.STICKS TO HIS PLATFORM
Governor-Elect Richards Says Economy
Will He one of Main Issues
(Hy Jno. K. Aull)
Columbia, Nov. H.?Major John G.
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. Her soul too

Will Sell ( ?rload Bull*
During the past few years Lancaster
county ha* become noted a? a
center for pure-bred Jersey cattle.
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.

Retention of bodily waste in

This often gives rise to a
dull, languid feeling and, sometimes,
toxic backaches and headaches. That
the kidneys are not functioning prop*
