OUTLINES THE POLICY Q| AdmittUtratlon, GItm Pfufap to God for HI* Election and Pay* Ste-Roapacta to HJa Eneniic*—He Ma^ea hereral Striking Recom- meadatloDB to the I/Cglulature. Wo preoent below, the niost Im portant part of the inaugural ad- drtn of Ooy. Coleman L. Mease to Ua Legialature Tuesday afternoon. , My. Prealdent, Mr. Speaker, meip- p«ra ■of tbo general assembly of South Carolina, ladlea, and gentle men: Independence of thought, freedom of action, an abiding trust In and de- roted loved for God have won for me the groateat political victory that has pot boen recorded in the history of South Carolina. Aligned against me wort a united daily press and an al- moet Mild weekly and semi-weekly press, pouring forth all kinds of Xaloeheod, vituperation and abuse, ig the- aosKtan a. jq u tjl per_ of moo who csli themselves ministers of ths gospel—God save the mark! ^ Who stood behind their pulpits and give vent to envy and malice and •landers of tbs most virile malicious nature against me— “These hypocrites had left their masks and stoed In nnksd ugliness. fltny ^pre man Who stole the livery of Heaven To serve the devil In”— all of these, combined with others, making a set of political character thieves, the meanest and most con- IgfUblo people known to man. I was nsver discsuraged. 1 know that Ood did not lovs ugly, and that the people of Booth Carolina were tor fair piny to all her eons alike. • ~lfea have rallied and fought in kindreds Of battles, but no hand of truer men ot braver soldiers or more loyal and devoted friends ever rallied tor a fight than those &6.602 brave Sad honorable men of South Caro- ttaa, who on September 13, 1910, gild to my enemies: "You shall not £raaa him down; you shall not de stroy hla reputation; you shall not cnscify him upon a cross of vitup eration. slander and falsehood; yon shall not crown him with a crown of potnssutlon, envy and malice.” And IT the help of all-wise and all-pow erful Ood, the victory was won, and we can and do today say “Praise Ood from whom all blessings fiow," \ and my prayer Is thA bis choice blessings of this earth rest upon my frissds. and may each of them some day be srowned with a diadem In heaven. Vnr those whs opposed me honest ly tad fairly, I have no word of cen sure. It was their right to do so, and I tool that they were but exercis ing their high right of American rlt- tseashlp. For the others I have but pity, for I well know that their con sciences. If they have any. are giv ing them censure and punishment *snough for their cowardly and un derhand manner of opposition. I thank, and wish for you to con voy ray slncereet, most heart-felt thanks to your constituent* for their assistance in giving me the position which was the senlth of my political atobttton. Should I sever be elected any post ton agaln t personally I will have accomplished all that my life's work has been for, so far as . aoUttca! preferment Is concerned Ths only ambition that Is left Is that I may perform the duties of the of ’ fies of governor In such a manner that I may receive at the close of my term the "well done” from those who placed me In the position. After paying his respects to The ftats. Tbs News and Courier, and ether newspapers that he said had •bused him outrageously in the cam paign, and quoting from several pa pers to sustain his charge, Gov. Blease said: Announces Ills Platform, In staking my campaign durl ths phit summer, I announced toy Platform was: An honest administration of mmPIw. fairly and Impartially to all sitiesns alike. . Id. Enforcing all lawk upon all MtolKts, obedience to tke constitu- *-4ton' of - the United States and the {MMUtnUoa of South, Carolina. — r*r separate the legislative, Judicial and executive isphrttossu of /the government, ••eh, howeyer, flolng Its duty and to/uphold and support to oar Confederate vetsraaa, and hope that, while you gentlemen will not bs extravagant «aloBg this line, yet that you will give to them what ever Is necessary to make them com fortable, and that you will so amend the pension laws that so many un worthy people who now receive It wjll not receive It, In order that those who are entitled to It may get more of that which Is approprated. 1 need not ssy more on this subject, for any man who does not love the ex-Confederate soldier Is either a Yankee or haa negro blood In his veins. I recommend liberal appropria tions for all our State institutions of learning for white boys and girls. They, with out depomnattonal col leges, are doing a grand and glori ous work. None Is In the way; none can he spared. If there is rivalry, It is frlenlly, and spurs all on to a greater work. Rut I do not believe in the extravagance that the general assembly has been engaging In along this line for several years past, and l can not and will not give my sanc tion to It during my term of office, and I therefore hope, in order to keep down any friction along thl? line between the legislative and ex ecutive departments, that, you gen tlemen will reduce these appropria tions. I am In favor of building up the free school system eo that every white child in South Carolina may be given a good common school educa tion in comfortable and convenient school bosses, and In paying teachers requiring either s marriage certio rate or the registration of all mai- rlagea In tne office of the clerk of court for the county In which the marriage takes place. 