TEMPERANCE LAWS
IN SOUTH CAROLINA.
GOVERNOR MANNING CLEARLY
EXPLAINS HIS POSITION IN
REFERENCE THERETO.

REFERENCE THERETO.
Columbia, June 13:-In answer to
a letter inquiring about the Two
quart-a-month act, Governor Manning
wrote the follawing reply, which was
given out Saturday night:
Your letter of the lst was re-
ceived in the office and would have
been answered earlier but for my
continued absence and in attendance
on the Democratic national conven-
ton.
In the beginning permit me to
state that am very glad indeed that
YOUR interest in the administration
of the affairs Of government and IN
the enforcement Of law in South
Carolina is such that you feel free
to write me in reference to the two
quart bill. | am glad to have the
opportunity to advise you that my
refusal to sign this bill at the pres
ent time is purely in the interest of
TEMPERANCE in South Carolina, and
with all regard for the views of its
advocates and with great admira-
ton for their high purpose and tlne
service.
You will recall that the Legis!a-
ture at it's 1915 session passed what
is known as the Gallon-a-month act.
This same Legislature passed an act
referring the question of prohibition
! or local option to the voters of South
Carolina at a special election held in
September, 1915.
1T has been claimed by some that
there are defects in the Gallon-a-
month law. As the head of the ex-
ecutive department of the State |
would not presume to pass on this
question. That is a matter for the
judicial department. My duty is to
direct the enforcement of this act
so long as it remains on the statute
books unchanged by legislative en-
actment or judicial decision.
Il have been informed that this
law is now being testedin the courts,
and the friends of prohibition hav-
ing knowledge of this action intro
duced during the 1916 session of the
Legislature a bill intended to re-en-
act this Gallon. a-month law in such
manner as to leave no question as
TO its constitutionality. When this
bill was introduced and finally pass
ed through both houses OF the Gen.
eral Assembly good many changes
had been made in it and a number
of amendments tackled on. In fact.
the act as finally passed was widely
different, | am told, from the bill
originally introduced. When this act
came to me for my approval or dis
approval, | discussed the entire mat
ter with the authors of the bill, to-
pether with some of the leading pro-
hibitionists of the State. In addition
to the advice and counsel gained
from these gentlemen, who are very
much interested in the cause OF pre-
hibition, l received a large number
of letters from citizens in various
parts of the State urging me for va
rious reasons not to approve thls
act.
This condition confronted me:
The Gallon-a-month act was before
the courts, and this new act, If sign

SUMMER SCHOOL AT "Y"

Many students in the grammar
grades are asking for admission to
the summer school camp Of the Y. NJ.
C. A. A number are also petitioning
for entrance into the school classes
which will be held during the sum-
mer. Many Of the boys object to the
plan to give more studies after the
school year Is over, but still there are
a number who will take advantage Of
the class work as outlined by Jay A.
Urice, educational secretary of the 7.
NJ. c. A.
The work will consist of study Pc
RODS and gymnasium work in addi-
ton to the use of the pool. The an
nouncement of the opening of the sum-
mer school includes study hours from
June 26 to July 90. Following the
close of the summer school the coop
erative trade schools will be opened.

MAY ESTABLISH
FINELIBRARY AT
MIDWAY ISLAND
Central Station Would Send
Books Four Times Year; Ex-
tension Work Increasing

Midway Island, the isolated home OF
the cable operators, is to be furnished
with q library of between 40 and so
volumes four times year, IL the pres
ent plans of the extension department
of the Library of Hawaii materialize
Helen j. SteaTns, librarian OF the
islands department. says that the
library on the steamer Flaurence
Ward has been success and that an
application has been received from
Midway for the establishment of a
travelling library there. The Ward
makes four trips a year to Midway,
and it IS estimated that 40 or so books
would furnish sufficient reading mate
rial for the inhabitants of the island
between trips. A new collection Of
books would be sent to the island on
every steamer.
Since the arrival of Miss Stearns in
Honolulu the number of ira Teling
library stations throughout the terri
tory has increased from 40 to 121.
During May the library sent out ,225
volumes through the travelling libra
ries, as we'll as 40 magazines. The cir
culation for April was 2,459 and that
for May 1870. Individual libraries
are being built up for presentation to
the Kula (Maui) sanitarium and to the
settlement at Kalanpapa, Molokai.

The Islands department now main
tains libraries on the plantations, in
schools, in the individual homes of the
homesteaders, and in stores. An in
teresting library is located at Oahu
Prison, Hiss Stearns explaining that it
is surprising to note the good books
which the inmates of the prison ask
for. They like books of western sto-
ries and travel, she says.
Miss Stearns emphasizes the need of
further school libraries, there being
only 30 now In operation. She be-
| lieves that every school, in the terri
| tory should have some sort of libra
~. She also states that her depart
ment is in need of funds with which
| to purchase additional books. The
next legislature may be asked to ap.
| propriate yearly amount for this pur'
pose.
/ - Il have not had sufficient Juvenile

Miss Stearns says.
The librarian plans to visit Molokai
this summer in the interest Of her de-
partment, and may also visit Hawaii
this fall.
