Zvtw Palmino in~ LOUIS APPELT, EDITOR. WEDNESDAY, NOV. 20th, 1895. There is a class of men in this State who may be called wouid-be politleal propbts They have bcen predicting the dow.fall of John L. McLaurin ever since te had the serve to differ witb the gr'eat leaders and tame out.manfully to let 'the penple know just what be thought tf things in the polit alrld die di". not go about in an un derhani-L-.y'.q,.b1t while the leaders were 1r the 7,:nith of their glory he pointed out twhat he conceived to be wrongs and dan gerous pit-falls. For doing so, some of the big leaders have lost their fondness for him and their little henehmen have ever since been endeavoring to break the confi dence of the people in him. Horry county is one of the places in which the little heel ers have been trying to do their woik, and the amount of their success can be imag ined when they read in the newspapers the warm and enthusiastic greeting .3cLaurin recei-ved at Conway last Wednesday at the hands of about 3,500. people. He was in vited there to delivg un address to the sur Tivors of the war, and he was met by the *,Brooks Guards" veterans, about 100 strong, and a cavalry company, the Horry Hussars" in full uniform, also about 100 strong, altogether about 700 persons were in the procession to do honor to the man whom petty politicians would call a politi eal corpse. Hundreds of ladies and chil dren were present and the day was made one that will remain in the minds of those people as long as they live. His speech is published elsewhere, and we are satisfied that all who may read it will arrive at but one conclusion, and that is-it is grand. The Convention raised the constitutional school tax from two to three mills, which, with the one dollar poll tax, will give Clar endon a sufficient sum of money to run seventy schools for a term of six months. In our judgment there is no necessity for seventy schools in the county, %and if we can manage to meet therequirements cita less than seven ty, the fewer tl, schools the longer the free term '11 be. It will be clearly snee tkai e members of the Con. yention desiied to give the*children of the poor man a better chance than they have 4eretof& bad.without increasing the,taxes of the po r man. As it is, the property owner is the one who bears 'the.burden, No poor ,man'can complain at this. It A complai nts at*al!, they will come fTiam that clasi of citizens who believeit ia unjust to tax their property for:the cdz.attion of an other's children. T'lhres some men op paed to tanitien for eduntion; they want every wan % h:v own, and if with ot the ueab, to do u:at eduaion. Fortunately, such citizens are few; the ma jorityar ilg to be taxed, but when taxed thoy want good schools and to be within the reach of those for whom free sehools are intended. The Legislature will not meet until the second Tuesday in January. The Conven tion would save the people lots of money by postponing this sessien entirely. SThte Constitutional Convention performed the grand salary-grab act last night, and - otecd themselves four dollars per day. Captain D. J. Bradham voted against in fiiing~ this wrong upon his people, but ron. J. W. Kennedy. although a member -of the Legislature which fixed the salary at ~two dollars. is found among the salary bbers. Hon. J. S. Cantey's name does no ppear among those voting. We re gret t Mr. Kennedy has placed himself n s inconsistent light. Senator Tillman m ----opposition to the qplary-grab. --The recent election in Florence for the unexpired senatorial term resulted in the election of J. E. Pettigrew over D. H. Traxley, both Reformers. The former, we are informed'belongs to what is known as a "McLaurinite," the other as "anti-Mc aurin." If this be correct, the ficey poli ticians of Florence court house must feel somewhat chagrined at their defeat, because it has been their boast for a long time that McLaurin nor his friends need apply for public favor in that county. 'One of Mc Laurin's friends, howe,'er, did apply, and the people gave him what he asked for in *spite of the self assumed managers of the nght of the people in Florence co'mty, and when the next election rolls around we expect to see a number of the now stiff necks begging McLaurin for quarter. ~YOU CAN BELIEVE The testimonials publised in behalf of B eod's Sarsaparilla. They are written by honest people, who have actually found in their own experience that Hood's Sarsa parilla purines the blood, creates an appe tite, strengthens the system and 'absolutely and permanently cures all diseases caused -by impure or deficient blood. *Hood's Pills for the liver and bowels, act promptly, easily and effectively, THE STATE'S COLLEGES. The Convention Devotes a Day to Biscussing Their Status. Goumnsza, Nov. 16.-Specia.--This en tire day of the Constitutional Convention was devoted to a discussion of the question whether the Legislature should be required. or simply authorized, to make proper pro. vision for the different colleges. The speech of the day was made by Seui ator Watson of Edgefield, his proposition being to substitute -'may" for "shall'; in the section relating to these institutions. Mr. Watson took the general position that the State cannot maintain a real university; it ought not to attempt anything in that line. He said the higher colleges must be sup ported by endowments. He thought they should receive just such support as the peop'le, represented in the Legislature, should, from time to time be pleased to give. The Constitution should not tie the ands of the people's representatives by any mandate on this subject. In the course of his speech Mr, Watson paid a handsome tribute to the denomina tional colleges ot ts State, citing them as examples of what private efforts, properly directed and united, may do. It was stated, by some of the colored delegatts, that Claflin University, at Or angeburg, is realty under the control of the Northern Meth.odist church, though that body-gives but $1,500 out of the $25,o0 used for its support. This particular mat ter was laid over for future inquiry ad ac ton. The ordinance to postpone the next ses son of the Legislature till the second Tues day in January, 1806, received its third reading. The Grovernor will, in a few uays, issue his proclamation formally annonec ig such postponement. The Convention adjourned to meet at noon on Monday. STATE oF Omto.
