PREPARiNG TO NOTE.
Governor-elect and Mrs. Blease Get
ting Ready to Go to Columbia.
Inaugural Address.
Governor-elect Blease is preparing
to move to Columbia. The firm of
Blease & Dominick, with which Mr.
Blease has been connected during the
past several years, his partner being
Mr. Fred H. Dominick, was dissolved
by mutual consent cn January 1.
Mr. and M, 3lease will go to Co
lumbia on January 16, the day before
the inauguration. They will move in
to the mansion after the inaugura
7 Mr. lkelile has one of the fin
st law libraries in the State. He is
going to take his books to Columbia
with him and place them in the
ibrary in the governor's mansion
the front left-hand room as one en
ters the mansion. Governor-elect
Blease, while he has discontinued the
active practice of law, will be his own
awyer while in the governor's chair,
and he will have his library at his
home.
The Inaugural Address.
Governor-elect * Blease has now
praotically completed his inaugural
address. In length it will be some 3,
600 to 4,000 words and will reiterate
Mr. Blease's positions as announced in
W!s platform during the campaign.
3t will go further, however, along lines
which will not be divulged before
Hand. Governor-elect Blease will take
a positive stand on all issues con
fronting the people. This much may
be stated in advance. His views on
the whiskey question will be reiterat
ed, though this question has practical
ly now been settled. Mr. Blease in
2!is campaign advocated a license sys
tem under constitutional and other re
otrictions which he suggested for
those counties which desired it, and
under the most stringent regulations
he will recommend a license system
for counties desiring it in preference
to prohibition or county dispensary.
His Military Staff.
Mr. Blease has a,ppointed his mili
tary staff, but will not make the an
nouncement until after his inaugura
tion. He has written letters to all the
members of his staff, asking them to
meet hiim at his rooms in Wright's
hiotel at 11 o'clock on the day of the
inauguration, in order that they may
meet each -other and become person
ally acquainted.
Other Appointments Made.
In addition to his military staff,
Governor-elect Blease has appointed
his private secretary, Mr. Alexander
Rowland, of Columbia, and his negro
messenger, Henry Bluford, of Newber
ry. However Mr., Blease has been
giving serious consideration to the
~matters ~which will come before him
and the appointments which he will
make will be after due consideration.
~ Governor-elect Blease, when he is
s~worn in by Magistrate Dunbar, of
Barnwell, will break a precedent
'which has h'ld since the inauguration
oft Govrenor Hampton, who was sworn
in by J. Quitman Marshall, at that
time a magistrate of Richland coun
ty.
STATE IS GROWING.
Annual Report of Seeretary of State,
* H. I. EcCown, Makes Gratifying
Showing.
"The year 1910, just closed, has
been the most prosperous and pro
* gressive in the history of the State."
'This statement will be made by R. M.
,McCown, secretary of State, in his an
nual report to the general assembly.
In this he will point out that the in
dustrial growth as shown 'by the re
cords of charters issued and the en
larging of established enterprises has
been marked as compared with pre
vious years -and that this growth has
not been confined to any one field -of
industry or any particular locality,
but that the development has 'been
general and along all lines of busi
* The sum of $24,244,220 is the total
amount of new capital that has been
invested in the State during the year.
This amount is distributed as follows:
Private corporations. .. ..$12,812,600
Railroad corporations.. .. 3,600,000
Railroad increases.. .. ....1,250,000
Private companies increase 5,481,000
Renewal1s.. .... .... ...1,000,000
Total.. .... .... .....$24,244,320
The total amount for last year 'was
$20,303,325. This means that approx
Imately $4,000,000 more capital was
put into motion in the State in 1910
over 1909.
New cotton mills, oil mills, manufac
tories of various kinds, banks, land
companies, live stock, mercantile,
ifarm, building and loan and many oth
er kinds of enterprises have been
chartered during the past year and
the capital invested shows ana improv
ed and healthy business condition.
"From the date of the organigtior
of the State," says Mr. McCown, <,up
State relied wholly upon agricultural
enterprises for development, and while
the products and the profits from the
farm still supply the chief source of
revenue it is rapidly becoming a
manufacturing and industrial center
and in a marked contrast with other
States and communities, where the
one has suffered by the development
of the other or prospered at the ex
pense of the other, these industries
hand-in-hand are making rapid, steady
and substantial strides in every sec
tion of the State, as evidenced by the
material and genuine growth during
the year just closed."
He points out that this domestic
development and expansion is attract
ing the attention of homeseekers and
capitalists from other States and
countries who, seeing the opportuni
ties and possibilities and boundless
resources are looking toward South
Carolin'a with confidence and hope.
"What has been accomplished spells
future prosperity," says Mr. McCown,
and he continues, "But as great as the
achievement has been the possibilities
are greater."
He points out in his report that the
walls of the State house are being dam
aged by the leals in the roof and
"that this condition should and must
be remedied."
Careless Legislation.
Discussing acts in conflict he says:
"In no spirit of criticism but in order
that some ruo or system might be
adopted to prevent similar errors and
confusion in the future and for the
clarification of existing ambiguities,
let me call your attention to several
acts in seeming conflict. By the pass
age and approval of Act number 36,
acts and joint resolutions of 1909, you
reenacted and revived section 766,
code of 1902 and thereby provided for
the appointment and election of cer
tain county commissioners in several
counties which had been otherwise
provided for by special acts passed
since the adoption of the code. Act
number 36 referred to, was intended
only to provide two additional coun
ty commiioners in Darlington coun
ty, yet it changed the county govern
ment law in several counties and un
der the provision thereof, Spartanburg
and Union should have elected county
conxinissionlers at the general eleic
tion 1910, where no elections were
hel(1. Other coun.ties equally affected
by this general provision reme'died the
confusion by the passage of special
acts at the session of 1910.: In exist
ing county govermngent laws conffic'ts
might be pointed out ad infinitum."
