As to the immigration the messag* i eoys .in pwt: During the past -eix months your ! department of agricibture, commerce and Immigration?though established less than three veauy ago?has under- j taken fiibo execution <uf carefully prepared plans and lay; worked with 1 such \vigor. energy &i.?l success to cc complish the desired* ends, that it ! lias Slteeeedoil in rtinnnn tlw. ? .4. vwiiuauiuiil^ I UV ill- t ration asot only of ti.is oountrv, bvrt ' the .Attention of the ??ountries of Ku--> ixipe also. This hm placed South , Carolina once more an the forefront ts a pioneer loader an movements affecting the welfare of the nation. Tha bold, but carefully planned operat ion* of tli? department have brought aln?ut the handing d<r?*n of a decision in Washington that dearly defines the potivrs of the State and puts us?(. and our sister States?in a position < to moive intelligently 5i>r that select- j ed Tcraitgrntion that orr only.our own people and the peopk <of tlie South.; l?ut wltdvh the people ?of the entire j country, hnve been de>M..nding in vniii I sir.ee tin' hordes of undesirables pouring iatr*? our great poros of entry be- j gan to weate what we ksve all re cog- ! nized as ? problem. "It had boon alleged <hat the de- j pa it me at would be used W the financially str<*nger class of ?nr citizens , to the. injury of our weaker class. During the year it became absolutely necessary in order to keep in opera- | tion many of our mane fact tiring plants, to oscure additional labor to operate idle machinery. T1k' condi- ] tion was sucJi that unless wime re- 1 1 ? - /? ? ? - uei couui l?r obtained, the owners of t the properties would suffer, and, in j time, tlie operatives would suffer also. Even facing tlit-.se conditions, 110 rnove was made to gjre the needed aid un^il the assurance had been filed that all efforts to secure the necessary lalior had been made with no prosjieel of result, in this and adjoining States, or in other portions of the United States. "Extra conservatism in all matters relating to this undertaking lias marked, and is marking the course of your department. The semblance of lack of support in this critical stage, when the department has ttie conlldence of the best influences it. Europe, would almost certainly jeopardize the sueeesM of ?t.? inp and possibly lose for us the opportunity now open. Once allowed to pass, this opportunity will be probably beyond our power to repain in a haif century. A Great Opportunity.

Concerning the dispensary, the Governor says: "The fact that a largw number of oonnties in the State have voted out local dispensaries; the work of I the investigating committee. and the these considerations, in connection j with the fact that the people of the State have recently expressed in no uncertain forms their disapproval of tlie present operation of the dispensary law, all demand imperatively I hat something should be done to correct existing evils. The people will not stand for anything in which i they believe graft exsts in any form, i ami a serious trouble with the dispensary law is that it affords too preat opportunity for wronp-doinp and too little opjiortunity for detee- \ tion. "I have referred to my fomer , recommendations upon this subject, , and with your permission, I shall j quote from my mesape to the Gen ernl Assembly of 1900, as follows: !( " 'It is impaiT.tive for the honor cf 1 the State, that existing conditions I should be immediately remedied, | either by radical changes in thel ows i povcrninp the dispensary or by the ! 1 adoption cf a different system for the l regulation of the liquor question.' i ' J am convinced more than ever i that this recommendation applies now 1 with even preater force than it did i last year. This will be the most im- < porlr.i.t question prercr.ted for your , i consideration, and it must b? square- 1 ly met. 1 "In viev? of the great importance of this question to all the people of i our State; its bearing: upon our reputation abroad and upon our integrity as a people, I must again, in em- i phasizing my position, urge that you !, take such action in the matter as the grave necessities of the situation demand. Manv of you have been elected upon this issue by the people, and this increases, in large measure, your individual responsibility.

In addition to this, permanent improvements at? steadily made, and anions; these we may note, with much satisfaction, the completion *f the new hospital l'or tonsurrptives. This building is erected with ' modem improvement and is a comfortable and well appointed hospi- i tr.l for the suffering convicts who i need social care and attention.

