Ho Advance* I'ronouiicoil VIown on tho lioailittK <^ue*ttonn, Which Arc liikely t?> be IHhcunmc<l this Session. tlov. McSweeney's Message was road before l>ot h Houses of the (Jencral Assembly on Tuesday, Jan l.'i. We have room only for a synopsis of the able document. He made anuml>erof recommendations, briefly stated as follows: 1. A compliance with the clear mandate of the Constitution that "all taxes upon property, real and personal, shall be lain upon the actual value of the property taxed" not f>o per cent of its actual value, nor <>0 per cent, nor yet so percent, as is the case now in some parts of the State; but upon the actual value. 2. A general system of road improvement, to be paid for by a property tax, to be levied on all taxable property, whether situated in town or count rv. 3. The enactment of a compulsory education law. 4. "State aid to tho public schools and such an appropriation as will "bring up the delioient schools to a minimum standard"?the appropriation not to he less than the aggregate amount appropriated for the support of the State colleges. f?. The creat Ion of County Hoards of Education and the einplvment of expert Superintendents of Education, in accordance with the recommendation of the State Superintendent, so that a business in which the State invests nearly a million dollars every year shall not bo without capable business supervision. ti. The establishment of Home Schools for (lirls and Farm Schools for Hoys in such counties as- shall, by special Act of the Legislature, vote ' upon themselves a tax not exceeding two mills for the . support of such schools. 7. The continued favor of the Conoral Assembly towards the several State colleges. 8. The passage of a law prohibiting 1 t he employment of children in t he cotton mills of the State. ( it. The building of a new house for ' the flovernor, the present Executive ' Mansion being utterly inadequate. 10. An increase in the number of 1 judical circuits in (lie State, instead of making any further attempt to re- > iieve legal congest ion by the expedient ( of ordering special Courts. 1 11. The imposition of a tax of 2 per > cent on all outside insurance com- 1 panics doing business in the State on c the gross premiums collected in the 1 State, instead of the tax now required ' of these companies', and the payment by each agent or representat ive of an 1 Insurance company soliciting insurance ! in the State of a small sum for a 1 licence to do business. In lool these ; companies collected from the people 1 cm iin- nunc i i.aim paid n:icK in losses for the same time $1,227, 81. 1 The companies realized on the year's business in this State $1,11)3,140 (M?. 12. The eure of certain growing evils of t he pension system adopted by the State for the relief of old Confederate soldiers, by having the executive otllccrs of the Camps of United Confederate Veterans in each county act as the county pension l)oard, or having the survivors to elect the members of the pension boards. Last year the State paid $200,000 to indigent Confederate Veterans, four times the amount llrst appropriated for this purpose three or four year ago, and 1 he Comptroller General reported that there are now 7,7f>0 names on the pension rolls of the State. It is a growing evil against which the Governor would have the Legislature provide. lit. Ample provision for t he support of t he State militia, upon the st rcngt h of which "rests at last the safety of our structure of civil government. 14. The creation of the ofllce of State Bacteriologist, so that the work of the State Board of Health may be more elTectivo and the health of the people protected and promoted. If). Provision for the publication of the hi valuable historical records of the State at Columbia which are inaccssible in their present condition to those who would consult them. 1H. The establishment of a bureau of Immigration for the purpose of keeping the resources of the Stale steadily and intelligently before t he Investment and home-seeking world. The above we take from The News and Courier. What follows below is from The State: The last annual message of Gov. MrSweeney gives a view or South Carolina which presents many points of gratification and encouragement.. The State, he says, "has enjoyed an era of material prosperity which is unprecedented;" "new enterprises are being projected and the building of cotton mills goes constantly on; business of every character has been except ionally prosperous; peace and goon order prevail, and progress h;is been made along educational lines." The only conspicuous cause for dissatisfaction is the inability of the State to meet, during the year the obligations it had incurred. As to this the Governor says: The Governor and the State t reasurer were forced to borrow the full amount of the authorized by the last legislature. This was made necessary by the fact t hat the last appropriation act carried with it more than the revenue from the levy for ' State purposes would realize. It is not good business judgment for the State to borrow money to meet current ex- I penscs. Knowing the total assessed property of the State, the levy should be sutllciently large to meet the appro- 1 priat ions. Or if it is desired to lix (meaning, we judge, to maintain at ( the present rate) the levy the appro- 1 prlation hill should be kept, wit hin the amount such levy will realize. \ You should so regulate the two that the Slate will not be compelled to l>or- 1 row money for current expenses and be forced to pay interest charges. Which is sound advice, obviously de- 1 manded by the occasion. The governor goes on to make a good argument in favor of such a measure as The 1 State has for years advocated, to wit, 1 the assessment of property at its actual value as required by the constitution. "Why not follow/' asks the governor, "the plain language of the con- < stitutionV" lie shows by illustration i that a great variance exists between < the tax burdens laid on ditTcrent conn- i ties, the basis for taxation In some l>eing 80 per cent. of actual value and in i I To adopt a more percentile'of aVtuai value fa, as he says, "a plain violation of the provisions of the const It lit Ion.