Bar ?el"s message was read before the w

folows: *
To the Honorable, the Members of q
H the General Assembly of the State
of South Carolina: q
\ It becomes my duty, under the tl
G? (Constitution of the Slute, at this, Vl
the opening; session of your honor- (M
Sr able bodies for the year 1910, to give (,
to you such information as 1 have as R
to the condition of the various de- Pl
partments of the State and to sr.g- li
r gest and recommend such legislation jr
%as to me seems meet and proper. ii
I " The year 1909 has been one of (1
much prosjierity in all lines. Your
duty, therefore, as the makers of the s
law which is to govern this great ai
people, is more grave ami momen- ti
tons, and I beseech that you bring y\
to the discharge of these duties your
best thought and judgment. v<
State's Finances. p
During the present liscal year, it st
became necessary for the Governor, p
State Treasurer ami tlie I'nnmlmllov- -i
(ieneral to borrow t lie sum of live f,
hundred thousand dollars in antici- B
pat ion of the collection of taxes, to ei
pay off the interste on the State pi
debt, pension for the Confederate ?]
r- veterans, the other appropriations \V
made by you at the last session, and m
to pay the expenses of the State u
government for the year. We were
fortunate in being able to borrow c<
this money at three per rent through li
the Plninetto National Hank of the ni
eity of Columbia. The notes given sj
for this amount are now being paid lj
out of the taxes collected for the ?i
year. ai
in order to place the State on a (<
cash basis without borrowing each iv
year, 1 recommend that you levy an ti
extra one-half mill for the next few si
years, placing the same in the tt
hands of the Sinking Fund Com- ai
TYlIucion 4Ka lrtonojl 4 /? <1*** ?

until a sufficient amount lias been (]
thus raised, to do away with the 01
necessity of borrowing. ti
Sinking Fund. a
I wis!) to call your attention to ti
the report of the Sinking Fund Coinmission
which will be placed 011 your
desks during the session. The as- o:
sets, as shown by said report, are as p
follows: 11
Cumulative Sinking Fund (for re- p
demption and payment of South Car- p
olina Brown 4 1-2 per cent bonds), b
$700,208.58. S
Ordinary Sinking Fund. $70,208.47.
Sinking Fund for insurance of it
public buildings, $51,928.90. n
Several losses have been paid dur- cl
ing the post year from this last nam- si
od fund. The largest being the in- a
^ surance on the dormitory and school t!
building of the Colored Normal Col- tl
lege at Orangeburg, which was de- n
stroyed by fire in December of last
year, the amount puiii on this loss ci
being $1,670. to
The Sinking Fund Commission, in !
accordance with the power granted V
it by the last act of the General As- h
scinbly has contracted to lease the tl
old State dispensary building in the e
city of Columbia for a term of o
threw years, and the automatic d
sprinkling apparatus is now being
put in the building as authorized by ?
said Act. The rental price is $1,200 11
per annum, and eight per cent upon n
the amount expended on the im- '*
provements made. By making this d
! lease we save to the State the five b
dollars per day and night that we g
now have to pay for watchmen and fc
will receive twelve hundred dollars
per annum and eight per cent on the
amount of expenditures for the im- ?
^ Kyfenents put on the building. o
obedience to the last Act of s
you honorable bodies, we advertised (
the property for sale at the upset t
price you placeo upon it, but re- c
ceivcd no bids. We then mide the t
lease above mentioned. p
Education. t
Marked progress has l>een made d
during the present year in the edu- b
national institutions of the State, c
The increase in attendance in the y
common schools, as well as in the c
high schools and colleges, ia greater t
than in any year in our past history. I a
reference to the admirable report a
of the State Superintendent of Education
will verify the above assertion.
New and better school houses a
are being built, and many of the l
ecbool district a are taxing them- 3
I '
m\' * * \ '
slves, in addition to the ordinary
tiree mills tax, to run their schools
rom eight to nine months in the
ear. We have now 131 high schools
1 the State, and the good work they
re doing will, in my judgment, fully
ompensate for the appropriations
on have made for them. The ret
rictions you have made of an exeuditure
of not more than five per
ent of the appropriation to any one
ounty, 1 recommend be changed, so
liat the State Board of Education
lay use more than that amount in
county where it is needed, it" some
ther county does not qualify for the
nil amount it would otherwise be
ntitled to.
The appropriation made for the
ural schools last year has been of
reat benefit to many in the. Stale,
nd I respectfully recommend anther
and larger appropriation for
tie next scholastic year.
A bill will be introduced at this
sssiou of your honorable bodies
>oking toward a change in the presnt
law as to the examinations for
;holarships in the various State intitutions.