1 have been advocating this for some years, and It la really amusing to me to see here recently some people and some news papers coming out In advocacy of It at thie late day, hoylng possibly that such an act will he passed, and that they can say, “we did It. I hope and recommend that you will enact such law as will do away with the abominable system of hav ing to exchange mileage for railroad HckeU, and provide one fare on all railroads for both rich and poor alike. I respectfully recommend that you pass laws that will favor and protect labor In all Its legitimate callings and endeavors, and such laws as will protect capital In all Its lawful In vestments, so that all of our people may be properly protected, and that we may give equal rights to all and special privileges to none. I respectfully call your attention to the evil of the sale and use of co caine and such like drugs, and would recommend that you pass an act making the sale of It or the hav ing it in possession without a proper legal excuse a crime punishable by Imprisonment without the alterna tive of & fine. I also. In this con nection, beg leave to call your at tention to the evil of the habitual drinking of coca cola, pepsicola, and such like' mixtures, as I fully be lieve they are Injurious. It would (nrffivInTrt'wrtsrtee-to s^uc-a..tiie-.lu.-ia« better for ^our. people If they md of books, especially histories, by Southern authors for Southern chil dren, and I hope that you will take such action and make such appropri ations as will bring about these re forms. Opposed Compulsory Education. I am absolutely opposed to com pulsory education, and have little pa tience with, and much contempt for, that man or those men who go around In the State or outside of the State and parade figures to show the percentage of the Ignorance of our people. And If they are State officers dr hold poxtttrme under the Stale government, they should t>e decent enough, to resign, and If they are not then they should be kicked out. If what they say Is true, we should all get together and try to remedy it, and not parade it and humiliate our State hr advertising It. If some peo ple are being paid for this kind of •peeches, I recommend that you abolish their positions, for they are not helping, hut Injuring ns. “In my opinion, compulsory education In the hands of the State means die ruptlng the home, for It dethrones the authority of the parents and place* the paid agents of the State In control of the children, and de stroys family government Those agents stand between the child and the parent They represent the State They are not responsible to the par ents. They Impress upon the minds of the chUdren the views of the State, and virtually say: ‘We have taken you out of bondage and made you free; we are giving you what vour unnatural parents would not give you. and no child on earth ran •>e subject to such Influences and teachings and escape Imbibing th< spirit of rebellion against parental authorty. and consequent disrespect and Ingratitude. Children are too easily Infected with the idea that their parents owe them everything while they owe them nothing in re turn, and with the design and law of God set at defiance, who can cam- pass, by the widest stretche* of the most gigantic mind, the condition that will follow. We desire to see the standard of education raised in South Carolina; we want every boy •md girl in the State to have every possible opportunity to gain for themselves the very l>est and highest degree of equipment for life; but we (to not want It at the cost of pa rental authority and the peace of the home Family government and pa rental responall'lllty antedate all oth erg, and It is possible for wild, ex travagant, and madly enthusiastic men, who see theory and theory only, to destroy family government, alien ate children from their parents and force (die home Into a scene of strife, rebellion and wretchedness.” The Rlble says a great deal about obedi ence to parents and reverence for parents, and believing In that book and Its teachings as strongly as I do. and for the sake of our children, our ountry and for the future, I believe In letHng the parents keep within their own control the reirlng and education of their children. Negro Education. 