the essentials OF the difference which has arisen
between Governor Manning and Attorney General
Peoples can be stated In very few words ;o.-

his Office that strong right arm of the governorship
which of right It ought to be. =.
EThe Issue of vercty which has arisen between
Mr. Peoples and Governor Manning calls for no
discussion here but tho thing which stands oat Is
tho fact tha, the man who has been chosen by Mr.
Peoples his assistant has been for years the
Grst lieutenant of Governor Mannng's most in
yeterate Political enemy-his law partner hi3
campaign manager and 'his close confldant and
partisan. Political aud otherwise" to quote from
Mr.. Manninss letter. Was there any appointment
possible to Mr. Peoples better calculated to prove
embarrassing to the Manning Administration?
The Significance of this whole business is that 1t
shows to all concerned exactly where and how the
attorney generals oflce stands while South Caro-
lna Is ut the threshold of era. In all that
he says rs to his own powers and obligations Mr..
Peoples may well bc within the letter OF the law.
but Ii often happens that "the letter killeth" It
certainly docs so In such situation the present
where q governor whose policies have been clearly
marked out for him by the popular mandate finds
himself confronted in the Office TO which he has q
right to look for advice and assistance with officers
whose records proclaim, them out OF sympathy not
only with him bIt with those things FOR which he
stands.
The reelection OF Mr.. Peoples as attorney general
In the campaign last summer was recognized
iukc Whether his presence in office Will cripple
the governors activities remains TO be seen: but
in bringing to public notice this papablc effort
e:sharraea him in his work Mr Manning has made
no mistake.--The News and Courier,
