THE KTATK'M NEW GOVERNOR
Judging from their editorial expressions
Columbia newspapers are
not greatly pleased with Governor
Richards at the outlet of his fourr
year term and one of them has alteady
taken him to ridicule because
of his failure to xettle the Aiken
lynching caae U?hh than twenty-four
hours after receiving' the oath of
office. 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.

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.

The regular monthly meeting of the
Civic League was held In the school
auditorium Monday afternoon, January

of different committees and naked
the secretary to have them published

trees needed on Broad street and
that they ha^ been planted. 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,

and Miss Celeste Mumford were
appointed to arrange a picnic, bridge
party or some other means of raising

Editor Camden Chronicle: On Friday
preceding the regular monthly
meeting of the Kershaw County
Board of Directors a special meeting
was held with all members present.
At this meeting each of the members
gave hearty expression to their appreciation
of the Clerk of the Board,
Hon. L. T. Mills, who has been very
efficient, painstaking and obliging in
the discharge of his duties, and it
occurs to me that this fact is wort hy
of mention in connection with the
matters mentioned in the account of
the regular meeting published in
ycfur columns recently. I can understand,
of course, that you did not
know of this occurrence and could
not, therefore, bring it in connection
with the proceedings of the regular
meeting, of which you gave account.
Thanking you in advance for giving
this space in your columns, I am,
Yours very truly,
