HAS NO SUBSTITUTE POWDER Absolutely Pure Tho only baking powder mado from Royal Grape Oroam of Tartar NO ALUM.K0 LIME PHOSPHATE THE INAUGURAL ADDRESS OF GOVERNOR BLEASE (Continued from page six.) whatsoever, as in my opinion many of the accidental and other shootings and killings ol todaj are caused by the desire for nuns or pistols created ui tho minds of the youth while play with toys of (bis character. Pome notion should be taken to rid our Circuit Courts of the expense of trying minor eases. Wo often Bee cas es In court where many witnesses are called from their places of business, sit around the courl house possibly for half of the entile week at heavy expense to the county, und when the case is brought on for trial there Is < ith<?;? nothing in it or possibly a fine of one hundred dollars or less Is Im posed In case of conviction, i think it would be better to put more of thld kind of eases in the hands of the mag istrates, mi tl.iit they could be sum marily dealt with at absolutely no expense to tho county, and where they could be given as much punishment as is many times given hy our circuit judges. Either this should be done, or else you sin aid establish a court for the trial Of all cases Jess than felony, for you see from the extra terms of Court held, from the special judges being appointed, and other ex penses, that the question is becoming a serious one, and the people arc tired and beginning to complain f the sys tem as it now is. Much has been said about the enact ment of laws in regard to the labor in our cotton mills These people arc our people; the} are our kindred; they are our friends, and in my opin ion they should be let alone, and al lowed t,< manage their own children and allowed to manage their own af fairs, i am fully convinced thai (bill ing in cotton futures by mi'l < ?'icers has lost thousands of dollars to our State, in?! today have some embarras sed, which money, !f it had lv a paid to the laborers tor services, would have saved many a close-down for i week or two, where (ho help has bc< 11 put on I of a job, and which have caus ed soliK ll':)0s3 Buffering and pain. i cannot .-?:>? thai resignations 01 deaths of officials have been caused by BUCh dealings, hut sufferings have been brought lo tho peo;do who work hi the mills, and. If any .legislation Is to take place, as between the mill owner and the mill operative, ii seems to me that this Is the line along which to work. There has come to nie much Com plaint In rognrd to tho management of and dealings with (he patients and property Of tho State Hospital for the Insane and admission of persons who should be tried in the criminal courts, but who are accepted hy the super intendent before a jury has acted upon the case, l would rospcctfully recom mend that you amend Sectloil 2,2-17, Vol. 1. of the Code, by striking on, flvb and. inserting seven, bo as to give each Congressional district a repre sentative upon that board; or possibly it would bo better, If you would so amend !? as to glVO each judicial cir cuit u representative upon tho hoard. In this way all parts of the State would have a representative. I respectfully recommend that you amend the law Which places white Convicts 111 the same camp and works them along in the same squads with negro convicts. I do not believe in this, and believe that a governor would ho justified in granting a pardon to a white man who is thus treated, and I beg of you to remedy this evil at your earliest opportunity. I would respectfully recommend that you amend your present dispen sary or prohibition Act so as to pro vide that in case a majority of the white citizens of nnj county shall do sire a license system, that it may be '?ranted. Section II. Article s, of the Constitution of 1895, provides hi part: The general assembly may llcenso norsons or corporations to manufac ture and sell and retail alcoholic li quors or beverages within the State, under such rules and restrictions as it deems proper." Wo now have the law so that they may have a county dispensary or prohibition. Now, in order to be truly Democratic and fair to all parties. In my opinion, this amendment - should be made. Upon this platform I made my race for the governorship, and upon this platform I was elected, the majority of the white people expressing themselves as in favor of allowing those counties where prohibition cannot be enforced, and where the dispensary has proved and is proving to be a supply station of blind tigers and cheap whiskey? that they should be allowed to have [relief by this system. 