productions and IL cur Vtr! i Mahu-
featuring interests; peace and sub
stantial prosperity have blessed us.
New textile industries have sprung
up within the past year; those we al
ready had are fourishing, and We are
told that the record Of this industry
in South Carolina during the past year
mas attracted the attention of investors
and business circles in the North not
only on account of its material devel-
opment, but also On account Of the
fine showing made in health and gen
eral condition of the employees. We
are told by the department or agricul-
ture that we have raised nearly 2,000,-
600 more bushels Of corn this year
than ever before in the history of the
State, and that the cotton crop, while
smaller than that of the year before,
will undoubtedly put more money in
the pockets of the farmers than did
that exceptionally large yield; that in
the manufacturing activities of the
State there has been a n. .gnificent IN
crease during the past year, both i'll
capital invested and in the value OF
manufactured product. In every phase
of South Cardinals economic life, the
year 1912 will rank as the very best
year of all that have gone before, and
in the higher activities of the life Of
our people there has been the same
gratifying progress.
Your attention is respectfully invit-
/ ed to the reports of the different de-
partments and institutions of the
State, which will be submitted to you,
giving in detail these facts which 1
have attempted only briefly to touch
upon in the way of the barest sum
mary.
You come to your deliberations, gen.
tlemen, with this fine record of your
State behind you. There has been no
time in South Carolina in recent years
when constructive statesmanFhip, in
the interest of the peace and prosper
ity of all the people of our common
wealth, could be more productive or
more genuinely fruitful. South Caro-
lima today stands face to face with a
| wonderful future; there stretches. out
before her field of activity as inVit-
ing as it is limitless. You may, gen
tlemen, by wise policies, coming from
minds and hearts consecrated to the
peoples service, give impetus to this
magnificent advancement. Yours is
high and responsible position; you
have been delegated to make the laws
for people whose heritage is rich in
high purpose and in achievement, and
whose eyes are turned to a morning
of brilliant promise.
It is my earnest prayer tlat wise
counsels may guide you; and that your
session may take it's place in South
Cardinals history as one in which ev-
cry purpose and vote was controlled
by consideration only for the best in
terests of all the people of our State.
God grant that this may be true.
Very respectfully,
Cole. L. Blease,
Governor.

Editors and Reporters.

I respectfully eccmmend that you
pass an act making it misdemeanor
for any newspaper editor, reporter,
or correspondent to promulgate, make
or publish false report of the speech
of any person who is candidate TOT
any county, State or national ONCE
7 make this recommendation because
it is getting to be common occur
renee for a newspaper reporter to fol-
low a state campaign. OF to attend
meeting somewhere, and make laise
renort of the speech of a candidate by
reporting Just enough of his remarks
to give the false impression desired,
or by omitting just enough to create
the false impression; and then, Wnen
tho candidate sends in a correction
giving the speech as it was, the editor
sits in his sanctum and says tnac
nevsnaner courtesy forbids him from
publishing it because its publication
NAV reflect upon a brother editor or
brother reporter. If you will make II
a misdemeanor punishable by impr1s-
onr4nt without the alternative of
fine for any reporter, editor or CORE
spondent to treat man in this man
ner, you will put a stop to much OF
the attempted defilement of reputation,
much of the vileness that is car
ried on through the newspapers in our
South Carolina campaigns.
further recommend that you pass
an act to the effect that when any
newspaper publishes statement IN
regard to any person that is injurious
that when that person sends to the
oaper a correction of said report, the
editor or manager of the paper be re-
ouired to publish said correction IN
the same column of the same page
and with as large headlines as the
original article appeared wherein the
nerson was misquoted or misrepre-
sented.
Now, gentlemen, I believe no man
has suffered more from newspaper at
tacks and newspaper unfairness than
I have. l am proud to say l can SUI
fer from this no longer. The people
know that what they see in the news
naners about me they can not believe
until they see it over my own sigma
ture. My private life and my, puollc
acts have been so continuously talsl-
fed by the press of South Carolina IN
such malicious and cowardly man
ner. that the people of my State know
such attacks are entitled to no cred
ence whatever, and the people have
Droclaimed them cowardly and ma
Tcious falsehoods by re-electing me
governor in the face of the most fear
full TRADE Of vituperation, falsehooo
and abuse ever heaped upon one man
in one, or even in many, campaigns.
/ can NO longer be affected by it, one
way or the other; but others are to
fellow me, and are they to be made
suffer as I have been made suffer? It
may have been in the past, or it may
be in the future, the fate Of some OF
y6u to have wilful and malicious
misrepresentation of you or your re-
marks prominently displayed in a
newspaper, and the correction, il pub
hshed at all, placed under miniature
headlines On an inside page where
nobody will ever see it. Is that fair?
Is It not matter which ought to be
renedied by law?
Gentlemen, you have the right and
the power to apply the remedy in mat
ters of this kind, and urge yon, cara
estly, TO do 30.

