It muy upiHMir like threshing old straw, hut as ho many <|uentlOhH have been asked about thin particular inaf ter it may not be out of place Just now to nay that the members of the State Press AHHociation were profoundly im- ] preHHed with the 'rein ark a before that body I ant Wednesday liy (Jovernor Richard I. Manning. In a conversational manner, and with evident earnestness and frankness, the governor outlined certain matters in IiIh administration and asked the help of the press In making of them a suc cess. He apoke at Home length of the Hi I nor violations in Charleston and de clared calmly but resolutely that he could, have the laws enforced there or would cxhuust every process of law before he gave It up. The thing, however, which most im pressed them embers of the association, was the governor's decla rat ion of poli cy with inference to the Hlate lloa-. pltal for the Insane. lie declared that he had yls|tted the asylum, the peniten tiary and Home of the chain gangs and he was forced to make the solemn admission that Inmates pf the asy lum were n<W treated as well as the luisoners of the state. This matter weighed heavily upon his heart. When he had determined upon a definite policy, to offer Improved con ditions to these unfortunates and to remedy their condition, he had to llnd a man whom he could trust to put his policy Into* operation and to Im prove the conditions at the hospital, lie believes that in l)r. Williams he has found the man who can bring or der out of the chaotic condltlous that existed. It Is a big work and there Is risk in it for the man who undertakes It. Mk Manning made it plain that if ULr._WiK llams does not produce results the gov ernor will littd a man who will?but lie declared that Dr. Williams had al ready saved more, than his salary and at the same time had elevated rather than had lowered. the standard of the institution. Mr. Manning stated with deep earnest ness which carried Its conviction that he had found the salary paid by tin? state Inadequate for the purpose of securing the services of the man he needed, ayd he had been forced by cir cumstances to offer a larger salary. He is now paying I)r. Williams $250 a month out of his )>ersonal funds, and would appreciate it if the State of South Carolina should reimburse him, but if it does not, then it would be a gratification to the governor to know that he had contributed this amount to the benefit of the suffering inmates of the State hosltal, the un fortunate, helpless wards of the State <?f South Carolina. ' ,As a politician Mr. Manning has been a disappointment to some of his friends. He Is accused of always mak ing "breaks," which retpiire explana tion. ? llut after that statement at Chick Springs the friends who had been disposed to fear that the.governor might have nuid-e a political blunder, i were gratified to know that he had j done- a courageous and manly act. re gardless of (he consequences to his political fortunes, and has measured up to iii, > high standard of manhood expected <>t ;i governor of this good and pri.ud old state. If .he accom plishes reforms. Improvements and ad \ anceinent at the state hospital, the achievement will be notable to such a degree that the method used will be proved to be economical in the end. Hut what the people of the- state now demand is eflicieucx and service and the future must show If Mr. Man ning has acted wisely. That he has acted honestly and with out regard for consequences to himself < veryone must believe who has heard his statement.-? Columbia Record. ?iovernor Manning held n eonfeivmv with W. II.

How It Is Done In Wartime In Deep and Shallow Water#. Cutting submarine cables In wartime Is by no means su easy a Job as It sounds. Briefly the method Is as follows: The cruiser detailed for t^ie work steams slowly at right angles ro the cable route, dragging ufter.her a special kind of grapnel, like u Ave pronged anchor with shears uttached. which grip and cut the table at the same time. This grapnel Is counectpd with the cable cutting ship by a strong rope formed of strands of steel and hemp interwov en, and attached to which is an instru ment called a dynamometer, that shows when the cable is hooked. By steaming once or twice backward and forward the cable can be cut in two places at, say, half rf mile apart, and" the severed portion can then be dragged a?wuy by another kind, of non cutting grapnel and left lying on the ocean bed at some distance away, where It Is. of course. Impossible to lo cate It. rendering any attempt to re pair the damage a very difficult and laborious operation. Such is the usual method adopted for destroying an enemy's cable In com paratively shallow seas. In the case of ocean cables submerged at great depths, however, the mode of proced ure Is somewhat' different. ? .A similar five pronged grapnel la psed, but It is a taoncuttlng one and simply grips the cable, holding it fast The fact that it has been hooked is, of course, notified to those on board by the dynamometer, when the ship Is immediately stopped and the cable hoisted up toward the surface^ It never reaches the surface, how ever, for presently the lifting strain becomes too great, the cable snaps of it? own accord, and, the two ends fly ing wide apart, the severed cable set tles back to the ocean bottom oblique ly, leaving a gap of possibly a thou sand yards or more between the por tions.?
