L No doubt many of our readers supposo, froui lie tenor of our article last weok, on a " free e) uition compromise," that we had got " on the l' ence" upon that subject. g' Not at all, friends. Wo recoguizo a great w leccssity for "higher education " among the '1 nasscs of the people of this State, and knowing 1 hat a very largo majority of the mosses are e >oor, wo arc decidedly in favor of placing that lecessary higher education within the reach of (very bt>y in the State, so that the worthy aud unbitious sons of the poor may stand upon the Cl iauio vantage ground as the sous of tho rich, b n the great battle of life. It is a peculiar w act that this great huo and cry against freo uition in the Stato College, did not originate T rrilh tho largest and most prosperous taxpayers ? >f the State: nor do we lind many of them b oining in the cry no.v, outside of those who 0 ire graduates, or aro directly iutcrestcd, by C jeing bondholders or otherwise, in the denomi- P national Colleges. All the denominational colleges have a free uition feature in them ; but they confine that I high privilege solely to the sons of ministers d >f their respective denominations; they offer g it to no other class : and they nsk the people to g ibolish free tuition for (heir sons in tho South f Carolina College in order that the denomina- i lional colleges may l>c better able to maintain 1 free tuition for their minister's sons, who may t ar may not, after graduating, embrace tho holy t calliDg of their father*?very fow of them do. \ Now, we are decidedly in favor of paying tho ministers of the Gospel well, aud of giving them ( every advantage possible, including free tuition , for their children, but wc see neither justice nor ( Bound public policy in selecting their sons its ( the only boys in the State entitled to free tuition in the higher branches of education. I It may be said that this is taking an extreme < view of the question ; but we do not think it is. | Tho denominational colleges oiler freo tuition to a limited class, and the State college opens its j doors to nil classes of people, tho rich and tho ( poor alike, standing upon the same plane of privileges and advantages ; but close its doors to free tuition pupils and you close its doors to more than one-half the young men of tho State, and conliuc the benefits of free tuition to ministers' sons only,in the denominational colleges, for which tho pay-pupils will, of course, have to pay. It will bo virtually taking frco tuition i from the masses and bestowing it upon a class i fow. That would be the inevitable result of destroying the free tuition feature of the S. C. College ; and the argument that free tuition in the State College is unjust, because it compels one- tax-payer to pay the tuition of another, comes with bad grace from the defenders of denominational colleges that depend upon the money of pay-pupils?perhaps poor boys?to defray the tuitiou expenses of a favored few. Has it ever occurred to the voters of this State what it would cost to obtain a full Collegiate course, if free tuit'on was abolished? Well, the regular time required is -I years, and the price, $00 a year, making $'.>10 for tho course; and if there arc two boys in a family, it would amount to $480. Now, we ask any c'audid man if he thinks there is one in every 6fty of the families in Union County that can afford that amount to aivu tiio oon o*. o<-.tc1 daughters also to cd ucatc Again, there are thousands of pa en s in tins State who pay taxes upon from $500 to $5,000 worth of property, but so encumbered are they with debt that they could not possibly pay $00 a year for tuition and upon their death they would leave their families poor indoed; but with good educations, which no Sliylock could take from them, the sons would have a better foundation for independent, honorable and prosperous lives than land and money alono could give them, llaiu could not wash it away, frost could not k:ll it, fire could not burn it up (we except whiskey) and it is a solvent bank upon which any young man can draw without discount. It cnunot be denied that the two great factors in the present unrest and depressed condition of the people avc ignorance nud poverty. The fust and most effectual s.cp toward removing these evils is to oducatc the masses of the people; but how is that to be done? Certainly not by putting education beyond the'r abi'ity to reach it, by reason of their poverty ! Then, how can they reach it? The denominational colleges don t offer to help them. Put the State proposes to do it, by opening the doors of her College and in\it:ng every boy in the H.ate?rich and poor upon the same standing?to come in and enjoy the blessing of higher education, fret of cost. i.iil ilic ye; I of ignorance from the eyes of the poorer classes of ilie people, and you :nBpirc thcin with that self-contidenco n ,d sc!'"respcct, which will enable them to see, think and act f??r themselves, to repel bigotry and ( d:scc?.i t'ie sophistry of pobtical demagogues I who i?"e continually crying in the ea s of "the Icar people,' wolf! wo'f! when there is no ivolf near. What the rising generation wants, at much as 1 my.If lg else, is education, and the' poverty 1 lemands that they get it as cheap as possible. If they do not get it cheap they will not la i tble to get it a'l, but wi'l remain the dupes < md tools of that favored few whose education ' w 'l i1 ways command the higher positions, so- , ia"y, politically and every other sphere :u ife.