After consultation with
tie represent alive of said State intutions,
the bill which will be introueed
accords with their views of
tie changes which should be made,
nd I respectfully recommend that
tie said bilL be enacted into law.
Dispensary Law.
In obedience to the last Act of
tiis Oeneral Assmeblv, an election
as held 011 the third Tuesday in
.ugust lust in the twenty-one counies
that had county dispensaries at
ic date of such election.
The elections all passed off very
uietly and the people voted in ac[>rdance
with their views upon the
uestiou presented. Fifteen out of
le twenty-one counties refused to
ote the sale of liquors into said
unities. Six of the
> wit: Charleston. Georgetown,
eaufort, Aiken, Richland and Flornee.
voted in favor of the sale of
quor. and the county dispensaries
1 said six counties have been carryig
on their business as provided in
le " Carey-Cot h ran Act." and the
ct "To Prohibit tbe Manufacture,
ale. etc.. of Alcoholic Liquors, etc.,
nd to Provide Penalties for Violaoil
Thereof," approved 2nd of
larch. 1909.
The fifteen counties refusing to
r?te in the sale of liquor have disused.
or are disposing of their
oeks, as provided in the Act "to
rovide for the Closing of the Severl
Dispensaries in This State and
>r the Sale of All Stock of Liquors,
everages, Fixtures and Other Projirty
Belonging to the Several Disensaries,"
approved March 2, 1909.
ml the business of the dispensaries
ill soon be wound up under the
ipervision of the Dispensary Audiir.
As to the dispensaries in the six
unities which voted in the sale of
quor, 1 desire to renew my reconilendetion
made in my annual inesige
to the General Assembly in
1)08. to wit, "That not more than
ne county dispensary be allowed in
ny county where liquor is allowed
i be sold, except in those counties
here there are cities with a populu
*>.. cAtcciim^ iwenvv-iive tlioumd."
This is in the interest of
imperance. I firmly believe that if
not her election is held in those six
unities in the coming year most of
lem will vote the sale of liquor
lit. I ask your earnest considera011
of the question of providing for
nother election in these six counes
in the near future.
Winding-Up Commission.
Since the last session of your honrable
bodies, the litigation that was
ending in the United States Court
estraining the Commission from
roceeding with their work and apointing
receivers for the fund, has
een decided by the United States
upreme Court in favor of the State.
The Commission, since that decis>n,
has been busy in the performnce
of its duties and many of the
laims against the State have been
ettlcd. A few of the claimants havo
ppealed to the Supreme Court of
liis State from the adjudications of
lie Commission, and these cuses are
ow (lending in said court.
The Winding-up Commission is
[imposed of D\\ W. J. Murray, John
IcSween, Esq., Avery Patton, Esq.,
. S. Brice, Esq., and Capt. A. N.
food. I wish to recommend in the
ighest terms the fidelity to duty on
lie part of these gentlemen and to
xpress my sinceer thanks to each
f them for the work they have
one as members of said commission.
They have up to this time turned
ver to the State Treasurer for the
ae of the permanent school fund,
s required by law, the sum of two
undred and seventy-five thousand
tdlnrs. and more will, in all probalility,
be turned over after the litiation
about the claims now in out
Itate Supreme Court is ended.
Supreme Court Building.
I wish now to recommend that a
lupreme Court Building be erected
>n the State House grounds, on Asembly
street side, but facing thf
'nilitol a nnflt tint
birty thousand dollars. This monev
ould be borrowed by the Stute from
he Sinking Fund Commission and
aid back by an annual appropriaion
of from Ave to six thousand
lollars until the same is repaid. I
telieve this to be feasible, and t
ommision could be api>ointed b\
ovrr honorable bodies consisting ol
me of the justices of said court and
wo or three of the State officers t<
orange the plans and superintend th<
ions truct ion of said building. * * '
State Hospital For the Insane.
At the last session of your honor
ible bodies, you appointed a com
nittoe to investigate and report b
rou the conditions and needs of thii
nstitutiou, and, as aaid committee'i
report will be on your desks very
, soon, I shall content myself with
giving the following data:
There weer on the first day of
January, 1910, 1528 patients within
its walls: White men, 375; colored
men. 322; white women, 511; colored
women, 320.
There were admitted during the
year (>05. Theer were 287 discharged
and 25(5 died during the year.
Penitentiary.
This institution, under the care
and direction of the Superintendent
and Directors, has kept up its good
reputation and has had a year of
good results.
There were on the first of January,
1910, 893 prisoners in the penitentiary,
as follows: White males,
170; eolored males, 661; white females,
3; colored females, 59. They
are located as loilows: tin county
chain-gangs, 69; on State farms,
185; at Lexington County Reformatory,
90; at Clemson College. 55;
Penitentiary yard and hospital. 516;
total. 895.
