Maj. Gen. Taskcr II. Bliss, assistant

regret over the admiral's death, be-
cause of close association with him at

IN HIS INAUGURAL ADDRESS GOVERNOR
MANNING URGES MANY new REFORMS:
FAV0RS BIENNIAL SESSION MOVEMENT

and franchise" said Gov. Manning.
Gov. Manning urged the Legisla-
ture to keep down expenditures to
minimum consistent with efficiency
ana progress. '.',..c
The creation of commission on
economy and efficiency was urged by
Gov. Manning. The object of the
commission would be to prevent an
overlapping of work by the several
State departments. This commission
would codify the laws governing the
departments and clearly define the
duties of each. The commission would
also investigate the matter "of es-
tablishing a budget system in our
State government" A report from the
commission would be required in 1918.
For Four Year Term.
"The terms of Office of the Cover
nor and other State officials should
be for four years, and the Governor
and Lieutenant Governor not eligible
for reelection. Along with this
change l believe that the public SER
vice would be promoted by having BIZ
ennial sessions Of the Legislature, in
stead of annual sessions as now,' said
Gov. Manning. ELECTIONS every two
years keep our people in a state of
unrest" said Gov. Manning, making
a plea for longer terms and biennial
sessions Of the Legislature.
Pardons and Paroles
ain my judgment, the Governor
should have authority to grant par
dons, suspensions of sentence, paroles.
communications of sentence. rcmissions
of fines and forfeitures, only on the
recommendation Of the State Board
of Pardons; but to him should be pre-
served the right to veto such recon-
mendations. Further you might well
consider declaring the State Board of
Penal Administration to be the State
Board f Pardons," said Gov Man
ming. He asked that the State Re-
formatory for Negroes be placed un-
der the control of the trustees of the
South, Carolina Industrial School. He
urged that almshouse population be
reclassifed and the present system
abolished. District homes or hospitals
would take the place of the aims
houses. He again urged the estab-
lishment of q State institution for the
care of the feeble minded.
81 believe that the time has come
when military training should be uni
versal, and that our young men be-
tween the ages Of 10 and % should
have that training which would fit
them for service should that service
become necessary for the defense of
our State or country, and that we
should Immediately prepare to intro
duce military training in our insttu-
tions Of higher learning and in our
high schools" said Gov Manning. He
pointed out the success of the mill
tary course at the Sumter High
school.
Gov. Manning made plea for the
establishment of a nitrate fxation
plant near Columbia.
"ln conclusion, | urge upon our peo-
pie again to turn their backs on past
dissensions and bitterncss-to be a
forward looking people with their
faces turned resolutely to the future"
said Gov. Manning.
Th" hall of the House was packed
with large number Of spectators to
, hear the inaugural address.
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1917-01-17

Columbia, Jan. 16.-Important and
far-reaching governmental reforms
were urged today by Governor Man
ming in his second inaugural address
to the General Assembly of South
Carolina. The inaugural was deliv-
cred by the Governor in the hall of
the House of Representatives, before
large and representative gathering,
after he had for the second time taken
| the oath of Office as Governor of
South Carolina. The message con-
tanned about 5000 words and was
read by the Governor.
Among the matters discussed were
education, equal suffrage, finances,
economy, penal and charitable prob
lens, commission on economy and eff
| ficiency, the National Guard and a
nitrate fixation plant for South Caro-
lima.
Gov. Manning reviewed in detail
the progressive measures which have
been enacted during his first admin
| istration.
Wants Tax on Liquor Imports.
"If liquor is imported into the
State, it can impose tax on such i'm
portation. This tax would defray
the expenses of enforcement Of the
law" said the Governor at one point
in his address.
~ trust that the General Assembly
will enact such legislation as will
minimize the evils of liquor and make
possible the strict enforcement of the
law" said Gov. Manning.
"Permit me to say that, viewing
the accomplishments Of the past two
years, we should, from experience
gained, strengthen certain. of these
laws rather than devote ourselves to
new and radical legislation" said Gov.
Manning.
At another point in his address the
Governor asked for law which will
give him the right to suspend sher-
iff for neglect of duty.
Gov. Manning asked the General
Assembly to give careful attention to
the planks in the State and national
Democratic platforms bearing on wo-
mans suffrage. He did not make any
specific recommendation as to legis-
lation on this point. The State Dem
ocratic party asked that the suffrage
question be submitted to the people
for vote.
81 recommend that Section of Ar
ticle II of the constitution be amend
ed so that the constitutional three
mill tax on all of the property of the
State shall be changed from a county
tax to State tax and paid into the
State treasury. The proceeds of the
State school tax to be apportioned
among the counties on a uniform ba-
sis, such basis to be determined by
the General Assembly: This provision
would aid the weak counties and put
forward the general educational work
in the State" said Gov. Manning, dis
cussing means for improving the
States education system. He said
that the mill schools should be placed
on a parity with all other schools in
the State.
The Governor again recommended
the passage Of an inheritance tax
law.
"ln my judgment, the General AS
sembly should be invested with the
authority to provide by law for the
assessment and taxation of property

GREEN FEED FROM
SHADED GROUND
In Yards of Limited Space Soil Usually
Idle May Be Put to Work
for Chickens.

