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- <

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

upon the historical commission when
he accepted the judgeship. 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. Governor.
