Local News. WEDNESDAY, JULY 10, 1902. The Meeting of the School Trustees. Tin; meeting held in the Court House Monday of last week by tho Trustees of the County schools, at which reso-i lutioiis were adopted and a committee appointed to memorialize the Legisln iuie and ask for the enactment of a law which will give to the public schools throughout the State the fer tilizer tax now used in support of j Clemson College, and to apply to the j public schools in each County in the State tho prolits arising from the County dispensaries, which is now paid into the County treasuries for County purposes, calls lor some com ment, which it is Imped will throw light upon the entire subject. There can be no question as to the necessity, and the positive duty ot the Legislature to do much more than has been done tor the educational advan tages of the children of the State. In Anderson County, for example, there are 12,000ehilldron enrolled in the public schools, and only ?:tt,(f00 per year pro vided lor their education??2.90 per pupil. The schools cannot be kept open with so small an amount longer than live months ot tho year, and the results obtained in advancing the pu pils are not and cannot be expected to be satisfactory. That something should be done to better this condition of our public school system is of vital importance to every family in the State, aud this explains, in a measure, at leaHt, tho action of our County Trustees in the meeting above referred to. Hut would it be wise to disturb the tax privilege fund now used in support of Clemson College, even if it could be taken from Hint College and diverted to the public schools, which is very doubtful? Prior to th.'i establishing of Clemson College tin inspection and analyzing ?>i fertilizers was performed by t he old S tte Hoard of Agriculture, together v .a other duties, and it took the \? .lole of the tax on fertilizers to pay the salaries of tho Hoard. In 1S1I? Clemson College ottered to assume the duties of this Hoard if the fertilizer tax should bogiven to the College, and that they would undertake to save enough surplus from this fund to sup port tho College without calling on the State for any other aid. This was madeu plank in the reform movement, weut before the people and received their endorsement and the tux was turned over to the College. This fund has had much to do with the establishment of every branch of the College work?agriculture, me chanical, including electrical, textile, chemical for performing State work, indeed all. All of the duties of the Hoard of Agriculture have been per formed by the faculty of the College inspecting fertilizers, inspecting cattle and visiting all parts of the State where there are epidemics among cat tle and eradicating the disease; in specting fruit trees shipped into the State and visiting diseased orchards, exterminating the insects which pro duce the disease; analyzing ores, min erals, water and soils; holding insti tutes all over the State for the benefit of the farmers, and many other duties which have been imposed upon them by legislation from time to time up to the present. No additional sum has ever been appropriated for this or any other work of the College. The fer tilizer tax fund is all the support Clem son College gets from the State, in consideration of which the College performs the work as partly enume rated above. To tuke this fund from the College would necessitate the creation of nu other Hoard of Agriculture, or similar body, to perform this work, and to provide for salaries and expenses. Clemson could not perform this work free of charge, and the common schools could not perform it at all. It may be thought a good idea, in order to meet the conditions which so far have defeated direct appropriations to the public schools, to apply the fer tilizer tax to the public schools, and make a direct appropriation to Clemson; but there appears to be a very consid erable barier in the way of this plau a follows: Several years ago manufacturers of fertilizers in North Carolina brought suit, in the Federal Courts against this State to test the.right of the State to levy a tax on fertilizers, basing their action on provisions of the Inter-State Commerce laws. Tho Supreme Court of the United States, to which the case went finally, decided that such a tax for the purpose of raising revenue ouly eould not be levied, but that the State -SOUld levy this tax to meet the expense of piotecting the farmer from fraud in tho purchase of fertilizers; that a defi nite amount for such an expense need not be stated, and that any surplus re maining could be expended by the State; bat that no part of this tax could go into the State Treasury and be treated or used as State funds. Froin this it is clear that the fertili zer tax must be used for services per formed, and those services must be the inspection and analysis of fertilizers for the protection of farmers against fraud. The common schools cannot perform this work, and, under this de cision, cannot receive any part of this tax. It muBt either remain with Clem son or go to some other body to be created by legislation to performlthis work. As to tho profits from the County dispensary, which are turned over to the county treasurers for County pur poses, and which in Anderson County amoiM'ts to about $5,000 per annum, it is clei -ly within the province of the Legislature to apply this fandlto any pnlpose they see fit, the matter of ex pediency being the only matter for consideration in applying it exclusively to school purposes. Iloatll of a (?00(1 Woman. Mrs. Sallie Gentry Brown died at her homo in this city hint Monday morning at2.30 o'clock, und the announcement of her death was a great shock to her numerous friends and acquaintances throughout this section. About eight years ago she suffered a slight stroke of paralysis, from which she had never fully recovered, though she was uble to walk about her premises and persist ently looking after her household affairs as she always had done. On Sunday night she was in her usual cheerful, amiable mood, ate a hearty supper und retired to her bed appar ently in her usual health. About mid night she aroused her daughter, Mrs. Moss, and complained of feeling very badly. Mrs. Moss at once realized that Ja r mother was seriously ill, and sum moned Dr. Xardin, sr., to her home. The Doctor came und after awhile pronounced her afliiction acute iticli gestion. He went to his oilice to get some medicine, and few minutes after his departure she quietly breathed her last. Mrs. I!town's maiden name was Mo Daniel, and she was born and reared in this County. In her girlhood her pa rents moved to this town, and she lias resided here ever since. Had sin; lived nu I il I he 111 h (?1 next October she would havccelebratedheri;2nd birthday. Mrs. Itrowu was twice married, her first hus band being the late Sauford Gentry, who died in 1S(?3. By this union four children were born, only one <?t whom, Mrs. Annie Moss, survives her. Her .