PRICE OF WHEAT FIXED. At $2.20 Per Bushel I >> Fair Price Committee. Washington, Aug. 30.?A price of $2.20 a bushel was fixed for the 1017 crop of wheat by President Wilson to-1 night on the recommendation of the wheat price committee, headed by Dr. H. A. Garfield. The price will be for number one northern spring wheat.] delivered at Chicago. The committee finally agreed today after several day? of voting. At one, time today it looked as if it would lie J unable to come to a conclusion, but i just before *> o'clock a compromise j was readied ana tne iasi vote ^asunanimous. Representatives of the producers began by voting for a price of $2..">0 and labor's representatives for $l.S4.t The two extremes eventually narrow-! ed down until the votes were .only a | few cents a part and most of today's; voting showed only a slight differ-! . ence. On the basis ot $2.20 at Chicago.! the food administration worked out, tonight differentials for the various grades and classes and for the several terminals. The ?2 price set by Congress for -191S wneat was taKeu 11110 l-uiimu-j oration by the committee in considering a value of this year's crop. To Keep Prices Down. In announcing price. President Wil- j son stated it is hoped that the fixing j of a price will stabilize the market i and keep prices within moderate bounds. ' The price of flour and bread, too, the President declared, will be keptj - down. The committee in its -report to the | President, gave as the three chief considerations of its deliberations the j fact that the United States is at war,j the need of encouraging the pro-j ducer, and the necessity of reducing! the cost of living to the consumer. All the members agreed in their j discussions that the price fixed will permit of a fourteen-ounce loaf of bread for 5 cents, allowing a fair profit both to the flour manufacturer and the baker. Not To Deduce Ihiee of Bread Soon.! 2 Washington, Aug. -31.?Prospects of an early and radical reduction in i i bread prices apparently vanished tonight when Herbert Hoover, the food j administrator, announced that the' best the public may expect is a sixteen-ounce loaf for ten cents or, i possibly eight cents. The eight cent loaf of sixteeen: ounces is possible, Mr. Hoover said, i only if bakers, retailers and con-j sumers unite to eliminate wasteful j distribution methods and cooperate! to obtain a standardized loaf. The price of family flour, Mr. i n Hoover said, should be reduced at! the present price of wheat at least two or three dollars a_barrel. Bakers' | flour, however, will sell little cheaper than at present. Standard Loaf Difficult. C.H. Corby, who is serving for the' bakers of the countrv as a voluntary; i aide to Mr. Hoover, said tonight that' a sixteen ounce loaf for ten cents i would represent a slight reduction inj present prices. Standardization, lie' said, would be hard to bring about,! since varying costs in ingredients that! go into bread have made it necessary : to increase or reduce the size of the . loaf. No move will be made toward price reduction. Mr. Corby said, until the I food administration has announced i its plans for dealing with the baking 1 industry. "The bakers have been and arej holding themselves in readiness," said a statement by Mr. Corby, "to effect the conservation of wheat." Wait 011 President. "The bakers respectfully request the public to disregard the many ridiculous statements about bread j emanating from unreliable sources j and ask that they await the announce- j ment of the President relative to the j nation's plans for bread production."! Members of the wheat price com-' mittee which recommended the price] of $2.20, fixed by President Wilson J for wheat, declared after they were] convinced it was possible to make and! sell a fourteen-ounce loaf of bread, for five cents. The country's millers have agreed i to hold their prc^fits on flour to J twenty five cents a barrel. Under] this agreement Mr. Hoover said flour j should retail in New York at from $11.75 to $12.75 a barrel. The price of bakers' patent flour to smaii; bakers and retailers, he said, should! be from to ? 11.25. One Aur^uinCnt for Autocracy About th,e caly argument in favor ' of autocracy that appeals to the J Americans is found in the fact that J under an autocracy the so-called! German-American press would not* # be permitted to misrepresent the j American Government, malign the nation's allies, and encourage the nation's enemies.?The Chicago Daily News. Governor's Sons in Service. "The Governor of South Carolina and at least two former governors of South Carolina, Sheppard and Heyward, have sons in the military service of the United States."?Columbia State. .Make it three. Ca'pt. Henry Tillman. of Greenwood, has been ready from the first.?News and Courier. This is interesting?particularly in Greenwood where Capt. Henry Tillman is in charge of home boys in the service. In connection with this general reference to Governors' sons in the service tlie Index wishes to say that I while on occasions it has criticised the I judgment of Governor Manning in i I some of his official acts, as to his patriotism and that of his family there can be 110 question. And this is something which the Governor, with the excellent taste of a gentleman,! does not use as a political boost. The' people of the State generally, we be-1 lieve. do not really know the facts and without his knowledge this plain statement of facts, in justice to him i is presented. He has had four sons to volunteer