N. r. Ansel viii Run for Governor.
[Greenville News, January ls. ]

"You have my authority for say
ing that l will be- in the race for
Governor of South Carolina in 1906,
and you may add that / shall be in
the fight until the people have ex-
pressed their choice at the polls"
This was the statement made yes
terday to representative of the
Greenville News by Nj. F. Ansel, a
member of the local bar, who ran
against Governor Hayward when the
latter was elected in 1902. On for
ner occasions Mr.. Ansel intimated
that he would be candidate, and
what he had to say yesterday may be
accepted as his formal announce
ment. Thus far he is the first man
to seek the honor, and while the
campaign will not be fairly launched
until next year, he is anxious for his
friends to know that he will be in the
race from start to finish.
The interview with Governor Hey
ward, printed yesterday in The State,
showed that the Governor will retire
to private life after serving his sec
ond term, and while there was some
talk about urging him to stand a
third time for the Office, his friends
never believed that he would take
that proposition seriously. Now that
he has spoken, however,, others may
feel free to enter for the guberna-
torial stakes, and being the first to
come out, Mr.. Ansel will naturally
have the jump on the small army of
aspirants.
When he first went before the peo-
pie as a candidate Mr.. Ansel de-
veloped strong following, and his
friends declare that with the support
OF the up-country, which predomi-
mates, he will have splendid chance
of winning out in the end. He is
well-known, especially in the Pied
mont section. He served as Solicitor
of the Eighth Circuit for a number
of years, but he is known beyond
the shadow of his home. He made
such good impression in the memo
rable campaign that he will not go
before the voters as a stranger about
whom little is known.
Mr.. Ansel, however, will have
competition. Many of the old line
politicians will get busy within the
next few months and four or five
candidates will "do their durndest"
to get away with the goods.
"lt has been a mighty long time
since a Greenville man was Gov
ernor," said citizen last night, "and
] guess we might get together early
and pull for Brother Crafford.'"

A Dispensary Investigation.

a concurrent resolution was intro
duced by Senator Blease, of Newberry,
to investigate the conditions and affairs
OF the State dispensary. This resolu-
ton provides that committee of two
Senator's and three members from the

houses represented by agents who are
near relatives of the members of the
board OF directors receive large orders at
each purchase
2. is it fact that members of the
board of directors are or have been
agents for certain wholesale houses from
which large purchases are made?
3. is Il fact that parties to whom
large orders are given are not wholesale
dealers, but brokers, and that the orders
are filed by third persons, thus making
the State pay the commissions of the
middlemanp
d. Was 1T necessary to purchase the
large quantity of liquors ordered in De-
Gem ber, 1904, to ill demands, and espe-
cially the new and fancy goods purchased

made necessary to the best business in
terests of the dispensary system?
U. what is the financial standing of
the business, and is it run on the best
principles for the intersest of tho law as
originally passed and amended?
Z. Is it fact that the State, through
the dispensaries, is violating the consti
tuition of 1895, in that it is selling whis,
! key IL less quantities than one hall OF
one pintp
| 8. Is it a fact that the State is selling
iifths in case goods to it's customers and
charging them for one quartz
8. Is it fact that certain agents are
travelling over the State and Offering spe-
cial inducements to county dispensers
f, D "push" cert i brands of liquors. and.
! SO, is it a tact known to the members

10. &c y fact that certain REQUIRE
ments of the law are dispensed with by
the county dispensers by order of or by
consent of the members of the State
board of directors?
| IL. Has the whiskey which has been
recently purchased been ordered out
from the dealer, or is it held in reserve
for future delivery?
IL. What is the indebtedness of the
dspensary for liquors which have been
bought, but not delivered?

Compulsory Education.

