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

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:

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.
