I'c' 11;all el (onilnt dislensarv be
allowed in a: v cty"011" Vlire liquor is
allowed to be sold. except in those
counties where there are cities with a
population exceeding 25.000. Elee
tiotns have be?n held in three of th-e
counties of the state to vote out the
sale of liciuor si:iee the Carey-Cotli
ran law was cnacted. In two of these
counti a--Kershaw and Chesterfield
it appeared .that. a majority of the
votes cast. were in favor of 'no sale.'
In Kershaw the electit;n was declar

matter of the le,ality of the election
is now pending in the courts. but th".

in thi l ountv. Owing to this condi

m2ii2ht :ive. I r.coimfflencd that the
said act be further ame:1ded by pro

in any C(OltV under the act. and it h

voters ea=t iheir ballots to prohibit
the sale in said county. that the dis
p?nsaries be immediately closed and
kept elos.d until the matter is finally
determined by the county board of
canvassers. the state board of can
vassers. or by the courts., if resort
be had to the courts.
Registration Books.
- In many of the counties the books
are worn and old. and I recommend
that you provide by act for new books,
and that the commissioners of regis
tration be required to revise the lists
of names and transcribe to new books
the names of all who are alive and en
titled to v'ote. The law now provides
that the list shall* be revised each
election year. and it also prescribes
that the boards of registration sh.afl
receive an annual salary for the~ work
that the law requires them to do.
Education.
The hig'h school act which you pass
ed last year has been put in success
ful operation and we now have 58
nigh schools in the state, none with
less than two teachers and 25 schoL
ars, and most of them with three and
four teachers and with 50 or more
scholars.
Governor Ansel takes up each of
the state institutions and reviews tire
work *a.-e during the past year an.
the <rrat ifyi ng progress of each of
the:se institutions.
State House Grounds.
Governor Ansel reviews the work
of the commission on state house
grou:nds, and says that the work being
done is of a permanent nature, and
"when completed our state house
grounda will be a source of. pride to
b.oth city and state."
tStatue of Jno. C. Calhou.
'Governor Ansel reports that the
commissiori appointed to provide a
statue of Jno. C. Calhoun and to have
~same placed in the statuary bail in the
capitol at Washington have contraet
ad to. do the work and it is hoped
-that will be. completed during the
present year. The price is $9,600.
-Supreme Court.
Goveriapr Ansel recommends th3
.ereetion of a new and commodious
brick building.on the state house
*grounds near the coi-ner of Assembly
and Senate streets for the supreme
teourt.
Cpnfe4lerate Veterans.
G1ovrnor Ansel recomamads a lib
eral appropriation for Confederate
veterans.
Governor Ansel commends the effie
ieney of the militia, and recommends
a liberal appropriation for the Stat-e
Hospitasl for the Insane. The num
ber of patients added this year in the
State Hosnital for the Insane is 570;
the whole imber within its walls is
1,375; white men, 321; colored man,
290; white women, 471; colored wo
men, 293.
Penitentiary.
Governor Ansel says th'e peniten
tiary eontinues self-sustaining. The
whole number of convict now with
in the walls and at the state farms
is 653. The state farms and the farm
at the reformatory have all paid well,
and all the vegetales needed have
been grown. Threre are 80 convicts
un.der the age of 16 years at the re
formatory on the Lexington county
farm. A new brick building has been
erected for the safe keeping of these
boys, and also to make the building
fireproof. They are well cared for,
are made to work, and are also

of material. Recently the board of
rust ees has had a meetinz and has
pa'ned a resolution asking your hon
t;r:bile lhlies to give the trustees' an
approrliation smifleient to begin this
wrlk on a comparat'velV small scale.
To provide at first for the care and
maintenance of from 20 to 40 chil
t'ren. as we desire to demonstrate to
t'l pleole'i the value and importance
or this work. A deed h'as been mad2
to the trustees for 111 acres of fin'p
lands just outside of the corporate li
mi s of ,he city of Florence by th'e
Atlantic Land and Improvement
c,mi)any1 for this industrial schooi.

whom are now waitin, to be admitted.
Salaries.
Some years ago when the purchas
in value of a dolar was more than
it is at this time, the salaries of the
state officers and of the judges of the
supreme and circuit courts were re
duced. I desire to ask if the time
has not come when these salaries
should be raised again and your of
ficers paid a salary commensurate
with the work thcy are required to
do? I have no hesitancy in saying
that the salaries of all should b'e rais
ed to at least what they formerly
were. My accounts will show that it
costs me more than $1,000 a year over
aad above my salary to pay the ex
penses of living and of providing for
such entertainlments and receptions as
are necessary to the dignity of the
position of th governor of this state.
Governor's Mansion.
The present mansion was erected
more than 50 years ago, and has serv
ed the purposes for whisch it was
built. :Since 1880, it has been used as
a home for the governor. While it is
comfortable. yet it is deteriorating
and will soon require many repairs.
The lot on which this. building stands
is one of the best in the city of Co
lumbia. A new mansion built in the
centre of the lot, fronting on Rich
land street with side entrances from
Gadsden and Lincoln streetis, would
be an ornament to the capital city of
the state. and an ideal home for your
governor. I recommend that a com
mission be appointed to look into the
mat ter and report to the next session
of the general assemblAy the probable
cost and the feasibility of erecting
same.
Railroads.
While other states have had mueh
litigation with reference to- railroad
passenger rates during the past
year, -South Carolina has been free
frem this character of litigation, and
I am glad to reipor't to you that in a
conference had with the president and
other repre'sentatives of the Southern
railway, they stated to me that on or
about t.he first of April, 1908, they
will put on a flat passenger rate of
2 1-3 cent per mile, andi will sell mile
are books at 2 and 2 1-4 cents per
mile in this state. I have a letter to
this effect from President Finley, a
copy of which I will place in your
hands, with a special mesage on the
suject, getting forth their whole
Some requirements should be made
of the railroads-that they give more
accurate information as to delayed
trains, and as soon as practicable
better eq.uipm'ent and ~service on all
the roads should be deman'ded.
The Commission for Winding Up the
Sta.te Dispensary.
A's required by the act of the gen
eral assembly passed at your last ses
sion providing for the winding up of
the state dispensary, I appointed five
'well known businress men,'' to wit,
Dr. W. J. Murray of 'Columbia, and
Messrs. John MeSween of Timmons
ville. C. 'K. Hend'erson of Aiken,
Avery Patton of Greenville and B. F.
Arthur of Union as members of the
commission. These gentlemen im
mediately entered upon the important
and arduous duties involved, in this
work. and it will be my pleasure to
submit to you, at the present 'session,
their report. I shall at that time
have something more to say about the
work of the commission.