-croud husband was James Brown, who preceded her to the gravi* a few yearn ago. At the close of th*; Civil War Mrs. I>i own opened a restaurant in this city, and later added a bakery and a small stock of confectioneries. Sin* was well known throughout the County and was liberally patronized. Her ginger cakes and beer could not be excelled, and many of them did she sell. Many a poor boy in Anderson in that day and tinu , (the writer among the number,) will ever remember her many acts ot kindness and the many tempting cakes and glasses of sweet beer she gave free of cost to them. Her business prospered, and she finally turned it over to her son-in-law, the lote 15. F. Moss, who died a few years ago. Mrs. Brown was a quiet, godly wo man, one of the excellent of the earth. Her walk 'was under that sweet spirit whose influence is always for good. Sin* would never speak evil of any one, and I hose who knew her best loved her most. If there was a poor sufferer that needed help she was ready to the extent of her ability to give it. and if there were sorrowing or bereaved ones who needed sympathy, she gave them a mother's cheer. She has gone to seek a well-earned rest in her eterm'.l home, but her memory will long be cherished by a wide circle of friends, who deeply sympathize with the grief stricken daughter in her sore bereave ment. Mrs. Brown was reared in the Metho dist Church. Her second husband was a member of the Catholic Church, and after her marriage to him she joined that Church. Yesterday morning nt 10 o'clock the funeral services^ were conducted in the St. Joseph's Church by Kov. Father Hughes, in The presence of a '.arge con gregation of friends, after which the remains were interred in Silver Brook Cemetery. Erans l.atimer Controversy Benches a Critical Point. St. George's, July 12.?The Senato rial and Congressional meeting was held here in the Court House to-dny in the presence of about ?100 people. A number of Indies occupied seats in the "jury box" and were interested specta tors uf nil that transpired. The meeting was divided into two sessions, one in the forenoon, the other in the afternoon. The morning session was not without incident. Messrs. Evans and Lntimer were "at it" again, and at one time it looked liko there would be a tight within the bar of the Court room, but the sheriff of Colleton, (au adjoining county,) put a stop to the matter. 11 came about in this way: Mr. Evans was the first speaker and in his speech prodded Mr. Lntimer in the same way unit on the same matters which had been brought out nt previous meetings. Mr. Lntimer made about the same re futations and said that they, meaning the Reformers, had carried Mr. Evans as long as they could and had dropped him, and made some allusion to Evans being his "friend," to which Evans re plied: "You never were my triend.. You betri yed me like a dog.1' Then Mr. Lntimer brought up the $15,000 bond deal and said Evan a had been charged with it the last campaign, and F.vans corrected him by saying that !( had only been rumored, and some reference was made to anony mous circulars in connection with Mr. Duncan's name, but their meaning was nor clear. Mr. Evans added that he had denied the accusations at the time, denouncing it as a lie. He now de nounced it as such and tho man who repeats it is a liar. At this point Mr, Lntimer appeared to have reached ilie point where en durance ceased U be a virtue, hence the enactment of the little tragedy. The meeting proceeded without inci dent until after recess, when the party went to the hotel to got dinner. Mr. Latimer proceeded to Mr. Evans's room and said: "Mr. Evans, I wish to have a word with you," to which Mr. Evans replied: "No, sir, you cannot talk to me," and walked down-atairs and went out and dined with a friend. There'was no excitement, but those who know both of the men think that matters will soon reach a crisis. Both evidently hud friends in the audience, und the other four candidates were perhaps the most interested spectators. In Memorinm. Died, nt his home in Seneca, S. C, July 4, 1002, Mr. Thomas Harper, one of the oldest and beat citizens of Oconee County, in the 85th year of his age. Brother Harper was born and reared in Anderson Connty and lived there nutil after* his first marriage. His first wife was n daughter of Rev. .bums Wilson, of blessed memory. By this union several children were born, and the following are still living: John W. and James G. Harper, Mrs. Dr. John Hopkins and Mrs. Jack Hop kius. of Seuecn, and J/rs. Chas. T. Philips, of Tokeena. His last wife was Mrs. Klttie Alexander, of Oconee County. She survives him. Brother Harper was baptized iuto tho fellowship of bix-nnd-Twenty Church in Anderson County more than GO years ago, and waa clerk of the Church for sometime. Three years ago he was Earalyzed and has not been well since, aving had several strokes since that time, each one leaving him weaker and less able to bear the next. It was my privilege as his pastor to visit him of ten during his sickness and not one time did I hear him coaiplain at the will of God. He loved his Church and no man ever loved his family more than he. His funeral was preached by the writer assisted by Rev. J. R. Moore, after which his body was laid to rest in the Cemetery nearby.
