The Privilege Tax.
The following is a synopsls^of Mr.
Manning*! remarks In the House on
Wednesday, when the bill for the re?
duction of the Privilege Tax oil Fer?
tiliser! was under discussion:
Two matters are involved in this
bill?
1. Whether the privilege tax falls
on the consumer or not?
2. Whether Clemson is receiving
and spending more than it is neces?
sary for it's efficient work?
As to the first question ; I will lay
it down as a general proposition that
all expenses and taxes must ulti?
mately fall on the consumer. This
can bo illustrated by the fact that
cotton seed meal can be bought as
cattle food for less than as a fertilizer
by 25c. a ton, the amount of the
privilege tax. This matter can be
elaborated, but I deem it unneces?
sary, and the main question for us to
consider is contained in the 2nd
proposition.
In the first place let me disabuse
your minds of one error which is not
generally understood. The Hatch
fund, amounting to $15,000, has no
connection with the College expenses.
This fund cannot be disbursed ex?
cept under the direction of the Fed?
eral government, and under these di?
rections must be spent exclusively
in Experimental Station work. I
will show by the report of the Trus?
tees and with statements of Dr.
Hartzog and Col. Simpson, explan?
atory thereof, that Clemson received
the following amounts:
Balance on hand as per
last report $ 7,570.58
Interest on Clemson be?
quest 3,512.36
Land Scrip Fund 5,754.00
Tuition lees 2,470.00
Rents 210.00
Electric Plant 340.33
Privilege tax $59,102.50
Less Expense of
Pertir. dep't. 7,554.30 51,638.90
$71,495.47
Add Morrlll Fund 12,000.00
$83,495.47
Other items included in report
among receipts cannot be properly
included as a yearly revenue.
Expenses as taken from
page 40 of the report of the .
Board of Trustees $65,439.42
Expenditures of Morrill
Fund 12,000.00
$77,439.42
And balance on hand of 10,000
Less out standing bill 3,000
$7,000
Or a little less than they had on
hand as per last report.
Now if the Privilege is reduced to
15c. we will have $23,677.00 less than
tho college had last year (supposing
the amount of fertilizer sold to be
the same as last year) or a total
revenue of about 59,818.47
With an expense acct. of 77,439.42
showing a deficiency of 17,620.95
which may be reduced by some
increase in tuition fees?but even al?
lowing a liberal increase from
this source, we would still have a
deficit of about $16,000
Now Mr. President it has been
stated that extravagance is shown
at Clemson. I know nothing of this.
I have asked for specifications and
none havo been given. If there is
waste or extravagance an examining
committee should be appointed by
the Legislature and make thorough
investigation to determine the truth
or falsity of the charge, and if they
exist, to remedy them. But for one
I am not willing to cripple the insti?
tution. I believe that Clemson is
improving and growing in its effi?
cient work and it would be a great
mistake now to do anything to cause
any check to its usefulness. With?
out going further into the matter,
believe that Clemson is growing in
popular estimation, its usefulness is
increasing and is more generally re?
cognized, and that people of South
Carolina want it and will insist on
its maintenance, and for one I stand
squarely for education of all kind.
If this bill passes I believe a direct
appropriation will be asked for and
will be needed, so I will vote against
the bills.

The Only Sale tVay 1m to Heed the Warning. Jolinaton'a Sarrmparllla
1? the Moat Powerful Hlood Purifier Known.
Nature, in her efforts to correct mistakes, which mistakes have come from
careless living, or it may be from ancestors, shoots out pimples, blotches and
other imperfections on the skin, as a warning that more serious troubles (per?
haps tumors, cancers, erysipelas or pulmonary diseases) are certain to follow if
you neglect to heed the w arning and correct the mistakes.
Many a lingering", painful disease and many an early death has been avoided
simply beoause these notes of warning have been heeded and the blood kept
pure by a right use of JOHNSTON'S SARSAPARILLA.
Miss Abbie J. Rande, of Marshall, Mich., writes:
** I was cured of a bad humor after suffering with it for five years. The
doctors and my friends said it was salt rheum. It came out on my head, neck
and ears, and theo cm my whole bodj'. I was perfectly raw with it. What I
suffered during those five years, is no use telling. Nobody would believe me if
I did. I tried every medicine that was advertised to cure it. I spent money
enough to buy a house. I heard JOHNSTON'S SARSAPARILLA highly
praised. I tried a bottle of it. I began to improve right away, and when 1 had
finished the third bottle I was completely cured. I have never had a touch of it
since. I never got any thing to do me the least good till I tried JOHNSTON'S
SARSAPARILLA. I would heartily advise all who are suffering from humors
or skin disease of any kind to try it at once. I had also a good deal of stomach
trouble, and was run down and "miserable, but JOHNSTON'S SAKSAPARILL A
made me all right."
The blood is your life and if you keep it pure and strong vou can positively re?
sist disease or face contagion fearlessly. JOHNSTON'S SARSAPARILLA never
fails. It is for sale by all druggists, in full quart bottles at only one dollar each*
