Governor Talks of "Crime Wave" Law enforcement, taxation and education were mentioned as the three greatest questions before the people of South Carolnia today by Governor Cooper, in a statement given to the press in Greenville on ?fte eve of his return to the capital, following his summer vacation spent on Paris mountain, near Greenville. The "governor ended his vacation this week, bringing his family home and returning to his office Thursday, for a hard season of work, he said, in mnch better physical condition to tackle the duties of state than when he went away. In his statement to the press, the governor made reference to what ap pears to be a wave of crime in. this state and declared that crime was no more widespread in South Caro lina than throughout the nation but the fact that it is national in scope makes it no less serious in this state. The officers of the law need the sup port of every good citizen in check ing crime and upholding the laws, he said. To Forget Politics. Governor Cooper said that he was not going to think of politics for a while and would make no statement as to whether cr not he would retire from the political field when his term of office expires. "I am going down to my office," he said, "to get down to hard work." Speaking of the political situation in general all that the Governor would volunteer was that, "I believe if the people are convinced that those who hold pub ?~4uL^6r??cfe>are making an. honest and conscientious effort to serve the peo ple, the political situation need not give us serious concern." The governor announced that he would soon issue a message to the people of the state in which he would touch fully on the major is sues before the state and the needs confronting the people. Turning to a discussion of the main questions before people of the state at the present time, Governor Cooper named law enforcement, tax ation and tducation as the three out standing issues that will engage the public mind for sometime to come. The Crime Wave. "Every intelligent man, must be concerned with what appears to be the crime wave," said Governor Cooper. "It is no worse in this state than in other states, and it is prob ably a national reaction from the war. But the fact that it is national, doesn't make it any less serious. The officers charged with the duty of en forcing criminal law need the support of every good citizen." The governor said that his posi tion on the question of taxation was pretty well known. "Our tax on visi ble property," he asserted, "is en tirely too high. There must be a com plete reform of the entire system. It is my purpose to discuss this ques tion at length in the near future. It should be borne in mind that in con sidering the matter of taxation that the money collected by the state is expended for the benefit of all the people." Turning to the educational ques tion, Governor Cooper said: "We can not fail to go forward in the matter of education. Good schools cannot be had without money and the only way to get the money is by taxes. We must also continue the work that has been started in the matter of building better highways. This also means the expenditure of money. Statistics will show that South Caro lina has the cheapest per capita gov ernment of any state in the union. I am almost willing to say that very few if any of pur sister states get as much value for every dollar collect ed as does South Carolina. We must not overlook the fact, however, that we are face to face with a serious condition in agriculture due to the boll weevil. Some means must be de vised to relieve those who are suf fering most from the pest. But we must not contemplate any move that would affect our educational insti LOCAL NEWS.

C. 9-28-2t Organized Labor for Education The South Carolina branch of the American Federation of Labor in its convention in Greenville has, as usual adopted an excellent educational pro gram. It recommends larger appro priations for schools, higher stand ards of certification of teachers, in creased provisions for the night schools, medical inspection in the public schools and old age pensions or insurance for teachers. The position of labor everywhere in the world is directly related to progress in education. The laboring man's child can not and does not look forward to an inheritance of great wealth, but if the child has inherited a good mind and body, its chance in the world is better than one based upon the expectation of property, if its mind and body shall not be denied adequate training. In this democratic republic, shift ing and changing in the relative po istions of men are the unending-pro cesses. Most of the property holders in South Carolina today are the sons and daughters who were penniless or in moderate circumstances. The American families occupying high places on account of inherited wealth are so few that they are almost a negligible factor in affairs, notwith standing that they receive exaggerat ed attention and advertisement. The spokesman for organized labor in South Carolina seem to have a clear understanding of this condition, they are aware that the natural inheri tances of br?ins and health are of first importance