STATE OFFICERS INAUGURATED.
What Governor Ellerbe Had to Say to the
General Assembly.

What Governor Ellerbe Had to Say to the
General Assembly.
The governor and other state officers
were sworn into office last Wednesday.
Governor Ellerbe's inaugural address
was as follows:
FELLOW CITIzENs-Two years ago
II was called by an almost unprece-
dented majority to the highest office
within your gift. The reasons for my
overwhelming victory are not far 10
seek. We had just passed through
four years of the bitterest partisan
warfare that had ever shaken the
state. 1t had arrayed brother against
brother and friend against friend. 1t
had engendered the bitterest feelings
between the different classes of our
population. Town aud country were
at war, instead of working harmo-
niously for a common good. The
Reform movement brought many sub
stantial gains to the people; but, like
every other social revolution, it brought
with it the concomitant and insepara-
BILE ills of which 1 have spoken. The
good remains the evil in time disap-
pears. The people, especially the
people of South Carolina, are generous
and in their hearts the passions of
partisan hate soon die out, self-con-
sumed.
"'Twas thus, after four years strife,
the people now, in mutual, we'll be-
seeching ranks, marched all one way,
no more opposed against acquaintance,
kindred and allies. Ignoring party
lines, they turned with characteristic
generosity to me; not because of spe-
cial worth or fitness on my part, for |
had done nothing to merit such mark
ed esteem hut because they who knew
me best believed that as governor, |
would not serve faction, but the whole
people, aud strive to bring i'll an era
of peace and good fellowship. Thus
was | able 10 launch the ship OF state
under favoring breezes. Knightly and
generous souls came forward with
pledges of cooperation. The press,
with scarcely an exception, promised
support and prophesied happy voy-
age under favorable skies. With many
misgivings I undertook the task to
which l was called, scarcely daring to
trust my ability to meet the expecta-
io9&of the people. Would that it
had bpen nossible
"The scant majority, however, re-
Gently accorded me after stubbornly
fought fight, is in sharp contrast with
the overwhelming victory of two years
ago, and yet have no reason either to
complain or whine. My duty have
performed to the best ofny ability. My
mistakes shall neither attempt to con-
done, nor to shift the burden of their
responsibilities on others. With deep
gratitude to the friends who have new
er wavered in their support, with
malice towards none and good will to.
wards my fellow citizens, with a pro-
found appreciation of the great honor
conferred, l enter upon my second term

as governor of this historic common
wealth. To the citizens, let ME repeat,
whose votes were cast for me I can
never express my gratitude, but, while
deeply grateful to my friends, shall
endeavor never to forget my duty to
the whole people and to treat with
fairness and consideration even the
bitterest political enemies.
'I repeat what was said two years
ago. l 1assume this Office untrammeled
by a single promise Inconsistent with
the welfare of the people. To dis
charge my duties faithfully and well,
to win the approval and to merit the
confidence of all patriotic citizens,
shall be my highest ambition. In my
former inaugural was outlined a policy,
which in the main. I shall still endeavor
to pursue. In conclusion, my country
men, I bespeak for myself, during the
two coming years, if my life be spared,
the utmost stretch of your generosity
and charity.
Gall good citizens are struggling,
though over different roads, for the
same goal, the highest welfare of our
beloved state. Let us vie with each
other not 10 engender wrath and bit
terness of speech but to allay passion
and prejudice, and to enkindle in the
hearts of the rising generation deeper
love for our grand old state. With
confidence in the integrity of our
people, with faith in God, who favors
and protects the righteous, l shall take
up the burdens of this high trust with
fresh hope and strong courage"

POORHOUSE DINNER.

The county board of commissioners
was entertained last Thursday at the
County Home with a royal dinner that
was rendered with the compliments of
Superintendent Gauldin. All the
members of the board were present
with the exception of Major A. H.
White, of Catawba township.
The invitation had been extended
to the county board some weeks pre-
viously, and it was arranged that the
members would 60 out to the County
Home after they had completed the
transaction of their regular business.
The dinner was a sumptuous affair,
prepared under the direct supervision
of Mrs. Gauldin, assisted by her daugh-
ters. 1t consisted of turkey, ham,
partridge pie, bread, cake, pies, pick
les, preserves, sauces, etc. In fact
there was at hand everything that is
required to make a good dinner COM
plele, served in manner that helped
to add to the enjoyment of the occa-
sion. After the dinner came oranges,
apples and cigars.
At the invitation of Mr.. Gauldin, the
board took occasion, during the after
noon, to make a general inspection of
the premises, including the quarters of
the paupers, the barn and stables, the
condition of the farm generally, etc.
Everything is said to show up. in first
class style.
This is the second time Superinten-
dent Gauldin has taken occasion to
compliment the board of commission
ers with sumptuous dinner, and this
time he kindly extended his invitation
to the reporter of THE ENQUIRER;
but, as it happened, circumstances
were such that the latter invitation,
although highly appreciated, could not
be accepted.

