A Gorman coiniuoroe sea raider has been working havoc in the Atlantic ocean on entente alllQd shipping. Be tween the ^/.orc lslamt^, ami South America during the period from l>e camber l'J to January at leant 1H vessels ? ton British stea mors, a Jap anese steamer and two French sailing craft? were captured by the raider, and It is presumed that most of them were sunk. The British admiralty assumes that eight of the British steamers and the two French sailing vessels, all of them long overdue and some of them known to have been loaded with arms, am munition, horses and other war .sup plies for the entente allies, have heei^ sunk by the raider. The Japanese steamer was released by the raider off the coast of Ilrazll and permitted to land at Pernarabuca ii.'i 7 men of crews of vessels destroyed, One of the British steamers is said to have beeu sent ? away by the raider with 400 more men to be luuded, hut up to the present no advices o| her having reached ix>rt have been receiv ed. Thufrwherea bouts of the raider is not known. The ltrltish trcops in France have hit the Oorman line hard at two places for gwd gains according to the latest British communication. Northeast of Cite Cajonne the Cana dians carried out a brilliant raid of German trenches on a front of 700 yards and penetrated the i>ositlons to a depth of BOO yards to the German second Hue. T|ie German dugouts were completely wrecked and 100 men were made prisoner The Germans suf fered heavy casualties. At Beaucourt Sur Ancre another drive by the British gave them German positions over a front of 600 yards, which they held despite a counterat tack in which the Germans lost heav ily under the British barrage lire. The Russians. In a vigorous attack, have recapture,! the village of Vadeni, six miles southwest of the important Danuhian town of Gatatz, according to Petrograd. and ?reoulsed with heavy casual tie-: :i Teutonic allied counterat tack. The Teutonic lilies were also driven out of the village of ?. cries*:?. i, near the mouth of the liiminik river, hut later the Russians weiv compelled to withdraw in the fa;v of superior forces. The Berlin war office admits the' Field Marshal von Maekenseu's Turk ish advance posts near Vadeni were withdrawn, but makes no mention of the evacuation of the village. In the Kaslno and Suchitza valleys the Rus sians still are vigorously on the off en- ? sive and at one point have succeeded in gaining a footiug on a ]>eak. Kvery- j where else they were repulsed with ? sanguinary losses. Berlin reports that near Stnorgon. ! which lies ou_ the railroad between i Vlhia and Minsk, the Russians after j heavy artillery preparation attacked i and penetrated the German lines oni ?? narrow front, but later were driven ! out. leaving the battlefield covered ! with Russian dead. In Gallcla near i the Zborow-Zlochoff railway the (Jer- j mans are carrying out an intensive In- i fantry fire against the Russians. in the other theatres mere have been no important battles, the operations j still consisting of artillery duels and engagements between small parties. | Death.

Manning today on taking the oath of at l ho beginning of ids wtH*<?n?l ti*ru) as Governor wax notable for its recouu ambulations. The < lovernor re viewed wITh a good deal of pride tho legislative aiul administrative reforms which 1m vo been effected, during the past two years ami urged upon the Gen eral Assembly many changes necessary in his opinion to carrying forward the policies to which his administration has been committed. (lovernor Manning began bis address by declaring that when he took office two years ago it was with the commis sion of the people to enforce the laws of the State and that his re-election last summer was an endorsement of the manner in which the laws had been 1 enforced and also of the other achieve ments of his administration. "With all my powers," lie said "I endeavored to an force the law. The pledge that 1 made two years ago has; been perform ed, oud today I renew it absolutely ami in its entirety." Hon^e of the things to which Go\ ernor planning committed himself in his address today were : Kxtemdon of fie educational facili ties of the state, especially the im provement of the public school facili ties." A tax on liquor shipped into the Stat?\ the money thus raised to he used in the enforcement of the law. Power to be lodged in the Governor to suspend or remove sheriffs and other officers for Incapacity, misconduct or neglect of duty. A constitutional amendment giving the General Assembly greater latitude in tax matters. ' 'i.A commission on economy and ef ficiency to be composed of live mem bers and which would codify the laws dealing with the various departments of the State government so as to de fine the powers and duties of each, thus eliminating the duplication of ef fort which now exists, and which would also report on the practicability and advisability of a budget system. Four-year terms for public ofliclals the Governor and Lieutenant Governor! $o l?o Ineligible for reelection. 1 biennial sessions of the legislature. Strengthening the supervisory jm>w ers of the Hoard of Charities and Cor rections and relle\lng that body of ad ministrative functions as Tar as jm?s sib)e._ Requiring all State institutions to submit detailed statements to the Hoard of Charities and Corrections In advance of the meeting of the I/Cgis laturc as to their financial require ments, the board to report on these statements. (living the board of Charities and Corrections of certain authority in the selection of sites for State Institu tions. Empowering the Governor to trans fer to the state Penitentiary any in mate of any county jail or chain gang who is not being treated humanely. Abolition of the county chain gangs and the laws creating and governing the contract lease system and the nse of convicts in State convict road camps under State control and supervision, after the plan which Virginia has had for ten years. ' Limiting tine pardoning power of the Governor to action upon the rec ommendation of the board of pardons. The placing of the reformatory for negro boys under the control of the trustees of the South Carolina indus trial school. Doing away with county almshouses and the creation of district houses for the aged-infirm and general hos pitals for the poor. A state training school for the fee ble minded. Military training in schools and col leges, the Governor declaring: "I l>e llevo that the time has come when military training should l>e universal and that our young men between the ages of 19 and 22 should have that training, which would fit them for service." The result* obtained In the high sctfool at Sumter are Instanced as proving the practicability and use fulness of such Instruction. The Governor Affiyn tribute to the men from South Carolina who have died on the border: Chaplain It. C. j Jeter, of the First regiment; Segt. J. I. Blalock, Company E. Find infan try 5 Private