Why I lien Ii should our local cotemporary persist in jumping on liiin? Not eontent y with editorial broadsides, he takes i- up a portion ol his time on the stump I to pay his respects to us. Why? II A week or so age we remarked, i- <|iiile inuoeeul Iy. that a legislative h candidate before the people for ree election and crying out against high e appropriations ought to be able to <' show that he made some spc- I ?*ia 1 and earnest efforts on the floor of the legislature to keep down the i- appropriations, and if he did not sue<, eeed in these efforts he ought to be r able to give his constituents some reasonable assurance that he would t have more influence if sen I back, i- 'Speaking in a general way of the - stale and tiresome talk of "extravagance" and "high appropriations,'' and considering how real live issues, t like good roads and the liquor queslion, are ignored, we believe the po, sition stated by us is the correct one. It is the same way all over the State, so far as the speeches are reported, and it was never intended that our:, remarks should he applied to Newberry county alone. v This is a sufficient answer to our coteiuporary's last inquiry as to what I particular candidates the Observer's ! I utterances are directed against. To which may be added, that The Herald ami News has not stated who its favorites are for the legislature. Why < should we ? s We would stop here hut for an er- ' ^ ror or two in Mr. Anil's speech at lalapa, as reported in his paper, ' j which we wish to correct. Mr. A nil ! is reported as saving, referring to j ! ( the ()l>server : i "Two years ago this newspaper . talked about big apprnpriations to 1 State institutions, and if I had his . files I couh. show you where he has i : taken the pisiliou that the privilege ia>: ought to he put into the State 1 p 11r'M-urv. and ve could not only sup- ' s port Cleinson bit all the Stale insti: t ill ions with it.'' 1 Mr. Anil is certainly mistaken. We ( - have looked caret ullv over our fileof two years ago. from the beginning' e of I he campaign iiutil the end, and I do not find a line on the subject of [> "big appropriations to Slate inslitu- ' I lions." not a line about the "privi- 1 e lege tax." We have urged, on v.ir. ions occasions while the legislature . was in session, that the privilege t <v I ought to be turned Into the State I treasury and thai the apiu'onriations | to ('lemson college should be made | directly ? this because the privilege , | tax i? a variable quantity, and :?
