MANNINGS ANNUAL
MESSAGE WILL BE BRIEF

Deal With Broad Problems. Special
Message for Particular Subjects.
The Insurance MudGle.
Columbia, Dec. Ex-Governor Man
ming returned this morning from a
hunt with Mr.. b. M.Baruch on his cs-
tate in Georgetown County, and at
once began work on his annual mes
sage to the general assembly. lie is
gathering material for the message
and will begin debating it to his
stenographcr at the first opportunity.
The governor has intimated that his
annual message will be comparatively
brief and that it will deal only with
the broad problems facing the admin
istration. He expects to deal through
special messages With particular sub
jccts.
important matters which the GOV
crnor is expected to touch o., :" rs
communication to the lawmakers in
cludc, insurance, legislation. tighten
ing up on the prohibition law, the
highway commission act, amendments
to strengthen the state warehouse syS-
TEN, finances and education
On the question Of finances the
governor is expected TO send a special
message AMI he will probably do this
after conferences with Chairman
Christensen Of the senate finance COM
mittcc, Chairman Lilies of the house
ways and means committee, State
Treasurer Carter, Comptroller Gencr-
al Sawyer and Chairman A. w. Jones
of the state tax commission. 1t is prob
able additional sources of revenue
will be recommended by the governor.
OF all the subjects to be dealt with
by the chief executive, what he will
have to say Of insurance legislation
will probably be of the greatest in
terest. The special commissions re-
port Is now before him and he has not
as yet given any indication Of whether
commission or will make changes
He has an open mind on the subject
it Is known and is gathering all of the
available information and discarding
that which does not answer the situa-
tion and taking the best ideas from
everything and everywhere.
What Governor Manning will have
to say about the National Guard of the
state will attract attention. At the re-
cent conference of governors in Wash
ington, he was quoted as saying that
he believed the National guard was
doomed and whether he will repeat
this statement in his message and sug-
gest some other form OF citizen sol
diery is not known. The governor, like
all other patriotic citizens in South
Carolina is known to be proud Of the
record which the guard has made but
he feels that the sacrifices entailcd are
too great for the men to lay aside their
business and be sent away for months
to patrol boundary. The governor
will undoubtedly eulogZe the National
guard for it has won mcrtcd praise
The governor has noL made any
statement but it is believed that he
holds the opinion which a great many
other well informed men do, that un-
I'll the caste system is discarded from
