In reply to the Governor tbe Seeretary'rep'ied aa follows : January Slat, I have the honor to acknowledge tbe receipt of your letter of the 24th inst. eneloeing a certi6ed copy of an Act of your Legislature accepting the provisions of the Ao? approved August 80, 1890, making appropriation for an agricultural college (oolored) and il*o Clemson Agricultural College (white.) Tbe school population, according it tho latest count on fi'e in this office (that of 1880) is 85.8 per cent white and 64.1 per cent, colored. I am of the opinion thai the reqniremcnt for an equilab'e division of this fund bi twccn institutions for tho elucation of the two races will bo met bv dividing the same in the ratio of the school populatoin in this case- Very respectfully, John W. N'oblc, Secretary." ^Answering the Secretary, Governor Till ' A reply to your letter of January 81 has ** been delayed by illness. Tbe question as to what would be a ju*t and equitable division ns between our white and colored agricultural nn i mechanical colleges of the fund appropriated by Congress last year is, so far as this State is concerned, no longer an open one. Our b^gisln'uic has acted and adjourned, and will not meet again before November, so 1 hn*c no power in tho premis-s. IMeasc let mc know whether you refuse to pny South Carolina her quota upon tbe basis propose 1 by the General Assembly, and if so, whether you insist that the school ^0 population as shown by tho census of 1880 instead of 1890 shnli govern. I will call your attention further to these facts : Over 80 per cent of the sell *ol tax io South Carolina is pai l by the whites, while the negroes receive the bcoefit of over half of it. Second, the relative demand for collegiate education, for which Congress provided, bears no relation to the relative numbers of the two races. Tbiril. vonr rn fu?al to allow this money to be divided aa the Lcghiaturc has ordered, wdl cripple the colored collego very seriously, becauso, lying on this fund, it lias already entered^? upon enlargements of its teaching feree and fnci1ilie?, \vd?icli will hnvc to bo stopped, while the Clcmson College (white) is not yet in operation, an J can easi'y await an appeal to Congress next December. 1 ask y>"Up^_^ then, to weigh your actions wc'l befor^^w " doing anything to injure our colored college. 1 am very respectfully, 11.

Young men addicted to taking n "Social Glass;" any that there is no harm in so doing. They wonder what harm can c-me to them in taking "just one glass" when tlioy know they hsvc power to control themselves and can stop At one. If J ou have control of yourself and eon stop at one, why is it you don't etop before JQH take that one? 1 think you, .would You say "1 taken drink occasional y, but I never expect to he a drunkard." Oh no? you ncvor expect to be a drunkard ; but you ave making a very pretty start to be one. It is the tir.-t glass that makes the drunkard. The first glass calls for the second and so on, until you become drunk. Wheu you took the first gla?s you had no idea of g'tting drunk. Another says, "I was naked to take a drink by a specinl friend ; one that I knew would be offended if I refused, so I to?k n drink." Young man, you should not call that person a friend, who would invite yon to ds that which would destroy your character here and your soul hereafter. Says another, "I only lake a drink on Christmas morning, and every one should he allowed that privilege." As if it. wasn't as much harm to take a drink 011 Christmas morning, as at any other time. Men sometimes go tojthe house of God, and listen to the gospel, and go right home, or to a friend's house and take a drink ; on Sunday at that. 1 am truly sorry for any young man that^||pww? will go into the presence of ladies with the smell ofl quor 011 his breath, as some of them do.
