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

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

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

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

seieneo and culture, with1.) per eent.;
Turkey, atonce the shame and disgraeo

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

and fortitude were tosied on a hundred

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

education in South Carolina costs toe.

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

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

and womanhood. It docs, I believe, in

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

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

Genuine Christianity enkindles intellectual

?Everybody knows how hard it is
, to look entirely unconscious if you
have nothing to put in the plate when
' a collection is being taken, but it is an
impossibility >n a certain New York
church, where the. contribution box
1 used contains a small bell concealed in
it, which rings only when a eontribu1
lion is made. The collection is usually
taken during the sermon, and no
stingy churchgoer can fail detection.
?Greo.t barber surgeons in the
i Levant use large ants to keep together
? the edges of cuts. Tho ant, held with
i forceps, opens its mandibles wide, and
as soon as it seizes tho edges of the
wound lias its head sovored from tho
body, but retains its grip. People
. liuvo been seen with wounds healing
held together by seven or eight ants'
i heads. The kind used is a species of
big-headed ea-epono.ua.

bargains. She is down town every
bargain day, and never gets home until

if she couhi be laid out on a bargain

? "Our now neighbors are very polite,"

they'd send and buy one."
