THE GOVERNOR'S MESSAGE (Continued from Page Five). eVen the Insurance companies would withdraw their investments from South Carolina, and that they would leave the state. In 1910 the total investments in state, county and municipal bonds, tlrsi mortgage bonds of real estate, and ilrst mortgage bonds of domestic corporations whose property is situate entirely within the state, by life, fire and miscellaneous companies of other states, not including investments made by South Carolina companies, were (2,443,088. That was the year preceding the first year of my administration. In 1911, the first year I was governor, the total investments of this character on December 31 were (4,63u,669, an increase of more than two million dollars, and almost one hundred per cent. On December 31, 1912, these investments amounted to (8,095,561, and on June 30, 1913, to (9,845,963. A conservative estimate of increase in investments of this character between June 30 and December 31 would be (900,000 to (1,000,000, increasing the total to nearly eleven million dollars, an increase of more than eight million dollars during the three years of my administration, the increase during the three years being more than three times the entire amount invested in 1910. The premium iucome of life, " * ?* onm nnni as. ex nre ana muc?uauovua elusive of the premium receipts of South Carolina companies, in 1910, was $6,585,265; in 1911, $7,198,514; and in }912, $7,591,441. At the Ume this message is written the figures for 1913 are not available. The corporation license fees in 1913, were $133,816, as compared with $122,613 the preceding year. The assessment of railroad property for taxation was increased by the state board of assessors, in 1913, by $799,823, and the increase in assessment of express, Pullman palace car, telegraph and telephone companies, amounted to $533,332, a total increase of $1,333,155. Figures compiled by the state department of agriculture, and furnished me at my request, show that no state in the Union, perhaps, has even approached South Carolina in development during the past year along agricultural and industrial lines. The value of all agricultural products of the state jumped in the last census decade from $51,324,000 to $141,938,000. During the year 1913 the value of the corn, cotton, tobacco, wheat, oats, hay and potato crops alone? just seven, without considering rice, truck, fruits, or anything else embraced in the above decade totals, aggregate $154,518,119, as against $123,219,043 for the same crops during 1912, and $111,137,889 (census) in 1910. The increase in 1913 over 1912, in these seven crops alone, measured ATu oiim in dollars, was ? only 120,000,000 less than the total valuation of all farm products in 1900. The corn crop for 1913 was 4,566,000 bushels greater than in 1912, the average yield per acre at last having reached twenty bushels, or within two bushels of the average for the United States, representing an increase in dollars of $10,484,880. During 1913 8,962,000 more pounds of tobacco were produced than in 1912, for which the growers received $4,584,339?$1,930,896 more than in 1912. The growing tendency to raise food supplies at home is shown by the fact that in 1913, 245,000 more bushels of wheat were produced than in 1912, representing an increase of $101,400 over the 1912 wheat crop. The cotton crop of 1913 was perhaps the second largest the state has ever raised, and was the best ever marketed in quality, bringing to the farmers about $98,500,000. The gross income to the people from agriculture during 1913, may be conservatively estimated, according to the department of agriculture, at approximately $160,000,000, or more than three times what it was in 1900. This is without regard to the live stock industry, which is also increasing steadily and rapidly. And even yet, according to those who have stud; ied the possibilities and conditions, the agricultural opportunities in South Carolina have as yet only been barely touched. - ?- -? i onn tn 1910 the in me uetnuc num ??? value of manufactured products in South Carolina Jumped from $53,336,000 (exceeding agriculture at that time) to $113,236,000. In 1912 the manufactured products amounted to $124,544,080. The hgures for all manufacturing are not available for 1913 at the time this message is written, but the increase was almost as substantial as was shown for agriculture. The figures, however, for the principal item in our manufacturing industry?the textiles?are available. The textile plants in money-value during the year 1913 turned out goods almost to the value of the cotton crop of the state and nearly to the amount of the capital employed. There was an increase of $4,905,092 in capital invested over 1912. The increase in value of annual product over 1912 at the midsummer census was $539,513, while it is estimated thai the final figures now being compiled by the department of agriculture will show an increase over 1912 in this regard ot more than $10,000,000. The value of the product during 1913 will approximate $84,500,000, and the capital invested is now $88,674,738. The average number of persons employed is 49,695, an increase of 1,938 during the past year. There was an increase of $1,242,810 in the amount paid to operatives in 1913 as compared with 1912. The spindleage was increased during the year by 153,516, the total number of spindles now being 4,527, '--'.OnA A 9 1? 4 3U. mere was uu mticiuc wi looms, the total now being 111,483. The mills are consuming 800,293 bales of cotton annually. Direct water drive has decreased 2,298 horse power, while there has been an increase of 3,551 horse power in steam drive, and an increase of 2,027 of electric -power generated by water power; electric power generated by steam has decreased 4,720 horse power. The total horse power furnished by electricity generated by water is now 66,942; by steam 75,726; by water, 24,783; and by electricity generated by steam only 5,630. The total number of children employed last year was 8,584 against 8,962 in 1912. Of these, 5,003, as against 5,073 in 1912, were between the ages of 14 and 16 years. Between the ages of 12 and 14 there were only 3,581 during 1913, as against 3,619 the preceding year. There were considerably less children of the latter age (12 to 14) employed than in 1909, when there were 3,976 from 12 to 14, and 726 under 12 years. What increase there has been since 1909 in child labor has been in the number between 14 and 16 years. In 1912 a larger increase in textile capital was shown than was shown in 1913, but the increase in production was only $2,574,000 that year. The smaller increase in capital and larger increase in product during 1913 are due to the fact that several large new mills which were in process of construction in 1912 were in full operation in 1913. In a summary furnished me by the department of agriculture, the development of South Carolina is epitomized as follows: "Water power developments upon a large scale are progressing rapidly, electric driven interurban lines are being built and are getting into operation, in the towns and