and that the youth having them will make the best of them if not handicapped by igno rance. Will the working people of South Carolina always follow their able and enlightened leaders? Will they go to the polls and vote for governors and legislators who believe in medical in spection in schools and compulsory school attendance? Will they support for office men who insist on taxing property for the support of educa tion? Unhappily, demagogues who make the loudest outcries about high taxes are frequently most effective in their appeals to poor men who have the most to make, from the redistribution of profits through the channel of tax ation. In Spartanburg county four cotton mills have lately spent more that $200,000 in the erection of new school building for the children of their operatives. That probably is a larger sum than 2,000 operatives di rectly pay into the public treasurty. There is no other way by which work ing men and women so surely receive again a large share of what their labor has produced comparable with that of taxation for public benefits. The state college, the public school, the public hospital, and the good road are of infinitely more importance to the poor man than to the rich man. Wealthy South Carolinians are sending their daughters to college at a cost of $1,200 or $1,500 a year, but at Winthrop are 800 or 1,000 girls who would not be in college at all were taxes not levied to maintain the institution. The girl at "Winthrop has a better chance than many an other who is in an expensive finish ing school.-The State. tutions unfavorably or that would seriously retard the important work og building the state system of high ways.-Columbia Record. Which Legume Shall I Grow? Alfalfa is perhaps the greatest of all legumes. It is, however, an exact ing cropland a very good.soil, inoc ulation, lime and the best preparation are all required for its successful pro duction. Crimson clover will produce, well with less lime than, alfalfa, and on a responds to good fertilization, lim responds to good fertliization, lim ing and soil preparation. Red and mammoth clover have about the same soil requirements and do best on lime, clay or clay-loam soils. The> often do remarkably well for one or two years on rich and moist sandy-loam soils. Alsike, while costing less per acre for seedf is more of a pasture than a hay legume. It will often grow well where red clover is a failure, though it yields less. Vetch will grow well on a wide range of soils and probably is the best winter legume we have in the South for sandy soils. It is less dependent upon lime than other legumes but re sponds profitably to its use in soils deficient iii lime. Lime, inoculation, and phosphoric acid are usually all three necessary to success and. should be used if there is any doubt as to the soil's be ing well enough supplied with them. If seed are sowed on sandy soils, some potash should be used in addi tion to lime and phosphoric acid. Progressive Farmer. Christmas Seal Goal Set at Thirty Thousand It was decided by the executive committee of the South Carolina Tu berculosis association at its quarter ly meeting yesterday to raise the state's quota of Christmas seals from $25,000 to $30,000. A committee was also appointed to apportion this mon ey among the local associations of the state. The Rev. Hugh R. Murchi son, John P. Thomas, Jr., and Miss Chauncey Blackburn were appointed to serve on this committee. . It was decided by the executive committee that at least half of the amount to be raised should go back to the local associations and that the other half should go to the state as sociation. t. It was also decided that the negro seal campaign should be conducted by negro workers appointed by the local chairman and that the money" ? raised by them should go back to their work. "The Rev. Mr. Murchison Said tV3?' although his taking on this work would add to his already burdened days, he would undertake it because he knew of the need. Applications come in daily for admittance to the state sanatorium and have to be turn ed down for lack Of room.-The State. Many Seek Admission to Sanatorium. The waiting list of women appli cants seeking admission to the South Carolina Tuberculosis sanatorium now holds approximately 20 names, according to Dr. James A. Hayne, state health officer. "There are 28 beds at the sanato rium for the use of women patients. We are receiving applications for admission almost daily, but owing to the limited number of beds for the use of women, we are forced to +urn down these applications. "A failure to get admission to the sanatorium when application is made means that the chances of recovery from tuberculosis are small, for the disease shouH be treated in its in cipient stages. So that unless the ap plicant goes elsewhere for treatment, a refusal to an application for ad mission may be most unfortunate in its results. Treatment at the sanato rium is free, and many of those ap plying for admission are not in po- 1 sition to go elsewhere. "In my opinion, the legislature should provide a building for the treatment of white women at the san- ] atorium."-The State. "^fOUR^RESCRIP^^ BUSINESS Is solicited by us.