** "It makes little difference to the taxpayer what the basis of valuat Ion is so that all property is assessed in the same ratio of value, for a certain amount of money has to be raised to meet the expenses of government, and if the valuat Ion is high t he rate Is low. and vice versa. The inequality which now exists, however, makes the burden bear unevenly, and the In-st .plan is to require t hat the mandate of I In* constitution lie followed. If one conn ty is assessed at s<> per cent, and another at f?o i>er cent, of actual value, one is paying too much or the other is paying too little of its promotion of the State tax." All this should hardly need t he saying. There is hut one nominal Objection to assessing property at its true value, and that is not really an objection, but a recommendation. It is that the receipts from the .'t mill tax for public schools will be largely increased thereby. We all know that our school system is defect ive, I hat the schools need more money, that every community in the Stab* which is resolved upon having good schools must now levy an extra tax, and that the ways and means of improving our educational system form an engrossing] subject or thought. The solution of tho whole matter Is to obey tiie constitution in the matter of assessments of proper! y iiiul thereby increase t! n% general school fund. This would permit nearly all special school taxes to he done away with and would provide for even t he most l>ual<ward communities a sutlieieney of public instruction. If it should prove that tho const it utional mill tax provided under a full assessment a larger sum for the com* moil schools than was required it would ho no d illicit It mat t er to amend tho constitution so as to reduce that tax to 2 mills, the former figure. I'.ut meanwhile the legislature owes it to itsown pledge to obey the constitution, to the educational Intcrostsol tlie State and to equity between man and man, county and county, to provide for the assessment of property at its t rue value. The total assessments for l!K)2 wen $lt).5,537,0<llt being an increase during the year of $0,203,052. lb-ally is returned at $107,010,208 and.personalty at $01,018,600. and railroad property is assessed at $27,50S,203. It is lair toassutiic, what the census figures will show, that instead of less than $200,iioo.noo of property South ('arolina lias < more t ban $400,000,000 subject to t a xation. Under the present system the tax-dodgers get thehenelit of tiled if- > ference, leaving honest citizens, w ill- I Ing to hear their share of the public 1 burdens, wit h t In- weight Of taxation i upon them. I The governor devotes several pages I )f his message to a conslderat ion of < die question of road improvement, and ie advocates a property tax to furnish < lie means of systematically and per- ' nanently providing the Stale with i food highways. The plan at present ' 01 lowed in most counties of tinkering < >n tho roads involves, he rightly says, f ncrc ?v as to of money, "'laic chain- tj fang should he required to do pcrma- < lent road work, starling from the :ounty court houses as the gcographi- t :al centre and building out in each ( lirection permanent roads. If only a ; icw miles are built each year it will i be so much contrihutcd to the general ' welfare. 'Plie State convicts could not lie put to better publie service, even < If It necessitated selling soino of the s State farms. We can never have any < permanent road work done until we l change tlie present system and make provision to raise money by a property tax, and make It mandatory t bat said < money shail he put on permanent road improvement. and also make it mandatory that tie- chain gangs shall be put on the same work." Tills is t he system which has boon adopted with so great success in liichland county, and its results point the opportunity and the duty of the general assembly. The governor's conclusions in this matter tire those which The State reached years ago and litis from time to time submit ted to the consideration of the law-making body. Compulsory educalion is championed by Gov. McSwcenoy. Ho shows from census ligures that the illiteracy of native whites over ten years of age is 1H.1 per cent,, and declared that lie cannot see how in the face of litis, fact there can be opposition to compelling the attendance of children on the public schools. "It is not necessary," Be proceeds, "to worry about the negro. lie is getting till the education which is provided now and could get no more under compulsory at t endance. What we should be concerned about is t lie educat ion and t lie moral uplift ing of our white boys and girls. Ignorance Is a menace and a burden to civil liberty and the good morals of the country. In addition to thiSi every boy <>r girl in tills country has a right to the opportunity to do something and to be something. Such a law cannot interfere with the rights of parents, because 110 parent lias the right to make a slave out, of bis nM'-snHmr nr in mil ? T v? ?v' ,w" his child of I ho right to make a useful citizen or to have tlie opportunity to live a useful and happy life. We ievy a tax and enforce the collection of it for public educat ion; t hen why not enforce attendance so t hat all t lie children may receive the benelitsand have the money put to the best possible use and forthe greatest possible good to the greatest number?" In this matter also the position of the governor is that of The State. Compulsory attendance on the public schools would greatly enlarge the benclits of the schools to white children while not materially increasing t lie already great attendance of negro pupils. With the constitutional school tax levied on property at its actual value there would be an abundance of money to maintain the schools nine months in the year and thus a law to compel attendance would have its full and desired clfcct. For the improvement of the common schools Uov. McSwccney, in addition to t he t liree mill const it ut ional tax for school purposes, asks a legislative appropriation equaling the aggregate appropriat ions for t he State colleges. He also says t hai it would be "in the interest of economy to expend iu,uuu a year in each county to insure Iho proper supervision and direction of all the money that is now being ex- ( pcnded in schools." He endorses the 1 plan of the State superintendent of education of home schools for girls and farm schools for boys in the several counties and urges legislat ion permitling each count v to vote upon itself a tax not exceeding two mills for such schools. All these and ot her improvements, as we have intimated, would < result wit hod t further legislative en- j < fictmcnt from the assessment of prop- j: crty in South Carolina at its act ual I value in money. I A paragraph in the message is de-,v voted to each of the State institutions 1 >f higher learning, and as to each the governor displays the friendly Inter-1( est he has. exhibited throughout his I id ministration. < On the subject.of child lalor, one of ' the most import ant to come before ' v?v a.vn.u?ui> (I u 11114 fcCMlOfh Oov.

