If Governor Ansel do-! siivs lo succeed himself he can do so j ^ f. wrtlioui a (douhi, but it he prefers to' ' hei*d the r??quesi of some i^f ?iis j' * friends and aspire to the senate next! summer there will be plenty of oandi- . dates for governor even w.ilh the sal-1 ary at $3,000 sis at present.. However, .'. while tae salary is aol the <eonside.ra-i lion which moves men to run for gov-. ~ ernor,'it'is a fact that inen who would i have maoe (he j?.tate <-plendnl exeeu- ! lives have been <1 Ho rival from seek-i ing the position by i'he knowledge ^ that il would eost them more to wear the honors <-,.f office than the salary and riiey coidd not afford, out of 1 , iaonside<'ation-i.o llmir families lo take 1/ j'he risk. O y i The favt is that I lie salaries of all ^ the. slate .official* are ridiculously "low in view of the duties imposed and y the cost of living. The run of false economy which was inaugurated 17 < years ago and resnMed in decreases ~ /! all along the line, but a few years ago .'the salaries of the supreme court ,ius'fiees which bad been cut to $2,Sr)0, | -were increased lo $3,000. Chief JusHt>x ticc Pope is the only member of the V court that has so far benefitted by 1-' the increase, as he was re-eleeled since L the inercase and the otliers w^re elect* kii . ,ed befor.e that time. f 1 'The offier state officials should be 8 1 / raised corresportdingly; the stale treasurer rwho gives a bond of $00,000 1-*. receives $1,000 a year salary. Can fri the foremost lawyer in South Carolina at be. expected to become attorney gen- IN jb eral at the salary? T11 his last message to the general nsembly, submitted last January, if If' s just before he went out of office, Gov- yo l\\ ernor TTeyward called attention to J>v this matter of salaries and declared ^ i/ that the justices of the supreme court. and the governor, particularly nrc , \ underpaid. TTe urged that, increases lie made but nothing was done. Governor TTeyward, by the way, had op1 | posed I he decrease in the state levy 0 in order that the state might be put L,f 011 a cash basis, but the legislature reduced the levy from five and one-half to five mills and as a consequence the h i ute will again go into debt and there | ay iH't hf limiii'y to increase salaries ' :';iv iliin.'. I iinwvor, his roe- J Mtendalioi, is of interest i'n view of vernor Ansel's present position. With reference to the now mansion, :>vernor Ansel will recommend to o general assembly that .-a new iilding he erected on the present lot, liich is the highest point in Coluraa, an elegant location on entire ock on Arsenel hill. His idea is* at the rear of the new building mnld he on 'Laurel street, with ena nee on the other three streets, lehland, Gadsden and Lincoln. Gov- ? nor Ansel would oppose any change! the location of the mansion, I ( lonirh il has been suggested that it | _ iglit be moved to what is generally J town as the " fashinable section" jj Columbia, south of Oervias street, j The present mansion was not built f .1 a residence. but was a part of the ^ *1 arsenal academy, and \va> trans-;* fined into a residence years nun.
