education woulff be- bpeM td every'boy and girl who could stand the neces sary entrance examination and who could be accommodated by the insti ?tution. . ' - It may necessitate, and I hope it will," the enlargement of our plants - in order to accommodate the increas ing demands. The student who on t?ins-a loan from this fund should ~ be" required to repay the same with -" oiit interest in four annual install ments; the first payment to be due in two years after graduation. This would insure repayment of the entire loan in ten years, or to be more ac " cUrate, each loan granted would be . V^Kud within six years from the date lr*^ granted. In the' 29th annual report p '; of the board of trustees of Clemson fCoHege, pages 13-14, I find the fol lowing language: ''If it is to be admitted that a , technical education adds to a young man's earning power (and surely such an education represents a capital of at least $20,000), then any young man should be willing to accept a loan rather than a gift of $400 to IBhelp him obtain it. The history of ; such loans elsewhere is that they are ^ eagerly sought by the really needy and-invariably paid." The board of visitors of Clemson College for the year 1918 called at tention to the fact that since the in jRpguration of ihe scholarship system Clemson College has expended for this purpose alone $220,000. Other col leges ^doubtless have expended pro . portionate amounts. If the money thus expended for the past ten years ftad been lent to worthy students we wouid have on hand today a loan fund of" not less than' $400,000, and it would not be necessary to make airy other appropriation for this pur pose. It may be wise for the State, In order to promote the efficiency of the organized militia, to offer a limit ed "number of military scholarships in' consideration of a special service to be rendered where no adequate compen sation is provided. But the scholar ship should be contingent on such ser vice. Another question which I feel'U must call to your attention is that of the public health. I believe the State board of health should be au thorized and directed to make a health survey of the .entire State by the school districts. It is important that sanitary conditions as they exist in the various sections of the State! slfduhT be known, and wherever nec essary proper steps taken to remedy conditions. I have heard it stated that the health laws of South Carol irfa. are equal to the best in the Union. This is gratifying, but it is certainly true that a great deal is yet to be ?Jone before our people are properly protected against the ravages of dis i^se and unnecessary mortality. Your State health offi<S*r will tell you that we have a great many deaths among infants and young mothers, because of a lack of a few simple and neces sary precautions. Information which has come to us, incident to the mob ilization of o,ur troops in the recent world war, has disclosed a physical condition among the adult population, ooth men and women, which can not be. ignored and should not be neglect ed. Our people, if we are adequately to safeguard the future, must be physically and morally clean as well as mentally vigorous. If our civiliza tion is to endure, it must have as its sure foundation, a people mentally, rnorally and physically fit to be the fathers and mothers of future gen erations. It is the policy of this State that the sale and use of intoxicating li quors as a Beverage is against public health , and morals, and its sale has jfeerefore, been prohibited. If, as the '.- legislature has enacted, and the peo ple at the ballot.tbox have declared, the- prohibition of the sale of in toxi gating liquors is to be the policy of j the State, and I am in full accord with this view, we must realize thatj in this matter; "eternal vigilance" is j essential to the proper enforcement of this provision. Recently my atten tion was called to a situation that somewhat surprised me. The police department of one of the cities of this State made a search in back alleys and secret places, where persons nat urally resort to drink, and collected a ?surprisingly large number of bottles "on which were labels showing that said bottles had contained compounds, either extracts or patent medicines, which contained from 6 to 90 per cent, alcohol. I was informed by the chief of the police department that these so-called medicines and extracts Were being freely purchased from merchants, and drunk as a beverage. Kb further stated that his department' was having considerable drunken-1 hess to deal with on account of this practice. I have learned since that this condition is not peculiar to any one locality, but is somewhat general throughout the State. Any reputable physician will unhesitatingly say that medicines and extracts of the class mentioned when used as beverages j are more njurious in every respect | than distilled liquors. It was not to j rid the State of alcoholic liquors that| our prohibition laws were passed, but rather to protect our people from the evil and injury incident to its use &3 a beverage. If substitutes are be ing used that are more injurious, it :s certainly in keeping with the policy of the State to prohibit the sale and use of any such substitute. It may be that the present law is sufficient to cover such cases, but T believe it would be wise to pass an act definite!: dealing with this question. During the past several months I have endeavored to give a good deal of'my time and attention to the ques tion of taxation. Every honest man is willing to pay his pro rata part of the necessary burden of government. The main difficulty with us, as I see it, is a lack of business method in this department. I believe an effective remedy will be found in the adoption of an executive budget somewhal similar to the law now in force in the State of Virginia. Under this taw the governor is required to submit to the general assembly at each session an executive budget containing an itemized statement of the estimated expenditures of the various depart ments and intsitutions of the State for the ensuing fiscal year with nis recommendations thereon. This budget will be referred to the apnro ? priate committees as any other bill. FAny^" item; ? of "course, may "be increas j ed, decreased or stricken out entire ly, but no appropriation, not includ j ed in the budget, is to be considered (until the budget is finally disposed of, I except in