To the Editor of the News and Courier:j 0 c A separate agricultural college is de- .. manded because the agricultural depart-. 0 meat of the South Carolina College has | ti ftttr&i-.tev- n ? sf relents. ! " Capt. Tillman says t~o students have " studied a little agricultural chemistry. Others concede eight cr ten. Let us v consider v,-nether the College has failed ~ to att^ct the students it should have, t and, if so, whether the fault lies vrith the t plan of organization of the College, or is ^ to be sought elsewhere. t A recital of the Congressional Act of c 1S02, under which the land scrip was j i . : given, will show the scope of the Act, i j and will determine what classes of stu- j c dents arc to be considered in receiving j " its benefits. It will be seen that: First, there is no authority whatever : for the argument that the land scrip < fund should be devoted entirely to the ] teaching of agriculture. I call special t attention to the words of the Act. 3 Section -i provides that the income of. 1 fU-. 'Urv "fr> tlip r>rt- t IliC ' 1 i*r 1 i Mv UCVViVU W ?A*V _ dowment of at least one college where ; the leading object shall be, without excluding other scientific and classical 1 studies and including military tactics, to ? teach such branches of learning as are ' related to agriculture and the mechanic arts, and in such manner as the Legislatures of the States may prescribe, in order to promote the liberal and practical education of the industrial classes in Ihe several pursuits and professions of life." The college receiving the money must pay attention to mechanical arts equally with agriculture, and must lit young men, not for farming alone, as Capt. JLlH?Irt,'t ^UiOXV.4^ Kr&^x. f v-~ Ifvw^vk | have it, but fcr the several pursuits and ; professions of Jife. Not even classical j studies are excluded, and the education j must be "liberal" as well as "practical." j ? The South Carolina College fulfils the j requirements ci the Ac: of Congress j x more fully to-day than the Mississippi; College, for the latter does not provide a "liberal" education. Is ignores the mechanical training', which is of equal > importance v,-ith agriculture, and it does not claim to tr.dn boys for the "several pursuits and professions of life," but trim Wit- ?/->- foTM'V/Y Tr> +lt(i Of : Mr. QSiomas, it puts ail the* eggs into one basket. The College in Columbia has more scientific than literary professors, more scientific than literary studies, more scientific than literary courses, and more students tuhing those studies that are j related to agriculture and mechanic arts than these that are not; foi the latter there are very few studies. It also not * 1-2?- i- T?i J merely cmms tu i*i, L.-a? uocs u.u, * young men "for the several pursuits and j professions in life." j But some one Las discovered a genuine mare's nes':, in ih:-.z rue establishment of an agricultural deportment of a Statecollege is an evasion of the Act above quoted, and the trustees of the South Carolina College have been accused of "stealing the farmers' money." (This same Act, by the way, shov.-s that the' money does'not belong to the farmers alone, but to the industrial classes.") Now the absolute legality of the de i. j. _i?. * ??i!? pHTI UC-'ii ^.'.1.1: J ioug ego. The very Hitch, bill itself settles any doubt by giving the custody of its $15,000 appropriation to "the coi? ' lege, or colleges, or agricultural departments of colleges in each State or Terri-; tory." After tiu.?, bo sane ana noness man j can attack the legality or regularity of the agricultural department; system. Such being the law, the South Carolina j College is entitled to claim at least all j 1 _i?3 ? i . ?v., : I Yt?U luac ty.lii.CV uo j cultural or the mechanical courses?at ) least all those students XJ.0 perform | ^<iTinp-. labor in the workshops?and j even the most ultra advocate of manual j labor must accord this. There vrere in the College during the j past year ten students in the regular! agricultural course and nineteen in the : mechanical and engineering courses, be- j sides a number of elective and optional i students, making a total of abouS forty j ~ students in the agricultural and median- j icai department. Ii those who work in j lftr.ors>fnrv hp f?-.<?!ni7Art. f.'ift nnmbfe? ! is swelled to at least fifty. J These students are here, and may be seen at -work by any doubting Thomas j srhen the College is in session. These courses, in spite of the assertions! of those -R-ho do not understand them, j are thorough and practical, and turn out j better and more accomplished graduates J than ccme /rem most separate agrieul- j Yvhy are there no more "agricultural" students? Simply because tlie agricultural course is a technical one, highly specialized, drawn up by President JvlciJryde after the best European models. Only those take it who wish to become highly scientific farmers. The requirements for admission are a full year higher than the standard of the Mississippi , College. Other courses, the mechanical , especially, may suit ordinary farmers ; better than this technical one. Even the < classical course contains many scientific ; studies pertaining to agriculture and the i mechanic- arts. ! s* A very important difference between 1 the two colleges in question lies in the j rK tTprPT>f"io Hr>n n-f f>Ar>-ecot* in Mia nnn .,-.-3 . a uniformity of curriculum in the other. I: To secure the benefit of the cheap and | i good mental training offered in Missis-! < sippi, the young men are compelled to ! 1 take the agricultural course;* but since c lifty per cent, of the students of that inctifnt/imi fin tM.hm / inference is irresistible that, had thev j ? been allowed the option, they would i have chosen some other, lit-ting'them for s some other "pursuit and profession in 1 s -- life." I propose to show tins more inily < later on by proving that the Mississippi i College attracts by its cheapness as much J as by its agriculture. i Again, oi ail the youths v/ho have, at- 1 tended Gen. Lee's College, about one-: nan imvc wcvii i/iv:/itn4wrv siuueiits WJIO : > have practically studi'd no agriculture t and done no compulsory farm -work, t During the nrst iive years, out of an f aggregate attendance of all students of t 1,523, not less thai: 057 left college prior o to the 1st of May of each year. This is p ?aid not in disparagement of the Missis- h sivvi College. but as an answr to f sanguine reformers who claim every one j of these 657 boys as a finished farmer n and use him as a bludgeon with which i \v to break the head of the South Carolina ' A College. . . , 0 If all the "preps" and all others who st have left the Mississippi College before o: the end of tho freshman year be thrown t! 'out of the reckoning, the comparison oi made between these two institutions will I< not be so "odious." 01 A siiH further reason may be given for ti the large attendance ac the Mississippi m College. President Lee's report shows a: tnat aunng tne year "I7rt j tc students vrent through the entire session , oi on an average of ?SS.23; 100 students on a<: an average of $53.67; 50 students on an pi average of $21.56; 25 students on an fo average of S15.-10. Six students paid! their vray and had a balance of several j tb dollars to their credit." < : iernnal rw- : en Port, 2884^85 ) -t-his isth* ^ , ;: cat! ^Itub that contain* ^ < '/it, ,r. . tie i se y;- .. . >V;..,*?,."

