9 I The One Who Stays at Home. H * Thy wheels of the world go round and \ round, \ i In the press of the busy throng, t Morn with its matin melody, And night with its vrspeV song; ! The tides are out and?he tides are in, | Like the sea with its' ebb and tlow, j ? For there's always one to stay at home < Whore therein one to go. ? i Abroad on the highway's noisy track There is rush of hurrying feel, The sparks tly out from the wheels of | time i To brighten the bitter and sweet; But apart from the beaten road and path, , Where the pulse of earth runs slow, There is always one to stay at home W here there is one to go. Over and ovei good-bys are said In tones that die with the day, When eyes are wet that cannot forgot, And smiles have faded away ; Bmiles that are worn as over a grave Flowers will blossom and blow; For there's always one to stay at liome Where there is one to go. Always one for the little tasks Of a day that is never done; Always one to sit down at night And watch with the stars alone; And he who tights on the world's broad Held, With banner and blast and drum, Little dreams he of a battle gained By the one who stayed at home. Inaugural Address. Governor Ellerbe Not Bound by Factional Lines. Ihe Constitution and Laws Will Be His Guide in All Things. Aii Independent, /Wanly Assertion ol His Purposes. Tho following is tho inaugural ml dress of Win. II. Kllorbo as Oovernor of South Carolina, which wnsdclivered on Monday at noon : Fellow Citizens : You have called me to tho highest ofliec within your gift. In assuming the duties of this most important trust, 1 cannot express in fitting words my high appreciation of the eonfidenco placed in mo. This great honor, 1 already realize, carries with it great responsibilities. Without your warm support, upon which I confidently rely, 1 shall bo unable to meet and ovorcomo tho many dillicultioB already apparent. It has long been tho custom of the incoming Governor to outline, in his inaugural address, tho policy of bis administration. In obedience to this timehonored custom, i shall attempt briefly to set before you tho course which I shall endeavor to pursue during my term of oflico. Untrammoled by obligations or pledges inconsistent with tho welfare of the people, it shall be my highest ambition to discharge my duties faithfully and impartially. '1 ho solemn oath of otlice which I have just taken binds mo to no political party or faction, but it does bind mo to preserve, to protect and to defend both tho constitution of this State and of the United States. Under our form of irovornniftnt. fait h fulness to our fundamental laws aiul zeal for the public welfare arc all that j is demanded of citizens assuming public trusts. To support the constitution, the foundation of our free governments, is the duty of every citizen. Upon this consideration, 1 have a right to expect the support of all good citizens and you have a right to demand that 1, in the administration of the laws, give "equal rights to all and special privileges to none." To administer faithfully the laws : to lighten, by all worthy 'means, the burden of taxation ; to develop the resources of the State ; to protect the industries of her citizens ; to encourage immigration of the right sort: to foster our institutions of learning, both church and State : to enhance the ellicieney of our public schools ; to sustain our penal and charitable and other institutions?shall be my earnest desire and unalterable purpose. In matters of detail, however, I deem it best to make to the General Assembly by special message, such recommendations as may from time to time occur to me, and the exigencies of the case may demand. To the intelligence and patriotism of this body we must look for the enactment of laws which may best protect the people's interests. 1 have neither the power nor inclination to force your representatives to accept my views. At all times 1 stand ready to co-operate with them, to council and to advise. TAXATION. Without taxation, direct or indirect, no government can bo maintained. All patriotic citizens cheerfully bear their part of the burden of taxation when the all'airs of state are wisely and economically managed. It is only when the revenues of the State are squandered or unwisely and extravagantly expended, or when borne classes of property escape taxation and the burden of supporting the government is, therefore, unequally distributed, that the people complain. It is clear then that all taxable property should be assessed and that groat eare should be taken in the equalization of assessments. The legislators are the servants of the people, entrusted with the delicate responsibility of appropria- 1 ting public funds; und. like good busi- ! ness men, they should endeavor to ex- j pend every dollar wisely and economically. To eocuro the best government, j at the least expense to the people, should > 0 the eonstart aim of every legibla'- It is the pari of a statesman t" ' ek to lighten tho burden of taxatio" when this can bo d mo without del 1 intent to tho public interest;! but t<^ cripple or destroy institutions, established for the benefit of the people, merely