See acta 1912, page OHO. He helped to paaa the bills provid ing that at least one scholarship in each county, in both Clemson and Wlnthrop, should he aet aalde to he comi>eted for by country boys and girls only, for the reason that the boys and girls In the towns, having better chances to prepare themselves, were getting all the free scholarships In those Schools and the country boys and girls were l?elng left, because their preparatory schools were not as efficient. Now, one scholarship, if there are less than four in a county and two, If there are more than that, must go fo a farmer'K hoy or irlrf See acta 11)12, page080. He has also been persistent In his fight for good road leglalatlon aiid al-. though he has hot been able to get the State as a whole to embark iu this work, his own towilship has, by aiHM'lal legislation and taxes levied made model roads to tlie boundaries of his township, and this 'plan is spreading over the entire country. So he has shown constructive ge nlua as a legislator and it has been along the line of the uplift of the farming class. Ills leadership has been acknowledged in the house and Is only indicative of what he would be If in congress. As- to his ability as a legislative debater, we cite a report of a great debate In the house, made by the most expert reporter of legislative debates in South Carolina, Mr. August Kohn On January 2a, 1912, Mr. Kolin says:" The argument of Mr. W. F. Stevenfcon, of Cheraw, was one of the finest ONE OF THE MONT j ANl ) ELOQUENT H M^^avATION on tne floor of thtf house.