Railroads.
The passenger rates on railroads in
this State, that were put in operation
by the railroads on the first of
April, 1908, are still in existence and
the charges for passenger transportation
are the same. 1 am still of
the opinion that more authority
should he given to the Railroad Commission
of the State, to require the
railroads to comply with all reasonable
rules and regulations made Insaid
Commission.
The Commission, in their report,
make certain recommendations which
1 respectfully ask you to consider.
State Board of Health.
Our people are becoming more inteersted
each year in the health
question and in the duty of the State
to prevent the spread of all epidemics
and contagious diseases.
National Guard.
1 desire to reiterate here what I
said in my last annual message, to
wit, that; "The citizen soldiery is
a very important arm of the State
Government and should be sustained
and encouraged by all lovers of peace
and order.*' Whenever called upon
to render any srevice for the
State, they have responded with
promptness and dichargcd their du
ties with fidelity. ! recommend a
liberal appropriation for its maintenance.
Salaries.
In my annual message to the Gen)
eral Assembly in I used these
words, ''Some years ago, when the
purchasing value of a dollar was
more than it is at this time, the salaries
of our State officers and judges
of the supreme court and circuit
courts were reduced. 1 desire to ask
if the time has not come when these
salaries thould be raised again and
your ollieers paid a salary commensurate
with the work they are required
to do?" I desire to again
bring this matter to your attention
and to ask its serious consideration.
Our State is prosperous and the work
of each of the oflicers is increasing.
The increase in salary would not
bentit any oflicer now serving his
present term, but I feel it is due to
those who come after us.
Department of Agriculture, Etc.
Much good work has been done by
this department in stimulating the
fanners nf tlm Suu (/>
? .... ....... n. iiupiuic tneir
methods ot" farming and by giving
them information that will he lielpful.
At the last session of the General
Assembly an Aet was passed
making it the duty of this department
to see that the provisions of
the factory inspection law and the
child labor laws he obsrcved and enforced.
Insurance Department.
The work of this department has
been carried on with great zeal and
fidelity. When we consider the
great volume of business done in
both life and fire insurance in this
State, the wisdom of establishing
this department is demonstrated.
Confederate Veterans.
Tt is hardly necessary that I
bring to your attention our duty, in
a substantial way, to help the poor
and needy Confederate veterans.
This duty I a:n sure is appreciated
and felt hv eve ry one of you.
South Carolinians will never forget
the valor and heroism of these
true and tried old soldiers. I recommend
a liberal appropriation for
pensions for these grand old men.
The Soldiers' Home, established
by you in Columbia, has been inj
operation for the past year, and there,
are now sevnty-seveu inmates there-)
in. It is well managed and I hope)
that each of you will visit the home;
and see what is being done for thesel
helpless and otherwise homeless oldl
souners. {
Monument to the Women of South
Carolina.
In obedience to the provisions of\
. the Act passed at the last session of.
the General Assembly, entitled "An!
Act to Provide for a Monument to'
L the Heroism, Fidelity and Fortitude
I of the Women of South Carolina
during the War Between the Con,
federate States and the I'nited
I States," approved March 3, 11)09, I
, appointed as the commission therein
provj^led for Gen. (\ Irvine
I Walke/v>f Charleston; Col. Thomas
J. Moo of Spartanburg county;
I Capt. C. A. Reed, of Anderson; Capt.
W. E. Gonzales, of Columbia, and
1 Major John G. Richards, of Kershaw
r county. These gentlemen went imr
mediately to work and in u coinparI
atively short time received contribu)
tions in cash amounting to about
, eleven thousand dollars, thereby
complying with the terms of the Act,
and a contract has been entered into
between them and Mr. F. W.
Rnckstuhl for the sculpturing and
erection of the monument aforesaid.
' He is now engaged in making this
i monument and the hope of the com
mission is that it may be completed |U
during the present year.
In an Act providing l'or the appointment
of the commission, there
was no provision made for the payment
of the actual expenses of the
commission while in discharge of ar
their duties. 1. therefore, recom- ^
mend that some provision be made ^
to pay the actual expenses incurred
by these gentleman while attending
to the duties of the commission. .
Reports of State Officers, Etc.
The rejMM'ts of all the State officers j|
and departments will be given to
you during the eariy days of the
early days of the session, showing .jj(
the work of each during the past fiscal
year. I commend these reports
to your careful consideration. I j^(
ask that you study them and make
yourselves familiar with all the
business of the State. These gentlemen
have all been faithful to the
trusts committed to their charge.