to reduce tho tux rah . is neither wise nor statesman-like. To pursue tho one course is to advance : to pursue the other is to retrograde, it shall bo my policy then, toenuei vor to increase, in every legitimate \v* y, our taxable orooortv. This can >??? done? I y inducing worthy I Immigrants to our midst, and 03 teaching our own people to diversify 1 nd irnprovo in every possible way. (t is thus that wo shall be able to bring under cultivation vast stretches of 1 eh, until led lands and at the same t mo, to improve noil already made poor ly improper tillage. Our climate is, perhaps, on the whole, as delightful as f ^ L. % my on this continent. Our winters are < ihort and our summers lon^r, but not warmer than at the North. Stock rojulro loss food, and man less clothing .ban in colder sections. .. 1 Our truck farmers have an immense idvantage over their Northern competitors. We are no longer dopondnnt ipon the Western farmer for corn and >ats and hay and pork and beef. In >01110 sections tobacco culture has already bccomo a proiitablo industry. Wo have perhaps the advantage of Northern and Western farmers in ...1 AMJI Mtlllt 111?l: i > i * n |H i 19, <11111 ?> i i 11 rui/UMi ?o <? jure money crop, wo can offer to immigrants advantages not possessed by ary other section. There is now reason to believe that the manufacturers of Now i Knglaud are already looking towards the South. They are beginning to re- i ali/.o that it is cheaper to bring their mills to the cotton than to tako the cotton to the mills. With our splendid water powers, many of which are undeveloped for lack of capital, but which, if harnessed for the use of man, would materially incrouso our wealth, wo ought, it seems to mo, to call the attention of the outside world not only to these unparalelled advantages, hut also to our genial climate, the richness and variety of our soil, our mineral wealth, our splendid forests of pine and oak and hickory and walnut and gum and other varieties of trees. South Carolina ought to becorao a great manufacturing State. Wo need a variety of industries. There should bo no antagonism between the farmer and the manufacturer, between the citizen of the town and the citi/.on of the country. Their interests are mutual, l ivery exclusively agricultural country is not only dependent, but poor, and tho poverty of the South is duo nut alone to desolation of war, but to the lack of the arts and industries which nave imiuu tlio A or lb rich. At tbe Btiiuo time, wo Bhoulil not in our zeal to foster munufuctoricB, commit the fatal blunder of neglecting or failing to protee' our agricultural interests, which lie at the basis of all our prosperity. Capital, it is said, is cowardly. At any rate it seeks a solid basis for investment. Wo ought, on this account, to inspire in tlio outside world tlio confidence that legitimate investments made in South Carolina shall not be disturbed by unjust legislation, and, at tlio same time, we should protect and encourage industries already established. I f we rigidly pursue this policy during the next decade, wo shall be able to double the material wealth of the State, and thereby to reduce the rate of taxation by increasing our taxable property. lllSPKNSAK V. The most diflicult ;uiU perplexing problem with which the people in all civilized countries should contend is that of the liquor trallio. All the efforts of the legislators to cope with thchydraheaded monstorof alcoholism have been unsatisfactory and im IIactual. Prohibition has been tried repeatedly in different States, and, while it has failed to check drunkenness, it has encouraged hypocrisy, evasion or open violation of the law. I ts ad vacates are uneuestionablv in spired by tho loftiest of motives, but liumuii nature remains forever tho same ; and, while legislators may enact laws for the punishment of crime, they can never force men to become virtuous or sober. So vast a problem as that of tho liquor tratlic demands for its solution tho co-operation and combined wisdom of all the people. Local option cannot, therefore, settle it, except temporarily and to a very limited extent. The open saloon is a constant menace and a disgrace to civilization. As is well known, I was at first not an advocate of the dispensary law and 1 was skeptical as t ? its ever being a success in any form. I can no', therefore bo considered as unduly biased in its favor and 1 have arrived at my present conclusion in regard to it somewhat against my will. The opinion reached by me, after a thorough investigation of iis working throughout tho State, and after having tho views of a good many intelligent and good men, is that tho law is a great improvement over the old licence system and that it deserves to bo fully tried, in its present form, before there is any radical change made. The proof is overwhelming that there is less drunkenness now than formerly i and that the consumption of liquor lias boon largely decreased. This is acknowledged by every fair-minded man, and that the masses of the people are averse to returning to the license system in any form is very evident to any man who has mingled with them. Having stated