Manning's Message, The message of Governor Man' ^ i ? l 1? 1 ' ning to tne uenerai Assemoiy nasties with thoughtful truths. All through this document the attention of the law-makers of the State is called by him to actual conditions in the State. It is n forceful paper, and every citizen would benefit by reading it. The keynote of the message, says the Columbia State, , is the improvement of the condition of the people of the State. Our contemporary is correct; the mes/ sage is a careful analysis of South i Carolina conditions; every legislator and voter should * read it and ponder it deeply. We regret tl at we are not able to give the Governor's message in full in this paper. Governor Manning makes public in his message a fact his friends have known all the time, that he has never used a cent of the $2,000 legal advice fund. But what an awful disappointment to those not favorably disposed toward his admistration. v Why smile at the woman who "wears the pants"? Quite often she earns them before she wears them. Why not place the advertising columns of newspaper and magazines in South Carolina under the ban of a censorship? Such a law . miorht n f?nv lifiv nolitienl ' jol>s.