cities diversified small industries are starting up one after another, modern steel frame buildings are being built, transportation facilities are being augmented, value of farm and urban property are increasing steadily and suDstanuauy, banking is in a healthy condition, commerce by water is developing even into the heart of the capital city, prepation is being made with a view of making the most of opportunities to be afforded by the opening of the Panama canal, and upon all constructive lines of endeavor the commonwealth is moving forward with the steady stride that is characterizing the development of agriculture." The figures tell the story, gentlemen. but, even without the aid of the figures, the evidences of prosperity and progress which you see on every hand are conclusive. The business outlook is bright, based upon healthy business conditions. During the latter part of the month of November, the president of the National Loan and Exchange bank of Columbia?who will surely not be charg- ( ed with being my friend, having substantially shown that he is not?wired the president of a New York bank: "Your wire. Business conditions in this state are healthier than I have known them for several years." Viewing the situation from every standpoint, never was there a better year for South Carolina, and never was there so bright a future before the state and her people. Consider the facts, gentlemen. They are ample cause for congratulation and for pride. Consider them well. Does it look as if blease and "Bleaseism" have ruined the state, as was predicted by my opponents in the campaign of 1912? The prosperity and the progress of every preceding year have been far surpassed, and the showing which has been made is not short of wonderful. Political Peace. I had hoped for political peace during ihe past year?that the claim on the part of my opponents of the desire for political peace had come from honest hearts. In many instances, I regret to say, the results have proved otherwise. Ti> bring about this much [ desired peace I have done my part. No man can truthfully charge me with ever having done anything to cause turmoil and bitterness. No man has ever yet heard me make a speech in which I arraigned class against class. I have never advised labor to attack capital, nor favored it, or capital attacking labor. I have never said anything about the lawyer against the farmer, or the mill man against the farmer, or the farmer against the mill man, or the merchant against any other man in a different walk in life, nor anything that could [ be so construed, in any speech that I have ever made. I have never said anything in regard to town against country, or country against town, nor , anything which would tend to cause disturbance in our state. I have defended myself when attacked, and shall continue to do so as long as I have power. I have been most foully lied upon, villitled and ahused, and the effort has been made all along to make it appear that Blease was stir- j ring up strife and factionalism, when those who were thus speaking and writing knew at the time that my en- ( emies were causing the strife and dis- j sensions, and that I have been plead- < : ~ nm/\nop ah** nnnnlo Thh 1I1& ivi pcovc amuiift vu* a ..v organization of the campaign in the i spring of 1912, the collection of thou- ! sands upon thousands of dollars to aid : in my defeat, the reorganization of j the clubs in April, the packing of the May convention, the packing of the < managers of election, refusing me and i my friends representation on the < boards of managers, all go to show ( that the fight was against me, and the 1 bitterness precipitated against me, 1 and not by me. If I had been let 1 alone and allowed to serve my two terms, in peace, there would have been < some reason for giving credence to I the protestations of rny opponents 1 that they wanted peace?and if they ' had practiced what they preached, 1 there would have been peace. But ' that was not what they wanted, and ' the mean, villainous, contemptible ' campaign that was waged against me, 1 and the fight made upon me since, 1 show up their statements as the false- 1 hoods which they are. After the ' campaign was over, after I had pro- 1 claimed peace from the State House ' eton? nnrl after the legislature had 1 met and adjourned, and it had begun 1 to look as though there was going to be harmony, who started the Ander- j son law suits against my administra- 1 tlon of affairs, the Cherokee supervis- J ors of registration law suits, the mud- ! die in Sumter, the continual annoy- J ance of my appointees?refusing to pay people whom I had legally appointed and who had done proper ser- j vice and the service required by your laws? A general attempted defiance ; of me as governor has been evidenced j by my opponents throughout the state. Editorials of the bitterest kind have been written against me. Officials holding little, petty jobs?who, some of them, will soon be put out of these 1 little jobs?have written abusive arti- < cles in regard to me, which the news- ; papers have taken delight in publishing. All these.things have been heaped up upon me, and I have sat quietly and said nothing, ignoring these bitter attacks upon me. And yet, in the face 1 of all this, some people are saying even now that Blease is creating trouble and causing dissensions. When I try to be quiet, even in the face of attacks; when I say nothing and do nothing antagonistic to any one, in- J stead of letting me alone, these people keep up their abuses. I have about come to the conclusion that the little saying is true: "To escape criticism, do nothing, say nothing, be nothing." But, gentlemen. I am built contrary to that. I propose to be something, to do something, and to say something, and my enemies have failed to keep me from it. T oontinna to hnns that nolitlcal peace will settle upon us, and I shall da my part in future towards that end, as I have done my part in the past. The Historical Commission. In this connection, gentlemen, I want sion of this state?an open defiance of the law by those high in authority, in connection with the historical commission of this state?an oen defiance of the law by a United States judge and a lawyer who has served as special judge in this state. For some time we have had a United States senator defying the law of South Carolina by holding college trusteeships while he is a member of the United States senate, and we have had and now have other men in high office, such as that of state senator and other offices, holding two positions in plain violation of the Constitution. Now, comes the historical commission, a position as member of which we haye all presumed does not pay any salary, but is one of honor, and here we have an open defiance of the law as I conceive it by a United States judge. The at- ] torney general of this state has held that this judge vacated his position FFRTTTT YEAR AFTER YEAR, IN UNFAVORABLE SEASONS. FOI GOOD LANDS AND ON POOR L< GRAY LAND, ON CLAY LAND AI LAND AND ON IX)\V LAND, ON COTTON, CORN, TOOI OUR FERTILIZERS HAVE BEE CONCEIVABLE TEST, EACH YE."

