is but fair to the people
of the State that compensation
should be given, and restrictions
should be required so as to pre-
vent monopoly. The State Of
South Carolina is developing rap
idly. and while this corporation
desiring the privileges asked for
in the Act adopted, proposes to
add to the development, yet to
grant It's requests under the
terms Of the Act would be giving
to it valuable franchises free of
cost which it could use for specu-
lative purposes. Later. The
Governor has decided to sign
the Act.