1 am opposed to white people's taxes heing^ used to educate negroes. I am a friend to the negro race. This 1* proved .by the regard In whlcli the negroes of my home county hold me. The white people of the South are the best friends to The negro race. In my opinion, when the peo ple of this country began to try to educate the rtegro they made a secl- oua and grave mistake, and I fear the worst result Is yet to come. “So why continue? I took this same po sition in my first political race twen ty years ago. .and each year has proved more clearly that I was right t/ken, and the future will emphasize |Aieh can be tolerated *’by That I am right now. I believe that Ixed nation, and I beg to cal! you members of the legislature can pass an act which will meet all jthe requirements of both the federal and Stats-constitutions, which will rem edy this, and I recommend that you do so. The present system of pay ing schools their pro rata share by enrollment is absurd, because the negrd teachers have learned how to pad their rolls, and .children who only attend school possibly one or ludM MfitMHHIlde two days are enrolled and tne I at ths other. - 4th. r Tria/by Jury for all persons aeeoeed of/rime, and enforcing the > Jh^toMpta/of courts founded Upon of the Juries. This I atand firmly upon today, •ad I consider government by In- joaetlon ths most vicious and (le- i« civilised nation, and I beg to cal! to your attention to Sections 5, 16, 17 id S6, of Article 1 of the constitu- whleh every officer o4 tSrfetate ls sworn to uphold and Detotofriitlc party Jn her conventions condemns In- Jnaettons in the „ most strenuons *‘ntofr& flonth Catalina, though she the bed-rock of Democracy, vlo- doctrise In the HUB? opinion, only thoee lit who are governed by spite ^ th ®y schools receive rhonsy upon their en rollment. I could go into this mat ter more elaborately, but time will not permit I respectfully refer you I am In to the report of your State superin tendent ot education, and I am sure If any of your committees will ask hark'nlse respectable places where they could go and h u >’ a K 0 °d. pure glaes of cold beer than to drink such concoctions. I respectfully recommend that you pass an act prohibiting the smoking of cigarettes by boys under the age of sixteen years, and prohibiting the sale of cigarettes and cigarette pa per In this State. I respectfully recommend that you pass a law prohibiting the sale of toy pistols and guns, and also a law prohibiting any child under sixteen years of aee own ing or having in posseeslon any gun or pistol or toy gim or toy pletol or gun or pistol of any character whatsoever, as in my opinion many of the accidental and other shoot ings and killings of today are caus ed by the desire for guns' or pistols created In the minds of the youths while playing with toys of this char acter. Rome action should be taken to rid our circuit courts of the ex pense of trying minor case* We of ten see cases in court where many witnesses are called from their places of business, sit around the court house possibly for half or the entire week at heavy expense to the county, and when the case It brought on for trU.1 there is either nothing in it or I»oss!hly a fine of one hundred dol lars or less i* Imposed In case of conviction. 1 think It would be bet ter to put more of this kind of cases In the hands of the magistrates, so that they could be summarily dealt with at absolutely no expense to the cohnty and where they could he riv en as much punishment as is many times given by our circuit Judges. Hither this should be done or else vou should establish a court for the trial of all cases less than felony, for you see from the extra terms of court held, from the special Judges being appointed, and other expenses, that the question Is becoming a ser ious one, and the people are tired and beginning to complain of the system as It now Is. Much ha* been aald about the en actment of laws In regard to the labor in our cotton mills These people are our people; they are our kindred: they are our friends, and n my opinion they should he let alone, and allowed to manage their own children and allowed to manage their own affairs I am fully con vinced that dealing In cotton futures by mill officers has lost thousands of dollars to our State, and today have some embarrassed, which mon ey, if It had been paid to the labor ers for services, would have saved many a close down for a week or two, where the help has been put out of a Job, and which have caused sr»meflmes suffering and pain. 1 can not say (hat resignations or deatha of officials have been caused by such dealings, hut sufferincs have be< n brought to the people who work in the mills, and. If any legislation is to take place, as between the mill owner and the mill operative It seems to me that this Is the line along which to work. There has come to me much com plaint In regard to the management of and dealings with the patients and property of the State hospital for the Insane, and admission of per sons who should be tried In the criminal courts but who are accept ed by the superintendent before a Jury has acted upon the case. I would respectfully recommend that you amend section 2247, volume '1, of the rode, by striking Out five and Inserting seven, so as to give each congressional district a representa tive upon that board; or possibly it would be better If you would so amend It as to give each judicial qirmilt a representative ■upon the board. In ; thls way all parts of the State would have a representative. I respectfully recommend that you amend the law which places white convicts In the same camp and works them along In the same squads with nezro convicts. I do not believe in this, and believe that a governor would be Justified In granting a fUr- don to a white man whof Is thus treated,.and L beg of you t<> remedy this evil at your earliest oppbrtun- Ujk- - . - „ _ I would respectfully recommend that you amend your present dispen sary or prohibition act so as to pro vide that In case a majority of the white citizens of any county shall de sire a license system, that It may be granted. Section 11, article 8. of wtM Be dsHEkiad U tosatefc frths constitution of 1844. provides )n part: "The general assembly may . persons fir corporations to miaaffictnrs sad sail and retail al coholic liquors or beveraget^ within the State, under such ruteir'xnd re striction* as It deems proper.” We now have the law so that they may have a county dispensary or prohi bition. Now, in order to be truly Democratic and fair to all parties, In-my opinion this amendment should be made. IJ[K)ii thie platform I made the race for the governorship, and uiton this platform 1 was elected, the majority of the white people ex pressing themselves as in favor‘of allowing those counties where pro hibition can not be enforced, and where the dispensary has proved and Is proving to be a supply station of blind tigers and cheap whiskey--that they should be allowed to have re lief by this system. 1 would not fa- for under any conditions, forcing It upon any community, but if a major ity of their white people want it It Is their right as provided in our constitution, and they should have It. And Vhen I say white people 1 mean white voters, and you should provide that all questions of this charaeter shall Ixi settled in a prim ary, where every white citizen is'al- lowed to vote, and not submit it In a general election, where the ne- ero might be and is the balance of power. Rut under no conditions or oir- cumfitances would I sign a bill al lowing the reinstatement of the old l>ar room system. And if. license is (Rowed I recommend that you pro hibit any whiskey being sold hi less quantities than one-half pint, or be tween sunset and sun-up, and tbai you prohibit it from being drunk on the premises or* s'dTT'tnfff'f'T any circumstances to minors or inebriates or behind closed doors or screens; prohibit any' obscene pictures on the premises, or any billiard or card or |M>ol room connected therewith; and providing that any person holding a license who shall violate any provis ion of the law shall immediately up on conviction forfeit his lieen-e and be forever thereafter barred from be ing licensed, and in addition tie im prisoned at hard labor In the State penitentiary, without the alternative of a fine. I respectfully recommend that you amend the present law eo as to make executions for the crime of rape nr' assault with intent to ravish, pulilie. as I believe this will bring about more satisfactory results allowing others, and particularly those o! tb-' younger generation of that rn >■ (run which^most of iilt.se cuijui i c e, to have a full ,ew of tile > i •!(- ment meted out Rossi hi • \ tbi- rr eans some !yn.hh<gs could 'c-> j vented, though so long as this crime is committed 1 have little heu o‘ lynchings being stopped, com' 1 new- papers and some people, in cvei\ controversv between the wh te -nan anil the negro, seem to taK-‘ d- i.-’, in taking the side of the n . >> mad denouncing the lynching, but tV- i- a white man’s country and will con time to te- ruled by the white .nan regardless of the opinions or e It torials of quarter or half brti-ds or foreigners The pure Id-in !'o! C m rasion will always defend th- \u e of our women, no matter who ;h. eost. If rape is committed, deal! must follow. Appropriat ion*. I sincerely trust that in your de liberations you will be liberal, but not extravagant, and that you will reduce expenses, and not make any extravagant appropriations fur arm purpose, stop the useless expenditure of money by ojeials, stop the cre ation of and abolish useless officer- and all other methods of careless. c\ travagant and useb ss expenditure of money, and that you will not cre ate an increase in the tax levy, but that you will reduce both the Stn e and the county levies, as all our taxes are too high, and our people are now burdened with taxation They are groaning under their load and begging relief, and to you and you alone must they look for it, for you and you alone can give it. and if you do not give it the responsi bility will rest upon you And be assured that in the next campaign the lines will be closely drawn along 'he line of extravagance and tile ex penditure of money, as the people are today aroused upon this matter as they have not been in years be fore. As for my part, I bylieve that the grandest, most perfect ai^d inde pendent form of government" Is a nor ‘government and a rich people.