The subject OF compulsory aducation
10 South Carolina is receiving unusual
attention just at this time. The State, cf
Columbia, has been advocating this
measure with considerable force for
some time, and We are glad to see that it
isnot only attracting attention. but also
that there are many people throughout
the State who are of the same opinion.
The meetings of superintendents of town
and city schools, held in Columbia few
days ago, passed resolutions in favor of
compulsory education aud asked for leg
islation providing for such.s A number
of the mill presidents have spoken in
favor Of such legislation, and the desire
for compulsory education seems to be
growing in the country as we'll as in the
towns. Very little has been said in op-
position to the proposed measure.
This matter will come before the next
Legislature, apd while it will meet with
opposition, it is probable that law
fayoring compulsory education will be
passed. If it is right TO tax the people
to build schools for their children, it is
also right to keep these schools open, and
1t they are kept open the children ought
to attend that they may reap the benefits.
II we pay our money to educate the chill
dren, we naturally wish that all the chill
dren shall be required to get all the good
they car from that expenditure. Every
school in the State might be kept open
from six to eight months, and during
this time every child from Z to Ii, at
least, unless excused by special provision,
ought to be in those schools. No child
In this State, if blessed with reasonable
strength of mind and body, should be
allowed to reach manhood or woman
hood without the rudments of common
school education. 1t is time for us to
stamp out illiteracy, and If parents will
not send their children to school, when
schools are provided for them, then it is
time for the State to take the matter in
hand for its own protection and self
preservation.
Several years ago when this matter
came before the Legislature in a bill in
trodnoed by Senator Raysor, of Orange
burg, we took occasion to endorse il. and
we have never seen any good reason to
change our opinion, although tho Legis-
lature at that time failed to pass the bill.
We hope that the matter will receive
more serious and favorable consideration
IN the approaching Legislature. Evi-
IDENTIFY sentiment in favor of compulsory
education is growing among cur people,
and it will come soon or late and the
Legislature need not wait till every voice
in the State speaks out in favor of it. We
wish South Carolina to be abreast of any
State in the Union in all that goes to
make up an enlightened, intelligent, and
IN all respects, qualified citizenship.

NEVADA A GREAT STATE.
Report of Geological Survey
Shows Wealth Of this State.


The government is doing everything
possible to help the mining industry
and the mining men of the country will
ever be grateful to Teddy The
latest official report shows that the pro-
duction of gold in the United States
during 1904 amounted to 1910, 72O fine
ounces. valued at $50, 1886, SAT. This
represents an increase Of 81, 243, 94S
over the production Of 1908. After a
period Of very rapid advance in the
gold production from 1892 to 1900, dur
ing which an increase from 1913, DOC, 900
to 49, IN, 600 took place, there followed
two years of nearly stationary output
and one year, 1908, of very decided de-
crease. 1t is therefore very gratifying
to lind that the production has risen
again with a bound to record figures,
the largest previous output in 1902,
amounting to $50, 600, 600.
The production of silver in 1904
amounted to SIS, 500, S64 fine ounces,
valued at $52, OBS, 878. This represents
an increase of 81, 500, 764 ounces over
the production Of 1903 and an increase
in value Of 81, 713, SIS. There is, there
fore, a total increase of IS, 1857, f26 in
the value of gold and silver produced in
1904 over that of 1903. The record out
put of silver in 1902, amounting to g.
100000 fine ounces has not been
reached in late years, nor has the
commercial value attained the figures
Of that year, which amounted to $82,
101, 900, The price of silver in 1904, ac-
cording to the director of the mint,
varied from S. to 81 cents per fine
ounce representing a decided increase
over the prices of 1903, which varied
from 48 to SO cents and only excep
tionally rose to 81 cents in October
1903.
The number Of producing mines il
the western states, exclusive of Alaski
in 1904, was 1884. To this should b
added several hundred producers i
Alaska and probably over 100 in tn
southern Appalachian states, whic
would make a total of about 1000. TIL
total number of placer mines reporte
is 1,349 and of deep mines 1905. ColC
RADIO has the largest number (560 c
deep producing mines, and is followe
by California, with Ala. In number {
placer mines California easily lead
with I'll, and is followed by Idaho wit
