MR CAMLIN ON TAXES. flow They Should be Distributed Among Schools. Editor County Record: Your scribe would like to have the views of some ot the readers of the County Record as to cutting the vsoaey in twain that is allowed Qemson college and some of the pay taxes lor tnis education 01 me rich and well-to-do children. I would like to know when one, poor or orphan child ever entered one of those colleges. If he or she ever learns to read and write it is in the old field school with a dirt chimney and sometimes a dirt floor. The first school the writer attended was sealed between the logs with dirt and ' we sat on logs hewed fiat for seats and benches,and some of pur smartest men got their education in some of those humble school huts. I don't want to be put down as opposing higher institutions of learning in our State, but I am opposod to having our common schools cripi pled and our poor children raised in utter ignorance to uphold colleges and educate only the children whose parents are fully able to educate them independent of the State or its aid. This I call making the poor people pay for what they can't afford. Every farmer in South Carolina is paying taxes to Clemson college. Can one-fourth of those farmers afford to send their sons there? No,because they can send them to a denominational college for less. Why, then, should the farmers' moaey be given to this school? Old Mr Clemson donated monev to start this college,and why can't it be self-supporting, just as all other independent colleges are? I favor cutting out the guano tax, giving Clemson a small appropriation and distributing the fertilizer tax all over the State to the common schools, also making them, a liberal State appropriation. Then we shall all get our equal ihare of the guano tax. Give 20% of the guano tax with a liberal appropriation from the State to the worthy Confederate soldiers and widows of South Carolina. Make the same sufficient to give every worthy old soldier or widow at least $50 to $100 per year, according to his or her condition. The writer has no kindred whatever who is drawing a pension, but I do think that our coming Legislature should do something for our worthy old soldiers. We should take care of our old and those who once took care of us and see to it that our rising generation *re educated,both rich and poor. We have a whoop and hurrah about educating the negro, but I - - - J X A. I Bay ilet the negro eaucaie uie iie* . and if our people of the proud State of South Carolina don't wake up as to education among our poor class of white people the negro will soon teach the whites. It's alarming to see how many of our white people today have to touch the pen when called upon to sign his or her name. This responsibility rests upon our bwmakers to make it possible for our children to attend the schools that the law they enact provides, and the books that are so prescribed other higher institutions 01 learning in our State. Clemson is using enough money, if it were evenly divided with our rural schools, to add quite a nice little sum to the poor farmers' boys and girls. This money is paid in to Clemson by some poor farmers, but as to their boys going to Clemson it is an utter impossibility.for Clemson will charge the poor farmer boy more cash money, I dare ay nearly double, what he can send his son to a denominational college for. Now,in the face of this,we have quite a number of our people that ire not able to send their children to college at all, but would be glad to have them attend a good.rural school at home, because those children, while going to school,can help their parents at home. If half of the large appropriations that are made annually to those State colleges and the guano tax that goes to Clemson were evenly divided with our common schools, in less than five years you would not find a child fifteen years old that could not write his or her name. No teal poor man's child can or ever will attend one of those State colleges, yet we are all called upon to - * i a?__ _ r , by the State Board have kept many children from school, not being able 1 to provide themselves with the proper books. The cost of books is nearly as heavy as the tuition used to be in days gone by. Respectfully, W S Camlin. I Andrews, July 8. Farmers' Union Meetinos.

A man may hedge and hedge and be a liar. Rub-My-Tism will cure you. , remedy which cured years ago, which has kept the kidneys in good health since, can be relied upon to perform the same work in other cases. Rta l 1 this: Mrs T C Matthews,1502 Front St, Georgetown,S Car,says: "For a long time I was afflicted with kidney and bladder trouble. I rested poorly and I grew weak and lame. I noticed that the kidney secretions were unnatural and accordingly doctored for kidney complaint,but nothing helped me until I used Doan's Kidney Pills. They removed the trouble with the kidney secretions, relieved the pain and cured the backache. 1 consider this remedy worthy of my endorsement." (Statement given March 23, 1909). A WILLING CORROBORATION. On January 13, 1911, Mrs Matthews said: "You may continue to use my endorsement of Doan's Kidney Pills, as I feel that I cannot say too much in their praise. This remedy is certainly a good one for kidney trouble." For side by all dealers. Price 50 cents. Foster-Milburn Co, Buffalo, New York, sole agents for the United States.
