inaugural Exercises Tuesday
Characterized BY Demo-
cratic Simplicity.
HE SPEAKS OF EDUCATION
Stands for Administration of All
Laws of the State in Spirit of
Their Enactment and in Ac-
cord With Constitution.

Columbia, S. c., Jan. 23.-At four
minutes after l o'clock Tuesday af
ternoon Robert A. Cooper, of Lau
rens. succeeded Richard I. Manning
OF Sumter. as governor OF South
Carolina.
In conformity with Governor

cises were characterized by demo-
cratic simplicity. The oath Of office
was administered by his lifelong
friend and former fellow towns
man, Associate Justice r. G. Watts,
of the supreme court of South Caro-
lima, and the prayer was offered by
his pastor, Rev. A. H. Templeman
d. d., OF Laurens.
Following the administering of
the oath of office Governor Cooper
delivered his inaugural address,
which vas generally commended as
mendations and conducive to a spirit
OF political harmony and general CO.
operation Of endeavor among all the
people of the state The keynote of
the addreyl was educational advance
ment and he admir- istration of all
the laws of he state in the spirit Of
their enactment and in accord with
the intent OF the constitution and
the statutes.
He said that he would deal with
the legislative department with per-
feet candor, and il would find him
as ready to receive as to offer sug-
Cestions. He said that the program
which he outlined would entail addi-
tional appropriations. and that his
educational program would probably
call for the largest amount ever eX-
pended in one year for the public
schools, but that when the taxpayers
received adequate returns upon their
investment. and the future citizen
ship OF the state was at stake, that
II was matter Of largest publ
duty, as we'll as OF economy
Governor Cooper spoke for near
ly an hour and was literally ap-
plauded by an assemblage which re-
presented every walk of life in South
Carolina and every section of tn
state
In beginning his address he refer
rcd TO the righteous ending of the
war, and said that no legislature
which had ever assembled in this
state was confronted with greater
opportunities or graver responsibili-
ties than those which face us today.
He recommended an act providing G
for minimum school term Of seven
months and statewide compulsory
school attendance law OF all chill
dren between the ages OF eight and
IA years during the minimum
school term. Adequate pay for
teachers and school officials was
stressed in this connection
He outlined at some length his
position upon the question OF taxa
ton, recommending an executive
budget similar to that in force In
Virginia, the total amount to he ap-
portioned to the various counties ac-
cording TO taxable wealth.
The inaugural exercises departed
from the usual procedure, in tina
they were held on the front port-cu
OF the state capitol In previous
years the eovernors-elect took oath
OF office before the general assembly
in the hall of the house OF represen-
tatives
