WILSON URGED TO
NAME MR., TAFT,
Augusta Chronicle Wires Open Letter
Letter Asking President to Honor
Ex-President.

Augusta, Ga, Jan.5.-The Augusta
Chronicle, in an open letter wired
tonight to President Wilson, urges
the President to appoint Mr.. William
H. Taft to succeed the late Justice
Lamar. The Chronicle says:
you have the opportunity, Mr..
President, to do one of the most
graceful things that ever fell to the
lot the Chief Executive of his nat
ion; at the same time, one that will
rebound to the benefit of the nation,
An act comparable only with that
act, itself, which placed Justice La
mar, Georgia Democrat and a citi-
zen of August, on the United States
Supreme Bench.
When the Hon. William II. Taft,
then the Republican President of
these United States, rose above party
politics and broke all precedents by
appointing to the Supreme Bench this
splendid Southern Democrat
even trebly distinguishing himself for
VI anu pure
tism by, also appointing Judge Lur-
ton, of Tennessee. to similar posi-
ton, and then elevating Justice
White, an EX-Confederate solder and
Democrat, to the Chief Juticeship-
he not only endeared himself to all
the people OF the South whose opin-
ions are worth anything, but he. also
gave to the country convincing proof
of his pure Americanism.
1--WE know the best democratic
thought of the South would applaud
such an act; and we should hate to
think that there are Democrats any
where in this united country who
wouldn't.
1t is an opportunity, Mr.. Presi-
dent. not to be overlooked for the
country stands to-day in need OF such
an object lesson in that pure Ameri-
canism which places patriotism above
all political parties"

SAYS CONSTABLES
ARE NOT RELEASED
Governor Writes Sheriff Martin
That He Expects Officers to
Continue to Work.
CITES PEOPLES OPINION
Says Prohibition Law Has Been
Ratihed by the People and
Must be Upheld.

Columbia, January 6.-SpeciaI:
Advised by Attorney General Peeples
that the section Of the dispensary law
providing for the appointment of con-
stables was not repealed by the ad-
option of prohibition, and that such
constables as held commissions from
the Governor when the prohibition
law went into effect on January
were still in effect, and also that
magistrates still had the right TO is
sue warrants, Governor Manning
tonight addressed letter to Sheriff
Martin of Charleston, enclosing him
copies OF the Attorney Generals
opinion and telling him: Il desire
that there be no let-up whatever in
the activity of the officers. Our duty
Is plain under the law and the law
is supreme"
In another part of this letter to
the sheriff the Governor says:
Il desire that the constables now
on duty in Charleston continue the
work they have already begun with
even more vigor and vigilance. The
law has been enacted by the ,repre-
sentatives of the people in the Cen
eral Assembly. The people have
ratihed the law by tremendous ma
Jority. 1t is now clearly the duty of
the officers toenforce this law. The
constables appointed by me have. un.
der the ruling of the Attorney Cen
eral full authority under the Code
to enforce the law. TIE magistrate
has full authority to, issue warrants
Tor the purpose of assisting the Of
ficers in the enforcement of this
law"
POUR OUT CONTRABAND.
The Attorney General also advised
the Governor that the law required
the sheriff to pour contraband liquors
and beer into the cutters.
Magistrate Cooper at Port Royal
wrote the Governor to know what
authority he had over steamers plv-
ing between Savannah and his port
regarding the liquor laws, as they
ran their bar while in the ocean, but
closed it down when they arrived in
port. The Governor referred the
matter to the Attorney General, and
he advised that the magistrate had
jurisdiction over the steamers when
within the three-mile limit, and If he
had knowledge that while within the
limit they were violating the State
prohibition law he could proceed
against them.
Beyond the three-mile limit, the
Attorney pointed out, the authority
of the State did not reach, and when
the steamemrs got that far away
from the shore they could do as they
pleased, as far as the South Carolina
laws were concerned.