despite initial sacrifices and all accepted for the active service of their country in this struggle to preserve 1 our lives and liberties from the mer- ; ciless hand of the Kaiser. Many offi- ; cials have a son in the service, some two, a few three, but perhaps no oth- : er high official has offered so many sons to the country as Governor Manning with four sons now behind the colors. I When the trouble with Mexico ; came, William S. Manning, oldest liv- i ing son of Governor and Mrs.. Manning, was earning his living at Washington, correspondent of a New York newspaper. Though dependent entirely on his salary for the support of himself and family, he returned at once to his native State and enlisted is a private with the Charleston Light Dragoons at a wage about one twelfth his Washington salary. He served on the Mexican border in that capacity. ?Wlien this clash with Germany came, William Manning, above the age, of the draft, applied for admission to the officers' training camp. After training at Fort Meyer, Va., lie was designated by. the government a : few days ago to enter on special | training at Cambridge, Mass., for trench warfare. Another married son of the governor, Bernard Manning, resigned a ] resposible and lucrative position as cashier of a bank and entered the officers' training camp at Fort Oglethorp. A few days ago this young father returned on furlough to his wife to bury their only child. This i patriotic young Carolinian, having : earned the honor of being one of thei, two men selected out of his company I ] fr\y tV?rv nncitirm r?f instrnrtnr in the ! i second training camp, returns shortly to assume that responsibility. Wyndham M. Manning, a graduate' of West Point, married and the fath-1 er of two children, was Captain of |5 the Charleston Light Dragoons when i troops were needed in Mexico. He'; served on the border until March j 1 when he brought his troops home, ji In the beginning of this war with,, Germany, Capt. Manning was sta-j; tioned as Captain in the training jj camp at Fort Oglethorpe. As if the father, with his duties as]] war governor, and Mrs. Manning, ac-ji tive among the women of South Caro-!< lina, in preparing the State for the! ] strain of war, were not doing enough,'] still another son offered his lite.; This boy, Burwell Manning, two years below the requirements of the draft, i left college to become a private in j the Charleston Light Dragoons. There ji he waits, like his brothers, to give if! t, need be, his life for the name of the ' State, freedom of America.?Green Wood Index. I German Held; No Bail. Columbia, Aug. 29.?F. William. Kruger, a German of Charleston, was S arrested at Camp Jackson at noonj today by Jas. L. Sims, United States; marshal, and placed in the Richland j county jail. Kruger is held without! bond. Xo specific charge has been I placed against the prisoner, but he! was arrested under the President's; proclamation forbidding an alien en-| emy working in a government plant, i It is understood that Kruger held aj position at or near the Navy Yard, in Charleston and that the Depart-! ment of Justice agents of Charleston! warned him that he would have to; leave and that he eventually did so. j Wouldn't Say "God Bless Kaiser." i In a speech made by Hon David j R. Coker Saturday, lie told the story | of a citizen of t^his country, captured j when a German submarine torpedoed i his ship and who was tortured to the | death for refusing to say "God bless j the Kaiser." but would say each time, j "God bless Uncle Sam." Be it remem- j bered that this happened before this 1 country declared that a state of war i existed. It has been said time and j time again: The reason we are in ! war is that Germany made war on us. We had no choice in the matter.? Union Times. Read The Herald, $1.50 a year. ATTACKED BY U-BOAT. Experience of South Carolinian in Crossing Atlantic. Camden, Sept. 1.?Lt. Com. William Ancrum, who was called to join the American fleet in British waters under Admiral Sims several weeks ago, did not' reach his destination without exciting adventures. According to a letter received by his wife, wliicln was written at sea. the *- i-ii armed merchant liner on wmen ue sailed was attacked one Sunday morning by a u-boat. and they had a running fight which lasted threequarters of an hour, i lie German boat shelled them from a distance of two miles. Xo shots struck the ships though some fell close by. By putting on full steam and, zigzagging the liner escaped. Two British destroyers answered their S. O. S. call ! to come to the aid of the liner. All passengers had on their life belts and j the life boats were made ready, but j were not needed. Food Ships to Sail From Charleston. Washington, Aug. 29.?Diversion to gulf and South Atlantic ports of I virtually all movements of food stuffs destined for export to Europe is ilanned as a government war measure and to relieve congestion of railroads and ports in the East. New Orleans, Savannah, Charleston and Port Arthur are the ports which will be made the chief loading points, j The plan will be worked out by the shipping board in cooperation with shippers, ship owners and port authorities. The shipping board will appoint soon a general traffic direc- j tor, who will be put in charge of the programme. It was said tonight the j place probably would go to Benjamin L. Winchell, of Chicago, now traft'c direction of the Union Pacific railroad. He's Forgotten. Martha?Great Scot, John, what are you shaking that boy for?
