AGREE ON Bill
FOR GOOD ROADS
THE HOUSE COMMITTEE FAVORS
BYRNES' PLAN.
Believed That Measure for Federal
Highway Aid Has Good
Prospect.
Tie State.

Tie State.
Washington, Jan. THE roads CON-
m:tt2e of the house has agreed upon
a bill which it instructed the chairman
to introduce tomorrow, authorizing
him to file favorable report recon-
mending its passage. 1t is probable
that the bill will be taken up in the
house within the next two weeks and
the chance of its passage is very good.
The house has twice passed federal
aid bill. but on each occasion it has
been killed in the senate The features
objected to by the senate have been
eliminated from the bill now proposed
in the house, its provisions being prac-
tically those contained in a bill in
troduced by Representative Byrnes
two years ago, which bill at that time
met the approval of the secretary of
agriculture. 1t provides that the fed
eral government cooperate with the
states in a sum not to exceed 25,000,-
900, apportioned among the state ac
cording to population and mileage Of
rural routes. In this apportionment
South Carolina would be entitled to
$4,000 a year; the roads to be con-
structed would be selected by the state
highway commission and the work
done under the laws of the state. The
contribution of the federal government
towards the construction Of road
would not be greater than so per cent
of the total cost nor less than 80 per
cent. To participate after 1920 a state
would be required to have highway

LAURENS SHERIFF
DIES IN COLORADO
John d. Owings Passes Away After
Months of Illness-Held Office
For Seven Years.

The State.
Laurens, Jan. 6.-John D. owings,
sheriff of Laurens county for the past
seven years, died last night at Meeker,
COL, whese he went several weeks ago
in the nope of regaining his health,
which had been wasting away for two
or three months. The news of his
death was received here this morning.
The body will be shipped to Laurens
and will probably arrive Sunday or
Monday.
He was one of the most popular men
in the county and was we'll known over
the state as a fearless officer and a
sheriff of first rank. Seven years ago
he assumed the office of sheriff, sue
ceeding Capt. Thos. j. Duckett. In
1912 he was reelected, receiving a
very handsome majority over two op-
ponents in the first primary.
shesiff Owings was about 4S years
of age and is survived by his wife,
wno was Miss Drummond of this
county, and two small children. He
is also survived by his father, Capt.
A. C. Owings of Gray Court, and sew
eral brother and sisters.
According to the law, the clerk of
court takes chasge Of the Office until
the coroner can qualify or a successor
is appointed by the governor. R. o.
Hairston is the coroner. Since the
critical illness of the sheriff mis- broth
er, C. B. Owings, with the assistance
of the deputy sheriff, Columbus OW-
ings, has been conducting the office.

Search Warrants.

Il am of the opinion, therefore, that
magistrates may continue to issue
search warrants as provided in section
$50 of the code.
"Tne only change, as l see it, that
has been made in either of these Sec
lions is that in section 82S, in case Of
forfeited liquor which has been seized,
such liquors, in all cases, shall be de-
streyed publicly by the sheriff Of the
county, as the dispensary is abolished
in all of the counties"
In another opinion the attorney
general held that constables appointed
by the governor should be paid "out
of the ordinary county funds.
This opinion says:
81 am in receipt of yours of the
4th inst, which was handed me by
your secretary on the 5tn inst, in ref
eSence to section $40, volume 2, Grim
inal code of 1912, and the status of
this section by reason Of the enact
ment of section 7, act No rs, statutes
at large, 1915. You ask to be advised
The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1916-01-11

whether or not this section repeals
section $40 of the criminal code.
In reply l will say that in my opin-
ion section $40 of the criminal code is
not only not repealed by the act Of
1915, but is expressly con inued; that
act providing that Nothing in tnis act
costained shall be construed to repeal
any law defining the offense, and any
penalty, fine or provision for the en-
forcement of law not inconsistent
herewith but such provisions, penal
ties and fines shall remain in full force
and effect This section not having
been repealed, l am of the opinion
that it is not necessary that constables
appointed under tnat act should be re-
appointed
Pay, for Constables.
"The only change that has been
made in my opinion in so far as such
constables are concerned is as to the
manner of their payment. Will dis
pensaries were in operation in coun-
ties in which dispensary constables
were appointed their compensation
was paid by the county dispensary
board out of the profits of the dispen-
saries. Since dispensaries no longer
exist in any of the counties, the COM
pensation of these constables should
be paid out of the ordinary county
funds in such counties where such
constables may be appointed by the
governor.
GAS to the appointment Of constables
generally by the governor and as to
their compensation, 1 would respect
fully refer you to an opinion rendered
by the assistant attorney general to
you on the 7th of April, 1915, and
opinions rendered by myself to you on
the 18th of April, 1915, and Oath Of
April, 1915, which you possibly nave
on file. If you have not shall be glad
to furnish you copies of same. These
opinions cover all of the questions
raised in your letter of January T."

