F.H. Hyatt.
This is the first time I have ever
appeared before the public for pub
lie office. This is the first time have
ever had the search lights OF my
friends and foes thrown apon me. l
have hesitated to come before the
people and ask them to give me the
highest office of the State; but l come
knowing that if am elected govern
or of South Carolina, I am qualified
to give you a good business mans ad-
ministration.
AS to the question of prohibition, l
have been prohibitionist all my life,
was born that way and have lived
that way, and have advocated 1t on
ali occasions wherever the opportunity
presented itself, simply because l be-
lieve it to be the best solution OF the
Whiskey question. I believe 1t is best
for the State, not only from a moral
standpoint, but from financial stand
point as we'll. At the same time, while
we ralize that this is a very import
ant issue and one that ought to be
dealt with with the strong hand OF
the law, there are other questions OF
great Importance. l believe that this
State has reached the stage when she
ought to give special attention to
some of the following things: AS you
know, it is a conceded fact that the
State of South Carolina has made and
is making great strides along the line
of education and l am in favor OF CIV
ing the colleges Of the State liberal
support: but at the same time When
we realize the fact that only about
FIVE per cent. of the boys of this State
ever attended college, I believe that
the time has come when it is aDso-
lutely necessary 10 look after the
schools in the rural districts more
closely.
Clemson college is doing a great
work for the agricultural interest OF
the State. now let us have in the grad
ed schools an agricultural department
and teach our boys how to raise more
per acre and how to raise corn, cot
ton, peas, potatoes, etc., what to put
in the soil to produce crop. We are
then teaching them botany, chemistry,
etc.. in a practical way along with
their other studies. I believe in the
liberal support of the rural schools,
but We should be careful how We is
sue bonds and pile up debt for the
present and future generations to pay
off.
Let US pay our teachers more and
employ only the best. We can not af-
ford to do less as the boys and girls
are the chief assets OF the country
and in few years will take our
places.
One of the mos, important things,
in my Judgment, is to see that We
have an equal distribution Of taxation,
