In con fortuity with Coxtrnor Cooper's .desires, the inaugural exercises today characterised by democratic sim plicity. The oath of office was admin* latered by his lifelong friend and former fellow ? townsman, Associate Justice R. C. Watts, of the supreme court of Houth Carolina, and the prayer was offered by his pfotor, Rev. A, II. Templeman P. I), of, J,auren*, , ?: Following the admiuisteriug of tSe oath of office Governor Cooper deliver ed his inaugural address, which was generally commended as beiug construct ive in its recommendations and conduct ivc to a spirit of political harmony and general cooperation of endeavor umoug all the people of the state. The key note of the addrcsa was educational ad vancement and the administration of all the Jaws of the state in tho spirit of th'eir enactment and in accord with the intent of th4 constitution and tho> stat utes. He said that he would deal with the legislative department with perfect can-, dor, and it would find him as ready to -raoeive as to offer suggestions. He said that the program which he outlined would eutail additional appropriations* and that his educational program would probably call for the largest amount"5ver I expended in one year for the public schools, but that when the tax-payera [rw^ived adequate returns upon their in | vestment, and the future citizenship of the state was stake, that it was a matter of Ingest public duty ns well as of public foonomy. - j Governor Cooper spoke for nearly an hour and wps liberally applauded by an represented every walk in South "Carolina and every sec tion of the sta&. In beginning bis address he referred to the righteous, ending of. the war, and said that no legislature which had ever assembled in this state was confronted with greater opportunities or graver re sponsibilities than those which face as He recommended an act providing for "g minimum school term of seveA months and a statewide compulsory school at-' tendance law of all children between the age* of eight and fourteen years. Ade quate pay for teachers and school officials was stressed in this connection? lie outlined at some length his posi tion upon the question of taxation, rec ommending an executive budget similar to that in force in Virginia, the total amount to be apportioned to the various counties according to taxable wealth. The inaugural exercises today depart ed from the usual procedure, in that they were held on the frontportico of ttVe state capitol. In previous years the goverbor-elect took oath of office before the general assembly in the hall of the r house of representatives.' '/ Three things stood out in bold relief today in the legislative proceedings on the senate side: First, the possibility of a recess of the gencrar assembly until the first Tuesday in May ; second, ~t3|E lifttrodyilidtt Of ft resolution by Senator Miller .of Darlington,, asking th<? tax commission how and why it arrived at the present basis of tax equal&atloas and what recommendation it had with reference to future equalisation and as sessments; third ( the induction into-of* flee of Lieut Gov. Junius T. Idles and the splendid and wefl-aounded address that he made to the senators immediate ly after his return to the senate chamber from the inaugural ceremonies. ? For some faw days there have bsea mutter lags of anxiety on the part of leg* islitors with teferenece to the "flu" sit uation. - ? Frankly, members are Worried; R^orts that they aregrttlng from home are not at all satisfactory. Some fe* have Imen taken siek either while in doftfabta or as a remit of travel. IV day Senator Buck, of Horry, who has always been an exceeding^ level-headed man, presented this resolution : - 'Wheteas, the epidemic of influensa is Increasing in the state and bMOO* ing a menace to congregated crowds, Whereas , tJ*? legi^ature of .