all-important question.
Why should the judges be above
the people? They, too, are of the peo-
pie; they are human beings; they are
subject to the same temptations, the
same passions and the same desires
as other men are And why is it that
our judges are not reverenced today
as they once were? | recall when
Joseph B. KershaW, William H. Wal
lace, A. P. Aldrich, Thomas B. Fraser,
the elder, and men Of that calibre came
to our town in the years gone by, the
old men and the young men, as the
Judge would walk across the square,
would raise their hats as they said,
Good morning." or Good evening,
Judge" Sons times you would see an
old fellow 60 up with tears in his eyes
to one Of these men, to say, "HcWdy,
General''-some old soldier who had
fought under him in the face OF the
cannon-and you could see the intense
love and devotion the whole people
had for their judges. IS it so today?
If not, why not?
1t may be argued that you will get
better Judges bv lettiag the legislature
elect. Well, gentlemen, will not eX-
prs: myself upon this might be
called a partisan-but refer you to
the list of judges and to the decisions.
of our coruts, and let you pass upon
that for yourselves. You would have
to raise the salaries, if you want i'm
provement in the judiciary, and you
should raise the salaries Of judges, be-
cause almost any lawyer, even practic-
ing in a small county seat can make
as much money as the salary you pay
one of your circuit or supreme court
judges. But l have always heard it
said that lawyers fees are paid by the
ability the lawyers display.
This is a living issue, gentlemen; it
is one for you to meet; and l beg you
you to give the people an opportunity
to pass upon it for themselves, and to
say whether they want to elect their
Judges or not You can only pass an
act submitting the constitutional
amendment to the people, and if they
do not want it they can vote it down.
But I guarantee you, if you submit it
to them, that instead Of two-thirds
of the people voting to take this pow
er into their hands, the vote for it will
be well-nigh unanimous. And be-
lieve that some of our present supreme
court and circuit judges would wei
come the change, because they would
not fear to face the people of their
State, standing upon any decision they
have made in any case, knowing their
decisions have been intelligent and
made from an honest heart; and they
are willing to abide by any decisio.i the
people may make.

Great Western Play Coming

Coming to the New Opera House
Wednesday, Nov. IL, with Miss
Pearle Youngs and an excellent
company of artists in the great
Western play, ga Western Girl, .
with concert band and orchestra.
The play is built distinctly on
comedy lines and there is almost
continuous laughter from beginning
to end. 1t is a well-written comedy,
with an interesting plot, and the
story told is happy blending of
sunshine and shadows. During the
action of the play many pleasing
specialties are introduced and the
little details in the stage settings
are so perfect that the audience
gradually enters into the spirit of
the situation and forgets the thea
tire. The piece is handsomely stag
ed with scenery all new and bright.

TEACHERS IN SESSION.
Which Are Being Held In
The Auditorium.

The sessions of the Dorchester
County Teachers Institute, which
are being held at the Auditorium,
are being more largely attended
than any similar sessions that have
ever been held. Not only is the
attendance larger, but the teach
ers are staying through the entire
sessions; there have been times
in the past when many of the teach
ers merely answered roll call and
then slipped out.
Yesterday evening a reception
was held at the Seminary, the rooms
having been decorated with the
school colors and otherwise made
particularly attractive.
The teachers were received by
superintendent and Mrs. Spaid,
School Commissioner and Mrs. D.B.

of the School Board; Prof. James
B. Noble, principal of the High
School, and Asst. Supt. Joseph B.

Girl Student ChOkes Negro and
Kicks Him Out of Room.

After entering several rooms and
almost frightening to death students
in the Fairc1oth Dormitory at Mere
dith College a big hurley negro was
put to route by one young lady, who,
it is said, choked the negro and kick
ed him out of her room. The kick
proved of sufficient force to cause
him to depart for parts unknown.
According to the police, the negro,
who they think is a half-witted one
living in Watson field, in the east
ern part of the city, entered the
Faircloth building early Saturday
night probably for the purpose of
robbery. 1t is said that several girls
were greatly frightened and driven
from their rooms. However, when
the negro entered one of the rooms
he was surprised by the young stu
dent occupant and soon had good
cause to make hurried exit His de-
parture from the building was in
such manner as to prevent his cap
ture. He has not been seen since

Corporations Over-Persuaded the
Committee.

The joint Senate and House Com
mittees on Corporations and Corpo-
ration Commission Monday after
noon, by a large majority, reported
unfavorbaly the bills by Representa-
tive Grier and Senator Jones to place
all water power, electric light, electric
power, and gas plants, and telephone
lines under the control of the Corpo-
ration Commission. These bills, a
substitute for Representative Kel-
lums bill, had some changes from
the Kellum bill, in that 1t placed
municipal light, power, and water
works plants in control of the Corpo-
ration Commission. There was a
delegation of representatives of tele-
phone companies from all over the
State before the committee to oppose
those sections compelling all compa-
MES to have physical connection with
each other.
The committee then went into ex-
ecutive session, and by large major
ity agreed to report the substitute
bill adversely.
After adjournment of the joint
committee, the House committee
held a short session at which Rep
resentative Kellum again brought up
his original bill to place all water
power, electric light and gas plants
under control of the Corporation
Commission.
Mr. Justice offered amendments to
place telephone lines under control
of the Commission and to give the
Commission power to require physi-
cal Connection of all telephone lines
or exchanges. The bill thus amend
ed was reported to the House.

Raleigh Bar Wants Thirty Weeks OF
Court.

The Raleigh bar at meeting held
a few days ago decided to ask the
Legislature to give Wake County thir-
tv weeks of court under the new re-
districting plans, instead of fifteen, as
is now the case. Mecklenburg and
Buncombe have petitioned to have
those counties made separate dis
tricts, and there was some talk or
asking that the. same consideration
be shown Wake, though it is probable
that neither Mecklenburg nor Bun
combe will get the single districts.
The Wake County lawyers want more
terms of court, and will pull for as
many as they can get.
