The Governors Message.

N'pN McoWceheN message to
the Legislature is too lengthy for
publication in full in Tle Ledger,
and SO we publish the following
synopsis Of the message from the
Aiken journal and Review:
The Governor pays a tribute to

decessor in Office, and then notes
the wonderful strides the State

Southern states and stand sec
Ond to Massachusetts in the num-
her of spindlcs. At this rate he
thinks we will soon lead all others
in this important industry.
The finances of the State are in
splendid condition, all obligations
have been met wittou having t.
borrow money or make over
drafts. The cash balance on hand
Dec 31st, 1899, was sos, ,S75.65.
Under the head of taxation the
Governor makes a strong recon
mendatlon. 1t is to tax all prop
erty at its value He well saws
that it can make no difference
what per cent of value is returned
to the Auditor SO long as all per-
sons are equally assessed in pros
portion. There is certain
amount to be raised and certain
per cent on the returns makes the
rate OF taxation. The Governors
idea Is that "A moro uniform as
scS'ment could be reached by re
qulring everyone to return their
property at actual value as the
law requires Then TN. rata
would be much lower than now
and the burden would he couaI.
