The bold, but carefully planned operation^ Oi this department have brought about tlu1 handing down of a decision in Washington that clearly defines the powers of the State and puts us and our sister States?in n position to move intelligently fof that select ed immigration that not only our own people and the people of the South, .5!'! which the people of the entile country, have been demanding in vain since the hordes of undesirables pour ing into our great ports of entry be gan to create what we have all recou nted as a problem. ''It had been alleged that the de partment would be used by the finan cially stronger class oi' our citizens to the injury of our weaker class. During the year it became absolutely necessary in older to keep in opera tion many of our manufacturing plants, to secure additional labor to Operate idle machinery. The condi tion was such that unless some re lief could be obtained, the owners of the properties would suffer, and. in tir, ie. the operatives would suffer also. Even facing these conditions, no move Vtos made to give the needed aid until tjhe assurance had been tiled that all efforts to -r cure t lie necessary labor had been made with no prospect of resiiK, in this and adjoining States, or in other portions of the I'uited Stn < ?'<. -Viy'K.Nlta conservatism in ail mat ters relating to this undertaking has milked, and is marking the course of your department.

J do not consider ii J tlCCCssai'.V to JfpCrit II h|H|(.'ltl(nl t.'i |tho conditions lliuf render white im | migration so vital to tin; development |of our .State, upon agricultural, com mercial and industrial lines: I do wish, however, |o direct your Allen lion especially to the maguiliccnt op portunity thai awaits us as an agri i cultural. a cotton producing and a , inanitlactm ing State, in the success I fill establishment and maintenance til a permanent trans-Atlantic freight I ami passenger Inie between the Paei j 'ice trans-shipping ports of Europe jaml our own leading seaport at Char | lesion, with its harhor unmatched for [accessibility and its distributive qual i it ies by any port on the eastern shores of the North Auiercan con ; i incut. "In the maintenance of such a ?line, we have already secured the ae j life, personal support of Director I \ on I 'i 1 is. of one of the greatest, steamship corporation* in the world, .and I have reason to know that lie i is a loyal friend of (he South and I of Southern commercial development. What the establishment of this line I means to us is a little difficult yet j lor any of us to understand. When I te|| you that nearly $01,000,000 j worth of Southern cotton alone goes j into the foreign port where we are j establishing a connection; that nearly j $'2,0(10,0(1(1 worth of our cotton seed j meal reaches that same port, and I that il is within <?tir power to direct ! far more of these products through tlhis port to their consignors; and | when I add that on the shipment of j these, ami many other of our pro 1 ducts, through llie port of Charles j ton. it is in our power to save many thousands of dollars to shippers arid | producers of these articles by reason jof the proposed line- ?you may realize ; what this undertaking means, not alone to the people in general, but t.> I the cotton farmer direct*. j ''It is a source of pride to me that ?the conservation and care which lias i charaderized the course of the dc par!incut in this State has been such , as to already lead to concerted niove I ments in our sister States of the I South for the adoption, at once, of the South Carolina act. "In view of the recent decision of j Secretary Strauss, of the Cnited States Department of Commerce and j Labor, it is vitally important that no , material change should be made in j the act creating our department. There^ is but one change I would sug gest, and alter careful thought, con sideration and investigation. 1 deem j that a very necessary one. Section 11 of the act prevents the commissioner from taking any steps to induce sonic of the desirable people of Europe? people best adapted to our own con ditions?most notably the North Ital ian and Greek fanner?two of the most law-abiding and thriftiest im miirrants that copie to America. 1 tiKnnot too strongly urge the elimina tion of this action from the act, leav ing the class of people to be brought to the judgment of the commissioner. 1' For the proper support of this do j partment. a minimum appropriation of not less than $25,000 will be ab j solutcly necessary. Dispensary. I Concerning the dispensarv, tho 11? iliovernor says: j "The tact thai a large number ol" counties in the State* have voted out local dispensaries; the work of the investigating committee, and the these consideration;, in connection with the fact that iho |M!ople of the State have recently expressed in no uncertain terms their disapproval of j the present operation of the dispen sary law, all demand imperatively | I hat. something should be done to correct existing evils. The people will not stand tor anything in which they believe graft exsts in any form, and a serious trouble with the dis pensary law is that it all'ords too great opportunity for wrong-doing and too little opportunity for detec t ion. "I have referred to my fomer .?ecommendations upon (his subject, and with your permission; I shall quote from my inesage to the (}en eral Assembly of 1000, as follows: " 'It is imparative for the honor of j the State, that existing conditions should be immediately remedied, either by radical changes in thel aws governing the dispensary or by the adoption of a different system for lite lemulation of the liquor question.' "I am convinced more than ever that this recommendation applies now with even greater force than it did l.isl year. This will be the most ini | ortant question presented for von: Gingers' Report. \Vaj-bin>rton, Special.?The Census Hurcau nmioupcod the ginners' rc I orts Wednesday showing 11,750,* 1 $44 bales of cotton ginned from the growth of 1006 to January 1, 1907, compared with 0,725,426 to corres j landing date during last year.

