Of sweet came sour, of day came night
Of long desire came brief delight.
Ah! love, and what thmg came ol thee
Between the sea down aud the sea ?
B-tween the sea mirk and the sea,
Joy grew io grief, grief grew to me;
L 've turned to tears, and tears to fire,
And dead delight to new desire;
L 've's talk, love's touch there seemed to b<
B -tween the sea-sand and the sea.
B tween the sundown and the sea,
Love watched one I o?ir of love with me;
Then down the ali golden watpr ways

THE PUBLIC DEBT.
The debt iunded and being funded
i- $G 571,825. This i? a decrease ol
$70.496 on the amonnt reported last
year-the Sinking Fund Commission
owing retired by purchase and can
ce'lKtion-$71,369, and a small amount
of additional stock having been is
-u^d by Jjint Resolution of the last
L gislature. .
Ot the public debt, the scrip of the
Ag'icu Itu ral Colleges, amounting to
$191 800, H a permanent investment;
the deficiency bonds and stocks,
. mounting to $501022, mature in
1SSS; and consols, amounting to
$ .S7S033. mature in 1893 The
whole debt bear3 interest at ? pu
cent. This in promptly met as it ac
crues, and is paid in Columbia, Char
leston and New York. If the hold
er of State stock desires it, and
niruisbes the Treasury with his post
f?ce addres? the interest due is 1er
warded to hflx upon each January
and July. Th? securities ol the State
ire sold upon the market above par.
We have no fljatmg^debt. Current
expenses as they y occur are met with
current lund?, and there is a balance
"?F$ J?.?V' IS Tu[y Trrnfttii jr unm'.-.iu^
your disposition]
The coupons of brown consols are
received in payment of taxes. Theie
is no good reason why the coupons
of deficiency bonds thould not bd re
ceivable in like manner. It would
put all the/credi:ors of the S'ate Ou
toe same tooting; and as the holders
of deficiencies are largely our own
c;r:z-ns, it would add to their con
venieuce while it enhsnced the value
of tbi* cl-ss of bonds. I respectful
ly recommend this measure to your
consideration.
REVENCE3 AND EXPENDITURES.
The revenues of the State for cur
rent expenditures are derived frcm
?he net earnings or the Fenitentiary,
from the phosphate royalty and from
the general tax. The Penitently
paid into the Treasury last year $40
000. The phosphate royalty is stead
ily increasing; during the past yeat
it amounted to $138 254-being an
increase of over $17,000 opon the
preceding year.
By the report of the Comptroller
General, you will see that the usual
and ordinary expenses of the State
government, not defrayed by the
phosphate royalty and the ^urpiur
tn the Treasury, can, without consid
eiing the income from the Peuiten
ti?ry, be met by a levy of five tenths
ot a mill upon the dollar of taxable
values. The levy for interest on tbe
public debt, (three and one-tenth
mill-) is to be added -thus making
a general tax levy of three and six
teuths mille.
Interest, upon tbe pub'ic debt is
payable before 'he- annual taxes are
fully collected. To avoid subjecting
any of the public creditors to delay
lu receiving their dues, the Legisla
ture has tor the last two years annu
ally author.zed a temporary loan in
an icipation of the taxes. The liberal
action ol the banks of deposit in
! permitting over drafts ard requiring
I interest upon each only from date has
j enabled the Treasury to effect the
? accommodation at trivial expense.
' Authority for a similar purpose will
j bo necessary for the nest and for
! each ensuing year. The espediept
I answers well enough while the money
j maiket is easy, but with the occur
j renee of a financial panic it mitiht be
; difficult to accomplish. The public