I appointed a successor to him. but at a meeting held in the city of Columbia, on the 17th of December, this very distinguished gentleman not only held that he was still a member of the commission, but defied the opinion of the attorney general, and stated that he would be glad to take the matter to the supreme court with the attorney general. Of course Mr. Smith is a high judge, and should not be criticized for violating the law, but I am simply showing you still another open flaunting of the law by my enemies. If Mr. Smith were a little negro crap shooter or some poor white man who happened to sell a little whisky, this same judge would give him a criminal sentence for doing what he himself is now doing, in my opinion. Next time he sentences some one he should say, "I am a violator of the law; you can't sentence me. but I will sentence you; you are a common citizen, but I am a big (?) judge; I can violate the law and defy it, but, you little shrimp, I will teach you a lesson." I used to think Mr. Smith a learned man, but I now conclude that he is a little cheap, partisan politician i who thinks he knows all the law, while the lawyer before him knows none. "I am not further surprised at his accepting a judgeship from a Republican while claiming to be a Democrat. Another instance is that of Mr. Mc- I Cullough, who also vacated his position on the historical commission by serving several times as special judge which has been held to be an office in this state. Yet Mr. McCullough, like Judge Smith, in open defiance of the law, holds to his position on this historical commission and continues to act, and he and Mr. Smith, with two other members of the commissioi j Messrs. Kennedy and Snowden, set themselves up as the historical commission, in open violation and defiance of the Constitution of this state. j Yes, gentlemen. I am criticized for pardoning the little fellow who violates the law and begs for mercy, while these "big" men are above the law, and cannot be reached, and Blease is criticized on the charge of creating a political disturbance, while these "big" men and others like them, are causing the turmoil by refusing to abide by the law. I can't understand why these men are so tenacious of this little job. There ! is supposed to be no money in it?not even the actual expenses of attending the meetings. Why is it that these two distinguished gentlemen hold on like bull dogs holding on to a piece of bone? Doesn't it look as if there is somethii. in the woodpile? And why are men holding the hich affices of United States senator and 3tate senator so tentacious in holding an to collecre trusteeships in violation of the Constitution of their state which they are sworn to uphold Doesn't It look as if there is something in the svoodpile? I care nothing for the little position an the historical commission. It doesn't interest me personally. I am satisfied that whatever history is written as to me, if it is written by my friends it will be fair, if written by my enemies it will be an infamous lie, such as they have been writing about me since I have been governor and even before?ever since my entrance into politics. Therefore, this little job doesn't make any jifference to me. I merely call It, and the other matters, to your attention, to show you the open defiance of the law on the part of certain people, and to show you who is responsible for keeping political peace away. I recommend that, unless you are desirous of allowing these men whom 1 bave mentioned to continue in their open violation and defiance of the Constitution. that you abolish this historical commission, in order to get rid of these men, and either create a new commission, or have none, as I am sat Isrted the one we have is worthless, useless, and will prove some day to be more 01 u nuisance iu ijcuj/ic TT HU HV sire to secure the true history of this state than of value. Conclusion. I hope, gentlemen, that your session will result in the passage of only good laws; that you will give to it your honest and conscientious thought, and that your best efforts will be put forward in behalf of your state and her people: that political strife and dissensions will not appear, and that peace and harmony will prevail among you. I rust that when you shall have adjourned the people of South Carolina can truly say this was the most constructive legislature we have ever had. If they can not, it will be your own fault, for you are the architects, the contractors and the builders, and if the building is faulty neither can blamethe other. You must all stand or fall together. May God guide and direct you, that you may build wisely and well, and may He bless each and every one of you in your work. Very respectfully, Cole L. Blease.
