Free Tuition Again.
No doubt man v of our rea icrs suppose, from
the tenor of our article list wool., on a ' free 1
tuition compromise,'' that \vc h id got "on the
feliCO " upon that subject.
Not ut all. friend*. Ue recognise a great
necessity for ' higher education among the
masses of the people of this State, and kuowiug
that a very large majority of the mnsses are
poor, wo nrc deci ledly in favor of placing that
necessary higher education within the reach of
every b >y in the Slate, so that the worthy and
ambitious sums t f tlie poor may stand upon the
same vantage grouii I as the sons of the rich,
iu the great buttle of life. It is a peculiar
fact that this great hue and cry against free
tuition in the State College, did not ori: inatc
with tho largc-t and mo t prosperous taxpayers
of the State nor do we lind t.iany of them
ioiuiu1' in tho erv now. outside of those who
arc graduates, ?r are direct!^ interested, hy
being bundh >1 tors other \ i tc. in tlie <1 enotiiiuational
Colleges.
All the uciiuniim!i ?ii.il colleges linvo a free
111 it ion feature in tlicin : hut they confine thai
high privilege solely to the sons of ininialcra
of their reapc'tivc denominations: they offer
it to no other class ami they .e>k the people to
abolish free tuition f"r th>ir sons in the South
Carolina College in order that the denominational
colleges may l?c hotter able to maintain
free tuition for their mini-tor's sons, who may
or may not, after graduating, embrace tho holy
calling of tlieir fathers very f w of them do.
Now. we are decidedly in favor of paying the
ministers of the <iospcl well, and of giving them
every advantage possible, including free tuition
for their children, but we seo neither justice nor
sound public policy in selecting their sons as
the only hoys in ihc State out it I id to free tuition
in the higher branches of education.
It may he said that this i- taking ati extreme
viow of the question ; hut we do not think it is.
Tho denominational colleges oiler free tuition to
a limited class, an I the stale college opens its
doors to all classes of people, the rich and the
poor alike, standing upon Ihc same plnno of
privilege* and advantages ; luit c!??<c ith doors
to free tuition pupil* and yon cI"?o its doors to
more than one-lm!t'tlic young men ?it" ilio State,
and conliuc the benefits of free tuition to ministers
sons only,in the den itiiinatioiiul colleges,
for which the pay-pupils will, of course, have
to pay. It. will bo virtually taking free tuition
from the masses and bestowing it upon a class
low. That would be the inevitable res tilt of
destroying the free initio i feature of the S.
t'ollege : and the argument that free tuition in
the St ile College is unji-.t. because it compels
ot.o tax-payer to pay the tuition of another,
Coincs with bad grace from the defenders of denominational
colleges licit depend upon the
money of pay-pupils?pet h ips poor boys?to
defray the tuition expenses of a favored few.
Mas it ever occurred t>> lite voters of this
State what it would cost to obi tin a full Collegiate
course, if free tuit:'.n wa> ah.dished?
Well, the regular time required i- t years, aud
the price, !?'>0 a year, making fJM for the
course: and if there are <>\o boys in .1 family,

worth of property, but so encumbered ore they
with debt that they could not p .s? oly pay .yo'.iI
a year for tuition and upon their death they
would leave their l'atnilic poor indeed: hut
with good educations, which no rfli/1 >ck could
take from tlietii, the sons would h ue a better

the space, to auswer "Free Tu lion" and others !i
in this article, but 1 hold tnyself ready to '
discuss tlio issus when, under their proper sig- ^
natures, they shall see lit to advocate the "college
policy. 1 propose, no-.v, t>> cull attention
to some points that the people should know. a
The South Carolina College, as a Collego, has ''
no enemies iu the county, Ilut the " collego
policy, or, iuore properly, lite policy of the ''
Trustees aud Legislature, with regard to the
college, is so objectiouable, tin Icinocratic, un- %
just aud illegal, that the peoplo ouly need to 3
understand it to overthrow it~thc policy, and u
a t the College. It is sought to win support for 1
' tlio policy by representing it as the poor 3
man's hope aud the poor - n s college ; but at *
the timo that this universal free tuition policy c
was inaugurates uv tnc trustees ana made po3siblo
and eilcotivc l>y appropriations by the '
Legislature, two facts coiilioined them: 1
The first was this, that the organic lav lut>l
provided free tuition for more poor students '
than wore 'sen in attendance at tho college. 1
Why, then, appropriate more of tho peoplo s
money to the college'.' If lor tiie needy, the
answer is, that the provision for them was al- 1
ready made, and they were not benefitted by a !
cent .rotn this po,;cy.
It was sought to make it upperp that it was 1
the college of the poor. This is not now, and
never hm been,'rue. Ilie facts wcro then, and '
tire now, that the ina.io ity of tlie poor students
of the tstato found educat on at other institutions,
one college alone alfurdiug free It :tion
to more than double the number receiving the
same at South Carolina College.-j- It is tot now,
and was not then, tine ilia', it was tho poor
man's college.
Sir, we do not oppose the coi'ege. Wc object
to its policy r id the policy of the Legislature,
without our consent, taking thousands of the
people- money and putting it where it :s not
needed. We object to it bee ui- if the law was
earned out as thu people ;,t e'lYCti'.ionJ provided,
the cc'lego won! I have the funds needed.
We do not object to, hut stinigly favor, tho
college. if t in in accordance v.it'i oc law. Wo
have a law pio\id'tig for i!?v t ee ?. lueation of
the needy at the eo' e.e.< l i e la-1 appropriation
was not ! j t <eui. ine,-' iiad mo o provi-'on
then tin t was needc-i or was utilized.
There are oilier object'ons to liis i m-tee-Lcgislativc
college policy that ought to cau-e en
uprising-oi" the people. 1 cannot now, for want
of time and -pace, discus.- them hut if there