j the welfare of the State to hp tho3

! our taxes are paid semi annually
j and the first payment ie optional, the
? taxpayer beiDg charged interest if hi
j defers payment of his whole tax till
th-? time cf the second payment
Under these circumstances, to retort
to a collection cf the taxes tor inter?s!
before the interest is duw.it ia necessary
j to make the first semi, annual pay rt
I of taxes compulsory, and then for
I year to increase the tax levy si
j ciently to raise the sum for which
I the experience of the Treasury
' ! has been found necessary to m
j over drafts upon the banks. We
j experiencing a period of exceptio
prosperity, and there will be no 1
ter time to accomplish this d?sira
end. If the measure commends
eelf to your honorable body, the
' ditional sum to be raised this y
will be about $100,000 and will
cesaitate the addition of S 10 m
previously estimated. The wh
tax levy will tt.,u be 4 4-10 mi
The levy lor last year was 4 J mi
It will still be necessary for one y<
longer to authorize the tempon
loan, because the first payment of
terest for 1884 will occur before a
part of the tax you now anther
is collected, and will have to be n
out of funds now in the Treasu:
which are not sufficient for the pi
pose, and at the same time to cai
on the government until the taxed
18S3 are collected.
PENITENTIARY.
On the 1st November, 1881, th.
were 690 convicts in the Penitent
ry. At the same date this year t
number was 824. Of these 778 we
colored and 46 vbite. Of the 8
convicts, 224 were leased upon phc
phate work ; 121 were leased up
railroads; 25 upoi. the Seegers fan
a ,d 454 within the walls of the pr:
on. Ot those within the prison 1
were at work with a contractor
making shoes, 120 at work on tl
Columbia canal, and the remaind
in various employments.
The convicts under lease are sui
jected to a rigid surveillance by tl
authorities of the Penitentiary, ar
I am satisfied that during the yea
both within and without the priso:
they have been well fed, properl
cared for, and their sentenoes of peni
servitude humanely executed.
A large amount of work has bee
done by convict labor upon impr<?v<
mente and extension of the Peni ter
tiary itself. A number of hand
have been worked o i the Columbi
canal, and an examination of the Su
perintendent's Keport exhibits th
following traneactiona : A balance ii
hand at the beginning of the fioca
year of $21,199; earnings for thi
y?ar, $94,236; expenses proper o
and mileage of Board of Directors
$1,267; paid on canal, $8 096; paie
into State Treaeury, $40,000; &Qd re
maining in bands of Superintendent
$14 901. This last amount is iu catt
and bankable notes given for con
viet labor; its disposition awaits youi
direction.
Thia exhibit contrasts favorabij
with the management of the Peniten
tiary in the period from 1S68 to 1870,
Tuen, beside the earnings of the con
victs, it required an annual average
appropriation of $62,800 from the
Stite Treasury to support the insti
tution. In the health, general ap
pearance and judicious discipline
of the convicts, a like improvement
appears.
LUNATIC ASYLUM.
During the year there have been
uoder treatment in the Asylum 755
patients. There are now present 330
white and 222 colored, making a to
tal of 550. Ot the8e525 are supported
by the State as indigent poor and 25
by themselves or friends. The laws
establishing and regulating this in
stitution contemplate that those re
ceiving its benefits who are able to
pay in whole or in part should do so,
and that the pauper alone ebou.d
receive the bounty of the State. That
supposed ab-.de in this particular ex
ists has been heretofore brought to
the attention of the General Aesem
bly, and at its last 8ef.8iou additional
legislation was provided to coirect
it. These laws are either not execu
ted or are insufficient. Fewer pa
tients pay now than before. It is not
in the power of the Trustees and offi
ce n to supervise thia matter. The
power and responsibility rests with
the authorities in the Counties who
give the papers of commitment, lt
may be that popular sentiment de
mands that unfortunates ol this class,
without regard to their means, should
be supported by the State. If this
is eo, the laws should be changed and
pay received from none. In 1876
there were 293 patienta in the Asy
lum; uow the number ia nearly
doubled. Your attention is called to
the report of the Superintendent, in
i which the increased demand for the
! coming year and the still lurgor pros
I pective demand in succeeding years
I which will be made upon this ininti
tution is clearly sot forth. There
are, by the United States cen?u9 of
1S80, in South Carolina 2,900 persons
j who may, and in most instances
I should, receive the benefit of thia
wise and noble providion for suffer
i j ing humanity. With one-fourth of