Tht.se 1 farms are, therefore, not only profit- ' able to the State, hut are invaluable, for the reason that they furnish outdoor vr.uk for such convicts as cannot j.eiToi'm other service. Haxup'-cn Monument. Two years ago the general r.ssctr.- ' bly of South Carolina pas so I an net appropriating a sum for the purpose ; ot erecting a monument to our he- ' loved soldier, patriot ami statesman, Wade Hampton. The commission to i whom was entrusted this important duty have completed their esponsiblc ' task, not only with the greatest cred- ' it to themselves, hut to the entire ' satisfaction of the people who lov- ' e<l our greatest leader and whose de- 1 sire is to fitly honor his memory. The ' siaiuc, as a work of art, has lew *u- ; jwriors, and the entire work, in its 1 finished perfection, is u stately ir.ein- 1 crial, not only to our distinguished ' eon, but as a tribute to those whose love has so hallowed the name and the fame it will forever commcm- . orate. i V Annual Confederate Reunion. 11 It is evidently a manifest desire 1 iinoir* the Confederate veterans of i South Carolina to have a lined end * permanent plaec at which their annuel reunions shall bo held. Colum- < tin. on account of its centra! loca- ? tion and its excellent railroad facil- \ ities, has been snjrgested as the prop- 1 ?r place of meeting for those annual , t reunions. There is every reason why | hu*j, utm x ucucve 11 win oe iuus considered, free from prejudice, with the ; views of all concerned, but also for | what are the highest interests of thi State. Lawlessness and Lynching*. "I wn ashamed to have to report ! to you that, in spite of all efforts to j the contrary, the crime of lynching j has been consicnitted more than once in our State during1 the past year. "It. can be stated here, with abso- i lute truthfulness, that it is not the | eolor of the offender, but the nature d the crisac, that mates lynching ucrur. "Recently the Legislature of Virginia enacted a law ranking an atTvmpt at rape a capital offense, and ; providing also that the testimony of I the victrm could lv Taken in private j ;ui<i run DCiore the public ir* a court room. I am informed by Statv of| fleinls ?of Virginia. that this law is ' workii;* satisfactory. T think this i I a very important consideration. and 1 rceonrmend the pnssa^v of sitei. a law for war State.

The property rat present owned is hcin * trend unllv ** :he wishes of the old veterans should respected, and I believe it only right and proper that the State should make an appropriation for this purpose. In accordance, therefore, with their wishes and also because 1 strongly favor the idea, I have the honor to suggest the appropriation of $5,000 be made, in order that there may be no uncertainty as to the convenience, comfort and full enjoyment of the annual reunions and communion of our old veterans. Compulsory Education. It has been a disannointmcnt to mo that we have not yet passed a law in reference to compulsory education. There is no reason why this should not be done; there is every reason why it should he done, and such a law will he passed sooner or later by I our general assembly. Some Important Matters. I can only mention, xr.ost briefly also, the work which has been dona for the protection of our fish and oyster interests and ask that you continue to give this the business attention it so much requires. The drainage of our iwamp lands should not be overlooked. This, for reasons of health as well as from tliw moru material aspect of the financial sice of the question involved, is a matter of great importance to those whose interests it concerns.

With the eouttrual growth of our State it will be absolutely rrpeessnry that Jsirgcr appropriations should be made for the conduct of iis public affairs, and espeei*3Iy is thk true iti re f ere we t <? the salaries paid to our State officers. Without exception these fellatios are totally inadequate for the services resdered and are in no sens? in keening wi'h the responsibilities devolving citton the inonm bents. In no department of our :rovernment are salaries paid at all eomEcensuratT. either with *t!ie services rendered, nor in keeping with the dignity and demands of the ofliees tilled. Our justices of the supreme court, circuit juderes, eolieitors and nil State officers receive such compensation for their services as is a serious reflection upon their own State. The demands made upon the time and ability of public servants are ceaseless almost, they arc expected to be only a little short of perfection. they must he erjual at all times to all demands made upon litem, but the compensation l'or **.11 of this i> j not near so much as the same men would icceive in almost any business occupation. Conclusion. Tn eonc!p(ii:i'c his lr.c.vaye the governor closes as follows: I have as biiefly as I thought the c i rcums t a nee s pe nr. {t ed, su I iw i 11 ed to you the various matters which it is your duty and your province to consider.

I ullflll _ wnn commence and hope and trust your deliberations, knowing that in your care and keeping, and with those who are to succeed nie, that the affairs of our State !ire in safe, alile and conscientious hands. In conclusion, I have only little more to say, tint this will hold for me more than I can ever hope to adequately express. As governor of my native State, I have recjved the ugliest honors which my jeople can j jestow. In deep, grateful and lastng appreciation of this honor, I diull always recall, not only the disinetion and privileges which this lonor conferred, but the manner of ts bestowal will always he among ry most eheri-hed recollect ions.
