INCREASE O SALARIES. Greenville _Xews. Columbia, Oct. 10.-Governor An sel stated ioday that in-.his annual message te :the :general .-assemblny, which convnes in January, he will recommend that :the salary of the governor he inereased from $3,000 to S$4.000 and That thf, state eret a new executive malsion.,(:n the si:e of the ..present building. The go7erior has found,.s other .overnors have fourd, that the sal ary paid the governor of So,th Car olnia is inadequate-and thla4 it costs from $1.000 -o $2.000 a year nore to d-ive in Cohmihia as:governor tjtan the 1vlfr r ives .1*om the state. ,th iryiA ha noi had, in re ecstf years at lea-st. a goverr;or w?iu Cnr?s to "1plrge.'' e all, b Gov eruw r fnsel 1:Re mo of his prede T' IL~ I ~h~- Il re)e ern,, Ase.

Fot instance,the trips-which the gov ernor makes as governor say to dhe Jamestown Expasition, are paid-ior out of his ow -pocket. 'Gov. Aniel is pretty much of-a -philosopher and says that he knew &ll of this wien he asL ed the people to -elect hia, governor, therefore he is not objeciag on thi account, but he thiiiks the sTiate shoukl provide -in the fuinre f(r. meeting -such expenses. So -long as I am gov ernor;'' iaid Gos;ernor Ansel, "I pro ,,pose to- maintait the position of the ..office - no .caatter -hat the expense.

'if Gow-rnor Ansel -de Istres to snceeel himself he can de so without a dotibt., but if he prefers to heed the request of some of his frienids and aspire to the senate nex-t summier there will be. plentty of eandi dates for governor .even with the sal -ary at $3,000 as at prese-ni. However, --while the salary is -no't the ceonsidera dtien whic~h moves meii to run for gov. srnor,-it--is a fact thaet-me-n who would have madie the state splendid execu -tives have been deterred from seek ~ing the position by 'the knowledge -thatS2t we.id cost them more -to wear ~the -honors of offiee than the salary :and they couldd not afford, out of consideration jo their faniilies -to ta~ke the risk. . The 'fact is that the salaries of Al the state officials are ridietuchsly low in view of the -duties imposed and the eost -of living. The run of false economy -which -w*s inaugurated -17 years ago -and resu'ited in deereases all along the line, but a few years ago -the salaries of the suprceme court jus. -siees which had been cut to $2,856, were increased 'to $3,000. Chief Jus. tiee Pope is the only member of the court that has so far benefitted by the is-erease, as he was re-eleeted since the in-erease and the .thiers were elect ed before that time. ~The other state offeia4s~should be raised eerrespoddingly; the state treasurer ,who gives a bond4 of $90,000 receives $1,9%G a year salary. Can the foremost lawyer in South Carolini be expected to become attorney gen eral at the salary'l In his last message to the general asembly, submitted last January, .just before he went out of office, Gor' ernor Heyward called attention to this matter of salaries and declared that the justices of the supreme court and the governor, particularly are ~underpaid. He urged that increases be made but nothing was done. Gov ernor Heyward. by the way, had op posed the decrease in the state levy in order that the state might be put on a cash basis, but the legislature re duced the levy from five and one-half to fiv mills and as a consequence the Witha reftTence to the new mansion, Governor Ansel will recommend to the reneral assembly that . a new niildin, be ereeted on the present lot, which is the highest. point in Colum bia. an elegait location on entire block on Arsefnel hill. His idea is. :hat the rear of the new building sho1ld be on 'Laurel street, with en t-rance on the other three streets. Teliland. Gad:1den and Lincoln. Gov einor Ansel would oppose any change il the location of the mansion. ~iorth it has been suggested that it firlit be moved to what is generally Sknowwn as the "fashinable section'' 0t, Columbia. south of Gervias street.