- ?bat number present in the Aaylum
, j now, abo?t oue-third of the aggregato
, j current expenses of the State ia for
i! their support. It appears to me to
i be the part of wisdom to at once set?
[ tie and enforce the pecuniary baeie
I upon which patients are to be receiv
i ed, and, with comprehensive and
t economic measures, meet the ?ncreaa
r ing demands of thia branch of the
HJUUJUH ll?JL
public expenditure. The detail? of
the Superintendent's ref ort are sug
gestive of these, and some of them
he forcibly urges. The appropriation
asked by the Trustees for the Asy
lum for the coming year is $114,194.
I am happy to believe that in scien
tific, treatment and in all that pro
motes the comfort and well-being
of its inmates this institution will
compare favorably with others else
where.
DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE.
A ux ot twenty five cents per ton
is collected on every ton of commer
cial fertilizers sold in the State and
ie made applicable to the. mainten
ance of ihe. Department of Agricul
ture. The tax realized last year
$23.704.
The Department is charged with
the inspection ai_d supervision of the
sale ot iertilizere; with the duties of
a Fish Commise.on; with the manage
ment of the State's interest in the
phosphat. mine.0; with the develop
ment of the agricultural and mechan
ical interests of the State, and with
ihe promotion of immigration. It
has been in operation for two years,
and the elaborate report of the Com
missioner to be submitted to you will
exhibit the well directed energy it
has brought to bear upon the various
and important duties with which it
is entrusted. I am persuaded that
utider its present .vigorous and judi
cious management its usefulness, al
ready manifest, will greatly redound
to the benefit of the State.
The pursuits of our people are so
largely agricultural that the bounte
ous returns of husbandry during the
last year is a subject for devout grat
itude. The cotton crop was better
than an average. The corn crop was
better than for many years. The
einall grain crops were undoubtedly
I the largest ever produced in the
State. Hice was fully up to the aver
age, and the smaller crops-sorghum,
sugar cane, peas, petatoes, fruits, &c,
-were better than usual. The Com
missioner estimates that thc excees ot
this year's production exclusive of
cotton and rice, which are our chief
market crops, over last year is much
more than the amount of farm sup
plies of which the short crop of that
year necessitated the purchaee.
I have heretofore expressed my
euee ol the paramount .importance,
socially and industrially, to the State
of. tbe_.auvepj^ql a. thrifty and intel
ligent immigration. The resources
of our fields, forests, mines and wa
ter powers are comparatively un
touched. A complete and exhaus
tive hand book of the State, under
the direction of the Board, has been
prepared and will soon be published.
Its distribution will bring to the at
tention of capitalists the opportunity
for investment that these resources
offer, and to the immigrant seekiug
a home in a genial climate the means
of betteting his fortunes which will
surround him on every hand in our
midst. You will permit rue earnest
ly to bring to your attention the sub
jpct of immigration, and to exprtBS
the hope that your wisdom will de
vise measures which will promote
this desirable end.
STATE AGRICULTURAL AND MECHANI
CAL SOCIETY.
Thia society has borne an impor
tant part in the development of the
material interests of the State. Or
ganized ia 1855, it received an annu
al appropriation of $5,000 frpg the
public Treasury, and waa handsomely
endowed from other Bourses. During
the civil war its building* were de
stroyed and its endowment dissipated.
Four years after, its revival and re
organizion was the first indication
on the part of capital and intelli
gence of reviving hope in the future
that awaited our industries. For the
last three years it bas annually re
ceived an appropriation of $2,500
irom the State.
This society holds a Summer meet
ing for the discussion of agricultural
and kindred subjects, at which is
elicited much valuable information.
Heretofore its transactions have not
been published in permanent form ;
j but its increased repources will now
permit, and it is intended in the en
suing y ar to collect them in a com*
pendions form. Its annual fairs are
held at Columbia in November. At
tho last, 10,000 persons attended;
i the premium list amounted to $5,000
j entries for the premiums offered,
j The t bibition in every department
i was highly creditable. Order and
! good feeliug pervaded the throDg^
j and during the entire week it was
j necessary tc arrest but one person for
; disorderly conduct. A continuance of
I the appropriation for thia society is
?hSkt?d.
EDUCATION.
1 he educational syetem of the

