GOTERNOR MANNING
BEGINS NEW TERM
INAUGURATED AS GOVERNOR -OF
SOUTH CAROLINA FOR SEC
OND TIME.
UNDER THE CAPITAL DOME
Interesting Review of the Doings of
the General Assembly Durin.g the
Past Week.-Many important Bills
Are introduced in Both Houses.
Columbia, S. C.-Important and far
reaching governmental reforms were
urged by Richard Irvine Manning in
his second inaugural address to. the
general assembly of South Carolina.
The inaugural was delivered by the
governor in the hall of the house of
representatives before a large and
representative gathering, after he had
for the second time taken the oath of
office as governor of South Carolina.
The message contained about 6,000
words and was read by the governor.
Among the matters discussed were:
education, equal suffrage, finances,
economy, penat and charitable prob
lems, commission on economy and ef
ficiency, the National Guard ail a ni
trate flaxation plant for South Caro
lina.
Gov. Manning reviewed in detail the
progressive measures which have been
enacted during his first administra
tion.
"If liquor is imported into the
State, it can impose a tax on such Im
portation. This tax would defray the
expense of enforcement of the law,"
said the governor at one point in his
address.
"I trust that the general assembly
will enact such legislation as will
minimize the evils of liquor and make
possible the strict enforcement of the
law," said Gov. Manning.
"Permit me to say that, in viewing
the accomplishments of the past two
years, we should, from experience
gained strengthen certain of these
laws, rather than devote ourselves to
new and radical legislation," said
Gov. Manning after reviewing the pro
gressive measures which were passed
during his first term as governor.
At another point in his address the
governor asked for a law which will
give him the right to suspend a sheriff
for neglect of duty.
Gov. Manning asked the general as
sembly to give careful attention to
the planks in the State and National
Democratic platforms bearing on wo
man's suffrage. He did not make any
specific recommendation as to legis
lation on this point. The State Dem
ocratic party asked that the suffrage
question be submitted to the people
for a vote.
The governor again recommendea
the passage of an inheritance tax law.
"In my judgment the general assem
bly should be invested with the author
ity to provide by law for the assess
ment and taxation of property and
franchise," Bald Gov. Manning.
Gov. Manning urged the legislature
* to keep down expenditures to a mini
mum consistent with efficiency and
progress.
The creation of a commission on
economy andl efficiency wvas urged by
* 0Gov. Manning. The object Oi the coin
mission would be to prevent an over
lapp~ing of work by the several state
departments. This commission would
modify the laws governing (lie depart
.ments and clearly define (lie duties of
each. The commission would also ini
vestigate the matter of "establishing a
budget system in our state govern
mont. A report from (lie commission
would be required in 1918.
"I recommend that Section 6 of Arti
cle 11 of (lie constitution be amended
so (hat (lie constitutional three-mill
tax on all of the property of (lie state
shall be changed from a county to a
state tax and paid into the state treas
ury. The proceeds of the state school
tax to be apportioned among (lie coun
ties on a uniform basis, such basis to
be determined by the general assem
bly. This provision would aid the
weak counties, and put forward the
general education work in the state,"
said 0ov. Manning discussing means
for improving the state's educationial
system, Hie said that the mill schools
should be placed on a parity with hlb
other schools i the state.
Got'. Manning made a plea for the
establishment of a nitrate fixation
plant near Columbia.
"In conclusion, I urge upon our pee
pie again to turn their backs on past
dissentrions and bitterness-to be a
forward looking people with their
faces turned resolutely to the future,''
said Gov. Manning in conclusion.
The hail of the house was packed
with a large number of spectators to
hear the inaugural address.
Five trustees for the South Caro
lina medical college were elected from
night nominations. WV. W. Fennell of
Rock Hill, J. M. Davis of Orangeburg,
and R. J0. Hughes of Laurens were re
elected. W..S. Lynch of Florence and
HI. H. Wyman of Aiken were the new
members. Four of these are to fill
full terms and Mr. D~avis will fill out
the unexpired term of (lie late C. N.
Wyatt of Piekens. Other candidates
were W. 0. Houseal of Newberry, who
was defeated for re-election. W. A,
-Woodruffrof Pickens and C. S. Breedin
of Anderson.
A. K. Sanders of Hagood, mem.ber ol
the house of representatives frou
Sumter county and chairman- of tih
agricultural committee; was elected oi
the second ballot superintendent of the
state penitentiary. Mr. Sanders sue
ceeds D. J. Griffith, for many years at
the head of the penal institution, who
did not desire re-election. Mr. Sand
ers was for several years a director
of the penitentiary.
Directors of tick erdication and
farm extension work met with the
ways and means committee. Conpre
hensive programs of the, work in pro
gress were made, along with an out
line of plans to be- developed. Farm
extension work and tick eradication
were urged as an economic necessity
in view of the threatened invasion of
the boll weevil. 'Co-operation by the
federal government in the prosecutiori
of this work is contingent upon state
aid.
J. K. Breedin, organizer of the pro
hibition campaign for the referendum
and now state superintendent of the
Anti-Saloon league, in discussing the
liquor situation from the prohibitlo
standpoint, said: "I have no fear o
any execption in favor of Charleston
Mr. Fromberg knows nothing of the
sentiment in this state or he would no
have tried again what must be a fu
tile effort for the graitfication ol
Charleston's pampered notions of he
special deserts. If ever a town wa
persistenly misguided, that town I.
Charleston. But of course Mr. From
berg will find an organized prohibi
tion opposition to his bill and eventu
ally Charleston will get in line and bW
glad of it."

