Richards, South Carolina's governorelect since November 2, when he and thtf" "Entire state and county Democratic tickets*, including the general assembly, were swept into office upon a wave which brooked no opposition (but which would have had to bo just a little stronger had there been any serious opposition), was for many years a close personal and political friend of the late Senator Benjamin R. Tillman, and not many months ago Maj or Richards went one night over to Rock Hill to hear Will Rogers, in-1 ternational humorist, deliver one of I his inimitable talks, or soliloquistk-1 exhibitions. These two things arc far apart both in time and in what might be supposed to be thought and tenor, but their being linked together in one and the same sentence is suggested by the fact that when. Major Richards delivers his inaugural address on the third Tuesday of next January, which, in the natural course of events will roll around on the "IKth day of the month, he will be confronted by exactly the same situation which confronted Governor Tillman thirty-six years ago, and the beginning of the solution of which was given by \Vi?l Rogers in one of his recent eommun ications?from?Russia m President Coolidge, through the medium of The Saturday Evening Post. "Colonel" Rogers' name would not be suggested in this connection except for the fact that it is known that Major Richards was somewhat impressed with Rogers' soliloquy at Rock Hill. "The question of equalizing taxes," said Governor Tillman, in his inaug urul addrcB* on December 4, 1890, "in one of the moat Important and perplexing with which we haye to deal, and, while the luws ar<'> defective, their administration is equally at fault." The stability of the Kussian curren > is maintained, points out Will Rogers, by the government first finding out what its revenues are going to he, and then totalling iUs approprint ions accordingly. Major Richard* told the press recently that he was giving thought to his inaugural address, outlining the poln y of his administration, as he would strive to make it, and said that he was standing square upon the plat(oirn upon which he wus elected. Those who know him know that is characteristic of the governor-elect. He will stand by every promise he made to the people. But he is settling out to puddle his canoe against a curi cut that is very strong and very swift, and it is going to take mighty strokes with arms of steel to keep the boat headed uj> the stream and gain against it. The "chief plank," as he himself called it, upon which Major Richards asked the support of the people of the state the past summer, was economy and tax reform," and he declared that "theie are too many departments of government, too many office-holders, too many bureaus and commissions; we should get hack to constitutional government and away from government by commissions." And one of the most significant and far-rcaehing of his declarations was this: "1 would not destroy or cripple a single deserving.institution, but the unnecessary offices should be cut cut, and where there enn be consolidation this should be done. If elected governor, I will do all in my power to put a stop to this extravagance and save every dollar possible to the tax-payers of our state, und I will use the veto power vested in the governor by the constitution to this end." And Major Richards says now that he meant then what he said, and means it now? that he regards platforms not as something to bo elected on, merely, but as something to stand upon after election. A governor may get affirmative action in the enactment of laws or in the repeal of existing laws only through a general assembly in sympathy with him; hut a governor by ! the use of the veto power can make it necessary that a 'wo-thirds majority in each house be obtained before any appropriation may go upon the statute books, except, of course, the appropriations provided for the salaries of constitutional officers?and of course there are very few in South Carolina any more, as compared with the vast number of those created by statute. The veto power is a very deadly weapon when it is skilfully used. It 1 may have just about the same effect as a scythe in a field of grain. And the declared purpose to use it to \ very potent argument with a general assembly-?or with any one else. Perhaps Major Richards will put the gitu'tal assembly on notice when he begins his labor* a* chief executive, just how far he will go. The general assembly will be largely new. The new members will include two-thirds of the house and nearly half the senate, its powers are separate arid distinct from those of the governor, but the constitution make sit the duty of the governor to "from time to time give to the general assembly information of the condition of the state, and recommend for its consideration sucn measures as he shall del-in necessary or expedient." Perhaps the general assembly already knows the condition of the state. Nearly everybody does. There is going to bo a large fight on the drink question., In former years this meant the liquo* question? the "intoxicating liquors" question. Now, legally, it means coca-cola and other soft drinks, so far as the tax and control are concerned. Of course the "intoxicating liquors" question is still here, but that will enter into the administration only so far as the enforcement of the existing law is concerned. Major Richards has outlined the kind of constables he is going to have?and "none other but"?the nondrinkable kind. Even with those it may be possible to secure a drink somewhere in South Carolina, even sometimes in Columbia. There will be a determined and eurnest effort to enforce the prohibition law. That goes without saying. It will be a vigorous effort, and it will have the whole force of the administration behind it. Major Richards is conscienr tious and very serious about this, as he is conscientious about everything else. There is going to be no compromise* so far as he is concerned. The war will be on, and it will go to the bitter end. But those who say somebody else told them contend that there has as yet been no noticeaWe, and certainly no appreciable, fluctuation *in the liquor market. With tight prohibition and plenty of liquor?they say?as accomplished facts, the heavy artillery will be turned loose in the battle over the retention of the soft drinks tax. By its own limitations, the section of the act imposing the soft drinks tax automatically dies on April 1, 1927. In other words, it must be re-enacted by the general assembly in order to be continued. There the governor is helpless, so far as power is concerned. There*the legislature is supreme. The governor may advise and urge and plead, but only the legislature can act. Were there no time limit, and if it took affirmative action to repeal the statute, the governor could come in with his veto. Should the legislature re-enact the tax, a governor, if he were so disposed, could come in with the veto and make it necessary for the legislature to muster up twothirds in each house. But if the legislature simply doesn't act affijgnatively?and nobody can figce ft to act ?not even a governor or a president, >r Queen Marie of Roumania?the tax dimply heaves a last sigh .and passes away. Governor-elect Richards' position upon this much mooted question in South Carolina, was stated during the campaign. "I am ip Ned to the soft drink tax except as an emergency tax," he said, "and if elected governor :t is my purpose t'o eliminate that emergency. In any event, a twenty per cent tax is ruinous and its" continuance cannot be justified." But ho made it plain that the danger of increasing the tax upon "the homos and farms of the state"?the property 'ax, would be an' emergency. And those who are in touch with the situation are convinced that there has been, and there is now, and that there will continue to be an emergency of this kind. So there you are, and that's that.

