more than one convicted criminal a
day released upon society
In my campaign l had promised the
people of South Carolina to correct
these evils. put my hand on the sit
uation, relentlessly ard without dis
elimination. Today the situation is
changed; good citizens respect and
criminals fear the law, and there is
no longer any one community that can
be held up as an example of lawless-
ness. Grand juries, from the force OF
public opinion, now bring in true bills,
and petty juries bring in verdicts OF
guilty where guilt exists. Certain 10,
cal authorities which formerly flag
raptly violated the law and faithfully
and efficiently support the law. Pub,
lie sentiment is healthy, and this pub,
lie spirit has strengthened our courts
and the hands of officers of the law.
In the enforcement of the prohibi,
ton laws the work of the State con
stabulary must be given recognition.
The constabulary has taken the initia-
tive in keeping down violations, and
in rigid enforcement, and while the
cooperation of county. and municipal
law officers has been given, am con-
vinced that without the State constab-
ulary violations of the liquor laws
would again multiply. ! consider the
constabulary essential to enforcement
of the prohibition law.
Throughout the State I advocated
local option compulsory school attend
ance. The opposition to compulsory
attendance was vigorous. I believed
then that such a law would be the
ouening wedge for a Statewide COM
pulsory attendance law, and public
sentiment would demand increasing
school facilities until such law
would become necessity. The legis-
lature enacted the local option com
pulsory attendance law, and it has
been put into operation in two hundred
and thirty, or one-eighth of the school
districts of the State. 1t has been
demonstrated that it is practicable and
workable. It has therefore achieved
it's purpose, and has b;azed the way for
an expansion of that principle, so that
today there is an insistent and strong
demand for a Statewide compulsory
law
A distinct advance has been made
in legislation affecting education.
Placing the insurance of school hous-
es under the sinking fund commission
has meant a great saving. Provision
for a supervisor of mill schools has
proven of distinct benefit There has
been large growth in the number of
school districts which have levied To-
cal taxes, and today eight-ninth, or one

Gentlemen of the General Assembly:
Under the constitution it is my
privilege and duty to submit to you my
annual message. We are more inter
ested in the future than in the past,
but. in view of the fact that am now
nearing the close of my second term,
7 trust you will pardon rae for making
partial review of the progress OF the
past four years. To note what has
been accomplished will aid and en-
courage US with respect to the future.
I desire at the outset to acknowledge
the cooperation and assistance of the
legislature, the pulpit. the. press. and
all other agencies that have contrlbut-
ed to these results. have earnestly
striven to select men solely with a
view to their character, fitness and
efficiency, and it is a source of pride
to me that the men appointed to serve
on the different boards and commits
sions have performed the work so eff
ciently and thoroughly.
When l assumed the Office of COVER
nor four years ago, you will recall the
fact that the party rules and the laws
governing primary elections were
loose. and were conspicuous by lack
of safeguards which would guarantee
to every man qualified to vote the
the right to vote once, but only once,
in an election Now the party rules
have been strengthened, and the laws
governing primary elections have been
tightened AS far back as 1895 in
troduced in the legislature bill to
provide the Australian ballot system.
The Australian ballot system has now
been enacted into law, and has been
found safeguard and guaranty for
the free and untrammeled expression
of the popular will.
Four years ago the law was a by
word and reproach. The verdicts of
juries and the sentences of the courts
had been ruthlessly set aside; bar
rooms were in operation in violation
of the law; gambling was openly prac-
ticed, and the race track crowd had
free swing to operate as they pleased.
Other lawless and immoral acts were
committed without concealment, and
without punishment. Those conditions
had so much encouragement that they
were regarded as almost irremediable.
Criminals claimed vested interest in
crime, and regarded themselves as Sc
cure from punishment. Violations of
law were committed with the certain
knowledge that pardons would be
forthcoming. During the four year Pc
riod preceding the beginning of my
first administration one thousand sew
en- hundred and eight pardons and
paroles were granted, an average of

FOUR MILLION DOLLARS
ASKED OF LEGISLATURE
Departments of Government Ask This
Year for More Than Half Million
Dollars Over Last Year.

