THE TWO-QUART LIQUOR LAW.
(jiovoi noi' Manning (Jives Reasons for
Net Vet Signing Rill.
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.
"it s.us lo me, therefore, thal
in view ol' (he information thal had
been placed before mc, tho highest
Interests ol" the Slate would liest bo
ser\ed. were I to liol,! Ibis act in
abeyance, rallier (han to take
chances. I*'or Iheso and other rea
rons, which I doom Inadvisable to
make public a) the present time i
deemed it in the interest of temper
ance and In fairness to I he people of
the State that the Two-qttnrl Act bo
not signed at present, but. that it be
held ho'e pending the outcome of
tho legal fight on the Gallon-a
month Act. 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. The principle of law
enforcement la very doar to my
. heart, and In my opinion Is of para
mount Importance in South Caro
lina at the present timo. I am doing
all in in y power to soo that the pros
rut laws aro enforced and shall con
tinue ?his policy with unabated
vigor and without compromise so
long as l nm Governor.
"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. Thc people have
spoken In no uncertain terms on the
matter.
"1 take this occasion to stale that
the acceptance of prohibition hy the
people of South Carolina and their
hearty co-operation with tho officers
in the enforcement of this law have
been remarkable and very gratify
ing. Indeed."

(Spartanburg Herald.)
lt is rather diificult to ligure out
how men who have families depend
ent ii lion them are to enter the ser
vice of the National Guard for a long
period of time without causing their
people to suffer great inconveniences.
The pay of a soldier is only $15 per
month, which, In this day of high
co?t of living, is far from sufficient
to meet their expenses If others are
dependent upon them. This is a
problem that is confronting many
localities and many men, who are
members o?" the organization and
must go to the front.

night marshal, lias performed many
daring feats, but his latest was to
capture a gray wolf hare handed.
The animal was in a lighting mood at

were in danger of capture.
Richardson and Charles Dye, of
this city, happened to be out Hvo
milos south of Columbus recently
when they spied the wolf. They fol
lowed ber until she disappeared in
a hole. Tile men knew from the ac

some baby wolves in thc hole. Seve
ral limes tho wolf looked out to see
what was going on.
The men had no gua and lt was
too far to go after one, so they took
opposite positions around the hole
and walled. The next time the ani
mal stuck its hoad oui it was look

and grabbed it by thc back of the
neck. Ho held on until Dye tore
down a fence to get a pole with
which the woli was finally killed.

PK?CSIDIONT SEES GUARDSMAN.
Impressed by Appearance of Many
.Mon in Citizens' Clothing.
Washington, D. C., July 21.
While these matters occupied the at
tention ol' the Stato Department
President Wilson stood on the side
walk in trout of tho White House to
day to review 2,000 members of the
District of Columbia National Guard
as they passed up Pennsylvania ave
nue on their way to the mobiliza
tion camp at Port Myer. Among
them were men of all walks of life.
Including government employees
from many departments and young
sters just out of high school. There
was little pomp about the parade, but
the men trudged along cheerfully,
burdened with blanket roll and
equipment. Mr. Wilson's appearance,
accompanied by Secretary flaker, was
greeted with cheers from the crowds
gathered along the avenue. A mo
ment later the troops came in sight,
marching in columns of four. The
I'resident's eyes followed particular
ly the men in citizen's clothing, hut
carrying idles and ammunition holts,
who appeared at intervals among the
uniformed guardsmen. They were
recruits, who rushed to offer them
selves since the call for National
Guards went out.
Progress of Mobilized ion.
Tlie War Department telegrams
during the day came from many
States reporting the progress of mo
bil izat ion. Scores of regiments are
under canvas to-night.
"It is quite certain." Secretary Ba
ker said, "that some of the regi
ments will go to tho border shortly,
hut whether that means In a day or
two more 1 cannot say."
'Mr. Baker would not discuss Gen.
Punston's message saying how many
men he wanted as soon as available
and to the points he wished them
routed. Major Gen. Scott, chief of
staff, indicated that the first organi
zations to complete muster into tho
service, and which are well placed
geographically, will be sent forward
promptly.

C. W. Ackerman, the United Press
staff correspondent, writing from
Berlin, says:
"Taking advantage of the.growing
indiff?rence ol* American opinion, ad
vocates of a strong submarine policy
have reoponed the campaign for a
more effective use of the submarine.
The German people realize that the
war may drag into next year; there
fore they aro united in the desire to
see it rushed to the utmost. This
vigorous feeling, which has been
spreading for several weeks, has
been seized upon as a weapon by
those who condemned Uethmnnn
Hollweg's yielding to the United
Slates In the recent submarine con
troversy.
"In a recent conversation with
public men the German viewpoint
wits summed up ns follows:
"Sixty per cent of the Americans
are against tis, 30 per cent are for us
and 10 per cent indifferent. Noth
ing we can do will change American
opinion to help us win the war. We,
therefore, should go ahead and con
centrate all our energies on victory."