emergency cases. TTiis i means that the members of the gen ! eral assembly will have the benefit j of information obtained by the gov : ernor from the various departments jand institutions of the State in pre l paring the budget, which will en iable them to act more intelligently in ! this important matter. The governor j during the several months preceding j the meeting of the general assembly jwill hold public hearings, and re | quire necessary information in re j gard to each item of expenditures j asked for, which information would I naturally be given to the public press j for the benefit of the general public as well as members of the general as sembly. This is but a brief first step in our tax legislation. The de tails can be easily worked out. But the vital question is yet to be con sidered. It is easy to prepare and submit a budget, which in my opin ion, will result in a considerable sav ing of money, but this will not relieve us of the present inequality of the as sessment of property. I confess that this phase of the question is more j difficult than any other in connection with the matter. I believe, howeyer, that in the course of a few years we j will be able to approximately equalize J the assessment if we adopt the fol lowing plan: When you have finally determined ,the total amount of all appropriations for State purposes, the general as sembly should by joint resolution ap portion the total amount to the va rious counties according to taxable wealth. This would make necessary the maintenance of your present tax commission, or the establishment of some central board whose duties it would be to obtain and submit in formation necessary to enable you to determine the proper apportionment to each county, or you can authorize the governor to appoint the necessary clerical assistance to enable the gov ernor's office to furnish this informa tion. A county board should be pro vided, charged with the listing of all property in the county for taxation. The county could be-appropriately di vided for this purpose into subdivisr ions, according to township or school district fines. In this way an annual tax survey could be made at a mini mum cost, and in the course of a few years all property could be listed for taxation at its actual value, as the constitution requires. In arriving at actual value for the purpose bf taxa tion various questions will arise, it will be comparatively easy to ascertain the taxable wealth of the county, Which should naturally be based on production and income from the va rious lines of business and industries in the county. The taxable wea'.th of a county will, of course, change from time to time, and a new apportion | ment should be made each year., I have stated repeatedly to the-people of South. Carolina that I did not ex pect a reduction of taxes, becat.se I have felt, and now feel, that if the State is to develop and there can be ; no question as to this, it means the expenditure of more money from the public treasury, but at the same time I insist that we can have, and should have, an equitable distribution of the tax burden. < There is a general demand and a * real necessity for improved transpor tation facilities. We must: have better public highways. Whether you decide to build roads by direct State appro priation, by bond issue of the State or' the various counties, whatever meth- , od you may see fit to adopt it means ' the expenditure of more money. The people of the State want better ( roads 'anc& better schools, and are \ willing to pay the necessary cost, , but as you increase the amount of ? your tax, the inequality already exist- ( ing becomes more burdensome, and the dissatisfaction with our present system becomes more intensified. In a general way I have submitted j to you "What seems to me, after a j careful study of ^he question, the proper solution of our tax difficulty. I do not expect to accomplish the ob- . ject desired in a year, or even two - years, but I believe the general plan is workable, and will ultimately give , us satisfactory result. It would re- - quire too much time to go into de- , tails. i The chief function of the governor ; under our plan of government as de-1 < clared by our constitution, is to see < that the laws are faithfully executed 1 in mercy. It is gratifying to know that there is an ever increasing de- j mand for an impartial administration 1 of justice. I believe that the admin- : istration of justice, to bo effective and i satisfactory, should be tempered with i mercy, but first of all a standard of ^ justice must be maintained. The law i is the security o.f the citizen, and he who wilfully violates it should expect 1 to pay a just penalty. I do not wish ] !".to be misunderstood on this subject. < I knew from my own personal experi- i I once that events show juries some- j j [times make mistakes. In some in- j j stances judges impos-- sentences that 1 J prove to be too severe. Such cases. , J however, are exceptional. Tn a vast majority of cases juries render ri.uht- < eous verdicts, and judges impose just sentences. Believing as I do, that it ? is to the best interest of all the I people that the verdicts of juries, and' the judgments of courts should be! ?properly respected, I shall noi inter-1 : fere with their 'decisions, except [where I a!:: convinced that the <?;?,.]s ? I of justice will be promoted. After a careful consideration of the! task that is before us incident to war i land the readjustment period, it is my j opinion thai it would be wise for this, I general assembly to continue for an other year the State Council of De-1 fense. If such an organization was! j important in time of war. and few! ; will deny that it was, it seems to me ' equally important for a short period : 'at least immediately following the l war. It will not be necessary to ap propriate as much money for this; : body as was appropriated the past : year. An appropriation of $5.000 ig ! considered sufficient, and I trust you | will find it consistent with your duty ! to make this appropriation with a view to the prosecution of a vigorous! campaign to arouse our people to the j importance of better education facili- j ties and various other questions which ? will be deute for a while. I can not conclude this addres I without a word in behalf of the ex ! Confederate soldier. While we an j honoring, as we should, the boys \vh< ! are now returning from the victorious j fields