Mr. Editor :?We dislike to oppose any re* columella)ion made by our excellent Governor, but we think when any measure is proposed which threatens the general good of tho people of a State or community, they should be heard; , let Gjatinea^M^JCo^p, front whatever source it j burden of taxes, without enhancing the yeneral 1 I good militates against the best intcrcsls of the ' , people. We believe the recommendation "Cou, corning tho two Universities is ill-timed and uncalled for, and if carried out would be injurious to a large majority of the people. It would . entail upon tlicm a heavier burden of taxes? 1 . which is already too henvy?while it would ben, ofit comparatively but few. And this burden would have to be borne so long as the two universities existed, or continued to be sustained j as the one is now, and lots hern since its cstab, lishment. What we have said of the two Universities applies to the one now existing. This University . of (lie state is an excellent place for tlie rich , for comparatively few poor young men enter its , halls, to get their education cheaply ami per, feet themselves in habits of dissipation, while t tho State receives but meager compensation for fcj r t-i v*iVi\v ^>.4 ^ - | I 1 Make tlic University self-sustaining, by a lib cral endowment, and place it under the control c of some other body or power than it now is, and . we will hid you God speed. Let the endow2 incut be a free will offering and no gathering s of taxes for that object, and loud aniens will be j heard from every quarter of this tax-ridden l State. j Furinan University in Greenville and Wo fiord 1 t'ollcgo in Spartanburg furnish "cheap and uinr pic means of acquiring knowledge" to the white male youth, not only of this State hut of others t also. And we may add, these institutions of . learning are n?w in successful operation, witli5 out having imposed any tax at all upon the pco5 pie. While such advantages of acquiring knowledge cheaply arc afforded there seems litj tie necessity for taxing an impoverished peop'o j to keep up a State University, and still less to 2 build another. . , We are pleased to sce^nu art1 down flpffnth'nt enrse to the planter, the lien law. We huveytt to meet the prudent thinking farmer who wishes it extended one </ /,?/. It has already cxisud s too long for the good of our county.
