Since the Act providing an addition levy of one mill for the rural free schools there has been considerable comment, many not - utiderstanding what the original '.iatention was to have the one mill levy; in order to understand it we might say there area num ber of counties in this State which cannot raise enougn funds to conduct their rural schools more than three or four months in the year, and many more -which are unable to run more than five months, therefore the purpose was to help such coun ties. There are a number of counties which have a sufficient property because of manufacur mg industries and railroads, a dispensary and other means of raisin money to put- into their reasuries. more than enough money than is needed for school purposes, and in order to get help from such counties to help the'weak ones the one- Hill levy was asked for, not only by the Governor but by the State Sup erintendent of Education, and -the several county superinten dents of the State. A Bill was introduced but on investigation it was thought that for the pres ent, it would be well to allow from this one mill levy the amounts already provided for by the Acts or 1910, i, 12,and the restto go into' the treasury tn be disbursed by the counties in such schools as are in need for school houses, the extending of the school term, and to aid the high schools in rural towns where the population does not exceed 2,500 The bill passed the House as the Mitchell Bill n the Senate it was amend e such a manner that the n se for which it was origi Sintended was robbed of its S ,and instead of the weak counties geting any aid as was * contemplated, the- only aid they can get is from the tax levied upon them by the one mill, not * one cent do they get from. the * strong counties. As it is, 50 per cent of the levy collected in a county remains in the county, and the other-$0 per cent goes towards paying what it can to meet the provisions of the Acts -of 1910, 11, 12. Therefore it will be seen how the 'Governor and the State Superintendent are disappointed by the action ofthe legislature, ,and why it was that His Excellency woald not approve the Act. The veto message was read and when it came to sy whether or not it should be passed over his- 'ato -several Senators admitted they were not getting wh -t was want * ed and some acknowledged the~y had made a mistake. but inas much as the appropriation Bill had already passed they were afraid to sustain the Governor -: because it might have the effezt of making the provisions of the Acts 1910, 11, 12, ineffective, and there would be nothing avaiia ble this year for the higli schools etc., therefore under the circum stances they woula vote the Act over the veto, notwithstanding they agree with him that the Act does not do what they had hoped, or give the relief from the rich counties so sadly needed. The following is the Gov ernor's message: MESsAGE No. 54. The State of South Carolina, Ex ecutive Department. Gentlemen of the House of Rep resentatives: * I return to you herewith, with out my signature, Act No. 237 (H. B. 233, S. 504) "To levy and collect a one-mill State tax for the free public schools and pro. vide for the distribution of tbe same"' - Gentlemen, I have seen a great anany abortions in legislation, but this is the worse of them all -this is the chief all the sinners yet born. Section 1 is beautiful. but it is a deceiver of deceivers. and, after we pass it, God save the mark and the name of the title. In the first place, any county. yea, even any school district, can now vote itself a special school levy, without the consent of your highnesses and that of yo'ur lord chiefs at the other end of the capitol. Therefore, the half of the one mill levy for the county board fund is of absolute ly no consequence and of no ser vice. As for the other, it is a very serious question, if you will make a close calculation, if the half of the one-mill levy provided for disposal by the State Board of Education will meet the appro priations that you provide it shall meet, and when you have left out one of the most impor tant features, which is, or was, the $30,000 to be used for the applications, building applica- ! tions and term extension applica- c tions now on file in the ofice of it the State Superintendent of Ed- t ucation for the fiscal year 1912, u and your little joker, added at' t the end, "any additional fund at i the disposal of the State Board" c -gentlemen, if there is a man in either of your branches who would take a slate and pencil and < add up the figures stated in your 1 Bill he would easily see that there ( would not only be any additional < funds, but there would be deficit. < If 1 did not have the Bill before a me, I could not conceive of such 1 ' make shift, and I cannot con- r ceive of its purpose, unless it is r on behalf of some astute politic J ians to keep it from appearing 1 that the present Governor had a succeeded in doing something for 1 the free public schools, and to 1 deprive him of the little credit < which he might have got if he 1 bad been able to carry through ] his recommendation for a one mill levy for the free public schools, in order to help the lit- 1 tie country children and the lit tle factory children of South Car- 1 olina. 