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. B.