of France, let us not forget th< thin gray line. Almost all of thos< j who composed it have already cross j ed the river. I feel that the State i; I financially able to give to the Con federate soldier an increased pensior |at this time. We owe these men r S debt of gratitude, that we can neve] repay in kind, but we can give tc j them'in these their declining years th* ; ordinary comforts of life as a toker I of our appreciation of their heroi< i sacrifice. There are some yet amongsl us who went through the thick Of th< \ fight, and the pension they are novs 'receiving is not enough to keep th< Iwolf from the door. If we are evei to do anything for these gallant met more than is now being done, we musi ' do it now. Ten years hence prac; ! ticaliy all of them will have answered the last roll call. I have not attempted to make tc you any detailed suggestions as to leg islation necessary to accomplish and carry out the recommendations which I have submitted. I have tried to in dicate in a general way a course oi action. My purpose is to lay before you some conditions as I see them. You will be able to suggest remedies, if you agree with me as to the exist ing necessities. There are many mat ters of real importance that I have not been able even to touch upon. 1 have tried, however, to give you my views on what I consider Questions of prime importance and of pressing necessity. I shall from time to time call other matters to your attention a? it may appear to me wise. I believe it is necessary th^t you make a liber al provision for an organized militia. There is some doubt as to what will be the future policy of the war de partment. It is my purpose to deal with this matter in a special message as soon as I have an opportunity to confer with the adjutant general and others especially interested. I shall endeavor to discharge my duty as :t is defined by the constitution and laws of the State. If you see fit to adopt measures not in accordance with my views for the accomplishment of our common purpose, you may rest as sured that I shall give to such meas ures an unbiased consideration. It is for the legislature to enact laws and for the governor to execute them. Whatever' laws are enacted I shall endeavor to administer so as to ac complish the purpose intended. I want to see South Carolina take a positive and advanced step to safe guard the future. Whatever may be the cost, whatever may be the sacri fice involved, we must maintain our. democratic institutions and preserve to our posperity the blessing of liberty purchased by the blood of our fathers and so recently saved and secured to us by the sacrifice of our returning he roes. Let us turn our face to the morn ing of a new day and like Longfel low's hero "bear ever upward through snow and ice, the banner with the strange device, Excelsior.?

Brisk Buying of War Saving Stamps 3 forked the ( Jose of the Year? ?73.000 the Final Purchase Figures. The total purchases of War Savings stamps for Suniter county for the year 191$ reached $273,000 in round figures, th<> exact amount having not yet been compiled. This is at the ma turity value. The actual money re mitted by the Sumter postoffiee for the c\ unty's sales was $229,980 14. The sales for the State passed the ten million dollar mark. A similar spurt towards the end seemingly having been made in all the counties. Mr. Herbert A. Moses, chairman of War Savings for this county has giv en out the following statement: Sumter county made a fine record towards the close of the year and did much to recover the ground it had lost by lagging all during the year. During the latter half of December this county bought about $80,000 worth of stamps: it led in the buying Cor the week of December 21, occu pied second place Cor the week of !><> comber 28 and fourth place Cor the two days, the 30th and 31st. For those two days Anderson led with a per capita buying of 03 cents, Green ville and Sparenburg had a per cap ita of 90 cents each and Sumter a oer cj pita of S7 cents. Next after it was Laurons with a per capita of S2 cents and next after that the per capita trailed downward. December, of course, was Samter's heaviest buy ing month: June was second heaviest and September third. f will not pretend to throw bou nuets all around and say that every one joined in this movement nobly, for tunny who could have contribut ed of their time and effort and lent of the ir means failed to respond, but a great many did do Hue. disinter ested and self-sacrificing work to spread the knowledge of War Savings and to promote buying of these small government securities. Had it not been for these loyal and patriotic men. women and children, the county would have missed even further! reaching the mark set by its own i pledges and as it is. it has missed j the mark by nearly a .hundred thou-j sand dollars for it pledged to buy! ?370.000 worth of stamps. Undoubt edly the cotton and cotton seed sit-j utaion prevented many from buying the stamps that they pledged to buy: j a great many people told me toward! the end of the year that they would not buy until during 1019. There: were at least two $1.000 pledgers and, one $500 pledger among these. ? The Sumter postoffiee of course; led in the selling with $19,000 worth ; of stamps. Xcxt after it came Wedge- j field with $14,000; Mayesville with: $9.300. Brogdon with $6,800. Shiloh; with $3.900, Hagood with $3,800, and , Itembert about $.3,000. These figures; were furnished me by the directorjsj ; office in Charleston from the reports ; sent in by the postoffices. The other j postoffices in this county did not sell enough or did not report enough tq| j make any showing. ; Several weeks ago I tendered to the! i State director my resignation as coun ty chairman to go into effect with the ' passing or i:?is. The only reason I did this was that I could not further : make the sacrifice of time that this! ! work demanded, but which I waS willing to make as long as the nation! was at war. War Savings Stampfl will be on sale all during this year; the government n^eds the revenue that these stamps can bring in. One can not form a better habit than to put a certain fund into these stamps each week or each month. All of US should buy regularly, and especially no on-- who . pledged during 1918> should stop buying until the full j amount of the pledge has been pur . chased. \ Wiping Out Zapata Influenza and Famine Cleaning Up Mexico of Bandits.
