GOVERNOR'S MESSAGE.
Changes Suggested in Gallon-a-Month
Law.?Other Recommendations.
Governor Manning's annual message
to the legislatur^was read Tuesday
afternoon. The governor greeted
the members of the general assembly
as tren inspired by a desire
to transact the business of the State
in a thorough, economical and efficient
manner. The great prosperity
of the country is recounted, and
thanks are expressed for the many
blessings of the past year.
The report of the State superintendent
of education is especially
commended to the attention of the
general assembly. The scholastic
year shows the public school revenue
to be four million dollars, and a local
tax has been levied in over 1,^
A A ?i 1 * -x-imu ^
uu scnooi aisuiuis. me cmunuicm,
for the year exceeded 400,000, a gain
of 42,000 over the previous year,
which gain is credited to the enforcement
of the local option law. "In
my opinion," says the governor, "the
time has come when the statute for
compulsory attendance should be
made State wide, but should allow
districts that are unprepared or unwilling
to enforce compulsory attendance,
to petition for exemption." The
need for compulsory attendance is
emphasized by the fact that on January
1, about 2,400 children were discharged
from the cotton mills on account
of the child labor law. These
children cannot now work in the
mills, and should be in school. The
governor again recommends the creation
of a State board of examiners
for teachers.
The Australian ballot system is

VVUJUUiVUUVU A.V* V**v P WW
safeguard to the people the 'free
choosing of their nominees in the
primaries. The governor does not
think this system necessary in small
rural communities.
The governor says that the present
means for law enforcement are inadequate.
"I believe the governor
should be held responsible for the
enforcement of the law," says the
message. "If he is held responsible
for it, he should be given the power
to require local peace officers to discharge
their duties, or, upon failure
to do so, to suspend such -officers."
This power is not now given the governor.
As it would require considerable
time to amend the constitution
so as to give the governor this
power, Governor Manning urges for
immediate relief that he be empowered
to appoint constables with State
wide jurisdiction to enforce the prohibition
law, and, in case of failure
of local officers, to enforce all laws.
The governor again pledges his best
efforts to uphold and enforce the
laws. ?
Liberal, support is urged for the
natinnal smard without which, the
governor says, he would be powerless
to enforce the laws and protect
life and property.
"The prohibition law should, in
my judgment, be amended in many
particulars. Experience has shown
the weak and defective points in the
enforcement of the present law,"
says the message. "Our purpose is
to minimize the evils of liquor. We
need a law that can be effectively and
rigidly enforced. From a careful
survey and observation of the entire
State, I recommend that the
present law, known as the 'gallon-amonth
law,' should be amended and
strengthened in many particulars."
The governor does not go into the
details of these amendments, but in
a general way advises that the quantity
of liquor allowed each person
per month be reduced, and that, as
a substitute for liquor, wine and
beer, with stated percentages of alcohol,
be permitted as an alternative.
That thfl imDortation of liquors,
wines, and beer by minors, college
students and women other than heads
of families be prohibited. "I earnestly
desire a reduction in drunkennessand
crime. I believe that the enactment
of a sane but strict law regulating
the importation of liquor,
strictly enforced, would bring such a
result."
As regards good roads, the governor
recommends the passage of at
least two laws. First, a law creating
a State highway department and assenting
to the provisions of the federal
aid roads act; second, a motor
vehicle law requiring the licensing
of motor vehicles by the State and
the use on the roads of the net revenue
thus derived Failure to create
this highway department would mean
the forfeiture of the State's portion
of the federal good roads fund.
Such amendments as necessary are
urged to the Torrens system of land
registration so as to make the law
^practical and workable.

Carlisle School Notes.
Carlisle opened doors after a vacation
of ten days on Wednesday, January
3. The year has started off
with a spirit of work pervading the
atmosphere. It took the students an
unusually short time to get started
back to work. Everything is now
running as though there had been no
holidays.
Quite a number of new students
have enrolled for the coming term.
Although some students did not re- s
turn their places have been filled by
others and the school is nearly filled
? : -c.
to its capacity. *,
As spring draws, nearer there is a
great deal of talk concerning the
prospects of a good baseball team. '
Last year Carlisle had an unusually
strong team, winning nearly every -
game. The prospects for * a good
team are exceedingly bright this year
and the manager, Prof. W. C. Duncan,
will be glad to arrange for ^
games with any good high school or
preparatory school team. * v. ". ^
Mr. and Mrs^ Bissell Beach h^ve '
been visiting Mrs. J. J. Beach during
the past week. Mrs. Bissell Beach
was at one time an instructor in the
primary department here. ,
urged, to conform to the federal law
now in operation.
\ Agricultural education in the com-- mon
schools is suggested as one
means of combatting the boll weevil, ;
which the governor considers will be.V
a permanent factor in agriculture \ *
when .it arrives. An appropriation
of $30,000 will be necessary to carry
on the work of cattle^ tick eradi- ^
cation, which the governor hopes will
be concluded in the next two years. f:
The governor renews his recom- ' { ' /
mendations of last year in regard to " '
the State warehouse system.
The management of the State Hoe- ;
pital for the Insane is all that could ,;-~i
be desired, says the governor.# A y- |8
continuance of the liberal policy of
the general assembly toward this institution
is urged. The result of the Vxj
policy shows for itself. < C
South Carolina is one of fifteen J
States that make no provision for
the care of feeble-minded, but not
totally insahe, persons, and the governor
recommends that provision be ?
jmade for such an institution, to be I .
placed under the control of the board ' v y
of regents of the State Insane asy- :M
\ lum, but that it be separate from the |
State hospital, both in management ; "r
and location.
Liberal appropriation is urged for
the support and comfort of the Con- ,
federate veterans, who are growingsmaller
in number each year. .
In regard to the fire insurance
matter, the governor states that he J
appointed a special commission to * j
study this matter^ and the commis- %
sion will make its report direct to the
general assembly. The governor
urges such legislation as necessary to
adjust all insurance difficulties andi
* ' >?A A- ~ e nn/vnla
protect tne mieresia ui liic pcvKcc. . . aThe
salaries now provided by law
for judges and some other State o> , *
ficers, were fixed when the cost of liy- '
ing was much less than at present,
and the governor says that it is a simple
matter of justice that these
salaries should now be increased, so ^ M
as to provide adeq,ua?e compensation
for those who are capable and efficient
and qualified for the positions
they hold.
I The governor calls attention to; .
the fact that the present tax levy is
inadequate to meet the demands of
the State, and that it is imperative *
that either the expenditures of the #
- 1 - 1 1? J nn Vi of -mnra
S12>16 must utJ rtjuutcu ui* iuuv iuv*v ><
revenue must be raised. Good business
requires that our revenues
should at least equal our expehdi- ";'?|
tures. ' The governor says that the * ^
collection of the income tax is a \
farce as it now stands. The law
should be either made effective or repealed.
An inheritance tax law is ;
recommended, the governor believing1
that such a law would be just. South
Carolina, Florida and New Mexico
are the only States which have no
such law, it is said.
In conclusion, the governor says:
"It is of the greatest importance that
all appropriations be closely scrutinized
and every item carefully and
thoroughly investigated before being
finally passed upon. We must consider
the needs of our various departments
and institutions. We must al- '
so consider the sources of revenue
from which these needs must be met.
Thp norket book of the tax Dayer is
? r _
sensitive. The people's money must
he spent judiciously, and the burden ^
of taxes kept down to the minimum
which is consistent with efficiency.
Yet we must realize that money has
to be spent if we,are to progress.
We cannot compare conditions now
with past years, because the demands *
upon the State are greater, and ini
creasing each year."
