Mi Cliftlrrann Knd i'? ii>?w ( 'iii/,?-ns : This u life tl;'*t tllll# In my 1 1 f?' to offer my service* to the j?eoplo of South Carolina. 1 uin Khul to live in a country when* the hutnhV? eltljten may offer himself for the highest and most i in i u >|- 1 >i 1 1 1 odJce, The position of governor of a State l.J more'lmportaut. to the |H>op|t? of the State than any otlwr otllee. Tin' constitution under which wo Live make's the KOjveru<)fe"the supreme executive authority" of the Stale. It jtlso provides that "lie shall take ca re thaf th'e laws lie faithfully executed III mercy." He has power to "mailt reprieves, commutations and pardons, except In cuiii's of impeach* inent, in such manner, on such termn, ami under such restrictions an lie shall deem projier." Also, that the "gover nor shall, from time to time, give to the Ken oral assembly information of the condition of the State, and recom mend for its consideration such meas ures as/lie shall deem necessary and expedient." In Jirlef, the welfare, the happiness and the material prosperity of the State rest in no small degree, In the hands of the chief executive. Such helm; the scope of the duty and aulhorlty of a chief magistrate, the selection of one to this high otllce is a .matter of very great Importance. If I am not jnlstaken, It was Thomas Jef jfCftfMl, the ureal Democrat, who said that In a republican" form of govern ment like ours, the honest voter, when called upon to select, one to till 1111 of tlce, should ask himself three ques tions: 1st. Is 1>0 Competent v '2nd. Is ho worthy? ami Hrd. Will ho ho faithful V It is upon these grounds that I would place uiy candidacy fur 'this great ollloo, t ho greatest in the gift of the- people i qt niy native State. And let mo say hero and now that I sin cerely trust that during tho campaign upon which wo today enter, it will he the controlling purpose of each and ev ery candidate to he measured by the people of the State upon the basis of his fitness fur the public service". I would refuse to accept any oflice at tho hands of my peonle niton any oth er ground than my individual quallfl cations for service in the particular office sought. If it shall be my good fortune to be nominated governor of this State in the approaching primary, it will be my constant desire to ren der to the people, of thfs State the best service that is in me. I do not suppose that there . is a candidate before the people of South Carolina today who will not readily concede that the most important ques tion before the people of the State, and the one who will continue to be of most importance, is that of provid ing facilities for the education of our boys and girls. We . should bear in mind that a great majority of the chil dren of this State will receive only such education as is provided by their local schools. Such being the case, it Is, and ought to be the i>ollcy of the State to raise the standard of these schools until they provide the very best that can be ha<l. ? It is a sad com mentary on our State today, but it is nevertheless true, so I am Informed, that we can not acomodate in our schools the white children of the State who ought to l?e In school. I believe that the State should ?t once take the necessary steps to provide ample fa cilities for the education of our white children, and then we will be in the position, if necessary, to enact and en force a compulsory school attendance law. It Is the duty of State to provide its children equal opportuni ties, and it is tho right of every child to have an equal chance, with every other. Another matter which should have the earnest and painstaking attention of our legislative department is our present system of taxation. It is im possible oil this occasion to go fully .into a discussion on this matter, but as the campaign progresses, I hope to elaborate my views in this regard. It seems to mo that some plan can and should be 'devised- by which we can, approximately at least, secure a more just and equal assessment of our prop erty for taxation. Every honest man is willing to l>oar liis pro rata share of the burdens of government. He ought not to expect less; and he should not bo required to do more. I do not Hupi>ose there is a man in this audience who does not fully real ize that another one of the most im portant matters which should engage our attention at thls time as that of improving our public highways. Cer tainly nothing can l>e of more mate rial benefit to our farming population. The farmer's transi>ortation tax is, and has l?oen for a long time, one of Ws chief difficulties. Tho furnishing of good roads will not only enhance the value of farm property and add to the comfort and conveniences of farm life, but will increase the prosperity of the State in all lines. It is useless, how ever, to advocate the furnishing of bet ter highway** ,and at the same time vote a reduction in taxes, because, my friends* tt Is going to cost money to have Improved y highways.
