r?00 yards from the Emperor among

including the Emperor's, and killing

his car only l."? minutes before. As
more 'Russian shells were falling In

they commandeered, and. unfortunate

movement In the Charleston situation.
I t <M>k thin step an 1 wan forced to
the conclusion that i??rmaneut results
were n?? being obtains! In Charlo
ton, mates the chief executive Ju f|?.
conclusion of his statement.
Relative to the appointment of con
stables, Gov. Manning said:
"Snt urdu.v I wrote Ml.- following !, ??
ter to Sheriff .1. Elmore Martin, Char
lest on :
"'1 require ami direct you as sheriff
of the county ??f Charleston to 'enforce
the laws witli reference to the sale of
liquors ill the city of Charleston as
well ns in the county of Charleston.
You will please confer with mc in re
gard to the force you think necessary.

"To enable him to do this work I
divided to furnish hlllh with a few
?onsiahlcs, as Ids regular dcjnilir
were not -enough to-do this additional
Work. r expect litin to direct the move
ments of these constables and to see
that they do their duty.
"Tills will in no way absolve . the
municipal authorities from enforcing
the hnv^ainst the illicit sale of liquor
In their city. Heretofore it has hrerr
a custom in Charleston to divide the
county betwoeiV the municipal authori
ties and the sheriff, the police having
charge of tin> city, the sheriff having
charge of- the country district*. I
would lie disposed to conform to this
if ?'o|Hllt Ions resulting fi.,m>
division had been satlfactory.
"The act authorises ami conUltions
make , It necessary that this arrange
merit be ehnnged. It was, therefore.
?n that account 1 requested and re
quired ^Sheriff Martin to see that these
constahH^ under ids direction do their
duty in Wprossing the illicit sale
liquor in hie city as well ns in the
country. iWohl Sherlfl*M?rtin that the
r?'siH>nslbil!i\y was .mine and- that I
expected a stylet compliance by" him
and his inert* Wl that* they should
proceed to on pry <jut my instructions.
"I took tills Step as I was forced
to the conclusion that permanent re
sults were not being obtained lu
Charleston."'
Mayor Grace, in commenting on tlie
statement of Governor Manning an
nounced the npiKdntipent of cohstflF
-hies in Charleston, said to The Keco(fti
this Hftenvrtjtm :
"I am now convinced that Gover
nor Manning has decided to take a
part in ?ur Charleston municipal cam
paign. Every act of his has conlirm
ed this suspicion. He has also. I be
lieve, been playing to the galleries
solely for political purposes of his own
throughout the state. He has enr^
piratically denied both of these charges^
but I am now couqielied to say that
I doubt his word!
"My doubts are continued by the
fact that he projected into the great
est publicity his letters and tele^rnms
to me. giving them out even before*
they reached my Iwtnd*. <>n the other i
hand, he has deliberately suppressed
certain exceedingly compromising let
ters written by me putting him in a
ridiculous , delimna, and, in one iit
stanee, when suppressing a letter which
he was calle/l upon, to give out,, lie
even tried to create the Impression
that It had been suppressed through
some wish of mine,
"Even when 1 4;as in the infiruiaryi
stricken, lie expected results from my
sick bed. and whatever results I achiev
ed. although In one breath he compli
mented me , for them, lie would in the
next breath criticise me for not per-'
forming miracles.
"The reason why he has resorted toj
the subterfuge of billeting constable*]
Ion Charleston ostensibly to assist our
sheriff, 1^ because on the one hand he
1^ politically afraid to apply the Ker-i
shaw logic to the Charleston sheriff,
and on the othct'hand because the
Charleston sheriff is himself afraid not
to respond to the demands of the gov
ernor. Therefore, thl^ ridiculous ,11-]
vision ot authority and responsible
ties.
"So far as a ;ty .statement of his
that does not ahsolvtt foe in the maS
tor, my answer is: That whatever
responsibilities of office deceive* npoif
me. they are created by law. It ia
neither his to bind nor Who; I art
performing my <lut/ as I see it, anA

