LOCAL OFFICERS SUFFICIENT.
GOV. MANNING WRITES SHERIFF
THAT HE MUST ENFORCE
LAW.
Officer Does not Think That He Can
Enforce the Law i'm His County, and
Executive Replies That He Has
Power and Must See that Laws are
Obeyed.

Columbia, Feb. Gov. Richard l.
]. Manning is determined, he says
that the laws of the State shall be
enforced, and he also hopes that each
community will attend to the en-
forcement Of the laws without his
having to appoint special constables
The sheriff Of one OF the counties
wrote Gov. Manning that he did not
see how he could enforce the law in
his county.
In reply Gov. Manning wrote:
Il note that you say that you feel
1t Is almost an impossible undertake
ing to enforce the law with local aid
Il will have to differ from you in
your view of this matter. 1 do not
see why it should be impossible for
the local authorities Of your county
to enforce tie law. All Of the corpo-
rated towns of your county have their
local organization, which should be
ample to enforce all Of the law in
that community. Each magistrate in
yeur' county has his constable, all of
whom have power in enforcing the
law. Finally, you have your deputy,
and II necessary, you have the power
to swear in extra deputies. With
this machinery in your county, as in
all other counties, 1 do not see why
the law can not be enforced.
Il expect the officers OF each To-
cality whether municipal magiste-
rial district or county, to do their
duty in enforcing the law. do not
expect. either, that these officers
should remain passive until initiative
for the enforcement of the law comes
from outside forces. Wherever the
sheriff or other peace officer knows
or suspects violation Of the law. it
should be his business to follow UP
the clue to o conclusion.
THE law should be enforced lust
as much in regard to illegal liquor
sales. gambling slot machines or any
other petty violation, the same as it
would be enforced in a case Of arson
or murder. 8.
Il trust that you will view this
matter as l do. and that you and all
other officers of your county will do
their utmost to enforce the law; that
they will not by non-enforcement
confess that they are unable to pre-
serve the law in your county.
/ nope that you will let me hear
from you at an early date on what
progress you are making in this mat
ter"

on that day at the several county

measures Of economy.
The proclamation follows:
whereas there exists conditions
which make it essential that we, with
our neighbors in the South. practice
4 strict economy in our business and
household affairs, a practice which
most Of us will find very difficult, un-
less we have given careful thought
to it or have had prior experiences
in saving; and
Whereas, it is best that we assem-
bic with our neighbors and give and
take advice on the important prob
lens OF saving and Spending money
wisely, drawing from the depths of
our own experiences and hardening
to the words of others who have
come to the assemblies with helpful
words and practical ideas, in this
way learning many things which will
be useful to us; and
Whereas, the conditions which
command us TO be frugal and to spend
our wealth with more wisdom and
fOrethought than we have ordinarily
displayed in the past are also con.
dluons that compel us to change the
fertilizer practices under which we
have been spending a large amount
Of money, much of it unwisely. for
commercial fertilizers, placing many
Of us in a position in which we re-
qHire expert advice on what fertilizers
to use this spring: and
Whereas. it appears meet and fit
ting that this question Of fertilizer
practices be discussed at those assem-
b'ies at which the questions of econ
ony are discussed;
Now, therefore, I, Richard 7. Man.
nIng' governor, do hereby designate
and set aside Saturday, February