C. N. Stroman, Company M. Second infantry ; Private Preston T. Wilson, Company H. second infan try, and Sergt. Itobert E. Gonzales, Machine Gun Company Second Infan try. In conclusion the Governor refers to the efforts to bring one of the ni trate fixation plants to Columbia and vrtH forth Columbia's claim* in con" vincing manner. He urges the people of South Carolina to "turn their backs on past dissensions and bitterness ? to be a forward-looking people." On the subject of a tax on liquor the Governor's statement was as fol lows : "Permit me to say, viewing the ac complishment of the past two years we should, from experience gained, strengthen certain of these laws rather than devote ourselves to new and radical departures In legislation. "The difficulties of strengthening our liquor laws have been in a large/ measure fe^jored by the recent de cision of the Supreme Court of the United States, sustainiifo the constitu tionality .of the Webb-Kenyon law This decision is a great victory for law enforcement. It permits the State to prohibit receipt, possession, sale and use of intoxicating liquor. The State is not hampered by agencies of Interstate commerce acting as ban tenders to bring liquor Into the State. If liquor is imported into the State, it can impose a tax on such imports j ttuu. Thls'~tirx would defray t lu* ex i (H'liM's of enforcement of the law. .>?** "1 trust (hat thy General Assembl> will enact such legislation as wlU minimize the evils of liquor and mako possible the strict enforcement of the law." / Perhaps i no part of the Governor's address which will come In for most discussion was that dealing with penal and charitable problems. on this point ho said : "1 direct your special attention to certain phases of the penal, correc tional and charity problems of the State in order to indicate the goals towards which 1 think we should work In this and succeeding sessions of the General Assembly so that legislation, consistent and purposeful, may he en acted as rapidly as Is deemed ad \ Isahle. "We should pursue a policy with regard to our hoards of administra tion so that Institutions of more or less the same general nature woujd be controlled by the same board. The work of these administrative boards should, in turn, bo under the general supervision of the State Hoard of Charities and Corrections. This board of Charities and Corrections should hav<? as few administrative functions as practicable, and Its supervisory powers should be strengthened. To this end I offer three recommenda tions : ?*1. That prior to the convening of each session of the (Jetieral Assembly, all State Institutions under the super vision of this board be required to submit detailed statements of appro priations fon which these institutions will ask the legislature, with reasons therefor, so that this board may servo both you and the lust it ut ion In an advisory way by preparing a tenta tive State budget In so far as these Institutions are concerned. "li. That the selection of all new sites for these State Institutions should be made in coo|>eration with, and sub ject to the approval of, this board. The same principle should apply to plans for new buildings, pro|K>sals to purchase additional land, and to fun damental changes in policy. "3. That this board should have on it's staff, for this year, a Held worker trained in studying and dealing with juvenile problems. "I offer the following suggestions regarding the administration -of the State's jKMial. correctional and charity work : "1. The Governor should be em powered to transfer to the State j Penitentiary from any jail or chain. I gang any inmate when, in his judgr uient, the treatment being given such Inmate or the sanitary conditions un iler which he is being kept, are not humane. "Further, I believe all violators of State laws should be under State con trol. Our present county chain gang system should be abolished* and the laws creating and governing the con tract lease system, which arc now on our statute books, should be re pealed. From among the State con i vlcts thiiH provided for should !?- >? I lected such number of ablebodied men ' as Is practicable to constitute the ! State 'convict road force, which should I then 1h? distributed over the Stato in I road camps and employed In -develop ing a system of roads designated by a State highway department. This plan Is similar to that successfully followed In Virginia during the past ten years. The construction work should be under the direction of the State highway en , gineer, but the camps and the convicts j should be controlled by the State Pen itentiary authorities. "The State's penal system should be administered by the State Hoard of Penal - Administration, which would supplant the board of directors of the State Penitentiary; would consist of live men appointed by the Governor for five-year terms, one term expiring each year; and would appoint the su I>erinten<Ient of the penitentiary in stead of ids being elected by the Oen eral Assembly, as at present. This board should be required to develop and administer an adequate parole sys tem, and laws providing for adult pro bation and indeterminate' sentence should be enacted, "In my Judgement, the <i over nor should have outhority to grant par dons, suspensions of sentence, paroles, commutations of sentence, remissions of fines and forfeitures, only on the recommendation of the State Hoard of Pardons; but to him should* l>e re served the right to veto such recom mendations. Further, you might well consider declaring the State Hoard of Penal Administration to be the State Hoard of Pardons. "2. I recommend that the Stat*' Re formatory for Negro Boys bo placed under the control of the board of trus tees of the South Carolina Industrial School ; and that it be made really reformatory Instead of the state prison that it now is. I further recommend calling this board of trustees the State Board of Corjpctional Adminis tration, ' and changing its organization so that it will consist of five persons appointed by the Governor for five year' terms, one term expiring each year, with authority to appoint the superintendents of the institutions un der its control. This board would thus supplant the present board of trustees of the South (Carolina Indus trial School and would be required to administer the State's correctional sys , tem. including paroles. "3. Our country alms house popula tion should be reclassified aod the pres ent system abolished. District insti tutions, to be homes for the aged-in flrm and several hospitals for the poor and to serve groups of counties, should be established and maintained pro rata by these counties, thus relieving the State Hospital for the Insane of such harmless seniles and other old people whom it is wise to remove, as well as caring for many crippled, tubercular, and other cases that do not how re k A.HON<> T1IK TOl KISTS Sonic Prominent People Here hit lb* ] Winter .
