THE TILLIA
BROTHERS:
"UNCLE GEORGE" GOES FOR
CLEISON AND SUFFRAGE.
j.efs Brother Bet Replies, and There
Vas an Interesting Debate.
ti Iie (onstitutiof'al conveUti!u of
Fridav dluing th' discussion of the
scetion :1n Education Hon. George ).
Tiiimau maue' an hour and a half's
speech which coiniandel close atten -
tiou. He was afraid South Carolina
vas about to attempt too much for her
means. South Carolina, though a lit
tie patcb of the world, about the size
f three Texas crttle counties, had all
the aspirations of an eipire. It was
""duni spiro spero. spes." He gave a
liberal translation of this motto, and
said nobody but a Huguenot could
ever have conceived it. He referred
to the late Alliauce craze which had
swept over the country. He said that
as the promise of 40 acres and :t mule
had drawn all the negroes into the Ie- .
publican secret union league, the rural
population in South Carolina under
rook to stem the tide. He cited the
1rouble Goorgia had had. Georgia
had gone along smoothly after she
took Northern for Governor. It had
not beeu so here. All this, he said,
was merely introdnetory to a long
winded talk.
W1e are attemptiug too mch. We
are trying to provide an elaborate sys
tem for a divided, inpoverished and
s:nali State. When the 2 mil. tax went
into operation it took several years to
get the system organized at all. Our
.old :tate hadn't had a showing when
the sy,teni was started. We have been
too impatient. We shouhl have re
forII_ed the motto on the coat of arms
instead of the picture. We are at
Srapting too much. Why increase this
tax from 2 to 3 mills? A good deal of
perjury had already been committed in
this State in the matter oc the un er
valuation of property. Ifi tistax was
increased then there would be more of
it. Under this thing we c:u1,:t a whit
man fail ti ptay his poll anl et let
him vote. And there's tht eternal
Iraud we have been practiciug and will
stili practice with this-nbeme. I our
white men divide, as they are certain
to do, all advantage will be.' taken, of
the prosperous mau.
This was a supreme etort ou the part
of the State for education, becausi it
was a cutiaiction for suffrage nol.
Such a qualitieation for sutrage aiun't
worth a snap of my finger. TE

lish government to be to-day the best
that ever existed on the face of the
earth. They base their su('ag 1 on
property.
An educational quali:icatiou was
never heard of in this country until
Connectient andl Massachusetts adopted
it to e.nlude men fro:n the polls inse.d
of adimitting them thereto.

LThe negroes have ten tunes morelin

not shoulted for education to qualify
her voters; but it was to imake he

.., ae M Chaiiin University. lai 182 an
act was p)assed by the United States
governme~nt to give :30,e00 acres o
lad to each State to erect institutions
upen. -Scott sold it, and Moses stole
the money. Mr. Tillman. told how the
matter was brought about. Half of
this fund wvent to Ciatlin: the othe
hiali goes to Clemson college. Then
in 1892 congress gave each State the
ilatch fund to establish an educationa
a gricultural station. Five thloua$Iud
of this was given to Clatlin; the rest
wvent to Clemson or the South Carolina
college, I don't know which. Tin
came the Morrill fund, appropriated
in 1890T, a hirge portion being reqluiredI
to be applied to colored edulcation. The
intention of Mr. Morrill was that th
colored colleges should have the bulk
of it. He (Tillmau) had tried hard to
get the innd from the government and
the trouble v as that South Sarolina
didnt wvant to give the negroes more
than hazlf '; the mnoney-. He had to,
get a h ill through bo0th houses in order
to get the fund. He had to show.
how genierous South Carolina had been
with the school funds towards the
negroe5, whenU she was not comlJtCled1
to be so. T'here was a proiiSiou in
both the Hatch and Morrill bills which
allowed cougress to recall these ap
propriations. Now let us dare not to
be ;iberal with C'aflin and see what
will happen?
Now sir. L. for one am net in favor
of having in'the Constitution any' of
the" S:e co'lleges. It might bewi
j.-':. fund and putiinthe Con:stitu
ti n.Bt that coleg is provided for
an~'d "o power in this country_can take
it awar Somae action ougnt to ie
taken' either b-y the general assembly
orvb this body for our higher insti
ttions.~ Think for a moment how
much money has been spent for our
aigZer insttutionls: What comes in
in the way of tuition funds? Is the
se .e t.ruish all this for nothing?
Thre hunred students there are at
cls-.How many of them pay
a. n how much? I am told
unni S'0 or $40 a year. What
.abot 'Cequal rights to all and special
.rivi!me to none" Ji is the same at
. ta .cole. If the amouint of
tuition paid could be publithed to
morrow it would cause an earthquake
of indiurnatiou.
The 'Citadel acade-ny was doin g a
good work. The boys are taken there
and furnished board and all. There
they get a superb education and are
tought the knowledge of the soldier
the art of war. In case a great
cmerge:yshould arise, wo would have
trained oheers to coinmand our troops
aud not greenhorns. It was origiually
establi5hed to train oticers for the ex- I
pccted war. South Carolina ILuaV ned

