(Joy. Hey ward's Inaugural Address.
Miles B. McSwccny bid aside the
cares of office yesterday and was suc
ceeded as Governor of South Carolina
by Duncan C. Hoy ward. While eou
gratulatiug the retiring Chief Magis
trate upon bus successful administra
tion of the high trust imposed in him
wo wish to congratulate his successor
upon the splendid opportunity opening
before htm, and to express our cou?
donco in his courage and impartiality
in tho discharge of the duties of his
office.
It was not to be expected that the
new Governor would go into au elabo
rate di6cussiou of tho affairs of tho
Stato in his inaugural address. It is
a very well balanced publi-j ^aper,
and distinguished by a conservatism
of statement and suggestion which
must make favorable impression upon
the people and the representatives of
the people in tho General Assembly,
who will share with Governor Hey
ward the responsibilities of conduoting
the Government of this Stato during
the next two years.
Among the more important of the
recommendations in the Governor's
first official utterance may be enumer
ated:
1. Encouragement to broader and
more diversified work among the farm
ers by providing larger 'means for
scientific instruction in agriculture.
2. Tho establishment of an immi
gration commission or bureau to give
official and accurate information to
those seeking homes in this',-part of
the countiy, and the opportunity of
advertising tho resources of South Ca
rolina at the great World's Fair iu St.
Louis.
3. Ample provision for tho estab
meut of the best common Bcbools so
that iu every community and district
there shall be well built school houses,
longer school terms, more competcut
and better paid teachers.
4. Encouragement to capital to seek
investment in this State by providing
capital so invested with ample protec
tion under the law.
5. While providing for the protec
tion of capital the Legislature should
also provide for the defenoo of tho
people against tho abuses of oombiood
capital.
6. The enaotmcnt of a law prohibi
ting the employment of ohildren in the
cotton mills of the State, sufficient
time being given "for both manufac
turers and operators to adjust them
selves to changed conditions."
7. The enforcement of all the laws
of the State, and particularly of tho
Dispensary Law, it being, iu the opin
ion of the Governor, "the duty of all
law-abiding citizens to give that same
obedience to this law whioh they give
to all others."
8. The thorough drainage of th?
s .vamp and lowlands of the State, such
JaDds, which nre now wholly unproduc
tive, comprising "fully one-fifth of tho
area of our State."
9. Tho enactment of laws whioh will
prevent " the Importation and sale of
adulterated and impure food products.'
There could be no more important
work for the Legislature to perform
than this.
10. Tho submission of a constitu
tional- amendment to the people at the
next election, providing for biennial
sessions of the General Assembly.
"In my judgment," says Govern
or, "were such an amoodmeut submit
ted it would be adopted, which I
cannot but bolieve would be to tho in
terest of the Stato."
11. The administration of all the
affairs of the State' Government with
out parsimony, but with true economy
and provision in some way, cither by
reducing the appropriations for "the
support of the public institutions,
if that can bo done without impairing
their usefulness, or such increase of |
taxation as may be required to place
the finances of the State on a strictly
business basis, the necessity under !
which tho State has been placed of
borrowing money to eonductits affairs
not being approved by sound business
sense.
The moat important and significant
thing about Governor Hey ward's in
augural address, however, is not to be
found in tho suggestions which ho
makes to the members of the General
Assembly as to appropriate legislation
upon pressing public questions, but
in tho emphasis whioh he plaoes upon
the restoration of good feeling among
the people of the State in this new era
when none is for a party, but all are
for the State. The oampaign last
year developed the faot as Governor
Heyward said, that "upon all funda
mental principles our people aro
agreed," and it is because ho enters
upon tho discharge of the duties of his
high offico as Governor of the whole
people of South Carolina that this new
man, without experience in public af
fairs, without political debts to settle
or factional issues to oonfound his
better and patriotio judgment, vill
have the united support of the conser
vative forces of society in South Caro
lina. It is the dr.ty of all good men
to hold up his hands. There can bo
no question of his devotion to the
State; it is worthy the service of all
its true sons.?News and Courier, Jan.
