FIRST MESSAGE Of Gov. Martin F. Ansel to the State Legislature. STATK DISPENSARY Should be Abolished In Obedience to the Will of the People, He Save. Die* cusses a Number of Other Questions of Interest to the People. Governor Ansel's inaugural address 10 the General Assembly last week was as follows: Gentleman nf fch? r.?>iAr?l Au??mVii? - ? vr? w*?v VltVAWI UOwlVlU Wi J and My Follow Citizens: In obedience to the wljl of tho people of thl state, as expressed at the ballot box, 1 am here to-day to take the solemn oath of otlloe as governor of South Carolina, and to assume the duties of this high and responsible position. 1 am deeply grateful to the people for this manifestation of their oonh denoe, and when 1 survey the vast responsibilities and duties conneoted with the same, 1 realize deeply my Inability to fully meet them. Feeing however, that I shall have your full cp operation and support, and relying upon your holp at all times, 1 assume these duties and responsibilities, promising to give to them my best judgment and talents, and all tho powers with which the great God has endowed me. And. Gentlemen of the General Ah sembly, while the responsibilities *.? sumed by me are great, yoh the aama will of the people has called you to the performance of dulies equally Important. To my mind, tuere U no greater h,nor that oan be bestowed upon a citizen than that of being a 1 'law maker " It has been wisely provided In our constitution that the government snail be divided Into three departments: Legislative, Executive and Judielal. To you Is committed the sacred power of making the laws under whioh all the people shall live and by whioh they shall be governed. How great then Is your function and how oareful should you be in enacting wise laws, beneficial alike to all our oltizensl Our Industrial development has been commensurate with the progress of the age, and our educational Interests have not lagged behind, yet there are great things to b* dene end great responsibilities to be met In the various duties that we owe to our state. Let us all. therefore, with oourage and confidence, be true to our oaths of office and strive for all those things that will elevate and educate our citizenship and give that peaoc and prosnerltv to our np.onln th?t t,h? ? -- ? -? ? - r vu titled to at our bands. The annual message of Governor Hey ward made to you at this session of the legislature, gives you full information of the condition of all our publlo affairs, and I desire to congratulate him and the State on the general measure of prosperity that has come to the State during his wise administration. I feel it is my duty at this time and in this presence to oall to your attention certain legislation whloh I tulnk needful to be enacted at the present session of the Legislature (t was my privilege, during the past summer, when ^nk'ntr the campaign U i the honorable (til ja wnloh I this day aieume, to discuss before the people certain measures, which 1 now de Jre to call to your attention. EDUCATION. Our state constitution requires that we shall "provide a liberal system of free publlo schools for all children be tween the ages of six and twentyone." When we consider the great po*er and intluenoe of an educated people and that the strength and prosperity of a state depend ultimate ly upo.? the intelligence of the aver age eltlzen, we oan realize the mind of the framers of this organls law. It therefore, behooves us to enaot such laws as will fully carry out this ? l.|nn II. -- wiov yiu igiuu ui tug b??vc UUUIblLU' tiOQ. The htele institutions of higher learning are all well equipped aud "re doing a great work In the education of many of our girls and boys, but those fortunate ones are but a meagre ten per oent. of tlose within the school ?ge; tae other ninety per oent. are wholly dependent upon the oommon sol ools. It is trie that many of the graded schools are kept open for nine months in the year bv the help of the <?peclAl taxes voted upon thexsolvcs by the tax payers of the particular school district, but many of the small schools In the rural districts are in session but for three or four months in the year. 1 Realizing that most of the children, who atte >d these sohools, are reoetv- 1 ing from them all the school ad van t ages that they will ever get, are we ? doing our full duty to them? Are we < thus fitting them for all of the duties < of an intelligent oltlzsnship? 