Now, since tiiis fo: bo? is utterly unreraunerative, entail- j th :g a cost of $32 a bale for the mere i to icking of cotton, it can be seen that the tic ollege has a generous iaxpaying public n<e ehind it, viiiiag to suher financial loss j w< order t-o cheapen education for de fa irving young men.

In the name V* f the farmers' sons, and other men's l" ons, why? K' Now, if the Mississippi Legislature f? (Ould withdraw this $5,0UO bonus and harge tuition. Gen. Lee's College would ? u3Vr fearful loss, as he himself would '/ estify.

No one who has witnessed the struggles V nade by parents to educate their cliilin. n. the severe sacrifices, the actual privation of the necessaries of life for v ;his purpose, will doubt that the cheap- P aess, quite 2s much as the character of c ;he education, determines largely tbe c jlass and numbers of students tliat will L lvail themselves of it. * President Lee evidently regards free a tuition and tlie bonus us the corner-stone s of his college. Yet the draft, of the bill I that was to be passed last year in our p Legislature establishing a separate col- 1 lege was reported to contain a proviso ' requiring tuition lees. This wa^ a mere ; 1 blind, or else a serious divergence from i the plan of the Mis^i sippi College that * we have all been brought to consider a c model. It was a case of Hamlet with 1 the Prince of Denmark left out. Without ] this f:ee tuition and bonus a separate 1 agricultural college in South Carolina 1 for poor fannorii' sons would be a mag- j nine en t failure. Yet liow is a public I ' sentiment tliat would not tolerate free 13 tuition only in the South Carolina Coi- i3 lege goiug to be brought to the point; of j teaching a youth free and paying him besides? . 1 "I pause for a reply." i>. Columbia, S.

I propose, then, to continue to reply to j the arguments used against an agricul- j turai college separate and apart from the \ State University, and in favor of con- j' tinuing and enlarging the present use-; less annex. I may remark, however, j that "D." and "Dixie," at least, are so : manifestly one and tbe same person, ; that I shall treat the arguments of the I two as coming :rom the same source. I raav also remark that when L consider a i' point clearly established, I shall frankly . admit it, and treat it accordingly. Such ; I consider to by the case with reference to the conditions of the H< tea bill. In a former article I made reference to > certain supposed?not iisserted? condi-; tions of that bill, for I did not have it: ; before me. As is well knowc, it has j been the custom since the war to insert a clause in such appropriations, provid-1 i-n/v th?t tliev shall be nsfd imr>artia]ir i between the two races, and presuming that the Hatch bill contained such, a clause, asd in order to meet the i*c-?joire- j ! mentis of the State law as to two stations, ; I suggested locating the low-country experimental staiiun in connection with ' Ciaf.in University. But now, on careful examination of the bill itself, arid as ; shows, it contains no condition of ; this kind, but leaves it pretty much en- : tirely "with the .Legislatures of the several . States and lorrjtones to dispose of the : amount appropriated, us they see tit, for ' the purposes therein designated. It is true that Section I provides that where two such colleges (agricultural) or derailments of colleges exist., the amount ! allowed shall be equally divided between ; ( them, "unless the Legislature of such State or Territory shall otherwise direct." ; j Bo in our c.?e it must be admitted that it depends entirely upon the action of : ! our Legislature as to whether or net: ' Clahiu University shall receive any por- j j tion of this fund, as it does of the origi- j j nal agricultural fuuu. Hero is not the i time or place to enter into a discussion j as to the abstract justice of such a diver- j? sion; for I presume it will not be denied ' ^ ULi&v yyianin xi-io c.xx a^,JiLA. xl ; 4 the State Univ^sity has.

