'18—Fairview Governor-elect, Olin D. Johnston, ip many recent utterances, advocates £he use of the State’s surplus to re tire the State’s bonded debts. Senator Henry Sims comas out against ex panding our public institutions at this time, because of the war, and very sanely,- remarks that after the ar the same money will get more the public, and will provide work n a slack time. We may recall that enator Edgar Brown and Speaker Blatt, being the Barnwell dele on,: decided months ago to put a idg fund in bonds an to postpone ublic building iii Barnwell county after the war. Recently Gov. ’erics has spoken in the same vein, we may remember that the Gov ernor, while Chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, arranged to pay a larger part of school transportation With State, surplus, requiring in the s£nie Act that the Counties should reduce their levy in proportion to this additional state aid. And now cbihes Mr. Query, chairman of the tax commission, and warns of a drop in revenues. That is all sound, com mon sense from leaders of the* state who are looking at realities. While this sage counsel is being given us we hear the heads of institutions calling for more money. me remind the taxpayers of Carolina that however clearly ■ernor Jefferies, Governor-elect Johnston and the other leaders, may see the right road to travel, they cannot take that road if a consider- ablfei number of influential people ■bleCk iti and compel them to detour by the road of larger spending.’ i i.Frequently ■ a legislator, who is a w»se economist-in his county’o affairs corns, tq,,.Columbia. and opens, the floodgates, pouring out state appro priations Tor state projects. Nearly every state institution has on its board of trustees some member, or members ,of the legislature. That is unconstitutional in the first place and it leads to excessive appropria tions in the second. It may be pos sible that the abounding good will" of legislators for the institutions of which they are also trustee® has cost the state several hundred thous and dollars. As all these institutions arC clamoring for larger appropria tions—war or no war—we find right here a difficulty. The mayor of the city of Columbia very prudently in- - ‘sists that members of city council shall withdraw from other public positions. Regardless of whether an institutional position constitutes a public office, the officials of a state or a city should not serve as PAY- AND SPENDERS at the same So far as trusteeships of: state institutions are concerned, they are clearly positions of public trust and tire public offices. No twisting of the .State constitution can alter that. The language is plain and the mean ing., is clear. There is a distinguish ed citizen of Columbia who, while Senator, resigned from the Board of Visitors of .-the Citadel, his beloved alma mater, because, upon reflection he thought he was holding two of fices. Nothing much was sqid of this, but James H. Hammond, whose life is one of public service, denied himself and his love for the Citadel, for the sake of a principle. Governors Jefferies and Johnston will need our constant support if sound financing is to be the rule. You may be sure, taxpayers of South’ Carolina, that even now and every day from now; and every night, un til the legislature shall have adjourh- ed, friends of the institutions will keep up the pleas for larger appro priations. In the meantime, we who wonder whether we can operate at all; men in all walks of business wonder wihat to do. Th e institutions are not beset by such wonderment. They know what they want. And if we are not alert and aggressive they will get it.

As everybody knows, there is a eustom among us to burn off the broom- sedge in the autumn so that the green of the spring may be used for pasturage. Even in town this cus tom prevails. Such fires frequently get beyond control of those who start ed them, and thousands of grqpt for est fires begin that way. Cigarette* thrown from cars may cause * many fires, btrt thousands of such, fires Start from places far from either public or private" roads and were de- erately brought about to “burn .off” a patch-of broomsedge.

Go’veriidr-elect Johnston will find the state enioyipg peace and quiet, though the'world’ is |j terribly upset. We are approaching Thanksgiving. The beautiful custom of setting aside a day of thanks is peculiarly Ameri can and, as I recall, goes ,bppk toiXHf pious souls on the snores of Massa chusetts who had passed through the bleak first winter and,, unpromising summer and regarded , the meager harvest as a special, dispensation of the providing care pf Jehovah. Amid our plenty or scarcity of the .crops our people have turned reverently jo the Almighty to acknowledge with grateful hearts the benefits received from His hand. As the , Psalpust sang, “Bless the Lord, Oh my Sqpl, and forget not all his benefits.,’’ And what are they ? Are we to , give thanks only for food and .raiment? In the beautiful 103rd Psalm David recounts in order the beneficent handiwork of God and does not [. re gard food and drink,,, shelter, .and raiment as the crowning goodness of the Lord.. First among the blessing* is the forgiveness of our wrohg-d'qlng —Who, says, the Psalmist of ^Jeho vah. “forgivith all pur Iniquities”- tbat comes first—the most imports blessing being to get oneself oa ino the way of* truth- And then in this order David returns thanks: v/ 2. “Who healeth all thy diseases” 3 “Who redeemeth thy life from destruction.” I suppose this means that the soul, the.spirit, the spark of life, lives forever; J Governor Jefferies and Governor- Johnston saf together recently luncheon meeting. Both spoke inWrmally and both sounded the note of a better and more soundly prosperous state. Governor Jefferies nas won WEs way into the good graces of all the state by his intelligent In dependence and outspoken champion ship erf the state’s sovereign rights. Not only have the people learned Mr. Jefferies, but Mr. Jefferies has learn ed the people. It has been a happy expierience for both. Until recently Mr. Jefferies has been a man living much with his own : thoughts, inclined to be a bit reserved, even shy. Aj governor he has mellowed-and resi onded fully to the warmth of populal good wil! and he is becoming the genial gentleman, without losing any of his natural dignity. »* Governor-elect Johnston has chang ed ispjnewhgt, too. He is just as ar- "derft J frghtet -as ever, but he has learned that the men opposed to him ►today may be his friend and ally in another matter tomorrow; and that differences of opinion do not imply lack * of good-will. The Governor- elect is coming into office without resentments against anybody and with kindly feeling for everybody. Governor Jefferies has been an ex- J.