as President of the Civic 1 >eaguc 1
hojM? it II ? of you read my hiiiiuuI re
|K?rt of our work In The Chronicle. I
vvUh to (hunk our efficient rice Presi

duties and I he ineml>orn, one and all,
fur their support am) enthusiastic
work during in^ftbsence. I al?o wish
to thank Mrs. N. it. (ioodale ami Mrs.
Parrlsh for representing us ho worthily
at Conference
I helieve In rot it Inn in office ami
think that often linn's new officers
bring ahuut new hleas, new interestH,
ami new enthusiasms In an organiza
tion. I would have resigned last year
hut wished to complete the work of
the Public Library which I had begun.
Tiie time is rl|?e for some one else to
lake in.v place. I have given the
League hIx years of my life ? my brain,
my heart, uiy time. Six years ago the
League consisted <>f six ladies appoint
ed from the six wards to assist Mayor
Prank Zemp and the Park Committee.
Our growth has been wonderful ? (18
names being on our membership list
and we have had the sympathy and en
couragement of almost all of the citi
zens of the town, lint we must keep
on progressing and growing until all
tin? women of the town are members
<>f our League.
Mayor Yates complimented us the
other day by calling us "the most rcp
rosH'Uatlve and important body of wo
men in the eity." I feel we have jus
titled our motto: "By their work?, y?^
shall know them."
Since joining the Federation, the
.scope of our work has enlarged to
such an extent that we are now like
a city federation of clubs. The work
bus Increased accordingly and we must
now sub divide It- so that the incom
ing president will have less to do.
In looking over my 'letter flies I And
I have written since last fall 35 letters
to Federated Club, members and oth
ers; .?{(> to Messrs. Somjwrae ami Wll
son and architects about Library; 10
to others concerning Libraries and
1.1 to Carnegie Foundation to procure
Library; 00 In all. I am glad to re
port the plans of the Library are now
Iti the hands of contractors, bids close
May 121, and our Library Is no longer
a dream, hut a reality.
Sonn^f these Library letters bad to
^be nunlej.il duplicate, or triplet and all
typewritten^ Even during my Illness
our faithful Recording Secretary, after
teaching hours, would come for me to
dictate letters which she would type
write in duplicate and return next
day. While 1 was away Mr. von Tresc
kow took my dictations and did type
writing and correspondehce.
In laying aside my office I would
make the following recommendations:
That we sub-divide the League into
different heads, the chairman of each
department to rei*ort once a month at
JLeagne meeting, the President of. tlie
League to be ex -officio member of all
departments;. ' C ?
1. Civic work proper (parks, trees,
Civic improvement, assist Chamber of
Commerce, procure district nurse and
health week.)
2. Library Association.
3i Junior Civic League (to train
young people in Civic work.)
4. Rest Room Committee.
5. Home Economics (sanitary foods,
canning elubs, curb markets; "confer
With Chamber of Commerce and health
depa rt motif. )
fi. Educational (needs of schools,
confer with parents and teachers, visit
school once a month.)
7. Flower and Seed Exchange (ex
Change plants and seed flowers to Hos
pital, i
S. Entertainment Committee.
0, .. Publicity Department (scrap
book, year hook, publishing articles in
pni>ers. >
We have been doing most, of this
work heretofore, hut Is hasJ>ecome too
heavy for one president to undertake
and an efficient corps of officers and
chairmen must assist her.
? The Civic T<eague is like no other or
ganization In town. We have no sects
^we must know no other creed but to
i|ove our neighbor as ourselves, our
patriotism is not shown In the erect
ing of monuments to the dead, but in
making our town and country a better
place to live in. We have no age
limit ? the youngest _,to the oldest can
assist. We need no record of past
achievements of ancestors to permit of
Membership, for we live and work for
the present and future. We need no
SOeial feature to bind us together for
we all have the common good at heart.
We can paraphrase and say;
We live for those around us.
For those whose lives are true,
.For the heaven that smiles above us.
And the good that we can do.
Let remember "in unity there" is
strength " Fraternally jours,