- When you make a rich government and thereby impoverish tile people, or make a poor people, you reverse democracy and create dissatisfaction and discontent among the people, who are the masters, and not the servants, as somu would have us think. Give me a [u>or government and a rich people in place of a rich government and a poor people. For the [vast few' years the idea seems to have been to raise the tax levy high* er, make assessments higher, mak. more extr^varanr appropriations and spend the people's money uselessly, making hot it the people ami ttie gov ernment poor, for the !>enefit of a few who hold special positions and draw large salaries and who have been tryng to create here in our State an aristocracy, not of blood, not, of brain, but of money. I beg you to change the course, and by so doing you will make fot* yourselves a reputation I hat the people will rise en masse and say to yon, ‘‘Well done, good and faithful servants.” I have been advocating these prin- clnJes for year* in the house, in the senate and on the stump in my home county and throughout the State, and have stood squarely upon them out in the open and never waited to see which would be the popular side be fore taking a stand. Even when some of them were very unpopular and It seemed that any man who dared advocate them w as doomed I o' political oblivion I stood by them and made the fight to keep them tip and begged the people not, to be de ceived, but to hear me fo/ niy cause, and i^ow we see some men aid news papers who did not etantj for them, or who, if they did. wer^ afraid to acknowledge It. endeavoring to claim the credit of leading In the fight. We are glad to have their help, even CATtWffG PHW flf An Easy Method Which Obtain* Around the Bay of Fnndy. The Bay of Fundy has always bees s famous fishing ground especially for salmon and shad. Fifty years ago the fish wsre so plentiful that a pje’hod was used to catch them which seems odd nowadays when a fish has at least hplf a chase* to *•■ cape the hook or the net. The tide rlsss high In the Bay of Fundy and Ita headwaters, and of this fact the fishermen of fifty years ago took full advantage. At high tide the water makes stssbl# rivers of> tiny streams. Large schools of shad and other fish in those days came up the river with the tide. -The method of catching them was simple In the extreme. At low tide s seine would be staked to the river bed and Oie top of the seine weight ed to the bottom with leads Then after the tide had risen ths fisher men would pull up the seine so that U formed a barrier across the entlrA river bed. Wuen the tide began to run out tbe fish would find their return to the sea and freedom barred effect ively The little fellowi, of coure*. would make their way through tb6 seine, put the ones worth catching would flop Impotently against the meshes. Soon the tide would be out com pletely. leaving only a foot of water in the river Several thousand fish would be there for the taking A pair of rubber boots and a basket would be sufficient equipment for the fishermen, who waded out ant* gathered them" fa wholesale. The fish don’t run up the r!v*n any more, and the seining must b« d 'be In the bay Itself. This Is prof itable. It Is true, but a fish with half » head can avoid capture for a long Urns. Iron Cane* }6r Exercise. Among fashionable accessories of the mascullno costume the very new est Item Is the Iren cane. It weighs possibly seven and a half pounds, and it Is Intended as an exerciser. For the business man who has lit tle time for chest weights, dumbbells and all the other devices for keeping himself In trim the cane may prov* a boon. It can be used as one walks In the open air. and consequently ti the city man g nearest substitute for the natural exercise wnlch come* from outdoor sports. While walking along the cane may be swung first In one hand and then In the other, so that development will be uniform. 8o If men of somewha portly build o; of Jaded, overwonced com plex.on or otherwise afflicted will the signs of city confinement and tack of exercise are observed during the next few months fromenadlng the city streets and graoefully. light ly airily swinging vane* after ths manner of major domos, the specta cle win not be caused by a sudden attack of springtime gayety Jt will ■ Imply be the man with ths Iron cane *ut for hla *ally stroll. C< ffeex the Impirev. The Italian composer, Donlsetti, courted Inspiration by a meant which proved so Injurious that It caused the premature decay of hit facullleo. He vas accustomed to shut himself In his room with * quantity of mu ilc paper, pens, and Ink, and three or four pota of strong coffee. He would then begin to writs and drink, and when ths sup ply of coffee was exhaustsU. hs would order mors, and oontlnus to drink as long as he wrot*. He asserted that ths coffee was necessary for hja Inspiration. Ths result of this pernicious habit, was s yellow parchment like complexion, with lips aim t jet black, and s nervous sy'tMin, which soon caused his breakdown and death.
