His speech was atmut the most effective against Hie large appropriation. WILL rrorl EFFECT TAXK*. Mr. H. J. Klnsrd declared that tlie •proposed Increased appropriations will nut increase the levy which is now 5 mills. He had thought It unnecessary to keep up that' farm at Winthrop. Vait it had bi'en proved to him that the farm is necessary in order to give a constant and regular supply of vege tables and milk at a cheap price to thj college. The time has passed when women musLhe kept in the back ground. They must go hand in hand with men in the march of progress.' He made a strong aiid stirring appeal for the woman's college. Mr. J. B. Smith of Colleton; the champion of the common school, de clared that there are thousands of children In the commom schools and yet the legislature had refused them $100,000 last year. If the . common schools are forever discriminated against the people will rise up and send people to the legislature who will change the trend of affairs.
