came from the Grand Trunk Co. He
claims that he is entitled to $l.5l0.00J

was an anachronism Of 10000 years

Senalor Weston had to say and called
attention to the fact that the govern
or had attacked the members or an
other committee as ''guttersnipes."

ing resolution:
Whereas, the report Of the major
ity of the committee appointed to In
vesligate certain charges In regard TO
DIR. 5. c. Mitchell, president Of the
University OF South Carolina, In con-
nection with the Peabody fund, has
been denominated by his excellency,
the governor, as 'whitewashing.'
Therefore, be 1t resolved by the

hereby expresses its appreciation OF
the work of the committee and ex-
presses itself as having full confidence
in the integrity Of the members sign
ing the majority report, as we'll as In
the honesty Of its findings as set out
in the report submitted to the general
assembly"
IT hope the senator will withdraw
the resolution" said Senator -Appelt
senator Applet said that enough had
been said about the matter and he
wanted IL dropped as no good could
come out of 1t. He said that the re-
port and the message were printed In
the journal and that the public could
read and Judge for ITSELF Senator

doubt about the honesty Of the report
there was no need for the resolution.
Senator Crouch did not withdraw
the resolution. He stated that 1t mere
ly set forth the confidence OF the sem
ate in the honesty and integrity OF the
committee and said nothing about the
correctness Of their report. Senator
Ketchin, Senator Sullivan and Sena-
tor Epps spoke for the resolution.
Senator Appelt then stated that he
would see that the resolution would
not be adopted. He raised the point
of order that the mater could not be
given immediate consideration. Lieu
tenant Governor Smith ruled that he
was Of the opinion that the resolu-
lion could not be taken up without
unanimous consent in view Of the fact
that the senators had agreed not to
take up a matter of statewide import
ance in the absence Of a quorum. 1t
was agreed that the matter go over
until next session and Senator Applet
said that he would favor the resolu-
ton being taken up next year with
quorum present.

Az to Negro Education.
We find that the part Of this paper
that recommended that the remainder
of the fund, after giving 100000 to
each of the southern universities, be
given to the training Of negro teach
ers in the southern states, was In view
Of the terms Of the Peabody trust,
which contemplated that In the use
and distribution Of this fund, 1t was al
ways made clear that the negroes OF
the south would receive a share OF
this fund in accordance with the terms
of the trust.
We find that the part Of this paper
fhat recommended that 100000 be
given to each of the southern univer-
stiles was In line with the thought on
this subject beginning as far back as
1906, the difference between the pol
icy Of the trustees as finally adopted
and the papers as submitted by the
southern educators, being that the
latter named 100000 as the amount
to be given to each Of the southern
universities, while the trustees only
gave $4,000 to some Of them, and
$4,000 to others. Under the recon-
mendations as contained in this pa
per, the negroes Of the south would
nave received less than they did actu-
ally receive in their final distribution
of the Peabody fund.
Winthrop Got $4,000.
We find that in the ultimate distrt-
button of the Peabody fund, which oc-
Cured in November, 1911, Winthrop
college received $4,000 and the Uni
versity of South Carolina $4,000, while
in the other southern states the uni
versities received $4,000, except the
Universities of Texas, Missouri and
Johns Hopkins, which received 50, ,0OO
each. The negroes Of the south re-
ceiVed the sum Oh SooV,VVV, anu tie
balance Of the fund was given to the
Peabody Normal college at Nashville,
Tenn, this latter school receiving IN
all $1,50O,000, Of which $1,OOO,O0
had been received before the final dis
tribution was made. The other COL
leges Of the south similar to Winthrop
received nothing in the final distribu-
ton of this fund.
The testimony before US did not
show that Winthrop college received
less by reason of the paper submitted
to the Peabody trustees by the south
ern educators. The committee feels
that while 1t Is to be regretted that
Winthrop college was not remember
ed in the final distribution Of the Pea
body fund as DR.. Johnson had had
reasonable ground to expect, still we
think that the Peabody trustees were
alone responsible for this fact.
We recommend that this report, to-
gether with the testimony hereto at
tached, be printed.
