Whether to look for an j^L.?. "apology" ui "correction" for such views expressed in "ill tattle and tem per" or to expect further rantings upon the governor's school-teacher ^ ^recommendation as a means toward another ?tab at the late W. J Bryan is a matter of conjecture but it is u very evident fact that Governor Richards can not hope for friendly feelings from any agency whose interest is not for the whole of South Carolina. Governor Richards' Inaugural address, essentially, is hut a renewed pledge of the platform upon which he was nominated by the greatest majority of any new governor in the state's recent |?oliticnl history. The suggestions as offered by the new -Jo, t executive for tlic consolidation and abolition of various bureaux and commissions present positive means of reductions in large figures of the tax burden ami by _ almost the exact proportions it would relieve the state as a whole it would at the same l.ime prove rather unpopular in relieving the capitol city of some of its revenue and dignity. If the general assembly will but i emember to trust the people?to jemembor that their new' chief has already "had the overwhelming endorsement of his views at the hands of the people if they help enact but half of his program into laws?then South Carolina will surely have gone a long ways forward. She shall have at last found leaders and builders? men unafraid and able t<? serve well and very wisely. The directors of the Camden and Kershaw County Chamber of Commerce made no mistake when they elected Mr. II. G. Garrison, Jr., to head that body. While a very busy man with his banking and private affairs he always finds time to take an in tivo interest in all thai pertains to the welfare of his city and county, on! never tires in his work. He works hard at any task assigned hint and has the full lonfidencc of our people. Congratulations to Governor John G. Richards, said to be the first govvi nor ever furnished from Kershaw County! His people elected him on t he platform which he advocated in the primary, and with few exceptions, wc hope and believe that the general assembly1, and the people as a whole will back him pp in his administration. Mr. Richards is a Christian gentleman of the highest type and the destinies of. the state will be safeguarded by him for the next four years. Delegation Gets Recognition In the senate of the general assembly Senator Grover Welsh was placed on the important finance committee, and also on the committee on roads, bridges and ferries. Representative Coring pavis of Bethune has been named on the ways and means committee, headed by Robert E. McCaslan of Greenwood. Representative Newton Kel|ey has been assigned to the committee on agriculture, legislative library committee and committee on enrolled acts. Watch Bank Notes Request that people of South Carolina be. on the lookout for raised bank notes has been issued by bank authorities. There is no difficulty in recognising raised notes if people keep in mind the pictures that should appear on them. The notes should appear as follows: $1 Washington; $2 Jefferson; $5 Lincoln; $10 Jackson; $20 Cleveland; $50 Grant; $100 Franklin;Marshall; $1,000 Hamilton; $5(000 .Madison; $10,000 Chase. Birth of a Daughter Mr. and Mrs. J. Kischei announce the birth of a daughter, on Friday, January 7. The young lady has be?-n named B.C.y Ann Fischel. gkth fink kktkjtion Richards M?km Good linpreaaion on InaUKuril Crowd Tutaday J. K. Bruuaon, ataff correspondent for the Groonville Daily News, furnished his paper with the following account of the inaugural exercises in Columbia Tuesday: The inaugural meaaago of Governor Richard* delivered today from the c a pi to I step* provoked much favorable comment, an to its general outlines, among members of the legislature and private | citizens, and it is already evident that the new chief -executive is going to wield a strong influence in the shaping of legislature for the coming session. J here will of course be considerable disagreement with the governor as to some of his proposals, particularly those concerning the reorganization of the state government through consolidations and abolitions. There will be a hard fight particularly, over the proposal to abolish the tax commission, hut it is conceded that there is considerable sentiment for this step in both houses and that the fate of the stutc tux commission is in doubt. While the governor's message was heard with deep attention and a scattering of applause at mpst of the pauses, it was notable that his section dealing with economy in government and the abolition of several offices and commissions, aroused not" only more enthusiastic applause* hut considerable cheering as well. The greatest outburst of cheering, it seemed, greeted his declaration for a reroganization and thorough investigation of the state highway department, and his stand for a repeal of the motor title law and the distribution of license tags from the county seats. There was some cheering, too, but of a milder nature, over his proposal to'abolish the tax commission. Those who huve been in close contact with the legislature during the last week believe it is safe to say that Governor Richards has a majority of the house with him in the greater portion of his legislative program. As to the senate, there is some doubt as to just how much strength the governor can command in those issues in which there will be a close contest. On the whole, however, the legislature as a whole seems disposed to give the governor a cartvful and respectful consideration of all his proposals. Mr. Belk l.oscrf Home By Fire The residence of Mr. Hazel Belli, located on South Fair street, was almost completely destroyed by fire early Monday morning. Mr. Belk was awakened by the roof fat ing in and barely had- time to escape serious injury. The fire department promptly responded to the alarm but the loss was almost complete by the time it ai rived. The loss , is quite a heavy one for Mr. Belk as the house and its contents were only partially covered by insurance. Announces Song Service Rev. B. F. Bradford, pastor of Trinity M. E. Church and his "Willing Workers ( lub announce a song service at Babcock chapel, Browning Home,^ on next Sunday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock, to which white friends of i the congregation are es]>ecial]y Invited. The song service is given in the interest of the building fund of their church recently destroyed by fire. Senator Welsh's Car in Wreck. 1 wo young women, Misses Inez and Ruth Murphy, were slightly injured Monday night when the car in which I they were riding with two young men overturned as a result of a collision at the corner of Assembly and Taylor streets with another automobile driven by G. C. Welsh of Camden, senator from Kershaw county. A report of the accident was made to, the Columbia police. Senator Welsh was the only occupant of the car he was driving, while a party of four young people including besides the Misses Murphy, two young men, wh6 gave their names as Roy W iuiams and Will Mclxmnie, were riding in the other car. Mr. Williams was driving the car which was overturned, it was stated. The accident occurred between 10 and 11 o'clock. Senator Welsh was driving north along Assembly street and the other car was being driven west along Taylor street. The two cars collided nt the intersection of the two streets with the result that the lighter car containing the four young people was overturned. The young men were uninjured, while the young women were slightly hurt and were taken to their home. The o\ertuined car was damaged .'oivsidciably. It bore a license numw r issued to l>. T.

The regular monthly meeting of the Civic League was held In the school auditorium Monday afternoon, January 10, at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. The president, Mrs. S. C.

Mr. and Mis. (J. ii. Baum gave sixteen of these and Mr. W. 1). Whitaker completed tiie number needed. Mrs. von Tresckow reported that there were eight trees needed to be cut and forty-two were needed to plant on Lyttleton street. Mr. Chapman, our city engineer, went with them and will help them line up the trees so they won't interfere with the wires. They had found and marked fourteen of the needed number of trees at the DeKalb burying' ground and will secure the remainder from some other source. The secretary read a letter from Mr. W. C. Jones of the S. A. L. railway assuring the league of ev?ry possible assistance? in beautifying the station grounds at Camden. The president in assuming the duties of her office makes a plea for a large and interested membership for the Camden Civic League. She told of writing to the mayor of a lovely little city to ask of the workings and management of their league and got such a cordial and helpful reply. The president wants our league to be organised on the order of a civic government as a town. At the next meeting a board'of managers will Ixi elected, two from each ward. Those managers will be elected by paid up members of the league, voters from each ward electing their own representatives. Mrs. von Tresckow, Mrs. Foster, Mrs. John Villepigue, Mrs. G. H. Baum, Mrs. T. L. Willingham and Miss Celeste Mumford were appointed to arrange a picnic, bridge party or some other means of raising funds for the league.
