SOLICITOR COOPER TELLS PLATFORM Discusses On Matters of Public Concern and States Position On Them Lauvons, May -28.-.Special. Solicitor F. A. Cooper, cn? ot tho candidate!} for governor in the d?mo cratie primary thlr. Bummer wus asked today if he ?.rared to make nny publie ?talement ?it lhlc time with reference to lils eundiducy. He said: "The people of the state seem to ex pect that each candidate Hhall give out his .plat ?omi. I wish to say in the outset that I sincerely trust that thc campal rm on which we are about to enter may be free from factionalism ?cd pui tiran Strife, and that each can didate muy be measured by the stand ard of hit fitness for public service. There ure too many questions of viGtl i in pu-"tai; . <. to the people of this state, which r.bould be discussed in the cam pelgu for us to devote our time to a vrauglc over factional differences. I Tm dimply stating a sel* ?vMont proposition when I say. that the mo>>t tm portant question before our people today ls the education..of the white children of the stated-providing the opportunity for every white child in tli?* state to secure the rudiments of an education, fitting bim or her for the duliea of .life. We should continue to raise the standard of - nur common '.ch?olf until they each provide an ed ucation equal tb that now afforded by our best graded and. high schools. It ls a sad commentary ob our aiate,' but It ls. novcrlhclesr, true, so I am in formed that wo could not nryjmmo dtttd in our schools the white children of the state. I beltcvethe state should at once provide ample facilities;, for the education of the chi ld rca, ?md then we will bc in a position td-enact and enforce., a f.onrpulsory school attehd ence law. It would be useless to ?t^ tempt to compel the attendance of all children of school age when we are wi.bout' facilillos to accommodate thom. Compulsory-education la well in ita why but fi-et let the state ?give t he people the opportunity and provide thc facilities sad then the compulsion part of it. A majority cit the children of this state only receive such educa tion aa our common schools afford and they rhould he the very best in our power td give them. Ai'cnt ion i bauld be given to our present system of assessing property for taxation. ' It ls impossible to go fully into thia question in a short statement cf this' kind, but I believe that some plan can and ought to be devised by which we can approximate ly secure eqnalltyin our assessments'. It ls conceded on every hand that there is no more . important matter than the improvement of our public , highways. The farmer's transports: j lion tax ls ono of bia chief difficulties. I Tho building of good roads will not only enhance tho value of farm prop erty, and add to the comforts and con veniences of farm life, hut will In crease thc prosperity of the nation along all lines: In this connection, think that-Clemson College, whi?h is or ought to bc the source of our agri cultural training, should establish and opt rate demonstration farm schools in every county in the state. In this way, the average farmer could im prove hie method of farming and also tako advantage of the many economies in thc preparation of soil, use of fer tilizers, eto. Cletnaod is doing a great work but its benefits can be further extended along the lines ? have sug gested. I hope that the national gov ernment will, with as litle delay as possible, enact a rural credit law so that, our farmers, many of whom do not now own their farms, may become " homo owners. .These; and many oth er matters which look to- our material prosperity, ought to and will be con sidered, The chief function of the governor - ot the State is to look after the en forcement of fiM law. If elected governor, it ?hall be my controlling purpose, without fear or favor, to ?ee that the laws are duly enforced, not in some sections ot the state, but from thc mountains to the sea; not in a spirit of harshness and vindictiveness, ?ut in mercy* Thia being the chief uty df the governor, it should bo the paramount issue in the campaign for thc Selootioh ot a governor." Mr. Cooper , today flied his ple?.?e with the state chairman and sent his au3er.srnent to the treasurer of the state committee. Unless he is de layed by reason Of - holding court which begins here on the 16th. he ex pects to be in the first campaign meet ing. CU V. C. Commencement.
