In addition, the people of.South Carolina have responded to the appeals of the National Government and have bought unsparingly of War Savings Stamps, pledging themselves to the amount of $13,745,249. of which the negroes of the State have pledged to buy more than a million and a quarter. There are 296,253 individual pledges, of which 220,188 are white people. The pledges made total $S.30 per capita, which applies in proportion to the races 516.06 per capita as to the whites and $1.4S as to the negroes. Of the population of the State 17.8 per cent, are pledged, but analysis of these figures will show that 28.5 per cent, of the white population is pledged as i^gains tS.7 per cent, of the negro population. In both the Red Cross campaigns, of 1917 and 191S, the people of South Carolina overscribed their quotas, giving a total of $1,590,221 in the two campaigns. Not in dollars alone, however, can the Red Cross work of the State be measured. In South Carolina there are 61 organized chapters, with a total membership of 90,647, covering every county in the State. The Red Cross workers in South Carolina have 10 men and 20 women in overseas work. No account is here taken of the Red Cress Christmas Roll Call of 1918, the figures for which are not available. To the welfare work among the soldiers and sailors, the Young Men's Christian Association and other agencies, the people of South Carolina have also given liberally, both in men and money. There have been eightyodd South Carolinians in the Y. M. C. A. overseas service and 72 South Carolinians engaged in this work in camps and cantonments in this country. To the two Y. :?I. C. A. campaigns 1S7.606, was given, South Carolina was asked for $905,730 in the United War Work Campaign, which came on after the armistice was signed, and gave 1,146,000, oversubscribing the State's quota by -W. _ j. ? ~ e ? ? : i i ; ? ,3 ?n neany a. quarter ui <x uiunuu uuuais. Summing up these figures, it will be seen that South Carolina's contribution in money towards financing the war, through Liberty Loans and War Savings Stamps, and to the humanitarian and welfare work, incident to the war, through the Red Cross and the Y. M. C. A., Knights of Columbus, Y. W. C. A., the Jewish Welfare Board, the Salvation Army, War Camp Community Service, and other agencies, has been $95,S40,541, .a, financial burden which has ^been borne without hardship by the people, although in some instances involving nofmntin cinrififoa c\ne] nn/Jnnhfprilv. pan iv/nv owviinvw, , accomplished only through a quickened sense of the obligations of citizenship and splendid determination to live up to them in the fullest measure. The war is over and won.. Victory has been achieved and the enemy has surrendered under the most humiliating and stringent terms that history records. But it is more than the mere winning of the war which causes us to exult and, although millions of men have died and millions more Lave suffered permanent invalidism, to glory in the final result of the conflict, not only between nations of peoples, but of oppofhig and irreconciliable ideals. Civilization has been saved by the crushing of the Prussian theory that might is right, and, a new era has been ushered in by the heroic sacrifices made by the American and their comrade soldiers of the allied armies to establish forever that truth and justice are the essential foundations of that which shall prevail as the mighty. President Wilson has given expression to our position as we stand on the threshold of this new era in the world's V^nfAwir f Ua AtTA?*I ^ l'o TlATTf CAol.* II AO LUX J I* IJLCiL Lli.C nuiiu AO XX v/ ? 0%5tXV" ing to do is to return to paths of duty, to turn from the savagry of injustice to the dignity of the performance of duty." Unless we, as a people are ab:e to consecrate our best eUorts, our highest ideals, our unselfish endeavors and our moral, spiritual and material forces to the ways and the purpose of peace as we have dedicated these to the winning of the war, we shall fail to hold and retain much of that for which the war has been fought; but the splendid accomplishments of the people of South Carolina in their unstinted and whole-hearted support of the war leads me to believe, as I have said, that they have grasped the vision of the higher citizenship and a clearer understanding of its obligations. This must survive the treaty of peace; it must be applied to our National and State life and in our relations one with another. Upon the leaders of our people rests the responsibility of shaping n?v trnrld thnncht qhH m mil Hl?r> Mvn ?? v* *V4 VUVUQUV ?