Sunday School Celebration.
Mr. I'kitok: It was our pleasure to attend
:ie .Sunday School celebration at Salem I'resytcriati
church, on the 1-th instant. To say
was a success, would scarcely do tho subject
tstice. The church was elaborately and tasteally
decorated with wreaths of eve-greens inl
owers. Over the speakers stand. "Welcome"
nd "In Ood wo trust," stood out in bold letters,
'pou tho Sag, "Sulcu Sahbath Soli >ol,'* was
cautifully inscribed. The singiug was cxcelitit.
Tlie choir was lod by Mr. D.w's.
Mr. <?. Wal.ou Whitman, of Jones*'He. made
n address to the School. His remarks were
ighly app eciatcd by the audience. lie
howed himself ?>er.*eet'y at homo in he Sibath
School work.
When dinne was announced the School and
'.sitors formed *n l:no a id marched to the tahle
inging. "Let us pass over the river, and rest
indor tli j shade of the trees.'' 'I ie very
it tern nee of these voids brings us to the bod
idc of the illustrious "Stonewall" Jackson,
vhen he stood by "the liver of death, with
larth s battlefields and glories behind hiiu, he
itterod this sentence, which to day s.ands :u tho
ninds and hearts of tho \inericn people, a
nonuuicnt to his great less.
The table gave evidence of that culinary
iki" aud hospitality for which the ladies of
his sectiou are prova -bial. Everything that
a*ould please an cp<cutc was on it.
The evening was spent in chatting. 8iu0't g,
promenading and perhaps lovcmr'r'ng. Old
Mid voting enjoyc l it alike. On account op
Ligh waters in a'l the streams, (and no convc- |
uient or safe wi y <>f ctos3i- g them) the crowd
was not so la go as it wor d otherw'sc li tve

Tor the Times.
Who is Responsible 1
Mtt. llnnoK :?With deep sorrow I read, in
tho Times of July 11.1, an account of the sad
taking oil' of Adam Little, and in that connection
the abovo question forced itself upon mo.
While pastor at Union L was acquainted with
Mr. Little. When not under the iutlucnce of
liquor he seemed to be a quiet, thoughtful, well
disposed iaau ; and at times manifested deep
conviction of sin, and an honest desire for
salvation and a Christian experience.
When the question of 1'rohibition was lirst
discussed he placed himself squarely ou the
right stdo. lie said to me, " 1 cannot go where
liquor is w ithout drinking; so nearly as often as
I couio to town, I am drunk, crazy, and get
locked up. 1 have paid this town too much
money for drunken, disorderly tines ? 1 would
be glad to get liquor out of my sight."
No doubt lie spoke honestly. Aud there arc
not a few men like him, with nn uncontrollable
appetite for intoxicants whenever they come
near to them, and sincerely desiring to he free
from the debasing sin of drunkenness. Is it
Christian, is it even manly, for us to place temptation
even in the way of this unfortunate class
of our fe'low iuon ? It is written?"No drunkard
shall inherit the Kingdom of hod." Aud
again it is written?" Woe utuo him that giveth
bia neiuihlmr il-ink tbat. inutoth the bottle to
mm and maketh him drunken. As tne matter
looks to ino, had 1 sold Adam Little the liquor
that made him drunk, 1 would feel largely responsible
for his shocking death.

space for a hasty rc p'y to the ; i ' i your

is the ams'U an>< unt argument which 1 would
no ice. The ground n?suin ed :n those r.nic'cs
is il at the amount require 1 to support the .Vce
mi t:ou feature at the college is so small, when
distributed, that it is not buidcusoue. Tli-s
argument p'ovcs tyo much, as wc sha'i s< o, and
is therefore worthless. The amount necessary
to suppon the present uinec s-i'v oiliccs and
high sr'aries is small, when J'<n Abated, aid if
wo shou'd support the S. ('. Cov?gc because
the amount is small, when divided, tl c.i odices
and salaries shou'd str id as hey a-o, for 1'ie
lame reason. lint even thoto who use the
B ual' a mount argument on the College question
admit that offices: should not bo mulfp'.icd and
salaries should be reduced. It see ra to ma'tc
a greater or lose difference with these astute log'ciaus
in the size of the a uornt, ac.ord"ig an
it is applied to what they favor or what they
disapprove. The people have not fi led to seo
this.
The amount necessary to run a", the departI
meats of the State government, when considered
separately, fctnV*, but the aggreg.io
is burdensome, as we all admit, and the S. C.
Collego appropriation mud cutors into that
agg-egatc. Tho sma'l amount argument is a
snare and a delusion, nnd the pcoplo wi'l not
bo deceived by these who use it.
