held by the Allies of the Gallipoli Pen

the colonies.
Another pang to the British public
will be caused by the announcement
of the loss of the battleship King Ed
ward VII. which has been blown up
by a mine. The brief official state
ment on this subject does not reveal
the scene of the action and merely
says that the disaster occurred in a

crew was saved before ship went down.

ed than the Natal, which was sunk
by an internal explosion about two
weeks ago.

Columbia, S. 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 a one-year course for training
teachers be established in a limited
nmber of high schools,

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.

tute be given.

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.