THE CONFEDERATE REUNION.
Captain IredelI Jones Calls Upon the Gen
erosity Of the People.

Captain lredell Jones Calls Upon the GEN.
erosity Of the People.
Captain Iredell Jones, of Rock Hill,
has written to The News and Courier,
a letter in which he shows what a
handsome thing it will be if every
county in the state will contribute to
the success of the Confederate re-
union in Charleston. Here is what
he says:
The following resolutions were adop-
ted by the executive committee of the
United Confederate Veterans at their
meeting in Columbia, November 16,
1898:
Resolved, That the members of the
executive committee and the comman-
ders of the local camp, U. c. v, in
each county, be appointed commit
tee to solicit assistance in provisions
for the entertainment of the Confed-
crate Veterans in Charleston during
May, 1899, and that in each county
the committee shall use the best means
in their judgment 10 interest the peo.
pie to contribute to this laudable un-
dertaklng. That the committee in the
respective counties communicate by
February l, 1899, to the chairman of
the executive committee in Charleston
what their county will probably do to,
wards assistance in entertaining the
veterans"
Having been appointed chairman OF
the committee which reported the
above, I feel it incumbent on me to
call public attention to the resolutions,
and to urge the citizens of the various
counties to assist in making the occa'
sion a grand success. I am sure it is
only necessary to properly advertise
and manage this appeal for assistance
to secure the most ample contributions.
1t would be most becoming and ap-
propriate tribute to the patriotism OF
our people if they should now offer
help to the citizens of Charleston who
have so generously taken upon them
selves the burden of providing for this
mammoth entertainment.
Thousands of veterans, many OF
them baLtle.scarred in service of their
country, will assemble in the "Old City
by the Sea-" gathered together from
every quarter of the south.
Charleston can be relied on to do her
part, and more than her part, and il
every county in the state will give a
helping hand in this patriotic celebra-
ton, South Carolina will have cause
to feel as proud of her benevolent,
charitable and hospitable spirit in 1899
as she does of the chivalrous, self
denying and heroic deeds of her sons
and daughters during the war between
the states.

A dispatch of Tuesday to the New
York Herald from Hong Kong, says ::
The Herald's Manila correspondent
reports a strict censorship upon dis
patches. The latest advices, dated
January 13, stated that the situation
in the Philippines is still acute. Agui-
naldo is holding his force in check
with difficulty and natives have been
arrested for smuggling arms into the
walled city. On one occasion a coffin
was found full of arms, and on an
other six Mauser rifles and stock of
was discovered hidden in
a load of straw. The natives residing
in the city predicted an attack on
Manila Sunday, the 18th, but the for
eigners maintained that there would
be no attack if the Americans do not
precipitate one. The position of the
Americans is very unpleasant. Their
Spanish prisoners are unfriendly, and
the hostile natives are numerous and
we'll armed, both inside and outside of
Manila. In Iloilo the situation re-
mains the same, except that the ma
tives are intrenching themselves. The
native troops outside of Manila are
most insolent and it is hard work to
restrain the Americans. The Filipino
soldiers come out of their lines close
up to the American outpost, load their
rifles, deliberately point them at the
American soldiers and then derisively
walk back TO their own lines. Under
such conditions there might be fight
at any moment.

Cotton In the Country.
"There is considerably more cotton
in the country than you might think
for" remarked a well.known cotton
buyer in the presence of the reporter
last Wednesday. "It is true that some
large farmers who have heretofore
been in the habit of holding their cot
ton, sold the last crop early but still
there is lots of cotton stored away. I

Apologize.
Washington Special to Atlanta Journal.
Representative Berry, of Kentucky,
has gotten himself mixed up with the
German emperor for his remarks re-
garding Germany made in his recent
speech on the navy personnel bill.
The German ambassador, in an unoffi. .
cial way, called attention of the state
department today to the statement
made on the floor of the house last
Thursday by Colonel Berry, that "he
believed in stronger navy to protect
our newly acquired territory but that
we would not be hurried by any nation
on earth, even if it involved the fact
that it would he necessary to whip

1t is reported that when bill to
license horse -shoers was introduced in
the house, the other day, the members
laughed. Just why they laughed it is
not stated but the presumption is that
it was because they considered the
proposition ridiculous. Possibly Ii
cense is not the proper remedy, and
for instance a law that could prevent
a man from shoeing his own horse, if
he desires, would be hardship. But
the idea is not altogether ridiculous.
Many good horses and mules are ruin
ed by the incompetency and ignorance
of jackleg farriers, and an effort to
raise the standard of efficiency among
these people should be commended
rather than ridiculed.
