Governor's P roc lain at ion.
; Gov. Manning issued the following
proclamation:
"Whereas, a state of war exists,
which makes it necessary to husband
our resources for our citizens and
for the large army of men who will
. bo used for military purposes, and
also to produce a surplus of grain
and foodstuffs for exportation; and
"Whereas, there is a worldwide
. shortage of food craps, and
"Whereas, the price of everything
that is raised on the farm is abnormally
high, thus increasing the
cost of living out of proportion to our
earning; and
Whereas, South Carolina has been
hard hit in losing practically all its
early vegetable crop, and a very
large part of its grain crop, and unless
food in large quantities bo produced,
our people will have to pur
thas food for men and animals at
very high prices; and
"Whereas, it is essential that each
section of our country be made agriculturally
independent, inasmuch as
the use of transportation facilities '
fcr military purposes will restrict i
interchange of commodities on the I
customary scale; and 1
"Whereas immediate action on the :
part of the people of South Carolina *
ai this session can, in a large meas- 1
ure, avert the dangerous conditions
1 that threatens us by reason of scar- I
city of food supplies; and 1
"Whereas, the government of the '
United States has urged such action 1
upon all people, not only as a duty c
to themselves and their communities. c
but as a matter of patriotism and *
loyalty to the nation in this crisis. j
Appeals to People.
"Now, therefore, I, Richard I. 4

Tax Loafing Lands. |
One of Gaffncv's thinkers advanced
the theory that it would be a good
thing to tax the unimproved, or unfilled
land of the country, and let
the cultivated land go without taxation.
It occurs to us that the idea
is a brilliant one, for, as he says,
owners of huge tracts of untitled
land would either dispose of the land
or hire people to cultivate it, and in
either event there would be more pro:

Probable Result.
It is one of the humors of fate that
the German empire in starting a
war of practical conquest on the
world has in ail probability simply
fired the mine to destroy the whole
monarchia! and militarism idej\ in
Europe. Already, there is talk of a

All the closely guarded secrets of | ^
submarine catching developed by the j
entente navies are expected to coni^
into possession of the American navy ,
now that the United States is ready t
to enter the war.
Detailed plans of the war department
for raising an army numbering ^
millions if that is necessary "to
bring the government of the German
empire to terms" were placed in
President Wilson's hands in the form
ot' a bill prepared by the general
staff and reviewed and revised in
part by Secretary Baker and the gen-. j
eral officers who are his military advisers.
The Westminister Gagette says an
important political mission will start
| for America from London
possible to dicuss the work of'cooperating
in the war. ^
Reports that agents of the imperial
German government are using
Elm Grove, a negro settlement near
Greensboro, N. C., as headquarters
for a campaign to incite Southern
negroes against the government of
the United States as confirmed by
local federal agents.
Whether the German government
will permit publication in Germany
of President Wilson's address to congress
was a question of great interest
at the state department.
A series of powerfully organized
points of support held by largo German
forces and about eight miles in
extent has been captured by Uu
French to the south of St. Quentin.
Most of the pacificists who came
to Washington under the guidance of
tho i1 ~e 1
?- univi^oivj' i truce; itineration to
protest against war returned to their
homes convinced that their efforts
were useless.
War plans, military, economic and
financial, for aggressive nostilities
against Germany are rushed forward
by the administration branch of the
government.
