South Carolina's Wonderful Prosperity.
During the prst 12 months South j
Carolina 'has been blessed with a wonderful
prosperity. From every standpoint,
the good year 1913 has been the
best year in the history of the State.
Material progress has been steady
and rapid, and always sure, and edSEVENTEEN
ucational advancement and moral
uplift have not lagged behind. The
total enrollment in the scnools is
greater than ever before, there being
167,914 wliiite children in attendance
upon the public schools, as compared
with 156,280 white children during
the session of 1911-12. Ten years
ago the total enrollment of
. white children was 134,330. There
k are 4,584 white teachers in the public |
schools, an increase of 221 over the j
preceding year, which says the re-;
port of the State superintendent of !
eM'cation. "was one of the greatest
improvements made during the year."
Ten years ago there were 3,492 white
teachers in tie State?an increase of
about 1,100 during the past decade.
A good many of the school districts !
have levied special faxes as high as j
eight mii? ;n order to take advantage :
of State aid.

llilz, in these se.en crops a^one,
:measured in dollars, was $31,25*9,070
?a sum only $20,000,006 less than
the total valuation of ail farm .products
in 1900. The i-orn crop for 1913
as 4,566,000 bushels greater than in
'1912, the average yield per acre at
o -t naving reached 20 bushels, or
within two bushels of the average for
the United States, representing an
increase 'in dollars of $10,484,8S0.
During 1913 8,962,000 more pounds of
tobacco "were produced than in 1912,
for which the growers received $4,384,339?51,930,896
more than in 1912.
The crowing tendency to raise food
supplies at home is shown try the fact
that in 1913 :245,000 more bushels of
wheat were produced in 1912, representing
an increase of $101,400
over the 1912 w'heat crop. ' The cotton
crop of 1913 -was perhiips the
second largest the Slate nas ever
raised, anfl was the best ever marketvl
in quality, bringing io the farmers
ahout $9S?o00,000. The eros? income
to the people from agriculture during
1913, may be conservatively estimated,
according to the department
- ^ * At/*A
of agriculture, at apprommaieiy $iou,000,000,
or more than three times
what it was in 1900. This is "without
regard to live stock industry, w.iich
is also increasing and rapidly. And
even yet, according to these who have
studied the -possibilities and conditions,
the agricultural opportunities in
South Carolina have yet only been
barely touc'hea.
In the decade from 1900 to 1910 the
value of manufactured porducts in
South Carolina jumped from $53,336,
OUO (exceeding -agriculture ax mat
time) to $113,236,000. In 1912 the
manufactured products amounted to
$124.,544,08$. The figures for all
manufacturing are not available for
'913 at the time this message is writer
but the increase was almost as
substantial as was shown for agriculture.
The figures, however, for the principal
item in our manufacturing industry?the
textiles?are available.
The textile plants in money value during
the year 1913 turned out ,goods
almost to the value of the cotton crop
of the State and nearly to the amount
or me capital employed, mere was
- -"rrease of $4,903 0f-2 In capital
invested over 1912. The increase in
'-nine of annual product over 1912 at
the midsummer census was $5,293,513,
while it is estimated that the final figures
now being compiled by the department
of agriculture will show an
increase over 1912 in this regard of
more than $10,000,000. The value of
'ho -nrndnop rinrins: 1913 will annroxi
mate $84,500,000, and the capital invested
is now $88,674,733. The average
number of persons employed is
49.695, an increase of 1,938 during the
nast year. There was an increase of
SI,242,810 in the amount paid to operatives
in 1913 as compared with
1912. The spindleage was in^re^sed
^ring the year by 153,516, the total
number of spindles now being 4 527.'30.

ihe business outlook is bright, bas.d
upon healthy business conditions,

a. dp ..t ne\er was there a better
year for South Carolina, and never
vas there so bright a future belore
the State and her people.
Consider the facts, gentlemen.
They are ample cause for congratulation
and for pride.
Consider them well. Does it look
as if Blease and "Bleaseism" have
, ruined the State, as was predicted by
my opponents in the campaign of
12412?
The p/osperity and the progress of
ererv preceding year have been far
surpassed, and t'he showing which
, has been made is not snort of won/ IcurTiiT
Political Peace ?
I 'had hoped for political peace dur.
ing .the past year?that the claim on
the ;part of my opponents of uie
desire for political peace had come
froca honest .hearts. In many instances,
I regret to say, the results
have j>roved otherwise., To bring
about this much-desired peace I have
done iny parL Ko man can truthfully
charge me with ever having done
anything to cause turmoil and bitterness.
.No man has ever yet heard me
make a speech in which I arraigned
class against class. I have never
.advised labor to attack capital, nor
.favored it, or capital attacking labor.
I have never said anything about the
lawyer against the .farmer, or the
mill man against the farmer, or the
farmer against the mill man, or the
merchant against any vother man in
a different walk in life, nor anything
that could b.e so construed, in any
speech that I have ever made. I have
.ever said anything in regard ..to
town against country, or country
against town, nor anything which
would tend to cause disturbance in
our State. I have defended myself
when attacked, and shall continue to
do so as long as I have the power.
I !have been most foully lied upon,
villified aud abuse-d, and the effort
has been made all along to mike it
appear that Blease was stirring up
trife and factionalism, when those
who were thus speaking and writing
knew at the time that my enemies
were causing the strife and dissen :ons,
and that I have been pleading
for peace among our people. The
organization of the campaign in the
spring of 1912, the collection of thousands
upon thousands of dollars to
aid in my defeat, the reorganization
of the clubs in April, the packing of
the May convention, the packing of
the managers of election, refusing
me and my friends representation on
the boards of managers, all go to
show that the fight was against me,
-ind the bitterness precipitated
gainst me, and not by me.
If I had been let alone and allowed
to serve my two terms* in peace,
there would have been some reason
for giving credence to the protestations
of my opponents that they
wanted peace?and if they had pracoed
what they preached, there would
have been peace. But that was not
what they wanted, and the mean,
villainous. contemDtible campaign
that was waged against me, and the
figat made upon me since, show up
their statements as the falsehoods
which they are. After the campaign
was all over, after I had proclaimed
peace from the State house steps,
and after the legislature had met and
adjourned, and it had begun to look
*hough there was going to be
narmony, wno started tne )Ana?rson
law suits against my administration
of affairs, toe Cherokee supervisors
of registration law suits, the muddle
in Sumter, the continual annoyance