T The refereneo to Cornell University * proves nothing in oux and in other t respecfs is a very uniortunate one lor i "I)." to invoke. In the first place, j 1 Cornell University ov/ns its foundation ? originally to the Act of Congrese of 1802 , donating public hn&s to establish and ! * maintain" agricultural and mechanical * colleges. Under this Act tiie State of j . Mew York got nine, hundred and ninety j thousand (990,000) acres in land scrip. I ? This all went to Cornell. So we see, r this magnificent institution has been re- ^ gardeu as an agricultural and mechaaisal college from its origin. To this * splendid nxtional donation 3Ir. Cornell I idaed five hundred thousand dollars and j I Dver t^o hundred acres of knd, with LQ buildings, for the use of the agricultural j j lepartment. j 0 While the leading idoa of the national; j( ionation was to encourage ike study of j ^ igricultare and the mechanic arts, the ; idea of 3ir. Cornell was to found an in-1 stitutiou where everything could be j aught that any one would be likely to : >, lesire to learn. To carry out this ides, lis friend and active coworker, Andrew *; D. Tv'hite, was sent abroad to study ^ 'oreign institutions of learning, especial-!'. ? i-T- . 1 _ .1: n l- 1 / . : r% O y Luusiz sj^catua msuiauons, tue Lrernan polytechnic schools. I know ! vheroof I speak, because I had occasion ''L hen to meet Prof. White for the first ime. and to'shew hiin through and ^ umish him the documents relative to ' m he organization of one of the very bett; f these schools. The result has' bees,; erhaps, the most complete university | i the strict sense o: the term that the ; ountry contains. But how lias the agricultural depart' j ?, lent, the very "leading object" for v hich Corneli was founded, flourished? .ccording to th? catalogue of 28SC-7, at of 82U students there were only 37 . bu indent? of agriculture. The senior class u; ? 97 had only one studying agriculture; is is junior of 145, only 7; the sophomore 3'? ! 178, only 9; the freshman of 323, only )'? j; and t'icn " special students, making . lJj: at the 37. We see then, in an institu- (//on. like Cornell, founded originally J .airily an an agricultural college, with ^ 1 endowment such as few other instiLtions in the land possess, and the pet : the great State of New York, how the ' jricultural department fails to as com- ha ish the purpose for which it was I un unded. \ crc I believe we would find approyimately Pei .e same state of things with all theagri-: ho u > - ? siturai annexes in ine country, ir is ! ily the agricultural colleges that are j 00 parate and apart from other institu-; *DU jns, such as in Michigan, in Kansas, | . id more recently in Mississippi, that i foi ' - ! :? JM.M1LM.IL.L1. . ? BMaMMMMMW ; find properlv fulfilling the purposes i r which they were founded. Can we, ; , en, in South Carolina, reasonably hope ! ' change this state of facts, and make t- J >urishing agricultural acncx in con- j ion with the State University? Can : nope to succeed where Cornell has 3 ili d. i "D."' undertakes to refute Mr. t homas's estimate of the proportion of ? ft f ho ore I presume we liave no exact data, , tfcer iu the comptroller general's office ! <-i.~ewhere, to show the exact amount j ! t. burden of taxation borne by the rmer? or any other one dass, and it is, ;ib:.ps, well thai we should not have. would remark, in the first place, rut llio .$706,312 Slate taxes does not by jv means represent the entire tax paid v the people of the State. They have i addition to pay county, township and Lunioipal taxes, and here they get no distance from railroads or phosphate rallies. These i presume were inudeu in Mr. Thomas's estimate. In le next place, I insist that the farmers ay indirectly a very considerable proortion bo:h of the railroad tax aud the hosphate royalty. I do not know to hat extent the price of land phosphates, sed ohieiiv by our farmers, may be Sected by tlie royalty on water phosh&ies, which, I believe, are mostly hip2>ed outside the State. But it will be remembered that not ery Ion g since, when Capt. Tillman reposed to increase this royalty to proure a fund to establish the agricultural oliege, a great outcry was made by hese same opponents of the college on he ground that it would be an addition1 burden on the farmer. But now it eerns to suit them to forget this, and >retend that this royalty is not paid by he farmer. As to the railroad tax "D.;I c wntirolrr rrirt infnrmPfl as to the mrden borne by our people by tariii asiiTioB, as lie lias recently shovn by his xodlent articles writtvn elsewhere, not o know that this railroad tax comes inlirectly out of the pockets of those who ise ilie railroads. The formers whose jrcduce is carried to market by rail, and .vhose supplies are brought back to them jy rail, assist in pajing this tax. I insist then that the figures cited by "]D." from the comptroller general's report do not give even an approximate r,f r.hp himlpn of tavatinr; that nnr farmers have to bear; and that 2-Ir. I Thomas is likely, upon the whole, Dearer | e&rrect than he is. i>ut "D." admits that "South Carolina J has always beei), and most probably always will be, an agricultural State, so that her chief wealth will be derived direcily froai the soil by the toil and sweat of a large proportion of her people." Should we not then provide for the education and improvement of this "large proportion of our people," I will not say r\r Tvrit. ac irf-ll ac fnr til A "crpnpv al literary, scientific and polite caiture" of the few who intend to be preachers, doctors and lawyers? I do not object, as "D." would have your readers believe, to the literary, scientific and polite culture of all who have the means of obtaining it, be he farmer's son or lawyers son. But how few proportionally of our farmers' sons can afford either the tifiv; or the means of obt lining this culture in our comparatively expensive Stitc University or denominational college.'-/?

