If I felt that my action would be linal it may be that, holding the convictions I ^ have that this is the most dangerous act of legislation that has ever been presented to the people of South Caror i:_?

But the peop.e, w.ose wishes 1 have always sought to obey and whose welfare I have always endeavored to care for and promote, have the decision with them as to whether it should become a law. I am so apprehensive of the dire disaster whicb may coane to W the credit of the State by incurring fsuch a fearful amount of indebtedness "for sue:- a small State as South Carolina, and which, perhaps, and in all nrdbalbility, in my view of it, will not I give any relief to the poor farmers ' ot: our State nor sufficiently protect t'b.e large planting interests of many of our citizens, and so fearful of suchwoeful consequences as may arise to our people at large, that I hesitate 10 assume any responsibility for this measure. But I become hesitant and rdou'brfu! before the situation which my disapproval of this act may produce, and whicb so many oi." our representatives and our farmers think would meet the emergency which they now face, and that it is for their benefit and "weBare. ffihe constitution provid-es that "if a "bill or joint resolution shall no-t be returned by the governor witfcin three days after it shall have been presented to him, Sunday excepted, it shall tJave the same force and effect as if he r.ad R signed it, unless the general assembly, by adjournment, prefvent its re turn, :m which case it shal-l have such Mf force and effect unless returned withW in two days after the next meeting." P In all probability one of tise reasons k of this constitutional provision is to ^ meet just such a situation as now pre f sente itself to me. I cannot, entertaining the views t':<at I do with regard to this act, approve it.

The responsibility, therefore, of its becoming a law mus't resit with the general assembly, whiti:(was convened in extra session to pass such laws as, in their good judgment, may be necessary and proper for t'-e relie!' of the citizens of our State.

Tiie war in Europe is proving a big boon to postal sa/.ings in this country. From t;?e very day hosti.ities opened across the seas postal receipts began to increase by leaps and bounds and withdrawals fell oil, a result quite contrary to the predictions of many well-informed persons wLo, in their imagination, saw lines oi' .everish depcsitois at i;cs:t-office pay widows anxious to again return their savings to the boot-leg and bodybelt depositories whence t-ey caiine before intrusted to Uncle Sain. But the forecasters failed to reckon on the absolute con- , tkience 0- tne American ciuzen, iegard:ess of the flag that first met his eyes, in the ability and purpose of t-e government to cary out its obligations, not only among tiie nations c) the earth, but with the humblest citizens of cur land. Two importon! results nave followed; thousands of people, largely of foreign birth, accustomed to send t:>eir savings abroad, are now patrons of nnctoi-cpvinsrs svstem: and enor imous sums of actual cash, have been released ;:or commercial uses among our own people at a time when the need for every available dollar is pressing.
