THE GOVERNOR'S MESSAGE. , In accordance with a custom in The Herald and News office for many years we decided to hold the mailing of the Tuesday paper until Tuesday after noon in order to print the governors annual message to the legislature, which would not be released until about 1 o'clock of that day. That is y what has been the custom for many years, in fact so far as our memory carries it has been the custom of the governor to present his annual message to the assembly as soon as it was organized and ready for business. So we were ready for the mailing at 2 o'clock on Tuesday. But we had no" release, and so we couldn't mail or even send the paper to the town subscribers and we did not let one go out of the office. The message came from Columbia in answer to our call that the governor was going to deliver his message himself to the joint assembly at noon on Wednesday, and there we were. Finally about 6 o'clock we got a message to Private Secretary Walter B. Duncan of the governor's office and he kindly gave us permission to send out the mail on the night train of Tuesday so as to reach our country subscribers on the rural routes on Wednesday, so then the readers of The Herald and News will have the message before it is read to the legislature, and all through no fault of ours, because if we had known the governor was going to hold it for personal delivery on Wednesday we would not have gone to the additional expense of printing it before Thursday. We approve the plan adopted by the governor of delivering the message in; person to the joint assembly. It is but following the precedent; of President Wilson who broke all ^precedents by doiner that verv thine, and we annrov-1 ed that in the president, and of course^ these distinguished officials will be pleased to know that their acts have our approval. But seriously we do think it is the right thing for the president and the governor to deliver the message in person. Gov. Blease djd that very thing once or twice wliile he was governor, but most of his were not written messages. The message contains much valuable information and many suggestions that are good and that are worth while considering. It is spoiled just a little in that is 'shows an animus against a predecessor jriiich has no place in a great State paper and would have been better left out. It can do no good and whether justified or not we will not argue further than to say it would have been better left unsaid. But upon the whole the message is a good and strong State paper, and as we said contains many good sugges tions. / As to good roads and schools there can be no valid argument against the importance 01 gooa roaas ana compulsory attendance. We do not think much of the local option compulsory attendance law, and so far as this county is concerned, while we believe a few districts did not vote it, the law is practically a dead letter. The only kind of a compulsory attendance ^ law that is worth the paper on which it is written is a State wide law and one that will be enforced. We can not review the message entirely and in detail, but the great after war problem to be solved is that of education and it would have been well if the governor had been a little stronger on that subject. Of course it means the raising of more money to have better schools and better roads and the other things that will be demanded of the new world in which we are to live, and the lawmaker who does not grasp the vision and take step with the new order of things had just as well step aside, or he will be VJ ' crushed beneath the wheels of progress. We said several months ago that what we needed in this age was men with a vision. You must have it. Most of us have a too narrow vision and can't see out and beyond our noble selves and our own little interests. You must catch the step of the new world, and while taxes are going higher, yet if you can show where the payment of them means a better con- i dition and a good investment for a I better world the people will not com-j plain. Where the people have a right to complain is when they are constantly called upon to pay taxes and can see no results in benefit to the public. x i The friends of Editor W. H. Wallace were glad to see him at his office on Wednesday. He has been confined to his room for several weeks with the XI u but is recovering. j 'LETTER FROM JAMES S. LONGSHORE TO HIS FATHER, M. C.

Jan. 15.?Nine persons are known to have been killed and about 50 injured by the explosion of a huge , tank of molasses on the water front off Commercial street, near Keanv i Square, today. Eight bodies were removed from the wreckage and one man died at the relief hospital. Most of those injured suffered only lrom bruises. The cause of the explosion had not been definitely determined. Walter L. Wedger, explosive expert of th State police, said that he was not prepared to giv a final opinion, but that it seemed from gas fumes generated by fermenting molasses within the tank which was not full. The molasses had been kept warm by steam heat from a plant at some distance from the tank. The tank was owned by the Puritan Distilling company, a subsidiary of the United States Industrial Alcohol company, with a plant in Cambridge. VETERAN FOREMAN SAW FLEET CHANGFS.