At the Mississippi College about six youDg men on an iver:i.:e conid be educated for what it eo-.ts to educate one at the South Carolina University. Have not these six young men at least as much right to eon sideranon as tne one who goes to me University, apd are they not likely to be juirt as useful to their community and State? Why then should South Carolina i so completely neglect the half dozen and ] so carcfuily provide for the one? As for the ' 'broad culture" that "D." so insists upon in our State University, I j think it more than likely that the culture ; obtained either in the Jlicibgan or j Mississippi Colleges would be qaite as broad, more practical and liberal, ar>d j perhaps less egotistic and supercilious. ; Ihe Michigan College has twenty-five ; professors and tutors, the Mississippi I twenty-two, while our State University j lias only fifteen or sixteen in all, includ- j r?rr fliD liforomr or?/-1 ! nc-iit-s. Which, then, is host equipped i n the vay of tochers? While agricul- i rare is the predominant feature in both j :hoie colleges, they both teach a certain :mounf- of nearly everything, except law, langiit in our State University, quite ?noi-gh, no doubt, for '-'broad culture," md lor all practical purposes as well. j Great stress is laid by "D." on the! jractical mechanical education that may | ) obtained in the State University, and 1 >0 4- Ap CAr^.A AlftA !

In long pet- j icoats women could neither ciimb, ; ^ ace, drive engines, walk, ride, work at j r ,he bench, nor work at the lecture j ,, able, the school, or the laboratory, ;v vith the facility of 'non as men are at- | n ;ired. Whatever, therefore, there is of j jlegance in the present form of female j ittire. that must be sacrificed lo the | n lecessities of competition with men in i. .he work common to men. It may be r :hat there is not m::ch to be said ci igainst this change. It may be argued, v jven by women, that the pulling along C }f pounds1 weight of clothes which lie l Dn the ground and require, for com- 11 fort, a page or waiting-maid to carry tliem, is a tax 01 me worse Kinu on human endurance; to women a plague, to men a joke. It may be that the ^ modern woman's absurd fashionable i dress, which turns her into a semi- 1 erect dromedary, is not all that could 1 be desired; but for her to play her part \ as the rival of man in work she must change dress altogether, and be iefc as [ free of limb as men. If she is not to be ! so far emancipated, then" she bids fair I \ to remain as she has been ali along the j ! course of time, a woman; a human be- j j ing, by the oommon consent of man- j kind in relation to dress, restrained by i * < i l I ' Uress; a woman prouu 01 ner granu ( robes, content to bear the weight of them, content to tolerate the incon- j venience of them, and content to suffer < herself to be admired under all such ] unnecessary pains and penalties. To many women it would be a great j i sacrifioe to give up these outward and i visible signs of women's dignity and 1 women's destiny, for dignity and destiny ' in her case combine. The dress she ! wears under the regime of woman, the mother of men and women, is the si^n 1 of the destiny which holds her from the f active work of men, and which affords j, her the opportunity for bedecking her- : self, so as to fulfill her destiny with ele- j gance and fascination.
