For higher and spocial education, the amounts provided irnrextremely interesting, the items being as follows: 'South- Carolina-University $528,|00o.2oClemson College, $200,093.78; Winthrop College, $472,* 747,39; Medical College, $130,l800.00: Confederate Home Col' -lego, $4,000; De La Howe School, ' $ 9 .35LS2 7cmTaJi)tal. or~$t;425;' 893.74 for whites. Besides to ' Clemson and Winthrop wfis given ' for public serviced the r,um of training "oi^the colol'Otb1 -people ?the following was appropriated: ;~StfrttT College, ^115,625.00. This jlnno* school did ask for the modest sum of 160,630; the Budget Commission^ recommended. $1.57, 150, but the legislature with its economical clothes on cut even this, giving only the sum -mentioned -g-above . llowcvor with no representation and no -Arote, At -that-the colored people, \vc suppose had lietter feel thank fuL There was nothing a-ndris nothing^ lu Juice-the legislature to give even that?we mean nothing save their great spirit of generosity, kindly feeling and ^-a-d^ira_Lo show the - colored ' people that they need not even bother about the ballot as their ; welfare will ever be given carefnl i oniiiflcrat inn .Fninvold Tn , dustrial School was giveir $2,000. For the State Superintendent ' oi Education's Office was appropriated the sum of $3,434,780.42. The colored-people however may ' forget about that, for little of it. 1 if any will ever touch them. As . we understand ft, most of that sum will go to make good the "G-0-1" law; this law guarantees thai every~vh"ite'common" school twill be run for 7 months?so far no such things as colored com^ don't need a whole 7 months session anyway to learn what is to be taught irr the public schools'! If'they did, Wouldn't there' be -tprevisions-foF such ? From the figures given above, it can be seen that every time \the as a State spend $1 for itf^colored people, it spends - over. $12 for its white people? and we are" not speaking about -the common schools., that's another story. The best way for a spinster to im1 prove her "tot is to build a house on , it and put some good maff in., the house. ' . 1 i . , ?
