Saying he wanted to tell something of the enormity of the situation, the Oconee senator read the following figures: University of Sou'fc Carolina 513 -students, 166 pay tuition, 226 have free tuition, 48 have scholarships valued at 5100 and free tuition, which makes 154,800. Clemson college: 785 students, 110 of whom pay tuition, 484 Have iree tuition, 191 have scholarships valued at $100 and free tuition, which makes 319,000. iWinthrop college: 899 students, 115 : pay tuition, 650 have free tuition, 125 ' ""Iliad at and Have scnoiarsuups tamcu t ? I free tuition, which makes $12,500. The Citadel: 241 students, 167 pay tuition, 6S have schalorship valued at HP $300 each and free tuition which makes | 320,400. rm-- cAnator said the scholar IX VWUVV ships were worth $56,800, and the free tuition amounts to $75,200, which makes a total of $132,000 which is be- , ing given away each year, said the | Ooconee senator, "to a favored few." He -demanded men who were able to pay their boys' tuition and don't do it. "The poor boys don't get the benefit rtvic monev and I am sick and tired I of it," exclaimed the Oconee senator. 'iTihere is a great deal of fraud and downright graft under the present law," he charged. The Oconee senator said the passage of his bill would help the state i colleges. He admitted there may be a few who are holding the free schol Iarships worthy of them, but said "the> are in a hopeless minority." "I believe the denominational colleges "have been subjected to unfair completion," said Senator Carlisle, who said state colleges sent out agents who asked young men why they go to a denominational college, when they could (go to a state institution and not have to pay tuition. He thought education r.hich was , paid for was better appreciated than . that which was given free. Senator Carlisle proposed an amend- ? Bient to the present law requiring ail students in state colleges to pay tuition, but to take from those who art : a hi a to oav a note signed by the ^dent's parents or guardians and let H the student pay the note after he or she graduates within a period of two years. He would exempt the Citadel from his bill, because of the special pilitary and other training it gives, ^^ "And because of its service in the past, fly "We will have to again call on tiie I Citadel to save us as we aia in uxt past," said the Spartanburg senator.

Employers' Liability. Practically the full morning session of the senate on Tuesday was consumed in consideration of two bills, * - - j :xrni oi wnicn reeeiveu a uuru it?auing. One was the employers' liability gill, introduced by Senator Padgett of Colleton, and the other the high school 'aw amendment offered by Senator YiVfcpls nf Ahbeville. which would ex tend state aid to high schools in towns above 2,500 inhabitants and increase the high school aid appropriation from $60,000 to $S0,000 annually. ?T;he Padgett bill is the application of the federal employers' liability act to the railroads of South Carolina, with ' A * ** - ^ ~ ??/v A J A tile puiliuv-e ClSiUlcljj'es itrctLUie auucu. Extension of High School Act. Tne purport of the Nickels bill is to remove certain restrictions which prevent the extension of state aid to high schools in cities and towns with more than 2,500 inhabitants. A necessary sequence would be the enlargement of the state nigh school aid fund from ?60,000 to $80,000. The author said that refusal to extend aid to schools in towns above 2,500 had the effect of penalizing a community for progress and development Temperatnre In Mia. The house has passed to third reading a bill providing that the temperature in cotton mills be regulated subject to the supervision and regulations 'aid down by the commissioner of agriculture. The original bill -vested this authority in the state board of health. but the amendment, offered by one of its three authors, Mr. Dixon, was accepted. Senator Johnstone of Newberry has introduced a bill requiring that a marriage license shall be issued from a county of one of the contracting par ties. The ways and means committee hopes to have the appropriation bill ready Cor introduction the latter part of next week or the first part of the following week.

Some time ago Tidwell's attorney received a letter from him postmarked Dothan, Ala., in which Tidwell stated that he would surrender himself about January 1 to the state penitentiary. Efforts to locate Tidwell, whose appeal was lost by default, have been unavailing. He was due to begin serving his sentence before now.

He was released after his second conviction on a bond of $5,000, signed by two Clinton men, pending a second trial. A telegram from one of the signers late this afternoon stated that he did not know Tidwell's addres?. The crime for which Tidwe'l was sentenced was the slaying of R. E. Walker, a prominent young man of Green ville, in March. 1914. The case was one of the most sensational ever tried here. <$> <? < > ' '?> : > <$> | > M-WHKRKY riTV SCHOOLS ?

The question is one peculiarly one for the national committee and the convention and of course I do not wish to fores'nadow any action they might take. It strikes me as being the mere logic of the question. "If the primary in state situated as yours (i. e. not having state primary laws) does no thold a primary for the selection of delegates, my judgment is that delegates selected in the cus ternary way should be seated in the national convention. "The main question raised in all :ases nas been the great expense involved in setting up statutory machinery. In no instance has the question of party contest arisen, but merely of economy and expediency. "Sincerely yours, "William t\ ,\i<jomos. "The letter will explain itself," said Governor Evans. "There will be no primary in South Carolina for the election of delegates to the national Democratic convention, but this State will proceed in the old way of electing thpm in state convention held in May in Columbia." ' 3 Governor Evans, as chairman of the state executive committee, had written Mr. McCombs, asking for his <views on the subject and calling attention to the great expense that would be involved should the delegates have to be elected in primaries.

I FAMOUS AUTHOR A>*D MUSCICAL C03IF0SER Writes the Story of Great World Film Feature ^Hearts of iflen." Charles K. Harris, the famous author of the world-renowned song, "After the Ball," is one of the most successful motion picture scenario writ ers. He made a great success with the story of the World Film feature, "When It Strikes Home," and now he comes forward with "Hearts of Men," one of those very human stories which people who go to motion picture theaters like to see presented to them. It is a very good title. "The Hearts of Men" are the hearts of two friends who quarrel in Germany and brought fhoir- nnarrpk wifn them across the At lantic. Here they marry and have children, but their little children become very friendly, and it was because of the friendliness of the children that the two enemies, who were formerly friends, were once more reconciled. There is some beautiful photography in this picture, which includes a great number of scenes of school life, with many lovely settings. Arthur Donaldson and Beulah Paynter play the leads, and some very clever child actors are in the picture. "Hearts of Men" is one of those offerings which would please any audience anywhere, because of its simple and unaffected theme, and the drama is easy to 101 low. Mr. Charles K. Harris has scored another great success. "Hearts of Men" will be shown at the opera house Tuesday, January 25. - ATi