my opinion as to the policy the State should pursue, 1 feel it my duty to enter at some length on the workings and merits of the law, and point out the severe tests to which it has been subjected. It is not saying too much to assert that it has never hud a fair chance. Headed during a period of intense political activity, when prejudice and party spirit were running high, it was opposed hy many on political grounds puroly, without consideration of its purpose or merit, and every possible obstruction thrown in its way. The Federal courts hy injunctions have crippled its enforcement seriously. After the Darlington trouble had been quieted the decision of tho Supremo Court declaring the law unconstitutional came to undo ail the work that had been done. VVhilo it demonstrated the utter futility of prohibition it at the same time initiated the sale of liquor without license in every neighborhood and many who then began the nefarious trallle never ceased to lollow it, and are still selling liquor as much as thuy dare. Of what uso is it to argue that tho State should not sell liquor to its citizens or roup a profit from tho "blood money," us sonic term it, when they advocate licensing its sulc and thus sharing in the profits made by the private dealer ? One system is just us immoral hs the othor, if tiiorc is immorality in either. Hut the monopoly of the sui j by the Statu enables it to control in a measure and minimi/.o the evil, and the profits which arc but of secondary consideration to the Statu are shared by all tho people. On the other hand tho licensing of it? salo to private parties would create a monopoply just as certainly as the existing one .v private monopoly which has never l> en and will never ho controlled by law, and tho protits which then bccouiQ tho paramount object are shared by the State and the barkeeper. There is a monopoly in cither caso and the Stale in one instanco reaps all tho profits and seeks only to promoto tho cause of Uinn ranco and roduco tho evil to a minimum. In tho othor the prolit 'arg*ly to private individuals and there is no thought of roduicin/ t:i 5 consumption of liquor and pro.ii'it:n^ lobriety; wiiilo ex|)Orienco lias shown beyond dispute that private pain stimulate* the sale in every yvay. posslb'o and encourages the G$U? t.j , Tnere a e no " b.'.ckstatrs " or "4l' Mid door.-." to the disp? nsaries, but there never wii. n birrOOtn whlcu did not i sell liquor on the sly 011 public occasions when the law required it to bo 7 j / \ \ \ closed. The dispensary is open only in the daytime and when ordered to be elosod, as on circus days and during the fair in Colutnhiu, they wero closed, and but few drunken men could be found in the city, though tho crowd was immense. Mho Slate can alTord to lose proQt on such occasions, but under no system of licenso has it over been possible to shut the bars. Private greed is not to bo controlled and heroin lies the grout merit of the systom. Then the closing of the dispensaries at nip lit anu the destruction of treating by forbidding the sealed packages being ononed on the premises. These three features arc the ones which make the dispensary law popular in spite of "shortages" in dispensers' accounts and " rebates," whether real or imaginary. Let us try, then, to perfect the systom and punish dishonest dispensers rather than try the old nian which wo know is less conducive to sobriety und good morale. Now, In regard to the administration : of the liiw and the prevention of fruud and stealage, I feel sure that an investigation will show that a great deal has boon said about ' rebates " received >?y the ollicers charged with the execution of tho dispensary law that has little foundation; but should the contrary bo shown 1 feel that a system can bo devised or is already in forco which will free tho law from criticism on that score. My experience in the comptroller general's oHIco satilies mo that the business can be conducted in such a way as to prevent stealing, or detect und punish it if the dispensers or other < flicors connected with tho dispensary attempt it. There is no reason why sueh checks and safeguards can not bo devised as will protect the State's interest as thoroughly as in the collection and disbursement of taxes and other public money. The dispensary lias become a part of the fixed policy of the State and as long as our present constitution remains intact it ,is tho duty of the Governor to see that the laws governing it are enforced, und it is the duty of all law-abiding citizens to labor for tho same end, or at least to submit to the provisions of tho law. i believe the dispensary comes nearer to the solution of the liquor problem than any other scheme yet proposed by man. It may bo necessary to modify tho law, but constant changes are to bo deplored. The dispensers should bo honest men, selected without regard to party ulliliutions, and when convicted of crime should be handled like other criminals. The chief dlsponsor, tho board of control and all the higher ollicials should be mi>n tv Iiikc Iwmfut.i/ ivunwil lux rmignnn. bly questioned, and who should hold thuir places on account of Illness and not for political reasons. An institution is known by its fruits, and it is simply a question whether prohibition or the dispensary system will do most to diminish drunkenness and its accompanying' ills. Upun moral grounds and only upon moral grounds, the dispensary must stand or fall. The prolit feature is of secondary consideration. EDUCATION TI1K lUJIJLIC SCHOOLS. That it is the duty of the Statu to provido for the education of her children is now almost universally conceded. lie belongs to the past and not to the present who hopes to check the growing demand for popular education. 