1 We are building for the future aud we should see to It that we build strong and well. You have no more important matter that will come be- t fore you and I reoommend that liberal i appropriations be made for the oom- t mon eohoOls. t I also ask your espeolal attention to <3 and considerations of the establish- a msnt of high sohools in oonneotlon I f A - .. _ with end u a part ot the free school i system of our state. Many ohiunen i will be able to attend a Mate oo lege, t and m*ny others will ba better pre J pared for college after having attend- j od the high school. It Is a step In the dtrecUou ot gWlDg to the boys and i girls better opportunities In their i school life and for maklog them bet* 1 ter citizens. f LlqUOK qUKSTIONi 1 I One of the most Important subject? , that you have before you for c >nmderatlcn, Gentlemen of the General As sembly, Is the liquor question. Tho people of the state have spoken , of, no uncertain sound, aad we oannot mistake their meaning, that the state dispensary system must be abolished and that the*e must be enaoted In Its eiead, a law providing for looal oounty option as between ounty prohibition and oounty dispensaries. In making my campaign this past summer, one of the pxloolpal Issues | before the peoplo was the question of | state dispensary or looal county op tlon as between oounty prohibition and county dispensaries. The plank In my platform upon that question Is as follows: "1 am opposed to the system of a . state dispensary. I am In favor of lo- \ oal county option, between county prohibition and oounty dispensaries j ijgu uau't uuuuiy n?y iur llSSJI WI1610- j er it desires that liquor shall be sold < Id that county, or that it shall not 1 he sold therein. This system has been, i and Is now the law in several of the states around and near us, and it is t regarded with satisfaction so far as I i have been able to learn. You know r what you had rather have in your i county, and you should, therefore, i have a right to say so, and not lot t other counties vote upon what your j county should have. You manage i ) our own oouuty affairs in every thing ^ else, why not in this mattei V t ''I favor each county voting upon c that question for themselves. If the | vote is for liquor to be sold, then let ( a oouuty dispensary be operated In i that countv under the restrictions a now thrown around the sale of liquor i with such other regulations as the f legislature may deem best. Let the 8 county board of control be appointed by the governor and let the board so appointed have charge of the whole matter for that county, Bald board to report to the judge at eaoh term of the circuit oourt for that oounty of all of its votings and doings, and then let the judge hand that report to the grand jury for their lnspeotlon and investigation, with suoh instructions as be may think proper. Whatever profit is made will go to the oountv. Let the dispensers be paid a salary and not a commission on w^at they * sell. If the vote is for prohibition 1 then allow no liquor to be sold In such county, and pass a stringent law providing for the punishment of all ? 'ollnd tigers' and other violators of the law, and make It the duty of the oounty sheriffs, deputies, constables, marshals, polloemen, and other peaoe : officers to see to it that this law Is enforced and all violators are brought to 1 justice and punishment. c "I would be glad If no liquors were Bold as a beverage, but the conditions are such at this time, that I believe J this to be the best way to deal with the question." I stand upon that platform to-day, and I urge that you enaot a law abol- " lshing the state d ispensary system and give to tho people of eaoh county the right to vote upon tho question of county prohibition or couuty dispen- \ sary. 1 The best way of controlling the sale e of liquor has been agitating the minds c of the people of this country for many 1 years; the sale of It has been declared t an evil by the highest court of the t land and the question for us now is f which Is the best way of controlling it u In this state, c The slate dispensary system was adopted, ard, after a trial of r,hir.ecu years, a great majority of the people of the state have said that they wish # It abolished and that each oounty shall b be allowed tbe right to lay whether g they will have prohibition or oounty u The will of the people Is supremo f and we should heed their demands Many of ycu were elected upon the [J same platform and the matter Is now J before you gentlemen, it Is for you c to say whether the will of the people r shall be carried cut or not. Let ui c do our duty without fear or favor. v mjckkt suops. d Another matter that I desire to t bring to your attention Is the enaot- n ment of a law pravcntiog tne opera- u tlon of what are known at "Bucket s Shops," or cotton or stock exchanges, f This Is a species of speculation that fa o taking thousands of dollars from this * slate, Is demoralizing our oltiztns, and r is bringing many of them to poverty and to ruin. . The dates of North Carolina and . Georgia have already prohibited th*m n from doing business within their , boundaries and we owe 16 to ourselves 1 arid to the good name of the state u that wo follow the example so worth- t liy set us. We dow have on our stat- r ute book an aot declaring "unlawful, R ooutracta for the sale of articles for m future delivery, made under oeitalu . oircumstanoes," etc. Let us now follow this up with an A.ct prohibiting any bucket shop or " cotton or etook exchange or any other exchange of like character from doing b cuslneu In this state. p A8?AULT BTC. I further wish to oall your attention n ,i) another matter whloh I consider a m grave importance at thli particular 81 ilme in our hlitory, and that ie the P] oaotment of a law providing the leath penalty to any male peraou aaktng an