made him one of those whom
poverty cannot pinch. I say
South Carolina has no money to
spare for such purposes, when
ever it finds itself with money
to spare it can be rapidly ab-
sorbed by the public schools,
many of which are sadly IN need
Of help-help them and you will
make a citizenship that will not
have to be held in subjectlon by
the point of the bayonet.
A tuberculosis hospital is de-
manded and 1t too, was allowed
by the house. Possibly $4,000
can be we'll spent for this mat
ter, and because of the fact that
the lamented George r. Rem
bert was the author of the meas
ure, and died with his heart set
upon having such an institution
established by the State, I would
like to give it my support, but
it is impossible at this time. l
feel that this disease can be
treated at home as we'll as at a
hospital, because, the main
treatment is out of door living
and careful diet, those upon
whom this afdiction has been
placed cau with more comfort to
themselves and to their loved
ones adopt the tent life at home
for the present any way. This
question was discussed before
the Finance Committee by the
head of the state board of health
and he gave it as his opinion a
hospital building was not need
ed, but said the health depart
ment would be glad to have this
appropriation to erect tents and
shacks for those who desired to
be treated by the State. I ask.
ed him if there was an impera-
tive need for this appropriation,
his answer was Il cannot say it
lis, but we should like to have a
special place for the treatment
of this terrible disease"
Winthrop college has been the
recipient of many favors from
the legislature, and properly so,
we cannot do too much for the
future womanhood of this State,
and so far as I know this is the
first year the persuasive eio-
quence of DR.. D. B. johnson has
failed to arrest immediate COM
pliance with his demands for
Winthrop. The house allowed
him $4,000 for a gymnasium
and $4,000 for additional dor.

Gus on the part of the house,
and if the exchecouer of the
Estate was able should unhesi-
tatingly support the proposition;
we are where the spirit is will
ling but the flesh is weak, and
therefore must make our ratlons
supply our present needs or VIC
will find ourselves without ra
tions for the rest of the journey
''you can't eat your cake and
keep it too" If our public IN
stitutions wonld profit by the
experience of old soldiers who
won great victories by forced
marches and short rations, they
would not harass the legislature
| at this time for additional build
ings, and other matters they
can with but little inconvenience
do without for while. There
is no doubt about it, our educa-
tional institutions are costing a
whole lot of money, comparing
them with other institutions the
cost per capita varies against
US. therefore, we would urge
the heads Of these institutions
to take their fleet out of the
treasury trough: before the
people in their wrath rise up
and drive them away altogether.
How many of the women in this
State were given the advantage
of a gymnasium when they were
growing up, I have no objection
to such an adjunct but until we
are able I think the dear girls
can do as they have been doing
jumping the rope and useing
dumb, bells out of doors, skinning
the cat and playing circus in
doors with the present very
good equipment-a far better
equipment for acrobatic and
