Governor Richard I. Manning
delivt red his annual message
to the legislature yesterday.
A few sections are reprinted be
low:
The number of deputies now
provided by law will not be suf
ficient to enable Sheriffs, Magistrates
and other local authorities
to prevent the illicit sale of
liquor. You must realize that it
will require unceasing effort and
vigilance to prevent violations
of this law. There is need of
^ new machinery if this law is to
be effective. I ask that you will
make adequate provision for the
pay of special deputies whenever
and wherever needed to
enforce this law. The law must
De respected and obeyed; the
law must be supreme.
I commend to your special
consideration the report of the
Superintendent of Education.
The work of this department is
most gratify ins:. It shows increased
enrollment, increased
average attendance, longer terms,
better equipment, more and
better scho^lhouses, and increase
in ine numcxsr 01 scnool districts
which are making: special levy.
These facts indicate clearly a
; greater interest in education by
our people than ever before.
From a personal inspection,
the experiment of teaching agriculture
in the rural schools in
JjjMHttngton countv?has so imfl

e foregoing on agricultural
ition in the common schools
phasized by the rapid ap
:h of the boll weevil. No
way of checking or destroying
this pest has been discovered.
The boll weevil is the destroyer
of our chief money crop. It is
now within 116 miles of the
bouth Carolina line, its appearance
in our fields in a short
time seems to be beyond
question. When the boll weevil
reaches us. it will produce financial
and agricultural disaster,
unless we prepare for it by diversification
of crops, by proper
seed selection of early varieties,
bv raising food crops, by raising
cattle and stock. To change a
large part of our acreage from
cotton to other crops will require
education in farming 1
which will give better methods '
- a! ? -
man now obtain. The boll |
weevil will be upon us shortly;
we must prepare for it.
A number of plans have been 1
suggested to bring about a system
of roadways throughout the \
length and breadth of the State,
with construction that will be
permanent and the cost of maintenance
light, and I commend
this subject to your earnest consideration.
We unquestionably
need these highways. They i
must be constructed if we are <
t
iu Keep pace Willi I tie progress
of our sister States. !
At the last session of the Legislature
you generously appropri- ,
ated two thousand dollars for
special legal advice to the Governor.
This action on your
part was warmly appreciated by
me, though it was done without
mv request. I desire to express
to you my thanks for your
action, and my appreciation of
the motives whirh
piv/uif ICU
you to make this appropriation. I
desire, however, to state that
not one dollar of this appropriation
has been used, and that the
entire amount, two thousand
dollars, has beep tyrned back into

Letter from Rev. J. M. Sullivan
Ridgeland. S. C.?Would like
to say that we regretted very
much that we failed to have
time while in Pageland the other
day to speak to all our friends.
We would like to ask that they

TTRIl UUIU I 1U?U9I, II1CU *VC Will
do the thin^ right if visiting and
shaking hands is what they want.
Well, we are back on our field
after a few days rest. The outlook
is real encouraging for a
good year. The congregations
are growing at every service.
The Sunday school under the
efficient leadership of Mr. S. B.
uwens is maxing progress along
all lines. Our school is not so
large in number, but well organ
ized and doing a high grade of
work.
We would like to say that we
are pleased with our new field,
though we all know 4tThere is
no place like home."
Love and best wishes to all
the good folks in our former
pastoiate. Fraternally,

The growling purr of a high-powered
motor cume through the open case
ment window. It slowed .down and
stopped at the gate of the Willou
Plate Tea Room.
"Oh, bother!" pouted Elsie, as sh<
went into the little kitchen and re
turned tc the room to discover a soli
tary man seated at one of the white
enameled tables. He was far fron
being an ill-looking specimen of mas
culinity, although his clean-cut fea

water before him,
"Ton may bring me," be said de
Uberately, "a poached egg on toast,'
and, turning away his head, he lookec
out of the window.
Elsie hesitated and then marche<
stiffly off to the kitchen. Once then
she shook her flst at the back of thi
unoffending stranger.
"Poached egg! And it's the one par
tlcular thing that I can't make!" shi
groaned.
Three trips she made Into the tet
room?once to set tempting pats o
butter and the pot of tea before th<
patron, again to serve him with thi
burned ' bit of toast on which wai
sprawled the yellow, leathery-lookini
egg. The third trip was In answer t<
his summons.
"Please bring me another egg," hi
said In a tone of polite weariness
"This one seems?er?er?rather over
done."
Elsie Wayne always rememberer
that August afternoon as a perfec
nightmare of eggs that refused to bi
poached and of endless trips Into th<
tea room to present her trophies V
the grlm-vlsaged young man at tin
table.
Invariably he waved her offering
away, always with that look of borer
patience. *
Prom a distant table Elsie brough
the plate of plnk-and-whlte heart
shaped cakes. These delectable moi
eels were favorites with Mrs. Burton'i
patrons. j
"Those look very tempting," he sail
smoothly. "You did not make them,
"On the contrary, I did make them^

"It Is not worth mending?hearts
are all alike," she said, and. gathering
up his dishes, she disappeared
kitchen ward.
She cleared a place on the table,
set the egg poacher in its receptacle
t- of boiling water, broke an egg into
\ It, closed the lid and carefully toasted
' a slice of bread.
I She almost shrieked with Joy when
t she laid the buttered toast on the
, little blue platter and slipped the
pinky, white-filmed poached egg
I flecked with pepper onto the toast.
She had achieved a triumph. It
[ was even more beautiful than anyr
thing Susanna had ever accomplished.
The kitchen door swung behind

stretched hands she carried the silver
. tray and set before him the perfect
. poached egg.
i "I think I've discovered the knack
. of doing it," she said. *
. "That's good," he said.
t "Hadn't you better eat it -while lt'a
I hot?" she suggested.
He proceeded to eat slowly, Elsie
watching each morsel as It vanished
between his well-cut lips.
I "Is it good?" she would ask, and
always he nodded. When the blue
. platter was cleared he looked up suddenly.
"Once upon a time I was engaged

J "You have broken another heart!"
3 "Are hearts bo precious7" he asked.

) splashed on the cracked heart cake.
"Tears will mend a broken heart,"

" "Oh?Dick!" she sobbed softly.
"I'm sorry we quarreled," he whls1

them every morning for breakfast."