afcault upon a female with m nteot to ravish, granting the right Hi * I J ' o the jury trying the case to tlx the >unlBhaieDo at life Imprisonment in >he State V nitentlary If to their udpraent the facte warrant a less punishment than death. In thla day when we read of bo nan* assaults of thla character being made, itb.tiorvsM ua to wake up to bhasuuatirn au 1 make the penalty bo leTCie that if e woman of thla state may be protected from this heinous prime and the pcpetrators punished 90 Rev rely that ail will be deterred from committing the same. I further recommend that an Act be passed pr v'dlng that In all oases of rape or aas^uli with latent to rav lsh, the female may be allowed to tw tlfy in private, before the Judge, In the presence cf toe counsel for the 8tate and deleiidint and the defendant himself, and that the testimony so taken shall be read to the j <rv as tbe evidence of the arid wiiuoss on the trial of the oare. ThlR Is the law In, at least one. f not more, of tbe states of the unlc^, and should be the law In this state. In this connection, I think It im portaut aUo to *t>k that you pass an act making it a misdemeanor to post jr display in auy public place or on any street or highway indeosnt pictures of females. It Is an evil that has been growing In the last few years, and one that calls for aotlon on our part. It Is not necessary for me to sail to your attention the reasons why bills aot should be passed, It is obvlouH bo all right thinking persons. I resneotfully recommend that a IVHtom nf mnnntnrl nr,H?o rtr I |rv??wv vi |/nviwi ror the rural districts be established, rhis is do now ide%. but one that is [Ming carried out with great success n many countries. When there are 10 many vagrants and Idlers roaming ibout, and there is so muoh more work to be done on every side, the work or move-on system should be ;stablisbed, and that oan be oarrid >ut better by such mounted patrol or police system, than by any other plan. ?lve them authority to arrest all violators of the laws of the State, ind carry them before the nearest nagistrate for trial or commitment 'or trial to the Court of General Setlions. 11A If j ROADS. When we hear so muoh complaint rom so many sources of the negleot >r ommlssion of the railroad oom)anies doing business in this state, of (lvlng to the people proper passenger ind freight acommodatlons and rates ind accurate information of delayed rains, it is very evident to every ihlnklng person that the railroad tommissloners should have power to torreot these things and to give relief vhere it is fair and Just between the 1 allroads and the people. The raiload corporations, should be dealt vtth fairly and justly but at the ame time the oeopla's rights should ia nrnvldnd fnr anri rw r-W ? ?V* WUU lVO|/UUUOU I, therefore, recommend that suoh | iddltlonal powers be given to the raiload commissioners as will enable hem to compel the railroads to oom>ly with suoh reasonable rules and irders as may be just and proper. i In this connection, I would recomnend that the act now of force retiring the salaries of the railroad lommisaioners to be paid by the railoads be repealed. The office of raiload commissioners Is a State ollloe md the salary ought to be paid by he State. CONFEDERATE VETERANS. It Is a duty that we owe to ourselres and to our state that we provide lberal pensions for our needy Conftd irate Veterans?those who for lack if means or who by reason of age or ntlrmity are no?? able to provide for hemsolves. I, therefore, recommend hat you make liberal appropriations or these veterans to be psld to them mder suoh rules and regulations as nay be Juit and proper. llOADS. The road quewtlon Is one of parancunt Importance and one tnat hould have our most careful a HenIon. Many of the counties of thla tate are uow engaged In the laudable indertaking of building good roads nd others are beginning to prepare or grading and macadam zing tbelr irlnolpai roads. When we oontem* date the great good that la done to no greatest numner or ^ur people by q bis work and the benefits to be de- % ived therefrom, It behooves us toon* t ourage, in every way possible our * leople to go forward with this un- c lertaklng. I therefore recommend \ hat you request our senators and embers of Goagreea to urge the pee* ,ge of euoh an act as will give to our t tate a liberal appropriation in money < or the carrying on of thie work. This c aoney supplemented with our oon- t let labor would scon glvo us good ? oads in every county In the state. j SUPREME COURT. t I desire, Gentlemen, to call your c .Ueutlon also to the matter of tue c ifcessit.y for better accoaimc^ations c or ??ur supreme court. The space 1 Hotted in the Stato House for the ? ise of tho supreme oourt has all been ? &vmi up wnn tne library and 1 enorda, except one consultation room nd the court room. I respectfully * ?k that you look into this matter 8 ud provide for the necessities of the 11 urt in this regard. n KAUTJKYING 8TATK HOUSK GHOUNDS. ' I would also urge that some steps e tajcen toward beautifying and im> roving the grounds that surround \ his Capital Building. With the ex- y endlture