, University and in the Institution for
j the Education of the Deaf, Dumb

I eiste of the Claflin College, the Mili

aid given by the State to education
is comprehensive and judicious. The

The curriculum of the - Academy, (
is before* the war, seeks to approii- j
coate that of Weet Point; the varia- }
tion, when it occurs, beiug in view of
&e fact that its graduates will find i
?raployment chitfiy io civil life and j
their military training be needed by
the State only in the emergency ol (
inch wars as will call for other than ,
the regular fo.ceB of the country. ,
The demand of our people for the
practical and scientific training ac
companied by the wholesome discip
line afforded by this school ts evinced
by the numerous applications for pay
cadetships which had to be declined
for want of sufficient accommodation
in the building as repaired with the
small appropriation of the last ses
fiioD. Tbe number ol cadets admit
ted, iu October exhausted all availa
ble room. The meaus viere not fur
nished'to rebuild the burned wing of
the Citadel, which would double the
capacity of ile barracks. Such ap
propriation as you may deem proper
to make for the maintenance of bene
ficiares (the pay cadets maintain
themselves) in this institution must
be baaed upon the estimate of $300
fi>r each. To continue the present
number will require $20,400 for the
present fiscal yea-. Arms and accou
treraents, which the Adjutant Gen
eral'a department cannot supply, are
also necessary. A *ma!l appropi ta
lion to that department for this pur
pose is needed.
A claim, on behalf of the State,
?pon the Federal Government, for
the use aud occupation of the Citadel

I have no doubt, be soon equitably
adjusted. When this fuud is realized
it will reimburse tho State for the
8um already expended in repairs,and
probably oe sufficient both to restore
the wing bumed while in the posses
sion of the United Staten troops and
to equip the Academy fully for the

SO?TE CAROLINA COLLFrtZ.
The branch of the University, sit
uated at Columbia, is eudowed with
the portion set apart for the benefit
of white students of the fund donat
ed by the United States for the pro
motion of agriculture and the me
cbauic arts. It was rf organized last
Spring by the establishment ol five
additional professor-hips, making ten
in ail, and one ol which is of agri
culture and horticulture. The scope
of the instruction offered was largely
extended, and for seveiJ distinct and
full courses of study, some liberal
and some technical, provif-ion is made.
The Coll'ge thus reorganized and en
larged opened with 14$ ptudents in
attendance. Lodging is provided, the
only charge being ten dollars annu
ally fer repairs, and tuition is free to
all students whose parents reside in
the State. The students are boarded
at their own charge.
The developmeut hereafter to be
given to this institution ehoSild. in
order to meet the just expectations
and demands of the age and the re
quirements of the Act of Concrets,
to which it fUTPs all nf it? prrm?nent
endowment, be ?srgeiv ni the direc
tion of applied science. ]tshould be
made the home of the practical art?
and science" as well s? of the claspics.
It should be able to send lorth the
youth of the State well equipped for
the practical pursuits Hud avocations
of life, and hence technical training
should be as anxiously provided for
as liberal culture.
The agricultural departmentehould
be so developed HS to materially aid
in building up the. agricultural inter*
est* of the State. Not only should
the oppoi tuuity he given to the ming
generation of farmers to acquire the
scientific principles upon which their
calling it breed, but the ?Hrmere them
! selves should have th? bectfii of the
j experiments sud tests of a veil con
I ducted experimental farm located in
their midst. Negotiations are now
in progress between the State Bureau
of Agriculture and the agricultural
department of the College, which will,
j if perfected, tend largely to bring
j abo..t this most desirable result. ID
I order to secure harmony of purpose,
j and union ?nd concentration ol ei
; fort, tba two depart ment* will be
j wada to mutually assist and strength
j eu each other. To thie end the Col
j lego will make the analyses, research
j es and practical tests required by the
i Bureau of Agriculture, and the re
j suite will be given to the public in
.' the occasional bulletins of the Cnm
I miesiouer of Agriculture. The re
port of the Professor of Agriculture
j will also be made a part of the An
nual Report of the Bureau.
1 Tho Report of the Trustees of tho
University to be submitted, will ask
fjr a continuance of the last appro
priation of $12.000 for this College,
:rbich. in addition to its perraan
mdowment, they estimate will
?officient for its need?.