'The enemies of the public school will find tho entire drift of modern civilization against them. All the leading nations of tho earth have founded, and are still endeavoring to perfect, systems of popular education. Witness Germany with lit per cent, and Franco and England each with 1<> 1-2 per cent, of their population in the schools. To he relegated to tho rear is tho fato of every Statu that j fails to provido for tho training of her childror . Witness Spain, once the leading power of Europe, with only Id per cent; Italy, once the home of art and seieneo and culture, with1.) per eent.; Turkey, atonce the shame and disgraeo of Enrnne. with 2 I-2 imp <>r>n!. with I 1-2, and Urn/'I with only ."I per cent, of hor population at school. The wholo h' iry ?' 11 > I t a oivili/.ation tcnclics \ 'n the- regglo for supremacy, tho te, p.ro of dominion pusses not to the Stato most richly blessed by nature, but to tho Stato that best succoods in training its citizens for all tim duties of life, both public atul private, in peace and in war. In comparison with cold and bleak Now Knghuul tho South is a paradise. And yet it must ho confessed by all fair-minded men that long before the desolating cyclone of war had swept over our fair fields, power and dominion wore already passing rapidly to tho North.. We were already ap-1 preaching a condition of intellectual iumdugo in the. South, it lias been estimated by eminent authority that this section paid annu illy to tho North, for many years before tho war, not les: than $5,000 000 for hooks and education. When New Kngland established her free public schools and strengthened her system of popular instruction, she urin al herself with tho power to wreHt supremacy from the South, which was content with private and parochial schools, and to make good hor claim to leadership far more effectually than she subsequently secured in tho surrender of Ivjo at Appomattox. This is said in no harsh ei iticism of tho generation of men now rapidly passing from the stage, whose courage and fortitude were tosied on a hundred hard-fought Holds, whoso "energy made bricks without straw and soread splendor amid ttio ruins of their war-1 wasted homes but for the purpose of ocnpha?i/.iug a truth which cannot be too deeply impressed upon the minds of the won into whoso nands is committed the solemn responsibility of moulding the destiny of the Stuto and of making her future not unworthy of her proud, inspiring past. To see our own short-comings uud to rise with linn will to correct past mistakes is the part of wisdom. Vain conceit in a State is no more to bo admired than in an individual. 0.ir tehools aro not what they ought to I)?. In tho opportunities thoy offer their youth for education, tho northern and western States havo left us far behind and ill's for reasons beyond our control. Tho war loft us confronted by the most aorious educational problem over thrust upon a froo people iho problem, it has been well - aid, of oducating three times tho number of children with one-third tho money. The war not only robbed us of more than f?0 per cent, of our tax aoio properiy, out it aaaeu atasingio stroke to our school population hut drods of thousands of iilitorato oxs aves. In spite of desperate odds, wo have been moving forward, but the battle is not yet won. South Carolina has not yet r gained bor oneo proud Dosllio'n, in ^t(i s great republic. She can'iJcveV roga n it until hor neoplo, rutin)/-above till partisan hatred, unite in one heroic < llort to make our sys?*^i m in of public it struction inferior to j none. 11 is thus and thus only that wc shall i > triumph iu tho end. Wo should develop our mines, build factories and improve the fertility of our soil ; but our highest, our most sacred duty now and overrnorc must bo to improve the quality of our citizenship, to develop the mind and hcurts of tho rising generation, for upon tlieir intelligence, virtue and patriotism the destiny of our State depends. In u monarchy, in an aristocracy, a few great and good men may govern tho state wisely and well, but in a government of tho people, for the pooplu and by the people, illiteracy is a shame and a disgrace ami a constant menace to tho safoty of the State. All good citizens should unite in the ctTort to improvoour public schools : to lengthen the school term, especially in tho country : to encourage tho foundation of public libraries ; to inaugurate a system of university extension that shall ea ry science and culture to eager minds grasping after better things ; to increase tho number