But the misrepresentation of that ^ pieslion by the self-constituted friends of the ^ ' college policy " and the effort to put the op- )' posers of that policy before tho voters as J memies to tho college demands the ventilation ^ of the real issues. ! have not time, nor you Lhe space, to answer "Free Tuition" and othors a in this article, but I hold myself ready to ^ liscuss the issue when, under their proper sig- ^ natures, they shall boo tit to advocate the "ool- '' lege policy." 1 propose, now, to call attention to some points that the people should know. a The Sooth Carolina College, as a College, has '' no enemies in the county. But the " college ' policy," or, inoTe properly, the policy of the ^ Trustees and Legislature, with regard to the college, is so objectionable, undemocratic, un- Y just and illegal, that the peoplo only need to 9 understand it to overthrow it?the policy, and 1 tint the College. It is sought to win support for 1 "the policy" by representing it as the poor s man's hope and the poor van's college; but at ' the time that this universal free tuition policy * was inaugurated by tho trustees and made pos- 1 sible and effective by appropriations by the 1 Legislature, two facts confronted them: 1 The first was this, that the orgnnio la\ had provided free tuition for inoro poor students 1 than were 'ten in attendance at the college. ' Why, then, appropriate more of the peoplo s money to tho college ? If for the needy, the answer is, that tho provision for them was al- 1 ready made, and they wero not benefitted by a 1 cent .rotu this po'>cy. It was sought to make it apperv that it was 1 the college of the poor. This is not now, and never has been, 'ruo. The facts were then, and ' arc now, that the majo ity of the poor students of the State found education at other institu- 1 tions, ono college alono alfordiug free ti :tion ' to more than double the number receiving the same at South Carolina College.f It is^ lot now, and was not then, tiue that it was tho poor man's college. Sir, wo do not oppose the college. Wo object to its policy r. id the policy of tho Legislature, without our consent, taking thousands of the people* money nnd putting it whero it is not needed. We object to it because, if the law was cariied out as the people :,? convention^ provided, the college would have the funds needed. Wc do not olyect to, but strongly favor, the college, if l.in In accordance with'nc law. We have a law pro\id'tig for the tree education of the needy at the col ejc.j} The lart appropriation was not fo" them. Tney had mo ? provir'ou then tin i was needed or was utilized. There arc other objections to .his Truslce-Legislativo college policy that ought to cause Rn uprising of the people. 1 cannot now, for want of time and space, discuss them . but if there is a iriend of this 1 astee-Legislative po cy who will, uudcr his own proper signuturo, discuss the real issues of the college question, let him deny the fo' owing p-oposi.lons rnd 1 | affirm : \ 1st.

Who is Responsible 1 Mr. Editor:?With deep sorrow I read, in tho Times of July 23, an account of the sad takiog off of Adam Little, ami in that connection the above question forced itself upon mo. While pastor at Union I was acquainted with Mr. Little. When not under the influoncc of liquor ho seemed to be a quiet, thoughtful, well disposed man ; and at times manifested deep conviction of sia, and an honest desire for salvation and a Christian experience. When tho question of Prohibition was first discussed he placed himself squarely on the right side. He said to me, " I cannot go where liquor is without drinking; so nearly as often as I come to town, I am drunk, crazy, and get locked up. I have paid this town too much money for drunken, disorderly fines ; I would be glad to get liquo-* out of my sight." No doubt he spoke honestly. And there are not a few men like bim, with an uncontrollable appetite for intoxicants whenever they come near to them, and sincerely desiring to be free from the debasing sin of drunkonness. Is it Christian, is it even manly, for us to place temptation even in the way of this unfortunate class of our fo'low men 7 It is writton?"No drunkard shall inherit the Kingdom of God." And again it is written?" Woe unto him that giveth his neinJihnr iNbik thkt nutteth tho bottle to nflh and maketh him drunken. As tho matter looks to me, had I sold Adam Little the liquor that made him drunk, I would feel largely rc opuuaiuic I or 1113 BUOCItlUg ucalli. A. J. IImies. [/ *>\ /P.T SEMKST] At tb'?
