Abbeville UIAULKSTOYM ATTITUDE TO LAW OliSEHVAM'E. Charleston lia? some ino^t peculiar views as to law enforcement. Tlx idea scents to prevail there that what is good law lor any other community of South Carolina i.; poor law for the "City by Ihe Sea." Tho wonder of it is that Charleston so un bluahlngly adtnitfl that she is not obeying tho law; that she knows it and that she will not try to obey any law which does no) null tin; "peculiar condi tions" down there. Tho city does not stop and think that what renditions there are In Charleston have been caused by '.ho open and llugrant viola tion of Inw which violation is with the knowledge and consent of tho officials whoso sworn duty It is , to enforce them. Had there been a greater res pect for law there in the past tho community would by now have learned :;ome of the lessons \jf obed ience (o law because it is law and not because it is not some legislative act made to suit tho peculiar fancies of the people down there. Tho most open aud 111 advised announcement made yet of the intention of the city authorities to Indulge tho proclivities of the citizens there to dis obey all law. Is contained In an open, shall wc say, proclamation, made in the Charleston Evening Tost, by Mayor Graco. Ho states that Governor Manning has called his attention to "ullogcd vio lation of law In this city." After enumerating ionic of the unlawful rules which he as mayor has pro mulgated, admitted by him to be In violation of the law. Mayor Grace slates: ''Governor Manning Is by no means satisfied with nor does he accept the rules above laid down as a full compliance with his IdeaB of law enforcement." We should say not. It, therefore, seems that as Mayor Graco Is not going to do anything to secure law enforcement in CharleBlon that Governor Manning will be forced to stop in and set; that the laws of the State arc obeyed even In Charleston. Thin will require drastic measures, and will djubtlcss be unpleasant and unpopular for Governor Manning in Charles ton, but wc do not believe that he will shrink from I the task. So It occurs to ub that Charleston Is likely to get a first lesson In obedience to law. If such bo tho program mapped out by the governor, he will have the hearty support of all the people who respect law and order anywhere In South Carolina and elsewhere. It will also be a good lesson for Charleston, and will do the city good. It Is in credible that there should be a law applicable to every other section of the Slate that would nut be good for Charleston. The same kind of people live there ns live in other sections, they cat the same kind of food and breathe the same air, they speak Mie same language and wear the sarao kind of -lollies, they read the aanu- bookB and discuss tho ?amo topics. Wc arc In favor of giving them, there fore, tho same laws as the rest of the State is pro gressing on and growing by. Mayor Grace's Ideas and rules aro bo very uniquo and Ingenuous that we arc appending them to this editorial and wIbIi that our readers should Beo the kind of thought that is in the ascendancy In South Carolina's mctroplis and sea port. Yet thoro aro people there who do not seem to understand why Charleston In "outof jonlt" with thereat of the State. Mayor Graco'B statement follows: "Governor Manning has called my atten tion very sharply to alleged violations of law In the city, and has stated that unless drastic rttepB are taken at once to stop these viola tions, Charleston must be prepared for a rather strenuous program. I agree thai the law hi nut fully respected In many par ticulars in this community: Dut Charleston Is no worse than any other city upon which odious Inws havo been Imposed by those cither misunderstanding er not carin** about cosmopolitan habits and conditions. There- 1 fore I have mado earnest efforts to bring tho legislature to a proper conception of our problems, hoping that sensible laws might bo passed which all good cltlzcnB can join In obeying nud seeing obeyed. Unfortunately while wo have made a great Impression and much progress with the legislature now sit ting, wo havs again failed to get relief. Dut the future Is full of hope. In tho meantime, and especially now under the mandates of Governor Manning. 4 feel It my duty to rc p?uMBii tho following rules,'which tho police department will more vigorously follow, be- ' ginning March 1: "1. The closing of blind tigers at 13 o'clock and on Sundays. "2. 