of a little money a great e nprovement oan be mada and I feel ii iiureed that their state house ii rounds shall be beautified and lm- a roved. H IMMIGRATION. ^ There is no question of greater mo- a ent to our material and industrial li fa than that of immigration. The a f labor question Is very serious one. Ma' y thousands of aores of lands are now lying Idle for the want of labor* ers, and many other avenues of trade are offering work to the workers. To my mind the best solution of this question is the bringing in of home seekers, home builders and desirable workmen. I, therefore, reoommend that you take such steps as may to you seem wisu to f ister and sustain the Department cf Immigration now acoompllnblng so much work on this line. STATUTE OF .IOUN O. CALHOUN. Whiie many of the states or this Uaion have honored themselves by plaolng la the Hall of Fame, In the Capital at Washington, D (J , statues of one or two of tbelr hone red and eminent sons, who have done noble work f?r their states and for the Uu Ion, South Carolina's place has re malned vacant. I respcctfu.ly re commend that you give this m&ttei your careful aUentisn and give such oonsmeralion to the same that at no distant da} the statute of John C. Calhoun tuay adorn that Hall, for by thus honoring that noble ?-oo of South Carolina, we will honor ourselves. Suoh other matter, gentlemen, as may be proper to bring to your attention during the oresent session, 1 shall allude bo In ipeclaj messages. CONCLUSION. Allow me bo add in the words of iiu?b eminent statesman, Ttiomas Jefferson, who when called to the office of President of the Uaited States, closed his inaugural address, In part as follows. *'I repair then fellow citizens to the post you have assigned me, with ezperlenoe enough In subordinate offices to have seen the difficulties of this the greatest of all. I have learned to expect that It will rarely fall to the lot of imperfect man to retire from this station with the reputation and the favor whioh bring him into It 1 shall often go wrong thrcugh defect of judgment, when right, 1 shall often be thought wrong by those whose positions will not command a view of the whole ground. 1 shall ask your indulgence for my own errors, which will never be intentional; and your support against tbe errors of others, who mxy condemn what they would not, if seen in all of its parts. My solicitude will be to retain the good opinion of those who have bestowed it in advance, to conciliate that of others by doing them all the gcod In my power, and to be instrumental in the happiness and freedom of all. "Relying then, on the patronage of your good will, I advance with obedience to work, and may that In finite Power, wbloh rules the destinies of the Universe, lead our oounoils bo what Is bsst, and give them a favorable issue for your peaoe and prosperity." M. F. A nskl. January 16, 1907. THE DISPENSARY. How the Senate and llouae Stands On It. The Florenoe Times says dispensary legislation is coming It oouid not be orought in at the very outset of the session, as much as the people of the state might have wished to see it, but it will be in good and strong from iow on, each faction will have bills ind there will be an endless variety of xieasures proposed unless the various 'aotlons that agree most nearly get ogether aud oondense their views nto some measure tvar will suit sev ;ral phases of the question. All rojogo'ze that the people of the state Jem> nd a reformation of affairs and jhe surrounding of the s'.aco dinpenlary if oonduoted with FUih sate(uards and restrlotlons as will hfu li tbove reasonable reproaoh. It is generally conceded that the lenate has a narrow majority for the itate dispensary, and that the house s ahout evenly divided, but both ides olalm a majority. It is admit-ed that the antl-dlspensary faction las a smaller vote this year than they lad last year, and the dispensary men uaim that the ourrent Is tending tgam their wav now that th? nannu iave register*) their protest, but the eapooslbtllty Is on them to meet the iritioism of the system with reforms .hat cannot be doubted. It is herd to see that the recent ensatlons created by the oharge that the directors had overloaded the state vilh liquor in view of their going out >f oftloe and the very positive declarations of the governor eleot have had iny effect on the representatives Saoh man stands just where he stood jefore. The house passed a resolution ordering the dlreotors to suspend or lers for liquor until after the meetly >f the assembly which was nothing in he World but a slap, considered gen iraily as inadvised, at the board. They have ordered all that thi y Inend to order and If they have orred n the matter the way to treat them. t is held, would have been to oleot omobcdy else to their plaoes If the nstltution la continued, which li cost probably with the senate In Its avor Wheel Exploded, F.

It is wonderful what c can be done when self interest de- ^ mands it. It is said that the two houses of the legislatare are divided on the f dispensary (|iiestion, the Senate being for and the House against it by a very small majority.
