WITH OUR I
Appropriation Bills Passed House
Except for four items, the general
appropriation bill was passed to third
reading Saturday by the house in ex
actly the form in which it was reported
by the ways and means committee
Thursday night. The house increased
the total of the bill by $21,000, making
it $1,963,986.23 instead of $1,942,986.23.
Of the increase $20,000 was added to
the $60,000 item for rural schools, em
ploying two or three teachers, under
act 497, page 924, statutes 1912. The
contingent fund to be expended by coun
ty boards of education under regulations
provided by the state superintendent of
education for especially needy rural
schools was also increased from $45,000
to $65,000, but this increase was offset
by striking out the item of $20,000 for
public school buildings and did notaffect
the total of the bill. The only remain
maining item the house changed was in
the section for the attorney general's
office, where the amount for expenses
of litigation was raised from $1,000 to
$2,000.
The 6-mill levy in the appropriation
bill is divided, 5 mills being set asidefor
general state purposes and -L tgli for
pensions, wtb the ir6viso that if the
the amount raised for-tensions shall ex
ceed the sum needed, then the remain
der shall be subject to the warrant of
the comptroller general for state pur
poses.
Comparatively few amendments were
offered to the appropriation bill this
year. Judging by results, the most se
rious difference of opinion between the
ways and means committee and the
house was over the distribution of $250,
000 for public schools, raised Saturday
to $270,000.
In the appropriation bill Winthrop
college was the only state educational
institution given a new building. The
state college for women was granted
$15,000 out of the taxes of 1915 and a
I like amount out of the taxes of 1916 for
a new gymnasium, provided the sum of
I $30,000 was raised from other sources
for the same purpose.
Besides the usual -ppropriatioinfoi
maintenance, the University of South
Carolina was given $12,500. to enlarge
. the heating plant.
The appropriation of $35,000 for the
maintenance of the Citadel and the item
of $1,000 for a new set of instru ients

Thismiade more uncertain than
wer the fate of the bill which the
aiinistration has pressed so urgent
Ly on Congress. Many members of
both houses concluded that..n. extra
ession seemed inevitable. There
were some, however, who still hoped
there yet might be time to dispose of
appropriation bills and the ship-pur
chase measure in some form before
March 4.
Adjournment came on a motion

Insurgent Democrats led by Senator

was that the warring Democrats hold
