Education. .. -. s-.
1t is gratifying to know the progress
we are making in education; 1t is
even more gratifying to realize that
our people are aroused to its para
mount Importance; that they are de-
termined that the children of our state
shall be educated. This Is mani
tested in the spirit of self-help, and
each year sees substantial increase
in the number of school districts that
tax themselves for school purposes.
Our institutions of higher learn
ing have shown steady growth and
are doing splendid work. We must
provide literally for their support so
that their growth and development
can be maintained. But the fact
stares us in the face that we are In
period of general business depres-
sion and we must jealousy consider
every item of expenditure, to save the
people from unnecessary burden. /
suggest, therefore, that, at this time
we should not undertake any. en-
largement of these plants or any un.
necessary expenses. .

are making in educational facilities

Mr.. President, Mr.. Speaker and Gen

Mr.. President, Mr.. Speaker and Cen
tlemen of the General Assembly:
In assuming the duties of governor
I am mindful of the responsibilities of
the position. I invoke Divine guild
ance and earnestly pray that wisdom,
courage and strength may be given
me to see clearly and to do justly in
all that may come to me as duty.
- Under our form of government we
have. the executive, legislative and ju-
dicial branches each separate and
distinct from the other, and each a
check on the other. ...
The governor Of the state Is at the
head of the executive branch. 1t Is
his duty to enforce the laws as they
stand on the statute boks. 1t is not
his prerogative to decide whether a
law is wise, or best suited to COM
munity, but he is to see to it that the
law is obeyed. ... ..~-
s.. have faith in our people; I believe
that they want the laws enforced, and
their conscience is awakened on this
subject. The watchword of my cam
paign last summer was the enforce
ment of the law. now declare afresh
my purpose to carry out in good faith,
this pledge I believe in home rule
local self-goyernment, and I expect
every one who Is charged with en-
forcement Of law to do. his duty. My

desire is that In each community the
laws shall be enforced by the local
authorities. take this, the very first
occasion, to say to these authorities
that ] stand ready and eager to co, .
operate with them in this work, and
that they may be assured Of MY aid
with every available lawful means to
attain this object. Let me add another
word, not as a : threat, but as a
warming; If. in any community the
lawful authorities fail to- enforce the
laws, It will. then be my duty to see
that the, laws are obeyed. This in
tend to do. ,..h
The constitution provides that the
governor may make such recon-
, mendation to- THE general assembly
as, In his Judgment, are good and
proper. .ls, l.,
The time has come when we have
: to meet new conditions; we are living
In time Of change and progress. This
condition gives US new problems to
solve-nem difficulties to meet. We
are. to be congratulated in having at
the head Of the natiok man Of great
discernment,. courage and ability,
who is dealing with national questions

hope that we will seek inspiration
from that example to deal with

Primary Election Law.
! s In my Judgment, the people Of this
state, regardless of party, owe debt
Of gratitude to the last state conven-
tion Of the Democratic party for
adopting rules and regulations govern
ing the primary elections. 1t is due
, to the members of that convention to
say that the apprehensions Of those
who opposed personal enrolment
were not justified, and that personal
enrolment, together with the publicity
given to the rolls of the clubs, saved
us from irregularities. and charges
OF fraud. So far as I know, the last
primary election was one in which the
will of the people was honestly ex-
pressed by their ballots, and these
we're fairly counted. recommend,
therefore, that your honorable body
shall (enact into law for primary elec-
tiona such provisions as controlled
the last Democratic primary election,
in order that. in all primary elections,
each and every man entitled by law
to vote, shall have the right and op-

come to us, we must frankly admit
that we are still far short of the, po-
sition we should occupy in the work
of education. It stands to. our shame
that the percentage Of illiteracy
's..,ong our citizens is SO great. This
stain must -'ber 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 educa-
ton may be given to" all Of our boys
and girls. We must encourage the
spirit of selfhelp and every dis
trict should first impose. a local tax
by the vote of its resident voters be-
fore receiving state aid. Yet, the
growth Of the public schols 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. Xhe state cannot
have an educated and efficient citizen
ship unless it extends help to weak
and undeveloped districts. Any com
munity voting liberal tax and en-
rolling forty or fifty children, should
be assured of adequate educational
facilities. It is the duty Of the state
to make up deficiencies In such dis
tricts. The right-thinking people of
South Carolina will stand for this ex-
penditure of public money and will
indorse the position that we cannot
spend public money better than in
educating the, citizen: The people real
ize and demand that the shame Of IL.
literacy must be blotted out from US
forever.
Mill Town Schools.
The problem Of public schools In
manufacturing centres and mill
towns demands attention and study.
The state cannot longer overlook the
needs of children in such communi-
ties and should encourage the spirit
of self-help and public responsibility
that will bring substantial and mark
ed results in public education, civic
growth and community cooperation
and development. I recommend that
the state department of education be
given such additional help in its
forces, that will enable it to do in
mill schools what has been done 80
effectively in high schools and rural
schools. l.

lima has filed my breast, To serve my

of her resources and in the character Of
her citizenship, appeal to all citizens
to join me in the determination to place
and to keep South Carolina in the fore
front anorg her sister states In progress!
in moral tone, and In an enlightened and
educated citizenship. I am confident that
I voice the desire yof a. large majority
Of South Carolinians. when d! urge our
people now to turn their packs on past
factional bitterness and dissension, to
look forward, turning their facet reso-
lutely to the future. The vision o. a peo-
Die reunited must be kept before us; a
people determined to take advantage Of
the resources which God hab put within
our grasp to devblop these resources;
to build up our waste places; to diversity
our crops and induytries; to educate and
uplife cur citizenship, and to that end
pray that God may give to me AMI you q
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 thinss as
are right. and that His blessing may. b

the necessity of repeated examina-
tiens Of title. This Is a necessary
step before we can provide system

deem these measures important, If
properly planned and safe-guarded, IN
order to increase the number of home
owners in the country and towns, and
to furnish means for improvement of

In the country. Ownership of home
means permanency Of tenure;' per-
manency OF tenure means improve
ment of conditions of life and sur
roundings. II every farmer owned his
place and lived upon it the problems
of rural life would automatically solve
themselves; isolation removed, homes
would be more comfortable; there
would be better churches, better
schools, better roads, and community
life more attractive, realize that
this may be classed as progressive leg