1 Gentlemen, read this Bill; de- 1 liberate over it; think about it, < and, after you have finished, if there is a man in the General As 1 sembly who calls himself a states man, who had any part whatever in bringing about this abortion. : and still regards it as a measure which will be of benefit to the free public schools and to the 1 little county and factory boys and 4 girls, let him present bimself at my office, for I would like to look upon him, and would like to re ward him. I pleaded with you, gentlemen, asking for this one- mill tax-not 1 for myself, for I have no chi!. c dren, and if I had, I would, thank God, be able to educate them without depending on a free pun- i lic school or a State levy-but I < did it for the mothers who are 1 praying, for the fathers iwho are j hoping for the welfare of their f children, and for the future of a the State. After the Mitchell 1 Bill, as it was termed, passed the < House, I had a conference with the State Superintendent of Ed ucation, and agreed upon a com promise, w* 'ch I felt would still t carry out sat I was urging for the relief of the needy schools. E This was offered in the Senate I as an amendment-the amend x ment which might be termed the 1 Appelt amendment, coming from 1 the Finance Committee, and I felt surely there would be no I further trouble in having the de 1 mands of justice met. But, gen tlemen, you have turned a deaf ear. But you have not turned a deaf ear to your higher institu tions of learning. For them you have made extravagant appro priations, and for them you bave lavished money for useless pur poses. If the game of politics is to be played at the expense of the ed ucation of the little children of this State, God save the State.] Yea, more, if to keep them in ig norance in order to keep from giving credit to one whbo is try I ing to help them is the purpose of some would be statesmen, then God grant that the people may rise in their might in their next election and smite such states men bip and thigh; for if this be your idea of helping the poor lit tle country children and the lit te factory children to get an edt ucation, then I would ask you, i when you go home, to call your i own children around you, and in your prayers, a-s you lav them in j their little beds. to ask God that i other people may do by your t1 children as you here att-mnpt tof do by the little ones of other peo pe, who are not able to educat' their little ones. and are looidng to their State for help. Anu when you shall have done this, and l-ay your he-ids upon your pillows, I hope that your sleep may not be diseurbed by any via on of the dark cloud-of ignorance. overing -over your own littue ones. as you are permitting this1 cloud to remain and to darken over the little ones of others who are helpless. Gentlemen. 1 have done what 1 could. I could do no more. Very respectfully,. COLE L. BLEASE-, GoverI-nor. S THE WEBB ACT. There was much woe in this section of the country when it was learned that the express company issued an order to its agents not to deliver any whis kep nor to receive for- shipment any liquor. It was the. general( impression that the Webb Act, 1 which was made 'into law not withstanding the President's veto, would not go into effect t until July 1st. but the express companies took a different view a and would not take any chances E with Uncle Sam. therefore. they r gave the order to not receive or 5 deliver- There is a wide differ- I ence of opinion as to wvhat the r Act does mean, even the author I of the Act, Congressman Webb, of North Carolina, seems to have 1 the opinion that liquor can be I shipped for personal use. and ( Senator Tillman is also of the ; opinion that the Act does not af- t fet the shipment of liquor to t private parties in South Caro- f lina. Nevertheless, as long as t there is doubt about the matter t the express companies are not 3 going to take any chances of I violating the law, even though there does not seema to be any t penalty named in the Act. I Until the courts have had an s opportunity to make a final de- 1 cision there will continue to be a confusion with regard to this la w. The President of the United ( States, who is acknowledged to be a tine lawyer, and the Attor- I ney General agree that the Webb 3 pct is unconstitutional, this alone reates a doubt in the mind of he public, and it vill continue o be a subject for discussion intil the courts of last resort set le it. the sooner it is done the >etter it will be for the entire ountry. Chief Justice Gary, of the outh Carolina Supreme Court, >n last Saturday, on mandamus roceedings brought by a Mr. .ollicatt, of Columbia, issued an rder to the express company re iring it to deliver whiskey to .11 individuals in the State until he case has been finally deter nined by the United States. This uling of South Carolina's Chief fustice will no doubt be taken up ,o the Federal court and hasten 6 decision. In accordance with he order of Chief Justice Gary be express company issued an >ther order permitting its agents o deliver to the individuals the iquor is consigned