WHAT MANNING HAS DONE FOR CITY OF CHARLESTON The Change for the Better in That City is Apparent to All?This Achievement Has Been Without Boasting and in the Kindest Way. The News and Courier. It is interesting to recall, in connection with Governor Manning's announcement that in future he expects to leave to the city authorities the enforcement of the liquor laws within the city limits of Charleston, the .state of affairs which existed when the governor first sent State constables here, a little over a year ago, as contrasted with the state of affairs which exists today. Although the governor is now putting his armor off, so far as Charleston is converned, it is characteristic of him that he should indulge in no boasting as to what he has been able to accomplish for Charleston and for bouth C arolina in smashing the business and the power an<T the prestige of the blind tigers which for years had overrun this city. But the facts speak for themselves. When Governor Manning began his work the illicit liquor dealers were a dominant force, rich and bold and clothed as it were with a kind of pseudo-respectability. How different the conditions which now obtains! If it has not been possible absolutely to suppress the unlawful traffic in liquor, at least that traffic has been put where it belongs, on the run. and it is certain that under Mayor Hyde it will be kept there. The open barroom no longer flaunts itself before the community. The change which has been brought to pass is one which is apparent to all. It requires no comment. It is worth remembering now how incredulous most people were two years ago that such results could be accomplished or would be accomplished. The best of the achievement, about without any blowing of trum- ; pets or beating of drums or prejudicial outbursts of any kind or character against Charleston and the people of Charleston. At the very first Governor Manning made it plain that he had not the least desire or intention , to make war upon this city; that be , bad only the warmest friendship for Charleston; that his case was not against the city. But he made it plain also tnat he tooK very seriously the solemn pledges he had given the people of South Carolina to use all the power of his office to suppress the violation of the liquor laws in Charleston?a violation participated in by a i group which was small as compared with the total body of the citizenship, but which had made itself obnoxious to the whole commonwealth. He was fortunate in having in Sheriff" Martin an officer of unusual poise and experience and competency to see to the carrying out of his plans. The campaign has been brought to fruition with no untoward incident. Becouse of the manner in which the governor has proceeded, the Charleston situation long ago lost interest for the public in general. It lacked dramatic features. The governor might readily have provided these features, of course, and by doing so could have made enormous politic al capital for himself; but at the same time he would have done irretrievable damage to the city of Charleston, and he would have failed besides to secure the results which he has secured. Instead of the fine body of public opinion which now supports the administration of the law, the community would have been kept aflame. A bitter antagonism would have been stirred against us, and in the counter- . resentment which would have been felt localb' the merits of the situation would have been lost sight of wholly. Yet many people in other parts of the State who are now entirely indifferent to the substantial achievement which the governor has wrought for this city and for South Carolina would under the other case have acclaimed loudly the futile uproar he had raised. Noise and tumult and shouting will often, unfortunately, attract wide attention, where solid efJT t A 1 Kirt Keeiiis iciinu <iii(i (iiii i. Nevertheless, the work which Mr. Manning has accomplished in ridding Charleston of the blind timers which infect it, and to such a degree as to have become a leading issue in the politics of the State, has provided South Carolina with an exhibition which should prove useful for years to come. He has established beyond discussion that even the most difficult of laws can be enforced, quietly and effectively and with expanding benefits, if only the right man is on the job. So far as Charleston is concerned the burden of the governor's work is over. We are sure, now that it has been carried to the point which has been reached, that the citizens of Charleston who will pause to review the situation from the beginning will agree with us that the people of this city have great reason to be grateful to him for what he has spared us, as well as for what he has accomplished. He has fulfdled his promises in spirit and in letter. HERE'S HOPING. Miss Wheat, the teacher, was hearing the history lesson, which dealt with the career of George Washington. Turning to one of the scholars she asked: "James, what was Washington's farewell address?" The new boy arose with a promptitude that promised well for his answer. "Heaven, ma'am," he said.?I.ife.