MANNING DEFINES
OFFICERS DUTY
GOVERNOR INSISTS UPON EN-.
FORCEMENT OF DRY LAW.
The Chief Executive Outlines Course
Under Opinion Rendered by
Attorney General.
The State.

The State.
After quoting several opinions by
Thomas H. Peoples, attorney general,
bearing on the enforcement: of the pro-
nibition law, Governor Manning yes
terday in letter to J. Elmore Martin,
sheriff of Charleston county, said:
81 desire that the constables now on
duty in Charleston county continue the
work they have begun, with even more
vieor and vigilance The law has been
enacted by the representatives Of the
people in the general assembly. The
people have ratified that law by tre-
mendous majority. 1t is now clearly
the duty of the officers to enforce the
law. The constables appointed by me
have, under this ruling by the attor
ney general, full authority under the
code to enforce the law The magis-
trate mas full authority under the law
to issue search wasrants for the pur-
pose of assisting the officers in the en-
forcement of this law.
81 desire that there be no letup
whatever in the activity of the officers
Our duty is plain under the law, and
the law is supreme"
in opinions rendered yesterday by
Thomas H. Peoples, attorney general,
he held that none of the provisions
providing for the enforcement of old
whiskey laws have been repealed by
the prohibition act, but have contin-
ued. "The law remains the same" he
says. line opinions were given by the
attorney general upon request of Gov
ernor Manning.
In one opinion Mr.. Peeeples said:
"In reply thereto l will say that in
my opinion the sections referred to
(sections 828 and $50, criminal code)
are provisions for the enforcement Of
the law not inconsistent with the pro-
hibition act, and are thereby not re-
pealed, but continued by the said pro-
hibition act.

lobbying.

Public hearings are very properly
accorded to those interested, VINO may
haze important matters to present for
the consideration of your committees,
and no doubt much valuable informa-
ton is gained in this way.
There is another side to this matter,
however, and it is to this other side to
which l desire to direct your atten-
ton. l refer to what is generally
known as lobbying"
Efforts to exert undue influence IN
tne shaping of legislation for the peo-
pie of South Carolina, should be met
with condemnation in no uncertain
terms
You have been elected as the repre-
sentatives of the people of South Car
olina because of their confidence in
your honesty and ability to care for
and protect the interests and welfare
OF all the people, and it is to these
people who have, by their ballots, eX-
fressed this confidence in you, that you
must answer for your acts while here,
and not to the hirelings of those who
would have you legislate special priv
i!eges for the few al the expense Of
the many.
This practice of lobbying, either in
person or through literature sent by
mail to the different members. is an
insult to your intelligence and ability
to think for yourselves on questions
affecting the welfare and interests Of
the large body of people you repre-
sent, and with whose needs you are
conversant.
I apprehend you will not be infu-
enced by such action, but feel it nv
duty to call same to your attention at
this time merly as worning.
The work of the professional lobby
ist consumes your time, is a nuisance
and an indirect attempt to silence the
-oice of the people who are pleading
for action that will result in the great
est good for the greatest number.
Gentlemen, give heed to the voice
of the people.

Economy.

The financial needs of the various
state institutions, as we'll as govern
ment departments, will be presented
for your consideration in connection
with their annual reports. While these
needs are great, and some imperative,
yet We must bear in mind the fact that
cur population being largely farming
people, our material prosperity must
depend upon the success Of the tillers
cf the soil. Let US remember that we
have recently passed through some
trying times, which have materially II
fected the finances, not only of the
farmers Of our state, but also every
ether trade and profession.
The present financial condition Of
cur people, and the burden Of taxes un-
equally distributed by reason of the
fragrant discrimination and inequality
in assessments that has been in eX-
istence over a long period Of years,
makes it of paramount Importance that
all appropriations be closely scruti-
nized and every item carefully and
thoroughly investigated before being
finally passed upon.
Ii is not my idea that the several in
stitutions and State departments be
crippled or hampered in the progress
sive work they are doing, but in con-
sidering their needs let us consider
also the source of revenue from which
these needs must be met-the pocket
book of the taxpayer. The people de-
mand that their tax levy be held down
to a minimum, and l most earnestly
urge that you heed this call. Until as
sessments and taxes shall be made
more equal and just, I shall oppose
new and expensive undertakings.
The state must progress, but it must
be economical progress.

Quitman, Oct. 9.-Brooks county will
be among the first in the state to ask
for part of the $2,000,000 appropriated
for highways which will be given the
state by the government At the
meeting Of the county commissioners
today formal application was made.
The county already has road sur
yey and profile of certain important
roads in the county and is in readi-
ness to avail itself Of the road fund.
S. B. Slack, head of road engineering
of the state university at Athens,
made this survey last spring for the
county. He attended the meeting Of

Springs, much travelled road.