to. There is this much sure, if the Webb Act is held to be consti utional it will give to the dry tates practical prohibition, and ;e effect will be to win over to he cause many who h ave here ofore opposed prohibition be ause they believed it was im )ractical and only playing into he hands of the mail order liq for concerns. The full text of the law is as ollows: - "Be it enacted by the senate nd house of representatives of he United States of America in ,ongress assembled, That the ;hipment of transportation in Lny manner or by any means vhatsoever of any spirituous, rinous, malted, fermented or >ther intoxicating liquor of any rind from one state. territory or listrict of the United States or lace noncontiguous to but sub ect to the jurisdiction thereof nto any other state, territory or listrict of the United States or )lace noncontiguous to but sub ect to the jurisdiction thereof or rom any foreign country into ny state, territory or district of he United States or place non ontiguous to but subject to the urisdiction thereof. which said pirituous vinous, malted, fer nented or other intoxicating liq or is intended .by any person nterested therein, to be receiv ;d, possessed, sold or in any nanner used either in original >ckage or otherwise, in viola ion of any law of such State, erritory or district of the United tates or place noncontiguous to )ut subject to the jurisdiction hereof, is hereby prohibited." IM PADGETT FOR COlGRESS ASPIRES TO SUCCEED THlE LATE CONGRESSMAN LEGUARE. 1RN AND REARED ON A FARM arly Life Spent ina Humble Circum. stances, Rising by Ability and Energy. [Political Advertisement.] Col. James Graham Padgett is product of Colleton County. He s proud of that fact. Born in a 4x14 log cabin on Beef Branch n 1869, he has lived amongst his ome people for forty- tbree ears and has won and kept hir confilience and esteem. He proud of that fact too. He is eson-of C~apt. H. D. Padgett, COL. J. G. PADGETT, CANsIDATE. FoR CONGRESS. x Clerk of Court of Colleton ounty and his mother, before ier' marriage to (apt. Padgett, tas Miss Isabella Goodwin. Col. Padgett's boyhood was hat of other boys whose parents who were poor. His youth was pent at work on a farm and h njoyed none of the pleasures Or advantages of life in a town. The intermittent schooling wtiich is work on his father's farm per aitted, was gotten around Wil Lams. His father, being unable topay mis way through college, in 1888 e won a scholarship to the ~itadel over 15 competitors and raduated from that college in he Class of 1892. Col. Padgett as always enjoyed that happy aculty of making friends, and o a man, his schoolmates, as a oy and his college mates as a oung man have stuck by him. Ie is proud of that fact, too. As a beneficiary of the State, e law required him to teach nr a time in its public schools. o immediately upon graduation *e came back to his home county d taught at St. George, which :as then a part of Colleton ou nty. After teaching at St. George e studied law u.nder Howell, lunhy andi- Farrow until the dissolution of that firm, when be continued his studies under Howell & Gruber. In 1895 he was was admitted to the Bar and formed a partnership with the lamented J. S. Griffin for the practice of his profession at Walterboro. In 1.897 he married Miss Ethel Moorer, daughter of Dr. Pinck ney L. and Martha H. Moorer, of St. George. St. George was yet a part of Colleton County. It is an interesting fact that his wife was his former pupil. By his sheer ability, as a law yer, his keen insight into human nature and a fortunate trait which causes him to make his clients cause his own and fight for him to the last ditch; he has risen to the top of his profession at his home bar, and has always enjoyed an extensive practice. A man need not be rich to secure his services. Those who know him best, know that his services are for all. Some of his hardest fights have been made for the poor without compensation. There is scarcely a case in court in which his services are not en gaged as counsel of the oppos ing parties, and he has, perhaps defended more criminals than any other'lawyer in the lower part of South Carolina, being re markably successful. At present he is a county attorney and the senior member of the firm of Padgett, Lemacks & Moorer. Col. Padgett has always taken a keen interest in all public affairs and subscribed liberally thereto. He has served as a school trustee, an officer of the Fair Association, chairman of the Board of Stewards and a trustee of the Methodist church at Walterboro, an alternate to the Democratic Convention at Baltimore, a colonel on the stafl of Governar D. C. Heyward, and in 1912 he was elected by the Democrats of the State as a presidential elector. As presi dent of the electoral college, he east his vote for Woodrow Wil son for President of the United States. Colonel Padgett is a iell rounded. capable man of exper ience, and as a congressman would reflect credit on the dis trict. He 'understands the needs of the rural districts as well as that of the towns and cities. Being of poor parentage and raised on the farm to work, he perhaps better understands, and sympathizes with the