STATE COLLEGES. For the support of South Carolina voter'irr-iw.. College, 828,iou. ^ J w. When the appropriation .bill was again taken up in the eveWng. the was the first to be discussed. Mr. Eflrd wanted tocut the proposed Win- throp appropriation from 852,000 to 845,000. Mr. Deliruhl wanted to make __ It 148,000. Mr. Laney thought it futile to discuss such appropriations after the ways and meana committee bad so carefully gone Into the ques- Uld. It would cripple the college and do little good to the State treasury. Mr. Holman opposed the bill. He did not believe in letting the ways and means committee make all the laws, —r- —— Mr. McCain, of York, declared that Wlnthrop has been getting no more Mian she needs. They actually need %7,000 more than the ways and means committee had recommended. He charged Mr. Rllrd with being an ene my to Wlnthrop. % - Mr. Ljinl burled back the insinua-' • lion. He was not an enemy to Win- throp, hut a friend of the 52,000 white girls in the common schools. Mr, Barron, of York, declared that •4 the truibecs, Igmorablo and capable men, have made their recommenda tion, and they ought to know more of Wlnthrop^ needs than Mr. Efird knows. Mr. Cooper last year had opposed making Winthrop's appropriation 800,- 000 and had succeeded in getting it —cut down to 852,000. He thought further reduction Would cripple the college. trustees is worth more than tlie geo- jutoners to give aid. era) opinion of the outsiders. Mr. Llde defended his amendment. He Is no enemy to Wlthroo. The trus tees of these colleges always ask for more than they expect to get. The vote on the adoption of the amendment was then taken, resulting In Its favor‘57 to 50. --T-”' TliE CITADEL. ' ’The Citadel academy's tlon was the first thing when the appropritlon bill, iip Wednesday morning., Mr. Efird mnved"trrcut the appro priation from 825,000 to 822,000.

J Iferbert showed how low the salary list at the Citadel Is as com pared with other State colleges. Mr.: Herbert disclaimed "attacking” Wlrt- throp as had been published - In The State, but he was openly opposing un necessary expenditures. Mr. FeurTToy and Mr. Holman favored the appro priation to the Citadel. They spoke of the glorious record of dtadet ca dets.

Herbert of Orangeburg said he would not attadfe 'this college, but lie called attention to the fact that this institution spends more money than the South Carolina col lege. Itgets enough from the Hatch and Morrill funds to run the appro priations up to 829,000.

He told how the appropriations, had been secured.esery year by representations made to the Orangeburg delegation, but the Orangeburg representatives afe better informed on conditions this year. Mr. Richards and Mr. Jeremiah Smith called attention to the fact that the Hatch and Morrill funds would be jeopardized If this appropriation be tampered with. TOM MILLKK OKMCIOrS..

Mr. Llde offered an amendment that tbe scholarships be- paid out of the vegular appropriation. The hill re commended that 85,458 be adcled for these scholarships. Mr. Beamguard moved to tableXhe amendment. The house by a vote of 56 to 51 refused to table tlie amendment. ^ Mr. McCain and Mr. Follock then appealed for tbe amendment to be re jected. To cut 85,456 for scholarships would be a serious blow to the college. Mr Mosses showed that this would be CJemson would be put in Jeopardy. Mr. .Ino.* F. -Thomas, Jr., declared that the committee recommendation Is entitled to some consideration. The gentlemen from Orangeburg had made broad statements without-show ing facts.

He declared the annual report is a jumble of figures made up by "Tom Miller and his negroes, and you all know "fonr-MBler.^ He showed where tlie expenses could be reduced by giving Tom Miller 81,000 instead of 81,800 and cutting Che salaries all along the line.
