Message No. 12. Gentlemen of the General Assembly: I tried to make three m essa RCS cover everything I had to say to you during this session. Other matters have come before me, however, which 1 have had to transmit to you, which probably could not be considered messages, but only letters of trans mittal. Matters have taken place which were not expected, and I have had to burden you with more mes sages than I had intended. Kow comes ihiB one, at the request and as the result of a conference with a committee appointed by the Confed erate veterans of this State. I want to put myself on record, so there can be no mistake. First, and above oil, let mc say I think that the State of South Carolina should see that no Confederate Veteran sutlers for the necessities of life. They most assuredly should not be treated as paupers. If you want to treat them as paupers, let them go to the homes for the poor, and let them be treated t s paupers, which would be u disgrace upon every citizen of South Carolina. But I want .to call your attention to the fact that there are on your pension rolls the names of men who are getting money who are not entitled to it, and there are names which are not on these rol*3 which Ah nuil be thera^ Now. understand mc distinctly; I km in favor of giv ing every man who fought in the Confederate Army* a sufficient amount of money to buy the neces sities of life-that is; plenty of, good food, plenty of good clothes to keep his hoity werm and comfortable, and to buy medicines, etc., when neces sary. The State, of South Carolina should do this, if it takes an extra iwx to do it, rather than to see one .*__i i _r - -AT-jr_... Wa. uren: VU| u.U.? ?uuu IV. WIO .lUCCs sltics of life. I think this makes my record clear, co taut it cannot be misconstrued. I am fully satisfied that the estab lishment of a Ho/no for the old sol diers- was a matter of sentiment more than of good business judg ment, and that the General Assem bly nt that time probably took this r. ct ion moro as a compliment to one of ita members and as a matter of sentiment, than for the real .good they thought it would do the Con fsderate V?t?rans. I think ths Con federate Homo has been managed as well os it could have been managed, nnd, in viow of the dirty fight that has Leen mude against it? manage ment by come people merely for po 1 li tied prejudice and trp-ta, I think tbs* the institution has boon nbiyj managed, and the inmates well cared for and particularly well protected. There is in charge of it Maj. H. W. Richardson, who has hold positions of honor end tru3t in his State, who was himself a gallant. Confederate ?o?dierj and who, as everybody who known him woll knows, is honest in his privato dealingo, as ha ia in his public dealings. On the board with him is Col. D. Augustus Dick? rt, an honest man and one of the most gal lant and daring Confc4$rale ?oldiers that the South prooSje?a.'" Thon there is Hon. Janies T,..Crows a wor thy son of "the noblest ' Hornau of them all," Thomas Bissell Crewtu ono of God's noblemen; Hon. I. McD. . Hood, for many yenrs auditor of Chester county; the lion. H. C. Paul ling, who lias represented his county of Calhoun for several termoin thc ?jenerrJ Assembly; end ?ts chairman,, tho Hon. James G. Long,'who nerved the county of Union for litany ternis 3?& har Fh;ri!T. Therefore, it will rend?t; u?> ??&?1 that this iiiKtitvit-.-nri is Jn the har.dd of good, clean, honest mon, end they have done and arc do inc* everything .within their ?power to give to the old soldiers there all thc conveniences 'and necessities that iii? appropriation nts de will provide for. However, I think there aro men in that Uoma who should not be there. 1 do not think any. man should b<i rllowed ther? who draws a penakm j from his homo county. /?r? at least, j When he is admitted there tho pension i f rc-T" .ile homo county- should cesse ! t?.d go to .-ono one who is not in the ' ?.c iie I do not think anyone should bc edmitttd to the hotn?> '-to ohos! property enough ct homo' to give him ruppoTfc. I c*o not think any one ....-..ld fc> ndrnittsd to the:homo who! c 'txi OM ft trade or business which ; .?. ; ' gi vi :r'*r. ruflicicnt means to oup p. rt i.5n.?:lf without th? i.id of the1 ioma. tn other words, gentlemen, ! J thin}: ordv thico ohonld be admit- j to Ibo hor^o who hive no homo; ek'ftw'h-oio end hove no other support,: mi V'.-.Q oro entirely ciapendant for al ilvir...*. Thoi'C myrl t-hosld .bs put in i''o &>3io ard tho homo should bo f.ivcn fcVmoy cnom+?x to .take good rr.-i-cls.rr. cs'rc of them, and the rules ot the hoiv.o should be strengthened by Act of tho Legislature so that those who are there can bo kopt, not in prison, not under dur?se, but un SPECIAL A? Winter Goods at ,ittd below Cost, EZLTON FAJIOAIN 5Tf>or on Soldiers Home quate Pensions Negro Schools der sufficient restraint to give order and discipline there. I do not think it is much credit t othe home or the inmates for some of them to come on the fctrcets of Columbia drunk and having to be carried-or are carried to police headquarters, and the man agement of the home notified that they are there and are asked please to send for them. Yet when anything of this kind happens, or any serious breach of discipline takes place at the home and the management at tempts to correct it, they are dragged into tho court by some one for polit ical spite, or in order to try to injure some one politically, and made go through ^proceedings whfch cost lawyers' fees and other expenses which come out of the appropriation