THE </orNTY REWORK
I t
THURSDAY, JAN. 13. 1910. j
?????????
The Legislature proposes to
'ha^e a thirty day session. Make!
it fifteen, gentlemen.
Georgetown, county certainly up-.
predates her adopted sons from
Will ianii^urg. A few months ago .
Mr J A Hemingway, a native of
Williamsburg, was appointed
couutv treasurer, and last week
'
Mr H C Tallevast. another son I
of this grand old couutv, was;
chosen to till the office left vu- j
cant by the resignation of the!
veteran county auditor, W H Dor-.
rill. Thus we see two of the
most important offices of our j
aeighbor county tilled bv young
men who moved over the line,
from Williamsburg. Georgetown
couutv is to be congratulated 01
having such material to choose!
from.
JI any of the spectators in the
court room Monday when the
negio, Kose, was sentenced went
*w.iy with the erroneous idea
thar the execution will be,
public, but that is a mistake, j
TLe form of sentence employ- '
ed was taken from the regular;
foru? book U3ed in the court;
room, which was published many J
years before the Legislature pass-1
ed the act providing for private:
hangings, which repealed all j
previous legislation in the subject, j
We are informed by Sheriff'
Oraham that the negro will be!
hanged on the gallows inside I
4lre jail.

this money do, anyhow, if" it is
to be tie-' up indefinitely:4 The,

Time Was, oulv a few tie- j'
, , i
cade-: aim, when tile "ihr.-o lis ' |
ami some slight Knowledge of
keeping accounts, was eonsideredj
ample equipment for the average!
woman for the ordinary duties of j^
life, the greater part of herj
training being given to the ac- i
quisition of the finer arts and!
It
graces that made up the font-en- (
sembh' of her refined and attractive
personality. The women
of a generation or two ago were ^
not expected to tight the battle
of life for themselves, but rather ^
to cultivate the clinging, dependent
side of their being, relying for a
material support upou some member
of the stronger sex. And j,
4'? . AUifrtli.n fKut rrrou,'
lilt? &{MI!L VL tunail ? illut ^ivn ^
out of this dependency made it
in most instances a pleasure and ^
privilege for the male member
of thr family to provide for t
and take care of those whose
province it was solely to minister
to ihe comfort and pleasure of the
bread-winner aud home- <
builder. Thus the women were fain .
to yield to the men not only the .
privilege of cut iug. the ballot
but also to let them practically mo- (
nopolize techuical and elsssical .
instruction. I
But times have changed, and l
nowadays, with shame be it t
spoken, the women are not only t
expected to earn their living c
wholly or in part, but statistics i
show that there are in the t
United States more than half a (
million men who are actually t
supported by their wives or j
daughters. c
Recognizing this gradual change t
? ? 1! 4
of conditions, oouin C/arouna i
some years ago made provision
for the higher education of her
daughters by the establishment
of Winthrop college, and since
then the State has been exceedingly
liberal in her support
of this institution. Moreover, we (
doubt not that in a few years
there will be one or more ad- (
ditional female colleges supported
by the State, and meantime 1
Winthrop will continue to fare
fully as well us she has done ^
in the past.
Winthrop college is doing a
great work and we do not re- ,
gret a single dollar that has j
ever been spent toward its upbuilding;
probably no equal
amount was ever more wisely ex- (
pended by the State. But we
must not expect the State to 1
discharge its accumulated debt to
the women of mauy generations, ^
arising from failure to provide
for their higher education, by '
appropriations to Winthrop out
of proportion to the funds
available for that purpose. Such
an expectation would not only be
unreasonable but without hope of
fulfilment. Our State is already 1
straining to carry her enormous
Lad of luxation and with constantly
increasing obligations weighting J
her down, it is a problem of gravest j
import to our ablest statesmen
and publicists how to meet the j
financial responsibilities of the
State without increasing the al- !
|
ready excessive tax rate.
Without in the least dis- i j
L-otinting Winlhrop's good work, '
we must not forget that the ed-1 I
una!ton:: 1 field is broad and com-i !
! i
pivheiisive, and there are other, j
:.;iiO'd.? dependent Upon State aid ;
that are just as Wortiiv as the
;i: ls" C'dli ge. Then there :U" the
I
...mi....1. .i ll... I. vv iii.-ii in ni:i mind
lie w r.-t of .1.i in need of more
lil?erul appropriations from the'
>t:ite. True t'ne boys' schools rei -ivinir
State aid outnumber the
= i
;ir!s" school three to one, but the
liale colleges are here already j
uul are doing good work andj
they must be supported. It J
would he the poorest sort of . !
i
icouoniy to abolish one or more i jj
>f these institutions in order j t
hat Winthrop might be enlarg- \
id so as to open her doors to 'j
ivery student that might apply j :
for admission. And yet that is j f
vhat it would mean if the girls K
irt to receive the same amount I
or higher education iust at this fi
ime that the boy^receive?either ?
hat or a big appropriation that
rouId su increase the tax levy
is to create among the taxlayers
a prejudice against all
State colleges, thus killing the
joose that laid the golden egg.
Now that the subject of taxation
hasj been touched upon, we
shall follow this article with a
liscussiou of the subject in a
nore general way. It is a
critical time in the political and
inaucial affairs not only of our
State but of the nation. Every
;hing runs to luxury and exravagance.
The masses of the
leople are growing restless under
he oppressive taxes imposed upou
hem and though patient and
ong-suffering. there is a poiut
>eyond which forbearauce ceases
,o be a virtue. Before reaching ?
his crucial point we hope thai ,
>ur law-makers, both State and
lational, will pause and rellect;
hat they will exeicise their
lualities of statesmanship to stop
he leak? in the public treasury
nstead of working overtime to
levise new schemes to squander
lie money of the people that
hey profess to represent.
Owing to a rush of matter at the
ast moment we are a day late this
veek issuing the paper.
