Liberty Campaignl.
A good crowd collected by 11 o'clock.
W. T. O'Dell called the meeting to order. I
Dr. Fichis was the first speaker. iHe
3 briefly outlined the importance of a proper
constitution to hedge about the Legislative 1
department. The first is suifrage. Who
shall vote? We must have white supre
m macy. We must control. The colored i
vote is 40,000 majority. They well nigh
i ruline( the State once with a debt of $18,
000.000. We must arrange an election (
law to control that vote. There are many
plans by which we can fix this. South
Carolina is unwise to try to maintain five y
colleges. It is claimed that we have spent
$1,000 per student, per year at South Caro
lina college. Liberty township (lid not
have any more than $800. I said I would i
oppose any money going to any college,
but we should give enough to soe0e college
to get the benefit of the Hatch and Morrill t
funds.
We should have a homestead law. Texas
hals till iron clad one of $2,000 not to be (
waived. Georgia will let you waive down
to $300. Alabama also. I think homestead I
should be reduced. Wish it had been sub- 0
mitted to the people. 'ihe greatest men
i ace to ourI county now is concentration of t
wealth. If homestead will prevent this it
ought to be maintained. If we had been
true to ourselves all nations woul have I
adoptel our formi of government. France
llas done so. Monarchies are wrong. I
i think I have covered the most important I
points. I think we should have bieinial
I sessions of the General Assembly. Would
- thus save $125,000 every alterniate year.
The free school questionl is knotty. The
I colored people now get. $10.00 to whites a
f $1.00 of the school fuld. There should
f be a f3.00 poll tax to make them pay their
r* share to educatioi of their children. One $
- mill coist itltiotnil tax is enougI sIpple
mented with poll tax. Constitution rc
tjuires schools to be openi ten months in the W
year. But it is not done. At leat a two
I dollar poll tax shiouhl be required. The a
colored teole1h show they intend to have tj
their share -is they wvill go any distance to
school. The Rock 1Hill sehool is important b
and shoult1d alive as tuech laid as schools fo' n
boys. We owe the ladies everything. We
are just w hat they nmiake ts. 'rying to be 0
worthy of the best nuakes us whatt we are. p
Ani for female suffrage if necesstiry to
save our goveniment. The Bible justifies ti
divorce. Our law is too rigid on that
point. South Carolina is alone in this,
but schi a law is no hobby of mine. One
point On lwhich I amn emi:hatic. Counties,
towns and townships should be prohibited t
froiml "iving tid to railroads. Such taxes
are rouibery. Thie benefits are not eveii, t
and this makes it uujust. Besides there
i are more roads now than commerc de.
)Dr. It. . Smith: A voice I"That is Frank." M
South Carolina is a state of which anyone
I niight well he proud. Not on account of
the genial clime or fertile soil, but for the
character of her people. But there seems
I to be little interest in her present velfare. r
