Vote OF 7s to ~.
In tho House Friday Mr., Mitchun
made long and hard tight to limit
the income OF Clsmson College from
!. the privilege tax:
M. Cary, Of Oconee, opposed any
interference with the resources oi
Clemson College. He criticised the
report OF the Legislative committee
that investigated the State colleges
Mr.. Mitchum insiste:d that Clem'
son was spending too much money.
Mr.. Cary said Clemson was not
standing still and needed money fol
extensions and growth. II Clemson
is to stand still then they need nc
more than s175,Ooo, but they should
tbe allowed to grow. There were
things at Clemson he did not like
but this bill would do no good. Lei
things alone. .,
= Mr.. Ashley said he was against
Clemson getting so much money, but
he visited Clemson and had his eyes
opened and was in favor Of Clemson
getting all this money. If anything
is to be done let the tax be reduced
but he urged that Clemson be left
entirely alone. He wanted Clemson
left alone this year.
Mr.. McKeown, Of Chester, said
something of this. kind came up ev'
cry year. !EIe, too, thought it unfor.
tunate that the legislative report
should come in today and he, toe
criticised the composition OF the
committee-al1 lawyers. There was
no use to talk about crippling Glenn.
SON, AMI he agreed with Mr.. Ashley
that If the tax were too high let the
tax be reduced.
Mr.. Aver wanted to know II Glenn
son were a State institution or not
and whether the tax is constitution
al. Clemson ought to be supported
as others are by direct appropriation
He suggested that all bills On the
privilege tax be taken up together
This was denied. L
Mr.. McCrayey' knew the good
Clemson was doing. He feared Mr..
Mitchum had not gone into the legal
.phase of the question. There is no
use to bother the privilege tax. He
fonnd that those who wanted to have
such bills had blood in their eyes for
Clemson. .s.g! <
Mr.. Wander Eorst spoke for the
legislative investigating committee.
He explained thnt the delay In sub
mitting the report was purely un-
ayoidable, and as everyone knew
without intention to influence any
one. The fact that he and others
were lawyers was fact and hardly
worth discussing, but he would like
to argue any question or point made
In the report.
On yea and nay vote the bill to
limit the income Of Clemson from
the privilege tax to S175,0O0 was

BLEAsE IS RIGHT.
One OF His Messages Hits the Nail on
.E the Head.

The Columbia correspondent OF
the Charleston Post says Gov.
Blease's last message will meet the
approval Of everybody who knows
anything. about the conditions at the
State House, which are about as un-
satisfactory as they could be, and are
urged by sanitary authorities to be
unsanitary in the extreme. The Gen
eral Assembly has been very stingy
in the matter Of appropriations for
the State House, giving the most
meager sums for the care OF the
house and grounds.
Large sums have been appropriate
ed to buy furniture for the legisla-
tt, halls and for carpets and other
m. .:ellany, but an appropriation tor
the building or grounds would throw
the legislators into fits. Far be 1t
from any one TO suggest that the
appropriations for the furniture
might have been encouraged by the
fact that the members also agreed
to sell to themselves the old furn1-
ture at prices that set the teeth OF
the dealers in secondhand stuff on
edge.
1t is very funny to note the fact
that some of those men In the House
nifty of the State was suffering from
the shabblness of the desks and
chairs. and that no man could reas-
onably be asked by the State to SIT
at a desk and in a chair desecrated
| by the negro occupancy some years
ago, have those same desks and
chairs in their parlors and bed
rooms and offices today, having
bought them for SO and the new ones
cost about SIS.
