of those who were disloyal and that
le.the only purpose of the bill.
"It had been hoped." rented Rep
reeeatattve Clerk, that no attempt to
rases sectional prejudice would ever
again be made upon tkle floor. It has
remained for the gentleman from Win
coast a when brotherly love Is the con?
trolling spirit throughout the nation
to dig Into this cesspool and attempt
to create feeling on the floor of this
"We are cltlsen* as true to the flag
add as loyal to this country es he or
any of the people whom he repre?
sents . . . .The gentleman says It Is
loot to demand the payment ot an
honest debt. The government took
the property, they sold it end put the
proeeedo lato the treasury and kept
the money as a trust fund for years.
Ever since the fNxty-nlnth congn
tho claimants have been knocking at
the door of congress and seeking, not
payment, but the poor privilege of go?
ing Into e federal court and letting
the Jodgee appointed by the president
say whether their claims ought to

Minority Leader Mann replied that
It wee not the Republican side that
Injected sectionalism but the Demo

reported the bill to the house. Al?

Representative Hojpln of Alabama
resented what he cafteo) "this uncalled

"I do not eehsv^" he seid, "that
there is another man on that side of

endured the hardihtpg and privations
Si war tor what they believed was
right, the herdshl!? of reconstruction, ,
rfving faithfully by the compact made,
by Lee and Jrant at Appomattox.
"They settled forever the question of
secession, that never wag settled ex?
cept by this word. At this time, when
this side Is seeking to have, a Just
settlement of claims, nobody should
Inject such a Question into this de
bete ar the gentlemen from Illinois
(Mr. Mann) has done. Let these mat?
ters be tried on their merits, but let
no such vulgar and slanderous at?
tacks as that made by him be heard;
on the floor qf this, house. And I
want to sey In conclusion that nobody
but a coward end vulgarian would use
that language hete."
Mr. Byrnes of South Carolina made i
an Impassioned plea for the return of
this money and said that If the federal
government ever meant to do the
right thing the stirt should be made
now.

