Columbia, H. C., Jun. 21.? At four
mioutes \afl*?r 1 o'clock this afternoon
Ky|*rt A , Cooper, of tijun*n?, succeed
ed Richard , J, Manning, of Humter, a*
gqmDOr of South Carolina.
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 . Soutih
