sonal dependence upon Him, should be
employed in any of the colleges or
public sschoob of our state. 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. In lj)14,
Centre college, honored him with the

degree:

stitutions of Clemson and Winthrop I NEW SERIES
had not come into existence. ! 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.