If there is a shady spot in the back
yard not suited to other garden crops,
it may be possible to grow some green
feed for the chickens on it. Oats and
field peas, before the hottest weather
comes, and millet and cowpeas later in
the summer, if sown thickly, probably
will yield cuttings of feed that will be
much relished in the small hennery.
While such practice may not be in har.
mony with the best cultural. advice.
many city jewellers with limited space
will wish to utilize all available garden
room this season, even for only small
returns.
Dense, continuous shade under old
trees and shrubbery that have drawn
heavily on soil plant food, obviously will
be OF little value for this purpose But
in many back yards ground shaded by
buildings and small trees, not wholly re-
moved from the days sun, might well be
expected to produce some green stuff for
a small flock. If the chicken pen is
large enough small sowing made in
side and protected by woven wire with
one-inch meshes stretched about two
inches above the ground may be made.
This allows the chickens to pick off the
green blades as they grow through the
netting without injuring the roots.
Another way to furnish green feed to
hens not on range is by sprouting oats in
trays or boxes. This method is used by
many poultrymen, for large and small
foeks. The oats are soaked for twelve
hours in warm water and then spread
out in layer u to IL inches deep on
a floor, or in tray or tier of fats, which
have openings or holes or a inch mesh
wire bottom covered with burlap, so
that the water drains freely. The oats
may be stirred daily and sprinkled or
allowed to sprout without stirring until
ready for feeding. They are usually fed
when the sprouts are from / to Ia
inches long, although some ponltrymen
prefer to allow the sprouts to grow 2 or
inches long before feeding. Oats need
a moist and warm atmosphere in which
to sprout quickly, so that it is neces-
ssry to furnish heat or to keep them in
a warm room during the winter, while
they may be sprouted out of doors dur
ing the rest of the year. 1t takes from
to 10 days to sprout oats, depending on
the temperature. The oats are fed, roots,
and all, at the rate of about one square |
inch, as they grow in the tray, to each
fowl.

NEW ARMY TO BE
WELL EQUIPPED
Supply Committee Is Buying
for u. S. Under the
Market
FACTORIES ARE
STANDARDIZED
Needed Will Be
Ready When Troops
Go to Camps

Washington, May 26.-It is possible
that the new national army will have iii
equipment awaiting it by the time. it be
gins to assemble at cantonment points in
September.
Options have been obtained on sup.
plies of leather by the committee on sup
plies of the advisory commission of the
Council of National Defense. They are
said to be at lower prices than the pres
emit quotations and in sufficient quantity
to assure the new army an adequate
supply.
The supply committee is completing
arrangement of an extensive system of
cooperative committees of the leading
representatives of industries which will
be called on for clothing of all kinds,
uniforms, bedding, quar1termasters' sup
plies and everything needed in the army's
subsistence departments.
Through these cooperative commit
tees, some of which have been organized
and started to work, mills and factories
throughout the country have been in.
duced to get into the market for gov
eminent contracts.
One point already passed is the adap-
tation of several great manufacturing
plants to the demand for output that
the new army will make on them.
Although officials are not explicit in
regard to munition supplies obtained and
forthcoming, it is said that the work of
supplying guns, bullets, powder and shells
for the new army has kept pace with
the great task of arranging for other
supplies.
President Wilson has personally gone
into the subject of bringing vast guam
titles of nitrates from Chilean beds for
use as fertilizer and as basis for manu-
facture of explosives. The president
wants to be certain that use of shipping
for this purpose will not interfere with
trans Atlantic transport service.
In connection with manufacture of uni
forms and other equipment, it was said
many valuable hints were given United
States officials by members of the war
commissions from abroad. Everything
he new army gets will be of the latest
,ypes and which have proved most salts
actory in the tests given by the world
var.

Not Pleased with Graham.

There is accommodating evidence that
Governor Graham is playing the political
game for all it is worth and for the
benefit of Uncle Horace" We are
not taking exceptions to this. 1t is a
work he has followed out ever since he
has been a state official, and he is but
walking in the footsteps of his predeces-
sors, and no harm is likely to come to
the state through this course of action,
but it does not harmonic with the prop
uganda of the prediction campaign or
the administration outline OF Uncle
Horace" who was put upon a pedestal of
political righteousness, patted on the
shoulder and acclaimed the peoples
champion and heralded as "Uncle Horace
he knows" Yes, "he knows" all right,
and the gag worked and landed gullible
public. 1t is now a wise policy to
strengthen his fences and the people can
rest assured that Uncle Horace he
knows" how. We are an admirer OF
Horace T. Graham but we do not believe
his political righteousness is of capaei-
ty to sink self out of sight, nor is he
any better than hundreds of other Yer
monters. He has always looked out for
his own interests and this has been es-
pecially emphasized ever since he re-
fused Percival W. Clement a peep in
side the office of state auditor. Horace
F. Graham has made a good governor,
but like officials in general he has not
made as good as he might or as the peo-
pie had a right to expect.-Isand Pond
