Columbia. -May 19.?Governor Manning this morning broke his silence regarding law enforcement in the city of Charleston, and gave out a statement to the effect that he had appointed constables and placed them under Sheriff Martin to suppress the illicit sale of liquor in the city of Charleston. The constables have already begun raiding, and the governor is holding the sheriff to a strict accountability. . "I told Sheriff .Martin," says the statement of the governor, "that the responsibility was mine and that 1 expected a strict compliance by him and his men." This was the first public statement of the governor on the situation since his letter to .Mayor Grace of Saturday. in which he said the report of Chief of Police Cantwell on the places alleged to have quit the liquor business as a result of the raids by the city police was "erroneous and mis ieaamg. Governor's Statement. The statement issued by the governor follows in full: "Saturday I wrote the following letter to Sheriff J. Elmore Martin. Charleston: "I require and direct you as sheriff of the county of Charleston to enforce the laws with reference to the sale of liquors in the city of Charleston as well as in the county of Charleston. You will please confer with me in regard to the force you think necessary. 1 want results.' "To enable him to do this work I decided to furnish him with a few constables, as his regular deputies were not enough to do this additional work. I expect hint to direct the movements of these constables, and to see that they do their duty. "This will in no way absolve the municipal authorities from "enforcing the law against the illicit sale of liquor in their city. Heretofore it has be'en a custom in Charleston to divide "Aimfv hotwf>f>n the municioal au-I IHC \,vuui; i/vv . thorities and the sheriff, the police having charge of the city, the sheriff having charge of the country districts. I would be disposed to conform to this custom if conditions resulting from such a division had been satisfactory. "The act authorizes and conditions make it necessary that this arrangement be changed. It was. therefore, on that account I requested and required Sheriff Martin to see that | these constables under his direction j to their duty in suppressing the illicit sale of liquor in the city as well as in the country. I told Sheriff Martin that the responsibility was mine, and that I expected a strict compliance by him and his men and that they should proceed to carry out my instructions. "I took this step as I was forced to the conclusion that permanent results were not being obtained in Charleston." Final Question. occ' CoL'O CT&t tVl fjlii, 1U1 ?uuv, gvb kids to bed." grumbled Jenkins, who had vainly tried to settle down for a quiet five minutes. The young Jenkinses went aloft, and there seemed some prospect of peace until Harold, the eldest, who had been allowed half an hours' grace, began butting in with his ridiculous queries. "What on earth do you want now?" demanded the harassed parent, as he desperately flung down the paper. "Well, dad, did Adam only have one name?" "Of course he did. Now look here, any more silly questions and you go to bed. too. my son." "Yes. pa, but can't 1 ask a little bit more about that question?" "Go on with it," said the patient pa. "And. mind, this is the very last." "Well, was Adam his first name or his last name?"?Buffalo Enquirer. His Definition of Water. Upon the eve of the annual meeting of the Kentucky Educational as SOCiauon, auomer mui ? v>i ure lie schools may become amiss, says the Louisville Times. This is one that is said to have happened at the Washington school where part of the original work was definitions of familiar things: "Johnny Jones, what is water?" asked the teacher. For the moment Johnny was stumpped. Only for a moment, though, for he triumphantly answered. "Water is what turns black when you put your hands in it." Too Literal. A tradesman in a certain town put a box outside the shop one day labeled. "For the Blind." A few weeks afterward the box disappeared. "Halloa! What's happened to your box for the blind?" he was asked. "Oh. I got enough money," he, replied. "and," pointing upward to the new canvas blind that sheltered his shop window, "there's the blind. Not bad, is it?"?London Answers. MOXKY AT YKISY LOW KATK. Loan of SOOO.<?<)(> to National Hank of Sumter.?Hate Only I'er Cent. Columbia. May I'l.?The State of South Carolina today borrowed $60". urto at 2.69 per cent interest per annum from tlie National Bank of Sumter to meet the running expenses of the State government until taxes come in. This is the lowest rate of interest ever secured by the State. The money is available at once. It is to be repaid in January out of the taxes. The loan is accounted a great stroke for Governor .Manning and one of the many beneficient results of his administration. This act alone will save thousands of dollars to the taxpayers of South Carolina. The loan was awarded to the National Bank of Sumter by the financial board of the State, which is composed of Governor .Manning, Comptroller General Sawyer and State Treasurer Carter. The Sumter bank was the lowest of several bidders. The following bids were submitted: National Bank of Sumter. Sumter, 2.69 per cent.; Palmetto National Bank, of Columbia, 2.75 per cent; Bank of Spartanburg, 2.S9 per cent: i-> !_ ? v-?,;???i RonV of PooW Hill f-eujj 1C ? . > a l lUiiai V4 , 3 per cent: Bank of Columbia, 3.64 per cent: Bank of Charleston, X. B. A., 3.75 to 3.95; Farmers' Loan and Trust company, of New York. 4 per cent. These rates of interest are for one year. Lowest on Hecor<k The rate of 2.69 per year is the lowest ever secured by the State, the lowest heretofore having been 3 per cent., which was secured once during the administration of Governor Ansel and once during the administration of C. L. Blease. The State last year during the summer under C. L. Blease borrowed $350,000 to meet the running expenses of the State, for which they paid 3 1-2 per cent, interest, and last fall under C. L. Blease the State borrowed $110.000, for which they paid 6 per cent. It is interesting to note that the money borrowed last fall under the Blease administration cpst 6 per cent, while the money borrowed today under Governor .Manning costs only 2.69 per cent. There is rejoicing at the low rate of interest at which the loan for the State was secured and many are congratulating Governor .Manning, Comptroller General Sawyer and State Treasurer Carter, and are felicitating the people of the State on having i such a jwise business administration at the helm. "It just shows what j benefifits are going to accrue to the i tion," was the comment of one obl tion," fas the comment of one observer here today. 'The National Bank of Sumter, w'nich secured the loan, is one of the stable financial institutions of the Pee-Dee. Its president is J. P. Booth, who succeeded Governor Richard I. Manning as president when the latter resigned just prior to coming to Columbia to assume the governorship. JUICY FINDS FOR ROOSEVELT. After 42 Hours Consideration Twelve Men Decide Barnes Not Libelled. Syracuse. X. Y., May 22.?Twelve men chosen as a jury to determine whether Theodore Roosevelt libelled William Barnes when he charged that he worked through a "corrupt alliance between crooked business and crooked politics" and that he was "pnrrnntiv allied with Charles F. .Murphy, of Tammany Hall." today, returned a verdict in favor of the former president. In the belief ot the jury everything Col. Roosevelt said about the former chairman of the Republican State committee was true and. therefore, Mr. Barnes was not libelled. The verdict was returned after forty ballots had been taken and the jury had considered for 42 hours the evidence which was presented during five weeks of the trial. Nineteen hours were consumed before eleven of the jurymen, who since the second ballot had stood together, persuaded Juror No. 11?Edward Burns, a Syracuse motorman. and a Republican? to join with them in returning a verdict which Col. Roosevelt later declared to be "typically American." For eleven of this nineteen hours the jurors in favor of an uncondiI tional verdict for the defendant talked to the one who. while himself favoring a similar verdict, insisted that the court costs and disbursements should be divided between the Mvn nrin finals A Mean Trick.
