Address From the Governor.

l.
In the providence of Almighty
God, his Excellency, VIM. FL.
Ellerbe, late Governor of South
Carolina, has passed to his reward.
I regret the sad event which makes
it necessary for me to assume the
duties of Governor of South
Carolina. The constitution, how
ever, ip mandatory, l have taken
the oath of office aud assumed
formal control Of the executive de-
partment to-day. l have thought
it proper toaddrass a word to the
people of the State.
I realize fully the responsibility
of the position. 1 shall endeavor
to be faithful and conscientious in
the disc barge of duties which
shall be mine.
In the wisdom which devised
our system Of government three
distinct departments were made
the legislative, the executive,
The judGial-to make the laws,
TO execute the laws, to interpret
the laws. Under our own con-
stitution they are to "be forever
separate and distinct from each
other" and no person exercising the
duties of the one shall assume to
discharge the duties OF the other.
1t is a wise provision. My duty
mainly is to see that the laws as
placed on the statute books by the
Legislative department are en-
forced. This I shall attempt to dc
faithfully and impartially, and
without fear or favor, following
only where duty points.
In doing SO, however, [ ask and
shall expect the hearty cooperation
of every officer in South Carolina,
whether he holds a State office, a
county office, or an office under a
municipality. Not only SO, but I
ask the hearty support and encour-
agement of every citizen of South
Carolina in the enforcement of
law, in the promotion and advan-
cement and progress of our own
commonwealth. ] realize the
impotency ofof any officer, however
faithful he may be, who does not
have this support.
We are on the eve of a great
industrial advance-in manufac-
ture, education, commerce, and
agriculture-and stand ready to
contribute my part as citizen and
officer to this forward industrial
movement, and to do anything in
my power for the welfare Of my
people, I have no political
punishments to infict and no
political rewards TO pay. 1t shall
be my aim and steadfast purpose
to give the people of the State a
strictly business administration,
and to be the Governor of all the
people. TO this end l seek their
sympathy, their counsel, and their
prayers, praying myself that peace
and happiness and prosperity may
como to every home in South
Carolina.
Yours respectfully,
