LETTERS IN REGARD
LIQUOR CONSTABLES
PASSED BETWEEN GOVER
NOR AND COUNTY OF
FICIALS
BOARD REPLIED
I hat They Thought it Would be
Unwise to Have Appoint
ments Made.
Tho following correspondence waa
handed to The Intelligencer yester
day morning, lt relatos to the desire
of Governor Manning to appoint two
whiskey conntublen in this county af
ter he hud received a letter from
Sheriff Ashley requcestlhg that this
he done of the refusal of the coun
ty boa;. J of commissioners to pay the
salary of such officers if appointed.
The letters follow:
Columbia, July 21, 1915.
To Hie Boarfd of County Commission
ors, Anderson County, Anderson, S.
C.
Dear Sirs: -
1'ndor Section 840, Volume 2 of
the Code of lilil?, I desire to appoint
two constables to enforce the liquor
laws of this state In Anderson coun
ty. The statute provides that "the
salaries and expenses of such office t's
is to be paid out of the profits of the
dispensaries wherein they may be es
tablished, and out of the ordinary
funds in cou.!.les wherein they nave
not been estai''.?shed. I'nder this pro
vision I w?uld be glad to have your
assurrance that you will approve the
bills for the compensation of these
constables. I think that a fair rate of
compensation would be $11.00 a day to
each constable.
1 would be glad to hear from you on
this at the earliest possible date.
I am.
Very truly yours,
(Signed) nie ,aro l. Manning.
Governor.
Anderson, S. C.. July 24th, 1915.
Gov. Ri. I. Manning,
Columbia, S. C.
Dear ?ir and Governor:
It ls the un animous opinion of the
board of county commissioners for
Anderson county that tho appoint
ment of whiskey constables would be
entailing an unnecessary expense on
thc county. The county funds are at
a low ebb, and while we want luw
enforcement, we do not think they are
needed here. And that for us to
agree to approve claims against the
county for whiskey constables sal
ary would be unfair to the county,
and useless waste ot thc peoples
money.
Wo thought you did a wise thing
when you removed constables from
this county last spring. CourtB may
compel us to pay your appointees, if
any you make, but we desir j to onter
our protest against any appointments
that wo have to pay.
We arc uncertain as to whether
the $3.00 per day includes expenses.
Wo had twp constables that were paid
*2.50 per day and expenses. If yov
conclude to make the appointments,
we trust that If the first few months
of service fail to show good results,
that you will removo them. Since
.the passage of the "Gallon n mo Uh"
law there has been a great improve
ment in liquor condition in this
county. None of us know of ?ny
flagrant violation of the law and wc
are from several sections of thc
county.
Wo wish to hold up your hand;
In law onforccmcnt, hut it ls 'tho
waste of public funds we arc pro
testing against.
Yours truly,
(Signed) J. Mack King,
Chairman.

