My views on all public matters are well known and my record as GovGrnor for four years is so fresh in ?e minds of the people that I hardly feel it necessary to here outline my Satform.1 However, I will state that i shall favor, among other things, the following: The warehouse system, which was enacted into law while I was Governor, and which was recommended by me in my general message to the General Assembly. A flat two-cent passenger rate on all railroads. Local option by counties for the control of the whiskey question. Liberal support of Confederate veterans.

Laws that will favor and protect w labor in all its legitimate purposes and such laws as will protect capital in its lawful investments. Amending the Constitution by striking out that section which provides for the payment of $2,000 to o the family of a negro who commits rape on a white woman, and providing that in cases of rape a jury may be drawn immediately and a special .

Rigid enforcement of "blue laws" as they are written in the ordinances of Charleston will be made after March 1, Chief of Police Black told a reporter. The ; ordinance requiring the posting of signs by business concerns of the city will also be enforced to the letter on and after the 1st of next . month, Chief Black asserted. In announcing the enforcement of these sections of the ordinances Chief Black stated that only drug stores would be allowed to remain open all day Sunday, and that bakeries and meat markets would be allowed to keep open only until 10 o'clock in the morning Sundays. Ice cream parlors, soda fountains, fruit stores, and stores in which tobacco and cigars are sold will be allowed to open only for sale of such things as fruits, tobacco and nonalcoholic beverages, after noon Sundays.

When it comes to opportunities for ;he intelligent tiller of the soil, there 1 ire few sections ot fhe world that )ffer as many and in as great variety n the same area as the State of t South Carolina. I do not write this broad statement inadvisedly, or because I happen to , be a South Carolinian in charge of agricultural activities in the State. - [ write it in the full knowledge of 1 conditions, in most of the countries i of Europe, and the soil, climate and - rainfall conditions prevalent in every r other section of the United States r and because the statement is sustain) ed by an analytical examination of , the Federal agricultural statistics. In elevations the State varies from i 2,000 feet above the sea level to the F low-lying coastal plain, affording alt most every conceivable variety of soil - sloping downward from the moun5 tainsides to the sea and abundantly [ watered by flowing streams. Climate ia Ideal. With a mean annual temperature i of 63 degrees, a summer mean of 79 degrees, and a winter mean of 46 dei grees, conditions exactly similar to r the famous Riviera of Southern ' France, and of California in the vi; cinity of Los Angeles, exist. With an averae-fi annual rainfall of 48.70 inches and a summer averi age precipitation of 16.94 inches, conditions are produced "* that mean ' the growing successfully of almost any crop. In no soil can better yields or quality of cotton be obtained. In no soil have larger yields per acre of corn ever been obtained in this or any other continent. In no soils are better tobacco, fruit, forage, melons or small grain grown. When I am asked about opportunities usually I point to Federal figures. After all, tp the man with the business head, it is money only talks. Let's see what the census credits to South Carolina in the decade between 1900 to 1910. Cite* Federal Statistics. The value of farm property in 1900 was $153,591,159; In 1910 it was $392,128,314, or an increase of 155 per cent. The value of farm land in 1900 was $9^,905,800, and in 1910 it was -$268,774,854, or an increase of 169 per cent. The average value of all property per farm in 1900 was $989, while in 1910 it was $2,223, or an increase of 124.8 per cent. ' The average value of land per acre in 1900 was $7.14, while in 1910 it was $19.89, or an increase of 178.6 per cent. The value of crops in 1910 was $140,000,000 (now over $162,000,000), and this represents an increase of 28.4 per cent, in one year, the greatest increase shown in any State in the Union. In millions of dollars this increase in* 1910 over 1909 was $31,000,000, over 1906 it was $63,000,000, and over 1900 it was $88,685,000. ' Stands High in Production. In 1910* South Carolina outranked in volume of production, though her area was so small, every Southern State except Texas and Georgia. In value per square mile of territory, South Carolina outranked both of these States, her value being $4,518, against $1,369 for Texas, and $3,373, for Georgia. Among all the ranking States of the Union, South Carolina's value per acre was next only to Illinois, with $5,122 and Indiana with $4,736. None of the Southern States except Georgia, came up to the $3,000 mark. The fact that a little State like South Carolina could jump in 1910 from rank 21 to rank 13, and be one of only three Southern States standing in the list between 1 and 13, 3hows the opportunities offered by the resources of soil and climate, in her small area of 30,980 square miles If there were other evidences needed to show what South Carolina can do agriculturally when she has it to do, an examination of the results of her activities at the end of the year 1915, following the year of disaster to cotton caused by the war, would afford that proof. d- - i ci r.:. kiuvir* uaiu. Notwithstanding the tremendous '.osses of 1914 the producing classes >o handled the situation in 1915 as to -ecoup most of those losses and be 542,000,000 better off than they were it the end of 1914. There is scarcely a country in existence where so quick a turn could havi been made to diversified crops ?*or money purposes. It was done, lowever, on the same total cultivated acreage that the State devoted umost exclusively to couon ana corn before, and that total by the way, was a little smaller than the total of >oth 1900 and 1910, upon which the ibove census figures are based. This State is simply bristling with opportunities for the intelligent tiller jf the soil, no matter whence he :omes. He has the opportunity to work with the soil if he wants to do it every day in the year. SOUTHERN RAILWAY SCHEDULE Arrival and departure on trains jffective January 23, 1916.

WHY PRUNING PAYS Summary of the Principal Objecti if I T?inrr ICwi fm An Trnfii. Clemson College, Feb. 25.? Tree oruning is work that must be done before spring arrives with its lifereviving effect on trees, as after that the wood will be no longer dormant and severe pruning may result in serious injury. Therefore, farmers in this state who have not attended to their pruning are advised to get busy with it now. An expert of the United States L/epurkI(ieilL Ul Agutunuic ouunuai ~ izes the principal objects of orchard pruning as follows: 1. To modify the vigor of the tree 2. To keep the tree shapely and within bounds. 3. To make the tree more stocky. 4. To open the tree top so as to admit air and sunshine. 5. To reduce the struggle for existence in the tree top. 6. To remove dead or interferring branches. 7. To aid in stimulating the development of fruit buds. 8. To thin the fruit. 9. To make thorough spraying possible. 1U. TO iacilltate ine narvesuiig of the fruit. The Horticultural Division oi Clemson College will answer anj questions about pruning that Soutf Carolina farmers wish to ask.