Her Father's Daughter Annie Brown Adams died the other day in California. The name, commonplace enough, will mean nothing to the average reader. But Annie Brown Adams was not a commonplace person. She was one of the 20 children of John Brown and the only member of his family to see him hanged, on Dc. ember 2, 1859. For 17 years she had borne a memory etched in horror. She must have been a woman of exceptionally strong character to have lisen above the handicap to the life of usefulness and happiness which is indicated by the fact that she left eight children. Mrs. Adams was 20 at the time of her father's execution; old enough to understand the fanatical zeal for the freeing of the slaves which animated the stormy pctrai of pre-tebellion years, to comprehend the gravity of his offense against the government anji to appreciate the bitterness of his disappointment when the slaves failed to rise at hi* signal.

And now it is preparing to do something that no other county in the state ha* ever attempted or been able to do--sell a car load of pure-bred bulls at one pme for breeding purposes. Arrangements for this salthave been made by- the county agent working in co-operation with the dairy extension division of North Carolina. The sale will take place at New Bern, North Carolina, on November 2b, and will be made up of around fifteen bulls all sent by Lancaster county Jersey men. No other Jerseys will be offered except Lancaster county cattle, and it is hoped that this will open up u future market for the high class Jerseys that, we breed in this section. * During the past year the different counties of North Carolina have had on "Better Sires" campaigns, and in some counties several dozen purebred sires have been placed. In this particular campaign five county agents in the counties near New Bern are co-operating with County Agent Howell in placing the Lancaster county bulls. From the information available at this time the bulls are going to sell at good prices, and this will mean a great deal to the owners here, as well as enable the future dairymen in this section of North Carolina to get as good blood as they tan to build up their herds. Bulls to be offered in the sale nuist come up to certain requirements. They must represent the proper blood lines, from good producing cows, an 1 proven sires, and must be of good types and properly developed. They are being selected this week by the county agent and tested for tuberculosis. There are in use on many farms in Lancaster county as good Jersey sires as can be found in the county, and we also have cows as equally well-bred, as was evidenced by the showing our animals made at the state fair. When the Shanklin herd was dispersed at Camden several years ago, fourteen young bulls came to Lancaster county, and the reason of this is being seen now in the better type and production of our cows. Mr. Shanklin was a ""Master Breeder" and his contribution to dairy development is seen on every hand in this state. Blue Fox's Eminent, the sire of Oi l Chromo, the first 1,000 pound butter cow in the South, has two sons still in service here. Blue Fox Eminent, Jr., is proving to be a greater sire still, and others are making. The only two world-record cows in the South owned by Mr. Young at Timmonsville, are both of this blood, and the bulls to be sent to North Carolina will be closely related to them. Belle de Sarah was the first Medal of Merit cow in the state, making eight hundred fifty-eight pounds of butter fat in one year. We have one of her sons and a number of her half brothers in use in Lancaster county. We have also had nine sons of Chromo's Sensation in use in the I county. The dam of Chromols Sensa! tion was Blue Fox's Eminent Chromo, the first cow in the South to produce 1,000 pounds of butter in one year. , He was Goldmon't Brookhill, and was the herd bull of the Clemson College herd for several years. Many of the ' bulls to go to North Carolina will either be by sons of the abov'e nine bulls or out of daughters. Others will be by Financial Gold Dollar, the son of Financial Sensation, the $60,000 bull. One of these is out of the great old cow, daughter of Eminent, that was shown at our Annual Jubilee in August and owned by J. R. Wilson, Lancaster county farmers are fortunate in having her foundation animals ' that enable them to build upon without having to go out and give hig^i ; | ?? prices for no better, breeding .animals. ?Lancaster News.
