of August last. This. with the low
price Of cotton, will show decrease
in the income. The health of the con
victs has been reasonably good and
the death rate very small.
The seven white boys under the age
of sixteen years who were on the
Lexington County farm, called the
reformatory, were transferred In No
vember last to the Industrial School
for White Boys at Florence, as pro-
vided in the Act establishing the
same, and they are now being well
cared for and taught by competent
persons at this industrial school.
The State Board of Health.
This Board has done good work
this past year. The secretary has
visited every part of the State when
called on to examine into any cases
| Of contagious or infectious diseases,
and has prevented the spread of these
diseases. On one or more occasions,
the entire Board has responded to the
Icall Of their chairman and did good
work in examining the cause of
threatened epidemics and preventing
their spread. Their work should be
commended and Sustained.
I recommend the necessary appro-
priation for the present year.
Tnsurance Department.
Several amendments to the insur-
ance law passed at your last session
are suggested in the report Of the
Insurance Commissioner These are
necessary and essential. Full power
should be given to the Commissioner
over investment companies as well as
fire and life insurance companies.
Historical Commission.
The work of the Historical Com
mission during the past year has been
concerned chiefly with the preserva-
tion and orderly arrangement of the
States valuable collection Of public
records. The Commission has caused
many additional records to be so fled
as to make them available for use.
I recommend that the needed appro-
priation be made to carry it on.
The Audubon Society.
The preservation of our game and
fish from unlawful destruction is a
matter in which every good citizen
of the State feels an intrest. The
Audubon, Society, chartered by the
General Assembly in 1907. has charge
of this matter and is diligent and
persevering in carrying out the laws
on the subject. The second annual
report of this Society will be laid on
your desks.
Railroads.
On the first of April last. the
Southern Railway Company and the
Seaboard Air Line Railway Company
put on sale two and one-half cent
passenger rate on their several roads;

Assault With Intent to Ravish, etc
There are some amendments to the
criminal statutes that / consider of
great Importance and which I think
should be passed by your honorable
bodies at this session. called atten-
tion to them in my inaugural address
and as they have not been enacted
into law, 1 wish to repeat the recon-
now. Subsequent events
have confirmed my opinion that they
were right and proper. I quote from
said inaugural.

or to post or display in any public

Supreme Court
More room for our Supreme Court
and the Supreme Court library is
necessary. A suitable courtroom
could be built on the State House
grounds. The money for this pur-
pose could be borrowed from the
State Sinking Fund Commission and
the same paid back by small ap-
preparation each year for several
years.
I recommend that you appoint a
committee or a commission to look
into this matter. Several of the State
officers have to rent Offices or use
committee rooms in order to carry
on their work. If this court build
ing were erected, the rooms now oc-
cupied by the Supreme Court would
be sufficient to accommodate these Of
fcers.
National Guard.
The citizen soldiery is a very i'm
portant arm oil the State government
and should be sustained and encour-
aged by all lovers of peace and or
der. 1t has been my duty to call on
some of them on more than one oc-
casion during the past year, and they
have always responded with prompt
ness and performed the duties for
which they were called with fidelity.
call your especial attention to the
needs of the National Guard and
recommend a liberal appropriation
for its maintenance. j.

This institution must be sustained

: Salaries.

OaidlleSs YAH 3,
The salaries of our State officers
and Supreme and Circuit Court
Judges should be raised to at least
what they were few years Since.
The increase will not affect me or
the other officers now holding Office
under their present terms, but feel
that it is due to those who come after
us and I therefore, recommend it.
Conservation of Our Natural Resour-
cea.
1t was my privilege to attend
Conference of the Governors of the
States of the Union at the White
House in Washington last May upon
the important question of the conser-
vation of our natural resources. Many
valuable suggestions were made and
much information disseminated. Since
that I have appointed a committee to
get up information upon this subject,
SO far as i Germs the State. in
order that Lay, at later date,
make such recommendations to you
as to what should be done along
these lines.
Governors Mansion.
I recommend that commission be
appointed to enquire into the cost
and feasibility of erecting a new
Mansion upon the lot on which the
present Mansion stands, and reiterate
what I said in my last message,
which is as follows:'
"The present mansion was erect
ed more than fifty years ago, and
has served the purpose for which it
was built. Since 1880, it has been
uesd as home for the Governor.
While it is comfortable, yet it is de-
teriorating and will soon require
many repairs. The lot on which
this building stands is one of the
best in the City of Columbia. A
new mansion built in the center of
the lot, fronting on Richland street
with side entrances from Gadsden
and Loncoln streets, would be an
ornament to the capital city of the
State, and an ideal home for your
Governor.
And now, gentlemen of the General
Assembly, the future welfare of the
State is in your hands. know that
YOU will look we'll to her interests
and prosperity. Let wisdom and
;ustice Guide YOU in all Of your de-
librations.
I ninvoke the blessings of the Su-
preme Ruler of the Universe upon
each Of you and upon all the people
Of the State.
Respectfully,
M. F. ANSEL. Governor.

Dispensary Law.
-Four counties Of the State have
voted, out county dispensaries, to-
wit: Chesterfield, Chester, Claren-
don and Larens, leaving twenty-one
counties in which there are county
|dispensaries and twenty-one counties
in. which we have county prohlbi-
tion.
In my last message, I recommended
that the Carey-Cothran Act be
amended by providing "that not
more than one county dispepsary be
allowed in any county where liquor
is allowed to be sold, except in those
counties where there are cities with
a population exceeding twenty-five
thousand" This suggestion was not
enacted into law, and now renew
the recommendation and that the said
Act be further amended by making
all the counties dry, that is, not al
lowing liquor to be sold in any OF the
counties of the State, with the right
to any Of the counties now having
dispensaries to vote upon the ques-
tion as to whether liquors shall be
sold in said counties according to the
rules and regulation provided in
the Carey-Cothran laid election
to be ordered upr petition being
filed with the County Supervisor of
such county, signed by at least one
third of the qualified electors of such
county. I also recommend that the
Act be further amended by not al
lowing any county in which liquor is
allowed to be sold to have bettling
plant or mixing or blending plant,
and that all liquors of every kind
shall be purchased in bottles or in
jugs, and sold in the original pack
ages.
The commission appointed to wind
up the State Dispensary were. pro-
ceeding with their work during the
past year until they were enjoined by
the United States Circuit Court from
paying out any of the funds in their
hands.
