The Oldest Tree ON Earth.

The oldest tree on earth, at least as
far as any one knows, is the boo tree
in the sacred city Of Amarapoora, Bur-
ma. 1t was planted, the record says,
in the year 2SS B. @. Its great age is
proved according to historic docu-
ments, says Sir James Emerson. who
adds: ITO 1t kings have dedicated their
dominions in testimony of belief that
it is branch of the identical fig tree
under which Buddah reclined at Urum-
elva when he underwent his apotheo-
SIS" Its leaves are carried away by
pilgrims as relics; but, as it is too sa-
cred to touch with knife, these leaves
can only be gathered after they have
fallen.

COY. MesNfEAIEYss MESSAGE:
HIS ANNUAL REPORT TO THE.
GENERAL ASSEMBLY.
Recommends ationIs and Su!gges-
tiens Made For Guidance
of Law Makers.

Gentlemen Of the General Assembly:
The organic law Of the State makes
it the duty of the chief executive to
lay before the general assembly at
each annual session review of=thei
different departments of government,
and to make such recommendations
and suggestions as may seem to him
wise and proper.
The past year has been remarkable
one in many respects. Many stirring
events have marked the record. The
tillers Of the soil in many sections OF
our State have notzhad the usual re-
turns for their labors, and with many
of them the present year is going to
be one Of sacrifice and self denial, and
yet they are looking hopefully to the
future and not complaining. The de-
5velopmentzand progress Of the State in
manufacturing enterprises goes
steadily forward. sometimes fear
that these enterprises are being built
up at the expense of the rural dis
tricts. It has been really among the
owners and tillers of the soil that
the sinews Of strength in our State in.
times of peril and of troublde have
rested. The strength Of State and
the patriotism Of people rest with
the home owners Whatever can. be
done by wise legislation to encourage
home owning will be so much contrib
uted to the patriotism of our State
and to the stability of our institu-
tions.
Since your last session the nation.
has been bowed down beneath the
weight of grievous sorrow, caused
by the dastardly blow which struck
down its chief executive, blow aimed
not at him but at you and every law
abiding citizen of the land, and at the
free government of which he had been.
chosen by the American people as the
head. Itgwas blow at organized So
ciety and the victim was only an in
cident. A sentiment which gives rise
to an act like this is one Of the dangers
which threaten our nation. And yet,
at no time has the stability Of our
form of government been more clearly
shown than at this critical period, for
the life Of no one man, however e1alt-
ed and beloved he may be, is neces-
sary to the continued prosperity and
welfare of the people, and the fair
treatment given the murderer but
served to show to his associates the
efficacy and the dignity, and the nee
essity for the preservation of that law
which be sought to overthrow.
Within the past year three of your
own members-Hon. e. .@Ragsdale,
of Fairfield: Hon. 6. J. Redfearn,
of Chesterfield, and Hon. J. B. Bates,
of Barnwell-have been called from
their labors here on earth and have
gone to join the innumerable hosts on
the other shore.
There will be many matters of inn
portance to command your considera-
tion and in all questions coming be-
fore you, you should always bear in
mind the interests of the people,
whose servants you are. To this end
you will have my aid and cooperation.
