Our peo ple have been very careless in regard to this most important matter, and I here and now call-upon you and urge all trustees to use their authority and the utmost diligence to prevent the employment of such persona.’* p r The soft drink tax was characteris ed as an emergency measure which should not be retained as a permanent proposition unless the state adopts a general sales tax plan, the governor adding that at present he was not pre pared to favor a general sales tax. A 20 per cent levy, the amount of the present soft drinks tax, was pronounc ed “confiscatory." Describing the present as being marked by “a more general disre gard for law and its sacred majesty” than any other in his knowledge since the reconstruction era. Governor Rich ards declared “one of the fundamental reasons b to be found in the fact that men in high and responsible positions, both in the state and nation, are known to be law-breakers.” “How are we to expect observance of law if our law-makers are them selves violators," he demanded, “and how can we hope for respect and sa cred reverence for law if it b to be en forced and construed and administer ed by governors, judges and solicitors who themselves are law-breakers?” Expressing his appreciation of the vote by which he was elected as the first governor of the state with a four-year term of office, the governor continued: “I do not-regard it as a mere personal tribute but rather as an expression of approval, and endorse ment of the platform of principles which I submitted and which I dis cussed throughout South Carolina last summer.” Before concluding, the chief execu tive addressed the members of the leg islature with a direct plea for support. “I appeal to you, gentlemen of the general assembly, that you uphold my hands, that you cooperate with me in the redemption of the pledges I have made. These pledges are not mine alone; they have been endorsed by and are the solemn demand of the peo ple of our state.” An earnest request for liberal treat ment for the few surviving Confeder ate veterans was placed before the law-makers by Governor Richards who paid high tribute to the veterans. In his inaugural, he did not go into details of his program for reforms in the.state government, announcing that he would send special messages from time to time to “submit the righteous demands of the people of South Caro lina." Besides abolition of the tax commis sion, the board of public welfare and the budget commission, the governor recommended doing away with the of fices of county game wardens, and consolidation of the warehouse com mission with the department of agri culture. A thorough investigation and “re organization” of the highway depart ment was advocated, along with abo lition of the motor vehicle title law, and legislation to proride for the sale of automobile plates at the county seats. __ The duties of the tax commission would be devolved, under the program proposed, upon the comptroller gener al and the state treasurer. The child placing bureau of the board of public welfare would be made a part of the state health department, while tho functions of the budget commission would revert to the agencies that per formed them before it was created. Governor Richards placed himself on record as favoring the continued progress of the state, referring to its achievements of the last twenty years as being unsurpassed, but cautioned that the welfare of the individual must not be overlooked. The present situa tion, due to a depression of more than $30,000,000 in thd value of the cotton crop alone, was described as serious but the governor predicted the state would meet the test. SPENCER HEAD FOURTH TIME Succeeds Four President of Presbyte rian College. Came To Clinton 35 Years Ago. Career In Brief. Dr. Almon E. Spencer, who recently took up the reins as president of Pres byterian college, ia filling this office for the fourth time during his thirty- five years as professor in too insti tution. The story of Dr. Spencer’s life is an almost romantic sketch of splendid achievement. Born at Tuskegee, Ala., he came to Clinton as a very young man, having taught for two years in Spartanburg county after his gradu ation from Central university, at Dan ville, Ky., now known ns Center col lege. When Dr. Spencer came to P. C., the college was hardly more than a prep school, and there was only a handful of students in the enrollment. At that time, the State university bad only forty students, and the great in- ing the late President Melton of the S{ate University. He has always been deeply respected and loved by the students, and at a recent ballot cast by the student body, he was found to be the most popular of P. C/s professors. Scholarship, too, is present with us as long as this teacher is connected with the .institution. Dr. Spencer is widely known for bis abilities as a Greek scholar, and lye is also profi cient in the French tongue.

TO BEGIN SOON The young school-teacher received a salary during his first year of teach ing that hardly amounted to three hundred dollars a year, yet with the characteristic optimism of youth, and almost unbelievable faith in the fu ture, he married in that first year. His faith in P. C/s future was justi fied, and in a few years great pro gress had been brought about. In 1897, Dr. Spencer received his M. A. degree from Center, and took over the office of president, which he held until 1904, when he resigned in favor of Dr. W. G. Neville, as the col lege was then under the care of the Synod at that time. He was then elected vice-president of the institu tion. : For eight months he was again at the head of the college, as death called the faithful Dr. Neville, at the end of which time, he was relieved by Dr. Robert Adams. The latter resigned in 1910, and for the third time, Dr. Spencer was called upon, this time to >erve for something over a year. Then came Dr. Davison McDowell Douglas, and Dr. Douglas was leader until 1927. So men came and went, youths pass ed out of the halls of P. C. and re turned many years later as venerable alumni, yet the great man remains, his soul linked with the very desti nies of the college, and his life given over to the welfare of that institution where he knew his efforts were most fruitful. Dr. Spencer is known also as one of the most efficient laymen in the Southern Presbyterian Church. He has been moderator of the Synod of South Carolina, an honor conferred upon only two other laymen, one be- Clmton Building and Loan Association To Open Fifth Series Feb. 15. Re- ( markable Growth H Shoqsu Elsewhere in this issue 11 will be found an advertisement announcing the op ening of a hew series (the 5th) in one of Clinton’s strong financial institu tions, the Clinton Building and Loan Association. The advertisement is in teresting in that it features the with drawal privilege offered by the asso ciation, whereby a large number of Clintonians have found financial aid during a period of adversity. The association is an exceptionally strong one, having grown very rapidly since its organization. The financial statement recently submitted to the directors brings to light some very in teresting data concerning the associa tion’s activities, and the officers and directors are to be congratulated on the rapid progress made and upon the very valuable service rendered the city of Clinton during the past two and one-half years by their progres sive organization. The report shows that $202,741.00 has been loaned within the two and one-half years of its existence; 64 loans have been made; $140,500.00 has been borrowed by the association; 62 buildings have been financed. The net assets of the association are $62,- 241.00. The monthly income is $4,- 048.16. The association boasts of 5430 shares in force, par value $100.06 each, total $543,000.00. Total number of subscribers 277, a remarkable showing for such a short time. WRHBH - ai- ASSESSOR’S NOTIfcE ? Hw'County Auditor’s office at Lau- S.