LESSON FOR JANUARY 28
REVERENCE OF JESUS FOR HIS
FOLLOWERS' HOUSE.
LISSON TEiXT-John 2:13-22.
GOLDEN TEXT-My house shall be
called a, house'of prayer.-Matt. 21:13.
Skipping the details of genealogy,
birth and boyhood, Jolh plunges into
the work and ininistry of our Lord.
Our previous lessons have taken up
the matter of his eternal Goeihead, the
word made flesh, the witness, of John,
Jesus and John the Baptist, his first
disciples and the wedding at Canaan.
Some of these events have been skipped
Over without much colsiderationl, vet
the teacher should review thema briefly.
The wedding it Caaain probably oc
curred in March, A. D. 27, and the
events of this lesson in April of the
Passover week of that year, both
events occurring early In the first year
of the ministry of our Lord. Jesus
went to the w(edding for lie had many
things to teach by means of it. Tho
story is fanillar, and yet God is per
forming the siite miracle every year
except by somewhat- slower process.
John lays strong emphasis upon the
"sigils" which Jesus performed as evi
dence of his oillee. This miracle is anlt
allegory. It also throws light i1pon
Jesus' reitlotin to the home.
1. Jesus Applies the Word of God
(vv. 12-17). As the "Son of the Law"
Jesus observed all of its reqluirements
and therefore went to the Passover
(Deut. 10:10; Luke 2:41). We would
suggest the reading of Edershein's
"Life of Christ" at this polit, especial
ly his description of the feast. Jesus
found much of interest, and also saw
that \hich filled his spirit with indig
nation as hie entured the temple (v.
14). Great numbors of oxon and sheep
and doves were required for the sacri
flees. Every family must bring for
sacrifice a lamb, the sacrifices being
lain in the inner court near the great
altar. Those living nearer the city
could bring their owmi sacrifices, but
those who calIme from far distanit points
found it more convenient to purchase
their sacrifices nearer the temple. Thus
a business had grown up within the
courts, which gave rise to all immilense
aiount of covetouslness and sellish
nless. The yearly tax due from every
Jew could not be received except in
the native coin ; hence the money
changers withill tile courts. The re
sult was thilat tile temple had become a
"(len of thieves" (Mark 11:17). This
ihad undermined the power of religion,
and turned mn away from tile truth.
This place, mnade to be a house of
prayer (Jer. 7:11; Isa. 50:7) had be
come a vanity fair; a s1ow, and tile
very object of the tomple was sieri
ficed to the greed of gain. The (he
fense often maie in our day, of buy
in~g and selling in tile house of God
that it has to do with tile cautse of
worship) will not bear- scrutiny in tile
light of tis passage. into thlese suir
rouindings tis younig reformer eters,
and1( places is finge'r upon1 tile hieart
of tile malttter' whenl lie quotes the scripi
ture. The reason of is action wuas
whait tile scripture said( about the
house of God. Presenlt dlay followers
of .Jesus can learnl a lessoni from these1
wSord1s.
II. Jesus Fulfills the Word of God
(vv. 18-22). Jesus spalke as 011e hav'
lng nut hority, sand thiese merchlants
knew thley were in tile wrong. He emI
bodied ini imself, as prophiet, the
mloral setimient of' thle lnatloll, andI( e'x
eried his auitority. It looked like high,
lhanlded( uisurpat Ion unless JIesuis were a
pr-ophet senlt from God ; thlerefore tile
demand~li~ for his credlentials (v. 18).
Jesus gave a signl, a sign whlich thley
did( not undl~erstand11( at the timie (v. 19;
MaiL . 12:38-40 ; 16:1-4). The resur
rection of Jesus Is God's seal to all of
the claIms of Jesus. Hie ailso speaks
of his bodly as5 a symlbol and type' ol'
what is to take place in thiir nationmal
temple, an event whlich occurtred some'
forty years later, though they alt t'
time did not u1mderstand1( it. .1 tsums fore
saw~ thait these lenders woulel desitroy
his bodly on the cross, and tha t for i he
same reason they were at the pre'st
time opposing 11111 in what hi' had
done. The Jews, thinkIng only of theilr
temple, ini wuhose courts they were
standihng, referred to tile tie sp~ent ll
tile erection of thet butildinmg (v. 20)).
and thloughlt that their argumoent was
invincIble, but they did not know what
was to take place. Not evenIthe ils
cipies of Jesus unlderstoodi his words
at the time, but a fter his resu rrecilon
they remlembeed'( them and( thiir fiul
filliment. Th'le detht andi resurrtection

Being broken down in health, suffering
with kidney trouble, despairing of ever
being well again, I was advised by a friend
to try Dr. Kilner's Swanpi-Root which
gave ie instant relief, and after using
several bottles, 1 am now sound and well
and can safely reconmend Swanip-Root
to anyone suffering with back or kidney

I also had rhemnatism, and I have had
more relief from Dr. Kiliner's Swamp
