(The State of July 6.) The administration of Governor John *0. Richards, first of the four-year term governors of South Carolina, is rapidly drawing to a close. Next January he will yield the post to one of the eight can didates now seeking election and retire to his home at Liberty Hill to enjoy the freedom and comforts of country life. In taking a retrospective view of his administration, which in many respects has been a' noteworthy one. Governor Richards considers the passage of the $65,000,000 road bond act the outstanding piece of legislation brought into being dur ing his term. He said he considered several measures sus nearly equal import ance for second place. There was the measure authorizing the for mation of the food research labor atory and that providing for the natural resources commission, two organizations which work interde- pendently and for the same gener al purpose. It was through the research commission that it was definitely established that South Carolina products are rich in their content of iodine and other min erals. Through the resources com mission, advantage of tfiese discov eries is being taken and the mes sage of South Carolina’s health products is being broadcast to the world. Both of these organiza tions the governor regards as of immense importance, not only for the immediate present but for the future as well. To Pool Funds Another important measure in the eyes of the governor is the act allowing the “pooling” of the state’s funds. This measure will render unnecessary the borrowing of money by the state each year, and thus save interest charges. It will, the governor says, ultimately retire the much discussed deficit and that without additional appro priation. In the future, it will make possible the reduction of ap propriations for state purposes, or else make it possible to accumu late a surplus. A glance through the messages of Governor Richards to the gen eral assembly will show that he has been a staunch advocate of biennial sessions of the legislature and of a measure permitting classification of property. At the last session of the legislature, both of these measures were passed and they will be before the people of the state* at the general election this fall for approval or disapprov al. He regards the passage of these two measures of great value to the welfare of the s$ate. The governor also holds that there has been an actual reduction of the state deficit during his ad ministration. All the institutions of the state have been protected, he says, and even while holding appropriations down, there has been no serious crippling of any of their activities. The passage of the measure making provision, under the ad jutant general’s department, for the state service officer, is also one of great importance, in the opinion of the governor who believes the office has been a great assistance in relieving the suffering of ex- service men and also has resulted in bringing a large amount of money in the state. Realizes Responsibility “I have stressed the responsibil ity of the legislature in keeping the annual appropriation bills within revenue,” the governor said. “The constitution specifically provides that appropriations must be kep<. within revenues and I have en deavored to have the legislature realize its responsibility in that re gard. “The state has moved forward steadily, although the appropria tions have exceeded little if at all those of 1926. The state’s institu tions have progressed as any one may see who will study the figures in the annual reports,” he declar ed. “The $65,000,000 road bond issue I regard as the outstanding piece of legislation of my administration everybody be lieves in good roads; every man r Enrollment Books Close July 22nd * CHARLES URGES VOTERS TO ENROLL NOW AND HAVE THAT OFF HAND FOR FOUR YEARS seeking office, who has expressed himself on the point has said he favors good roads. This bond act makes possible the building of such roads and that without one mill oi additional levy cn the real proper ty of the citizens of the state. The tax on gasoline and the motor ve hicles license fees pay for the building of the roads. “One of the heaviest taxes the state has had to carry through \,hc years is the ‘mud’ tax. Good roads do away with that tax. “Good roads enable the farmei to get his produce to piarket quick ly and at little expense. * ' v “What might be called the social feature of good roads is not to be lightly considered. Good roads make it possible for our people to see all parts of the state—good roads break down barriers ofrpre- judice brought about by ignorance. They tend to knit our people into a unified whole. They advance educational interests in that they make possible consolidation of weak schools and they tend to ad vance the'religious life of the peo ple in that they may contribute to the upbuilding and consolidation of churches.” The governor has not changed his attitude with regard to the benefit which, he holds, would come to the state with the consoli dation of offices. Economy, with out loss of efficiency, could be ef fected, he claims, and, with proper co-ordination, the affairs of the state would move along as before. On Consolidations “I am firmly of the opinion that consolidations could be effected and that there should be a