A decision that will be of in
terest to Montana business men
was made recently by Judge
Leslie, of Cascade county. who
held that an entry under the
/ 320-acre enlarged homestead act
is not exempt from execution.
The old homestead law, which
applies only to tracts of 100
acres. contains provision that
protects such entries, but no
such provision appears in the
enlarged homestead act.

that we are still far short Of the po-
sitiun we should occupy in the work
Of education. 1t stands to our shame
that the percentage Of illiteracy
among our citizens is so great. This
stain must be wiped out; and to do
this, we must tax ourselves literally
for the public schools, in order that
their usefulness may be increased, and
that the opportunity for education
may be given to all Of our boys and
girls. We must encourage the spirit of
self-help and every district should
first impose local tax by the vote OF
it's resident voters before receiving
state aid Yet, the growth of the pub
lie school will be determined largely
by the amount of state aid. Weak
country schools must be helped and
every community must be encouraged
,, to have at least a seven months term,
and no teacher should be required to
teach more than fifty pupils The state
cannot have an educated and efficient
citizenship unless it extends help to
weak and undeveloped districts. Any
community voting a liberal tax and
enrolling forty or fifty children, should
be assured Of adequate educational IA
cilities. 1t is the duty OF the state TO
make up deficiencies in such districts.
The right thinking people OF South
Carolina will stand for this eXpendl-
ture of public money and will indorse
the position that we cannot spend pub
lie money better than in educating
the citizen. The people realize and de-
| mand that the shame of illiteracy
must be hlotted out from us forever.

mination to place and to keep South
Carolina in the forefront among her
sister states in progress, in moral tone
and in an enlightened and educated
citizenship. I am confident that l
voice the desire of large majority Of
South Carolinians when urge our
people now to turn their backs on past
factional bitterness and dissension, to
look forward, turning their faces reso-
lutely to the future. The vision OF
people reunited must be kept before
us; a people determined to take ad-
vantage of the resources which God
has put within our grasp, to develop
these resources; to build up our waste
places; to diversity our crops and in
dustries; to educate and uplift our cit
izenship, and to that end 1 pray that
God may give to me and you wise
and understanding heart, that we may
be able to discern the evil from the
good, and that he may give us the
spirit to think, to say and to do such
things as are right. and that his bless
ings may be upon us in our efforts to
serve our state.

that they want the laws enforced, ana

GOV. SMITHS INAUGURAL
New Executive Lays Down His Leg
isIative Views.

New Executive Lays Down His Leg
isIative Views.
Hon. Charles A. Smith was duly
inaugurated governor Of South Caro-
lima on last Friday, and delivered an
address that contained a lot OF gooo'
sound sense. His creed includes
That a maximum limit on the state
tax levy be set by statute.
That tax be laid on water powers
when made available for profitable
service"
That the mill school tax be abol-
ished. because it Is an obstacle to tax
reform.
That a rural credits act be passed.
That a better system Of land title
registration be devised.
That the Stimson plan suggested In
New York be adopted, this providing
that the governor and the comptroller
general shall draft the appropriation
bill, which may be reduced or amend
ed, but may not be increased by the
general assembly.
That the cotton acreage reduction
act be not merely retained, but per-
petuated by engrafting 1t into the con-
stitution.
Address in Full.
Following Is the full text Of the ad-
dress:
Gentlemen Of the General Assem-
bly,: Called Unexpectedly to occupy,
even for so short a space Of time, the
honored position Of governor OF
great state, 1 wish to express my ap-
probation Of the honor you do me and
the kindness of your reception.
although so soon to lay aside the
newly assumed Office and having In
sufficient time within which to inaugu-
rate a distinctive policy, yet 1 beg
YOUR forbearance while I trespass
briefly upon your patience to express
to you my views upon few questions
Of statewide interest.
"The thoughtful and patriotic citi-
zen at the beginning Of this year may
well take stock and seriously consider
conditions and seek means and meth
ods to promote the public welfare. The
world, what we have heretofore desig-
mated the civilized world has been
and is stirred to it's depths as never
before. Grave problems, unknown,
unforeseen, unexpected. present them
selves. The complaisant assumption
of continued worldwide peace and
prosperity has been shattered, and the
fact is impressed forcibly upon the
minds Of men that independent gov
ernments can be destroyed in a day,
and that no nation is so strong that 1t
cannot be thrown into struggle for
it's very existence. The interests OF
nations are so interviewer that dis
aster at one spot eventually affects the
whole great system. The immense up
heaval in Europe is felt by every
South Carolinian.
A Time for Economy.
THE policy and function Of this leg
ambition, forget any lingering rem
nant of factionalism, and all that is
behind, to plan and execute measures
for the service Of all the people. This
is not time for increased taxation.
Economy of government should ever
be Democratic policy, but especially
Is this imperative now, when financial
stringency and actual need are being
felt as not for a generation before.

vidual family is planning and strug-

Contrary to the precedent set by last

A happy New Year! Ring out the chimes;
Sing songs Of merry, tuneful rhymes;
Let bands their gayest music play;
The old years darksome. chilling shades
Should flee when New Years joy pervades;
And lives that dropped with grief and fear
Should hail with hope the young New Year.

That brings our nation joys increase
And plenty to her children's lives,
While Christian love endures and thrtyes.
With wisdom at the nations helm,
Avoiding storms that might o'erwhelm,
Columbia stands the whole worlds peer
And gladly greets the young New Year
A happy New Year! God help those lands
Where grim War stalks with bloody hands
And women fair and children moan,
In anguish that is theirs alone
And Christian lands. when Jesus came
To Danish strife's inhuman shame,-
Then why the earth's fair bosom scar
With fires Of death, this young New Year?
A happy New Year! God help the world
To see Wars bloody banners furled,
And halt the hordes that scream wild notes
And belch hell fire from demon throats!
From pride and lust of power insane,
They stop at naught their ends to gain;
Lord, end this reign Of death and fear
And give them peace. this young New Year.
