All records and reports of the State De partments and Institutions are now made on 4the fiscal year basis aiu) there is such uniformity that the auditing and understanding of the re ports is simplified. But the greatest advantage of the change in the fiscal year, aside frpm the advantage of saving money, is that it affords to the schools of South Carolina a reasonable and business like system of State aid. Under the old system the State did not appro priate its school aid until toward the end of the School year. The result was that the school districts of the State had to borrow money all dur ing the first six or eight months of their school term, expecting to be re paid late in the Spring after the ap propriation had been made. I re member that when I used to teach school, the State aid usually did not come until May. And in order to get the money then, the State had to borrow Three and a Half Million Dol lars and pay interest on its notes until the following Spring. The new school bill that was passed last year and the change of the fiscal year, working together, have brought it about that the schools of the State receive their State aid monthly in the beginning of the school year and as it progresses in September, October, November, December and January, as I thft salaries of the teachers come due and have to be paid; therefore the School Districts are free from the 1 necessity of borrowing money and can j know in advance the amount that they j will receive. And most important of j all, instead of getting a promise or ; a note, the teachers get their pay in j cash. j One very important result of this change in method of State aid for schools and the change of the fiscal year is the great saving in interest charges. During the live-year per iod 1929 to 1933, the general funds of the State was called on to pay in I terest fn the total amount of $1,877, 707.29, all being interest paid on cur- I rent financing of the State. In none of those years did th? State general fund borrow less than $-1,000,000.00 1 in anticipation of collection of taxes. By July 1st, of this year, the State will have paid off all these old cur rent notrts, with the exception of about $1,-100,000.00. During the next fiscal year it will not be necessary for the State to borrow except in neg ligible amounts and upon very short terms. As a matter of fact, after July 1st the State will he very nearly on a -cash basis, and if the policies you have instituted are continued hereafter, by the end of the next fis cal year it will not be necessary for the State to borrow any money for jits current operating demands. In addition to saving interest by ?not having to borrow the money, wo are saving interest because the State Budget has been balanced and im proving the credit of the State, so that we can obtain accommodations at a reduced rate. I am sure you remember that two years ago the State could borrow money from no one until finally the Peconstruction . Finance Corporation agreed to pro- j vide the funds with which to pay State Aid for schools. Even then, the State of South Carolina was forced to pay ft per cent interest. Last year, the State could not borrow money from any financial institution. The result was that it found itself forced to borrow from the School Districts and the fK-hool teachers by the issuance of tho so-called Teach ers' Notes, at the rate of f> per cent. Consider the situation now. We have not only paid off a great part of our current State notes, but have just passed through both houses a bill in troduced by tho Ways and Means Committee, providing for the refin ancing of outstanding teachers' notes, and R. F. C. notes at 1-2 per cent interest rate. Thi? will mean a sav ing to the State of South Carolina of $50,000.00 in interest. In my opin ion this saving can bo directly trhced to our change in tho fiscal year and our bnljineintf of the budget of the State, and om instituting a system of executive budget control of tho ox "pendmiros of the State Government. These accomplishments have been had run a deficit for that year of $1, Lov'me Face Powder Enhances Every Skin A million women every day prove in imitable Lov'me delicately emphasizes every natural beauty ? conceals every de fect.

It had to do this in the face of a reduction of '1 1-2 mills in the state levy for general purposes. And it has done this and at. the same ? time has reduced the school property levy to the extent of -1 mills. In the performance of these duties, I know we have* all suffered many unpleasant experiences. In this con nection 1 wish to say that I am re minded of the statement, I think, of Aeneas, when lie said "Someday it will give us pleasure to have remem bered even this." I want to say to the House that the Ways and Means Committee is a fine ?group of patriotic gentlemen who have cooperated with each other and ! with me in doing what we could for [the state. I want to thank from the l bottom of my heart, each and every ; one. We have not done all that we should have done by any means. Our failures have probably been as out standing as our accomplishments. The net result of it all is ;!ur the finances of the slate have be* "i so I changed thru the activities of this 1 general assembly that instea<!

We have made la gnnd start and 1 d<> think in all > sincerity and honesty that this gen j eral assembly has c.u> .-i.'n: iously tried to serve the state of S. u:h Car olina without fear. A few days ago, one afternoon when the t. < u-o was not in session, I came in'.o the house with Dr. Wallace, of Wofford Col lege, to examine the Maco of the House, which as you kno\v,r is the symbol of the dignity and authority of the people of the state. I ha<ijp never examined it before, but he pointed out to me the engraving of the seal of the colony granted in 1721 by the King of England. On it is engraved the following in Latin: 'l'ropius res a spice nostram," which can bo translated "Look carefully af ter our affairs." I think those words apply to the house. Coming from the symbol of the authority of the state, wo can take those words as an admo | nition from the people of the state: i "Look carefully after the affair* of the state." This general assembly has performed as best it could that obligation. * Do they torture you by day? Keep you awake at niaht? "What is it that keeps hospitals open and doctors busy? NERVES.