In- shows l hat to meet the competition of other communities in inanulacturlng we must have skilled and intelligent labor, which "can only lie secured in the .-perat i ves of the tut uic by edueat ion and preparation of I he children ol I he presentTin n, from the standpoint of humanity, lie shows il to be I lie duty of t he Slate to protect the children of the mill communities. It is a fallacy, lie argues, that a child labor law is an interference with family government. "The child is not a chattel or an accident, hut it has rights in the divine plan which even elie parent must respect. It is lie re for a purpose, and should have opportunity for the best possible t raining and edueat ion to tit it for t lie accomplishment of that purpose. Then too, it is sometimes a question wither (.lie State or tlie corporal ion shall say wiiui is io ne uone wn ii i lie child, for many times I ho parent who lives in t he mill communit y must he governed hy what the mill company says, and cannot always send his children to school, even it' he desires to do so, if t lie la I Mir of t he child is needed in the mill." After presenting statistics showing the great and increasing evil of child labor in t lie soul h in eonl rast with its reduction in other sections, l lie governor concludes: fThe ijuest ion must he met. There ^ isotilyone way to solve it,and that \ is on 1 lie side of right and justice and humanity. The sooner it Is done the heller, lot it can now he managed and a wise and just hill be passed. If the II matter is postponed from year to year we may regret it. Not "may'' but "shall." This is t lie t ime of all t imes to dispose of t he L matter.

Li lb* recommends the erection ol' a A lew executive mansion on grounds Li iwned hy the South Carolina college ind suggests a joint legislatives coin* At nit tee to investigate the matter and cport a plan. The demand for ext ra courts in variiiis counties causes the governor to Ci uiggest an increase in t he number of i re nits. We have the same number at now as in IS70, he says, when the pop- m alat ion was but half its present tigure, N and there were only 21 counties in comparison with 11 in It toil. LI lie concurs in the recommendation at of t he comptroller general that In- I. stead of the present system of 1 icons- 12 ing insunuioe comnaniesa tax of 2 per ce cent , on tTie gross premiums collected to hi' imposed, <>lher reeommendat ions (i by tin' coinpl rollct general are ap- d; proved. 1(1 In the matter of pensions (lov. Me-| Sweeney declares t hat "it is not the 5 purpose of our pension laws to pen- It sion all wlio were deserving (.'onfed- 7 crate soldiers, hut only those who are L needy." 41 Wo started with an appro- t priat ion of $.">0,000. t ho last year it had it reached $200,000. That I here afo many K on the county rolls who do not need 8 the assistance oft lie State is a matter which is attracting the notice of | many < onicu -rate soldiers themselves, and this fact is in violation of the in- *s tent ion lor which our pension laws wore enacted." He rightly places the i responsibility for this cbndltlon upon ^ the county hoards, whichoften argue that as the money is already appropriated "the more they can get for their counties the better, and thus put on the rolls those wdio, though they come within the strict letter of the law, under its intention should ? not he t here." There are now 7,750 r pensioners on the rolls. The governor J surests a change in t he constitution } of the county hoards and concludes J with tin' statement that while no E Confederate soldier should be permit- J ted to suiter for lack of the necessaries * of life it is "not the intention of the j law to give bounty to those who do not need assistance, however dcscrv- ' ing they may he." In this position, ? again, (lov. >icSweene.v is in line with ' The State. We believe I hat a proper ^ disposit ion of t he pension fund would j save $100,000 a year to the State without depriving any veteran victim of ] the war of Ihe money he needs for his support. The work of t he various departments and public charitable and correctional institutions is brielly considered by I1 the governor, his remarks, however, tl calling for no special comment . The most important of his fort her mendat ions is that a department of immigration be established. This is and has long been one of the State's most serious needs, and it is to bo hoped that the general assembly will .? take some aotion to promote the coming to South Carolina of desirable immigrants. The Smallpox. The governor has been olllcially notilled by Mr. .1. M. Lalloehe, chairman board of township commissioners that there is quite an epidemic of smallpox on Kdisto Island, -one of the islands of the coast of South Carolina. He says that there arc now some 1 *?0 cases and that the disease is spreading. Dr. IOvans of the State Hoard of Health has been notified and asked by the Governor to send a well-informed physician to take the matter in hand. Koilol Dyspepsia Cure.