3anlshmont of slot machines and all forms of mechanical gambling. "3. The closing of turf exchanges, and the prevention of hand books In that connection. "4. The suppression of lotteries. ? "G. Tho shutting off of illuminated signs which lead to places of lawlessness; "?. Tho absolute prevention v>f liquor sel-, ling to boys (and especially those In school uniforms) and to men when they reach a cer tain stage of intoxication. "7. Tho measurable restriction of houses of 1)1 fame and assignation. "It will be recalled that these are practical ly the ruler, twice herotoiore promulgated and sporadically enforced until by tho inter vention of compelling Influence, they were rendered more or lesq nugatory. I under stand now that It is Governor Manning's in - tentton to prevent henceforth a repetition of those influences, "Governor Manning is by no means satis- - fled with nor does- he accept the rules- abovo laid down a full compliance with his ideas of law enforcement. Um I have assured him ,. that under all the circumstances in Charles ton, If I can carry them ont, it will be as far, H\ for the present, ns It is humanly practicable to go. - "Of course;he. would-like to see the en forcement l? Charleston of every law on the " statute hooks; So would I. That Is a very high Ideal? but, like every other ideal, alto- , ' gether unattainable ; especially when some of our statute law Is in downright opposition to an almost universal sentiment I believe that tho mind a and hearts of 90 per cent of our people will instantly accept the forego ing program as reasonable and therefore en forceable, which Will be a far better condi tion to achieve than hy any more extreme ef forts to plonge the whole community into a A?tat? Of turmoil and hopeless outlawry." I h'fH\'Aw.-**:C-tttf ! ; .-.<! yrii'.v I ... A STATE AGENT YOU MILL WORKEKS. ! It Is refreshing to have a governor who thinks uuu arts for tile best interests of tho people of the Sta;o iu whatever capacity tin y may labor. There la nothing of the demagogu?> in what Governor Manning recommends. Kor Instance he has sent the following message to the legislature, and iu response to UiIb an act has been Introduced to pro vide for a State ugent. One or tho fathers or thiB bill In the senate is Senator Sherard of Anderson County, whose course in the upper lawniaklng body is meeting with much favorable comment. The mill peops will feel gra'rful tu the legislature for thus attempting to assist ihcm iu solving problems peculiarly their own. Tho message of the governor follows: "I earnestly request tho members of your bodies lo consider seriously and pass ut this session tho bill which has been introduced und favorably reported In the house, provid ing for tho establishment of a State officer for welfare work. ThiB bill Is designed to promote the interests of our industrial vil lages, which form so Important a part of the State. How boat to benefit the people of the mill villages is a study which deserves your careful attention. This bill would, I believe, help the peuple of the villages to eolvu their problems and to improve the conditions of life under which these citizens live; it would help them to make the be?-t of their oppor tunities. The high cost of living restricts their comforts and luxuries; the leadership of a demonstrator whose heart Is in thiB work would go a long way to adding cheer to the homo life of these many thousand South Car olinians. "The bill simply provides for the appoint ment of a Stato agent, under the direction of the State department of education, whose duty Is shall be to supervise the work of local demonstrators. Tho-work has boon In effect In this State for three years under the direction of the United States department of agriculture. Recently congress passed a law which cut off tli-b appropriation. The work has greatly benefited more than a score of our mill communities and I now .earnestly ask that the State take up this work. "Our State govornmcnt has been liberal in tho matter of providing means for the im provement of our agricultural clasoes; I urge that n step now be taken to help the mill communities." -arg MANNING MAKES FITNESS THE TEST. Governor Manning's letter to Mayor Grlfllth of Columbia, declining io appoint R. L. Shu 11 as a mem ter of the Richtend County dispensary board until tho Columbia mayor has satisfied him that the appointment would be a fit one, should command tho widest approbation.. "It is my purpose," says the governor, "beforo issuing commissions to the men named on the various dispensary boards of the Stato, to get Information "atic-ht them." Then he asks three pertinent questlorta. Ho wants-to-know what T?r. Shull's past business experience has been, what his business Interests aro now and what, 1b and has been his attitude In regard to the enforce mcnt of the dispensary law. It is clear that Governor Manning moans to avoid If possible tbo naming of any*4nan to a plac? on a dispensary board whose 'appointment will not com pel public respect and confidence because of its fit ness in all respects. It la i^fbgjj-also that he Intends to require thoso who make these nominations to -3_-i -.i.i I-1_ 1 _ ? ?_???. 'vWmm in I. ~ . |_ 1j ucai v.lLil uini in aujuiuiu n BliBZlGBo, * nai .?? ca should be.

Repeated assurances from Washington, and some o fthein from as high an authori ty as the first assistant postmaster general, Mr. Roper, have been to the effect that nothing was in the way of Mr. Laughlin's being nominated oth er than unusual pressure of Impor tant business, and that his name would go before the senato within a fow days. Despite these assurances, however, the nomination has not gone forward; and Mr. Laughlin's friend ?, out of natural interest in the matter, aro anxious to know why the 'ap pointment has not been made.