the rememr!I -ber that she e,ommencUd'

The citadel deserved earnest support.
No more so though in its sphere than
Clemson does in its. But Clemson
won't stay within its sphere: The
citadel's graduates paid the State back
in work.
When Clemson - as first established
00 boys matricul-te'l. The S?ate
eimtied her wealth into the lap of
Clemson, and yet it was the .trongest
compound mixture of all kinds of edu
cation on the face of God's green
earth. I know nothing to be c;upar
ed to it in the way of failure and umi
bug except the di-sausary" ad the sub
tr:asury. (Lhtr.) A agrwcul
tunid al mechutpici+l college and
ii::Aria! college they called it. if it
was so the term mueant experimertatiou
and industry. The two best institutions
of this kind were the govermuent 'I
dian coleges. This was the only step
that the United States government h'ts
ever taken that has civilized the Judi
aus at alI. They work with their
hauds one-half the time and study
books the balane tf the day.

vetured to predic:t that the majority
of the studients wvould turn ont lawyers
or something else instead of farmers.
He thought it unconstitutional to work
too murchi iu the hot sun. (Laughter.)
He thought the 2 mill tax and the S1.
pll tax was enough. The liquor fund
could gin t) nothing more appropriate.
The phosphate royally should be ap

said thu same thing about cotton fac

I am sorry to say anything about this
sufrage' matter but I must do so. It
is my duty. The sufre.ge plan adopt
ed is not "the entertainment to which
South C:arolina was invited." to use
Mr. Webster's form of expression.
They were told that no white men
would be disfranchised and that it
wou ld be done by honiest constitution

aonside the understanding clause?

