Fulfilling His Promises.

Some charge that Governor Manning
is playing politics by sending the depu-
ties to Charleston to close the blind
tigers. They say he is doing it in or
der to popularize himself with
the people in the up-country. We
do not agree with these critics. And
there are only few of them, we are
pleased to state. Upon every platform
throughout the length and breadth OF
South Carolina last summer Mr.. Man
ming declared himself for better en-
forcement of the laws upon the statute
books, and as early as possible after
taking the oath of office he concentra-
ted his efforts toward the ful6llment of
his campaign pledges with reference to
enforcement. Governor Manning has
not confined his efforts to ally particu-
lar section, nor has he enforced some
laws to the neglect of others. He has
proceeded upon a high, broad plane in
his efforts to perform his sworn duty
as chief executive.
Governor Manning did not adopt any
radical or unusual course in order to
better conditions in South Carolina. He
appealed to the already consti-
tuted authorities where the law
was being flagrantly violated, insisting
upon rigid and impartial enforcement
of the law. With one or two excep-
ceptions, the local authorities fell in
line and set matters to rights. One re-
calcitrant sheriff had to be removed be-
cause of his unwillingness or failure to
enforce the law.
The mayor of Charleston, after re-
peated remonstrance, made an unsatls-
isfactory effort to close the blind t.
gers, whose fragrant disregard for law
has been disgrace to South Carolina
as we'll as to Charleston. AS the mayor
failed to do his full duty, Governor
Manning very properly appealed to the
sheriff of Charleston county to take
the matter in hand, sending down some
extra deputies to assist the regular
force. 1t was this last act Of Governor
Manning that has caused some persons
to say he is playing politics. Had he
enforced the dispensary law in Colum-
bia, Spartanburg, Greenvitle and other
places, leaving Charleston to continue
her uninterrupted violation of the law
as former governors have done, then it
could have been truthfully said that the
governor was playing politics. 1t
could then have been charged that he
wants to hold the Charleston vote and
for that reason left Charleston un-
molested.
Fearlessly, impartially, and without
considering what the effect would be
upon his political career, Governor
Manning has gone steadily forward in
his efforts to improve conditions in
every section, and we feel confident
that all ht-thinking men approve of
his course. 1t is only here and there
that one hears adverse criticism, and
then it comes from a person who want
ed to see the old order of things con-
tinue in South Carolina. Let US
not cease to give thanks that we are
now under new dispensation, with
the right man at the helm of the Ship
of State.

Her Boy and the War.

The modern American mother, who
says she "didn't raise her boy to be
soldier" doesn't know what she's talk
ing about. If her country called, she
would send her boy to the front just as
proudly as her grandmother did in 81.

ACCEPTS GAME FISH; ARRESTED
Cedar Rapids Man Fined For Pos
sessine Catfish Caught by Others.


Cedar Rapids. May 12.--Deputy Fish
and Game Warden Samuel OBrien was
partly outwitted and John Kouzman
was made the victim by two clever
boys who violated the fishing laws by
catching two catfish.
Mr.. and Mrs Kouzman and their
children were walking on the river
bank and enjoyed themselves by
watching fishermen Monday afternoon.
At the same time Deputy Samuel
O'Brien was prowling about in search
of violators of the fishing law which
provides that no game fish are caught
before May Is.
Mr.. and RMS. Kouzman stopped to
watch two boys who caught two cat
fish. The boys evidently are expert in
illegal fishing. In the distance they
caught sight Of Warden O'Brien. With
an innocent expression on his face
one of the boys offered Mr.. kouzman
the two catfish as present. Not
knowing anything about fishing laws
and about Samuel O'Brien, Mr.. kouz-
man accepted the fish. He was trying
to figure why the boys took to their
heels SO suddenly when Warden
O'Brien appeared and wanted to
know about the fish.
Mr.. kouzman had many witnesses
to prove that he did not make the
catch, and Warden O'Brien was as
sured of the fact. But as II is against
the law to have illegally caught fish in
your possession. O'Brien arrested
Kouzman. In Justice Nugent's court
Kouzman pleaded guilty and was :ined
IS and costs.
