brevity, its directness and its evident
purpose to encourage the upbuilding
OF the State. Gov. Heyward said:
Gentlemen Of the General Assembly
ana Ny Fellow Citizens:
Two years ago I had the honor OF
taxing the oath Of Office as eo7ernor
OF South Carolina. Standing agair,
tcGaY IN this distinguished presence,
70 ple6ge myself apew to the service
Of our State, I am even more solemn
!y impressed with the duties which
must and do devolve upon one whom
the people have selected as their
chief executive. This occasion, with
the formal renewal Of my oath,
though 1t brings before me afresh the
realization Of grave responsibilities,
ills my heart with deepest gratitude
because OF the honors which have
been bestowed upon me by my fellow
citizens.
Ihe past and the future alike in.
stinctiVely rise before me, the one
with its work finished, its history
written: the other with It's unknown
tasks, with its welfare in our keeping
In the retrospect see much for which
I am deeply grateful, much that ]
can never forget. Especially true Is
this when remember the loyal sup
port accorded me by the people Of oul
State IL my endeavor to merit Their
confidence by advancing, as best
could, the highest interest Of oul
commonwealth. To feel that those
to whom one is alone responsible
should set upon him the seal OF theil
approval by such reelection as was
mine, is indeed reward than which
there is none greater to strive for. /!
I have rendered any service to my
State, il / have served my people ir