made for the home, thqs depriving the old soldiers, the inmates, of that much bf their money. Now, another thing; I think there are too many people between thc old soldier and his appropriation; that is, I do not think any County Board ought to receive any pay, or that any State Board ought to receive any pay, or that any county or State official ought to receive any pay for the ser vices that they render in distributing the fund for these Veterans. It ought to be a labor of love, and ev ery man engaged in it ought to see that every dollar that is appropria ted by your body should go direct to the old soldier, and have no mid dle or stopping point until it reach en the??. At th? home ? think the Commandant and his wife should be sufficient to manage it and take care of it, unless possibly it is necessary for them to have ono or two assis t an thelpers. I do not think too ma ny should be employed at the Sol diers' Pome who are to receive sala ries, thereby eating up the nppropri ation before it rcachee the Veterans for whom it ls intended. Now. I am not Raviner these things, gentlemen, by way of criticism of anybody, and this message is not in tended to criticise anybody, but only to call your attention to these mat ters, as I have, been .requested, to do by tho committee, end as I called these matters to their attention. Take, for instance, the number of inmates in this. home, and then take the amount appropriated by your body, end divide this amount by the number of inmutes, and see what the Ero rata anare por man would be if e were at his own home; then take your pension law and see what the pro rata chare in which the veteran at home is now getting,- and, in my opinion, you will see an inequality ths man at home who is strugglir.sr and trying to make a living by wor' in entitled to as much ns the msr. who absolutely gives up and is w'l ling to go to the Home, sit down ;n idlene3*j and do. absolutely nothir.; and let the State support him. I think I he ve msde myself clsrr I do net propose lo go on and pay 'jreut eulogy to tho Confederate Vet eran. That is unnecessary. He built his own monument by his deeds :<r.d it te a monument more glorious thc.n all the brass and granite which ?an be erected from, now until Ga briel blows his horn End whon they sholl tar.o vp the sound and call the soldiers to mest onco agr.in. One moro thing, gentlemen, and I am through. Aa you know, I spoek plainly. I do r.ot"-think any woman ouffbt to have a pension on tho ground that sho ls a widow of a Con iedarnte Veteran, .who has married that Confederate Veteran for the purpose cf sharing in his little pen non and of having her name placed on the pension rolls after he is gopc. Th? good womnn who was his wife during the war, aha suffered the i-i-L! -_I _j ,_i_J:_ o .-iiij.o ...... . v. ?ata, .:.ti-.l ,,?,., M??r-. played the greatest hcroinm that tho world has ever known, deserves everything at your hands that Hat hoebart deserves.' But the younjr kroman veh'6 married the old man after he har! come back from the war, or tho young woman who baa since married some old soldier to cet his property, and has helped mm waste it, or who has married him, aa I have just stated, merely to help shai-e his pension and get. her name put on tho pension- roll when he is dead, is not entitled tc a cent, and ahould not have it, bul th? amount which she is drawing ahould bo token from her and given to the Confoder r.tc soldier or his widow who needs it. . Of course I do not know what of fset this mcusags will have. Soma of you may laugh ttl it. Others of you may pay absolutely no attention ta it. But rt esta forth my position ut j carries out a icquest made of me ?>>. th Wo fpr.tlemen who came here a a comtrtittea sent by the Cohfed .rfcta Veteran's Association, undor a ror.oiulion cdoptod nt their Aiken rdotftinir. 1 ropoat: Make a sufficient appropriation to givo ovary t Coaxed erato Veteran a pension sufficient to take care of him, to make bim com fortable, and to make bia last davs earth pleaaant; but strike mt. cf nt sela ry lists those you can do without, and let the money go direct from thc State Treasurer into the nanda of th? de servings Confedera to Veteran, If it bg . necessary to put an extra tax to do this, ! do not believe there ia man in South Carolina who wttl co plain. But if you put on this o tux, and continuo to give it to worthy people, and deprive those who are entitled to it of it, you will continue to have dissatisfaction and complaint. Whatever effect this message may to be my duty to tht Confederate Veterans, and to obey the request of their committee. If there is any thing else that I can do for the Con federate Veteran, as the son of a Confederate Veteran myself I aband ready in my individaul or official ca pacity to answer any call that he make upon' me. Very respectfully, (Signed) COLE L. BLE ASE, Governor. Columbia. K. C., Jan. 2, 1914. State of South Carolina, Executive Chamber. Message No. 13. Gentlemen of the General Assembly: I have, in my annual messages, called attention to the fact of white people teaching negro schools. I have in my possession some little matters which 1 think .should be cel led to your attention along this line, and I herewith send you copies of same : "Port Royal Agricultural School (Incorporated November 7, 1902), For the Training of Negro Youth. J. S. Shanklin, Principal, Beaufort, S. C. (-' Beaufort, S. C.,_.19-_ "Board of Trustees.-W. H. Mc Leod, President, Seabrook,. S. C., Thomas Lee, Vice-President, Frog more,.. S. C., N.