Columbia. Jan. 1.-THE various de-
partment of the State government are
asking the general assembly, which
convenes on Tuesday for appropria-
tions aggregating nearly S4,000,000, the
exact figures being 27,153.79. If all
these appropriations should be granted
which is not at all likely, although it
is not impossible that others may be
granted which would make such total
the increase in the appropriation bill
would be something over half million
dollars. The appropriation bill the
past year carried s3,36o,s75.22.
If all the appropriations asked for
should be granted, levy of nine and
one-half mills would be required, not
withstanding the enormous increase
during the past year in taxable values.
In many cases, however. estimates are
somewhat overdrawn. and it has been
the custom among some in South Caro-
-
increases, for really more than what
they expect to receive. For instance,
had all the appropriations asked for by
the various departments Of the State
government last year been granted, a
levy of nine and three-fourths mills. ap-
proximately, would have been required,
whereas Comptroller General Osborne,
under the flexible clause of the last ap-
propriation bill. was able to reduce the
levy to eight and one-fourth mills
which, even at that, was enormously
high. as compared with past years. OF
course, the comptroller generals duties
are merely clerical in that respect.
When the legislature makes appropria-
tions it has to raise the revenue to take
care of them.
The biggest increase asked for this
year is by the State superintendent or
education for the public schools. For
this purpose he wants an appropriation
of 792, 500, as against s504,104 last year,
or an increase of s2S3,795. The adju-
tant generals Office is asking for an in
crease of more than $4,000, to take
care of the National Guard-if there
should be such organization-and other
matters following the part the State
must take again upon herself in mill
tary affairs following the war.
The health department is asking for
an increase of $4,000, in view of the
epidemic and other situations.
The State hospital for the insane is
asking for an increase in appropriation
of nearly $4,000, which would make its
total s695, ,40243
The Public Service of Clemson Col
lege wants an increase of $4,000.
The Medical College of Charleston is
asking for an increase of $4,000.
The South Carolina Industrial School
at Florence wants $4,000 increase !;
the negro college at Orangeburg wants
$4,000 more; the University of South
Carolina wants an increase of s12,500,
and Winthrop wants to jump up by
s661,5O0 more.
These are the biggest items of in
crease.
The estimates as compiled by the
comptroller general are simply in ac-

NATIONAL BANK ACQUIRES
ADJOINING LOT

One by one the old landmarks of
ante-bellum days are passing and
with the many changes that are being
wrought new world and new town
are to be built. This is a great trans
ition period in which we are living.
In the days that are gone when it
was our purpose to be great lawyer
in Newberry we always had desire
to have the offices in those days oc-
cupied by the late Major Lambert j.
Jones and recently the property OF
Hon. Geo. S. Mower aid occupied by
his son DR.. Frank Mower as doc
tors office. In fact at one time for
short period we did occupy the office
upstairs now used by Mr.. l.. W.
Jones as our law office, but alas, the
clients were few and we had to do
something else and our dreams never
came true.
Some time ago, before the other two
banks had projected their new build
ing plans, we heard President B. c.
Matthews of the National bank talk
about securing the lot of these offices
for the charging of the National bank
building, and it was his idea as soon
as the war was over to buy these Of
fices for the National bank. 1t is no
new idea with him, but simply carry
ing oct plans he has had in mind for
some time. The Herald and News is
pleased to note that he has begun the
carrying out of the plans for an en-
larged building for the growing bust
(ness of the National bank. The Of
| fees have been purchased from Mt.
Mower and we suppose some time IN
the near future the building OF the
bank will be erected.
There have been many real estate
changes and deals in Newberry quite
recently. Mr.. John G.. Hipp has sold
his farm near Newberry to the Eleaz-
ers we understand for something
around S25,0C0 and Mr.. John K. Aull
has sold his house and lot in Bound
ary street to Mr.. R. G.. Boyleston and
from The Observer we notice that Mr..
w. R. Reid has sold some of his
farm lands. We quote from The o.
server as to this deal:
Mr.. w. R. Reid has sold his resi-
dence and lot at No. 1909 Nance street
to MIR. Newton Hogg, possession to be
given at an early date. Mr.. Reid Will
buy or build soon.
Mr.. Reid has also sold his Banks
Dlan.asi5i. five I.:es this side OF
Chappslls. The buyer is Yr 3
Kreps Jones. Mr.. Jones gives his
two stores Nos. 900 and 902 Main
street and the stock of goods in them,
and also a cottage in rear OF them, IN
part payment.