ThiR institution for the etlnc&t
jf the uniortnnaie youth of the St
s located at Cedar Springs in Sp
;anburg County and bas for ye
jeen in successJul operation. Don
,he past year it hap had sixty* two j
rils in attendan* e. I would ask ye
attention to the interesting Report
:he Superintendent, and particulai
tiis recommendation that provision
made for the education of coloi
?leaf and dumb and blind childn
The suggestion is made of tb* enti
li.-hment of a separate depart m<?
for this class of pupils, under !
*ame general management as 'hat
whites, but with its own sahordin;
offic-? suv* teachers. This arraoj
ment has been adopted in most of t
Southern States and is in accord wi
the general educational syptern of t
State in the public schools and in 1
University.
The Commissioners of the instil
tion will ask for an appropriation
$12,350, which includes the expem
of establishing the proposed coloi
department.
RAILROADS
The Railroad Commissioner r fpo
that his inspections of the railton
last year have been highly eatisfi
tory to him. Many and exteosi
improvements are noted, and the
ciiities for the safe and speedy trat
portation of persons and propel
have been muon increased. He th in
that, in another year of |?rt?rieri
there will be lew better roads iu t
South. The Commissioner ?jimina
the various questions ari-in-^ iromt
mutual relations of the corporatif]
o* '.ag the roads and the p opie w
u*e them. You are respectfully :
ferred to his Report for th? views
empresses. They are entitled to weig
as coming i rom one whose poski
bas given him opportunities ol imp*
tial observation, and whose opinio
have been maturely considere i. Mai
interesting tables accompany the R
port. They are, however, incomple
ou account of some of the roods fa
ing to make their returns in prop
time. I am unable, therefore, to giv
as I desired, a sn.rnina.ry view of tl
condition and working with ns.
these important factors ia th* life
f&ffi^ "j nm '^-4-^4-^,
Several important new railrca
have been projected and considers!.
i progress has been made towards tl
construction of them. The Ed g
field, Trenton and Aiken Railro
Company and the Atlantic and Fretii
Broad have been consolidated wil
certain North Carolina, Tenman
and Kentucky roads, whoae objeetn
point at present is Lexington, KM
tucky, under the style of the Car< ]
na, Cumberland Clap .?nd Chirac
R ti!rond Company. The orgauizatiq
has been perfected and a contract hi
been entered into for rapidly pu.-hi;
the construction. Fifty odd mi len <
the road have already been grsded :
South Carolina. When completed i
will be much the shortest line fror
the Northwestern trade centre* to lb
South Atlantic and mus^ prove of i:
calculable value to the State. It wi]
realiza the dream ol fiity years ngo
the direct and independent conner
tion of our commercial metropo.'i
with the Ohio Valley. Some.gradin,
has been done ou the Savannah V*]

MILITIA.
The organized mi?tix cousists o
eighty-one companies of, State Vol
unteer Troops, (whirr) numbering
4 376 men, nud. twenty comp*, ie* ol
National Guard, (colored; numbering
1.185 men ; aggregate. 5,561. Th?
Adjutant and Inspector General re
porta the general condition of th?
militia, in ?very respect, better tb'/i
when he inspected them in ISSI,
The officers are more conversant with
their duties, companies better drilled,
and a more general spirit o? military
enthusiasm pervades all rauks. ??Iore
than on? haif ot the companies of th*
Volunteer TroopB would corcnai c very
favorably with like organizations ol
any other State of the Union. This
impiovament is ta be NBtriWeo, ia ?
great measure, to the encouragement
^iven by the liberal appropriation
made by the Getirr<?i Aeeeiably at ile
last session " to enable companies to
maintain their organizations and to
increase their efficiency."
Many of ihe old compauies have
been disbanded, and perhaps it m?y
be advisable to still further coueinne
! the system of weeding out the iin-ffi
I cieut corps, as the nuinbr r of men
J given above can very well be reduced
! io the extent of one fifth, leaving, in
j round numbers, about 4 OOO men of
j all arms-loree amply sufficient for
all purposes.
I The appropriation ssbed for the
' militia is $22,700.
