He ?B tho originator and champion of his hill once made a law over the govern or's veto, and the governor's objection was later sustained by the courte." The error In the statement is in the words "once made a law over the governor's veto." I suppose you were misled by reason of the fact thai when the governor approved the wurchouse bill he sent a special message to the general assembly, copy.of which I in close you. ?

State Should | Not Engage In lt. i 11 Southern Christian Advocate. TbV Advocate baa taken i occasion more than once to express its opopsi tlon.to any plan for warehousing the cotton crop which Involved the Idea of state-owned warehouses. We recur to the\ subject now, not ft . the pur pose of restating or enlarging upon the reasons for this opopsltlon, but rather to congratulate the people of the state, and indeed ot the entire south, noon the fact that there ls onod ion to -believe that we shall secare equate warehouse . fae Pit! ea at an rly date, which will be privately .ned and privately operated. Che enterpriae ls proposed by Mr. 'B. Duke and has the approval and backing of the largest bank in the country.

One of the great-1 est obstacles yet encountered ta th*j lien law, which give? the' holder of j tho Han the right to follow hts Uen| cotton .Into any one's hands. With such a law. lt is necessary for ouc who buys cotton, or tends money upon lt, to be very caret-;! with whom he deals.

That.k* why w? want adequate iwnrehopa? facilities, and be ia a pee?* liar awn who weald .begrudge a profit an who lu helping himself Has a Platform Whicl For the State if Pul Spurtajigburg,, April Pref. Jno. G. Cltnks'cales, head ot thc department o? Greek at Wofford College and for years professor of mathumaticH at Clemson, has announced the platform on which he proposes to run for gov ernor. Prof. CHnkscalcs han held but one public office, .that of superintendent of education of Anderson county, and he expects to get a big vote in his old home county. Prof. CHnkscalcs platform is as fol lows: When soy man presumes to offer , himself for any office in th egift of the! people li? ls expected to huve reasons' therefor and it is his duty frankly and sanely 1*0 ?tate them. The people he would serve have a right to know even before hand what he thinks about vi tal matters of common good. It has, therefore, become u custom for candi dates for public office to announce a "platform" in1 which they are sup posed to lay down thc principles and policies they expect to advocate. With such Un announcement I now come before tho people of my native State, whose history and traditions are dear to me, and whose future pro gress along right lines is of deep pa triotic concern to us all. I do not like to describe what 1 have to say nu "my" platform, preferring "our" fianuiui ... Mp ...VMB.O -_- __ re presses the sentiments, the views, the hopes, the aspirations of thousands of right thinking people in this great Commonwealth regardless of whether they shall vote for me or not. 1. I believe the time has come for us to have in our political life less ut ??uae O? yersun? ami wore of tt sane discussion of policies and princi ples. Wo cannot think clearly for the common good.if we have in mind the defeating offnen rather than the promoting of measures. Certainly for me no o?lce.is bjg.ejiough to cause me to want it,,at any ?oat of personal bit terness ami, baie.