"Tii view of 11?*> fjri'fti importance of tips qu?Htion to mI) the people of our Scute; its heairiqg upon our repu tation abroad and upon our integrity 115 a people, 1 mu#t a^ain, in em phasizing my position. urge tbnt you lake sueH action in the matter as the gra\e ueeeAftiiieft of the situation demand. Many of yvu have hee.i elected upon this i#aue by the people, and thi* increases, in large measure, your individual responsibility. "The situation demand* your eare ful thought, wise and judicous a< lion, and I believe it will he thus con sidered,"free from prejudice, with the views of all concerned, hut nlco for what are the highest interests of th: State. Lawlessness and Lynching#. "I am ashamed to have to repm! to you that, in spite id' all efforts to the contrary, the crime of lynching has been committed more than one in our State during1 tlic past year. "It can ho stated here, with abso lute truthfulness, that it is not th" color of the offender, hut the nature of the crime, that makes lynching-: occur. "Recently iln> Legislature of Vir ginia enacted a law milking an at tempt at rape a capital offense, and providing also that the testimony of the victim could be taken in private and not before the public in a court room. I am informed by State of ficials of Virginia that this law i working satisfactorily. I think tlii a very important consideration, and I recommend the passage of such a law for our State. State Hosptal For the Insane. "To-dav our State Hospital has accommodation^ for 1.000 patients, but during the past year nearly 40(i patients in excess of its capacity have been crowded within the buildings. 1 he total admission for the past venr numbered ">71. this being the largest number in the history of the institu t ion. "Jn considering the future welfare of our insane. I am convinced that it would be a wise policy on the part ot the State to consider the proposi tion by the regents to purchase ad ditional land h short distance from the city lor the double purpose of a colony for chronic insane and also for I arming lands tor the support of the hospital. The properly at present owned is being gradually occupied by the groups of buildings necessary for the more acute e:<ses, and the pro posed addition would be valuable tioin every standpoint." For the Jamestown Kxposition $112 000 more is asked as the $20,000 ap propriated last year precludes a State building. The South Carolina Penitentiary. '1 lie affairs of this institution show no marked changes in any respect. The number of convicts is about the same as last year and the manage ment is excellent to the last detail. It is, J believe, one of the lew pub lic institutions ol its kind which is self-supporting. Jn addition to this, permanent improvements are steadily made, and among these we may note, with much satisfaction, the comple tion of the new hospital for consump tives. This building is erected with modern improvement and is a com fortable and well appointed hospi tal for the suffering convicts who need special care and attention. The State -jf.MmK are each year brought to a higher state of cultiva tion, and, despite an unfortunate crop year and a disastrous storm, destroying 100 hales of cotton and ?'00 tons of hay, the report of Su perintendent (iritfilh will again show a good profit for the Slate. These tarms are, therefore, not only profit able to the State, but are invaluable, lor the reason that they furnish out door work for such convicts as can not perform other service. Hampton Monument. . 1 wo years ago the general assem bly of South Carolina passed an act appropriating a sum for the purpose 01 erecting a monument to our be loved soldier, patriot and statesman, Wade Hampton. The commission to whom was entrusted this important duty have completed their esponsible task, not only with the greatest cred it to themselves, but to the entire satisfaction ol the people who lov ed our greatest leader and whose de sire is to fitly honor his memory. The statue, as a work of art, has few su periors. and the entire work, in its finished .perfection, is u stately mem orial. not only to our distinguished son, but as a tribute to those whose love has so hallowed tlic name and the tame it will jorever commem orate. Annual Confederate Reunion. It iv evidently a manifest desire among t lio Confederate veterans ?>1 South Carolina to liavo a ami permanent place nt which aii nual reunions shall ho. held, Colum bia, oil account of its central loca tion and its excellent railroad facil ities, has hcen suggested as the prwp cr place of meeting for those annual reunions. There is every reason why Pensylvania Railroad. Pittsburg, Special.?Word has been i received from the Pennsylvania sys tern's headquarters iu Philadelphia that Joseph Wood was appointed first vice president of the Pennsyl vania lines, west of Pittsburg, suc ceeding James McCrea. J. J. Turner j was appointed second vice president, ] succeeding Turner and Samuel F. j MeCabe, fourth Vice president, pro | moted from frtifbt traffic man agar. the \> ishes of I In' old vclcruns should In1 respected, and I believe it only rife'lit iiinl proper tliai tin* State should make an appropriation tor this purpose. In accordance, therefore with their wishes aiul also because I ; strongly t a\ ??%? the idea, I have the honor l?> suggest i lie appropriation of *.'>.001 > hi* imnli', in onb-i iliul there may be no iinreit aiht\ a? lo (he coi) . vcuiencc, cotillon and lull enjoy ment of (lu> annual reunions and communion of our old veterans.

J No special comment from me is i necessary regarding the work of our j Slate hank examiner.

Salaries of State Officers. W ith the conliniial growth of our Stale it will he absolutely lieeessar/ thai larger appropriations should be made for the conduct of lis public affairs, and especially is this true in reference to the salaries paid to our State officers. \\ ilhouf exception these salaries are totally inadequate lor the services rendered and are in no sense in keeping with the respon sibilities devolving upon t he incum bents. In no departineui of our gov* ernnienf arc salaries paid at all com mensurate, either with*'I he services rendered, nor in keeping with the dig nity and demands of the offices fill ed.

I he demands made upon ' tho lime and ability of public servants aie ceaseless almost, tlicy are expect ed to be only ft little short of perfec tion. they must be equal at all times to all demands made upon them, but the compensation for all of this is not near so much as the same men v.ouhl. receive in almost auv business i oceupal ion. Conclusion. In concluding his message the gov ernor closes as follows: j f have us briefly as 1 thought the ! circumstances permitted, submitted to you the various matters which it is your duly and your province to , consider.

In conclusion, I have only little more to say. but Ihis will hold for me more than 1 can ever hope to ade quately express. As governor of my native State.
