Prior investigation dis closed the fact that the ammunition was tempered with in such manner as to cause premature explosion in the breach of the gun.

In this connection I cannot too
strongly emphasize the completion Of
the cattle tick eradication which has
been carried on SO thoroughly and
rapidly by the State and the Federal
government. You understand this
matter and l need say no more than
that it will be necessary for the State
to appropriate 100000 for the work
this year, in order for US to secrr-e
a continuance Of Federal aid; and It
is hoped that in two more years this
work can be completed, our State
cleared Of this hindrance to cattle
raising, and thus enable US to meet
the dangers which are Immediately
before US.

repeat my recommendation Of last
year and ask that you make the nee
cessary appropriation to continue the
work that Is being done in the Agrl-
cultural Extension Department Of
Clemson College under the Lever Ac-.
so that We can obtain the increased
amount of money that will come 10
us from the Federal appropriation un-
der the terms of this act, provided
We do our part.
State Warehouse System.
I respectfully refer you to recon-

State Warehouse System. In which /

and to throw around 1t every safe

after as collateral to loans in any
of the money centers and money mar

"The liability of the State should BE-
clearly defined. It is not necessary
for me to suggest, specific amend
ments to the act. 1t is we'll to bear
in mind that our chief source Of bor-
rowed money is to be had through
the Federal Reserve Bank. The re-

Carolina Is particularly fortunate in
securing the location of this bank in
Columbia Therefore, 1t will be UNI
necessary for the State to adopt such
a law in addition to the Federal Law.
The action Of the Federal government
in enacting the Federal Land Loan
! Bank is particularly opportune al
, this time 1t will furnish the means
by which those who are tenants may
buy their homes; or those who OWN
their land can secure funds to i'm

selves to system Of diversified
farming, made imperative by reason
Of the approach Of the boil weevil.
1t IS important, however, in view OF
the high rates of interest which may
small farmers now have to pay for
credit, that the State should provide
a short term rural credits law, and
I recommend the enactment Of such
legislation.
Boil Weevil.
! have called your attention to the
necessity for agricultural education
in the common schools. This need
is emphasized by the appearance at
our very doors of the boil weevil No
way of checking or destroying Il
has been discovered. Next year will
see this pest within our State. It
is the destroyer Of our chief money
crop-cotton when once the boil
weevil reaches US it will be a perma-
nent factor in agriculture, and will
produce heavy financial and agricul-
tural loss.
Realizing this danger, Clemson COL
lege appointed commission, N
which I was chairman, to visit our
sister States that have suffered from
the ravages of this destructive pes,
and to study the plans and methods
of those States in dealing with this
condition. The disaster which ac-
companies the boil weevil will apply
to farmers, bankers, merchants and
professional men and all classes OF
our people. That commission, co.
operating with the Federal govern
ment, with Clemson College, our State
Agricultural Department and every
other available agency, is now doing
effective work in leading our farmers
and business men to prepare for this
disaster. The diversifcation of crops.

Prohibition.
At the last session Of the legisla-
ture l asked you to make adequate
provision for the pay Of special con-
stables wherever and whenever needSl
to enforce the prohibition laws of the
State. I repeat that the number of
deputies now provided for by law
will not be sufficient to enable sher-
ifs, magistrates and other local an
thorities to prevent the illicit sale Of
liquor. Besides the inadequacy OF
the number Of officers allowed under
the existing law, these officers are not
sufficiently responsible to the COVER
nor for their acts. To remedy immed-
lately this defect, the governor should
be authorized to appoint constables
with State wide authority to enforce
the prohibition laws and all other
laws when necessary. The prohibi-
ton law should, in my judgment, be
amended in many particulars. Ex-
perience has shown the weak and de-
fective points in the enforcement of
the present law. 1t is my firm be-
lief that your honorable body will
take sane and conservative view OF
the matter. The simple enactment OF
law, however ideal in it's provis-
ions, will not accomplish the results
aimed at. The law itself should COM
mand the respect and compliance
with it of the public.
Our purpose is to minimize the
evils Of liouor. We need law that

so far as our participation in guar
antees of future peace are concern

While the United States would
have no voice in what those serms
might be, the President said, it
would have voice in determining
whether they should be made lasting
by guarantee of universal covenant.
''No covenant of cooperative
peace" he said, "that does not in

consistent with their political faith
and with the practical convictions

Holds Out Warning.
From this utterance all the Pres
ident's hearers drew the common
conclusion that he was holding out
to the old world if it would COM
mand the potent influence of the

settlement of the war must involve
concession and sacrifice, equality of

Some of the senator's who dis
agreed with the President openly re-
ferred to this portion of his address
as "as an attempt to parcel out
Europe" and an interference in the
affai irs of the Eastern hemisphere.
Nevertheless, the President went
exhaustively into that phase of his
proposal, saying 'the world can be
at peace only if life is stable and

"The present war must first be

to just fegard for the opinion of
mankind to say that so far as ou.
participation in guarantees of future

deal of difference in what way and
upon what terms it is ended. The
it to an end must embody terms
which will create a peace that IS
worth guaranteeing and preserving
peace that viii win the approval Of
mankind, not merely a peace that
will serve the several interests and
immediate aims of the nations en-
gagged. We shall have no voice in
determining what those terms shall
be, but we shall, feel sure, have a
voice in determining whether they
shall be made lasting or not by the
guarantees of universal covenant;

take that for granted.
81 have sought this opportunity
to address you because / thought
that l owed it to yor, as the council
associated with me in the final de-
termination of our international OBJ
legations, to disclose to you without
reserve, the thought and purpose
that have been taken form in my
mind in regard to the duty of our
government in these days to come
when it will be necessary to lay
afresh and upon a new plan the
foundation of peace among the ma
tions.
The Opportunity.
"1t is inconceivable that the peo-
pie of the United States should play
no part in that great enterprise. To
take part in such a service will be
the opportunity for which they have
sought to prepare themselves by the
very principles and purposes of their
polity and the approved practices of
their government ever since the days
when they>set up new nation in the
high and honorable hope that it
might in all that it was and did,
show mankind the way to liberty.
They cannot in honor withhold the
service to which they are now about
to be challenged. They do not wish
to withhold it. But they owe it to
themselves and to the other nations
of the world to state the conditions
under which they feel free to rem
der it.
THAT service is nothing less than
this: To add their authority and
their power to the authority and
force of other nations to guarantee
peace and justice throughout the
world. Such a settlement cannot
now be postponed. It is right that
before it comes this government
should frankly formulate the condi-
tons upon which it would feel justi-
fed in asking our people to approve
its formal and solemn adherence to
a league for peace. I am here to
attempt to state those conditions.
