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

DR. W. CLEM CARTER.
McCormick, Jan. 13. |
Dr. W. Clem Carter, who died of
leumonia here on last Friday mornp
was laid to rest in the cemeterv!
Newberry on Saturday in the pres-1
ice of a large concourse of sorrow-:
g friends both from McCormick and j
ewberry. Dr. Carter was 27 years of
;e and a young man who was admirt
by all who knew him. In business,
r. Carter was an exceptional man. j
jming to McCormick less than two j
sars ago he entered into a partnerLip
with Dr. R. M. Fuller and was
ie manager of Fuller-Carter Drug
mpany until his death in the conlct
of which he showed marked
)ility as a manager of. this enter ise.
Dr. Carter was married to Miss
udge Catherine Summers, the daugh
r of Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Summers of
gwberry, and to this happy couple
as born one child, Billie. Dr. Carter
as at all times absolutely devoted to
s wife and child and his hqme was
i ideal one. He was a Mason anc|
ok great interest in the work of Ma-I
nry. His father and mother died
veral years ago when Dr. Carter was
mere child. He graduated1 from Newrry
college and the Atlanta Phar-1
aceutical college. He was the only i
larmacist in McCormick and will be;
issed no little by the hundreds of
ople who were his customers. '
Dr. Carter is survived by his wife,'
rs. W. C. Carter and little ten
anths old son Billie, besides a host
friends and relatives who mourn
eir loss.

NINE MEET DEATH.
j
Huge of Molasses Blown Up.
About Fifty Injured By the Explosion.
I
I Boston. 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.

For 12 years William P. Bennett
was foreman at the Brooklyn navy
yard, Uncle Sam's hive of industry
ofr the nation's defense, wrere thousands
of skilled workmen toil at the
nation's vital work. It was from the
ways of this great yard that some of
our greatest dreadnaughts were
launched. Mr. Eennett had a part i.i.
this work and there he saw the evo-j
lution of the American navy worked j
out. Today Mr. Bennett, aged 68, is j
retired, living at 600 Gates Ave, i
Brooklyn.''He is still tre concert

navy yard day's, and so the story be j
recently told will have added force j
"For a long time," Mr. Bennett ex-;
plained, "I kept having a pain in my j