and elliciency of tho farmers' institute, now conducted by the authorities of Clcmson college. In this great work of educating the masses I i?lodj/o mv tin wavnrl ni/ mm port and sympathy. To our highor institutions of learning, tin; public schools must look for ellicient, woll-traincd touchers. Destroy or cripple our colleges and you destroy and cripple all hope of better public schools. As a stream cannot rise higher than the fountain head, so will teaching in the puolic schools remain low and unsatisfactory until those who are to engage in this work seek the hotter to equip themselves in the higher somlnp; icsof learning. Nor is this all. Toe primary school, it is said, has a right to live because it lits people for the duties of oitizonship. Hut for what duties? To reud, to write, to cipher? Does this lit them for the duties of citizenship? For the lowest perhaps, but what of the highest? Do not the highest duties require the amplest scholarship, the highest and noblest training that can be given ? Can the free school lit for the highest duties of statesmanship? Assuredly not. For the solution of great and ofttimes perplexing problems Involving the peace and prosperity *of all the poo pie thdStato stands in constant need of men of the highest scholarship, of the profoundost knowledge of law ; men whose mental grasp is large enough to sweep tho whole horizon ; men able to rise above local or even State interests arid to act for the common good of the people of all the States. It is tho chief pride and glory of our State to claim for her sons men whose numes are forever inscribed in the history of this nation. Such were Legarc and Sims and lluync and Preston and McDuflie and the greatCalhoun. From her hiils and valleys may still go forth men who shall notonly bless their State and nation, but humanity itself. Again, docs tho common school train men for the professions of law, of medicine? Does it equip thorn for scientific pursuits ? Does it send out expert chemists and neolo^ists and engineers unci scientific agriculturalists ? it can uovcr train men for the manifold pursuits and professions open to tho ambitious youth of tho State. For those wo must furnish needed training in seminaries of learning or look to other States to do for us what we should do for ourselves, and spend money abroad for what tiro State eoii'd supply. Agaiust such a fate State pride and patriotism alike rebel. Such a disaster would full with crushing weight upon ti e sous and daughters o! the poor, who would he unable to meef tho expenses of an education at the North. But wo are told that higher education in South Carolina costs toe. much. Docs it not cost less than anywhere else in the world V Harvard, with her .'1,000 students, has an annual income of more than $1,000,000?a cost of $100 per student, and this, too, with no account taken of tho millions already in vested in buildings and books and scientific equipment. And yotwhc will say that tho vast sums Invested in tliis great university fail to bring in adequate returns? Dots Virginia com plain of the $100,000 annually spent for tho 500 young men at her university Have not Michigan and Wisconsin and Minnesota and Nobruskaand California been amply repaid for the millions in recent years devoted to higher education ? A tax of $100,000 for higher education in South Carolina means hut little more than 50cents for every thousand dollars of taxable property. Such a tax, even were there no adequate returns, is no burden to any one. Hut it does bring adequate returns in manhood and womanhood. It docs, I believe, in liio iuijk i nn, jmy mm* tuu i nvusuuoni in dollars and cents. There can bo. there must be no conlliot between church and Slato colleges. There should be generous rivalry, but open or covert antagonism is disastrous to the interests of both. Colleges founded by thochurchos and by private bene-licence have performed, and are still performing, a great and patriotic service, but no Slato should surrender to private philanthropy or denominational zeal its sacred, inalienable right and solemn duty of placing within roach of all her children the bread of knowledge, /^al in educational work is contagious. The church school nourishes best in those States where public spirit rallies to the support of the State colleges, or to speak more philosophically, wherever the church is healthiest there all public institutions for tho good of men tlnd their warmest support. Genuine Christianity enkindles intellectual lifo, arouses man from lethargy and creates within him public spirit and patriotism and an unfailing interest in tho welfare of others. In Mexico, in Brazil, in S;-?i i, whorcvcr in short, Christianity I "i b^o ^ stagnant, there all pub c enterprises languish 1) si roy or cripple our denominational colleges and \ >u t.ike from our civiliz ition its strong, unlifting force; but destroy or cripple our .State Institutions, and you take tho road which has carried Spain, once the leading power and naturally tho richest country of Burope, to tho roar iu tho triumphal march ol civil!/, ition, Thero should of course be no whs to in our educational resources.