who served as special judge in
this State.

in plain violation of the Constitution
Now comes the historical
ccnr . .ion, a position as member of
which we have, all presumed does not
pay any salary, but is one of honor, |
and . ere we have an open defiance

has held that this judge
ac atod his position upon the historical
commission when he accepted
the judgeship. I appointed a suc(cc...scr
tc him, but at a meeting held
in the city of Columbia, on the 17th
i e -e nber, t.iis very distinguished
a 1 not only held that he
was still a member of the commission,
but defied the opinion of tiie attorney
general, and stated that he would be
glad to take the matter to the supo
ourt with the attorney genral.
Of course Mr. Smith is a nign judge,
and should not be criticized for
violating the law, but I am simply
showing you still another open flaunting
of the law by my enemies. If
Mr. Smit'j were a little negro crap
shooter, or some poor white man
who happened to sell a little whiskey,
this same judge would give him a
criminal sentence for doing what he
i himself is now doing, in my opinion,
i Next time he sentences some one he
i should say, "I am also a violator of
! the law; you can't sentence me, but
I will sfntence you; you are a com,
mon citizen, but I am a big (?)
judge; I can violate the lav; and defy
- - - - ? -11 * 1
it, but, you little sarimp, i win leacu
you a lesson.'' * I used to think Mr.
Smith a learned man, but I now conclude
that he is a little cheap, partisan
politician, who thinks he knows
all the laws, while the lawyer before
him knows none. I am not further
(surprised at his accepting a judgeship
from a Republican while claimling
to be a Democrat.
Another instance is that of Mr. Mc'
Pniinn^h whn also vacated his nosi
tion on the historical commission by
serving several times as special judge, j
which has been held to be an office in
this State. Yet Mr. McCullough, like
Judge Smith, in open defiance of the
iaw, holds to his position on this
historical commission and continues
to act, and he and Mr. Smith, with j
two other members of the com- j
mission, Messrs. Kennedy and Snowden,
set- themselves up as the historical
commission, in open violation
and defiance of the constitution of
this State.
'Yet, gentlemen, I am criticized for
narHnninP' tthp Hf.tlft fellow Who
violates the k\v and be0s mercy,
while thece "big" men are above the
law, and cannot be reached, and
Blease is criticized on the charge of
creating a political disturbance, while
.hese "big" men, and others like them,
are causing the turmoil by refusing
to abide by the law.
I can't understand why these men
are so tenacious of this little job.
There is supposed to be no money in
it?not even the actual expenses of
attending the meetings. Why is it
that these two distinguished gent er\ri

on to piece of bone? Doesn't it look
as if there is something in the woodpile?
And why are men holding the high
offices of United States senator ard
State senator so tenacious in holding
on to college trusteeships, in violation
of the constitution of their State,
which they are sworn to uphold?
Doesn't it look as if there is something
in the woodpile?
I care nothing for the little position
on the historical commission. It |
doesn't interest me personally. I am (
cafiefiort that -o/hatpvpr histrvrv is i
written as to me, if it is written by ]
my friends it will be fair, and if j
written by my enemies it will be an
infamous lie, such as they have been i
writing about me since I have been
governor and even before?viver since j
my entrance into politics. Therefore, ?
this little job doesn't ma..e any dif- t
ference to me. I merely call it, and t
the other matters, to your attention,
o snow you tne open uenance 01 ine
law on the part of certain people, and i
to show you who is responsible for
keeping political peace away. :

political strife and dissensions "vyill

will prevail among you. I trust
that -when you shall have adjourned
the people of Souih Carolina can
truly say this was the most cob,
structive legislative we have ever
had. If they can not. it will be your
I own fault, for you are the architects,
the contractors and the builders, and
if the building is fauly neither can
blame the other. Ycu must all stand
or ' '1 together.
May God guide and direct you, that
you may build wisely and well, and
may He bless each and every one of
you in your. work.
Very respectively, ?
COLE. L. BLEASE, Governor.