(Ry Associated Press.) PICKING. Feb. 17.?The memoran dum recently Riven by the Japanese legation to American. British. French and Russian diplomatic representa tives respecting Japan's demand on China omits certain of the require ments originally presented to Pe king, if information from presum ably well Informed sources, both for eign and Chinese, Is correct. These negotiations, which hegan late In January, had for thofr object deter-, mlnation of the future status c Japan's relations with China and a de cision respecting certain questions re garding the future development of the Chinese republic. Their course hits been guarded with great, secrecy. The Peking government did not con ceal Its concern over the situation, and on February 6 Sun Poa-Chl, Chin ese foreign secretary, at a conference with.the Japanese minister at Peking, rejected Japan's proposals on the ground that they were incompatible .with 'Chinh/8 sovereignty and conflict ed' with -existing treaties between China and other foreign powers. The Japanese minister then asked for an acceptance In principle, stating that the detailed negotiations could be con ducted later. China returned the same answer as to the principles in volved. The original demands, according to Information from Peking sources, were 21 In number and were farreach ing both in their political and com mercial aspects. It is not known, whether the ori ginal demands were made orally or in a formal written communication. The memorandum as handed to the lega tions of the United States, Great Bri tain, France and Russia, is under stood to contain but 11 demands, sub stantially as follows: In relation to Shantung, China? is to transfer to Japan all rights and concessions previously .enjoyed .by Germany, and must consult Japan' on all matters previously agreed upon between Germany and China in the proTtoce; of Shantung. China, is to agree not to alienate or Te?s? Shantung or any pretext to any foreign government; and no island near Shantung is to .bp leased to any, foreign-,power. China is to grant Japan the right to construct a railroad from Kia Chow to Chi Fu. s^'-j ... Certain cities 'in-the' province of Shantuntl shall bo opened as treaty ports. 9 ln-t southern Manchuria and Mon goH?^':bBfm8 or the lease of the Kwang Tung (Port Arthur and Derlen), and the Manchurian and Mukden railroads are to be extended. ! In"'the-same region Japan is to ac quire rights of residence, ownership of land and mining grants foi her na tionals. In the same region of southern Man churia and Mongolia, the following four requests arc made: Before granting railroad conces sions to any third power China must agree to consult Japan in advance. Before endeavoring to obtain capi tal for loans from any third power China must consult Japan. Beforo choosing any foreign poli tical, military or financial advisers, China must consult Japan. : Transfer of management and con trol' of the Changchin railroad 1b to bo made to the Japanese. ? Theso requests all relate to (Mon golia and not to China as a-whole. ' China Is obliged not to alienate- or lease any ports or bays on any Island near the,, Formosa coast. 3 Among) the original demands not Included in the memorandum as handed to foreign legations, are said to be the following: -That if China employs foreigners a3 controlling adylsers In her police, military or financial departments Japanese shall be preferred; that one half of the ammnnltion and arms us ed by China must be purchased from Japan, or an arsenal be established in China employing Japanese experts and materials; that China, must grant to Japan the same privileges aa other nations to-establish missions, schools and. churches throughout the' country to propogate Buddhism; that mining concessions conflicting with existing concessions- at Han'ang, ' Tayeh and Ping Slang shall not be granted to other foreigners If a Chtno-Japanot>c company, hereafter to be formed, shall disapprove; that certain railroad cm-? cessions rrQm^Ttanottn*?t^ Chow Fu, ',j irto? ; r Nahchaiv/,, lo Kuklang, from Nr and from sh all Mt munlcatious to the foreign .govern ments.

Feb. 17.?Press dis patches from Peking and Tokio con cerning the Japanese demands on China attracted much interest here today, but officials . of the United States government end diplomats at the Japanese and other embasoi.es would hot discuss them. The United States government has been kept in close touch with devel opments through embassies and lega tions in Europe as well Tokio and Peking and Secretary Bryan and Am bassador Chihda are understood to have discussed the situation infor mally here. '1 ' The understanding from the best Informed sources is that the Japanese demauds us revealed to the powers, relate to certain localities and do not concern China as a whole, affecting only parts of Shantung, southern Manchuria and Inner Mongolia. The recent statement given to the press by the Tokio foreign -office and also communicated to the powers, as sured them that nothing in the Jap anese demauds interfered with the territorial integrity of China or the principle of equal opportunity in the Far East. This tended to clarify the situation which had been somewhat confused, lor foreign governments by rumors and reports of an extensive Japanese plan for commercial expan sion in China. It was said also in well informed quarters that nothing thus far had developed which had occasioned any formal inquiries from .the United States to Japan on the subject or haft raised any apprehensions that tbo ''open door" policy would be adversoly affected. erthnnv from f future, railroad^ miningrend dock nhell cohcent^.