*UU AUV/UlUiUg into permanency this awakened consciousness, that both may be translated into action. For our returning soldiers we must find places, else their welcomes will be meaningless. We must concern ourselves also with the welfare of those about us less fortunate than ourselves. Employers must awaken to a sense oi the juotkc of more adequate pay in order that tiieir employes may meet and solve their problems which multiply with the high cost of living, and selfish in- i terests must give way to appreciation of faithful service. The preacher, the teacher and the clerk, all salaried men and women as well as the laborer, to ha able to kppn their ideals clear!v be fore them must receive compensation . basd upon fairness and in proportion 1 to the services they perform. The hardships of farm life with its isolation and drudgery for men and women must be recognized by city dwellers, that good roads may be extended j throughout the rural sections, to re- i lieve isolation and to cheapen trans- f portation, to facilitate travel and to give opportunity for social gatherings and social pleasures. Together we A must work to afford the opportunity toevery body and girl an education that w| they may make better and more ef ficient citizens. Better housing: condi tions for the poorest mill worker and j tenant farmer must be provided. Into \ the isolated rural sections tlie doctrine of sanitary living must be introduced and the people taught to prevent disease and to treat it when it falls upon them. Our teachers must , be trained to lead the people of t?e communities in which they live along these lines. Economy must necessarily follow after such tremendous and unprecedented expenditures ?s have been made^auring the war, but this ) should be the economy of thrift, applying to peace the lesson we have learned individually during the war, and not to economy which will tend to retard or block progress of the development of the American character as ^ it has been given expression on the v battlefields of France and in every ' city, town, and hamlet and rural community in this country during the period of the world war. I have pionted to the accomplishments of the people of South Carolina^ ? during the war as an indication that i they have grasped this vision of high- ^ er citizenship. Our deficiencies and our ability to remedy them have been revealed to us by war's requirements ^ and the manner in which we have met rw them, and to retain the lesson of sac- I rifice and service and duty and to 1 usher in a day of broaded hope and j % higher living by applying them to our il State, some clear tasks lie before us. ? These we may face with courage and ^ witb confidence in ourselves, and in our ability to accomplish big tasks which hitherto may have appeared impossible. ' \j South Carolina remains almost at. the foot of the ladder in point of illiteracy?the 47th. State in. the Union.. The one State which, by its position saves South Carolina from being at tlie very bottom?Louisiana?is already taking serious anil far-reaching steps to climb to a higher plane. This blot must be removed from the name or our sr.aie? and South Cg.-fMna must net Unser occupy this d graded position. She must in education and efficiency he fully abreast of her sister States. We have demonstrated to ourselves what we can do if we but possess the courage to go. forward. The amount given by the people of v, relief purposes during the war is al- Jjj South Carolina for humanitarian and h most four times the amount appropriated for educational purposes the State during the past four years. Automobiles and heavy trucks have multiplied. This heavy tratfic has cut nn nnr> rrtnHc* on/4 tiato n Jin UJ^ VUi. A VMUU' U.AJLU AAV/ TV VUCJ CLX C a Ui3* ^ grace. A makeshift system road work will not longer suffice. South Carolina must adopt a modern, piactical and effective system of highways. The civilization of the State can not progress without good roads. The time has come to stop and take an accounting. Can we, the people of South Carolina who have Taised nearly a hundred millions of dollars for the war, do the things which lie before us in the broad path of duty? There are to my mind but two essen- j| tials, the vision and the willingness to ^ go forward. Such a program as our vision of a better State outlines will require as a primary and fundamental means the expenditure of more money than the State has heretofore appropriated for education, highways, public health, humanitarian causes and ^ other purposes, and larger and ade- flj quate appropriations mean an in^ JH creased taxation. ? South Carolina's per capita tax is $2.05, the lowest of any State in th? V Union save one, and tbis is just one ^ cent lower. Our assessments are low. We can well afford to increase our ^ taxes in order to advance and go for- | ward with th emarch of an enlighten- " ed world and a civilization which has been made secure by the sacrifices of millions of heroic and unselfish men who were not afraid even to die for ^ their ideals. If thprp hp thnoo urfcn f would oppose these forward measures which our awakened public conscience dictates because of higher taxation. they are, I hope, that small minority who have failed, perhaps, to catch the vision and to learn the lesson of the war. They have failed to grasp the A meaning of the new Americanism. which is closely allied with Christianity. May God give lis the wisdom and d