And even should I fail of election. I shall count the service rendered worth any cost lt in my campaign I shall sow thc seeds that.shall fruit in a -greater harmony of felelng and purpose than we have rocently known In South Carolina. ' 3. In this spirit, the spirit of har mony and'unity, tho time has come has come for a study of conditions In South Carolina hs 'they really are with a view or applying the admini strative, and legislative powers of the State tb' the ' great end of promoting the material welfare ond progress ot all tho people. W.o ore engaged in varied tasks and labors, the tasks by which we get a living and hope to get u little more than ? living. Our prob lema are thus largely economic and industrial in character. Tney grow out of what we do in shop and store and office and on the farm, and con cern the happiness and progress of our entire citizenship. The .World about us. other States, are on the big Job of developing . their naturst *t sourees in thc fullest and most pro fitable manner. Are we on this Job ai. oOiivti i ?rvFiiiia,; ti amina ip me that our day has at last come when realising our common needs and gath ering all knowledge we can of what other? have successfully accomplished we should set our political machinory to work, in the most sc len tl tl c. manner to advance every Industrial Interest. In saying this, I have in mind no spe cial Interest or pet,sch erne, not rather I am possessed with the conviction that we have reached a point in . our hiatiirl" ?hon tuch.-nM haaln <.* M.. spirit'ot perfect fairness to"apply the most modern methods to condition* xs they are-for example to the greaj ??e***o? of ?'?ult?hl? *axation, to the efficloent economical administration ot the functions ' pf- the government .uni to the betterment, ot both rural and urban life aa far aa this ls a mat ter of legisaittnu. .To those ends I solemnly pledge what influence I have. i But while the time has come fer the t.?Klnnlna? of a thoroughly scientific effort'to bring our l?gisla tive and administrative machinery np to their full t?au?ar? vi r?Tic?ency, abd to develop our material resources tor the good of alt tao people, we must remember that in the nature of things it ts only a beginning we ara making and a preparation for future realisa tion. The achievement of the great end? wc have in view depends abso 1 moly on what w? do with and for the human material lo the ?tate. Thia leads we to the subject that baa been with me a life-long passion-Univer sal Education. Democracy means of course, the right to.vot* and equality before ' fte law. Bub rlhwre fe a .cen li Would Mean Much : into Daily Parctice to conquer his surroundings intelli gently and therefore fruitfully, arid to serve co-operatively the collective interests of his community, and state. From my standpoint, the child as u future member of society can only attain these great ends by being ex posed to the creative and deveolpingl process called education. The right' to this opportunity is, in my view, j tile most fundamental right in a de mocracy. For we get nowhere wisely ? in anything except through u trained and enlightened citizenship. The cost liest liability of this Commonwealth is ignorance. All our progr?BS waits upon what we do to banish it forever from us. The reform of our laws, the iiuprovoaifcni fn inc eniciency of our legislative and administrative j niaelitne-y, the! proper regulation of our industrial interests, the develop-! ment of our material resources , the' all-round welfare of the people-all1 linger and holt till we have trained our citizenship to know what ought! lo be done and how to do it. And thiel ls the task of the school, the college,)] the university. I therefore, have fixed ? ? n my mind the vision of a vast army) of children in a school system admin- j istered liberally and eflicTently, an! ever increasing body of young men and young women in our colleges, and ! school and college consciously moved bv thc ideal of service in the up building of the state. The common SCUOuis, tin- iiigii owoOO'.?, thc slty. Clemson, the Citadel, Winthrop, shall receive my cordial support, and I shall ask every denomlhationaKand, private institution to join in the friendly co-operative in helping a' great Commonwealth realize its best life, social, moral, political and in dustrial, by properlly training all the youth of the State. This is our big-? gest Job. and all else is but a baffling dram til we have done this. 5. In the last place, I believe it is1 time for us to come to the realization of the usc and meaning of the law. Nothing we have ls safe-life, liberty, property-unless it be protected i by the law. A lawless people with jus tice perverted or. laxly administered are a people who are .relapsing into barbaric conditions. But however easy and frequent seems the violation of lt in this state- we simply, must not, ra-! main a lawless people. . What we Peen' ls to be called back to our best selves and to be reminded thal to persist in* our dangerous habit ot lawlessness is to forget what is fine in our history and traditions and to be faithful to a noble future whose guardian we are. If I nm A1A*?O?1 t*\ *!>_ pcs!?C? Cf chief executive of this state, I pledge myself to try the tohlO''effect of en fnrptp? thr ??*V within: rcjiri to section or '-lass. I believe the re i suits of sucli a course wil be a stiff- ] j enlng of our moral fibre end a-clean ing of the moral attitude t osuch a degree as to matt? South Carolina a better place to live in and South Carolinians proud of their citizenship. Wc dare not go on BB we are and if I should imagine for a moment that as governor I should hare to make a truce with lawlessness of any sort, I should contiue teaching boys in the hope that they one day would be able, to accomplish, the reforms impossible, to this generation.
