JA. 23, 1896. ovERlNOn& MES1iAGE. 10 aniual moeessago of Gover Evans to the Gonoral Assom bly of South Carolina is full of interesting matter and sound sug gestions. He notices thc. history of the past year in reference to the Con stitutional Convention and does not spare the white men and ne groes, who attempted to defeat the holding of the convention. Ex Senator Butler is alidued toas the chief actor in this design against the will of the white people of South Carolina and .ludge GotT'si partsan decisn is mentioneid showin the dager to the govern men t of 1. Sta*te anid whit-e ccon trol of public .iTairs. The Governv is provu of the fact that. i . - .: a) the ef forts to the c:.ntrary. the convveni tion was he.d and has giveni the the ."Ca sfie cr. itto an he pr&sent duties. Aftr seakr-gef the sufrage right he :mmcai:. 3s legislationi as fi'ws It will readily appear to you that different heislat ion is re quired for the period uI) to Jani uary, 19S, from that thereafter. I would suggest, however, to your honorable body that all the pro visions of tho constitution and your legislation in reforenco thoro to b comprised in one statuto as it is exceedingly desirablo that it should be thoroughly circulated among the citizens of the State. Designing demagoguos are alroady at vork filling th( oars and ieaIds of confiding Constituionts with false impressions concerning the provisions of the constitution, and thore is no safor plan to sot at naught such falsehoods than by allowing the people to see and road for themselves. Ho calls attention to foreign ownership of land anid tho game preserves on the coasts and pro tests against the conversion of these fertilo lands to scod pur. poses and calls upon the legisla. turo to meet the evil wvith applro) priato logislation. His romarks on special legislation are prIopCi and the reconnnendation to avoi( it by general laws shlould~ be adopt od. He suggests that the businose in the courts requires ton circuit judges and ton solicitors. His recommendation on lynch ing wvill meot the approval of th. civilized world. Hie favors pensions forConfoder ate veterans and calls for suitabl logislation as 10ollows: It is made the duty of you honorable body at your first ses sion after the adoption of th constitution to provideosuch prolf er and liberal legislation as wil guarantee and secure an annui pension-to every indigent or (in ablod Confederate soldier and sail or of this State and of the lati Confederate States who are citi zens5 of this State and also to thi indigent widows of Confoderaf soldiers and sailors. I feel tha' it is absolutely unnecessary for m to say one word in reference t this matter to enable you to roa] ize your duty. Most of you ar Confederate veterans and thios who are not are sons of Confedoi ate soldiers. If there is one thin dear to the hearts of South Cart linians it is the memory of thm lost cause. A State that exhausi ed her all to maintaini it canno be ungrateful in her hour of pros perity to the indigent and disa ble veteran who stands as a livin monument of the principles whici must finally prevail to poerpetuat this republic. Let your appropri ation be as the constitution direct proper and liberal. - b suggests that no nowv coun ties can be mnade at this session as the provisions of the constitu tion cannot be complied with. Upon the subject of oducation hie congratulates the people, as thle constitution has made liberal pro. vision for tho schools and calls up. on the legislature to address itself to the work of carrying out the 1Provisions of the constitution. Ho .auggests that tihe legislature pre Bser e the qualifica'ions of school Omnisidtierin regard to chairac-, tor, fituis# mablt the du ties ofs the ofilee, iae..o se tknat is not done, that the ogico should beh~olished, the duties of it to devolve upon the county boai-d 6f etaminers and the local trustees. JIe recommends that the legisla ture provide for the public schools to run'not less athan six months. of the legislature to impose agrad. uated tax upon incomes and a li conse on occupations and business and strongly urgos the justice of the income tax. The levy for county purposes ro coives his attention in the follow ing words: Your presont-lovy will bo upon assessme1nt of 1894-5 for Stato purposes but this is'not truo as to county and schools. Tho funds arismg from taxos 1894-5 . for county and school purposes were L-xpended for contracts made against them beforo they were eve'n collected. This condition is un fortunate for the creditors of the counties who are school teachors and contractors who aro compell ed to discount. their claims at ox horbitant rates. To meet the dilli culties arising from such a condi tion I would suggest that all con tracts due or to become due after expending the revenues of the year 1i8-5 from any lawful causs prior to Januury 1st, 189O6. for county or sehool purp(sos lo be declari past indeloitedimss id thtecunty ant.horitios le allowed 1.0 issue bcnds v, llCpilitte Ihi same, The honas could 11 - mdV pa .l. svVin t. vit:, %%A\\ i tpro Iv , i() I f t I re . 1et f i t a I * ie s vlp-f the i :u (II 111 1 1 o eb Irs rvvd l (A cr i hI 1 s~No. v~cs 11, - (s 3r, e ivr I. 1 11t sugv gestions about the State institu tions of learning aid tho militia of the State. The messago is an able paper and reflects credit on its author. While Governor Evans is plain and explicit in his oxpressiol hewing to tho line all the time, thoro is littlo ill the document, which even the nomios of reform can use to advantago. At tho last mee0 ting of th rail road commission, Mr. Wilborn in troducedi a resolu1tion to reduco the passonger rato in this Stato from throo and a halt cents to three. That is to bo the standard rato according to his plan, but the pooror roads aro to bo allowed a por cont. increase in proportion to their earnings. TI'ho measuro was not acted upon, but will be at the next regular moating of the board. The0 genoral pension bill for thc year eniding June 30, 1897, as re. ported to Congros3 carries an ap. prop~rialtion of $141 ,325,820, beingj $58,750 below the estimate ai $55,750 less thanm tile approprmi tion for the current fiscal year.