i+n, W. Dick In Richmond Talks
olfiomh Carolin? Politics.
-
Kichmono ^imes-Despatch.
. Richard L Manning has met with
[?great success in his administration,
and will be re-elected governor of
South Cai-oilna, according to Dr. Qeo.
W. Dick, xt Sumter, S. C, a close per?
sonal and political friend of the gov?
ernor.
Dr. Dick brought his wife here; for
special treatment at St. Elizabeth's
Hospital.
He talked interestingly yesterday of
conditions in South Carolina under the
present governor. 1
Dr. Dick served several terms in
the South Carolina general assembly,
and was chairman of the ways and
mean's committee of the house, He
was also one of the men who direct?
ed the campaign which resulted in
Mr. Manning's election as governor In
1*14.
"Law enforcement was one of the
paramount issues in the campaign of
1914, and" was strongly championed by
Inj-. Manning," he said. "He has car?
ried out his promise to enforce the
lav/ and today there is more rever?
ence and respect for law and order in
South Carolina as a result of the
stand of Oov. Manning. The results
are apparent in the large number of
convictions secured by the solicitors
la?t year as reported by them to the
attorney general. Just to mention the
changed conditions in Charleston will
be sufficient to show what the gov?
ernor has acocmplished In law en?
forcement.
?'When he went Into office Charles?
ton was full of blind tigers, and It
had been impossible to secure even a
true bill from the grand Jury against
tho blind tiger. Governor Manning
took charge of the situation and sent
a squad of deputies to assist Sheriff
M-.rtin in enforcing tho law. As a
result, the blind tigers are practically
out of business, and last fall more
than fifty of them were indicted and
convicted in tho circuit court. The
presiding Judge, Mendel U Smith, one
of the most patriotic men in the
State, fined the tigers and put them
all under suspended sentences. There
is today a healthy sentiment in Char?
leston for observance of the law.
"In Columbia and other places
throughout the State the illicit sale of
whiskey has disappeared, for they all
know that Qov. Manning is really in
earnest, and will exhaust his resources
in law enforcement.
"Gov. Manning has been fortunate
in having a legislature in sympathy
with his program of constructive
measures and in ent're accord with
his administration, and as a result,
much progressive legislation has found
ita<way. on the statute books.
,lt would be Impossible to give all
or> these measures, but the following
aro-some of the most Important:
'''Compulsory school :4.tendance,
State Tax Commission to revise and
equalize tax assessments, State Board
of Charities and Corrections to super?
vise all penal and charitable Institu?
tions, reorganizing and modernizing
tlje State Hospital for the Insane, cre?
ating; a State Board of Conciliation to
setjtle; all disputes between employer
and. employee, increasing the child
labor age limit from twelve to four?
teen years, providing for the teaching
of agriculture in the public schools of
the rural districts, the Tor re na system
of land registration, and extending, the
appropriation for the public schools..
/'Gov, Manning- has taken great In
tcjresi in and. given much help to the
State warehouse system for the stor?
ing, grading and marketing of cotton.
He 1 as been much interested in and
given his assistance to the means of
enabling the farmer to borrow money
On his cotton at low rates of Interest.
"The governor has also devoted
much attention to rural credits, and in
his recent annual message urged the
general assembly to pass a rural cred?
its bill. He hopes, if re-elected, to
get some -rural credits measure
through, which will enable the 35,
000 white tenant farmers In South
Carolina to become home owners.
"Gov. Manning has reorganised the
militia, which waa disrupted through
the way the former governor played
politics. Adjutant General Moore has
received the unqualified support of the
governor in bringing the militia of
the State to the high state of efficiency
which it now enjoys. .
"As an evidence of the value of
having a business man at the head of
the State government, it might be
noted that last fall the State floated
8 large short t,erm loan at an interest
rate of 2.44 per cent, and Just* recently
has the State been able to refund 14,
800,000 4 1-2 per cent, bonds at 4 per
cent., thus saving to the taxpayers of
South Carolina $24,000 per annum in
interest."
NEWS FROM COLUMBIA.
Columbia, March 2,?Arrangements
are being made for the annual meet?
ing of the South Carolina Life Under?
writers' Association, to be held In Co?
lumbia April 11 to 13. Two speakers
of national reputation in the insurance
world have accepted invitationa to at?
tend the meeting and deliver address?
es.
Reports received at the adjutant
general's office show that twenty-four
men from this State will attend the
military training camp at Fort Ogle
thorpe, Ga? which begins in April.
Many Inquiries are being received
concerning the camp.
REPORTS OF SOLICITORS.
Enforcement,
Columbia-. Feb. 28.?That the senti?
ment of the people of the State has
undergone a great change in favor of
tie enforcement of law is clearly
shown by an examination of the re?
ports of the solicitors, as contained.
In the report of the attorney general
to the general assembly,
i During1 1914, 2,591 cases were re?
ported. Of this number there was a
total of 1,634 convictions, or 63 per
cent. During 1916 a total of 3,210
cases were reported, with 2,121 con?
victions, or 66 per cent. The increase
in cases brought to trial in 1916 over
1914 ia 619, or 24 per cent This in?
crease in the number of cases brought
to trial is accounted for by reason of
the fact that the peace officers of the
State have been encouraged In their
work for the enforcement of law, be?
cause of the fact that they were back?
ed up in their work by public senti?
ment, which sentiment was expressed
inj the election of Gov. Manning, who,
during his campaign, expressed the
determination to enforce all laws.
The governor has made it clear to
the officers that he wtll back them up
In the performance of their duties In
enforcing the laws.
,That the governor has made good
his promise to enforce the. law. is
clearly shown in the reports from the
solicitors The increase in the num?
ber of cases brought to trial, and
the convictions had. do not indicate
more violations of law, but rather that
the violators are certain of punlsh
| ment under the present administra?
tion.

Sinking Fund Commission Tehee Ac?
tion Toward Refunding Part of
State Debt.
Columbia, March f.?A resolution*
was passed at a meeting of the sinking
fund commission * yesterday to call in
the brown consol bonds of 4 1-2 per '
cent. April 1, when new ones will be
issued to take their place. This step
follows the recent action of the com- .
mission in authorising the issuance of '
bonds for the refunding* of approxi?
mately $4,800,0OD in State bonds out?
standing.
For the first time, acting under the
statute of 1912, the legislature at Its
recent session appropriated 126.000
as an accumulative sinking fund, for
the retiring of the new issue of bonds
It has also been pointed out that as
a result of the bond issue about $1,
600,000 will be placed on trie tax
books) that has hitherto escaped tax
