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

and our sister States?in a position <

Dispensary.
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.

thought, vrise and judieous aci^i!

Tie South Carolina Pmitentiary. '
The affairs of this institution show >
no marked changes in any respect, i
Ti? number of convicts is about tlio
some as last year and tmanagement
is excellent to the list detail.
It as, I believe, one of the lew publie
institutions ?f its kind which i*

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.

farms are, therefore, not only profit- '
able to the State, hut are invaluable,
for the reason that they furnish outdoor

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

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

: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.

Salaries of State Officers.

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

State officers. Without exception
these fellatios are totally inadequate
for the services resdered and are in

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

in all you do, for upon t!:osf? depend
our future safety, our future
greatness.
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.
With a fervent hope that the highest
hie-vin^s of an all-wise I'rovilenec

1 commend to yen the responsibilities

The report of Director North of tha
j Census Durcav. in regard to the finances
of cities of li.000 inhabitants and
over sane: ,
"The importance of municipal statmay
tie noted from the following
facts; The indebtedness, less*
sinking fun-J assets, of tho IIS eitfcm
containing over 30,000 Inhabitants in.
1903 was ll.10C.821.C31 and of tile 151
cities in 1901 wits Sl,222S,2IG,933. TK<v
indebtedness of tuc cities of the la?*
tor group inrrcauoi during the year
1901 by $110.0S3.797. The indebtedness
cf clticj containing 3,000 fa SJ".000
inhabitants in 1303 was $L72,7iS,21S.
and tho last rtati-tirs c axplluci7
recorded an annual in: rcaso of 120,.

CI. Tho foregoing, combined
with other facts relating to tho increase
of municipal debt, makes it
certain that the present dobt of citlea

b.uui" inhabitants l-s In excess of 11
600,000,000, or rrenter than that of
the combined debt of the national ani
State government!; and of the count'.cr,
school d'stricta and. ether minor
civil divisions.
"The payments and receipts of
those Cities having a population cf
8.000 and over wore greater than
those of tho United States Government
In 1902. but somewhat less than
those of that government in its
last fiscal year. They also exceed
the payments ar.d receipts of all Statu
arid local governments.
"In 1900, ha per cent, of the rcor'o
of the Unlto.l State.* resi led in
Cities having a population of 8.0'x?
and over, nnd in a few decades over
one-half of the people will reside In
those cities. Tho problem of selfgovernment
Is there-fare becoming one

statistics Is cf such vital importance

"I am 86 year* old and hare had

As the whip stimulates but does

act upon the human system.
Feeiin* this way, I gave up coffee
and all other stimulants and began
the use of Postura Food coffee so:ne
months ago. The beneficial results
tiave been apparent from the flr3t.