Shanklin, the principal, is a negro. I nm also informed that some of thc trustees of this school are white peo ple. I am further informed that the references which some of these white trustees give, as printed on this let ter head, are negroes, notably Booker T. Washington. I can hardly be lieve this, however, that white people would, in South Carolina, give a ne gro as a refer once, and I think thnt it js a matter which you should in veterate, so that, if it is true, it can be- known that it is not a Stat? insti tution; and, if it is not uue, that thcic white people who are being imposed upon th? way, can protect themselves from further | ^repre sentations. You will elco find copy of a little card which has been moiled me. which I understand was sent around among tho students of this institu tion to be sent out to others: "Do not be ashamed of your raco, rather be proud to be as tho Lord made you. Be thankful for your great gift of Bong, for the fortunate rnce characteristics of cheerfulness, patience, optimism and faith, which with proper education should make the bc3t race of farmers in thu world." I do r.ot know whether there art -ry white teachers in this school or .c, but think' it well for you to find r : l o ha,vc another letter head, the 1 .>':ov/ing of which is a copy: Hele na Island, South Carolina I ' t^nn Normal Industrial and Agri -?t'-ji ! t?c-iocl.

If it ?3 a r.j gro school, I do not think my rr.snl should' ba allowed to hold this mai-1 tion who is the trustee of such an ' institution. In fsct, I am ot thc opinion that your Committees on Ed uce tion. should investigate this Po; !: Roy21 school arid find out if whites ard negroes ere ptixed up ur it; t?d that you should also InvwtiMtc tit ?

I have tried to ascertain this in formation and havo received some, nut it is ~?t as definite as I would like to have before I make sny spe cial allegations. I make it a, rule in life, and have always done so-in private life and in public life-never co maka any charge unless. \ had tho proof right with me to substeh . tinto it. I do not believe in making , a charge, ard when somaoody deni; ft, say I will hoyt the proof tower row; but, when you make the chars have the proof right then and ther and never make any charge unlei iou have got the proof. Therefor make no charge < against the? with them, But I want to know there aro white people running the: institutions who are Riving negro? as references, and if those whil people have white people teachin in these schools, and if they ai teaching negro children, and if thc are teaching them social equality and, the only way that I know 1 bring it to tie attention of the pe< pie of the State is by your commi tees making a proper investitratioi and if they find the state or fad contrary to the laws of establishe custom of this State, that you in mediately pass some law prohibitin this manner and form of educatio in our State. I have already called your utter lion to the evils of white poop! teaching in negro schools, or negr children. I can now show you photograph of a school in your Stat where white men and white wome are teaching along side by side wit negroes and negresses. How lon the legislature of this State propose to submit to that kind of a thing do not know, If I had my way a governor, I would give it twentj four hours to end, and if it did nc end, it would not take me very lon to get backers enough to end it. S< gentlemen, it is in your hands; th people of your State have their eye on you; are we yet to have negr men marrying white women, an white men marrying . negro womer or, are we now, right now, to put u the red flag and let these peopl ':now that they must stop? I hov heard of white men being captain >f ne^ro companies in the Civi! Wai ind have heard some of our Confec :ratc veterans say that they tough such a company at the battle o Honey HUI. Do any of you, or you .hildren, want to-be participants i rho same kind of line-up in years t ?ome? If not, do your part nov ?nd let's win the victory today. . cry rcipcCuiuny, Governor.