1 would not j favor, under any conditions, forcing it upon any community, but If a ma jority of their white people want it it is their right as provided in our Constitution, and they should have it. And when 1 say white people I mean white voters, und you should provide that sill questions of this char acter shall be settled In a primary, where every white citizen is allowed to vote, and not submit it In a gen eral election, where the negro might be and is the balance of power. Hut under no conditions or circumstances would I sign a bill allowing the rein statement Of the old bar room system. And If license is allowed l recommend that you prohibit any whiskey being sold in less quantities than one-half pint, or between sunset and sunup, and that you prohibit it from being 'drunk on the premises or sold under any circumstances to minors or In ebriates or behind closed (hairs or screens; prohibit any obscene pictures on the premises, or any billiard or card r pool room connected therewith nnd providing that any person holding a license who shall violate any pro vision of the law shall forfeit his li cense and b<> forever thereafter bai led from being licensed, and in addition, be Imprisoned at hard labor in the !Stat" penitentiary without the alter native of a line. I respectfully recommend thai yon amend the present law so aa to make executions for the crime of rape, or assault with intent to ravish, public, as I believe this will bring about more sa*.isractory results ?al'owing others, ai d particularly those jf the vounger generation of that rar ? from which most of these culprits come, to have a full \ iew "of the punishment meted out. Possibly by this means some lynchlngs could be prevented, though so long as this crime Is committed 1 have little hope of lynchlngs being itcooed. Some newspapers and some people, in every controversy between the White man and the negro, seem to take delight In taking Hie side of the negro and denouncing the lynching, but this is a White man's country and will continue to be ruled by the white man. regardless of the opinions or editorials of quarter or half breeds or foreigners. The pure blooded Cauca sian will always defend the virtue of our weinen no matter what the cost II rape Is committed death must fol low. I sdnoerely trust that in your delib erations VOU will he liberal, but nol extravagant and Ihftl yu will reduce expenses and nol make any Oxtravn. gani appropriations for any purp'.- < : top the useless expenditure of inone> by officials stop the creation of and abolish useless olllces extrnvagan and useless expenditure of money and that von will not create an increase In the tax levy, bill Ihnl yon will re duce both the State and county levies as all our taxes are too high and our people are now burdened with taxa tion They are groining under their load and begging relief, and to you and yon alne must they ion for It. fo vou and you alone can gi'o it. and If you do not gbe it the responsibility will rest upon you. And be assured that in the next campaign HlP lines wil h. closely drawn alone thn Uno of < v11 avaganco a n! l!io oyuchdti'.ro of money as the people arc today arous ed upon this matter as they have nol been in . ears l.oforo. As for my paH, I believe that the grandest, n\o?l per foci and Independent form ol uovo?*n iiiea' is a poor govomnoni and a rich people, vVbon vou ma he a ,-: :h gov ernment and thereby Impoverish the people, or make a poor people, you re verse Democracy and create dissatis faction and discontent among the peo?

I beg vou to change the course, and by so doing you will make for yourselves a reputation thai tho people will rise on masse and Rfty to you. "Well done, good and faithful sorvnpts." I have be, n advocating those prin ciples for years In lh? house, in the senate, and on tho slump in my home c?ttnty and throughout tho State, and have stood squarely upon them oui In tho open and never waited to see which would bo tho popular side be fore taking a stand. Eveu when some of them were very unpopular und It seemed that any man who dared ad vocate them was doomed to political oblivion I stood by them and made the fight to keep up and begged the peo ple not to be deceived, but to hear me for my cause, and now we see somo men and newspapers who did not stand for them, or who, If they did. were afraid to acknowledge It, en deavoring to claim the credit of lead ing the light. We are glad to have their help, even though It comes at so lute a day and is possibly hypocriti cal. And now. hi conclusion, I may Cod's direction for each and every one of you. and (hat you may do your full duty, conscientiously, ami to the best interests of the entire people of your State. And as for myself, 1 pray Cod that he may so guide and direct ine in the discharge of my duties that I may be fair and Impartial to all of the '. it '/ens of my State, hot!: black and white, and that He may so direct me that during my term of office Ilia will, and not mine, shall he done.