MT. Joe M. H. Ashley, Sherill.
Anderson, S. C.
Dear Slr:
In pursuance of your request ot Muy
8th, followed by your verbal request
a few days ago, to appoint two con
stables for Anderson county to break
up the illegal liquor business. I took
up this matter .on the 21st, with the
board of county commissioners,' as
compensation for the services of these
men would have to be paid by the
county under Section 840, Code of
IMS, Volume 2. I have heard from
the board of county commissioners
this morning protesting strongly
against the appointment of constables,
saying "the courts may compel us to
pay your appoint?es, if any you make,
but we desire to enter on . protest
have to pay;" and also saying, "We
ag?tn3t any appointments that we
wish to hold up your hands in law
enforcement, but it ls the waste of
public funds we are protesting
against." I do* not think ti.iat lt ls
proper for me to go ahead and ap
point constables In the face of such
s protest from the board of county
commissioners, therefore 1 do not
ree my way to the appointment of
the men yon have asked for.
In view of the attitude of the
county commissioners against em
ploying extra mea. and In view, too,
of your statements to me that the
liquor traffic ls going on and *ho"M
be stopped. I want you to redouble
your efforts to this and hope that by
vigorous action by you and your de
puties and the magistrates and their
constables, that the trade In Illicit
llauor will be brokon up.
I am,
Very truly yours,
Richard I. Manning.
Governor.
NOW TAKING UP TRACKS
ON SOUTH MAIN STREET
MR. W. W. JOHNSON BE
GAN WORK YES
TERDAY
CARS ARE STOPPED
And Passengers Are Transferring
-Manner in Which the Work
is to Be Done is Interesting.
Thc actual work of tak'nc up the
street car tracks of the Southern Pub
lic I'tllltleB company on South .Main
street was begun yesterday afternoon.
Mr. W. W. Johnson, who has tho
contract for this work ttatcd yester
day that probably lu< would begin
la vim; the concrete by Friday.
Owing to* the fact t: a. the street
cor tracks are being lorn up, pas
sengers using th ? cars to and from
Orr and Gluck mills and to and (rom
Riverside mill have to transfer from
Church to River street. This sec
tion will be the first one paved and
the work will go right on down South
Main street.
After taking nup the tracks the
first work to be done will be that ?>f
taking un the old water main which
was placed beneath one of the old
rails. A new main has been placed
along side the old one to take its
place. After the old man ls removed
the ditch will be filled with a rock
and sank mixture.
One noticeable feature of the street
ear track paving will be thal ?hero
will be no wooden crossties and no
wooden ballasts under them. The
rail for its entire length will be sup
ported by a concreate beam, rein
forced with corrugated steel bars, In
accordance with modern concrete
practice. ? This beam by its strength
and silfTnoss will distribute the loads
over such a large area that the set
tlement of.the tracks will be even,
and have no effect on the pavement.
A wide bearing plate will be used
under the rall, 'so that the weight
will be distributed over cig.it inches
width, andv there can be no crushing
of Hie concrete.
The beam constructions will bo
anchored at two-foot intervals with
long bolts, whi;h will be turned un
der the reinforcing bars in the con
crete beam.
Great attention will be also paid
to the joints nv the track sinco ft'
has been conceded that t ic pounding
break up the pavement. Where one
rall is a little higher than thc one
adjoining, the joint will bc ground
to an absolute level. '
The paving where tho tracks will
be placed will bc about IS inches
deep and will gradually slope to a
thickness of about five inches on the
outside of the tracks and to thc cen
ter. The paving will extend 18 inches
on tho outside of the rails.
In doing this work the rails will
be put down on levelling blocks bo
fore the concrete is put down. Thc
mixture will then be put down all
around the raiils, tho girder and the
connecting bolts, so that when the
concrete dries, they will be 'absolutely
secure.
TO START BUILDING
THE NEW HOSPITAL
A Force of 15 JHands WiU Start
Work Thu Morning Under

Dr. Breedln stated yesterday that

Ladies! Secret To,
Darken Gray Hair
Bring Back its Color ?nd Lustre
With Grandma's Sage Tea
Recipe.
- Common garden sage brewed Into a
heavy tes, with sulphur and alcohol
added, will turn gray, streaked and
faded hair beautifully dark 'and lux
uriant' remove every bit of dandruff,
stop s.'? lp Itching and falling hair.
Mixing the Sage Tea and Sulphur re
cipe at home, though, lt troublesome.
An easier way ls to get the ready-to
use tonic, costing about 50 cents a
large bottle, at drug stores, known
ap "Wyeth's Saga and Sulphur Com
pound," thus avoiding a lot of muss.
While wispy, gray, faded hair is not
sinful, we all desire to retain our
youthful appearance and attractive
no s. By darkening your hair with
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur, no one
can tell because lt does lt so natural
ly, so evenly. Yon "Just dampen a
sponge or soft brash with lt and
draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at a time; by morn
ing all gray hairs havo disappeared.
After another application or two your
hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy,
soft and luxuriant and you appear
years younger.

.. The home of Mr. John R. Snel
grove st 1601 South Main street, just
beyond the city limit:., burned yes
terday afternoon about 1:30 o'clock.
Both house and furniture were de
stroyed. Insurance to the amount of
|2.r>00 was carried on the building
and $800 on the furniture.
Tho alarm was sent in from be
yond the city limits add when the
fire department reached the scene th
entire building was in flames.' Ihcy
bad made great headway and the fire
men coul do nothing except confine
the flames to that building, and ow
ing to the fact that the house waa
covered with metal shingles.- and the
efforts of the ftremon, the homos of
Mr. J. P. Qoforth and Mr. C. M. j
nearby were saved.
. The building which was destroyed
was a six room dwelling, and Mr.
Snelgrovb stated yesterday afternoon
that tho cost of the building was
about H.700. He was lu the city
when tho fire was discovered and
his family being In the mountains,
there was no one at home'. He sold
that he had not been In the house in
three or four days and tb*t there had
been no fire in it during that time. It
is supposed that the fire originated
from a short circuit In the electric
wires.