Senator Tiliman then took the Iloor

A BRIEF RVIEW
FOR THE WEEK
OF THE W ORK 07 ri. CONSTI
TUTIONAL CONVEN'ION.
it is Thought by Many That th Endt is
.iLout. Ii Sight. The Legisature
Out of the Way.
The c'Jtnstitutioual conventiun is nOW
'n t1he home'.tretch. The ienibers are
w' -LIth more heart and vim and
begin to feel that the ulvlight of ad
ieu nment is ahead. There was not a
imebCer of the convention who had
anv idea that the convention would
oitinte in session as 1ocg as it has.
The session has been a .strain on many
and none will regret wheu it is all
over, and all will return home with
the ConsciOUsness that the best iossible
las been done for the good of the old
State. The journal of hast Saturday's
procee igs will have on it "forty
ninth dazy," and from that someidea of
the work and time can be had. It has
taken a very long time to refraine the
counstitution, and the general opilllOl
is ihat what has teen done has been
ccomilishlel as rapidly as possib:?,
and that it will tai:. from1 tento fifteen
dvs to complete the tIl.
The couvention has fo.-r a ong time
had the dream of a counict with the
Legislatuare to disturb its memk~bers. It
was thought that the Legislature would
have to be in session at the same time
with the convention, but the "people"
that is what they call the conventiou
touk hold of the natter and postponed
the lezilativc session until the 14th of
January. Whether the convention has
the constitntional right to postpone the
legislative session Itil the old consti
tution was rei-ealcd by a new one being
adopted or not mattered not; the legis
lative session had to be postponed,
and it was done without question or
quoile. and no one is sorry for the.
(elay. In future years the legislative
session will be held in January, and it
may be as well to make the start in
that direction at this time.
The general expectation now im that
the Legislature will be in session from
forty to sixty days on aceount of the
volume of wor i that will be necessary
in making the statute laws conform to
the new constitution.
The past week has been one of tt
most important in the progress
convention. The - educata
mittee report, which n
continuously affec.
the people of the
artiele, was -ive -
~enlonewere!ctsupplement
,n hool, of the
State woulu . xed for
than the= have ever been.
In addition to the three mill tax, the
8l poil tax and ihe supleiental tax,
the committee expect to have the con
vention accept its suggestions with
reerene to tht use of the profits from
the Dispensary and the Penitentiary
as well as the revenue from eheated
estates. The income tromn the Dispen
sary has been put down at a minimum
of $100,000O, and the chances are with
the use of the Dissensary profits for
shool purposes that it wvill be con
sidralyl inereased as prices may oce
somewhit increased on account of the
more general support that will be ex
peted from the law.
Tihe amount of pronit to be derived
from the P'eniteit.iary is somewhat no
certain on accoun of the introductieu
of the chain gang system, which is do
ing :so much for the improvement of
the reads in the countie:a. It is, howv
ever, exp)eted that, by the uise of the
available emplIoyees and the good
mangement that is now being had,the
Penitetiary can and will help the
school fund. There is one rather
peculiar feature about the action of the
Convention on these educational mat
tes. Meny of the d1elegates~ personally
favor the three mill tax as well as the
2 poll tax, liut have voted against
these propositions because "their peo0
le do not want the three ii tax or
ore than a $1 poli tax."
The sixth section, which provides for
the collection and distribution of the
public school fund, which is the real
backbone of the school system, was
passed as reported. but not without a
a hard contest.
Senator Tillman succeeded in having
his special bobby as to small and com
pact districts atccepted, and this. too,
is expected to help the public schools.
.Tst here it may be mentioned that
ISenator Tillman has shown a broad,
liberal and genuine interest in the
schools and colleges of the State, and
has won many friends by his manly
Itight for the support of dl that can
tend to the imp)rovemlent of the educa
tinl systemi of the State.
The light is still going on as to. higher
educational institutions. It has been
Isuggested that it looks more like a
fight of the denominational colleget
migainsi the State institutions thani a
right of the delegates against the pri:i
eine involve3.
The :irst part of the week was de
voted to the consideratiou. of the~
article on corporations. iUy g'enra
consent the provisions are con-idler.d
more stringent than those now in
effct.
Sonmc of the2 egenItial p)oints inthe
article are:
ns to railroeA corporations:
They are re.-ared to become incor
porat'l under~tne laws of this State.
The Statue against railroad conls'!i
daton is incoi-porated in the Co:MIi
ttitn.
Provsin agaus1it chaing~il a higher
rt. Per tonl forii shi pmen,'ts i n it ohe
thaa~for 5lhipimts (out O thl. s:tc for
it shall be unlawful for any railroad
corporation to relieve by contract of
its common law liability or limiting
the same. This is e:pected to do
away with the "release" clause as to
shipping.
t.mpty and loaded cars must be in
terchanged by intersecting railroa'ls.
A railroad commission is provided
for to prevent "njust discrimination,
extortion, etc."
Abandonment of the present law
relative t, the liability of railroads
from accidents resulting from the acts
of fellow servants thereby increasing
the responsibility of the railroads in
the matter of damages.
In the matter of banks, the most im
)ortant action were in the provisions
for a bank examiner, makir:g bank
stockholders liable to depositors in a
sum equal to their stock over and above
the face -alue of the same and th i en
nulative l lan for electing directors is
to apply to all classes of corporations.
There seems to be a little question
as to whether banks that have already
been incorporated under the general
act of incorporation will be liable to
the provisions of the article, the liabil
ity of the stockholders being fixed in
their charters.
The article on corporations wa
passed more hurriedly than perhaps
any other before the convention and is
likely to be amended on the third read
