it was unconstitutional in several OF

several citizens have appealed to the
governor to inter7 enc TO allow them

However, Gov. Manning can do moth
ing and the recourse dissatisfied cit
izens can resort to is to have the law
tested in tie courts.
There seems to be very general oo-
servance of tie law, according to re-
ports received in Columbia from every
county in the State The thirsty ones
can get their gallon a month or tney
can, of course, get more from the dis

gallon is attended with grave dangers,
for the officers of tie law are keeping
a sharp watch to nab iolatcrs OF this

County Positions.

The appointments for magistrates
and county positions take up much OF
the time OF the governor, for it fire.
uuently happens that local divisions
are so fierce that it is impossible to
get at the true situation without pro-

with opposing factions. This case is
we'll illustrated in the matter Of the
county dispensary board for Barnwell
county and the clerk Of court for
Greenyille county. The governor IS

and con, for Harry A. Dargan, whom

pointment has been held up indefinite

MANY OVER TASTY
IN ASKING FOR JOBS
DISAPPROVES DISRESPEGI SHOWN
BEFORE OFFICIAL Is DEAD
The Fact That Man is an Applicant
is Almost Surety He Will Not
Get Place.
News and Courier.


Columbia, March 19.-"It is fa2s
that in some instances when an OF
ficer died some people make applica-
tions for the vacancy before the dead
nan is buried" said Governor Man
ming tonight, in commenting in terms
of strong disapproval on what is called
by some lack of proper respect which
some office-seekers exhibit in their
eagerness to obtain office. The gov
ernor's displeasure has been aroused
over this in more than one instance,
and he is shocked at those guilty OF
such conduct.
The flood of applicants for county
offices witch are vacant or which
there is ground to believe will become
vacant, continues unabated. Several
hare applied for appointment as
sheriff of Kershaw county, supposedly
because of tie publication OF the order
CT the governor for Sheriff Huckabee
to show cause WY he should not be
removed from Office because OF alleged
failure to enforce the liquor laws.
Fifteen applications have come in for
the office of coroner Of GreenVille
county, but upon inquiring into this
matter it was found that the Green
Vile coroner is still hale and hearty.
He is reported, however, to have got
ten into some trouble, and possibly
his fifteen fellow citizens t. ought there
would be a vacancy in the office. A
great many are applying for the Of
flee OF sheriff of Abbe7ille county since
Sheriff Lyon has been named United
! States marshal for tie western dis
F., trict of South Carolina
Let Office Seek Man.
1t is very plain that when it comes
to making appointments Gov Richard
|. Manning is following tie rule OF
making t Office hunt the man. In
ether words, there is no use to "ap-
ply" for a position, for the very fac
t: at one is an applicant almost guar
antees that he will not get the place.
The men named on the State tax
commission, asylum regents, old SOL
diers' come, State house and grounds
commission, the State board of chari-
I ties and corrections and the fish COM
mission were not applicants. They
were rendered tie appointment by the
governor after he had satisfied himself
they were worthy and efficient, and
| t ey accepted the places. On the state
board OF accountants two of the ap-
pointees were noRapplicants, while the
third was, and with this single eXcep-
ton not single applicant for appoint
ment on these responsible boards land
ed. While there has been no official
announcement, il is very clear that
'ithere is no use to apply when 1t IS
known that appointments Of positions
of Statewide Importance are under
; consideration.
Of course, when it comes to county
matters the governor varies somewhat
! from this rule and,he relies in a ma
jority of instances, probably. cn the
legislative delegation. However, he
does not restrict himself to this, but
frequently goes outside and picks a
man whom he thinks will fl! the posi-
ton efficiently and then tenders MIN
tie place.

Legislative Mistakes.

IN reference 10 mistakes maze III
acts passed by the last general assem-
bly,, in regard to which there is much
discussion, a gentleman familiar with
legislative matters, had this to say:
when member of the general as
sembly desires to have bill drawn.
he outlines it TO solicitor. The So
licitor draws it in the rough and
hands it to a young lady in the en-
crossing department, who copies the
bill The solicitor t&en reads it and
marks On it, correct" and signs his
name The bill then goes into the
house or senate, and takes it's usual
course, and if passed by both houses,
with or without amendments, goes back
into the engrossing department and
is enrolled for ratification. The So
licitor ucen takes it and reads it over
with the clerk or some one else, AMI
puts on the back of it the following:
Read and found correct and properly
enrolled for ratification. The bill
then goes back to the i.cuse in which
it originated and is placed in the hands
of tie committee on enrolled acts. The
J members of that committee read it and
4 compare it with the original, and re-
,port it correctly enrolled and ready
39or ratification Then it is ratified,
y being signed by the speaker of the
iouse and the president of the senate.
Then it goes to the governor for sig
nature, and the governor is supposed
| to, read it. Now, when it has passed
through all these channels, now can
the blame for mistake be laid upon
young lady clerk?
"The following will be found on

ary 20, 1915, under the head, Report
