aud one which perhaps should
require a des.rtment for good
manners in the college. | de-
plorc very much the conduct of
these tnoushtleSS youths, but do
not hold the authorities re>pon-
sib!e for it. I am sure when the
boys reflect they Will see their
error and will lregrec .heircourse.
The argument used by some
of the senator's tina: it was not
right to discriminate against the
University after giving to the
Citadel its building is mislead-
ing, when it is considered that
the general assembly has al
ready given to the University
two new buildings and none to
the Citadel. and besides, the chi.
versity this year gets a consid-
cradle increase for maintainance,
more than ever before in the
history of the Institution. The
building wanted 5y the Univer-
sity is a new chapel, they have
a chapel now but it is old, and
perhaps when the whole student
body get into it. it becomes
crowded, but this condition IS
not so serious that they cannot
wait for a couple of years, as !
have already said, there is no an
tasonisn towards the Universl,
" and in time it will get the ad'
ditional building. The taxpay,
ers are to be considered in these
matters as we'll as the comforts
of the students and the pride OF
the college authorities. In NY
Judgment this is one Of the best
things that could have happened
to the University. because.lf the
appropriations continued to in,
crease from year to year as they
had been doing in the past the
final outcome would have been
the electing of q Legislature
which would throw the institu'
ton back to where it was ter
years ago. if not ruined entirely.
According to calculations made
it would have been impossible
with the levy fixed in the Act tc
have raised enough money te
meet 1t, ard a heavy deficit would
have been the result, which would
have forced the assembly TO pro
vide for next year, as it is, it is
expected to meet the demands
against the State, and when the
assembly reconvenes there viii
be no deficit to amount 20 any
thing.
Over three hundred Acts be
came law, of which 90 per cent
were local in their nature. The
general assembly failed to elect
the additional associate justice
after about twenty-eight ballots,
and the matter goes over to the
next session by which time other
candidates may loom up for the
place.
The laws s.assed in which the
people of Clarendon are specially
interested, are the game and fish
laws, the Act which relieves the
county auditor from taking tax
returns, and devolvag this work
upon the township commission,
ers, the county levy and the
county salary increase.
The salary bill for this county
is: Sheriff $1,000 per anuum. and
$500 for his deputy; $1,000 per
annum for the superintendent OF
education, and the said officer
shall devote the whole OF his
time to the duties of the Office;
$500 a year for clerical assistance
to the county treasurer.
Under the new fish Act trap.
ping is forbidden during the
months of April, May, June and
July, and fish can be caught and
can be sold any time. Under the
game Act deer can be hunted
from September lst to January
lst, and partridges can be hunt
ed from the 18th of November
to the 18th of March. The fol-
lowing is the amendment to the
