?i<dk |nU Mil E. H. AULL^ EDITOR. Entered at the Postoffice at New berry, S. C., as 2nd class matter. Tuesday, February 11, 1908. EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE lOtolumbia, Feb. 10.?The appro priatiou bill as it loft the hands ol the ways a nd means commit too car ries a total appropriation of $1,50U, 601.27, tbe largest 1 believe in th\ history of the state. To meet it wil require a levy of at least 5 1-2 mills .and unless a deficit is to he lett ai the end of the year probably (i mills ami provision will have lo he mailt to borrow nearly or quite one millioi dollars. The disposition of the committee has been to give ?_ v?*rythinfj asked. Some of us have reserved out rights to oppose some provisions ot the hill on the lloor of tilie house hut that will not avail much. I called the attention of the house to the increase I lull wa- being made when I urs-ed that the building of a new dormitorv at Winllirop might be held over for anotJier year without hurt to the institution and no cure scorned to arctic with ine a id the bill was passed. La>t year Winllirop was given $20,000 to build a practice scihool and the lirst .$10,(100 for this j>ur|H?se was appropriated and ?s soon as the fund was available tho money was drawn out of the state treasury and placed in a bank at Hock Hill and soon the other $10,000 will bo appropriated and it will be drawn out and placed i:i bank at Rock Hill and President Johnson told in.' the oilier day that the board had not yet decided uliel'e the building would be erected. Now it appears to nil' that il was not goo.l judgment for the stale in tiio present condition of linanees to undertake the erection of two buildings at Winllirop in one year and I so stated. I only asked that the new dormitory lie postponed for a year until the practice school was completed. Bui the house did not agree with me ami as a result, if the senate agree to Mie bill, Winllirop will have for new huihlinys .$(>8,000. Two years ago the legislature bought the police barracks in Ohaiiestou for $22,000. Of this $7,501) was paid last year and $7,500 more will he paid this year. The board of visitors of the Citadel academy for which this property was purchased say it will lake $30,000 to make it available for use by the Academy and now tlhat the state owns the property it will be unwise and bad judgment not to put it in repair for use. The hoard of trustees of the University of South Carolina say that the old buildings on the campus have been there for nearly a century an.l it is a shame for the great State of H?>uUi Carolina to let this time honored Institution go any longer without it :><JW building and they want 00,000 i'or thai purpoHo, though they v ill lit* miIIhCUkI with $30,000 this year. f Tom Miller <?f the colored college .yiit Orangeburg says his school ill t'ui j eleven voars since it was founded has | ^received from the State only about .$S0,00() altogether, for building, <e(juipin.Mil and maintenance and ho "" wants $11.tutu ihis year so as to make some needed improvements. The people al Florence and the 3'ee Hee section >ny thai all the Slate colleges are in other sections of the (Slate and liiey want $15,000 for the audits! rial school, sometimes called the reformatory. And so il goes. Nobody has said -Jtnytilling about the 1 11.000 white tehil.lren in the common schools throughout the State. Mr. McArthur, a member from Cherokee who died last summer, has left a bill proposing to give io the common schools $250, 000 so as (o bring up the amount giv'0n to l'his worthy cause to $3.50 per 'chil.l. Of coir-e some one will move to continue tlu^ proposilinoti on the ground that it is a piece of extravagance ami il will :iol even be consid ered. Maybe lliis is what the people 'Wiinl ;i 1111 I lull lliey desire to spend all tlii- money they can raise on tli Slate insl il nl ions of higher learning As the appropriation bill slan.ls now the following figures show what i< proposed for higher education i: Ibis state for this year: South Carolina University.

This seems to me to be a big sunv for South Carolina to spend for higher education in one year in view of the amount she spends for common school education. Tt appears differently to other people and a majority of these other people compose the present legislature. I have no quar- i re I with them, but have given Ihe thru res in detail here that the people | might see Iho reason which prompted j me (>< tab 1 the position which T look. , II wa< nul in opposili" n lo education | but 1 did no! feel that we were ( bound lo do so much in one year. Tins |'iresent legislature at the last | session im-reased the appropriation ; bill moi\ than $200,000 and it seems that at ibis session we will add $200,000 more. There are more calls for money as the State grows and develops but it does seem I hat as assessed values in- I crease the levy and the appropriation bill increase in greater proportion. Tn 1897 the total assessed property was about $170,000,000 and the levy was 5 mills and the total expenditures were about $880,000 leaving a surplus of $101,000. Tn 1907, just ten years laler taxable values bad increased to $"270,000,000 and a levy of 4 1-2 mills left a defecit of $68,000. The expenditures last year were $1,400,295. The followings table ha been prepared for this year somewhat as a guide: Appropriation bill as ) resented bv committee $1,506,691 27 Legislat ive Siupply bill estimated 00,000 00 Deficit for 1907 6S.103 12 $1,034,794 39 Proposed Appropriation likely to pass . . . , 24,000 00 New Dormitory Winthrop 0,200 00 New Circuit and in- 1 create salaries auditors -and t'reasurers. 10,000 00 $1,071,991 39 | Income. .") 1-2 M'ills on $207.480,030 1,-170.900 10 Other Sources , >... 1?3.<00 00 $1,044,009 16 It will be seen that on this estimate a )> 1-2 mills tax would leave a I deficit of $.30,385.23. Nothing has yet' been done with the lien law by the seriate though it is understood that tlie senate will agree with the house and repeal the law. I The senate has adopted the labor | I contract law prepared and introduced! I in that end and rejected the house bill. The t<wo are very much alike land tflie I wo houses will agree on Iho ' measure. Tin bouse bill has been j nrinl.'d in The Herald :ind News. 'I !te vale bill has ,il<o been under ' j discussion in Ihe senate but nothing definite ha* been done: The legisla' lure should let railroad legislation * alone at this session. 1 Prohibition will not be put into law bv tdiis legislature though a proposition is before Iho senate to subI mit the question, to the democratic ft voters in the primary. '"MV. Johnstone has introduced a A bill to submit to the people of the ft city of Newberry the question of on9 Havering Ihe school facilities by build' imr a new school bouse. Tt provides 0 I for lihe issue of more bonds for that 9 . purpose. 9 | Mr. A nil has a bill for submitting ? ( Ihe question of rotid improvemon! to U the voters of No. 6 township. This bill is published in The Hern hi and News but before it becomes operative will have to be endorsed by the people of the township. Mjr. Wyehe made a good speech in be/half of the establishment of a state health officer at a salary of $3,000 a year and the bill passed. The delegation has not yet agreed upon the county supply bill but will probably do so tomorrow. Mr. Anil's rural police bill has been under discussion and will probably be disposed of tomorrow. Mr. Johnstone went, with lv.e le?r><lature to Charleston, while the ol?h*r members of the Newberry delegation want home to spend Sunday. K. H. A, Chajige of Schedules, Effective 12.01 a. m.
