URGES Law ENFORCEMENT.
WIRES MAYOR PRO TEN VIII.
LIAMS REGARDING SITUA-
TTON IN CHARLESTON.
Anxious TO See Results, but Governor
Hopes it Won't be Necessary for
Him to Interfere in Local Affairs.

Columbia, March 3.-"Owing to
Mayor Grace's illness, and uncertain ty
as to how long he will be detained
from office, I am calling on you and
city officials to enforce law against
liquor selling, gambling and other
violations. Please advise your deter
mination and when 1 may expect re-
suits" said Gov. Richard I. Manning,
in telegram to Mayor Pro Tenn Hen
ry p. Williams, of Charleston, made
public at the governors office to-
night.
Mayor Graces favorable condition
indicates early return to duty. In the
meantime have instructed police OFF,
cials to enforce all laws will be out
Of the city until tomorrow evening""
was the reply of the mayor pro tenn
Of Charles ton to the governor. Both
kilograms We're under date of March
II.
The governor, in making public the
kilograms, indicated a strong desire
to see the city officials Of Charleston
enforce the laws without interfer-
ence from him. He said that he was
giving earnest consideration to the
situation in Charleston and that he
hoped the mayor and city officials
would enforce every law. He stated
that after his telegram to Mayor
Grace. some days ago, protesting
against the programme OF the mayor,
as published, on law enforcement the
mayor had abrogated the pro-
gramme. The Charleston executive, the
governor said, had asked for q con-
ference with him. and a date had been
set for the mayor to come to Column
bia to see him. but that this was pre-
vented by the illness Of the mayor.
He stated that on the request of the
mayor he had let matters stand,
awaiting the mayors recovery, but
now feels that he has waited long
enough and desires to see some re-
suits.
II want the local officials to en-
force the laws" said the governor,
who then added significantly, "and l
expect results"
The governor sent a letter to May
or Grace, in which he quoted the tele-
gram to Mayor Pro Tenn Williams,
and wished for the mayor q speedy
recovery.
Sheriff J. Elmore Martin, Of Char
lesion, wrote Gov. Manning that ne
is active in suppressing violations of
the law. He made a statement to
the governor on the results Of his eff
forts along this line.
| The governor is Watching the situa-
tiOn not only in Charleston, but
throughout the State, and is doing
| all in his power to persuade and in
duce local officers to see that the law
is not violated. He is, however.
earnest in his determination to see
that the laws are enforced.
The situation in Berkeley county
as regards law enforcement is encour-
aging, according to reports to Gov.
Manning from Sheriff Causey, who
gave detailed statement Of his ac-
tivities.
Gov. Manning believes in the local
! officials doing their duty without
interference on his part but he is in
sistent that there shall be law en-
forcement. He was elected on this
platform last summer and IS deter
mined to redeem his promises to the
people.