farmer more than any other man in the race. He has never lost his in terest in that life, and for- a number of years back, has run a thrpe-horse farm near Walter boro and made money at it, too. He believes that more attention should be given by Congress to the rural life of the nation, to drainage, to post roads, and to the protection of the products of the farm, and if he is sent to Congress, he intends to bend his fighting energies in that direc tion. Jim Padgett's fortune is in his friends, and he has numbers of them in Colleton and other counties who wish him well. There is scarcely another man in the district out of public life who is known so well. In Col leton county he knows by name almost every man. He is proud of his friends more than of all his other possessions. 3. M. M Catarrh Caninot be Cured with LOCAL APPLICAIONS, as they cannot reach the seat of the disease.

FARMING. Since 1894 I have been actively engaged in planting on comparatively large scale, and I think that I feel and realize th needs and requirements of the agricultural interests of our DiE trict. DRAINAGE. Our section of the State is particularly fertile, a large poi tion being covered with swamp land. The government has ex pended enormous sums of money to irrigate the arid lands of th West; my effort will be to endeavor to divert some of that mone; to drain the lands of our District. The health and prosperity c our District is dependent in no small degree upon the removal c the stagnant waters which breed disease and lesson the value c our property. As a member of the Sanitary and Drainage Corr mission of Charleston County. which has bad charge of this worn I am well acquainted by practical experience with the benefit which have accrued to that portion of Charleston County in whic] we have been able to operate. ROADS. Of primal importance to the man who lives away from th city is the subject of Roads. The a.bility to haul and move the prc ducts of the farm with ease and quickness adds much to the valu of the land and the income of the individual. National aid shoul be given this subject. .ORGANIZED LABORI The right of the working man to co nbine for his own bene Mr. Whaley As Friends See Him- CONDIDA TE I IPolitical Advertisementl Since the i5th day of Januar. 190L. when Richard S. Whbaley entered the service of the State of South Carolina as5 a repesen tative in its General Assembly. from Charleston County. he has been a prominent factor in the ' ' affairs of the State. His activit . his recognized ability and his capacity for making friends is evidenced by ti record he made for himself a he eleven years of service in Li. iouse of / Representatives. -After a single~ term he was appointed chaiirmn '-~ of the most powerful commwittee, '"~~ namely. the Committee on Judi ciary, a post which comes to~ -~ the ordinary legislator only after . many years of service in the! ranks of that committee. A f; wr four years as chairman of tha t committee Mr. Whaley was chosen Speaker of the House in .a contest with four men rfrom the upper sections of the State, at a time when Charleston was politically almost severed from the rest ofthe State. Mr. Whale'. was the first Speaker from t he lower parts of South Carolina in 17 years, and a most notable fea ture of his term of office was the success which marked his erfiort to remove the feeling of hostil ity towards the Low Country which existed at the time. And yet, this was accomplished with RICHARD out sacrificing the interests of the Costal Counties. For a reference to, hiis commiittte a ppoinitmfen will show that every important Ccmmttee~ under Mr. Whaley'1 Speakership contains a good percentage of members representmnt the Coastal and Pee Dee counties. In 1910, for business reasons, Mr. Whaley did not stand fo] reelection, but in 1912 he again entered the pri m ar.y as a candi date for membership in the House of Representatives. Thle a1ppre~ ciation of his home people for his services is well shown by the fact that with twenty candidates in the race he was elected mn the first primary with more than 600 votes to sp)are, receivinig the highest number of votes of any candidate in the race eXcept onle whom all factions of the Democratic p)arty su pported. TJpon iis re-entry into the House of Representatives the mnen who had serv ed with him in former years testitied to their aporeciation of his fairness and ability by creating by special rule the otiice of Speaker PRO TEMPORE. and by unanimous vote of the House chose him for this honorable position. A review of Mr. Whaley's work in the legislature would be lengthy and is unnecessary. His achievements have been many and material. What he has done is a matter of record and an examina tion of this will show that he has consistently been a friend of the farmer and of the laboring man. Referring solely to the recent session of the Legislature, his activity and interest in the cause of good roads and of drainage will be testified to by every one in~ terested in this movement in Charleston County and is further snown by the special two mill Goodruads T1ax levy for Charleston County and by the Whaley Bill for a state Highway Commission.
