for five years until total Of $75O,OOO
is raised for this purpose.
One of the Big Fights.
One of the big fights every summer
before the elections Is the size Of the
appropriations for the State colleges.
This sum reached the past year the
total Of $i07,415.75, not including
Clemson College, which realizes from
the fertilizer tag tax under normal
conditions about $2G0,000 each year,
which runs the amount spent on the
State colleges up to $700,000. The fer
tiliZcr tag tax was off last year and
the legislature authorized the State to
borrow about $S7,50O and loan it to
Clemson.
If the requests Of the State institu-
tons arc granted this year for addi-
tional appropriations this item alone
will go to nearly $1000,00O. Winthrop
College is going to ask for 100000 for
a new dOrmtory. The University will
ask for $4,000 for law building and
probably for more improvements. Re-
quests always come from other of the
State colleges for increased appropri-
ations for improvements.
The appropriations in the last ap-
preparation bill for the State colleges
were: University of South Carolina,
SOL, ISL Winthrop, $156,249.32;
Citadel $3S,5Oo; Cedar Springs, $780,
600; State Negro College, $15,600
If the fertilizer tag tax does not pro-
duce enough revenue Clemson College
will certainly have to ask for direct
appropriations to meet the expenses.
Whether they will make such re-

STATE APPROPRIATION BILL LOOMS LARGE
Governor Manning Study ing Varons Items of State Ex
pense with the Idea of Using the Pruning Knife
Wherever Possible. Appropriation Bill Grows
Larger Every Year.

Columbia, Dec. 5.-Serious atten-
tion is being given by Governor Rich
ard l. Manning to the public approrri-
alton and he is studying the various
items of expense to see where the
pruning knife can be applied. He has
preparations kept down to the very
lowest possible figure, and 1t Is be-
lieved that the Chief Executive will
make vigorous recommendation in
public economy.
The appropriation bill of the last
session carried $2,463, ,759.S2, the great
est in the history Of the State The
State levy for the purpose of raising
the money to meet the appropriations
was seven mills this year, as against
six mills for 1914.
The appropriation bill for 1914 car
ried $2,14G,253.04 and levy Of six
mills. The extra session Of the Gen
cral Assembly in the fall Of 1914 ap-
propriated $125,SSS.42, which made the
total for that year the last year of
the administration of Governor Blease,
$2,272, ALAG. The appropriation bill
for 1916 the first year Of the admins
tration of Governor Manning, carried
an increase Of $191 ,61S.36 more than
the total of the appropriations under
the last year Of the administration Of
Governor Blease. This increase came
through tlfe appropriation of $150,000
for the Improvement Of the State
Hospital for the Insane and the in
creased pensions for Confederate Vet
Grams. A levy Of one-half mill was
made to raise the money for the Asy-

quest for this year is not yet known.
Just few years ago the appropria-
tion bill Of the State was just 81 ,00O,-
90. 1t has now reached $2,500000 and
indications are that all the efforts of
the Governor will not be able to keep
1t from going higher. AS a matter Of
fact, one legislator said this morning
that the $3,O00,0O0 mark might be
reached earlier than expected. When
this happens the State levy will jump
to ten mills.
Sending Out Blanks.
Comptroller Gen. Calton w. Sawyer
was busy today sending out blanks to
the various State officials and public
institutions for their estimates of
what they will need for 1916 He will
compile these requests in the form of
budget sheet and present it to the
House ways and means committee to
assist them in making up the appro-
priation bill. 1t was estimated here
today that all the requests will total
close to $3,0O0,OOO.
There is q general impression
among officials who are posted that
when the State tax commission gets
through eQualizing property assess
ments that the State levy can be low
cred even though the size of the ap-
preparation bill is increased. The idea
Of the commission is to get all pro-
perty paying it's just share of the tax
eS. The Governor may have something
Of interest to say along this line in
his annual message to the general as
sembly.
The work Of framing the revenue
measure will fall on Chairman j. T..
Lilies and his compatriots Of the ways
and means committee of the House,
and when the body is through Chair
man Neils Christensen and his asso
ciates Of the finance committee of the
Senate will pass on every item.
Just where or how the appropria-
ton bill can be reduced is what Gov
ernor Manning is now considering.

Mr.. Chapman had been ailing for
some time, his trouble being brights

the cause of much sorrow to his large

In early days Mr.. Chapman was a

For six o'clock is time enough for ris-

And everybody soothed and sent to