hori zontal reduction of salaries. Any man familiar with the various de partments knows that there are duplications of work—and that these duplicatings increase costs without benefit to the state.” The governor expressed his regret that these reforms in government had not been brought about while he was in the executive chair. “Throughout my administration, I have stressed law enforcement,” he said. “Every energy I possess and every facility at my command has been devoted to a proper en forcement, w’ith fairness and firm ness, of all Haws. “I am not satisfied with what I have accomplished in that regard, yet I am convinced that but for my untiring efforts, we would have had worse conditions than exist today.” Soon after his retirement from office, the governor and his family will return to Liberty Hill where a large farm awaits the governor’s attention. X Officers Get Still, Whiskey And Beer Deputy Sheriff W. L. Brown and State Constables Joe M. H. Ash ley and C. M. Foster report the capture of a 75 gallon still, 10 gal lons of whiskey and l,20p gallons of beer in a raid made' Tuesday momitig some* distance from Hie highway about midway McCormick and Abbeville, in McCbrihiek coun- ty. One man was seWfi ait* the still by the officers, but he made a quick^ get-a-way. The still was in operation when the officers ap peared on the scene. Hot weather was no hindrance to the operator in running up an excellent high speed record on foot. X— Treatment with borax or helle bore will destroy many of the stable fly and house fly larvae that breed in manure. Use the powder ed form of borax at the rate of 1 pound to each 16 cubic feet of manure, scattering it oyer the pile and then sprinkling it with water.’ Hellebore* costs more thap borax. If it is used, soak one-half pound of the material in 10 gallons of wa ter for 24 hours and use this quantity to treat about eight bush els of manure. Neither borax nor hellebore will injure the fertilizing value of manure if applied in these quantities and if not more than 15 tons of the treated manure Ls applied per acre. • — x ~ Range where growing poultry has been kept continuously is . likely to be in poor condition in. late sum mer.

A new enrollment is re quired on the part of all men and women who expect to participate m the primary election. July 22nd is the last day for enrollment, and it is urged that everyone join in the drive to have a full and com plete enrollment. Very serious and Important problem*? a**** ‘'^n- fronting our government and it is the duty of all good citizens to ex ercise the right of suffrage. It should also be borne in mind that in order to vote two years from now that one must enroll now, as the present enrollment holds for four years. The enrollment committees of the respective clubs are urged to secure a full enrollment in their precincts. There .are instances in which it will be advisable to carry the book to those who are unable on account of age or illness to ap pear at the place of enrollment. Under such circumstances, the ex ecutive committee has ruled that where the book is accompanied by one of the committee, this is per missible. W. K. CHARLES, County Chairman. —X Cotton Acreage, July 1 COLUMBIA, S. C., July 8, 1930.— SOUTH CAROLINA: The acre age of cotton in cultivation in cultivation in South Carolina on Jtily 1 isf estimated at 2.205,000' acres, or 97 per cent of last year, by the Ctop Reporting Board of the United States Department of Agriculture in the acreage report released today. This compares with the revised estimate of 2,273,- 000 acres in cultivation on July 1 last year and the 5-year average. 1925-1929, of 2,546,000 acres. The average abandonment of acreage in the State after July 1 has been 2.7 per cent for the 10 years 1920- 1929. . Acreage changes within the State follow pretty closely year’s outturn. In the northvfeffrf or upper Piedmont the acreage is about the same as last year; how ever, this section increased* its acreage in 1929 when the remaind er of the State showed a consider able decrease. The middle western and southern sections as a whole show a slight increase this year, but there has been a decrease in the tejfitory embraced roughly in a 50 mile wide stretch beginning abput Columbia and extending northeastward through Kershaw and Chesterfield Counties. Correspondents estimate that 90 per cent of the cotton acreage re ceived commercial fertilizer this year with an average application of 330 pounds per acre and an average cost of $26.00. per ton. which compares with 92 per cent, 328 pounds, and $26.80, respectively, for last year. UNITED STATES: Acreage in the Belt has been reduced 2.7 per Cent, the estimate being 45,815,000 acres in cultivation on July 1 this year, compared with 47,067,000 last year, 46,946,000 in 1928, 41,995,000 acres in 1927, and the record acre age of 48,730,000 acres in 1926. The average abandonment of acreage has been 3.5 per cent during the 10-year period 1920-1929. Of the more important cotton states, Ten- nessee shows an increase of 7 per cent, and Mississippi and Arkansas each 2 per cent. Important states showing Jess acreage are: • North Carolina, with 10 per cent below last year: South Carolina, 3 per cent: Alabama. 2 oer cent; .Louis iana, 3 per cent; Texas, 4 per cent; and Oklahoma, 3 per cent.
