TWO URGE BRITISH TO STRICT ECONOMY Strong Appeal to People to Conserve Resources for L War r MUST SACRIFICE TO ASSURE VICTORY a* J' Task of Nation Stressed in Manifesto of Leading Financiers. I London.?A manifesto to the people of the country lias been issued over the signature of a score of leading English bankers and financiers on the subject of the country's financial position. The signatures are headed by that of George Anderson, treasurer of the Bank of England. The manifesto in part follows: "As this is time of great national -J ii r* ^ it i'r? i 1^1 novnt mta 4 L n f Atrnnif f?ii - Utlh^Vl 11 1 ;> lltl YC villi l V. Y V I ,) V * V izen realize the vastness of the work Great Britain has to perform. In a long war success depends mainly upon the respective financial resources of the combatants and the consequent power of one of them to maintain or add to its fighting strength while the others are declining. It is not in doubt that the allies' financial resources, when fully mobilized and wisely controlled, will be vastly greater than the Annnrnr'o I "The allies success in defeating the ( enemy's efforts to cripple them in 1 men, munitions, and money before ( they could assemble their full strength has now brought the war near to its final stage. Indeed, only one thing is now needed to command victory, namely, to provide all the money needed to support the vast armies of new men and pay for the 1 vast quantities of arms and munitions 1 being manufactured in all parts of ' the world. ( "The task of finding the greater j 1 part of the immense sums of money j needed by the allies is the especial 1 duty of the British people, for they,! in particular, possess the necessary financial resources. Their manufacturing power is unreduced by invasion; their cities destroyed in the war; their ports not shut out; the income of the British people has been maintained at high level. Exports although not so great as before the war, are greater than in 190n. The income from the capital invested abroad has been reduced but little, the earnings of shipping are greater than ever and the factories are working full time. "Moreover, the effect upon production of the great army's mobilization has been largely neutralized by the more vigorous and effective work of the civil population, particularly the women. The average individual income is much in excess of any total "U J. ~ C 1. _ 1 jieruvuiure reacneu. "In the current calendar year the British people spent 1,300,000,000 pounds on war. To raise this sum is a. tremendous task which will try the mettle of the nation as it has not been tried in a hundred years. The task demands the strenuous cooperation .of every man, woman, youth and maiden ?that the nation's energies be concen trated on the production of really essential things, that the production of all non-essentials he wholly stopped. "The nation must avoid the consumption of essentials to the limit of efficiency. Individuals poxessing securities marketable abroad must sell them to pay for goods and munitions for which no other means of payment can be provided. Only by all classes adding to and carefully husbanding their income, by selling foreign securities, by creating foreign credits, wil it be possible to provide the vast sun needed by the nation and its allies."

An additional $04,400 to extend the agricultural department's campaign against the boll weevil in Southern cotton fields is requested by Secretary Houston in a memorandum sent to congress.

All State officials, including State officers, judges, solicitors, court stenographers, county auditors, county ' treasurers and supervisors of registration received their monthly checks Thursday before Christmas. A personal inspection of the State Hospital for the Insane shows a most praiseworthy change for the bettor in the institution along every line undci the superintendence' of Dr. C. Fred Williams. Hampton Lodge of Masons in Florence has determined to accept an offer made by Dr. F. H. McLeod for th< ] purchase of its building for $35,00C cash and the use of the third floor ti the Masons for ten years without rent which is estimated at $1,000 a year c additional, making the sale a $45,000 < transaction in effect. 1 It Citizens living in the Greenwood :ounty section of the proposed new :ounty of McCormick have through :heir attorneys filed protest against I leclaring the new county election. v Some of the bankers say that it has ncen a prosperous year, while others *ay that it has been the average. s t The department of agriculture says a .he American hen, whose praises can never be sufficiently sung, lays in a single year $307,000,000 worth of ?ggs. Curious calculators may tell us how many dozens of eggs at pre- \ railing prices, that titillating sum of money accounts for. After a lingering itlness Mr. Peter C 1 '' i uauc, iui st-verm years tne eincient suprvisor of streets, died Sunday at the Florence infirmary. William P. Holland, for many years y an engineer on the Atlantic Coast j Line died in Florence last week. v Saying that they believe the State "most fortunate" in securing the services of Dr. C. Fred Williams, the board of visitors of the State Hospit- * al for the Insane praise highly the efficiency with which the institution is ! being conducted by the new superin- 1 tendent in their report to Governor Manning.

BOMBS FALL NEAB THE KING AND QUEEN Paris.?Details of the narrow escape from death recently of the King and Queen of Belgium when German aviators threw bombs on the fishing village where the royal couple now re I side are printed by The Petit Journal. The King and Queen were coming out to church from mass with the rest of the congregation, says the paper's correspondent, when six German aero | planes appeared, flying low. Apparently they were coming from Ostend. The King at once told the people to ' scatter and take shelter, but the aeroplanes approached so rapidly that few ' had time to comply with his instrucj tions before the machines were over the village. Two bombs fell a few 1 yards from the King and Queen, but they were not hit by the flying fragr\ lUVIIVO. The correspondent continues: "This s is the fifth air raid which has been ah f solutely unjustified since the village is s unfortified and is inhabited only by f fishermen. What makes it worse is r that the aeoroplanes came from the section of the German front command s ed by the Prince of Wurttemburg, r first cousin of the Belgian Queen." n o 8 NOTICE. >f Taken up at my place, one soot> hog with white feet, marked swallow fork and underbit in right ear anc underbit in the left ear, apply to J, F.
