C., Jan. 11.-Reiterat Ing his pledge to the administration and enforcement of law and urging an economical progress for the state, Gov. Richard Manning today read his annual message to the general assem bly of South Carolina. The galleries were crowded with visitors when the assembly was convened at noon. In his message Gov. Manning reviewed a year of progress in South Carolina and made certain recommendations to strengthen the progressive laws which were enacted at the last session of the legislature. The Governor made it plain that all departments of the state government must be 'supported but that he will oppose new and ex pensive undertakings at this session. In his message Gov. Manning dealt with the larger problems confronting the state and promised to discuss sev eral of these in special messages which will be sent in as the legisla ture progresses with its work. Realizing the heavy demands that have been made upon the government for funds the governor cautioned the members against increased appropria tions. He urged the members to keep down the state -tax levy, which is de nianded by the people. Last year the general assembly ap propriated $2,000 for special legal ad vice to the governor. Gov. Manning in his message stated that this act on the part of the general assembly was appreciated, but that he had not found use for the fund. "I~ desire, however, to state that not one dollor of this appropriation has been used, and that the entire amount, $2,000. has been turned back into the state treasury." Among the recommendations con tained in the message are: . That adequgte provision be made for the pay of special deputies ap pointed to enforce the iterms of the prohibition act. That libertal' support be given for increasing the work and efficiency of the common schools, That no amendments be made at this 'session to the compulsory school attendance law. That the age limit of children work ing in factories, mines and textile establishments be raised from 12 to 14 years. That continued support be given to the state supervisor of mill schools. That the public schools "should be given' adequate support ,and sufficient appropriation to meet the urgent de mands that confront us and wh'ich are increasing yearly."'

That provision be made for agricul tural courses in common schools. That provision must be made for meeting the ravages of the boll weevil. That a board of three commission ers be provided to have charge of the the state cotton warehouse system, the commissioner to act as an 'ex officio member. That a uniform warehouse receipt act be passed. That a land registration law based on what is commonly kndwn as the Torrens system be enacted. That the legislature give consider ation to plans looking to the improve ment of the state's highway systeni. That a board of concilation be created to investigate strikes and mediate in their settlement. That the labor laws of the state be strengthened. That the legislature pass the Work men's Compensation Act, "providing for the payment of injuries reveived by an employee on such a basis that the payment should be certain and prompt, and at the same time just and fair to both employer and em ployee." That liberal suppoi-t be given to the Confederate veterans of the state. That the appropriation be continu ed for the support of the state board of charities and correction. That the legislature continue Its support to the national guard. That consideration to the needs .of the South Carolina Industrial insti tute be given. That the law be changed so as to give the board of fisheries more power. That attention be given to the needs of the state board of health. That the appropriation of $30,000 be continued for the eradication of the cattle tick. That an appropri*ation be made to secure the benefits from the federal government under the Lever act. The goverpor in his message said that he regarded the work of the State Tax Commission of great im portance, "and shall deal with this question of assessment, taxation and the income tax in a special message." The governor scored the profession al lobbyists in no unzortain terms, de claring that their effort "is a nuis ance and an indirect effort to silence the voice of the people. Points from Governor Manning's cessage are as follows: Our people have exhibited a spirit of thrift, self-reliance and effort, which, has brought its reward in greater prosperity than could have been anticipated a year ago. My aim and effort has been that the law's should be enforced by the regu larly constituted dificers charged with that duty. .I again pledge my best efforts to the administration and enforcement of law. Education is the basis of our prog gress, and the common school is the foundation from which an educated citizenship must arise to manage the affairs of our state and nation. The compulsory attendance law has already proven its wisdom. Efforts to exert undue influence in the shaping of legislation for the peo-j ple of South Carolina, should be met' with condemnation in no uncertain terms. The people demand that their tax levy be held down to a minimum, and I most earnestly urge that you heed this call. I shall oppose new and expensive undertakings. The state must progress, but it must be economical progress. New Enterprises Authorized. Birmingham's Modern bakery of Columbia has been commissioned, with a capital of $1,000.
