Columbia, .lune 19.-In answer to M letter inquiring about tho Two quarl-a-month Act, Governor Man ning bas written I be following re ply, which was given out Saturday li I eli I : "Your letter ol' the Isl was re ceived in the office and would have been answered earlier but for my continued absence and in attendance on the D?mocratie National Conven tion. "In tb?' beginning permit me to Stale dial I am very glad, Indeed, tbat your interest in thc administra tion of affairs of govern mont and in (lie enforcement of law in South Carolina is such that you feel free to write me in reference lo the Iwo quart bill. I am glad to have, the opportunity to advise . MI that my refusal to sign this 'hill at the pres ent time is purely in the interest of temperance in South Carolina, and with all regard for thc views of its advocates and with great admiration for their high purpose; and fine ser vice. "You will recall that the Legisla ture at its I9lfi session passed what is known as tho Gallon-a-month Act. This same legislature passed an act referring (lie question of prohibition or local option lo tho voters of South Carolina in a special election held in September, 19 ir.. "lt has been claimed by some that there are constitutional defects in the gallon-n-month law. As the head of the executive department ol' the State I would not presume to pass on this quest ion. That i.s a matter for the judicial department. My duty is to direct the enforcement of this ad so long as it remains on the stat ute books unchanged by legislative enactment or judicial decision. "I have boen in formed thal this law is now being tested in the courts, and the friends of prohibi tion having knowledge ol' this action introduced (luring the lilli! session ol tli?> Legislature a bill intended to re-enact this gallon-a-mont h law in Mich a manner as to leave no i|iies tion as io its constitutionality. When ibis bill was introduced and dually passed through both house-, of the General Assembly a good many changes had been made in it and a number of amendments tacked on. hi lui. i tic act as filially passed was wiuc'\ ?I i ifcrrn I. I am told, from the bili originally introduced When this act came lo mi' for my approval or disapproval I discussed the entire matter with the authors of Hie bill, together with some ol' I lie leading prohibitionists ol' Hie Stale. In addi tion to (lie advice and counsel gain ed from Iheso gentlemen, who are very much interested ill Ibo cause ol' prohibition, I received a large num ber ol' letters from cit ivens in various parts of Ibo Slate urging nie for va rious reasons no! lo approve >!' this act. "This condition confronted me: The Call?n-a-llionlh Act was before the coull . and ibis new act, if sign ed, would automatically repeat the Callon-a-monlh Ait: and in case it were attacked and se) aside by the courts, v.i. would be left wilholli any legal ?imitation upon Ibo amount ol' liquor thal might be imported.

The Two-quart Act has not been vetoed, but is merely held in this offlco as above stated. "I have written you frankly In reference to tho matter, and I trust you will understand and appreciate my position.

"Sinei! the State bas spoken so clearly for prohibition, it becomes tho duty of a Democrat., and cer tainly that or a public official, to ac cept the expression of the will of the people as the policy of the State, lt seems to me, therefore, that we have bael our cou rsi' determined by a greatly preponderant vote, and so fur as I am concerned the liquor ques tion is a settled one. lt is no longer a political issue.
