15. Strike out in section l, paragraph II,

which will reduce the entire deficiencies un'
der this bill to S72,024.25.
now recommend further that the proceeds
of the phosphate royalty be entirely devoted
to meeting the appropriations made in this
bill. This fund will amount to at least S4O,-
900, which will make further reduction Of
DEFICIENCIES under this bill to $32,024.25.
To attain such result ought to be not only
the duty but the pride and joy of every man
who seeks to serve the State.
No doubt the reductions suggested will pro-
duce hardship and temporary injury to some
interests of the State; but such evils will not
be worthy of comparison with the vast gains
to be derived from once more coming back to
the true rule of expending only what we hon.
estly have to expend. No injury can be so
great than that which we now witness in our
citizens who have worked for the State Z lent
their money or credit, and are now waiting and
suffering, because the State made appropria-
tions when she had no funds with which to re-
deem her promises.
think the government can be properly
maintained during the coming year on the
appropriations reduced as have suggested.
I further recommend that in section 2, par
agraph 1, there be inserted between the
words superintendent" and "approved;" in
line 10, the words, accompanied by bill OF
particulars - and after the word "directors,"
in the same line, there be added the words,
"in respect to prices paid and the quantity of
commodities bought or work DONE"
also recommend that the same changes
be made in paragraph 2 of section 2, in re-
spect to the Lunatic Asylum.
I commend these suggestions to your most
earnest consideration, and remain your obe'
dient servant,
D. H. CHAMBERLAIN,
Governor of South Carolina.
